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

July 21, 2000 Coralis got back home to her UK flat around noon. The Northerners won the semifinals against South Africa the day before and the team had stayed in town for the night to celebrate. When leaving Johannesburg in the morning, her teammates flew directly to Bulgaria, where they were going to play the next day, for the finals, but Coralis decided to fly to her UK flat instead, and to head to Bulgaria later on that night. Her roommates weren’t home, so she took advantage of her time alone to listen to her voicemails. Frank had left five messages. She listened to them while sitting on the foot of her bed. She enjoyed listening to his messages, in which he would simply talk about how his day went. Knowing she would soon have more time to spend with him, she wanted to give him a call. She looked at the time and calculated the time difference. Hoping she wouldn’t be waking him up, as it was 7:00 on a Friday morning for him, she dialed his number. “Coralis?” answered Frank, in a

July 27, 2000 The next Saturday, Frank needed to go shopping for a new laptop: he couldn’t fix the one he had and had saved up enough for a new one. Mark joined him, and they went to a shopping centre in the area where their friend Victoria lived. After making sure that she was home, they decided to stop by her place for a coffee before heading back. Frank was hoping to be able to see Coralis before they’d leave. They spoke a couple of times, but hadn’t seen each other: she was either free when he was at work, or she worked when he was free. Meanwhile, Coralis and Eva were wrapping up the case they’d been working on all week. Coralis was covered in werewolf and vampire blood. She dropped off Eva where she lived, then headed straight home. Victoria didn’t know at what time her roommate would be back, but looking at the time, she became worried that she’d get back as Cheetah while Frank and Mark were there. She didn’t want to be the one to have to explain to Frank that his new girlfri

October 10, 2000 It was a Tuesday night. Coralis was sitting at the foot of her bed, in her UK flat, listening to her voicemails. She had just gotten back from an EBEE combat training session and had a flyball game the next day in Germany. Her roommates were home, playing card games in the living room. She was so absorbed by Frank’s messages, that she didn’t realize that her roommates had stopped chatting and were also listening to them. “Sis, dear beloved sis, when are you going to introduce us to this sweet-sounding male?” said Henry, standing against her door. “No idea, guess it depends on how long it’ll last between us. I like him, but I can hardly be there.” “Dude is inviting you to his family. Clearly, he isn’t planning on dumping you anytime soon. He’s human, right?” said Erik from the kitchen. “Yeah he is human, but I don’t care about that,” she said. She got up, walked to the living room, grabbed a whiskey bottle from their liquor cabinet, poured herself a drink and chugg

October 21, 2000 Frank told her to be there by 19:00. It was his mom’s birthday: her oldest brother, Louis, wanted to gather the family to celebrate it. His eldest daughter, Rachel, just had a baby, and he wanted to spend some time alone with them before the rest of the family came over. Frank’s uncle lived in a family house in the city’s east end, so he had the space to host his entire family. Over the past few months, Frank had missed a lot of family brunches. When confronted about it, he admitted that he was seeing someone and vaguely explained why he couldn’t just see her at a different time or invite her to brunch. His mother and sister insisted on him inviting her to their family party: they really wanted to meet her. Frank was actually thrilled about introducing her to his family, so he obliged. She took the public transit to get there, thinking that it wouldn’t raise too many questions that she wouldn’t be able to answer. She had to appear like a human, and she didn’t want t

November 25, 2000 – 10:00 “Are you sure you want to do this?” Victoria. Coralis was getting ready to go meet with Dorothy, her mother’s friend, for lunch. Dorothy had sent her a Happy End-of-Year card the previous year, through the EBEE. She had ignored it at the time. “I need to. With everything going on at work, I want answers about my parents, what they were standing for exactly. My dad said to not trust anyone, turned out he was right, probably more than he knew. He said to only trust Dorothy and his sister, so you know what, I’m going to have a chat with Dorothy. I also want to know why she took so long to try to contact me, but I care less about that.” “What I want to know, is why the EBEE keeps sending you on missions involving the CMMA as if you were an actual agent. You were only supposed to be in training with them.” “Speaking of which, I need to go to Virginia next week with Eva, for a meeting with some CIA agents. I don’t know exactly what they know about us, so I’m k

November 25, 2000 – noon “In his letter, my dad said that they wanted to get away from Lord Meozo, they even hid in Egypt for a few months… but what happened? I’ve got all of these groups telling me about why I should follow in their footsteps, while others keep telling me that they got killed because they worked for him. Honestly, I ended up signing with the EBEE to go against those telling me I should take over what they started, and that made me question whether they really wanted to get away from him. In what exactly were they involved?” “Who talked to you? If you spoke with the Swamtons or anyone in Anita’s family… don’t trust anything coming out of their mouth, they’re the worst type of shady. Your dad was right: they wanted to hide from him. Dawn could tell you more about your dad, but I do know that he never went to an elemental school: he was homeschooled. His father kept telling him he needed to refrain from using his inner energy as much as possible, and to not mark his m

July 20, 2003Despite going to bed in the middle of the night following the celebrations of winning the Silver Cup, once again, Coralis woke up early. She hoped she wouldn’t get called by the EBEE to go on a case. She knew Frank would be working all day, so she agreed to meet with Panjik and Sonylla for training.Frank woke up while she was still busy making breakfast.“Morning luv!” he said while standing behind her kissing her neck with his hands on her waist.“Morning!” she said, turning her head to kiss him back on the mouth. “Breakfast is almost ready.”“Still wanna go train today? With the workload you’ve had for the past few months, I’d think you deserve a break,” said Frank as he filled his mug with coffee.Frank sat on a stool by the kitchen island.“Yes, I need to. Panjik wants to help me train my spirit magic and give additional fire magic training to Sonylla, and I won’t pass on that. I was supposed to go to London for hand combat and weapon training with the EBEE… but I’l

June 8, 2003 – 16:45They chuckled as they got deeper into the forest. The scent trail led them to a clearing and a hunter’s cabin at the back of it.They saw five goblins playing cards outside of the cabin. Coralis, Veronica and Eva stood behind the tree line and watched the goblins for a minute.“If the vampires involved don’t have a daylight bracelet, they won’t stick their nose outside. We each kill one goblin, tie up the other two and we then go into the cabin,” said Veronica.They bumped each other’s fists and walked toward the goblins. As soon as they saw the trio approaching, the goblins stood up, accidentally reversing the card table.Without stopping nor saying a word, Coralis and Veronica unsheathed their swords and Eva pulled out her knife. The goblins walked toward them.“What are you doing here? You aren’t supposed to be here,” said one of them.The women quickly beheaded three of his companions and Veronica got behind him, grabbed his wrists and pushed him down. Coralis

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
