End of line

After flying away a few minutes after my cornflakes/cocoa/honey breakfast, I arrived at my mother who turned around and threw a stone at me.

Reflex: Shield!

Bang! Bang!

She disappeared.

Light! Light!

I avoided a treacherous rock.

Rudia: "Hello, sweetheart. You learned your lesson well. I'm in a good mood!"

So today we're going to work on hypnosis and charm.

The charm spell actually makes you see the fears and desires of those you target. Then come the hypnosis.

Combined with each other it allows you to stop some actions and produce others but the spell breaks if you order the target to hurt himself or herself like a suicide or jump off a roof.

But you can ask him to lend you something, not to give it away. We'll try it on you, but it would take a human to train you. We won't hurt him and I'll remain invisible. We'll postpone this lesson until you find a volunteer. We won't do it here because of the eggs.

Then we'll train you to make objects like eggs or a baby or a dragonette disappear and reappear in a safe place."

Everything was suddenly getting more complicated, but I could see where Mom was putting her priorities to protect me.

"Focus on the object. Wrap him in darkness as you would for healing. Imagine the sphere of light a at the target location. Now you have a detection glyph.

Then a motor glyph and a start glyph and a finish glyph.

"Mom, do you think I could beam the eggs to my barn?"

I'll get to that. They are too valuable to be used for testing. I'll do it in front of you and place the glyph myself.

We spent the whole day building an alarm for the little ones.

I was looking forward to being a big sister and Mom knew it. She trusted me.

Then we went hunting together. During the week there were fewer people and it was easier. Mom ate everything and didn't leave any carcasses behind.

She hunted in other towns so we could have peace.

The next day, the traps and explosive runes.

I had a big head.

On the weekend I asked, "Mom, you seem in a hurry! What's wrong with you? Cool!"

Rudia: "No, not cool. ! I feel problems coming on. If anything happens to me, it's just you for them! You need to master the base as soon as possible. What I teach you is unique and you can't discover it for yourself.

You must learn the magic of fire, illusions, astral travel, the alternating reality field and teleportation. And in the end the alteration or you can even regain human form.

Then divination to prepare you for trials.

I don't know when or how, but I know that I will be in a cage for a while and that many humans will die and you will be alone. The future of your brothers will depend on you. It's not fixed.

"Tomorrow I'm going to town to buy my schoolbag with Celine."

Rudia: "Tell Celine I'm sorry about her sister. They're the only ones you can count on. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. There is no excuse. I will never eat humans again. I was blinded by grandmother and my rage at losing you and my son. I haven't thought about it for a moment. The more I look at you, the more you look like him.

Rudia collapsed in tears at the thought of her missing child.

As we would have been one big happy family....

I left Mom alone so she could get her act together.

With the tourist case, journalists became interested in the case and this attracted the attention of zoology professors in several countries around the world.

One of them, Professor Kardon, living in an imaginary past and fond of cryptozoology, was reading his journal. He really wasn't into tablets. Although he knows how to use all the modern techniques, he is only interested in science and reputation.

He was laughing and then suddenly stopped and had a cup of coffee. He was teaching in several universities but when he saw Emilie's picture, he thought it was a montage and then saw it published in several ( serious newspapers, he decided to take his old car and go for a ride to Mont.

Friday morning, after lunch, I passed on Rudia's message to Luc and Celine.

Celine: It won't change anything, but if she has to apologize, let her do it herself, but I don't want her to put her hands here! NEVER!

Celine was furious and I flew to Mom.

I understood the Glyphs and how to program them. The possibilities were endless. In theory we could make a runic computer if we wanted.

Rudia:" So? What did she say?"

Me: "Tell her face to face but she's not afraid of you and you're not welcome!"

Rudia: "I can understand but that's the way it is!"

"Okay, now we're going to combine a shield, with a glyph and shoot like it's a magic missile!"

I said, "MAman, there's a lot! It's hard to remember all this!"

Rudia: "So as you go to town, buy a solid book that we can close and lock and you will take your notes in it. And in ancient Sanskrit because the sentences and pronunciations will be in Sanskrit! It will be your grimoire.

I have one too and I'll show it to you and you'll have to copy some pages.

Let's go back to the use of mana-discharge glyphs!

So you make a shield that you throw at a target but it has the shape of a sphere and then another in the same place in the shape of an egg. On the sphere put a glyph on it and the mana will orient itself and the whole will lift heavy objects. You can even remove gravity from the inside, it's the basis of hyperfield!

You have to control the glyphs and the mana discharge. Be careful it consumes a lot and you have to eat live prey to recover!

We tried it on a tree trunk and I managed to lift it up.

Mom, what's the point?

Rudia: "If you are attacked with devices, you turn them over! If you are locked up with a big rock or a heavy grid, you lift it up!

If you have an indestructible cage. You lift a big mass that falls on it and will break it anyway. Excavation, protection, deterrence...

Now go, I'll eat my deer.

I wanted to stay and also to leave. If I ate the deer with my mother, I would be full of blood and I would have to wash again etc before going to town.

I went back to Mont village and flying over the village, I saw an old car, an old timer and I found it beautiful but out of context, kitch! A tourist with a straw hat and a cane was looking at me from the parking lot and then I landed directly in front of the house.

"Celine, go take a shower quickly and put on your new loincloth and get dressed!"

Me: Don't we eat?

Celine" no, we'll take something on the spot

Eric, stop your console, and get dressed! Your sister will be ready before you!"

Eric: "Wait a minute, I'll finish my part! And she takes an eternal lead to wipe herself!"

I was glad they treated us like brother and sister.

The tourist went down the main street with his old reflex in a sling. He took pictures of farms and old buildings, I was also used to being photographed, and I didn't care as long as we didn't set foot in the house or on our property.

I went out the first one dressed well. And I opened the van, through the side door, I tilted the seats to pass and sat in the trunk on my big footstool and put on my belt. Eric sat in the back and Celine took her purse and took the wheel.

I opened the window because with the heat the van had become an oven. Eric did the same.

Eric had a bad idea:

We roar (especially me) through the window when we walk past pedestrians in the car.

The van started and the teacher took notes and then he saw that we were roaring together through the window.

He went to the sewer plate and took a test tube and lowered the tube to the end of a wire and pulled it up.

He repeated the place where I slumped, the stone was worn out and the wall had scratches on my claws.

He looked at and took a skin sample and found a red scale, a flake of flake.

Then, whistling, he went back to his car and took another ride.

He took a bag from his trunk, and, still whistling, took Martin Moulin's way down to the fairy valley. He had a military paper map with details of the terrain and roads and did not trust GPS maps

He took his binoculars and pointed a grid on the map. He made crosses and had absolutely nothing electronic on him. Absolutely nothing.!

He took his pipe, put on his short pants, and pulled up his socks.

All he needed was a groundhog and we would have made a postcard with him.

He therefore went to his landmarks and had a night observation device at each observation point. It was neutral and without infrared flash emissions.

He had already spotted the place where I was landing in the valley and he was going to spy on me.

I was in the van, the window open, my mouth open and my tongue was beating the wind out of my jaw and Eric wanted to catch it. I was swearing!

Celine: "Relax, you two! We're on the way. If I have to get angry, no ice cream!"

We calmed down instantly!

Then we went to a stationery store and I admired the coloured pencils. The merchant was green with fear but as everyone knew it was happening.

Then when he heard me talking to Celine like a girl to her mom, the pressure went down.

Then I looked at the school bags to put on the back and knew I could never put them on. The smell of synthetic leather reminded me of the memories with my mother, my mother who chose the most beautiful school bags for me.

I looked at them and tears fell to the ground.

The merchant saw the scene and approached me with a handkerchief in his hand.

"Don't cry, little one, you see this model, you can take off the straps and put it on!" I reflexed my head against his stomach to console me and he stroked my head and wiped my tears with the handkerchief. "Keep it! So when you cry, you can wipe your beautiful eyes."

I began to smile "Thank you, Mr. Martin..."

Celine looked at the model and asked, "Is it big enough for the first time?"

"Yes, ma'am, this model will be fine and if she takes care of it, it can be used in the second year but every year the children love to change"

The design was a little girl watering the flowers with a green watering can with a rainbow in the sky behind her.

"Emily, do you like it?"

"Yes, Tantante, thank you!"

I kept my new schoolbag, which I already cherished, close to me.

Then we looked at the pencil and pick holders. They were tried to find the size to attach them to my claw and wooden picks wide enough to fit between my fingers.

These were accessories for children who had a cast or splint. The shopkeeper was a little more expensive than in the city but he was well provided and knew what the children really needed.

I was looking at the pencil sharpeners and pencils

The classic wooden pencil box was chosen, with a sliding plate and a large key calculator and an aluminium ruler.

I also asked after a book that closes and very solid, like a herbarium

The merchant found a beautiful book bound with large pages, delivered with a nib where a stylus and an inkwell could be put.

The cover was in relief on a red background and looked like, no, it was a Harry Potter grimoire! But as it was out of fashion, it was unmarked and sold at a quarter of the price.

Just what I needed!

I was jumping: Tantante, Tantante, Tantante, I would love this book!

Why? Asked such?

To take note of my lessons with Rudia!

A little upset when she heard that name, she went to the till and handed me the grimoire.

Then Martin gave me: Here's a special edition magic wand. A gift from me!

Wow, a magic wand!

Thank you, Mr. Martin! I will use it with caution!

The man looked a little lost: It's only a toy... but in the hands of a dragon?

Celine: "EMILY! NO! I forbid it!"

My excitement faded, I said, "Forgive me, Tantante... I was so happy!"

Very happy, I left the store after Celine had done the shopping for Eric too.

With my bag in my mouth, we rushed to a brewery and ordered homemade meatballs with a hunter sauce and bacon. Of course, I had the double portion and I was often the table trash. I loved cracking the rib bones and finishing the plates.

I could see the tourist sitting at a table in a tavern across the street, on the terrace, drinking a local beer.

I was trying to stand up straight in the city and walk on two legs as much as possible. and in the end I got there. I always had to be careful with my tail not to hit someone or have a car run over me if it passed the sidewalk.

Note from the author, (I had a zoology teacher who had almost the same name and looked very, very strong, just a little less skinny, but the gait and expression are identical)
