Chapter fifteen

After the Cuba incident, I am told by the United Nations to report what I am going to do to the Embassy of the country I am going to enter.

I get a visit from the congressman from Hawaii as a friendly visit.

After a little small talk he gets down to business.

"We were wondering why you don't design weapons, just modify them to stun subjects."

"I don't want blood on my hands from something I designed."

"I understand. There must be something that you have thought of for that reason."

"There is," I create a small metal sphere with no seams. "Inside this sphere is the most powerful explosive know to man. If opened, it would cause the same damage as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic devices dropped at the same time." I make the sphere disappear.

The color of the congressman's face drains out of him.

"And that is the reason I don't design weapons."

The congressman makes a hasty retreat.

One night I am awakened by a bad dream. This dream is so bad I can't get back to sleep. Maggy notices me awake.

"What is wrong, Master."

"Bad dream."

"Tell me about it."

"I was sitting on a park bench watching my children play then suddenly there was a big flash of light and a mushroom cloud and the shock wave comes closer. I watch as it hits my children and they vaporize. Then I am hit and I wake up."

"Sounds to me you had a prophetic dream."

I recognize that voice.

"Mopsy, is that you?"

She appears.

"Yes, it is."

We hug.

"What brings you here?"

"That dream of yours, It almost came true last night."

"What do you mean?"

"Russia almost launched their nuclear missiles after mistaking a satellite launch."

"What do you want me to do about it?"

"Whatever you want. Short of starting a nuclear war."

"Thank you, Mopsy."

I make up the plan as I go along but it is simple. Get rid of the nuclear bombs.

"Maggy, what is the President's schedule for the next month."

I get a readout of the President's schedule.

And I find it, The President of the United States and the President of the Soviet Republic is meeting in two weeks.

The time on the East coast is about 9 AM so I get Maggy to make the phone call to the US President and get the ball rolling. And I get back to sleep.

Two weeks later, I am with both Presidents and they both ask me what I want.

"I want to end Nuclear proliferation in the world."

"And how do you think you are going to do that?"

"By making you an offer you both can't refuse. I know the Soviet economy isn't what it used to be. I plan to counter that. How would you like to turn those useless weapons and nuclear waste that is gathering dust in those silos and storage bins into something useful, like gold and platinum."

"That is impossible. You can't change lead to gold."

"I can." I pull out a pair of brick. "I have here a pair of one pound lead bricks. And with a small spell."

I cast the spell causing the bricks to float into the air and glow. After a minute, the spell ends.

"I can do this to the entire weapons arsenal."

"And what do you expect to happen if we don't choose your plan?"

"First the Soviet President will mistake a launch of a weather satellite as a nuclear missile. In a rash decision, he will launch his missiles at anyone. As soon as he launches, the US will retaliate. Fifty percent of the missiles will hit the US and all will hit the Soviets, destroying Washington D. C. and Moscow."

The Soviet President asks for a week to think it over and The US President pulls me over an informs me of other nuclear nations, China, France, The United Kingdom, Pakistan and India.

I tell him not to worry, I have a plan to stop them.

A week later, the Soviets decide to take me up on my offer, the Americans say they will accept nuclear waste only until China's nuclear weapons program ends.

I begin to negotiate with the Chinese with the most of the family with me. Alice, Angela and Janice decide to stay behind to run the business.

The Chinese are intrigued by my offer and after two weeks of negotiations they come up with an offer I have to get government approval for. They want a magician of their own and they don't want one like Michael and Jessica. I make a call to the President and I surprisingly get approval as long as we are stronger than them. I say that that won't be a problem.

There are nine levels of strength of magic, the first level is where Angela is at, she can do basic magic like protection, healing and other low level magics, Alice, Michael, Jessica and myself are Ninth level magicians, we can bend the laws of physics if we have to. Now you are saying how did I defeat the kids when they were younger when they were that powerful. Pure speed, I was able to cast spell faster than they were resulting in an instant knockout.

I am brought to a Chinese orphanage where children without families go. First they tried to pawn of a young child about ten, I tell them that the training will be easier on a younger child. I look around at the children. From children still in diapers to children about the age of majority. I look around and see a three year old that might be perfect so I talk to her.

"Hello," (Please remember, I am able to be understood in any language.)

"Hello."

"What is wrong?"

She looks at a boy.

"What did he do?"

She yanks on her hair.

"Pulled your hair."

"Yes."

"Well, I can't help you there, but you can help me only if you want to. Do you want to help me?"

She nods her head in the positive.

"We are going to put on a magic show for all the kids in the orphanage and you are going to be the star of the show."

So I prepare for the show for the three dozen kids and for my first act, off comes my head. Nothing gruesome, I am able to speak to the children and my body minus my head is able to act as if my head was still attached, my little assistant helping me as best she could. So for the finale, I put my little assistant in one of two white linen lined boxes and when I let the magic fly, she is in the other box with a different change of clothes, from the rags of her old life to a new set of clothes comparable to what trends in China are now.

After the show, I get some alone time with the little girl.

"Was that fun?"

"Yes."

"How would you like to do that?"

"Would I."

"Yes, you will. That and more. All you have to do is come with me and be my daughter."

I get a hug.

After meeting with the orphanage officials and more state officials, some wanting to place restrictions on what I may teach the child. After telling them what I think of their restrictions, then they want close observation of the child. I tell them of the two mile restricted space around my island enforced by dragon and its rider and there is only one way onto my island. By air and I have that restricted to essentials only (I don't tell them about the doorway to my business. Only the US knows about that.) Then I get asked how long it would take to teach little Lin Xao everything. I tell them that I am still learning myself but I will release her on her eighteenth birthday when she becomes an adult in my eyes. They claim that is unacceptable, my response is do they want a teenager with the power to destroy their government. I wouldn't. An adult can make rational decisions. A child would act on impulse.

As we finish with the government, I send a message to the kids to meet up at a restaurant, Michael suggests the night market and we all get there about the same time with me being last.

"Who do you have there, Daddy?" Michael says.

With Lin Xao behind my back, I say, "This is Lin Xao, an orphan, Under agreement with the Chinese government, We are to train her in the ways of magic."

"It is nice to meet you, Lin Xao, " Jessica says.

"I am starving, lets go eat."

"Are you hungry, Lin Xao?" Lin Xao nods. "Then let us go eat."

And we feast on lots of food. Till we are stuffed and then we head back to the hotel where Everyone gets a bath, Especially Lin Xao. Then we get to the sleeping arrangements. There are two double beds, I take one bed with Jessica and Lin Xao and Michael and Jasmine take the other bed.

After another week of waiting for Lin Xao's passport, I get to work with the help of Michael, Jessica and Jasmine, I change Uranium and Plutonium from nuclear weapons to Gold, not forgetting the nuclear waste from the manufacture of these weapons. China, the Soviet Republic and Europe is weapon free.

After making a side trip to India/Pakistan to prevent them from launching anything that might carry a nuclear device, I travel to San Francisco to convert the US stockpile of nuclear weapons and waste. The total conversion value of the gold is over one trillion dollars US spread across three countries.

After conversing with the US and Chinese governments it is decided that I should adopt Lin Xao. The Chinese wasn't happy about that until the US government flat out refused to issue a student Visa for every year Lin Xao is to be in this country.

Lin Xao gets to my island and is surprised that I own a whole island, she is even more surprised when I ask if she would like her own room to sleep in or would she like to sleep with us in the big bed. She chooses her own room. I tell her that we can get some things to decorate it tomorrow

Then the aftereffects of me adopting Lin Xao come into effect. (China can't keep its mouth shut.) The President of the United States gets calls from every country asking for a Magic user of their own. I get the call on a Wednesday.

"Master, Phone call from the President."

I go and pick up the phone.

"Mr. President, what can I do for you?"

"You really caused an uproar with the adoption of that kid. I've gotten calls from every government asking if I would provide a magic user to them."

"Inform those countries that I have a limited space to train and so many bedrooms available."

I get to work expanding the house. I increase the number of bedrooms from six to twelve. (That is one bedroom for me and the kids, one to birth babies in, Janice's bedroom, Lin Xao's room, and eight more for more kids.)

I begin choosing which countries get a magic user, I don't have the room to take one from each country but I do what I can . I choose from Africa, a kid from the nation of South Africa named Michael, a young three year old black orphan raised in a missionary orphanage since he was one, From Europe I choose two, One from England, named John and one from France named Marie. From the Soviet Republic I pick up Boris, A boy who parents were killed and has no living relatives. I pick no one from South America due to the instability raging across the continent. Ever since the price of oil dropped below thirty dollars a barrel, the oil producing countries in that region has had a hard time keeping the people happy, that and those in the former drug producing regions as a continual dislike to me and the governments there. And India, Pakistan, and the Middle East are no different. I sense a growing discontent between me and them. Especially after attempting to fire a missile, India and Pakistan accuse each other of sabotage.

And finally I pick up Noriko, an orphan from Japan

When I get them home, I give them a bath and then show them their rooms. I tell them they can put anything on the walls that they want. After the showing of the bedrooms and confusing Janice as their new mother, I show them the house and the grounds. It is not every day a kid gets to see a beach and the sand there. And then they get their first American meal, hot dogs, grilled to perfection

The next day, I take the kids to get clothing, I go to my favorite department store and pick up enough clothes for two weeks. We end up with dozens of bags. The kids change into their swim suits and the adults also change into theirs and we play in the sand. While the kids are playing in the sand, I am casting spells. The first is to imprint the English language into their minds. The second is to give them the ability to cast magic. I give them fourth level magic. (Out of a nine level scale.) Then I begin with magic lessons. I get them to levitate small objects, like shells from the beach, Greta is good at this after a quarter hour of trying and the rest get it in five minutes, after words. I continue the lessons for a hour a day, six days a week until.

Today I am teaching the kids some magic when the proximity alarm goes off. This magic alerts me if any ship approaches the island within two miles. I cancel classes for the rest of the day and go to Maggie to help me find it. When I do , it is a destroyer heading my way currently a half mile inside my perimeter and it is Chinese. I go to a hidden part of the island and create Lucy, my pet dragon and fly over the ship and announce a warning.

"You are in violation of privately protected waters. Please return to international waters immediately. This is your first warning."

After five minutes, they keep moving towards my island then I fire a warning shot across their bow using Lucy's Flame attack and repeat the warning.

"You are in violation of privately protected waters. Please return to international waters immediately. This is the second to last warning."

They speed up their engines and head back to international waters. I return to the island and I am spotted by little Michael. I land on the beach and the kids come running. I tell the kids to look and touch Lucy and I will give them a ride after I make a few phone calls.

I make a conference call to the Naval Station at Pearl Harbor and the Chinese Embassy. I tell the Chinese government to respect my two mile exclusion zone around my island or risk having their ships sunk with warning. The Naval station sends out a few ships to patrol.

I return to the kids and give them a ride. The boys want a roller coaster type of ride and the girls want a basic flight.

Time passes, and Janice's pregnancy is progressing nicely, she is near term and ready to give birth. She has discussed it and wants Michael and Jasmine there to help her give birth in the birthing room with Michael catching the babies. I suspect Janice, Jasmine and Michael have been getting together for some extra special activities.

As time passes, Janice gets cravings like most pregnant women, but hers is standard compared to Alice's when she was pregnant. One thing is peach cobbler with freshly made chocolate ice cream. Alice is glad to make it for her. Along with fresh whole wheat bread.

The time has come for the babies to be born and I tell them if you need me, holler. I get the reply, "Okay Daddy." And the kids retire to the birthing room which has changed a little since the last birth. This time there is an inflatable pool filled with warm water being kept at that temperature by magic. I shut the door and tell the kids that tomorrow morning there will be two baby hybrids born.

Eight o'clock comes around and I shoo the kids to bed, telling them stories to help them go to sleep. (With magical images on the ceiling to go along with the story.)

Midnight comes along and there is very little noise coming out of the birthing room. It is not till two o'clock that I hear a noise of a baby's crying that the first one is born. A half an hour later, the cries of the second baby is heard. Jasmine comes out and updates me on what happened. The baby boy was born first in the standard birth position but the girl decided to come out feet and tail first. Both children are fine

I go in and check up on Janice and the babies. I pick up Janice and put her on the bed and I test the children for magical ability. They have some magic ability. I let Mom and babies rest after casting the spell Alice used on Angela at their age. (The potty sense spell)
