Jake still felt numb, he couldn't open his eyes. Nor could he move. Suddenly he felt a jolt of pain through his right arm and a warm feeling spread from the location the pain originated.

After a while he was able to open his eyes and move his soar body.

"What was that?" He asked Ace as he stretched his aching muscles.

Ace who put a syringe back into a first-aid kit turned.

"It was the room. it sped up the time inside it."

"Sounds like Einstein's Theory of relativity." Jake said.

Ace raised his eyebrows.

"Me and you in this room experience the time different than the ones outside it."

"You know of Einstein's theory?" Ace asked dumfounded.

"Eh… Learned it during a period of detention I had to copy all kinds of books by hand." Jake growled. "So how does it work?"

Ace totally taken aback by that question. He shook his head.

"Kid, you're a dragon, a magical creature. Tell me what is the first thing that comes to mind, which can be the cause of time difference between the outside world and this room."

"Magic?" Jake said more as a question.

"Well done, You just won yourself a prize."

"What is it?" Jake said almost too afraid to ask.

"Another fifty pushups."

"Aww man!" Resonated through the immense room as he dropped into a pushup position.

"Dude you're serious?" The wand asked.

Spud nodded.

"Totally, don't you like it?"

"Like it? I love it. maybe you're not so bad after all. Shame we won't be able to talk much after today." The wand sighed.

He got a questioning look from Spud.

The wand let out a chuckle.

"No one told you, after I am named. I will lose my ability to talk. It can be restored but only once a year for a few hours."

Spud blinked a few times.

"So I only named you to talk with you once a year?"

No response came from the wand.

"It seems he has lost the ability to talk, finally. Markus said as he let out a relieved sigh. "I thought he would never shut up."

Spud glared at Markus.

"I don't like you."

"Well… to bad. Here are the cards from the wizards who might want to train you. I will leave now. If you have decided which one will be your guide. Take the card in your left hand and tap three times on your head with your wand." Markus said as he got up.

"That sounds silly." Spud giggled like a little girl. "Why do I have to do that?"

Markus sighed and rubbed his eyes and wondered if he had made the right choice and only could hope he did not pick him. He had respect for the wizard who could hold it out with this one for more than five minutes. He kept asking questions. In some kind of way he could understand but questions that didn't make sense. In his time when an elder told you something you did what he said and didn't ask or protest. These kids these days. His son was difficult enough.

"Ask the one you choose."

"But…" Spud tried but it had no use Markus had already left the apartment.

Spud got the seven cards all with a wizard on them.

He looked at the first one.

Eli Excelsior Pandarus was written beneath the picture.

"So how does this work?" He asked himself.

As if on cue smoke came from card and formed Eli Pandarus.

"Good day Arthur Spudinskie my name is Eli Pandarus. But I think we already met each other a few times. Let's say we started off on the wrong foot. Choose me as your master and I will make from you a wizard which uses his full potential."

After that the smoke disappeared.

Spud got another card the same thing happened.

"Hello Arthur, I am Enid Lafarge." A woman said with a strong French accent. "I have proved to be a worthy wizard several times to the order. Good wizards have been trained by my and if you choose me I will model you in a magnificent wizard."

Spud to the next this one had a snake on it. also here smoke formed.

"Greetings, Spudinskie I am Allister Serpentine. I might be a animal guardian but with my knowledge about magic and my ability to use it I can be your guardian as well as your teacher. Choose me and you will reach your full potential. Another advantage I will come to you instead of you to me."

Spud looked a little bit longer at this card. After a while he took the last four again there were messages which tried to sway them in choosing them as his teacher the last one was from Markus Thrall.

"Arthur. I am Markus Thrall. A high placed wizard trained by your grandfather. The things he taught me" The smoke figure paused. "Are irrational but brilliant in their own way. Choose me I will teach you the same things your grandfather taught me."

Again the smoke disappeared.

"So Arthur have you decided?" His dad asked him.

Spud frowned.

"Don't know yet I will have to think about it a few hours."

His father nodded and Spud left the apartment.

Rose awoke and stretched her arms. She yawned and got out of her bed. as she entered the living room she was greeted by her dad with a stern face.

"Where were you yesterday?" He asked her arms crossed.

Rose eyebrows raised.

"I was on a mission."

"A mission? What kind of mission?" He asked her.

"Nothing big really. I had to do it all the time when I was in the Huntsclan."

Her father sighed.

"Rose, If it's true what you told us that happened you never were in the Huntsclan."

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"If it's true this is an alternative reality. One which you were born not taking by that Huntsclan thingy. So you actually never was in it. you're just Rose."

Rose got angry.

"I still know what they did to me. I also remember every day of training every punishment as I did not bring home Jake's pelt. Doesn't that count." She shouted.

"Don't you see that are memories from your alternate life. Now you're just Rose." He shouted back.

Tears stung at the sides of Rose eyes. She shook her head.

"Your mean. You don't know what I experienced."

Her dad walked towards her and took a hold of her arms.

"Rose don't you get I just said it these things never happened to you."

"No…No I don't…" Rose turned and ran out of the apartment. Leaving a worried father.

She was still upset about what her father told her. They maybe were memories from another life but to say such things were downright mean. She walked through the gardens of the palace and sat down on a bench lost in thought.

A dragon walked next to her and sat down.

"What's wrong." She asked with a sweet voice.

"Sun, my dad was mean. He told me all the things I did as Huntsgirl never happened."

Sun smiled warmly.

"They tell the truth. You also know that." She softly said.

Rose glared at her.

"You are also agreeing with him."

"In a way I have to agree with him, he is right. You never lived the life of the Huntsgirl but yet you did. Jake wished for you to never been taken by the Huntsclan. That whish happened and if it weren't for the events on Victoria's peak you only would have known of and see the magical creatures as your parents do. Don't blame them Rose, be happy that you have them and that they trusted you enough to come to a place full of dragons and other magical creatures who are portrayed often in stories as the villain. Go back to them and speak with them and you maybe don't agree but in these times families have to stick together. The Korean dragon said. As she stood. "Now go if you want I can ask Jonathon to speak with them again and alone Jonathan not some dragon who watches if Jonathon might say things he isn't allowed to say."

Rose nodded feeling a bit better. The Korean dragon flashed her a last smile and started to walk away. "if you want that conversation just let me know."
