Trey Xyla Lu
Tuesday, in Trey's office at Magick School ...
TREY:
… but we've already been to the elvin lands.I thought we gathered
enough material to understand their magic.
XYLA:
There's much more to learn. A ancient cave has been
discovered Trey, and it's time to return …
Suddenly the door busts open …
TREY:
Louisa, didn’t I teach you to knock before entering a room?
LU:
But this is urgent daddy. I've lost Harmonia.
TREY:
What do you mean you've lost Harmonia?
LU:
What do you mean, what do I mean? You know what I mean.
I stated it as plainly as possible. She's missing.
XYLA:
Your eldest daughter is way too powerful
to be on the loose. We must find her, and quickly.
TREY:
Let's not over-react. Keep in mind that most of the time my Harmonia
doesn't remember she possesses any magic at all.
LU:
My sister is unaware of her powers 92.17% of the time.
XYLA:
And that's what makes her so dangerous.
TREY:
Lu, you were supposed to be keeping an eye on her.
How could this happen?
LU:
You asked for my assistance with your library, therefore limiting
my free time. Then you had me move into your girlfriend's home, putting
1265.4 miles between Harm and me. I tried to warn you but ...
TREY:
Yes I know, but I was hoping she'd finally outgrown these episodes.
XYLA:
Remember when we couldn't locate her for almost 30 years?
LU:
29 years, 7 months, 14 days and 8 hours.
Would you like to know the minutes?
TREY:
We never did find out where she was. She kept insisting she'd
been on holiday in heaven with the angels.
XYLA:
I'll begin a search for her magical aura.
LU:
And I'll continue contacting my sources.
XYLA:
When I find her trail, you'll hear from me.
- POOF -
LU:
This is partly your fault daddy. Xyla would be 87.16% more successful
looking after Harm than me. Why not have her to do it?
TREY:
You know I can't tell her what to do. She's too powerful,
besides she and I go way back and she's very set in her ways.
LU:
Yes I know. She saved your life 336 years ago and
placed you under a youth spell, blah blah blah,
long story short - she's the boss.
TREY:
No she's not. I just prefer to let her think she is. She saved me all
those years ago because of our common interest in magic
-researching and presevering it. And since you benefit from her
youth spell too, you shouldn't complain. Xyla will find your sister.
LU:
I know she will. Then what?
TREY:
Perhaps you could talk her into moving here? Do you think she'd agree?
LU:
Shall I calculate the possibilities for you?
TREY:
A simple yes or no would do.
LU:
The chances for a positive outcome would greatly improve
if Tahariel were here too.
TREY:
Tahariel?
LU:
Harm's oldest, your grand daughter – remember?
Oh daddy I know there are many for you to keep track of ...
TREY:
Very funny. You mean Hari, of course I remember her.
Contact her and see how she feels about it.
