"I was wondering about something although I just want to make sure first. You said that your uncle said that both of us were needed to help find our trainer's mother?" Max asked.

" He did. He also said I need to overcome my fear of flying." Thalia said,hoping that helped Max.

"If you don't mind me asking, why do you need to overcome your fear?" Max asked, curious.

" I don't like heights, since I was a pine tree for so long." Thalia said.

"But I thought Zeus was a god of air," Max said, slightly confused as to how someone who had the protection of the greatest god of the air would have a fear of heights.

" Dad is. But I'm just a Demi-god and tend to have fears like regular humans do sometimes. " Thalia explained.

"But why would your uncle tell you to conquer your fear?" Max asked. "Unless..."

".... You and I are the ones that save our trainers mom. " Thalia finished. She hoped both Carly and Dea would see thier mom again.

"That's what I was thinking. But I didn't see the connection of how we could help them find their mom, or where to even begin, but I think I have an idea now...something you're going to hate too unfortunately," Max said. She knew that they would have to deal with the members here first, but after that, she would help Carly and Dea find their mother.

" What idea do you have?" Thalia asked. She knew that Max and the others needed to take care of the School first, and hoped that they all would be alright.

I think...she's up in the sky, somewhere. It's the only thing that I can think of that would make your uncle say that we're needed to help find their mom. It's the only thing we have in common," Max said.

" I agree. I do wonder who has her though. " Thalia said , wondering if it was a human or a god that had their trainer's mother imprisoned.

"I was hoping you could help me with that..." Max said sheepishly. "But first, you need to get over your fear of heights, and we need to take care of these bastards," she added.

" And I will help you. I'll ask Tracy if there is a way she and Saphira can help me with my fear of heights. I have actually always wanted to fly on a dragon. And I know you all will be able to stop the school. The Scientsts have already been taken care of. " Thalia said.

"I have a feeling that Tracy, or Eragon, will be able to help you when it comes to riding a dragon," Max said with a small grin on her face, glad that Thalia was willing to go and try conquering her fear of heights. "Carly, did you want to talk to your sister again?" she asked, as the two Bishies were done talking...for now anyways.

(Sorry about taking so long. Went to a funeral today. one of my friends died in a car crash a few days ago.:( )
" Sure." Carly said, as turned away from the screens. She knew Max would watch them while she finished talking to Dea.

(That sucks...how are you feeling?)

Thalia gave Dea her bishidex back so that she could talk to her older sister, silently hoping that Tracy would let her ride Saphira in order to get over her fear of heights.

( Numb actually. I had just talked to him on Facebook the day before he died. We were talking about our class reunion coming up in June. I wasn't going to go , but he convinced me I should. I'll try to keep posting this weekend but I think my mind is still else were. His death is the third I know of since graduation. One guy was a firefighter and died in a barn fire, and the other was someone I knew a little bit that had a really bad asthma attack. )

" Carly. Promise me that you'll tell me when things start to get interesting.There are a group of trainers here from our battle that said they want to help Alex. I think one of them said they met before. " Deanna said.

(Jeez...life really is too short, isn't it? I don't know what I can do or say since I haven't had a close friend of mine die, at least not yet. If you want to take a break from the RPs, let me know. Also, I'm here to talk if you want to talk to me. I'll listen. I would like to offer my condolences to your friend and his family...no one should have to lose a life like that...)

"Oh? Did you happen to get their names?" Carly asked, surprised that her sister was being serious for once. If she knew who her sister was talking about, she would tell Alex about it and pass along the memo.

( thank you. It is too short.i think I'll be okay for now.there is talk of a Facebook page that his family wants to create in his memory, but it's still early. I think once my reunion hits I'll be a mess. its hard to believe I've been out of high school 10 years already. He was a nice guy. We weren't friends in high school, but he wasn't one who picked on me. )

" I think his name was Greg. I have his number in case Alex wants to talk to him. " Deanna said and sent the number in an encrypted message to her sister.

(Alright and you're welcome)

"Greg...that name sounds familiar actually," Carly said before thinking as to where she heard the name before. "I'll let Alex know Dea, thanks," she replied.

" Your welcome. Talk to you later. I need to get back to work." Deanna said seeing more trainers coming in the door.

"Alright, I'll talk to you later Deanna," Carly said with a small smile as she closed the Bishidex, ending the call.

" You ready for some lunch Kirito?" Eve asked when they took a break. She had promised Carly she would bring her and Max some food while they were in the control room.

"Lunch sounds like a good idea Eve-chan," Kirito said, wondering if Jean would be willing to spar with him and help train his trainer.
