"Thank you, Mr. Rogue for that heartwarming, empowering and rather...unusual opening speech."
"My Pleasure.
…Enjoy Kids.
Time for me to check in on your little ones."
*Close*
"Oooo…..why does it feel like there's a chill in here when he said that?"
"Luckily, there is no Stephanie in elementary, and we all know Darius is not going to ruin his speeches that he so lovely likes to give...….unlike some people."
"Class, that is quite enough out of you. Now, please turn with me to page one of 'A walk through the Rainbow.' "
"Still can't believe Ruby thought this was a Bedtime story."
"Shhh."
"Most things are hidden in the most obvious places. Put something in front of a Kid and call it a magical Pony; they will believe you and not question the truth further.
Put that same thing in front of an Adult, and they will immedieately tear it apart."
" 'Open your eyes, little Tyke.'
'Where am I?
'You are safe now. Safe within the loving embrace and care we share.'
'We.?'
'Yes?
Repeat after me.
Apo the Skoni sto fos. Apo ton aera. Zontanepste (Pouli).'
'Very good, Tyke. Now, take my hand and let us fly together to my home. I have so much to show you.' "
"Question?"
"Yes."
"Why couldn't Tike just say 'Open Sesame'.
"Haaaahaaaa."
Or….have the Guardian ride Tyke on her own. Why have him repeat after her?"
"Excellent question.
The Guardian asked him to repeat after her, because she wanted to make sure he had…"
"Ooo….oo. A clean pure conscious before he walked in."
"Wouldn't the Guardian have known that the boy was already chosen to walk through?"
"Probably just wanted to make sure. You never know.
She didn't want to feel guilty about kidnapping the wrong kid."
"Why was the spell so long? Why not short like ummm….Ruby….gold!! Turn a rock into a gold ruby. Am I right?
Besides, wouldn't it take too long to say this in the middle of fighting?"
"You don't have to physically say the spell. That is just the first few times to help you memorize the words. Soon, you'll be so good that you can do it all in mind only.
But until then....Unless you want to stand the rest of the day; the word for chair is Karekla. Replace it with the word Poulli."
"Shouldn't be too hard of a spell. Both sentences begin with 'Apo'."
"One more thing. That first sentence is what you will use for every spell going forward; so….even if you don't get the spell on your first try...…at least do your best to memorize that."
"Why not memorize the next sentence of 'from air to might?"
"Your suits are already air, and they bring your might."
"What if we don't have our suits on?"
"Your uniforms are designed to take you anywhere, anyway; but in the off chance that someone I don't know....forgets and leaves it at home, then you're done."
"You're saying?"
"If you wanted to, girls; you could fold your whole uniform into a bra, and tuck it away. Just as long as it's an article of clothing and not a jewelry accessory.
Guys, you could….."
"Turn our uniforms into underwear."
"Haaaaa."
"What? We don't wear pants or jeans wherever we go, but we all have on underwear."
"What happens when we transform? Now we no longer have a bra…..or underwear."
"We could….."
"Class, however you want to disguise your suit is your own creative way, and yours alone. For now….."
"Sorry. Clear the mind. Got it."
"Thank you."
" 'Apo the skoni sto fos. Apo ton aera. Zontanepste Karekla.' "
*Pouuufff*
"Nothing happened."
"Hey...turn me back into a human this second."
*Boop*
"Thanks, Stephanie.
But what happens when you're not here?"
"I suggest you get learning then."
"Same goes for you, Stephanie."
"What?
…Me?"
"Yes you."
"Have all of my training and years at the Wizardy School meant nothing?"
"It never hurts to gain a little more experience. You can never have too much."
"Fine........ 'Zontanepste Karekla.'
*Poof*
Happy?"
*Errrriiiaaawaaaaaaak*
Now, I get to sit back and watch."
"Oh no you don't. Help out the others…..….please?"
