The Last Normal Years

"Hey, Ace, the girls requested your help in the Magix Archives Basement library." Stella told him as they came out of the building.

"I'll go and help them then, you two make up with your high opinions of differences."

"I don't have a high opinion of everyone or anyone on Earth thinking like that gets people into serious trouble especially Americans who argue whether the death penalty is worth it. Death doesn't teach a killer anything and if he's a sick brave man the truth would die with him. All it does is prevent a few deaths not all of them people die every day on Earth and many people don't cry over them, but yet we ignore the ones who won their hard fought uphill battles. A living woman or man who survives thousands of hostile nights in hostile areas is worth caring crying over than some stupid dead corpse. These people had family who loved them and I feel sorry for them. In that case I have to care about the corpse because this family needs to know this most definitely wasn't an accident as an anthropologist would say it was deliberate murder and there is one group here who would not fear stabbing an innocent."

"The Trix obviously, it has to be something related to that witch group." Stella offers.

"They did freeze me in an iceberg the first night I came here, but I don't blame them but they did kidnap Stella and nearly squished her to death, Ace. This is them all over. One is stabbed and frozen in an ice coffin. Another gets electrocuted and the other two are unidentified yet. If Stormy and Icy are working together it has to be them, okay." Bloom agrees with Stella.

"Thanks, Bloom." Stella answers and asks. "So are we more than friends again?"

"Stella, we're more than accquaintenances I know you better than my own Earth street neighbors." Bloom said. "But like Musa and Tecna, I've only known you three two weeks at most too soon to make that call Stella. Flora on the other hand, she has been my roommate every night except the nights I happened to be in the infirmary. She came for me in the swamp with some other students, Princess Happinees."

"Oh, that's a new one, you know Tecna gave me a radicially technical pet name, Bloom. She started calling me Steamy Sunshine." chuckled Stella.
"That does sound like something Tecna would definitely say, Stella." Bloom replies giggling.
"The nymph of hydraulics she went to Earth to study Hydraulics, and the Metalogy that goes with them."
"That means she had to have been hired at an Earth airport on an intern scholarship." said Bloom. "The girls said she was fanatic about a subdimension Earth mermaid that disappeared from one world. She could still be on Earth for all we know, Stella."
"A water based hydraulic would be used in small spaces like those wings down stairs in that Magi Archives Basement I'm sure she based them off the jet propulsion of the Chamber Natillius in our oceans she must have found a submarine diver interested in her strange interest of strange work, the natillius is actually the Aquatic cousin of the Garden snail and slug on Earth. It means she may have learned to care and raise them to determine the pressure they push at against the water. She has gotta still be on Earth it is impossible for her not to be. And it would explain why no one bothered to check the planet she might have returned to for her presence because everyone here is afraid of getting caught with using them mayic on a non believing humankind plant and she is right people there a very cold. If they found out she had magic she'd be a ransom victim by now, and she's not."

"So you're saying she got off Zenith came to Magix, went to Sandria and Callisto first, then to Andros, and went to Earth returned to Andros to study the water at the Heart of All the Magic Dimension's oceans and then returned to Earth to continued to be hired as an intern, but stashed her projects here so no greedy human can get their hands on them." Stella inquires as they continued to walk down the street to Magix Cholocated Stuffed Drinks.
