April 22, 1994

Every 4 years, there was an inter-school flyball competition between the strongest teams of the world. During March, regional leagues would host small tournaments to determine which team will get to participate. United Kingdom had 4 flyball teams: two for the Glasgow Elemental School, and two for the Imperial Elemental School. This year, The Brazen Bolts were selected to represent their region at the inter-school flyball competition, which was held in France.

Erik and Henry were looking forward to it. They didn’t get to participate at the last inter-school competition because their team hadn’t been selected. They heard that scouts for the national teams would often attend and that even if they weren’t looking into recruiting new players at that moment, they would then keep tabs on those that got their attention, especially if the players they wanted were simply too young to be recruited. Coralis was also excited at the idea of scouts attending the competition: she was

    March 31, 1995 Coralis was beyond exhausted. For the past few months, she’s been spending all of her time between classes, flyball, additional classes and the library. She felt like she had no free time for herself, even if in fact, she considered flyball practices and games as fun times. She missed the shenanigans with the Fullemon brothers or with Victoria. She wanted to end it with Lord Meozo. She hadn’t received any random letters for over a year, but she remembered them well and didn’t want to receive any more of them. She was tired of it all: of the looming threat hanging above her head, the uneasy feeling of something watching her and waiting for it to concretize, the overloaded extra-curriculum activities, and all of those people who thought she would start worshipping Lord Meozo just because her parents did. At 19:00, she was sitting in the library, once again, trying to research what had been tried before to destroy the type of creature that Lord Meozo was. As far as she

    May 26, 1995 Coralis could not sleep. She barely slept the entire week, regardless of how exhausted she was. She couldn’t shake off the feeling that something was about to happen. Lord Meozo was the topic that was on everyone’s lips, everyone had a story to tell. The school didn’t share any news about him, because they didn’t want students to panic, but relatives and friends outside the school would write everything about it in their letters to students. The elemental population was frightened: they didn’t want to lose their aura to Lord Meozo. The students knew they were safe at school, but the school year was almost over. What would happen when they get home? What would they come home to? Coralis knew the school wasn’t as safe as the administrators wanted the students to believe and she knew that it was a matter of time before he came for her himself. At 4:00, she got up and went to the window to sit on the ledge. The windows were locked, but she had found a way to open them. Loo

    June 30, 1995 It was Coralis first flyball game with the Canadian national team, against Spain. Flyball seasons started mid-August and ended the first week of July. The top 8 teams then had 2 weeks of playoff finals to determine which team would win the Silver Cup. The season was almost over, with only 3 games left to it. The team wasn’t going to make it to the playoffs and the remaining games were on home turf, so the coach decided to let their three new reservists play: Coralis, Lydia and Sebastian. Lydia was 17, a fellow attacker, while Sebastian was 16, a goaltender. Although Lydia and Sebastian were supposed to be graduating at the end of the following school year, the team had also signed them up for 2 years as reservists because of other contracts with other players already in place and just in case they would have an additional year of schooling to complete. She was introduced to everyone as Blue Thunder, as per Martha’ stipulation. Coralis didn’t mind it: she was used to s

    March 23, 1996 Coralis was in Denmark with Martha. The school had agreed to let her play in some weekend flyball games, provided that Martha would go with her: she was still considered a minor in their elemental laws and customs. While they walked through town after the game, heading back to their hotel after stopping for coffee, three vampires started to follow them. They sensed that something was following them, but didn’t know how many people. They tried to lose their stalkers, but they didn’t know the city. “What is it this time?” said Coralis. “I think I want to bait them in an alley to find out who sent them and why they’re after me this time. Lord Meozo better not be back again.” “I think our stalkers are vampires. We should indeed get them to follow us into an alley, to at least get them away from humans. Lord Meozo cannot come back, you made sure of that.” “Authorities said that 15 years ago and they were clearly wrong,” said Coralis. “You heard Borin when you got back

    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

    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.

    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

    October 22, 2002 – 22:40“Who is Mousse?” said Molly.“She is Pier’s mother, I believe,” said Lizzy.“Yes, that is correct. Mousse is also involved in this mess,” said High Mage Finnas.“About the school, I would like to have Audrey transferred to the Northern Labrador Elemental Institution and if her mother agrees, I would like permission for a mind-link. That way, if something else ever happens at school or when she’s with her mother, she can reach out to me instantly.”“Granted. Both requests. I will get back to you regarding her transfer to NLEI, but you can go ahead with the mid-link.”Lizzy wondered what a mind-link was but didn’t want to interrupt. Remembering all that happened during the past 2 days, she didn’t care what it was: if Coralis thought it was a good idea, she would agree to it. She had seen enough to know that she could trust anything coming out of Coralis’ mouth when it came down to Audrey’s safety.“Thank you. Before coming here, I spoke to Lucida Chorms, the mot

    October 22, 2002 – 22:18Everyone was holding their breath. Neither Coralis nor Dwayne got back up. Frank wanted to rush to Coralis, but Sebastian stopped him.“She isn’t dead, isn’t she?” said Lizzy, her hand covering her mouth.“I want to go to her,” said Frank.“She probably stam’ed out, but we can’t go in yet. Given how much energy has been discharged during the battle, it's not safe for humans to get close to them, not until the lingering energy starts dissipating. If there is no movement for 5 minutes, the officials will go have a look.”A few minutes later, High Mage Finnas and the two CMMA officials walked into the circle to check on them.“What does stam’ed out mean?” said Louis.“Means she entirely drained her energy and passed out, out of stamina.”High Mage Finnas stood back up and whispered something to Vectan. The CMMA representative nodded and headed to Audrey’s family.“Blue Thunder won the duel.”Lizzy hugged him and Frank released his breath.“She stam’ed out?” said

    October 22, 2002 – 21:03“Your brother should have known better than to make that kind of deal with a human, you know it’s against our laws to begin with and I didn’t have to accept it.”“That may be, but only Audrey’s new guardian can accept it and duel me, you should know better.”Coralis remembered what Frank had told her about his conversation with Pier. Feeling proud of him despite the situation, a grin appeared on her face. She held her wand tight in her left hand and had her right one stretched next to her, palm facing him.“You are facing Audrey’s new guardian,” said Coralis as she threw a laser beam at him.He tried to dodge it, but the laser went right through his left hand.“LIAR!” he said while throwing her a blast of air, throwing her backward in the air, “Audrey’s cousin said the guardian is his girlfriend. Where is she?”Coralis shifted into her panther form as soon as she passed the shadow line, and landed on four paws behind a treeline. She crouched and transformed ba

    October 22, 2002 – 16:50Frank looked at her. He was speechless.“Our laws and customs do not allow an elemental to make that sort of deal with a human unless he, or she, is a marked mate of an elemental. Blue and Frank are a couple, yes, but she didn’t mark him as mate,” said Sebastian.“Like how shifters mark their mate? I know all about what mates mean for werewolves, is it the same for elementals?” said Stephanie.“It’s similar. Like it is for werewolves and most shifters, the ceremony surrounding it is the equivalent of a marriage, a mate is a soulmate, but the ritual isn’t the same. There is no biting involved and there is a spiritual aspect to it,” said Sebastian.Frank was listening with interest to what Sebastian was saying. He knew that a long-term relationship with Coralis was possible, but it didn’t occur to him that their customs regarding marriage would be different, so he never thought about asking her about that.Coralis’ hologram vibrated.
