Chapter 13 - Greedy Fairies

-So Russell Jasony Fox, 24 years old. I did not know that the English were sending fellows to Johannesburg. His level is almost appalling compared to Grassi. He is a native of the New Forest, inherited a farm and had to sell it to pay for the trip to Africa. He is self-taught, a fencer, a polyglot, a graduate of the Tigris Academy in Magical Archivology and a post-graduate degree in Counseling. Being an orphan, he inherited the last fragment. He has a background in Management and Business since he worked in the family business of raising horses ...? Seriously, what is he doing here? -

-You think that's strange, Edaleen Dior Fairchild, 25 years old. She won 2 regionals in hockey and women's soccer. Polyglot has a Bachelor of Arts and a Postgraduate in Design. She graduated from the Saint Lorenz Academy. An orphan, she shows potential as an Editor as her grandfather but she is dedicated to following in the fairy godmother footsteps of her grandmother and her mother, although without much luck. She has a reputation for being a mess. She was the cause of the black snow 10 years ago. And she is the last bearer of the fragment. Clearly this girl is a disaster and that she is with that boy leaves much to be desired about the decision to pair them-

-That's what you say now, but if you analyze well, that file is wrong. See how well they get along, they can even use Dominance to make them listen to them. The boy can use his aura at will of him, something very required in Programming and the girl therefore uses analysis and guidance, typical of an Editor. Pass me the tablet I want to corroborate something-

-You are looking for your relationship with the Families of Origin. Fairchild has a terrible pike with them and to make matters worse she is the last carrier. They had the option of looking for her to get hold of the fragment of her but they chose to isolate her so that it disappears. Very cruel, being that the fragment of her is the most desired of all, but on the other hand, nobody would like to have such a monstrosity of power in her hands. It would be uncontrollable and could make the star that clings to it end up disappearing instead of merging-

-The boy is also a last carrier that puts them on the same board. What the fuck were Sylph and Rocket thinking by pairing them up?Do they want to marry that pair off? Hahaha… the only way for that fragment to react without dying would be for it to be its equivalent, but that hasn't happened since the Renaissance. That girl is a walking danger, she is the alpha and omega of the stars and she seems not to know. Her fragment of her cannot be fused and cannot be tamed, so her family divided the star until she achieved exhaust it to extinction-

-Hey, you were right, here it appears that Rocket initiated a procedure on behalf of those two in the Records office a week ago. Don't they know that it will be impossible for them to unite that fragment with his and even less try to request a new family to house it? A waste of time for all alike-

-Apparently they don't care, but that is beside the point, now the problem that afflicted us has already been solved. You have to take out Grassi and put someone competent and that most of them listened without hesitation. I vote to put that pair in charge until the matter is resolved.

-I vote the same, first you have to fix the anomaly. The rest is a trifle that can be solved later.

-Everything perfect, but what about foreigners? The Americans arrived on Friday along with the Germans.

- I forgot those bastards want to enter as observers. Well, they got the worst part of the anomaly. How many dead characters do they carry? -

-The Americans have three more than the Italians and are even with the Koreans. The Germans are also even with the Saudis, but thank God we have no deaths and only moderately serious injuries.

- With more reason, Adis bring them to my office as soon as they finish exhibiting, they have to sign the contract. And bring Rocket, I want to ask that rabbit that she was planning behind our backs by hiding two users-

-Prior you are going very fast, let me take care of everything. You take care of the matter of the rebellious wands and let Cinthia deal with foreigners before they stick their noses where they are not called-

-The foreigners will not be a problem, Adis is right, everyone is waiting to solve this world calamity and you are the central figure. Everything must be fixed before another disaster strikes. I'll take care of taking the lists to your office later.

The trio of fairy godmothers continued talking and waited for the exhibition to end.

The viewers were dumbfounded, solved everything they could, and seemed ready to begin their duties the next day. They were approaching just to resolve some doubts and slowly retreating outside.

People were still talking animatedly when they saw one of the famous fairy godmothers arrive to the stage and asked Leen and Ross to accompany her to talk about what happened on the day. Everyone was paralyzed, for it was common knowledge that no supreme fairy godmother would personally come to see others of lesser rank unless they had strongly attracted her attention or were promoted.

Leen was shaking and Ross was trying to appease her by holding her hand until they reached the office of the Fairy Godmother Prior. They gulped and entered. The rest of the curious fairies were hanging around just to know how that encounter would be resolved. They would wait for the couple to come out and pounce on them to question them mercilessly.

Rocket was inside and looked pale as if he had been given the most horrifying news ever heard. They sat down and after the introductions, Prior and Adis began to investigate them to get the most out of them. They gave them their profiles and each one was shocked by what they said about them. They didn't think fairies would ever believe the crazy ideas Rocket wrote about Ross or because Leen was listed as Catastrophe. The fairies were trying to convince them to switch to the managerial position by matching up with Rocket.

**

-We need to appease them, if there is even the slightest feeling of rebellion, the departments will succumb to disaster. Obviously I am not telling you that they are going to do it for free, the position entails a salary increase and an hourly overload that can be subdivided into 8 to 10 hours-

-Is the salary negotiable? I ask because I don't think the position is worth it-

-Well, it would be ZAR 85,000 for each one, does that convince you or do you want more? -

[God it's almost $ 6,000, Ross say yes! do not be an idiot]

[Wait, apparently I can ask for more]

-Well, it seems to me that we deserve more since there are 3 departments and less free time, I don't know how it doesn't convince me-

- 86K, free weekends except general meetings and 1 transferable free day per month. Social security, family health coverage and viatic payments in case of trips abroad for conventions or exhibitions, do not ask me more I do not plan to give you more greedy brat-

-...-

-We accept-

-Well, here is the contract. Read it and if there is something that is not to your liking we can discuss it-

After an hour, they both emerged from the meeting gracefully and looked satisfied. The people who were outside waiting, when they saw them, ran to face them. The news that would spread like wildfire the next day thanks to the gossipers, was that 2 new managers had been appointed and no one who had attended the exhibition could discuss it.

It was about 9 pm and the only thing Leen and Ross wanted was to get home. They dedicated themselves to talking with one of their new companions who happened to live in the towers where they resided. Olga offered to drive them but suddenly when they were arriving at the parking lot, Leen fainted from exhaustion in Ross's arms, who had no choice but to carry her to the car.
