Children of the Blood Diamonds
Chapter 3: The NIC
(7pm at Fairy World)
Jorgen Von Strangle sat at his desk as he looked over files ensuring everything was in order.
Suddenly the door to his office flew open.
"I'm busy come back later," Jorgen said firmly without even looking up.
There was no response but the door didn't close and no footsteps were heard walking away.
Two hours later Jorgen finally looked up and in front of him. There stood five ghostly figures floating about an inch above the ground.
"What are you doing here?" Jorgen demanded angrily, "spiritual and magical entities have CLEAR separations!" he shouted.
"That's what we're here to maintain," the only female among the group of ghosts told him.
"Excuse me?" Jorgen asked still sounding upset.
"We are here to ensure that regulations against magical entities intervening in CERTAIN spiritual actions on Earth are kept intact," a male ghosts with a bowl hair cut covering his eyes said formally.
"The rules clearly have that stated," Jorgen told them, "if fairies try to intervene with magic," he said, "their wands automatically shut off just like when they try to intervene with true love."
"Yes that's true," the female agreed and her English accent became apparent, "but they CAN intervene without use of magic," she pointed out.
"Unless they're out to slit someone's throat that's NOT my concern!" Jorgen roared, "I can't monitor every Fairy Godparent's movement," he told them, "I'm no stalker!" he declared.
"But we need to keep them out of this one-hundred percent," the female persisted, "those who intervene WILL be hurt," she said, "we don't want anything to happen to magical creatures who aren't involved," she told Jorgen, "witches, wizards, imps, goblins, other magical entities, bloody hell even the Pixies agreed!" she informed him.
"Pixies!" Jorgen shouted, "part of their order is to keep spirits out of their world to upkeep their belief of the natural order of TOTAL separation of the living and spiritual world," he recalled.
"Well we broke through," another male with properly groomed hair and eye glasses declared in an accent that sounded as if he was from 1960's Harlem, "and got to the H.P." he continued, "after calming down to hear us he realized the situation and the man agreed with us and signed the papers," he told Jorgen.
"Calmed down?" Jorgen asked in confusion.
"He was absolutely furious when he saw us enter his office," the female revealed to Jorgen, "makes your reaction seem quiet and nun like," she declared, "he shouted about 'abominations' and 'breaking the order' and a lot of stuff I dare not repeat," she said, "he was on top of his voice, his glasses thrown aside and hat on the floor from his explosive performance not to mention the veins pulsating on his head," she listed, "we honestly hadn't expected to see the Head Pixie that angry," she admitted and Jorgen's shock proved that neither had he, "they are usually so calm and emotionless, those pixies."
"Yeah," Jorgen agreed feeling unsettled that the H.P. of all pixies was driven to such levels of wrath, "but you did say that he agreed."
"Oh yes," the bowl cut male spoke up, "we have his signature on the NIC," he told Jorgen.
"What's that?" Jorgen asked.
"A No Intervention Contract," the female told him, "it disallows all magical creatures whose Heads have sign it from intervening in the situation," she said vaguely.
"If you don't plan on expanding on that you can just FORGET my signature," Jorgen told her frankly.
"Have you heard of the Children of the Blood Diamonds?" the female asked Jorgen.
Suddenly Jorgen's face filled with fear.
"I see that you know about them," the female said coldly.
"Give me the contract," Jorgen said immediately.
"But I haven't explained…" the female started to.
"What's your name?" Jorgen demanded.
"Katherine," the female told him.
"Give me the contract Katherine," Jorgen said firmly and she did, "will it help make the monsters who either caused the evilest diamond dig in history to pay?" he asked her.
"And those who take the diamonds for profit and plain leisure despite it being dug by helpless children who were also raped and tortured and finally slaughtered right in those VERY caves," Katherine added.
"Here," Jorgen said after signing it, "I hope those bastards pay," he declared.
"Oh they will," Katherine said sweetly, "thank you Jorgen," she said and floated out with the other four in tow.
Half an hour after leaving Fairy world another male spoke, one who visibly looked Asian despite his stark white appearance (unlike the Harlem accented ghost who looked black when he was alive) .
"You really fooled that German Fairy into signing that contract," the Asian said to Katherine.
"I did Yusken," Katherine said happily, "little does he know that by allowing Children of the Blood Diamonds to punish ALL those who profit from the diamonds that unsuspecting customers can now be punished as well without them being able to anything about it magically or physically now."
"But they are given a week to return the diamonds," the bowl cut boy pointed out, "that Veronica returned hers," he continued, "she's the only one unlike others like Trixie Tang who's locked the thing away instead of returning it along with the truckload of other stuff she bought," he added bitterly.
"That snooty bitch will get hers if she doesn't listen to the signs and return those diamonds," Katherine said frankly.
"And Veronica heeded the warning," Yusken pointed out, "if she can so can her friend Trixie," he added.
"But I still don't like it," a small boy without arms and an Australian accent spoke, "they need more time," he protested.
"The Children of the Blood Diamonds won't give them that George!" Katherine shouted, "we've barely been able to keep them from attacking right now since the more people who buy the diamonds the stronger they become and the more of them that can escape their purgatory!" she shouted, "we were lucky as a spiritual legal legislation to even get them to listen to us!" she cried incredulously.
"That's true," George admitted, "I just pity the humans."
"Humans!" Katherine cried, "Blues was from Harlem and even he knows that it's Dimmsdale that really needs the pity," she said.
"Will you put your racism to rest," Blues snapped and Katherine stuck out her tongue at him.
"Well Dimmsdale is in for hell," Yusken summarized, "we can ALL agree on that," he added.
Done
