Spectrum, Moonspell, and Soleil were known as the Titanic Triad among fairies. They were the largest international businesses and complexes in matters of creating, selling and arranging wands for stellar shards and grimoires. The rental of rooms and training camps for the entrance exams of the magic schools and academies of the region was what gave them the most profit as well as the sale of supplies and souvenirs for the magical world.
Soleil was the most famous among low-income youth, as their low rates gave them the title of the saving sun among those who arrived in the capital of Johannesburg with little or no money. The rents could be paid after getting a job and with 30% of the first three months of salary. The payment for the aid received was indicated when signing an agreement and the more time spent in the complex, the greater the debt would become, so the vast majority left to look for work as soon as they arrived in the capital.
Morty took it upon himself to take them both in his car to Soleil. They got their belongings out of the car and headed inside.
The receptionist checked their shifts and assigned them arena 113 and a room until Monday. They unpacked and took some books and reports with them to study while they trained.
-Here she says that from Monday to Thursday there were more than 27 failures in the assigned novels, when the normal would be one failure every 6 to 8 months. The Plot Development fairies had to go out almost all the time to avoid a collapse since their job is not that, they found themselves with their hands full and more than half deserted due to stress-
-Wow, as if they have so much work.-
-Leen, do not underestimate or discredit the work of others. As small as it looks, without that grain of sand the system would be affected-
-Did you become his lawyer or what? -
-No, I was just reading the manuals and regulations. And like it or not, you and I are stranded in the same boat as those groups. Their job is more difficult than you might think, for example, plot developers must set the stage to be perfect, so that when the fairy arrives she no longer has to carry the burden of conducting the concert baton. They will only wave the wand to finish joining the characters and that's it.
-I forgot.-
-Noticeable. I read you the summary of what we have to do: The Villain Preparers must lead the character to the path of villainy. Grafting ideas, plans and even pushing crazy if necessary. The villain must be addicted to hurting the protagonists, the obsession for power, love or glory will be his fuel.
He must fulfill his mission of damaging the protagonists to unite them more. Its end could be chosen by the programmers if necessary, being able to choose the most common endings such as: exile, repudiation, jail, torture or death ... what ... who the hell made these rules! I want to complain to management. This is stupid-
-Why are you yelling? Not that it was so bad-
-You don't understand, someone was manipulating me from behind and I didn't realize it. Dammit!-
-That is not true. See the user manual on page 1197. You come from a short story and short stories have no watchers or developers. See if you don't believe me-
-How do you know that if you never read? -
-I studied it because I wanted to go to a place where no one would see me, and that place is the stories and fables. Unlike the novels that have a preparation, a cycle of returns, sequels, magical characters and extras; tales and fables handle themselves. They have a beginning and an end, they do not give a chance to fail, that is why they do not need extras or external help other than the work of the fairy godmothers.-
-It does not allow failures? Are you sure?-
-It was a fucking accident, Ross, is over it.- In addition, you were not manipulated by a programmer, on the contrary, all the characters were created, revised and edited so that they acted and had a specific purpose. You were you acted as the villain, nobody was manipulating you.-
-Leen, who is the editor? Can I speak to him sometime or do you need to make an appointment? I need to clarify things that I am not satisfied with-
-Fuck off. Better get training. Now I want you to give me a glass of water- Leena extends her hands and waits for something to happen
-....-
-Ross, give me a glass of water-
-Ask it please, if you don't fuck off- Ross absorbed himself in his reading and ignored Leen, when he began to hear how she mentally cursed him and threw a tantrum and then, she stopped to think that she should go with the flow if she wanted to receive help.
-Please ... just for now would you give me a glass of water-
-And how do you expect me to do that? I am your wand but doing magic is not given to me. Explain how and I will help you.-
-I don't know, I just thought that saying "give me this or that" as it would always turn out.-
-You are lousy as a fairy. I don't know why your mother believed that you could take care of her wand, that idea was terrible-
Hearing the word mother made Leen internally depressed. She turned away from looking at Ross's face and began to wail inwardly.
[You don't know anything about my mother. You have no right to talk about her like that. You are an idiot and I am blind for believing that you would help me. I wish you would obey me even once, stupid wand]
Leen's pain permeated Ross, who had no choice but to get up off the ground to calm her down. He hugged her and suddenly felt as if she coupled with her feeling of loss, causing him to hold her tighter.
[I just wanted water]
[I know I'm sorry]
To her surprise, it began to rain inside the compound. They were both taken aback watching the rain fall.
[I forgive you. Thanks Rusty] Leen hugged her wand tighter.
[You're welcome ... wait a minute. Since when can you hear what I think?]
[From the kiss in the restaurant hehehe]
[I'm in trouble right?]
[Yes]
[Apparently we have to get along for it to work. Do you want to try again? Ask me something.-]
[So I want ...]
When they were about to kiss, they heard a disturbance outside. Angered by the intrusion, they go to verify the origin of the disturbance. A werewolf was trying to calm a half-reptilian man who was shown to be very aggressive.
-I only ask to be in the sector away from the training arenas. The noise does not let me sleep, and the room shakes with each practice, am I asking for a lot? Bring your supervisor.
-I'm very sorry about your situation, Mr. Trudy, but that's not possible. We got the report on his little dilemma, and there is a good chance that he will be fired. Let me tell you that if he doesn't find a way to pay us before the three month lease he will have to leave without his valuables. His family has refused to take charge of any damage or crime he incurs at this establishment. Please think twice what you want to do. He also has the option of leaving on his own, obviously we do not generate extra charges.
Bradley was stunned. They were practically kicking him out of the compound with nowhere to go.
