(Rose)
We’re on our way back ho, quite happy from our ti spent with our new friends.
As soon as we have a fast flying ship, we’ll be able to visit our older friend left in England.
We’re not that lonely nor alone though.
And there is still so much to learn. What were these warehouses filled with evenly dispersed computers I’ve seen a few tis? I forgot to ask.
Bleue holds onto her ring a little stronger than usual. She’s fidgety.
I noticed sothing sipping through and enveloping her like a silk scarf. For a mont I thought she was trying to summon sothing.
Not quite that. But she is using magic. She offers to take her hand and I accept.
She holds tight, and we lift off suddenly as her wings flap. We’re pushed into the air as if thrown suddenly.

Bleue wished to fly. The power left in that ring made it possible and occur.
It’s magic.
As magic as pictures that can change on a glass screen, over and over as you wish it.
Bleue and I discuss it again once in a while as we’re in flight back ho.
The true nature of things, seen through scientific thod and mathematics.
B - I truly believe you should be embracing it. I’m the one who dream of fairies. You, you often tend to keep a rational thinking.
R - I do?
B - More than you realise.
R - I don’t know... I... I like the world, or to see the world, as a place overflowing with mysteries and magic. Understanding the true nature of it, I’m afraid, really, that it would spoil all my pleasures of life.
Bleue thinks about it as we fly and glide easily.
Our weight is lower thanks to the ring, so she can carry us both with her wings, and we can hold ourselves without losing all strength in our arms.
B - You’ll think about it as ti goes and reconsider it another day. It’s alright.
I’m scared at first, but I could end up on the other side again, changing my mind completely.
Learning about T.I probably shouldn’t change much how I live and feel.
But I am afraid. And Bleue is right in her way. I can take my ti.
We glide above a verdant land.
It’s full of air we can’t see, heavy enough to sail over it with wings.
It’s fill of microscopic organisms we can’t see that make everything live or die.
It’s full of natural radioactivity we can’t see that can feed or destroy everything.
It’s full of electrical forces we can’t see that I can’t even begin to summarise.
And finally, it’s also full of T.I forces we can’t see, and that I can’t quite grasp either.
Electricity I know gave incredible technologies. Nuclear energy gave incredible power.
T.I could be so much more, I’m a little scared.

We see waves of glowing orange clouds propagate above the trees, brushing them.
They’re actually glowing insects or microbes, carried over by the winds in large swarms.
The flows of air disperse them in the shapes of outlines for aquatic waves.
Brushstrokes of gold moving silently over the land.
From the few things I understood over the last intense few days of teaching, electricity is also the binding force that keeps everything in existence together. Real electricity. The one I know from thunder would just be the occasional macroscopic side effect of a reality at smaller scales.
Electricity holds everything. T.I tweaked that later on a sudden day.
Both these primordial forces shaped the nature of the world as we know it, including these glowing waves flowing above the forest.
This is just nature. Just the world I like. Nothing will probably change much once I learn more.
We see Ana flying ahead, cawing happily. It’s a very different sound from her unhappy caw, I can tell.
I’ve learnt her language a little, and I even caw back, still holding onto Bleue.
Ana is amused by my reply in her own tongue and cos to fly closer, cawing more chirpily.
I caw even more and better.
Bleue laughs.
The land sparkles with colours and nice sounds.
The wind rushing through the trees, brushing my ears.
The singing of Ana is sweet too in its own way, as it’s the voice of a good friend. Family even in a way.
Bleue’s wings flapping regularly.
And my own thoughts, currently in turmoil around the door of knowledge to T.I. What could lie behind?
I’m falling asleep to this myriad of nice sounds and feelings. I’m dozing off, happy.
It’s nice lately. I’ve made really fascinating discoveries lately.
And there are nice songs surrounding entirely.
~
Knowledge is power, in so many ways.
Up to life and death situations.
Despite my fears and reluctance, I should learn. Everything I can.
I could still feel Bleue holding onto as I dozed off in that lull. But everything else around was shrouded in night.
As long as I wish to live on the roads, I should try to learn more about the world.
I’m in turmoil...
Maybe the lot that happened over the last month or so has taken its toll on .
I’m tired.
Still, it is a nice lull surrounding right now.
