"Excellent questions, Eira." Lady  Violetta spoke and projected.<br/>"The Magic  Cores are handed down from generation to generation. Some distant ancestor had some kind of magical powers like yours. These Magical Cores have been dormant for many generations now. The environment on the Earth is getting so bad that it needs help getting cleaned up once again. Which is why this planet was created. I have a class to tell you about the basic powers that you have.<br/>My job is to make sure that no one leaves the Academy before they are ready.<br/>How the painting finds you is a mystery to me. There is a higher being than I who does the controlling of many things.<br/><br/>Aisling, what is your question?" she asked.<br/><br/>"Can we keep all of this stuff? I mean I never had a cell phone before or a laptop." Aisling asked.<br/><br/>"Yes it is yours plus you will be getting a lot more things including your own room to decorate and even a mythical pet." Lady Violetta smiled warmly.
