Part XIII - "Meeting of the Generation"

 "We will build a large residential complex here! Every tree will be cut down, I don't care how old the trees are!" - shouted the mayor at the place where the forest is. Arik, like an idle old man who heard that there would be works, came to the forest to see what kind of facilities he would build and for what kind of nebuloses they would cut down a forest more than half a century old. He looked sadly at every tree, and the intoxicating smell of magnolia drew him to it. He commented quietly: "Oh, forest beauty, they will cut you too! What are the young generations, nothing is sacred to them! Damn it with their constructions, to destroy such beauty from the forest, bloody hell with them! Eh, let them die of an air pollution then - well, they should! "

 Magnolia began to wake up, frightening Arik. Magnolia: "Arik, you are in the time portal, you have to get out of there!" Arik: "You are talking?!" Magnolia: "You are my only hope - gather Team Blume here around me, it's the only way to get out of the portal to which Cataleia sent you. Hurry until they start cutting, if they cut me down you'll never get out of here, and Cataleia will make her plan happen! "Arik (anxiously): "How do I find them? Do you think I can do it alone? " Magnolia: "That is the only thing that can be done. The easiest way is to bring Harmony, just say that they will cut down the trees and she will come, she is in the suburbs and has a lot of animals, she has a small yellow house with a yard full of flowers, you can't go wrong. Amora is in the family house, she lives with her husband in a smaller building and her son lives in a bigger building. Her daughter got married, she has a total of five grandchildren, you will find her if you go to the market because she went there. Rea lives in the very center of the city, she tries very hard to preserve her youth and I know that she will go to a beauty salon today, she has short purple hair, so you won't have a hard time recognizing her if you see her. Makena is a little harder to bring here, she owns a company with her sons and husband, it will be hard to convince her to come because she works during the day and goes home immediately in the evening. Lilith ... you'll have the hardest time bringing her here, she's in the hospital, in psychiatric treatment. She has a more severe form of dementia, she doesn't remember anything and they don't let her out of the hospital. "Arik:" We'll convince them to let her go, at least until everyone gathers here. Is there anything else? " Magnolia: "No, just bring them here, that's the only way I can bring you back to the present."

 He found Harmony first. Arik: "Are you Harmony? Magnolia told me that your house is yellow, with flowers and a lot of animals ... Am I wrong? "Harmony: "No, you're not ... You look familiar to me, I don't know how do I know you. " Arik: "They want to cut down trees in the woods near the city." Harmony (stunned): "They can't do that! Should we allow that?! (starts with him) Until I am alive, I will not allow them to kill the forest! Only over my dead body! " Arik: "Um ... We need four more people, I have to find them." Harmony (confused): "Okay, let's find them and let's go."

 They came to the market. Arik noticed Amora next to the seasonal fruit counter. Arik (waves): "Amora, there you are!" Amora (recalls): "Arik, where have you been, we haven't seen each other in years! Why you don't arrive sometime, I will prepare delicious lunch! (sees Harmony and greets her) Do we know each other from somewhere? " Harmony: "It occurred to me, too." Arik: "There's no point in explaining, we have to find three more people and go to the woods. If I explain to you, you'll think I'm kidding, you better see for yourself." Amora (wonders): "Okay ... We won't be able to get there fast, I'm old, I'm not as mobile as I used to be." Harmony: "We'll take it easy, but we won't let them destroy the forest!" Amora: "Then let's take it easy."

 Rea was next. Rea: "Why would I go to the forest?" I have an appointment at the salon! "Arik: "Listen, beautiful, I was told to bring the five of you to Magnolia, she says we won't get out of here if we don't gather there. " Rea: "To get out from where?" Arik: "From the portal! I didn't understand everything, but we have to succeed. If all of it is a nonscence I will pay to you whatever you want in this salon tomorrow, but today come with me. I have a feeling this is important. " Rea: "Okay ... if you're wrong, you have to make up everything for tomorrow." Arik: "Agreed."
