Series - The Leira Chronicles

IN REVIEW

Chapter 1

Eireka and Leira sit in patio, talking about Mara- having felt her, seen her briefly. They decide to both look for Mara and to get her out of the in between world, working together. And they’d need help! Correk comes home, sits with them, hears Leira starting to call full humans “normies.” He reminds her that they are still her kind, too, as she is part human. Estelle calls for breakfast, all go in to eat, including Yumfuck. (Correk beginning to speculate about Estelle – wondering just what she knows- As the three speak, they all realize that each has their own private concerns, Correk upset over the two of them delving into the in between world, and forces they don’t understand (as well as having a personal reaction about gnomes that Leira doesn’t understand), Eireka about her Mother being there for so long (she refuses to accept that it is impossible to handle) , and Leira about having another person to care and worry about, as well as the ghost that was with Mara when she was seen for a moment. They are all upset about trying to do the magically impossible. And Yumfuck is ALWAYS concerned about where his next meal is coming from ! Correk’s advice – find a Willen who might be able to clear up many questions (for a massive bribe – of what?) Will go to Hilldale, nearest kemana, and find the right willen to bribe. (See Miscellaneous: Clues to Mara’s Rescue) Leira gets a call from the General, and can’t go. Correk and Eireka will go, with Yumfuck. Will give Eireka a chance to be reintroduced to Earth.

Chapter 2

Case #1, Mara'a Case

As she rushed to this, her first case from General Anderson, she realized that she would be expected to use magic to solve it. Meets Alan Cohen and Jeff Fischer, her new partners. Cohen driving, more friendly. Fischer tries to give her guff, she sends magic at him, he backs off. Got PDA jacket. Follow energy trail into house, find body of 20 year-old girl, Casey. Witness in a drug case, due to testify the next day. Bruise in her shoulder, she had been restrained, but with something soft. Looked up, saw gray swirling mist, an opening into the world in between. Mist envelops Leira. She calls to Casey, girl appears, comes closer. Leira asks who did this, and Casey responds with memories, showing her Perry Jones, a balding man, wearing round-rimmed spectacles. He looked surprisingly small but was freakishly strong. And angry. Not his first kill. She could feel it from the inside. She gasped as the gun fired off a shot at Casey. Dark menace started to pull her inside. Already had Casey. Almost got Leira, but her grandmother added her strength to Leira’s, and Cohen pulling her back into the room, won out. Leira not taken.

Driving home, Leira review “feel” of magic of menace, not one thing, but a mass, a band of “baddies” in the in between. As she is thinking about everything, surrounded by blinding white light and meets Light Elf Turner Underwood, over 1000 years old, know as “The Fixer”. Looking for someone to take his place, so he can retire. But, not ready yet. Too much to learn. "You insist on playing by the rules that you know." "That will not work here!.” I sense a strong force is unleashed among us again. An unfriendly sort. There may be some harder days ahead for you, my dear Leira. But occasionally take a look around, a real look around and notice how many of our kind are passing right by you. You may need all of us some day, Agent Berens. You take care of yourself. I'll find you when the time is right. Just remember, if I could see you, then others might as well. Good day."


CORREK AND EIREKA, SHOPPING

Capters 3, 4, 5

Correk and Eireka, stuck in the house all day, decide to go see the sights. Take Yumfuck, who has not been feeling well all day (because of Leira’s bad case, he’s been almost emotionally pulled from her, felt almost unbonded). Buy cowboy boots for all of them (four pair) Eireka wants cupcakes, so they buy them on the way home. She decides to try to do everything she hasn’t been able to. Go past The Continental Club, Redd Volkaert. ? She has to hear him again, after 30 years. So she does.. Lots of Oricerans in the crowd. Yumfuck puts on a show, Correk rescues him, to claps and groans. They leave, to find the next adventure. Leira gets home, finds them both transforming into other beings. Correk and she unpack dinner in the kitchen. Leira tells him about her case, Correk really upset, as she has done the impossible- set foot into the in between and come back. He’s worried, because he’s not sure he can keep her safe on Earth. She tells him about Underwood, he’s shocked. Eireka came into the kitchen, and she told them all.
