Wands and Warframes

Aftermath

"What about Harry's pod?"

"It would only hold my subframe. I am not just what is in the subframe."

"Dora," Xeno sounds a little hysterical, "Do we still have your great grandmothers pensive?"

"It's in the basement, why?"

"I need to see, I need to see what happened. Fae never tell you everything, ever."

Natah looks confused, "What are you talking about?"

Luna's voice comes from behind them, "A pensive is a magical device that can be used to view memories extracted magically. Hello Father, I was asked to say 'Namtar says hi' next time I saw you".

Xeno's face goes slack and he drops to the floor with a thunk, Jr spilling from his cradle. Waking from the sudden shock, Jr starts crying and flies into Pandora's arms.

"No, it can't be. Not here. How? What about Beedle? Was it all false? My quest?..."

As Xeno trails off into incomprehensibility, Natah and Luna both turn towards Pandora, who has started nursing her son.

"What?" Pandora says defensively.

Natah just points at Xeno.

"I'll need to unpack the Rookery to explain it properly, but we've not found anywhere suitable."

Luna holds her head in her hands, "Mum, why not here? Well not this room, but here as in this complex. There's that room with a model of earth that keeps falling over. You could unpack it there."

"We need more space than that Little Moon, we packed the whole of the Rookery, not just the house."

Luna shrugs and with child like logic says, "Find a bigger room then, or make one."

"We can't just do that, it needs sunlight, good water, preferably a leyline as well." – Natah transmits some data with capabilities of the Orokin facilities – "Well, we still need the leyline."

"Mum, have you found any leylines anywhere in this solar system?"

"Well, no."

"Then make one, you're a researcher aren't you?"

"I suppose I could, but I'd need to get decent scans of existing leylines to determine how they're formed naturally. Probably from a distance where I can get a holistic view of the entire map rather than..."

Natah interrupts, "Pandora, is that a yes?"

"What, oh yes, it should certainly be possible."

"Is it something that needs to be done before you restore your home?"

"Oh. No, it should be good for a couple of years before the magic in the wards bleeds off to a level that can no longer support the plant and animal life."

"Then, maybe we should unpack your home and then work out how to get your scans. Can you do it from Lua?"

"No, this earth doesn't have any leylines. We've checked. I might be able to do it from the other Earth's moon though."

"How would you do it?"

"I'd need my books and equipment, then I'd start by designing a ritual to... My books and equipment are all packed away in the Rookery."

"So, where do you want to put the Rookery?"

"Yes, let's get on that. This is how much space we used before." – She sends over the data she gathered while they were packing up the estate – "Oh, but how are we going to get to that moon if the void is still dangerous to us?"
