All Chapters of Blue Thunder: The Rise of the Legend - book 1: Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

March 31, 2005Coralis and Alejandro sat with their back against the cameras drinking their daily soup. When done, they tore down the polystyrene foam bowl and crafted three keys out of it. Satisfied with their shapes, they pretended to pee in their buckets to hide the keys in their underwear without raising suspicions, and pushed the pile of polystyrene foam pieces toward their respective cell gate.An hour later, Sonylla invited Coralis in her mind to show her on her hologram a detailed map of their jail, sent to her by Erik.“Your posse are geniuses. I suspected it, but what they dug up proved it. Look at this,” said Sonylla, pointing at a circle drawn on the jail. “You two and their other prisoners accused of witchcraft are being kept separately, in an abandoned wing located in the subbasement. You and Alejandro are over here, at the eastern dead end of that wing.”“That’s also why I wanted Sebastian to reach out to them. Even better if they contacted you directly with it. That kin

April 4, 2005 – 02:45 (Sri Lanka Time)Alejandro used his thumbnail to delicately unscrew the two very basic sensors for the alarm. When done, he pushed the door open and placed the sensors on the ground next to it while Coralis walked outside, followed by the twelve women they just released.From the outside, the back exit was barely visible, blended into a forested hill. They admired for a moment the forest surrounding them.“Run this way, you’ll get to a main road. Don’t look back and don’t say a word until you get to the road,” said Coralis before they opened their mouth to thank them.They nodded and turned around to run away. For one last time, Coralis and Alejandro turned to look at a camera, above the emergency exit. Smiling, they waved at it and walked away.Once they were out of range from any camera, they swapped their jacket for their cloak, put on an invisible glamour and took off.Alejandro told the Shadow Elementals they made it out and were on their way to South Africa

April 4, 2005 – 03:15 (South Africa Time)“Well, well, well, look who do we have here.”A djinn and an elf approached the scene.Behind them, a raven changed form. Whazk turned the djinn to stone and beheaded the elf before they could say or do anything else.“We’re done here. Tyna and Elko, take that stone djinn to Giornie and wait for us there. We burn this place down, and then we go to Morocco,” said Whazk through the Shadow Elementals mind-link network.“Foes are down, but we still need to set the compound on fire. I’ll let you know when we’re leaving. Jourmol and I will go to Morocco with the crew, and we’ll head to the CMMA HQ when we’re done,” mind-linked Coralis to Sonylla.Sonylla relayed the information to the people in the room.“Glad to hear Blue Thunder is okay. I was worried for a moment,” said High Mage Finnas.“Tell them they need to come here now,” said General Tobly.“No, they don’t. Tobly, this is not your mission. Blue Thunder and Agent Jourmol Pinq are Shadow Eleme

April 4, 2005 – 03:10 (Winnipeg Time)Coralis needed a shower and a drink badly. She didn’t want to sit in a meeting room. Above everything, she wanted to go home with Frank.“The weapons taken by the Shadow Elementals this last December, have they been retrieved?” said High Mage Finnas.“No. Someone came for them, but did not manage to take them back.”“You should have destroyed them instead of taking them with you. Why didn’t you? I would have destroyed them as soon as I touched them,” said General Tobly.“All right, it’s time for me to leave. I’ve said enough,” said Coralis, getting up.“TOBLY! OUT!!” said High Fay Ellya, standing up and pointing toward the door. “We warned you many times. This is not your mission, and you do not know what you are talking about. You are dismissed for tonight.”“Elders, in all due respect, she needs to do better.”“No, Tobly, she does not. We did not let you attend this meeting to criticize what she should or should not have done,” said High Mage Fin

April 4, 2005 – 05:00 (Winnipeg Time)“Wait WHAT?? Our flat burned down? Are YOU TWO okay? I should be the one asking you that!”“We’re fine, sis, and no one in the building got injured. It was a little before seven. We aren’t sure if they wanted to capture us over The Secret Posse or if they were waiting for you, but we sensed a lot of people landing on the rooftop. We took Gus’s fixed portal to his aunt and destroyed it as soon as we passed it,” said Erik.“A little before seven? That was for me, then, considering the time difference. It was around 7:45 when we were nearly captured near Madrid’s fixed portal to Winnipeg. They probably thought I’d go to my London address next, or they wanted to take you to lure me. I’m so sorry.”“REALLY? What are you sorry for? We are sad that Frank never got to visit us there, but we’ll find somewhere else to live. It’s no big deal. When the heat goes down, we’ll go there to retrieve what was hidden behind fireproof wards,” said Erik.“I'm glad you
