The Chocolate in Trouble

Petunia snorted. “You just want to get away from your grandmother.”

“Well, yes, duh,” Sagara said. “And I want to be with my mother. But also, there are some really interesting things happening in the Logical Realm. They’ve learned to do things without magic that we’ve never imagined, most of it using math. That’s why my mother left to live there. And I want to learn about it, too.”

“But, you’ll be infected! You’ll become logical and lose all your magic!” Petunia cried.

“Indubitably,” Max added.

Sagara laughed. “Doesn’t seem to affect your dad. I checked up on him. He’s one of the most powerful wizards in the Enchanted Forest and several other Realms.” She put her palms down on the table. “I don’t think logic and magic are incompatible. They’re just two different ways of getting things done. What I want,” and the elf’s eyes began to gleam, “is to find ways to combine them, to use the strengths of both disciplines, together.”

“Hmm, sort of like combining two recipes,” Millie said. She enjoyed doing that.

Sagara shook her head violently. “No, more like using recipes to... to build bridges. Or using music to plant crops.”

Petunia shrugged. “Just sounds like more magic to me.”

“Regardless, travel to the Logical Realm is very dangerous,” Max insisted. “You can be lost between Realms! And even if you do get there, you’ll lose all your magic, and there’s a good chance you’ll never get home.”

“I think it’s worth the risk. Will you help me?” Sagara looked at each of them, pleading.

Millie nodded. “What do you need us to do?”

“Right now, I need help with research,” Sagara said. “I need to figure out where the nearest portal to the Logical Realm is. Max, your dad probably knows. I’d like you to look through his notes, see if you can find anything out.”

“Gadzooks!” Max exclaimed. “If Dad finds me going through his notes, he’ll skin me alive. Besides, all his notes are in...” He paused, thunderstruck. “They’re all in English.”

“Told you so,” Sagara said smugly. She turned to Millie. “Millie, you’re one of the fastest readers I’ve ever met. Could you help me read through books on Realm travel and figure out how to open the portal?”

Millie nodded. “Sure, that sounds interesting.”

“What about me?” asked Petunia.

“Two things,” said Sagara. “I need you to keep an eye on our enemies. If the goblins figure out what we’re doing...”

“Or Cretacia,” Max added gloomily.

“I’m on it!” Petunia said, looking fierce. “What’s the other thing?”

Sagara looked embarrassed. “Well, um, you’re a pixie. So perhaps you could give me some pixie dust? To make it easier to open the portal?”

Petunia frowned. “You know I can’t do that. Pixie code of honor.” She thought for a moment. “But if I go with you to the portal, I can use it myself.”

“I can’t ask you to do that,” Sagara said. “It’s much too dangerous. Max and Millie are human, and I’m close enough to human to be able to survive without magic. But pixies are an inherently magical race.
