Chapter 21 - Chapter 20: A surprise visit

Selene visits the boarding school to meet Kia's children. They run towards her to give a tight hug. Selene enquires and gets to know that they study in Gaylon.

Selene takes selfie with those kids...

She hears a male voice calling her..., Selene... (in a brisk voice)... She turns back to see Hudson...

Selene: Hi... how are you ?

Hudson: I am good. It's a surprise to see you back in school.... How are you ?

Selene: I am good too..I came to visit the children.

Hudson: I have to talk with you.

Selene: Yes.. I also have something to ask ?

Selene makes the kids to play in the garden, while she manages to talk to Hudson.

Selene: They are Kia's children, I promised her to check them every week. If I couldnt do it properly, I request you to spent some of your free time with these kids.

Hudson: Ok...I will do that... Where did you go all these days ?

Selene: I am fully packed nowadays. Learning some of the essential skills to develop myself.

Hudson: Smiles.... Oh...I see....!!

Selene: How are things moving in the parallel world ?

Hudson: So far it's good... Missing your presence in that world.

Selene.... Laughs...Is it..? Even I miss the parallel world. I will soon find some time to travel there.

Hudson: By the way, How is Elena doing ?

Selene: She is doing good ... How is your grand ma ?

Hudson: She is fine. Last time she loved to see you both in the palace.

Children pull Selene's hand to play with them. She smiles and waves bye to Hudson.

Selene: Will see you soon... !!

Hudson: Ok...enjoy your evening...

In the evening Abbe trains Selene..

Elf Abbe: Rip then jump, rip and jump. What is so hard about it ? This is magic 13, most important one.

Selene: Give me a chance... Abbe..

Elf Abbe: How many do you need?

Selene: It's my first time Abbe.

Elf Abbe: Look Selene...just focus... Visualise where you want to go. Picture yourself there.

Selene closes her eyes and focusses...

Selene: Balcony...here I come....(uses her magical fingers)... Thumping.....

Selene sighs.. as she reaches outside of her home.

Elf Abbe: All well ?

Selene: Puffs... I am trying.... She exhales ..... Then tries again...

Elf Abbe: Have you get anywhere near the balcony ?

Selene: Atleast, I am getting closer to house now...ok..?

Elf Abbe: Do you remember how the balcony looks like? You know there are plants, curtains and a glass window.

Selene: Stop...You are too funny...!! (Smiles)

Selene thumps again and this time she ends up in her closet... Elf Abbe unlocks her from the closet....

Elf Abbe laughs ..., Selene what were you doing in a closet?

This is the way tougher than it should be. But you are smart and talented, so do it.

Selene: Thank you... I was talking to myself....

Selene grunts and thud her bed.

Elf Abbe: And here we are again...

Selene: If you are not happy to teach me then Fairy Lara will do it.

Elf Abbe: Professor Peter wants you to master this as soon as possible. Lara won't to be able to train you properly. Unless ofcourse we reached the limits of your abilities. We are not sure about what a tri - ling can do or not do. May be you can't jump back accurately.

Selene: Or may be I need more time and patience.

A scene in museum~

A magical mermaid escapes from the museum. The mermaid travels from the museum to the ocean. It pulls some stunt on the road. Selene's friend touches the mermaid and he is pushed up to the opposite direction.

Elf Abbe and Selene track the way of the mermaid. It reaches the library to visit the professor.

Peter: I know what you want... You won't get that ?

The mermaid uses her powers to attack the professor. Selene opens her GPS to locate the way from the museum to the ocean. They reach the library to see it's doors being broken and Professor laying on the floor.

Elf Abbe and Fairy Sia try to attack the mermaid but they fail in that process.

Lara brings some water for the professor.

Peter : Come near...

Selene: Ok...

Professor Peter whispers something in Selene's ear..

Selene opens the "Sea mermaid" book of Page number 50 and keeps her hand on the book. A crystal sword appears from the book.

The mermaid chases Selene to get the sword. Selene uses her fingers and reaches her balcony. She could see her mom watering the plants.

Selene rushes back to the library.

She lifts the heavy sword and kneels before the mermaid.

The mermaid holds her crystal sword and bows to Selene. The mermaid freezes as such. The Department of magic intervention locks the mermaid in a glass box.

A reporter on television discusses that, a mermaid drama is soon going to be on air. So they have made an official launch to make it walk on the streets.

Jake says... The news is fake, I know it had powers. It attacked me on the streets.

Selene: How come a real mermaid exist ? Jake

Jake: But I do believe my eyes.

Selene: You may be hallucinating.

In the library, Professor Peter appreciates Selene for taking a risk and resolving the issue.

Peter: Finally, you got to your balcony ?

Selene thinks and smiles...

Selene: Ya.. I did it. All thanks to Elf Abbe, it's impossible without her.

She thanks Elf Abbe for the rip and jump training, to save her in time of trouble.

Fairy Lara: You did a very risky job. What if the mermaid used her sword on you ? You might be killed ..Selene

Selene: But, I wasn't killed. And moreover, Professor Peter wouldn't have instructed me to take the sword if that was so risky.

The department of magic intervention appoints a spy to watch over the Professor and the library.

The department finds astonishing to know that the sword was hidden in the library without their acknowledgement. A secret comittee is formed to keep an eye on the library and things. Thereby, no further trouble happens anymore.
