Duckvember Day 01: Occult Duck

For a moment I thought about drawing Magica De Spell, but then I remembered her handsome brother. I guess he could read your future, in private hehe

I dared to join the Duckvember event that happens on Tumblr. This month I will only draw ducks. I will not do lineart because I would never finish.

Put a candle on my hand because I will destroy it this month.

Duckvember Day 1: Occult Duck

This takes place in my headcanon 87/comic universe. No beta gotta get out this stuff fast EVERY DAY I GOTTA WRITE *cries* When posted later on AO3 will be beta-ed and have better descs I swear. 

—-------------------------

It wasn’t the first time Gladstone had been in Magica’s old family home. She had taken him here more times than he could count on his fingers now. He wondered why she just didn’t live here and not the shack by that volcano. Instead, she seemed to treat this place like a safe house whenever they were in trouble with another magical being. 

From the living room Gladstone could hear Magica and Poe upstairs arguing about what to do next with the current problem. From what Gladstone had gathered, another witch had been trying to get his Uncle’s dime. So technically the sibling duo was working on a plan to protect the dime from this third party. They were also trying to figure out who the third party was. 

Gladstone wasn’t too worried about it. He had been dragged into the whole situation because he may have seen the would-be thief. Though the information he had wasn’t much help to the De Spells, they still made him tag along. 

He was able to get the ancient TV working in the living room. The machine had been covered in a thick layer of dust. It was built with a wooden box around it and had a bulbous glass screen. Gladstone figured it had never been used in ages because dust was on the knobs as well. With just a few turns though it had turned on for him. The black and white screen showed modern news on it. The news was in italian though, so it wasn’t something he understood. It didn’t hold his attention long. 

The goose realized that every time he was here, Magica never said he couldn’t wander around. She never said there wasn’t anywhere he couldn’t go in the house. When he got up off the couch he did a big stretch before walking out to the entryway of the home. Gladstone made a mental map of the house in his head. The estate wasn’t huge, but he knew he had only seen half of the upstairs. He had also never seen the kitchen.

He didn’t expect there to be any food in the kitchen. Gladstone had already assumed Magica did not stay here for long periods of time. From what he had seen of the house, some rooms were kept up. Then there were a majority of rooms that have covers over the furniture with layers of dust.  The only consistent thing through the house was the dark wood trim every room had. 

Gladstone had three doors in the entryway to choose from. He didn’t want to go upstairs since the two siblings were still half arguing over the dime thief situation. There was a doorway to the right, one to the left, and one that was in the middle, tucked in the side of the large staircase going up. The goose went to the left, most logical for a kitchen to be.

He was right, it was a kitchen. However, it was clearly not in use. There was an empty gap in the cabinets where a fridge would normally be plugged in. It also looked like it used to have a center island cabinet that had been torn out. An outline was left on the off white stone tile where it used to be. All the surfaces were covered in dust except for the sink. The sink looked like it had been used more recently, maybe for a quick hand wash. 

Out of curiosity, Gladstone still went over to the large double doors in the abandoned kitchen. He assumed they were doors to a pantry. Swinging the doors open, he found he was correct. The dark wood shelves were bare though. About to close the doors, Gladstone noticed some books in the far left corner shelf. 

He made a face at the dust that rose when he picked one up. It did not stop him though. What he found was just some very old cook books. The goose wondered if he was expecting spell books instead. It was a kitchen after all. As he looked through the covers of the books, there was disappointment that none of  them had funny pun titles. 

The last book in the pile had no title. It was a different darker leather bound than the others as well. Gladstone shrugged and opened to find it was not a cookbook at all. Instead, it was a photo album. The page he opened to no one looked familiar. It was more to the front of the book and the photos were old matte brown and white. He flipped through more to the back where the photos were still not colored, but a black and white glossy finish.

Gladstone recognized a young Magica in the photos. He also assumed the other duckling of the same age was Poe in the pictures as well. It had been mentioned in passing that the two were twins. There was also two teenagers in some pictures with the young Magica and Poe. The older girl Gladstone knew he had seen in other pictures in the house before. Magica had told him it was her older sister that unfortunately was killed in an altercation with witch hunters.

With the  older boy in the pictures, Gladstone had never seen anything around the house before. He kept flipping through the pages closer to the back of the  photo album. The older sister and the older boy looked to be around the same age. Gladstone thought to himself that maybe they were twins like the two De Spells he always had to deal with now? The older siblings looked like they had black feathers around their eyes with a thin line of black going from the far corners of their eyes down the side of their face. 

There was a point where the older boy wasn’t in any of the pictures. The very last picture in the book was the older sister looking fully adult with Magica and Poe, probably around early teens. The picture was in color. After that there were no more photos but plenty of blank pages to fill. No more photos were added after that. 

“Looking for a snack?” Poe’s voice interrupted the goose before he could have any deep thoughts. Gladstone  was surprised he didn’t hear the raven’s wings before hearing his voice

“Huh? Oh! No! I was just- looking around. I found this,” Gladstone lifted up the open book in his hands. The goose had no shame to hide that he was technically snooping around. And after all, it was Poe’s family album. He wasn’t going to keep it from the raven.

Poe landed on Gladstone’s shoulder before the goose turned to walk out of the pantry. Gladstone was used to the raven sitting on his shoulder, especially when his sister wasn’t around to perch on instead. He flipped the pages on the photo album a few pages back for the raven to see.

“I found this with the cook books. That’s your older sister right? Magica mentioned her before. Nestra?” Gladstone didn’t ask brashly. He had been told their sister had died, but he asked in a delicate tone. He was curious about their family. In the back of his goose brain he also thought the photos would bring back good memories. 

Luckily, Gladstone was right, and Poe’s raven head perked up at the images, “Oh yes! That's right! I didn’t even know this was here! In with the cookbooks! That’s strange. Well, I guess out of all of us she cooked the most. Maybe she left it here.”

The green clad flipped through a few more pages slowly so Poe could see the pictures. Gladstone’s curiosity got the best of him and he had to ask, “So who’s the other kid in the pictures?”

“Oh, that’s Castor,” Poe didn’t seem to have any problems spilling the dirt. It wasn’t a touchy subject for him, it seemed, “We kinda had a falling out with him a long time ago.”

“I noticed there weren't any pictures of him around the house too,” Gladstone stated.

“Magica took them all down when we started coming here more often. She holds more of a grudge against him,” Poe gave a shrug with his wings, “I’m still mad at him but at the same time, it was all stuff out of his control.”

“Do you want to elaborate on that?” Gladstone tried to pry.

“I don’t know how much my sister wants you to know,” Poe replied. 

“Alright, alright, I get it. I don’t want to cause any trouble between you two. You seem to have enough already,” the goose added. Poe made an ‘ugh’ noise in reply. 

“She’s busy calling up witches she thinks may be encroaching on her territory. One of the calls would be an ex-girlfriend of mine so I wasn't too thrilled,” the raven explained before preening one of his wing feathers. 

“You know, sometimes my luck helps me stumble upon clues like this. Could there be a possibility it’s your older brother that is trying to steal the dime?” the goose speculated. 

“Oh no, Castor isn’t interested in magic in general. He’s off being a lawyer somewhere. Last I heard he’s never lost a case either. He was always really smart,” Poe stated. 

“He got named Castor and then couldn’t do magic?” Gladstone asked before putting the photo album down open on the nearest kitchen counters. He flipped back to the beginning so Poe could look over his shoulder at the much older pictures. 

“He can do magic, he just chose not to. Ironic since I would LOVE to do it but I can’t,” Poe muttered as his eyes still followed the old photo album, “You know, after my sister is done making her calls, you should show this to her too. I don’t think it would make her mad, she’d like to see pictures of Nestra and our parents too. She might be happy that you found it.”

Gladstone hadn’t even registered the pictures of the twin’s parents. In that moment it reminded him that Poe and Magica were orphans as kids, like him too, “Alright- well let me know when she is in a better mood.”

Right then as if on cue Magica could be heard yelling from upstairs for her brother, “POE! I NEED YOU TO HELP ME FIND MY YEARBOOK. MAYBE ONE OF THEM IS THE CULPRIT!”

“Aheh- welp, back to the mines,” Poe said with a half laugh before taking off from Gladstone’s shoulder and out of the kitchen,  “talk to you later!”

“Sure,” Gladstone replied softly, the ‘orphan’ thought still lingered on his mind. He shook his head hard and closed the photo album. He walked out of the kitchen to see Poe already gone. The goose held the album under his arm.

He came back out to the entryway. He eyed the door to the right to be his next place to explore. Or, he could hunker down back in the living room and go through the photo album more slowly. At that moment he noticed the door under the stairs was open. It had not been open before. He could still hear the siblings upstairs talking  to each other, so they weren’t in whatever room that door led to. 

Gladstone didn’t think much of it.Though the setting of the house others may consider spooky, he had grown quite comfortable with it. If anything, it was the old wood of the house settling that made boards creak and doors open. The other option he thought to himself was that his luck may be leading to that yearbook Magica was looking for.

He was sure that was it. The goose headed to the open door to find it had stairs going down. With blind confidence he headed down the stairs in hopes to impress the twins with his book finding luck.

PART TWO WILL BE ON A DIFFERENT PROMPT *SCREAMS*

Duckvember Day 02: Venomous Duck

It is said that men are more violent in killing, while women are more subtle.

I don't think Strawberry is that kind of woman, but I know she is a motherly woman who loves her family. So hearing other people talk badly about her children or her husband will only make the next cupcakes the last ones.

I've been wanting to draw Strawberry for a while, although I hope to make a better fanart for the next one.

Strawberry belongs to @miyakoqualcker

Duckvember Day 03: Prestigious Duck

What? You don't know him? How could you not know him? He is the famous Count Duckula, who descends from a long line of vampires. His show is the most popular in all of Transylvania and everyone loves him. And he is very willing to give you his autograph and maybe turn you into one of his zombie plant servants.

I don't know if he got the word right but it is what it is haha

Duckvember Day 2: Venomous Duck

Unbetaed and wild yet again. No one can stop me.  Back in the day some friends and I made a bunch of OCs for Mighty Ducks the animated series and this story has two of them made by @fluxchixa long time ago I kinda did a lot of stuff character building them too. Really no one else knows these chars except for ONE other person because I use one of these chars in a D&D game of hers. LOL. 

Also I would write one of the OCs speaking ‘old english’ but in a way my high school self back in the day would. I tried a modern english to an old english online generator and it was crap and not helpful at all. So I just did it my idiot way. It actually sounded better. 

—---------

“Siege! Get that meddling magic user that keeps throwing those blasts down here!” Dragaunus barked out the order. They were in the usual warehouse fight with some of the duck team. Most of the ‘core’ team was fighting the lizards at  the warehouse floor while some pesky magic users were on an up above walkway taking pot shots at them. 

“With pleasure,” grumbled Siege, who was also getting tired of the random blasts himself. Tucking behind crates to avoid puck blaster fire only to get hit by magic blasts from above was beginning to get annoying.  How to get up there was another story though. While Siege was the muscle he was not a complete idiot. When he was glancing around for the ladder to the above walkway he saw something just as good. The support beams that kept the walkway up in the first place. With his blaster the orange lizard shot out every beam near where the blasts were coming from. He found it unfortunate that the magic user wasn’t in sight or he would be blasting them instead. 

When the overhead walkway fell, instead of a magical duck falling with it, something went off into the air instead. There was a pink feathered duck with wings coming out of the dust. In two arms she held the wrist of a cream feathered blue billed duck. Despite the sudden fall, the blue billed duck still had her sights aimed at Siege. She pulled her free arm back and charged a light blue magical blast. The blast was thrown directly at the orange lizard. Lucky for him, he had time to duck behind another crate.

“See, you can’t expect the magic blast to do all the work. You have to put more of your arm into it,” the blue billed duck instructed the one holding her. It wasn’t said in a rude tone though, she was obviously teaching the other duck. 

“Yes, I understand. But please don’t move  much until I get across to the window,” the pink duck had already formed a plan to get to the next safe place. A high up window on the side of the warehouse.

“There was two of you up there? Where are all these new ducks coming from? I can’t keep TRACK anymore!” Siege complained before raising his head above the crate he was hiding behind. He then raised his blaster to fire directly at one of the pink duck’s wings.

“Nina, watcheth out!” the blue billed duck warned the one in flight. With a wave of her hand she casted a short shield spell over the pink duck. Though the shield protected her from a direct hit, the physical force of the blast hit loosened her grip on the other duck. Then  dropping the blue billed duck to the walkway wreckage at the warehouse floor level. 

“BLEU!” Nina was trying to gather her bearings to dive down to grab her teacher again. The fall was a short one though and didn’t give her time to even try to catch the other duck. While Nina was focused on Bleu though, Siege fired another blast at the winged duck, causing her to fall too, though a distance away from the other magic duck.

Bleu got to her feet rather quickly despite the drop she suffered. Between the dust of the fall Bleu could see her student getting caught by Grin. She had already observed several times previously that the muscular duck had a soft spot for Nina,  “I shouldst get myself one of those.”

In that moment the blue billed duck heard Siege approaching and started to cast a shield on herself. However, before she could, the orange saurian had already grabbed her from behind, pinning her arms to her sides. He had cast his gun aside, finding it more important to grab the magic using duck. 

“Got you!” Siege exclaimed as he tightened his grip on Bleu, “No more of your blasts from above. Not so tough when your hands aren’t free to cast, huh?”

“Wraith wouldst be doing the like if he was here,” Bleu scoffed, followed by a grunt at being squeezed tight by the orange lizard,  “Any cunning magic user worth their mana always hath a back up plan.”

Bleu’s bill glistened in a weird refracted way for a moment. She opened her bill wide. From the angle Siege looked down on her, he could only see the top of her beak. What he could not see as he held her was the nice long set of fangs she had. 

The orange saurian experienced a sudden burning pain as two punctures were thrusted onto his arm. Though the fangs were small, they felt like large blades digging in him. And it gave a burning that quickly spread from there the sharp spikes first bored in. 

Siege let go of Bleu. It was more of a reflex than what he really wanted to do. The drop was sudden for her too, not landing on her feet, but on her knees. She struggled to get up, feeling like she had bruised ribs from how tightly the saurian was holding her moments ago. 

Despite the pain the brute saurian felt in his one arm, he put both hands in a fist over head. His intention was to bring them down with a force on the blue billed duck. 

Luckily, his attack was interrupted by puck blaster fire. Siege stumbled back away from Bleu. Before he could go in to make another attack he instead gripped his bitten arm in pain and proceeded to back up more. A few more projectiles from a puck blaster headed in the saurian’s direction

Bleu looked up to see a familiar redheaded duck welding the firing blaster, “I can always relyeth on a fellow lady for assistance.”

“Always happy to help,” Mallory replied in a tone that sounded like she was annoyed, but it wasn’t directed towards blue. She often suffered from a ‘resting jerk face’ physically and verbally.  Bleu understood that, and often suffered from the same. 

With her blaster still pointed at the orange saurian, Mallory offered her free arm to help Bleu up. It seemed like the rest of the team was successful, since Dragaunus and his other minions were retreating. Siege quickly followed in suit.

“Wow, what did you do to him?” Mallory questioned. In the heat of battle she had not really seen Bleu sink her now not visible fangs into Siege. 

“Oh, just a little of thy usual, as thee say here, hocus pocus?” Bleu smiled a currently fangless grin.

—------------

“Well, she probably used some poison dipped daggers on you,” Wraith argued with Siege as he looked through several glass bottles in a case in front of him.

“I had her arms held DOWN. She bit me! That's how it happened! Since when are ducks venomous!” Siege growled as he coddled his injured arm. It was now limp with no muscle control at all. 

“They’re not. That is why I am saying you must have seen the situation wrong. Maybe she had one arm free and stabbed you twice?” Wraith muttered as he found the liquid solution he needed, “Any smart magic user worth their mana always has a back up plan.”

“Ugh… wait, what did you just say- AGH!” before Siege could think about what Wraith had said, the old warlock had jabbed a needle in his injured arm. Without a warning he injected the whole continents into the orange saurian. 

“There, you’ll be fine by sunrise,” Wraith muttered as he closed up his case of vials.

“Ugh. Whatever,” Siege grumbled, not thanking the old saurian and just left the room. He saw Dragaunus  right in the hall by the doorway of the room he was leaving. He just kept walking and grumbling though, not giving their fearless leader and acknowledging greeting. 

Dragaunus stepped into Wraith’s room right after Siege had left. 

“Venomous duck?” Dragounus questioned with no other words. Wraith let out an ugh and a sigh.

“Siege is just seeing things. Or perhaps he is a sore loser that one of the little witch ducks got the best of him,” The old saurian grumbled.

“And out of all the different venoms it could be you just happened to have the cure?” 

“It is part of my job to always be prepared. You should be glad with the limited supplies I have that one of the few anti-venoms was the cure for Siege. He’s very lucky,” Wraith replied in his usual even tone.

“Yes, but all of your little bottles contain saurian anti-venoms. Right? For those of our kind that are venomous?” Dragaunus questioned as he leaned in closer to Wraith.

“So this duck somehow had saurian venom she weaponized. They keep bringing more and more powerful allies to this planet. That is what you should be concerned about,” the old saurian pushed past him, not threatened by their overlord at all. 

“Right,” Dragaunus just gave a short reply. That one word carried heavily the feeling that he was losing trust in his most powerful minion.
