Blue Thunder: The Rise of the Legend - book 1 Chapter 13
August 1, 1998 Coralis was lying on the couch, her legs hanging down over the armrest, in the middle of the living room of the flat she shared with Erik, Henry and Gus. She was exhausted. “Tell me again why we have to go out for drinks?” said Coralis. “Do we really need to remind you about what day it is today?” replied Henry. When she had to be in London for training with the EBEE or help on missions, she stayed with Erik, Henry and Gus. When she had to be in Montreal for flyball practices and home games, she would mostly stay in hotels or in small inns located in a pixie area near the flyball field. Once in a while, she would sleep on Victoria’s couch, but she didn’t like to go there because there were too many people living there. After graduating, Victoria went to study in a human college: she wanted to get into human medicine and there was a 2-years program that she had to follow as requirement. She was living in an on-campus dorm. “I know what day it is; I just don’t want

November 19, 1999 After her flyball game against Columbia, Coralis flew to Victoria’s dorm window. Victoria had started a medical program at the university to become an optometrist. Her dad’s family being human, she wanted to be able to better help them to see the world around them. It didn’t matter to her how gloomy the world seemed to be some days; it was still beautiful to see. Victoria wanted to help humans see the world for what it was: colourful, vibrant, full of beauty. As she approached the window’s ledge, Coralis jumped off her flying stick and transformed into her black cat form mid-air, right after shoving her stick into her cloak. She landed on the window’s ledge as a black cat and scratched the window. “Hey Cheetah, did we win?” said Victoria, as Coralis transformed back into her mage form. “Yup, we did. Columbia’s team is better than it was last season, but they’re still lacking in cohesiveness. You missed the game?” “I literally just got back. Human university is no

March 13, 2000 Coralis had to attend a mating gala hosted by the Swamtons, a prominent fay family. They wanted their eldest son and heir, Ollyo, to find a bride. They invited dozens of single elemental women of prominent families or who were powerful. Coralis didn’t want to go. She knew Ollyo very well: he was always surrounded by all kind of women. She didn’t think that there was any species that he didn’t sleep with. She dated his cousin Rowan for a short period of time, but his father was always in their business and they ultimately realized that it was better for them to remain friends instead of pushing for a relationship that would feel forced. The Swamtons were close to Coralis’ parents. They told her to bring a single friend with her. She was still a little bit angry at her parents: she thought they should never have gotten involved with Lord Meozo in the first place and stood up to him, but she didn’t know what their deal was exactly with the Swamtons. She also remembered h

May 2, 2000 Coralis was on her way to visit Victoria. For the past 4 months, whenever she would come to Victoria’s dorm, she got into the habit of landing in a remote alley nearby or behind heavily shaded bushes at night. She hated Victoria’s dorm: too many humans milling around, so she found it too risky to keep entering through her bedroom window. Dorm rooms were somewhat shared and sometimes some students would stay there all day to study or work on their essays. Victoria wanted to talk to her about the apartment she found for July 1st. Coralis knew that she had class at this time, so after landing, she went to get a coffee, thinking that she had some time before her friend would be back. As she got in line to order her coffee, Frank, one of Victoria’s friends, came out of the toilets and saw her in line. He was about to leave, but for the past few months, he’d been wanting to talk to her. Every time he saw her around the campus, she was either leaving, or he was the one who had

May 27, 2000 - 17:00 Coralis had a home game in the afternoon against India. She was supposed to go to Victoria’s after the game, so they could get ready to go to her semester party, but she had been sent on an emergency mission in West Island right after it. She found out through her mentor that since Lord Meozo’s horrendous years, the EBEE has been collaborating with the CMMA quite often, sometimes pairing up a CMMA agent with an EBEE one, just in case the suspects were also involved outside the continent. Considering that Coralis had to spend a lot of time in Montreal because she was part of the Canadian national flyball team, she shouldn’t be surprised if their superiors would take advantage of it to send her on missions there. She warned Victoria that she might arrive late, but that she would be there. However, she didn’t tell Frank. She saw him once after that night they kissed, but didn’t really talk: she had to stop at Victoria to drop money for her to book a moving truck,

May 7, 2000 - 22:00 Half an hour later after she arrived, while on the dancefloor, Coralis’ pager went off. She cursed and headed across the room to where the payphone was. Victoria knew that it had to be about work, but didn’t say anything. Frank was watching her from their table. Seeing her facial expression as he saw her going toward the payphone, he became worried. He waited a minute and decided to go check on her, which didn’t go unnoticed by Mark. He caught the end of her conversation, where she told the person on the other end of the line that she’d be on her way, and saw her hanging up the phone with force, nearly breaking the receptacle. “Is everything ok?” he asked, while leaning against the wall on which the payphone was. Coralis was surprised to see him there: she didn’t sense him coming. She wondered how much he heard of her conversation, and how could she have been so absorbed in it that she let her guards low enough that she didn’t hear a human approaching. “Do y

June 29, 2000, 19:00 Coralis was sent to investigate a ghoul issue with Eva, a werewolf working for the CMMA. Like Coralis, Eva was also an apprentice. They had been working a few cases together. They had resolved their cases quickly, even if neither of their mentors were with them, so they weren’t surprised to be working together again without actual agents with them. She met with Eva at a coffeehouse near the Côte-des-Neiges cemetery early evening. “Ready to tackle this ghoulish mess?” asked Eva. “As ready as I’m willing to be. I have a game Saturday in Thailand, hunting down ghouls isn’t on my list of things that I should be doing on a Thursday night, especially when I have no idea when I’ll be back.” “I bet, so you’ll be travelling all day tomorrow?” “I fly fast, but it will still take me 7-8 hours to get there. I could use a fixed portal from Vancouver, but I still got to take into account the time difference.” “For how long do you think you are going to be away?” “A week

June 29, 2000, 22:00 Frank and Mark entered a bar located on Acadie boulevard. They went to watch The Shaft and wanted to go out for a couple of drinks before heading back to their dorm. The bar was within a short walking distance. Mark had just broken up with his girlfriend Jessie and Frank didn’t know when he was going to be able to see Coralis and take her on a date. “All right, now you know how bad it crashed between me and Jessie, it’s your turn bud, how is it going between you and Coralis?” “Well, if you wouldn’t have been deep into Jessie’ skirt for the entire month, you would know,” said Frank. “Ouch! Well ok, I deserved that one, but it’s past history now. So. You and Coralis.” “Hard to tell, I saw her only twice since the party. The first time doesn’t count: she was walking out of the dorm’s elevator while I was coming in and she had to leave for work. That was about 2 weeks ago. We spoke a little bit, but she was running late”. “But you said you saw her twice.” “Sa

June 8, 2003 – 14:00“Lucas! That smells like him,” said Trisha.“Nah, that has an EBEE stench,” said Eva, sniffing the air. “Only Blue has officially been sent here. The smell purge probably was just in case I’d be here, but I agree with her, this looks like a setup. In the middle of a human town like that, either they want to force her to expose herself to humans to solve the case… or they hope to be able to take her out alone when she searches for the missing people.”“Last year, some elders at the EBEE worked with Lucas to take down my family, but they failed. I think the setup isn’t just against Blue, it’s also to expose us. Why else would they leave corpses drained of blood for humans to find?” said Veronica.“All right, so we will solve this case the old-fashioned way and talk in code between us when town folks are around,” said Coralis, her hand on the door handle. “Here is what we will do. We will go next door to confirm our theory, and then we check on the corpses. We will d

June 8, 2003 – 11:00Coralis hovered above the rooftop of Eva’s apartment building. Because of her line of work, Eva didn’t want to live on any pack lands, to prevent endangering innocent pack members if one of her enemies decided to seek out revenge against her.Given their long list of enemies, Coralis had her building warded recently, to prevent any elementals from entering Eva’s building, except for her very short list of trusted ones. She also warded it to allow Eva to go in and out of her apartment using portals to and from her rooftop, without any human seeing anyone mysteriously appearing and disappearing from it.“I hate portals, but I think I’m going to start using that method when coming home covered in blood,” said Coralis as Eva sat behind her.“Are we still meeting with Princess Veronica in a small town near Chicago called Clear Valley?”“Yes, Alfredino sent me there. I called Veronica right after I ended my call with him. No one in her family called the EBEE and she sai

April 26, 2003After her flyball game in France, she stopped at her London flat. She hadn’t been there for a month and Henry told her she had a pile of mail waiting for her.“Hey sis, it feels like forever since we haven’t seen each other, yet you still live here, technically,” said Erik.“True, last time I stopped here for the night, you weren’t there.”“Ah yes, we were playing in Asia. Are you still working in Scotland?”“Not at the moment. This past month I’ve been working more in the United States, but I’m being sent to just about everywhere for consulting works lately.”“That explains why you’ve been getting a lot of mail from EBEE,” said Henry.“While I’m here, I should also collect my stash of uncashed checks.”“Speaking of the United States, we got a tip regarding Fart in the Sea, somewhere in Florida. You in?” said Gus.“If I don’t have to be across the planet when you’re going there, count me in.”Coralis had a drink with them and took off toward Montreal. She arrived at her

March 10, 2003Coralis got back home in the middle of the night. They considered installing a pet door on their kitchen window. Their back door didn’t have a screen door. The window did have a screened layer, but it wasn’t the time of the year to leave the windows open and they didn’t want squirrels to come in during summertime. It would look suspicious if only Cheetah could pass through a pet door, so they decided against it.Once again, she had a lot of blood on herself, but her winter coat was clean. She was hoping that no one would notice the blood on her face as she crossed the street and was thankful that Frank chose an apartment located across the street from the park.She took a shower to get the blood off her skin and crawled into bed next to Frank. He turned to bring her closer to him.“Hey luv!” he said in a sleepy voice, as she passed her left arm around his chest. “How was your night?”“Long and weird. Elf against pixies, goblins and djinns in the mix. We were 6 agents an

December 24, 2002 – 21:35“There is a lot of truth to that, I think,” said Coralis.“What about your bloodlines? You two are pure-blooded, right?” said Lizzy.“Yes, we are. Mine originates from the Roman goddess Salacia, we’re water mages. We’re close to our god and although most of my family lives in an elemental realm… somewhere underground… we never agreed to the radical ideology that wants us to rule over humans. We believe we should guide and protect, not rule and enslave.”Sebastian removed his vest and rolled up the short sleeve of his shirt to reveal what looked like a small tattoo behind his left shoulder, a pattern symbolizing his family goddess.“When we reach maturity, usually a few years after graduation, but depends on bloodline and, well, life events,” continued Sebastian while putting his vest back on, “we get the mark of our family god. It appears on our skin overnight or gradually, depending on the bloodline.”“Oh, so we could potentially be in danger from your kind?

December 24, 2002 – 21:00“Uh, right, sure. I admit I’m not fully knowledgeable about human marriage rituals, I mean, ceremonies, except from what I saw in the movies I watched with Stephanie. I’ve had classes on human society at school so we can blend in better, but the teacher didn’t elaborate on the marriage part. Coralis might have to teach me about it,”“Nah, my past among humans taught me about divorce, I’m not a reference there.”“Right, so. Yes, we view mates as soulmates and unlike humans, we don’t do divorce. For us, when we decide to take a mate, it’s a forever thing and the ritual ensures that. However, I will also point out that when it comes to mixed couples, I mean, when an elemental takes a non-elemental mate, or spouse, we may or may not do the full ritual, it depends on the couple and uh, the non-elemental partner,” said Sebastian.“Why does it differ, is it because it involved a certain amount of magic?” said Frank, his arm still around Coralis’s shoulder.“Partiall

December 24, 2002 – 19:10“BRO!” said Stephanie and Frank at the same time.They all stopped eating.“Why would we?” said Coralis.“Humans aren’t our enemies, I don’t see why we would kill you all just because we could,” said Sebastian.“I’m not trying to offend anyone, but I can’t help myself from wondering if you’re all into a fake bubble, feeling safe when you aren’t, although I can hear myself thinking clearly, so I don’t know. I’m confused about all of this. Coralis, if you grew up in orphanages, shouldn’t you hate us all? Unless you didn’t.”“BRO! That’s enough!” said Frank, then looked at Coralis, “Luv, you don’t have to answer him.”“It’s fine,” she said while massaging his thigh to reassure him. “It’s a legit concern, especially considering the current heated climate among elemental clans and other supernatural. There are a lot of clans and factions out there that want me to hate humans enough to turn against them.”“But you would never, I know you would never, right? Neither

December 24, 2002 – 17:45“Uh, kind of,” said Coralis, looking between Frank and Raymond, confused.“BRO!” said Frank, quickly turning to his brother. “They aren’t witches and they aren’t here to kill you.”“Sorry about that,” said Linda, walking to them to collect their winter coats and bags. “Raymond found out when Sebastian and Frank arrived. He asked questions about Audrey school’s situation and why you were the one to pick her up. He doesn’t know everything yet.”Audrey was holding tight to Coralis, which didn’t go unnoticed by Frank. It meant a lot to him that his family was accepting of Coralis and how close she and Audrey became. Lizzy got up the stairs and went around Raymond to meet up with Coralis and Audrey.“Sebastian and Lizzy said they were mages, so they’re witches, aren’t they?” said Raymond.“No, Ray, they aren’t,” said Stephanie, looking at her brother through the railing. “A witch and a mage aren’t the same thing. Let us explain it to you before you jump to conclus

December 24, 2002 – 16:00Sebastian and Stephanie arrived at Louis’ house.“Hey Ray, I wasn’t sure you’d be here tonight,” said Stephanie.“Misha’s family decided to visit their family in Italy for Christmas and flights to go there are too expensive for me.”“I don’t know your situation, so I apologize in advance if I’m out of line… but if she wanted you to come and you wanted to go… could she have covered the cost of your flight tickets?” said Sebastian.“Don’t worry, you’re fine. I’m sure she could have, her family has money, but she didn’t offer and I didn’t ask. I heard Coralis is taking Frank to Scotland tomorrow?”“Yeah, and she didn’t offer either. She just paid for his tickets when she booked them, she knew he wanted to go.”The doorbell rang. Sebastian was still standing by the door so he answered it.“Hey Frank! Coralis and Audrey aren’t with you?”“They should be here around 6. Their flights from St. Johns got cancelled, they had to take another one that had a layover in Ha
