Quickly, Mystique got out and took the puzzled Rose away from the green woman.<br/>"Now please stay put Rose. I'll play with you later.<br/>Green Lady, please guide us and help us understand who the  Magea were and what kind of a power did they hold. Help us to understand you and what you are. You are not alive yet not living. You exist but how? How does the magic work?<br/>Is there any way that we can get into your city, Ediaz? The one that was sunk so long ago….. How do you know how long ago if there is nothing to measure time with?<br/>You said that none of the Magea survived, but their blood lives on then reiterated it by saying that the blood of the Mage yet lives. The more that you speak, the more confused I get……<br/>Did you or have you ever eaten? What in your in your mind is the wild world? You never had the joy of having a pet? An animal that you care for…..” Mystique paused as she thought for a moment. She then looked at Rose who had tears falling down her face.<br/>“Why did you crush Rose’s gift to you? It was part of her treasures that she found and then she gave you one of them. You simply whirled it until it was nothing but dust. Why?”  Mystique was ready to slap the green woman but she felt that it would not feel anything. It was so totally incapable of feeling anything at all as far as she could tell. So she simply gathered the child in her arms to hold and comfort her with love.
