This story begins in Wisconsin,

a man has been picked by the hand of God to wage war with a powerful force that is trying to take over the world, by bring a race of ruthless fairies back from exile. Many years ago the Angels came to Earth and expelled them to a distant planet, and released the souls of the sons and daughter of the Angels who came to Earth and fooled around with the humans, some hid like the blue fairy, those are the ones that exist today, the blue fairy enslaved the red fairies, and the sons and daughters of the Angels became Greek, Norse, and Egyptian, Gods it all depends on where they lived. Their children could handle the power of the fairy and became Guardians for thousands of years throughout the world.

Jack sat in the passenger seat of a rental car, with his eyes closed saying, ok let’s get this straight, I saved a green fairy, that was being attacked by blue fairies, the green fairy named Elizabeth tried to kill me, a red fairy named Nora saved me from her, come to find out the blue fairies killed my wife Ermma, that’s when I found out there are thousands of red fairies enslaved by the blue ones. I was then taken into the forest and met a unicorn named Ivan, and I killed a Bigfoot, rescued a red fairy guardian named Sara, oh yeah let’s not forget your boss Marvin the Magnificent, also known as Merlin the Great, Merek, and Albrich, who was the apprentice of Bobba-Yaga and was the dragon slayer, and I killed a blue guardian Margaret, who is going to be my mother when I regenerate, speaking of that, I am no longer a eighty three year old guy, I am around fifty I believe, and I am getting younger all the time. My job is to free the red fairies from the blues, stop the blues fairies from coming back to Earth, I guess in the past they were banished to some distant planet, I really don’t know what’s up with that. Oh yes we brought Juliet back to life, Marvin’s wife of thousands of years, I just can’t grasp how long some of you guys live, your around three thousand. Andre said you left out meeting the archangel Gabriel, the Mother Mary, and stopping the Devil himself. Jack said it has been a busy three weeks, speaking of that I should call my lawyer, or Margaret’s lawyer, tell him we found my son, Vadimar has my new life ready he is computer generating pictures of me but he needs some when I have finished regenerating, dam. Andre asked what was the dam for. Jack said oh yeah that I have to get to Nassau, you know that small island off Nassau Bahamas, Margaret owned it’s going to be mine. I have to meet that Dave Hanson guy, and Linda, that has to be done, they are of the blue fairy. Andre asked when is he flying down. Jack shook his head, today, crap I don’t have time for this, it has to be done, ah nuts what am I going to do. Andre smiled and asked ok let’s look at this, you need to fly into Nassau, so we will fly you to Nassau how long are we going to be there. Jack asked where is Elizabeth. Nora the small red fairy hopped up to the dash, she’s in the back sleeping, I’ll get her. Andre pulled onto the highway and got it up to speed, put the cruise on then looked over at Jack, who was sitting with his eyes closed. Elizabeth the green fairy flew onto the dash and asked, what can I do for you. Jack opened his eyes, oh yes, do you think I could fly at night, across a couple of hundred miles of water, without getting lost. Andre added. or without running out of power and crashing into the sea, why do you want to do that, I can fly you. Jack said the next exit take it. Nora was chatting with Elizabeth. Jack watched for a couple of seconds, then said wow my hearing is doing pretty good, I got most of that, so what do you think. The green fairy stood and looked at Jack, there is going to be three Blue Guardians, the guy and his two women, and Linda which you don’t even know her power. Jack said ok let’s look at this blue fairy guardian, what do they do, they take the fairy dust, the guardians help the fairies turning the dust into power, and keep them hidden. The blue ones help keep them hidden but they feed them just enough to keep them alive and are storing the dust to bring thousands if not millions of blue fairies back to Earth. Andre asked are you ok Jack, God himself picked you for this war, you’re not mentally losing it are you. Jack asked Elizabeth do you think I can make it, or not. The green fairy cocked her head and said, sure you are the most powerful human I know.

Andre pulled off on an exit. Jack smiled there’s a gas station let’s get some coffee, and a snack then I drive. Andre said no you don’t, that is my job. Jack smiled, you heard the Mother Mary, you are to do what I tell you, so we have plans to make. The two go inside and get their snacks and coffee, and Jack got in the drives seat. Andre asked ok what do you want me to do. Jack slowly pulling back on the highway, and asked without taking his eyes off the road, I need you to find a circus in the southern Florida, then book a flight plan, and hotel, car, you know do your thing. Andre asked why the circus. Jack said I need a reason to be in Florida. Andre leaned over and said, set your cruise at sixty five, you’ll get ran off the road at fifty two. Jack pulled up to sixty five and set the cruise. Andre smiled and said if you get pulled over you’ll have to work your magic, because you don’t look like the picture on your driver’s license. Andre sat and played with his phone then said this is it, there is a small three ring circus down by the keys, in Key Largo, their winter site, now a hotel. Jack asked Nora if she knew what a circus was. Nora fluttered to his shoulder and asked is it the same thing as in Wisconsin, and yes I have been to the great ones that came on trains, elephants, giraffes, all kinds of animals, they shot people out of cannons, ate fire, those were the times, before the blues, I traveled coast to coast, a week here a month there. Jack asked so why did you stop. She asked Jack are you feeling alright, we lost over three quarters of my colony the first time the blues attacked, and have been hiding ever since. Jack just said oh yeah.

Chapter One

To Key Largo The Circus

Andre said, well tonight we will be sleeping in a Garden Hilton on the water fifteen miles from the circus, the plane is fueled and ready, all I need is the flight plan, and that can wait for a few minutes, oh yes, the car rental, I’ll get on that. Jack was cruising along, cars were passing them constantly, you could see Andre was getting a little frustrated not being able to drive. Andre said not this exit, the next, we want to gas up before we return this thing. Jack said good I have to take a leak. Jack pulled into a gas station and up to a pump, almost jumping out of the car and quickly walked to the station. Andre gassed up the car then went into the station to find Jack standing at the counter buying a box of chicken, and a coffee. Jack turned to him and said, it’s a rental I would never eat chicken in your cars. Andre shook his head and said, come on old man we have a plane to catch. Jack smiled at the young girl and said, have the baby, take Tom to Vegas, get married he handed her a pile of cash. Andre stood at the door, when Jack got to him he asked, did you just hand that girl all of your cash. Jack smiled and said jokingly no, of course not, just fifteen hundred, she needs it. Andre shook his head, Marvin told me to start watching the cash, this project is getting expensive. Jack got into the car and smiled, then asked I thought he didn’t care about the cost. Andre said we are talking thousands, hundreds of thousands. Jack chuckled he got the bill for the trailer at the circus museum, I bet it went around fifty grand. Andre turned and looked at him, you mean you had that billed to Marvin. Jack said well of course I did, who else is going to pay for it. Andre took a deep breath then said, ok you tied Marvin to the fire, that’s not the way we do things, Marvin could have made a donation to the circus museum, though someone else, no wonder he was all pissed off. Jack said ok I get you, from now on I will ask permission. Andre said, and by the way you have to stop reading people’s minds, you don’t need to know people’s problems, that girl in the gas station would have worked it out, he pulled out his phone and texted a message. Jack asked I wish you wouldn’t text and drive. Andre smiled we have twenty minutes to get this car back, and on the runway for takeoff, so get ready we pull up to the shuttle which is sitting waiting for us. Jack asked what is the hurry you own the plane. Andre said I have a flight plan, and it is just common courtesy to be on time," he pulled up to the shuttle Jack grabbed his suitcase, and Andre grabbed his he did a quick sweep of the car and they were off.

Andre slipped the driver a fifty, and the driver drove right up to the awaiting jet. Jack got out and walked to the plane, Andre took a quick walk around, checking the tires, flaps, ect. Then he walked up to Jack, and pulled down the staircase. Jack picked up his suitcase and followed Andre up the stairs, Andre met him at the top, and said ok I should teach you how to open and close the door. Jack squeezed by him, and said it would look odd for an old man to be handling those stairs, don’t you think. Andre shot him a dirty look, then pulled up the stairs and locked the door into place, and said look into the mirror, you look younger than me. Jack took Andres suitcase and buckled it into a seat next to his. Andre was sitting in the pilot’s seat running though the check list, he said over his shoulder, if you want to take a leak do it now. Nora flew back to Jack and told him, you have to drink more water. Jack opened the small fridge and took out a bottle of water put it to his lips and pounded it. Then asked the little fairy, there are you happy. He walked into the bathroom. Andre started to roll the plane out, and taxi down to get into line for takeoff. Jack came back and slid into the copilots seat, he asked is everything a go, and is this a none stop flight. Andre smiled yes we are fourth in line, and this will be a none stop, cutting it a bit close, but we should be good, I had them filler up. Jack looked at him and asked, then why did you almost run out when you picked me up. Andre chuckled now that was different, I knew how much fuel it would take, and fuel is heavy so you don’t put more in then you need, and we burnt a lot in that takeoff, and landing. Jack asked so how long of a flight. Andre pulled up behind a jet, slowly rolling, he said as soon as we get up to cruising speed you can take a nap, it should be a five and a half hours, if I push it a bit. Jack leaned back in the seat and closed his eyes. Soon they were in the air on their way.

Andre leaned over and gave Jack a shove, hey we’re here, buckle up, were descending. Jack opened his eyes and tried to focus; he rubbed his eyes then put on his seat belt, then announced oh hell I have got to go pee. Andre said see I told you, I should have woke him a half hour ago. Jack looked over to see Elizabeth sitting on one of Andres shoulders and Nora on the other. Jack stared for a couple of seconds then said, oh boy I’m not feeling well, are we going to land on that island. The plane shook and rolled a bit as they came down, and touched the strip. Andre said hey were in Key Largo, how about some slimy oysters, oh I know some alligator. Jack smiled now that sound good, I haven’t had alligator in twenty years. Nora flew up to him holding a snickers bar with her feet, Jack took it and thanked her. Andre talked to the tower and pulled off on a small runway up to a hanger with a white Ford Explorer in front of it. Jack asked I thought you were trying to save money. Andre said screw that, it doesn’t cost that much to have the car ran out to the plane, and where am I going to find the time to fuel my own plane. Jack said well if this thing with Margaret turns out, we will never worry about money. Andre smiled as he said Marvin isn’t a poor boy let me tell you, he might act that way, but he is probably pushing a billionaire, I mean he has old money, so much of his stuff is on loan to museums. Jack got up and to the bathroom he went. Andre filled a sheet on the clipboard and then got off the plane it was a beautiful day sun shining a warm gulf wind, a man slowly walked out to meet them. Jack handed the luggage down to Andre. When the man got to them, Andre handed him a clipboard, and asked Jack if there was enough water in the mini fridge, Jack told him plenty. Andre reached into his back pocket for just a second then reached out and shook the guys hand. The man insured Andre that the plane will be ready for takeoff in a few hours, then he turned his palm up and peek at the bill that was in it.

The two towed their luggage to the SUV, Jack said I saw you slip that guy some cash. Andre said if you want good service be prepared to pay for it, you know how things get done down here. Jack chuckled were on island time, I was stationed in the Caribbean, for six months, this was my dream retirement. Andre asked so why didn’t you. Jack stopped at the Explorer, and said blankly I don’t know, got married, raised a couple of kids, but wouldn’t it have been wonderful, to retire here, just smell the salt water, there is just something about the Caribbean. Jack opened the back door, and started to put his suitcase in. Andre popped the back and pointed. Jack stopped and carried his suitcase to the back of the Ford, and asked what is the difference. Andre smiled the trunk is for the luggage we don’t need to be scratching up the interior. They got into the car and Andre said first to the hotel, then we will find the circus, can’t be hard were on a island. Five minutes they were pulling into the hotel, Andre walked up to the desk, said hi and handed her his phone, and said I would like two rooms top floor facing the gulf she looked at it and handed it back to him with a set of keys and wished him a wonderful stay. Jack walk along side of him and asked, why didn’t you ask her where the circus was. Andre said quietly she doesn’t need to know why we are here. Jack asked if we’re trying to save money, why did you get two rooms. Andre stepped into the elevator, and said with a smile, I have this feeling you are going to smell real bad when you get back to the room. Jack frowned and looked at him over his glasses, ok you have a point, I am going to regenerate, so I’ll stop doing that. Andre asked have you looked at yourself in a mirror lately, you sure wouldn’t be flying commercial, not even close to your passport. Jack smiled and said and that expired fifteen years ago. They stepped out of the elevator and walked to their room, once inside the room Jack pulled the curtains, the wall was all glass overlooking the ocean, Jack said, now this is nice, it’s safe you can come out. With that being said, Nora and Elizabeth climbed out of his pocket. Nora flew right to the window, then back again she was saying, God I love the ocean, it is so green here. Elizabeth said we should close the window things if we can see out they can see in. Jack walked over and pulled the drapes. There was a knock on the side door, Jack walked over and asked who is it. Andre asked who the hell do you think unlock the door. Jack stepped to the door and unlocked it and opened it, Andre stepped in and asked, are you ready. Jack looked at him with his jaw hanging, we just got here, I haven’t even taken a pee. Andre said keep focused, let’s do what we are here to do and move on. Jack grumbled, beautiful fricking beach, he turned and looked at Andre you know you have to stop and appreciate life, this is great. Andre held up his hand, and said we have a job to do, and I am supposed to help you, so let’s get it done. Jack took a deep breath, and walked to the bathroom. Nora flew to Andres shoulder and told him Jack has to rest, and drink more, I am supposed to feed him every couple of hours. Andre said in a surprised voice rest, that is all he does is sleep, when you get him in the car five minutes he’s sleeping, the same on the plane. Jack came out of the bathroom, I’m thinking going over all the stuff in my head, and getting rid of the stuff I don’t need, it’s like cleaning the files, hey you know I heard you from in the bathroom, my hearing is getting better, and I did look in the mirror, your right there is no way I would match my driver’s license. Nora flew up and asked Jack how many waters did you have today.

Andre said ok we are burning sunlight, let’s all go to the circus. Jack nodded his head and said, fine who’s riding where. Elizabeth flew to Andre, and Nora flew to Jack. On the way to the rental car, Andre searched for the address on his phone and punched it into the G.P.S. when they got to the car, Jack asked now what, are we going to drive around the Island looking for a circus. Andre held up his phone and said there’s a eight dollar admission, this is the end of their four thousand mile tour though the United States, there are two shows one at two, and the other at six, would you like to look at pictures. Jack just turned and looked out the window, and said to himself smart ass, he then asked can we stop for a bite. Andre said with a smile on his face, in fifteen minutes we will be there, we can have funnel cake, banana’s on a stick, big old juicy hamburgers, maybe gyro’s, oh I do miss going to the circus. Jack said pointing there’s a sign, I can see the tent over there, we are going to have to park a block away. Andre said have faith, he pulled into the field, and drove down rows of cars, then right before they got to the tent a boy was standing there, Andre drove up and held a twenty out the window, the kid stepped to the car and took the bill, walked up and moved a no parking sign, Andre pulled right in. Jack said you have to be kidding me. Andre smiled, you’re in the circus world, anything for a buck. They got out and got in line, Andre asked so what the hell are we doing here. A glazed look came over Jacks face, then he said I don’t know really, I am supposed to be looking for my son, which doesn’t exist, so what the hell are we doing here. Andre put his arm around Jacks shoulder and gave him a hug, we are here, let’s get something to eat, take in the show, then we will figure out what our next move is. They walked in and walked down a row of small tents, everyone trying to get you to play a game or to get you to see something. Jack said this way. He led them to a tent with a sign, tarot card readings, a woman stood in front, Jack walked up. She looked right past him to Andre, and she asked you are the one, I was expecting Marvin, or someone with a lot more power. Jack turned and looked at Andre and asked you know this woman. Andre blushed oh yes, I know her, then he asked so how have you been Luna. She said come in I have been waiting for you, its Ella now and who is this. Jack walked over to a small table where a deck of cards laid, he stretched his arm across it and took her hand, she looked into his eyes as and her jaw dropped, then she jerked her hand away and yelled don’t you ever do that again."

Andre smiled, and said this is Jack, the chosen one, give him a minute to analyze the information that he took from you. Ella asked so how have you been. Andre smiled, a lot better now, so how are you. Jack spoke, she is doing what she likes to do, is not in a relationship, you two have a long history, I mean back to the horse and buggy days, you two were deeply in love, but never exclusive, she wonders if Ivan is still with you, they too had a thing. Andre looked from Jack to Ella, so no man in your life. She motioned for them to sit, then she picked up the cards, and looked to Andre, no not at this time, maybe we can catch up later. She shuffled the cards then dealt them, she then looked at Jack, flipped one, it was the King of Cups, next the King of Swords, then the King of Wands, finally the King of Pentacles, she said whoa, you are a powerful man, she turned over another, you have met a powerful woman, there is death coming, more than one, there will be many here. one at home, you will take number seventeen, there will be great riches, you have a great destiny, I see love in your future. Jack asked number seventeen, what do you mean? She turned over a card and said you have to leave now. She flipped over another card and said you will travel by boat. Andre pulled out his phone and started to play with it, then slid it into his pocket she said you will go with Jack. Ella looked up to Andre cocked her head, reached over to a pile of cards flipped over a card and asked a green fairy. Jack said Lizard show yourself. Elizabeth climbed out of Andre’s jacket pocket, she fluttered to Ella. Ella put her hand over her mouth, and gasped, I haven’t seen a green fairy in hundreds of years. Jack asked really, what is so special about the green ones. Ella said, they are very rare and they have very bad tempers.

Andre slid a card to her, and said call me, we are at the Garden Hilton, I will send a car. A huge smile slide over her face. Andre stood and announced it’s time, were burning daylight. Jack reached over and shook her hand, and thanked her. Andre stepped out of the tent, he stopped and turned to Jack and asked, so what do you think of her. Jack said she can’t see far into the future, the cards have told her we were coming, let’s get something to eat before we leave. Andre said then we find you a boat. Jack asked how long do you think it would take to get to the island. Andre said well let’s ask the almighty Google, and the answer is almost two hundred miles. Jack said that’s too far to take a boat. Elizabeth yelled from Jacks pocket we’ll take a boat to a island, then fly from there, you just need to get a blue suit. Jack asked where can we find a blue green suit. Andre said ok a suit might be a little hard, but a dress should be easy. Jack looked at him then rolled his eyes, let’s just get something to eat I am starving. Andre pulled into a small strip mall, and parked near a restaurant that had a big sign jerked chicken, he said this looks quick, might even be tasty. Jack said just get me the house special, and a coffee, I’ll take a seat in the sun. Andre walked over to the window and placed the order, he turned to see Jack talking to a well dressed black man, then he took a table out in the sun. Jack just sat there staring into the ocean. Andre came up with the food, a smile rolled across Jacks face, that smells delicious. Andre sat the plates down and went and got the drinks, a coke for him and a coffee for Jack. He then asked so what did you find out from the guy you where talking to. Jack looked at him over a steaming fork full of shredded chicken and noodles, oh yes he said, to try the blue shop, or down the road there is a store called surfs up. Andre looked at Jack, he took a long pull off his straw, then said a blue green suit right, now I understand you, something to match the sea. Jack didn’t even look up he just started to shovel in the food, when the plate was empty he looked up, and commented now that was good, great seasoning, and the coffee smooth. Andre smiled that is Blue Mountain coffee, grown in Jamaica, they say it’s the best in the world.

Jack stood and said take your time, I’m going to walk over to the blue shop, three stores down. Andre said you know we are on the islands know, you can slow down, take it easy. Jack shot him a dirty look, then turned and walked quickly down the parking lot to the store. Andre said Jacks right he has a full day ahead of him, two hundred miles, well I suppose, he got up and took the plates to the garbage and headed to the blue shop, when he got there, Jack wasn’t there, he went down all four aisles no Jack in fact there was nobody in the store. Andre yelled what the hell, there was no response, he stood for a minute then pulled out his phone and dialed Jack number, he asked where the hell are you. Jack said they don’t have a suit like that but the kid that was in here said his grandpa did, so I’m at his place and it fits, I’ll be back in five minutes. Andre turned around and walked back to the restaurant to wait for Jack. Five minutes went by and Jack appeared in a suit that looked like it came from the nineteen sixty’s, but it almost fit him. Jack walked right passed Andre saying let’s go, were wasting time. Andre got up and threw away his coffee, and met Jack at the car, he asked do you know where you are going. Jack pointed three miles down the road we should be able to find a charter boat there. Andre pulled the car onto the road and said, nice suit, don’t stretch to much or you rip the back out of it. Jack said ok it’s a little tight, but it fits. Andre pulled over to a small shop along the road, and said I’ll be right back, he went into the shop and came out in two minutes holding onto a hooded sweat shirt. He got back into the car and said, this will be warmer, and you won’t look like a dork. Jack took it and said extra large this should do.

Andre pulled into the marina, it was during the week so there were a few boats still there. Jack pointed that one, number seventeen, it looks fast. Andre pulled in and parked, Jack said Elizabeth you will come with me. they got out and walked down the dock, Jack yelled ahoy there, I want to rent this boat. A man appeared from below and asked what the hell do you want, Jack held out his hand, the man’s eyes met Jacks, that’s all it took, Jack stepped on the boat and said wish me luck, oh yeah put a light in the window or something so I can tell what room is mine. Andre stood and said you be careful, and trust no one, Andre sprinted to the boat and held out his phone and said, I set the G.P.S. it’s a satellite phone, call me I’m in the contacts. The captain of the boat said time to cast off, I have enough gas to get you fifty miles out. Jack saluted Andre as they pulled away, as soon as they were on their way Jack called Linda, and asked has David Hanson, and the girls have arrived, I am on the way to Margaret’s island. The cigar boat entered the open water and the captain brought the boat to a plane, there was a light chop, but the boat was flying at around sixty miles an hour. Jack yelled to the captain who was only three feet from him, this thing really moves. The captain pointed to the fuel gauge, and said I can take you about five more miles, then we have to turn back. Jack put his hand on the captains shoulder and said that will be fine, just come to a stop before turning back. Ten minutes later the boat came to a rest, you could see ships out in the open water, cutting across the gulf. Jack stood looking out over the water, and muttered to himself, boy I don’t think this is a good idea. The captain said this is as far out as we can go. Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out his money clip, counted out five hundred dollars and handed it to the captain. Jack looked the captain in the eye and said, you will remember that same car that dropped me off picked me up, it was a nice ride nothing out of the ordinary happened, Jack pulled out the hooded sweatshirt, then slipped off his shoes and put them in the backpack he was carrying, he put on the backpack that matched his sweatshirt and pants, and said ok Lizard breath you go ahead and look for boats or islands, we don’t want to be seen. Elizabeth hopped onto Jack shoulder and asked where are we going, I know to a private island, but what island. Jack stared at her for a second then pulled out Andres phone, he turned it on and it went into Google earth, you could see Nassau, then scrolled to the west, he then pointed, that’s the one with the blue balloon over it, Jack pulled it in closer, that little dot off the chain of little dots, it’s the sixth one. He then scrolled out to see Nassau come back in view. Elizabeth said, wow that’s amazing, who is taking the pictures. Jack said satellites, hundreds of miles above us, they circle the earth watching us, that is why we have to be so careful, they say they can read a license plate, you know those signs on the front of cars with the numbers on them, ok enough of that, it’s overcast, a storm is coming, can you find the island. Elizabeth said yes I think so, the question is can you fly that far. Jack smiled as he slapped the captain on the back, get going you will remember taking me back to port and dropping me off that is it.

Jack lifted off the deck and slowly followed the green fairy who was slowly picking up speed, Jack flew to her side and said, you fly up and get your bearings, and I will stay close to the water to stay hidden. She landed on Jacks back and asked you want me to fly up and do what. Jack said fly up and see where we have to go, then come back down. Elizabeth flew straight up until Jack couldn’t see her, in a couple of minutes he felt her land on his back, she said in his ear, follow me, with that she was off Jack was right on her tail, she kept on picking up speed, but she couldn’t out run Jack, soon she was glowing a bright green, she slowed and landed on Jacks back, she walked up to his ear and said, I have to go up and look for the island, she shot straight up in a minute she was down and leading Jack across the water at a high rate of speed. They flew for five more minutes and she shot back up this time Jack watched her go up once more then back in front of him, Jack could see the islands popping up from the gulf the wind was picking up and the waves were getting higher. Elizabeth flew to Jack and asked the sixth island right. Jack nodded. Elizabeth shot up then back down turning away from a larger island then toward a smaller flat island, about three hundred acres in size, full of palm trees, and a large house on the beach. Jack caught up and said, that’s the one, climb into my pocket, and don’t let anything leave this island, they slowed, then Jack shot right to the house landing just at the water’s edge. A young girl met him, she walked up and said you’re not Margaret who the hell are you. Jack smiled and caught her eye. The young girl lashed out, in a harsh tone don’t even try that with me. Jack apologized I am sorry it’s just so much easier that way, do you have something to drink. She said one word, follow. Jack followed her till they got under the palm trees, he then asked, you have a servant, or is that your master. She turned and said with a low tone, I have no master." Jack reached up and grabbed the young girl by the shoulder she spun around with a hand full of energy. Jack caught her hand, and pulled he stared straight in her eyes, there was a bright light shinning from his eyes to hers as he pulled you could see the energy being drained from her Jack didn’t stop he kept pulling, her knees buckled, Jack dug his foot into the sand you could see the energy spreading out looking for a ground, he wouldn’t let go, her skin started to wrinkle, a older woman came running from the house, she was building a ball of energy between her hands, Jack slowed, he started to chant, a brown haze started to flow from him, it went into the jungle, and circled the house, the older woman, stood at the jungles edge and turned into stone. Jack didn’t let go he the young girl started to break down, her bones looked like there were wrapped with skin, her teeth shown as her lips shriveled, she looked like a mummy, Jack let her fall to the ground and stood over her with both hands stretched over her he pulled, soon there was nothing left, just teeth and hair, even her sun dress was gone. He walked to the house. Once inside he quietly walked to the kitchen, he stepped around a stone statue, it stood at the sink with a dish in its hand, he stepped in close and looked at it, and then took out a container from the cupboard and walked back outside.

Elizabeth said nothing has left the island. Jack scooped up three sliver balls, and looked up with a grin on his face, let’s go hunting. Elizabeth flew down to him, landing in his palm, she said kill all the blues. Jacks hand had a light green glow to it, he said yes kill all the blues. Elizabeth then asked Linda where is she. Jack took out his phone, then reached out his hand, they are on their way, we must take care of these blues. Jack said remember nothing leaves this island. Jack flew off down a trail to a small cave, he landed and stretched out his arms, and said come to me, it sounded like popcorn there was blue light flowing from the trees, blue light shooting off out of the jungle into the sky, then a streak of green light, chasing and popping them. Jack walked into the cave, there was thousands of red fairies, Jack stepped in and said you are free, come outside and into the sunlight, Jack looked down he was standing in bat droppings, he wiggled his toes. A red fairy flew to him, Jack said I have much to do, the blue fairies, and there guardians are died, everything that has to do with fairies must be taking off this island. With that he turned around and walked out, as soon as he hit the entrance, he flew to the water’s edge and washed off his feet, then walked to the house. He walked in and went to the fridge and grabbed a water and chugged it then he took out a coke, walked to the porch and sat. Elizabeth flew in at top speed landing on his arm, she looked up and said there coming. Jack said yes I know. Elizabeth then asked, how did it go. Jack took a swig of coke, it went, I want you to take charge of the clean up, nothing fairy shall stay on this island, I want it clean. Elizabeth snapped him a salute, then said with authority, you heard the man, let’s start gathering up all that is fairy, I want it piled on the porch, now. Jack stood and said in a flat voice, how far. Elizabeth hopped to his shoulder, and said as far as it was from the boat to here, do you. Jack cut her off, no there is nothing you can do, you get those reds to clean up this place put it in something, just do whatever you have to do. With that Jack flew off within a minute Elizabeth couldn’t see him.

Jack came up to the boat and landed, all three looked at him Jack said sleep and the three girls, that had been hypnotized before bowed their heads, Jack said hello he reached out his hand, Dave took it and Jack started to pull, the motor slowed then died, he then reached over the side and shot a stream of power into the water grounding out David Jack kept pulling power you could see a silver sheen come to Dave’s skin as Jack chanted and pulled the unicorn blood out of him, this took a while, it looked like sliver droplets rolling to Jacks hand, when that was done he pulled, the rest of the energy from David leaving him dead on the deck. Jack then stepped over to Linda and put his hand on her forehead, her legs buckled and she fell to the deck, he did this to the other two. He walked down into the galley, took out a beer from the refrigerator, and started to rummage though the cabin, he stepped into the head and took a leak. He started to climb the steps in the center of the boat and shot a stream of bright light into the deck down to the gas tank, the diesel burst into flames, soon the fiberglass was a blaze, a black smoke filled the air, you could see it from miles away.

Jack flew fast across the water almost touching, back to the island. He landed right at the beach and walked to the house. Elizabeth met him with a coke, she was gripping it with her feet. Jack took it and asked is everything ready. Elizabeth said I don’t know what you’re going to do with all this stuff, there’s piles of it, pounds and pounds of dust. Jack looked at the porch and it was stacked with a pickup load of bags and boxes, Jack took a long pull off his coke, then said ah nuts, where can we hide this stuff. A rusty red fairy flew up, and sheepishly said ah sir, there is a good hiding spot on the next island, a pirate cash, there are chests of gold that have been there for hundreds of years. Jack said that’s it then we wait till night then move everything there, all the people that where turned to stone, aw crap what to do with those guys. Jack walked over to the edge of the yard and looked at a statue, he reached out and touched it lightly mumbled a phrase and it crumbled into sand. Jack smiled, and said Elizabeth send out your fairies and find every person that was turned to stone, I will turn them into sand. Jack then walked to the house, he stepped into the kitchen and touched the statue of a woman doing dishes, she crumbled into a pile of sand. The next half hour he was led around the island, there were statues in all different positions. He went back to the porch sat down then leaned back and said Wake me before dusk, Elizabeth you teach the red fairies how to defend themselves, he closed his eyes, and his breathing slowed, looked like he was dead. Elizabeth took a small bag of fairy dust, and flew into the jungle, where hundreds of fairies were just laying around, she ripped the corner off the bag and poured it on a tree trunk that was laying there, she said, eat we are going to go over everything I told you before, and we will have a question and answer, the sun is going down so let’s get started. Elizabeth went over how to kill a blue, now it must be a body shot, cut off a arm, leg or head, chopping off their hands, feet, or wings will not kill them. She showed them how to string wire traps, and told them about the wasp spray. Then she opened it to questions, They all asked about Jack, one asked did he kill all thirteen guardians. Elizabeth flew to her and asked, what thirteen guardians, there was two on the island, Margaret was the third, David was four, the girls where lesser guardian so there shouldn’t count. The fairy bowed his head, and got down on one knee, he apologized I’m sorry I should not have asked you that. Elizabeth fluttered to him and put her hand on his head, silence took over hundreds of fairies not one move, or said a thing. Elizabeth said rise and tell me of these others. A group sigh came from the trees, Elizabeth looked around, she knew the greens had a bad reputation, and she could have absorbed this old fairies energy, or ripped off his wings for speaking. The fairy looked at her then lower his head, and said once a year thirteen guardians come and have a meeting, they dine, and drink, no one knows what they talk about. Elizabeth said, now remember, this is defense, learn to hide your power so you can hide, you can’t out run them, now the strong flyers come with me, Elizabeth flew slowly down the path, to the beach house where Jack sat, motionless in the chair, she landed on his shoulder. She then walked to his ear and said softly, Jack its time, wake up. Jack slowly opened his eyes, and said dam she was one wicked broad. He looked down to see Elizabeth giving orders, the whole pile was filled with fairies, they were taking the bags and boxes from the pile. Jack rose from the chair, he grabbed his back. Elizabeth flew to him are you ok. Jack said these Adirondack chairs aren’t that comfortable, now wait, there are a few things I want, he took a large Ziploc bag from the pile, and a glass tube with liquid silver in it, a large leather bound book, he pointed to a couple of fairies that where hovering with a box, they flew to him, and sat the box on the chair, Jack reached in and took out a unicorn horn, and a brown envelope. Jack then said, you’re in charge. Elizabeth flew around barking orders, Jack took his stuff and put it into his backpack and lifted off to follow the line of fairies, to the nearby island. Jack flew up where the fairies where trying to move a rock, some with smaller packages could squeeze though. Jack landed in front of the rock. A old fairy said, when the tide is low you can get in, the entrance is underwater most of the time. Jack heard Elizabeth say watch this. Jack raised one hand and the rock rose into the air, he said quickly put everything inside, and grab me a few of those gold coins. The fairies all flew in, and where carrying gold on their way out. Jack asked is everyone out. Then he place the rock back into its spot, and turned when we leave, I want every foot print swept down I don’t want anyone to know we have been here, and nobody is to come back here. Jack started to pick up all the gold coins, he said this is a lot of weight, is there much more. A red fairy said three chests and one of jewelry, swords, casts of rum."

Jack gave a whistle ok we will be off then, I will return to collect the stuff, I thank you all for your help. With that he shot up through the trees, and pulled out Andres phone who had already entered the hotels address in it. Jack said Lizard breath climb on, and hang on. Jack shot though the air a couple of hundred feet above the water, in about a half hour they could see the coast line, he slowed and took the phone out of his pocket and looked at the GPS he turned up the coast and dropped down to water level skimming the gulf at a hundred miles an hour he flew to the beach and called Andre, he asked hey would you flash a light, so I know what room. Then a light flashed on then off three times Jack walked to the hotel and shot up to the balcony. Andre stood there waiting for him. Jack landed and handed Andre the backpack, Andre said wow this thing must weight a hundred pounds. Jack then asked the tarot card reader is she here. She stepped into the doorway, and her hand went right to her nose, she gasped oh my God. Andre said now you know what I have to deal with, whenever he uses his powers he excretes this brown slim then he slowly shut the glass door and said I’ll open your door, shower then come over and talk to us. Jack folded his arms, and stared through the window soon Andre slid the balcony door open on the next room, he was about to yell to Jack, but Jack flew around the beam to and landed next to Andre. He said don’t touch anything, straight into the shower throw everything away. Jack asked could you get me something to eat. Andre said sure no problem, would you like a drink. Jack just nodded his head. Nora flew into the bathroom before him, she turned on the lights and exhaust, Elizabeth flew out of his shirt to Nora, Nora said you smell like Jack, wow are you ripe. Nora flew to the sink and pulled the lever, so it slowly flowed. Andre followed Jack into the bathroom and handed him a garbage bag he had hanging out of his back pocket, he asked so how did it go. Jack blankly looked at him then said the mission was a success. Jack took off his shirt you could see where the collar rubbed against his skin, there was a white mark in the Carmel color. Everything went into the bag he took out his driver’s license and cash, and credit cards from his wallet, and threw that away also. Andre went back to his room where his date was waiting for him, she asked does that happen every time, I can still smell him. Andre said I’ll take a shower, with a smile on his face he asked order some drinks and a snack. Jack got out first walked into Andres room and seen the two of them drinking wine, and chatting, he apologized. Andre said come on in, you’re not interrupting, just catching up. Jack stepped in and asked did you order food. Andre blurted oh, I forgot, and wrinkled up his nose, it smells in here. Ella said it’s on the way. Andre looked to Ella the tarot card reader, and said the backpack. Jack asked do you have another bag. Andre got up and grabbed a bag out of his suitcase, and tossed it to Jack. Andre asked, so what’s in the backpack that is so heavy. Jack stopped for a moment and said a book, ten pounds of dust, some weird bags of stuff, just a bunch of crap taken from the room the book was in, Boris can figure it out. Jack picked up the backpack, said more to himself man this thing is heavy, oh yes the gold, he then placed it into the bag. Andre was on the phone checking on the pizza. Jack walked up and said I have changed my mind I would like a drink, make it a vodka gimlet. Ella walked up with a huge smile on her face, she held out a glass of champagne, the best in the house. He thanked her for it, took it and tasted it then slammed it, he asked do you cut hair. She smiled I do a lot of things. Andre looked over and said, and she does them well. Jack walked into his room, he turned to see if the tarot card reader was following, she was,

Jack stopped at the suitcase and took out a scissors, he held them out for her, and said my name is Jack, we haven’t been introduced. She smiled I know who you are, we met at the circus, I am Ella, now sit in the chair let’s see if we can get this hair cut before the pizza gets here. Jack said I hope he ordered two. Andre just stepped in the room, he spun around and headed back to his room. Ella said I think he’s doing that now. Nora flew to Jacks lap, she looked up at him and said, I don’t know what you guys did, but it sure did Elizabeth in, she’s fast asleep. Jack chuckled, she even road back, that was two hundred miles, it went by pretty fast on the way back, of course we flew over the islands instead of around them, so it was closer. Ella combing and cutting his hair said, two hundred miles. Jack said yeah it was a small island, beautiful house, we’ll have to go there on vacation someday, I think I own it.

Andre came in talking on his cell phone, he handed it to Jack, it’s Marvin. Ella took it said cheerfully said Marvin baby, Ella here, your favorite card reader, nope just finishing up, a week, California sure, ok in a couple of weeks. She handed the phone to Jack, and said the old man always liked me. Jack took the phone and talked code, everything is good here, meet the crew, there gone now, nope no drama, a couple I never met before, don’t trust her, ok see you soon. Andre asked ok what’s up. Jack stood still and said something is up, he didn’t say but you could just feel it. Ella said done, what do you think. Jack got up and dusted off some hair, he walked into the bathroom to look at himself in the mirror, he said well done. He turned to see Andre on all fours putting Jacks hair into a bag, he said more to himself then anyone, leave no trace that you where here. Ella rolled her eyes, and said he’s been with that old fart to long. Andre said "you have
