Blue Thunder: The Rise of the Legend - book 1 Chapter 23
October 10, 2000 It was a Tuesday night. Coralis was sitting at the foot of her bed, in her UK flat, listening to her voicemails. She had just gotten back from an EBEE combat training session and had a flyball game the next day in Germany. Her roommates were home, playing card games in the living room. She was so absorbed by Frank’s messages, that she didn’t realize that her roommates had stopped chatting and were also listening to them. “Sis, dear beloved sis, when are you going to introduce us to this sweet-sounding male?” said Henry, standing against her door. “No idea, guess it depends on how long it’ll last between us. I like him, but I can hardly be there.” “Dude is inviting you to his family. Clearly, he isn’t planning on dumping you anytime soon. He’s human, right?” said Erik from the kitchen. “Yeah he is human, but I don’t care about that,” she said. She got up, walked to the living room, grabbed a whiskey bottle from their liquor cabinet, poured herself a drink and chugg

October 21, 2000 Frank told her to be there by 19:00. It was his mom’s birthday: her oldest brother, Louis, wanted to gather the family to celebrate it. His eldest daughter, Rachel, just had a baby, and he wanted to spend some time alone with them before the rest of the family came over. Frank’s uncle lived in a family house in the city’s east end, so he had the space to host his entire family. Over the past few months, Frank had missed a lot of family brunches. When confronted about it, he admitted that he was seeing someone and vaguely explained why he couldn’t just see her at a different time or invite her to brunch. His mother and sister insisted on him inviting her to their family party: they really wanted to meet her. Frank was actually thrilled about introducing her to his family, so he obliged. She took the public transit to get there, thinking that it wouldn’t raise too many questions that she wouldn’t be able to answer. She had to appear like a human, and she didn’t want t

November 25, 2000 – 10:00 “Are you sure you want to do this?” Victoria. Coralis was getting ready to go meet with Dorothy, her mother’s friend, for lunch. Dorothy had sent her a Happy End-of-Year card the previous year, through the EBEE. She had ignored it at the time. “I need to. With everything going on at work, I want answers about my parents, what they were standing for exactly. My dad said to not trust anyone, turned out he was right, probably more than he knew. He said to only trust Dorothy and his sister, so you know what, I’m going to have a chat with Dorothy. I also want to know why she took so long to try to contact me, but I care less about that.” “What I want to know, is why the EBEE keeps sending you on missions involving the CMMA as if you were an actual agent. You were only supposed to be in training with them.” “Speaking of which, I need to go to Virginia next week with Eva, for a meeting with some CIA agents. I don’t know exactly what they know about us, so I’m k

November 25, 2000 – noon “In his letter, my dad said that they wanted to get away from Lord Meozo, they even hid in Egypt for a few months… but what happened? I’ve got all of these groups telling me about why I should follow in their footsteps, while others keep telling me that they got killed because they worked for him. Honestly, I ended up signing with the EBEE to go against those telling me I should take over what they started, and that made me question whether they really wanted to get away from him. In what exactly were they involved?” “Who talked to you? If you spoke with the Swamtons or anyone in Anita’s family… don’t trust anything coming out of their mouth, they’re the worst type of shady. Your dad was right: they wanted to hide from him. Dawn could tell you more about your dad, but I do know that he never went to an elemental school: he was homeschooled. His father kept telling him he needed to refrain from using his inner energy as much as possible, and to not mark his m

December 24, 2000She made it to Frank’s family party, which was held at his uncle Louis’. She was worried that she wouldn’t be able to attend it. For the past 2 weeks, the EBEE sent her on cases whenever she was off the flyball field. She would normally be flying to the Fullemons at this time, but told them she’d be coming over the next day instead, knowing that it meant the twins would be grilling her with questions. During the evening, she became good friends with Audrey, Frank’s cousin. Audrey was 8 years old. She couldn’t figure out why, but there was something about Audrey that intrigued her. Audrey, like Frank, was also raised by a single mother. However, unlike Frank, she never knew her father: he’d left her mom before she was born. Lizzy, Audrey’s mother, was Molly’s younger sister. His sister Stephanie kept hearing about how Coralis had saved her mother against four guys. She started working as a nurse aide in a trauma centre near Mirabel the week after that incident. She

February 14, 2001 Coralis sat next to Andrew, her mentor, in the middle of a room. They had to attend a meeting with some EBEE senior agents in London. She was hoping that the meeting wouldn’t last long: she promised Frank that she’d be spending the evening with him and would try to ignore work calls. Victoria was going to be out for the day, so she told him to be there at 17:00. Elder agents Alfredino, Rolland, and Phraton were sitting behind a table by the windows. “Blue Thunder,” said Rolland, a fire mage, “I must say, your track record with us is stellar. Your mentor only has praises for you.” “Officially, you’re an apprentice with us. However, it came to our attention that your contract with The Northerners will be ending soon. When your flyball career ends, after this flyball season, we are going to formally appoint you as an agent,” said Alfredino, a wind mage. “In all due respect, elders, my flyball career will not be ending after this season. My contract with the Northern

February 17, 2001 Coralis flew to the flyball practice an hour earlier to attend a meeting with the team officials. She remembered what the EBEE elder agents had told her a few days ago. Despite the confidence she’d shown during that meeting, she was hoping that she’d actually be able to renew her contract with The Northerners. She also remembered the elves attacking the royal vampire family in Chicago, and Prince Hendrick calling her the next day to let her know that their elf prisoner was a militant for a movement pushing for the elementals to go out of hiding. She felt that the elves striking King Matthew’s stronghold a few hours after EBEE elders told her to cut ties with the king’s youngest child wasn’t any coincidence, but she had to be able to prove it. “Three days ago, we received words from an EBEE representative, verifying that your contract with us was going to end, stating that it was in everyone’s best interest. However, as you know, we have been discussing extending y

February 18, 2001She stood in the middle of the EBEE main meeting room, with Andrew to her right. She didn’t want to be there, she knew that it meant trouble. She focused on steeling her mind, harder than she ever had to, harder than she did when facing Lord Meozo. Her mind went to Frank and she wondered if it wouldn’t be better to break up with him. She knew Princess Veronica could handle herself, but she also didn’t want more trouble coming her way: she didn’t want more attacks on the royal vampire family and wondered if it was related to her. “Blue Thunder, it was brought to our attention that your contract with The Northerners had been renewed for another 3 years. Is that correct?” said Phraton. “Yes, it is correct. I told you that my flyball career wasn’t going to end at the end of this season. When I agreed to start an apprenticeship with the European Bureau of Elemental Energy, I made it very clear that my flyball career was going to be my main focus, until it would be time t

December 20, 2003 – 00:15 (Scotland Time)Coralis closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She wanted to rip their eyes out and strangle them, but she knew these girls were humans, most likely heading to the same destination as she. She believed Frank when he said nothing ever happened with that actress, but she didn’t like these girls talking that way about her man.She was thankful to have her wrist binds so she wouldn’t break storefront windows by accident. Her eyeglasses only prevented her from using her eyes to direct her elemental energy and to camouflage their elemental colour but without her wrist binds, her elemental energy still leaked through her pores and she could still use her hands to direct it. She walked away and headed to the bar before she did anything to these girls and ended up in jail.Her flight landed in Montreal early morning. She had a game in Mexico in the evening but decided to skip practice time just so she could spend more time with Frank before she had to

December 19, 2003 – noon“There is still a hold on your name, right?” said Erik.“In Scotland? Why not in London?” said Henry.“Yes, but considering Blue Thunder is technically a citizen of England, she doesn’t have jurisdiction over me. I could still be walking into a trap, however, so I still made sure of that. Not sure why she wants to meet there, but I think it’s better there than in London. Even with a hold on my name, I’m not too keen on walking around the SIS headquarters. Taking my flight from Scotland instead sounds like a better idea anyway.”She tried to call Frank on her way to Scotland but got no response. She hoped he was still asleep and tried not to overthink it, but she was worried. As she was hovering above the meeting spot, Frank called her back.“That was you trying to call, right?” said Frank as soon as she answered.“Yeah, everything okay?”“Yes. I was in the shower. Wanted to take my phone in the bathroom just in case you’d call, but my scattered brain forgot it

December 19, 2003 – 09:00Coralis and Andrew entered the meeting room, dragging a restrained Xanita with them.“What is this?” said Alfredino.“Xanita Aza is the one who killed Minister Luke Massina and we sent a copy of our evidence to British authorities,” said Andrew as he played the video timeline assembled by Erik and Henry. “Do you want to handle her yourself, or shall I hand her to the authorities?”“It seems we owe you an apology, Blue Thunder,” said Rolland, watching the video.“The warehouse we searched never had any cursed weapons. It was merely a ruse Xanita used to get Blue and me away from the hotel. Want to tell me again how in gods worlds Massina’s murder got pinned on my apprentice when we were nowhere near the vicinity of his hotel?”Phraton tried to say something but Alfredino quieted him, using magic to shut him up.“JORGIE! Jorgie Fluk gave me that tip about that warehouse!” said Xanita, panicked.“Oh, we know about that, don’t you worry. Unlike you, he’s been mak

December 11, 2003“WHAT?”“I still need to find evidence to prove it or force her to confess, but I was right. Blum was protecting someone. Xanita never received a tip about that damn warehouse.”“That explains why Gus could never find anything relevant or suspicious about it, besides someone tampering with their security cameras.”“Basic human material wasn’t difficult to tamper with. We probably were the only two elementals to have ever set foot in there. Do you know if Sebastian is available tomorrow?”“I don’t know. We don’t have a game tomorrow, but lately, I talk to him only when I’m in my London flat. Only place I can talk safely.”“I’ll check with him then. Remember when Xanita said she had a call to take and came back with that so-called tip?”“Yeah, and thinking of it, she was also the one who sent us to that warehouse.”“She had been talking to Jorgie. Erik and Henry are on their way back to where you guys live, they’ve been a great help.”“Jorgie? The same Jorgie who’s bee

December 9, 2003Early in the morning, while Frank was busy preparing coffee, the doorbell rang. He stopped what he was doing and frowned, wondering who could it be.The bell rang again and again. Coralis came to his mind and he dropped the spoon of coffee grind that he was holding to rush to the buzzer. He pressed to unlock the door below and opened his entry door to find out who it was. Down the stairs, he saw Samantha, panting. She looked up toward him.“Hey, M. Blue! Sorry to show up at this time; I didn’t know where else to go.”“Uh, it’s fine. Come in,” he said as he let her in. “What happened?”“My mom just found out about me. She wasn’t supposed to be home, or I would have gone to Tom’s aunt probably, I don’t know. During the full moon, I can’t control my shift, but I can usually shift back just before dawn.”Samantha paused. She stood, her legs slightly apart and leaning over, her hand resting on her knees.“Your mother came back while you were still in panther form?” said Fr

November 23, 2003“If you must know,” she said, forcing herself to speak sweetly, “he does not reside in London. He is busy with work and I am obviously occupied away from him.”Behind her calm demeanour, she was raging. She knew that Rolland had something up his sleeves by letting her stay at her London flat instead of locking her up in a cell. She wanted to kill the guard and fly to Frank, but she knew doing that would make it worse for them. She had to let them think she was playing their hand, no matter how hard it was. She missed him.He let go of her cloak and she jumped down on her back porch. Once back inside, she activated a custom mute-ball before calling Frank. Her pager went off as soon as she put her hand on her phone. It was her contact from MI6.“Blue Thunder on the line.”“It’s been a while since we talked, you and I.”“Given the recent events, can’t say I missed you, no offence.”“Can’t say I blame you. A report recently came to us from Clear Valley, which contradicts

November 14, 2003Before she could leave the meeting room, a furnace appeared behind the elders. Rolland stood and grabbed the casting iron lying on top of it. Its tip was shaped like a small straight line. With his other hand, he took the can of silver that was next to it and sprayed silver on the casting iron tip.Watching Rolland make the preparations to bar her EBEE tattoo, she felt relieved. She would no longer be attached to the EBEE. She would be free.“It has been brought to our attention that you recently took a mate. Do you understand that mates are a distraction in our line of work and a potential weapon to be used against us?” said Rolland as he approached her with the casting iron.“I understand,” she said, looking at him as she wondered if he meant it as a threat.Rolland pressed the casting iron three times on Coralis’ skin, where her EBEE tattoo was. The three burned lines formed what looked like a triangle. Lines all intersected with each other, except that a line wou

November 7, 2003 – 22:30“There is a lot of truth in what Sebastian just said and it’s probably exactly what happened. Gods from above know how many traitors want Blue and me out of their way. Blue, I heard about the summon and I urge you, do NOT surrender, not yet at least,” said Andrew.“You know they will send the entire cavalry if I don’t and Frank would probably be the one who ends up paying the price. I can’t do that to him.”“We’ll find a way, we know you didn’t do it,” said Stephanie.“I see you’ve got company.”“I’m with Frank’s family for his aunt’s birthday.”“I’ll be brief then. I was with you at the warehouse that night, I know you didn’t do it. When Blum called me, I remember seeing cameras outside of it. Even if these cameras have been tampered with, we should be able to prove it and argue that it was a setup. We will then need to make sure that ALL five elders are present so that Alfredino and Phraton can’t have a majority.“That way you can appeal for time to clear yo

November 7, 2003 – 21:00Frank jumped and went to the window facing the front yard.“Are you serious?”“Yeah, but I don’t think they’re looking for us. Looks like there was a shooting down the street or something like that, but there are a lot of people in the park watching what’s going on and we can’t find a safe spot to land. Too many police cars and people crawling on the street.”“Hmm maybe I can pick you up somewhere, but I drank quite a bit,” said Frank, repeating what she said to his family.“Can they land in the backyard? The backlight is on a motion sensor, but I can turn it off if needed,” said Louis, which Frank repeated to Coralis.“Let me check,” said Coralis, flying toward Louis’ house, Sebastian following her. “Yeah, it’ll be fine. We’ll knock on the patio door.”“Does he need to turn the light off?”“Yes, please.”“Wait, do they fly on a broom for real?” said Natacha when Frank ended the call.Coralis and Sebastian circled the backyard and landed next to the garden she
