Semua Bab Blue Thunder: The Rise of the Legend - book 1: Bab 161 - Bab 170

December 24, 2004Coralis stood in a back corner of a clearing in northern Labrador, waiting for Audrey. She didn’t have her eyeglasses on, but wore her wrist binds and kept her hood pulled halfway below her eyes. She didn’t want to be seen or sensed. She told Audrey where she stood, so she could quickly find her when getting off the bus.With the tensions rising in her community and her list of mortal foes growing longer, Coralis was worried something would happen to Audrey when she was in town just because of her connection to her. She could protect Frank from her people, but Audrey was a mage: she couldn’t hide her the same way. Lizzy’s apartment was heavily warded, but protecting her when in transit was a different challenge.A first bus landed and Coralis made a mental note to check with Sebastian, Erik and Henry to get Lizzy’s car warded like Frank’s. A few minutes later, she saw Audrey getting off one of the buses and met her halfway. They were almost at the take-off area when L

March 25, 2005 – 08:00 (South Africa time)Jourmol and Erikua, members of the Shadow Elementals, were near Kruger National Park in South Africa to investigate a cell of radical elementals who were allegedly storing djinn mystical weapons for eventual distribution. A few days after arriving in town, they realized it was bigger than they thought and called for backup to take it down.Tyna, Elko and Trew arrived earlier that morning.“Erikua and I will meet again with our informant in Phalaborwa. Stay close to us and observe. We don’t fully trust him, and he never comes alone to meet us. We can always sense someone lurking on us whenever we talk to him.”Two hours later, Jourmol and Erikua stood in front of their informant, and once again, they sensed some people watching them, besides their crew.“In 2 hours, near the central point of the Wilpattu National Park in Sri Lanka, there is a weapon trade deal that will happen,” said their informant.Tyna communicated the information to the Sha

March 25, 2005 – 11:00 (Montreal Time)“SHE’S BEING TORTURED IN THERE?”“I don’t know. Sonylla said she felt someone whipping her back, that was when Blue denied being the witches they claimed they were and that’s how she knew something was going on. The way I look at it, if it can make you feel better, whatever they do to her can’t be worse than the injuries we got when we played flyball or in training. You know Blue is no stranger to brutality. If she wants them to think they captured humans, she won’t break.”Frank stayed silent.“I’m getting phone calls from just about everyone in the family, and I also need to call Erik and Henry. I’ll let you know when I find out more, Sonylla is updating High Mage Finnas on the situation. In the meantime, try not to worry too much about it. She’ll get back to you alive.”“She was supposed to be back here on Sunday morning for our anniversary, do you think she’ll be home by then?”“I really don’t know, but I hope so.”Sebastian was about to call

March 27, 2005Frank nodded. He was disappointed with himself that his friend was able to read the truth on his face, but considering the situation, where Coralis was likely to be executed, he wanted to be able to talk about it with his best friend. He hoped that Coralis wouldn’t be mad, but he also wanted her to be mad at him, because thinking about it that way meant she’d be back to him and wouldn’t die in jail.“SERIOUSLY?” said Mark.Mark was about to bring his beer to his lips, but stopped his movement and stared at his friend. Frank looked down for a moment and finished his beer.“Yup,” said Frank, grabbing another bottle.“Is she one of the so-called witches who’ve been imprisoned in there or is she connected to it?”Frank stared at his friend while taking a long sip.“Oh shit, REALLY?” said Mark, in disbelief. “Dad said that besides that Blue Thunder and Alejandro guy, there was a coven of witches there... wait... he said the alleged witches were locals... but the other two are

March 29, 2005“I’m in Winnipeg, but I’ll portal by your place if you need me to. What’s happening?” said Sonylla, heading toward the portal area.“Please do. Come listen to this,” said Coralis, trying not to let rage get over her. “I swear I’m holding on by a very thin thread. Everything in me screams to lash out at them, but it’s game over if I do.” Sonylla didn’t stop walking and tried to keep a blank face while hurrying toward the portal area."See, we told you. We knew you were married. If you won’t talk, your husband will, I promise you that. Now. We will ask you one last time. We told you the 3rd time would be the last. If you don't answer my question, my colleague will bring him in from the next room.”“HOLY GODS FROM ABOVE! That’s sick dirty mind games they’re playing! I’m almost in the portal area. You overkill your wards, but I’ll beg the gods and goddesses for forgiveness, I’ll portal on your neighbour’s rooftop. I’ve seen it from across the park.”“OPEN YOUR EYES WHEN WE
