Chapter One - Normality

Light filtered in through my window, softly waking my up. I opened my eyes to find Crypt, my Hypnogriff lying next to my, curled up in a little ball, snoring quietly.

I slowly rolled over to get a face full of wet tongue as my last remaining family member licked me right in the face.
"Morning Jet" I mumbled as my loyal doggy companion whined in response, her tail whipping out like a grumpy snake.

I slowly got out of bed, tickled Crypt awake, got dressed in the usual healer apprentice outfit, light brown pants, a simple blue shirt, a thick belt for holding herbs covered by a light blue scarf around my middle, knee high black boots and knee pads, then woke up the rest of my slugs while putting my hair in a high ponytail.

"Morning Slick, Nova, Guard and everyone else" I said as all my little friends woke with squeaky yawns and chirps.

I do my daily routines before I head out, I check that Jets bionic eye and leg are still in mint condition (She lost them due to radiation poisoning), checking that my Darkler slug, Shard, is okay from our last incident including floppers and then out I go to see if my Master, Sasha, and the person I owe my life too, has anything for me to do.

"Morning Sasha" I say as I snatch a piece of toast and butter it with a type of spread.

"Morning Kaiya" She replies quickly while she's grinding up healing herbs into a thick paste.

I wait for the oncoming request.

"Kaiya, dear, Can you nip out and grab my some Slugthorn, Water weed and Dollarose, please? I'm lacking them in my supplies" and there it was.

"Yeah sure, Jet needs a good run. Will be back soon!" I head for the door with jet following behind and Crypt and Elixr, my Boon Doc, on my shoulder.

Opening the door, Jet tears out, running at full speed in no particular direction, and I lift my head and breathe in the exotic scents of Healer Springs Cavern.

Hopping on my mecha beast, a last-minute, put-together, rusty dragon-based mecha called BL4Z-R, I head off towards the plant patches, my trusty companion trotting next to me.

The way there wasn't long but I take the time to reflect on my previous life, topside and how it all changed. I try not to think about it as much as it makes me distracted and sad, which doesn't work well if you're a healer-in-training. Jet is the last real remainder of the topside, for anyone, and she's missing pieces too.

I remember my last day topside so clearly. It was a beautiful day of green spring grass and the perfect sky with just enough clouds but not covering the sky, and I was on top of the hills on my farm, hunting with my dogs and finding the perfect place to study useful subjects like computer engineering, anatomy, medical skills, mechanism, aerodynamics and biology. The view was fantastic, you could see the Western ocean and the nearby city, all this caught on my camera as I planned to share it with the world on the internet. Except I caught the end of the Burning world instead.
I laugh sarcastically inside my head 'Burning World, how appropriate!'

I was filming the sky when I spotted it, the doomsday device which could destroy life on Earth three times over, I dived behind a rock, dropping my camera in the process, leaving it to catch all that unfolded on film. The bomb dropped, it tore apart the city with its huge wall of air, then reshaped it with its humongous fires. The bomb was so powerful it took out the nearby army base and the airbase and it cracked the very hills I stood upon. I grabbed my camera as a huge mushroom shaped cloud unfurled above the doomed city, before I fell down a wide crack in the earth, Jet tumbling after me. We half slid, half fell down into Slugterra, landing in the healing springs unconscious, my belongs, later found on the bank. Sasha said I was out for a week at least and asked where I came from. She thought me mad the first few days as I claimed to come from somewhere that naught existed. So eventually I gave up, and suggested I had hit my head with the falling rocks. I also told her Jet was a type of slughound that had been in a fight, hence the robotic body parts and the books where my own coded diaries. From there on I became her apprentice.

Reaching the plant patches I greeted some other healers already there, gathering fresh crops, then helped myself to the plants themselves, while Jet chased wild flaringos around and around. Slugthorn was a yellow stemmed weed with big broad leaves, good for bruises. Dollarose was a pretty blue flower with a purple center that smelled like marshmallows. It helped ease younger patients. I quickly grabbed some water weed for sore stomachs then headed towards the gate, only to be stopped by Healer Murphy who needed a ripe blume, which was to high up for him to reach. I quickly scaled the tree, retrieved the blume then headed back, waving goodbye as I did.

I decided I had plenty of time to spare; BL4Z-R is faster than he looks, I decided I would take the scenic route back to the clinic. Jet jumped on the back as I revved BL4Z-R up and then pounced off onto the track. The track took us past the Waterfall of Faith that fed the Healing Springs. I had always admired waterfalls, giants of cascading water feeding things that matter most to us. However exotic bushes and flowers blocked my view and I concentrated on the track ahead.

Soon enough I cleared the track and arrived out in the open once more, the clinic in sight.

I reached the clinic from the back, parked BL4Z-R then entered through the back door.

If I had known what would be waiting for me on the other side I would have gone in a lot faster.
