‘We’re in a helicopter.’ She replied to the young blonde man. ‘What’s she going to do? Jump out of it after she robbed you? Swim hundreds of miles to the shore? Not even accounting for the changing of the tides and the current that keeps pushing you further away from shore.’

"She could get out of the helicopter." came the struggling voice of the big woman seated far as possible from any of the windows. She was leaned back with her eyes closed, sweat beading on her brow and looking slightly green. Her only contribution to the conversation so far had been quiet groans whenever the helicopter was jostled by a rogue wind and other sounds of someone heroically battling to keep their sick in their stomach. "She could go down in the waves and live and brag about it. She could do everything you said, if she had magic. Magic can do anything."

It was the mantra west had been repeating to herself to bear through this long hellish helicopter ride. It what shed told herself when she'd been packing, when she'd closed down her business, when she'd first seen the ad in the paper. The idea that noting was impossible. That was the idea that Maniacles had offered, and like cupids arrow the idea had buried itself deep in her small, childish heart. "From now on you shouldn't dismiss anything out of hand."
