#7 of a tail of magic and mystery
Chapter seven
After the invasion of North Korea, The United Nations really give the South Koreans hell and want to know what happened during the invasion of the north. They crack and give my name and point to the American ambassador. From there the United Nations is informed of a new weapon.
A week after leaving Korea, we are headed for New York and speak to the entire United Nations Assembly.
"Fellow people of the Earth, I come forward to offer my services for the greater good of mankind. I have created miracles that can not be easily explained. Me and my children are here to help. We can be reached through the American ambassador."
We leave New York after visiting some areas of it. We return to the secret location and get inventing.
I go out and buy myself a cell phone and place a spell on it so I get world wide coverage regardless of if there is a tower there or not. I also adapt the spell of perpetual motion to an automobile engine. The vehicle can run forever without a drop of fuel. After demonstrating it to the government, they get very interested. They ask me how much would it cost to convert the fleet of conventional vehicles and gas turbine vehicles. I tell them it takes time to even cast the spell. I say it would be about 500 dollars a vehicle and a week to affect an area the size of the United States, less time if the country is smaller. So I cast the spell after receiving payment of several million dollars. It takes a week for the spell to come to focus. During that week I focus on the spell, eat one meal a day and sleep. Alice is self sufficient at nine, she casts spells to feed me, herself and Michael. After casting the first spells in the United States, we are moved to another country, then another country and finally after about 4 months, Every United States Military vehicle has been converted to run on magic. Including ships, tanks and helicopters.
Once the other nations hear about this, they want in on this and with a donation of more money, I get in on the act.
After a year of casting spells and visiting many countries. Every countries' military vehicles that is allied with the United States is fully powered by magic. Then I am tasked with the propulsion of a jet aircraft. First I get a military training jet aircraft to test magic theory. I test if unconventional fuels (Like hydrogen) could be used and it fails. Why you ask, they would have to convert the conventional engine into a rocket. And that is not feasible. So I put magical energies to increase thrust in reaction to the throttle being pulled. And it works. I succeed at making an aircraft move without fuel and it is virtually silent with unlimited range. I go back on tour making aircraft magically powered (At a thousand a pop.) And with that the price of gasoline and jet fuel drops by fifty percent
When the people hear what caused the price of gasoline and air fares to drop, first letters come into the Department of Transportation, then wishes through my website, and finally demands to the White House that they have access to the technology that powers the military. I finally get asked by the new President to go ahead with the spell, I add a few things to the commercial version of the spell. One, I add anti-theft protection on board, so the only ones to take your car is those you authorize and those who repossess your vehicle. And the second thing is the anti drunk driver system, where your vehicle goes nowhere if you are legally drunk or under the influence of alcohol. And I am back on the road.
One stop is the Vatican, where they have heard of my many miracles and me and my children are given an audience with the Pope.
"So Alex, what can you do?"
"What can't I do? I have done things that have been described as miracles."
"Can you recreate the miracles as seen in the Bible."
"Name one."
"Can you walk on water?"
"I've never tried, let us try to find a body of water and try."
We go out to the fountain that is nearby and I measure the depth. I begin by rolling up my pants legs. Alice and Michael while wearing shorts watch as mold the spell and minutes later cast the same spell. I take one step onto the water and float on top of the water while standing up. Alice and Michael take one step onto the water and float. The Pope was impressed.
"Can you make water into wine?"
I tell Alice and Michael not to cast this spell until they are 21. I am given a cup of water and I mold the spell and change it to red wine. The wine is tasted and they are really impressed.
"What about healing the sick?"
"There are people that have seen me do our work."
They aren't impressed by my words but take it at face value.
The pope falls to his knees.
"Truly, you are the son of god."
"I am the son of a man given powers by a god like being."
Then I explain how I received my powers. And that I am not going around claiming to be Jesus Christ.
After meeting with the pope, I continue casting spells.
After casting the last spell for a while, I return home to some peace and quiet. Alice has just turned 11. And I have noticed Alice and Michael sneaking off into the bedroom to be alone. I allow it to happen the first few times, then I get curious. The next time the head for the bedroom, I cast Secret eyes. Which creates a set of eyes that can see anything anywhere. After I cast that spell I get a shock, I see Alice and Michael, their shorts and underwear pulled down to their ankles and they are playing with each others anatomy. I watch as the two kids finger each other and Alice climbs the steps to heaven and returns to Earth.
After that display, I go and knock on the door. I hear shuffling and then the door opens.
"Come here, you two. We have to talk."
Alice and Michael head for the couch and sit down.
"Alice, Michael, I know what you two have been up to."
They are shocked.
"And I am not upset at all. You two are growing up. Alice, you are going to think about babies, Michael, you are going to think about making babies."
"Yes, Daddy."
"You both know the birds and the bees so I won't have to repeat it. I just want to know what you intend to do if Alice becomes pregnant, Michael."
"I haven't thought about that, Daddy."
"When you are older, you should think about that."
"Daddy, I haven't been feeling right the last few days."
"Come into the bedroom and lie down and I will check you out."
We come into the bedroom and I get Alice to lay down on the bed. I cast a spell that allows me to check Alice and ask her several questions.
"Are you hurt anywhere?"
"No, Daddy."
"Where is it originating, this feeling?"
"In my tummy."
I check out her stomach, intestines, liver, and the other internal organs, leaving the reproductive organs last.
When I get to the reproductive organs, I get a shock. Right at the top of the uterus is an egg cell waiting for fertilization. I read up on pet rabbits, they are induced ovulaters, which means when they have sex they get pregnant, Mopsy must have used the human model of timed ovulation.
"Alice, that feeling is telling you that it is time to have a baby."
"Oh boy. I always wanted to have a baby."
"Hold on a minute. Just because your body is ready for a baby, doesn't mean you can have one."
"Why not, Daddy?"
"One thing is you are too little to deliver a baby."
"I am not too little."
I create a newborn human baby (Phantasm spell) to show what comes out of new mommies.
"That has to come out of you, one way or another. It comes out the normal way or it is cut out. And you are too little for it to come out the normal way."
"But I want a baby now."
"I'll make a deal with you, You care for the human baby I just created for a week. That means feeding the baby, cleaning the baby, and putting the baby to sleep. If you last the week, I will create you a bunny baby of your own to keep. And Daddy will help in the beginning just to show you the ropes"
"You got a deal, Daddy."
And to punctuate the deal, the baby cries.
"I think someone is hungry."
Alice being a new mommy, picks up and cradles the baby and I create a bottle of formula. Alice feeds the formula to the baby. After feeding comes the cleanup. I create a diaper, butt wipes and ointment to care for the baby.
Alice comments, "How can such a big mess come out of that tiny baby." The baby is cleaned and ointment is rubbed into the skin. Alice puts the diaper on the baby and we rest.
"That was easy, Daddy."
"Wait till the middle of the night."
And the fun begins at midnight, three am, and six am. Alice puts up a little resistance to getting up and caring for the baby, but Alice and Michael both care for the baby. During the day, Alice and Michael take turns changing and feeding the baby. But finally the week ends and things can get back to normal. (Or so I think)
"Daddy, we passed your test. When are you going to make our new sibling?"
"Daddy has to find a baby rabbit that is the right age first."
I make a few calls to pet stores and get their information on the breeders. I then call the breeders to ask them what they do with excess baby rabbits from single mothers. Most say they kill them but one says that they foster them to other mothers with less kits. I make an offer to that breeder. 1000 dollars for a live newborn rabbit for research purposes. She takes me up on the offer.
Every day, Alice and Michael ask when their new sibling is going to be there. I tell them when I hear from the breeder.
Finally, two weeks later, I get the call. The three of us head out for the farm and I inspect the facilities. I find them satisfactory.
The owner of the farm asks "What we are going to do with the newborn rabbit?" as I hand him his money in cash.
"The children want to see a baby close up."
When we leave to go to the car with a hope to do business with you again soon. I start to mold the spells together.
I get Alice to place the baby rabbit on the car seat as I form the spells. The rabbit starts to change. It takes less time to form the child as I am not adding the knowledge spell. (I will cast that spell when the child is 2 years old.)
When the spell is finished, I have a newborn baby rabbit laying face down on the seat. I pick up the baby and roll it over and notice it is a female.
"Alice, Michael, meet your new sister. I think her name should be Jessica."
Alice and Michael get a closer look on their new sibling. The baby has little fur on her.
Alice says, "Can I hold her?"
"Sure, you can hold her, after I diaper her."
I put a diaper on the baby and pick up little Jessica and put her into Alice's arms.
"Welcome to the world, Jessica."
"I want to hold her, next, Daddy."
I pick up Jessica and slowly hand her to Michael.
"Welcome to the world, my baby sister."
Just then the baby starts to cry.
I pick up Jessica and create a bottle of formula and start to feed the baby. The baby finishes the bottle in time. I then create a baby restraint system and fasten it to the car seat, then place Jessica into that seat. The kids then climb in and we head for home.
The Government is not happy with me making more hybrids, unsupervised. General John Maxwell who replaced General Michael White, yells at me for doing it. I calmly tell him what I think he could do with his rules and regulations. And I leave the room.
Over the next two years, Jessica does what babies do best. Eat, sleep, poop, and play. She grows at the equivalent of a human child. At two years of age, I cast the knowledge spell and it makes potty training easier.
When Jessica is three, I get a visit from the Drug Enforcement Agency. They make me an offer. They want the flow of drugs to stop that enter this country. I give them two layers of protection. One is that current supplies will disappear along with the money that is used to buy it. And the second is a taking out the source. They agree and I am off.
Daddy is off to fight another war, this time it is the war on drugs. First he cast the spell in the continental United States, then he went to Alaska, then Hawaii. I worry for him but I have a job to do. I am old enough to care for Michael and Jessica alone. The first night alone I had gotten Jessica to bed and Michael is watching a little television and using Maggie to surf the net. When all of a sudden, there is a flash of light outside the front windows. It is someone setting off explosives at our doorstep. Thank goodness Daddy placed a permanent protection field that will deny them from harming us. The fire dies down as the fuel is spent and we get back to business as normal and we head for bed.
I get updates from Daddy during his trip. The next stops are South America, Europe, Afghanistan and South East Asia. When Daddy returns he contacts the DEA and says that he has a large amount of currency that he wants to deposit.
As per agreement, I ask to keep any cash I confiscate, tax free. It takes a month to count all the cash and confirm all the wire transfers. In the end I count over one trillion dollars in cash and transfers. Making me one of the richest men in the world
Alice tells me what happened during my trip and I am a little worried about the kids getting hurt. I tell the government that I am going to move. I make a few calls and get a hold of a nice gentlemen in Canada. He specializes in selling private islands. I find a island in Hawaii that just went on the market. Nice and big, has everything a person would need, electrical generators, water purification systems and desalination systems. And helicopter landing systems big enough for a Chinook helicopter. After looking over the site, I purchase the island, paying a half a billion dollars.
The first thing I do is connect to telephone and Internet systems on the nearby island. (And I get an unlisted number). Then the move starts. Everything we have is packed into a cargo container except a vehicle and the container is driven to the cargo docks, where it is loaded on a ship to Hawaii.
We then take a military aircraft to the closest airbase. And we are flown to our new home.
