Delicious smells wafted out of the kitchen.

"It's amazing how magical Mom's kitchen is. Food goes in, and delicious meals come out." Aspari said.

"Mom?" Pondera asked.

"Jezeel, sorry." Aspari said turning away.

Charlie glanced at Pondera, almost frowning at him for pointing it out.

"Now Aspari," Charlie said kindly, "We've talked about this. You call Jezeel what ever it be, be it Mum, Jezeel, Mummy or Oi, you."

He chuckled.

Aspari nodded and just sat there.

"So, these masters, they really the downfall of civilization like Caistra says?" Nyx asked sensing an uncomfortable silence and attempting to head it off.

"Oh no, infact they've helped raise civilization, even help change it for the better. Their latest target's been The Floor Kippers." Pondera said, as delicious scents wafted out of the kitchen.

"They've done wonders," Charlie said, "re-introduced magic to The Floor Kippers and Earth."

"So, what, they just give out knowledge?" Nyx asked,

"No, well, in the case of Earth and Magic, yes. We sent them and a whole bunch of teachers over. The Ancients selected 11 special students with potential far beyond their peers, and turned them into The Masters of The Floor Kippers, 11 Arch-Magi whose purpose is not only to keep the education of magic active, but also to guide the government and people in ways that a bunch of laws simply can't. Thanks to the Kipperese masters, working in conjunction with The Ministry of The Supernatural, magic and its usage, and its spread have remained responsible. I imagine it wasn't too long after that first class when other nations and The IAN, plus the EDF began clamoring to send their own students to Titfield." Pondera said.

"And what of other knowledge?" Nyx asked.

"Psionic power was done much the same way, with The Crystal Marquis having the same general prestige as The Kipperese Masters of Magic. They all work closely with the government, as The Ancients knew this would help both sides, The Masters and The Government, be more effective together than either could be alone.

When it comes to Science, The Ancients gifted the government with the seeds of knowledge, in the form of books that probably took teams of Scientists to first decipher, then to figure out, and eventually, understand. There was also a garden, and a few other things too, such as Nanite Technology, but it was always the same. Because the Scientists had to figure it out for themselves from the books, they were better able to understand the knowledge. Because they understood the knowledge so well, The Ministry of Scientific Advancement was able to use that knowledge to everyone's advantage. Life has steadily improved in various ways. We didn't just tell them outright, because if we spontaineously dumped advanced technology on them, civilization would disappear overnight. The Ancients spoke repeatedly about being responsible with their gifts. And I can see, they were listened too." Pondera said.

Aspari went to the kitchen, grinning at Pondera and Charlie.

"Oi You! Is dinner about ready we're starving?" Aspari asked with a cheeky grin.

The reply he was given came in the form of three throaty growls.

"They indicated it was time to wash up. Boy if looks could kill." Aspari said meekly.

"And this, Nyx, is Vizzerdrix." Jezeel said.

Nyx had been introduced to a side of mashed potatoes and gravy, and a medley of mixed vegetables.

Afterwards, to a round of "Happy Birthday" Nyx blew out the candles on her first birthday cake and found she liked chocolate.

This brought the Millers home where Nyx had Karesh, William, and Sam off to one side.

"When I was allowed to wash in water, I did so at night. Now there's this shower I can use daily. But, we dipped in water. I do not know how to shower properly. I ask you William and Sam, for permission to borrow Karesh to shower with me at least once, that I might learn how." Nyx asked quietly.

"I, agree. I don't know how a girl's supposed to wash certain things." Sam said.

"I do, but insisted she ask William first." Karesh said, who was indeed a very clean person when it came to personal hygiene.

"You've got five hours Karesh, plan appropriately before bed." Sarah Angel said mysteriously as she passed.

Karesh and Nyx stepped in, Sam leaning against the wall beside his door.

"Her and I are going to do a lot of talking tonight, since neither of us have the physical need for sleep." Sam said.

He'd find a pink silk one laid out on her bed, apparently what she planned on wearing to bed for the night.

Sam opened his door so William could lay it on the bed, everyone had their own private personal bathroom. The sounds of showering could be heard.

"And, how do we wash this part?" Nyx could be head asking.

"Very carefully, but like everything else." Karesh could be heard asking.

"Karesh, we brought you a dressing gown, it's on the bed next to Nyx's assortment of clothes." Sam said.

"Thanks!" Karesh called as Sam stepped back out.

"The new recruits have learned when I tell them something, I mean it. The veterans have been doing nicely, assisting with all sorts of missions. I wish I was there now. I've never done this before, I don't quite know how to handle it." Sam admitted.
