                  “Yes, I am physically superior to a human being. I'm smarter,
                 faster, stronger etcetera … However, these traits do not make

                 me a magical creature.”
                  “Come on! They say you can bend metal bars with your mind,
                 ignite fire and cast spells!” Daina protested.
                  “Yeah, I'm secretly a Jedi.” Jaunee laughed, “You caught me.
                 I'm the incestuous daughter of Luke and Leia.”
                  “Are you?” Daina replied, and Jaunee could not read if she
                 was being serious.
                  “Non!” Jaunee began. “However, you are correct that I am
                 capable of performing magic,” She admitted.

                  “See!” Daina replied.
                  “Magic, as you refer to it is nothing more than a form of energy
                 one  can  learn  to  harness  with  practice  and  effort.  There  is
                 nothing supernatural or magical about it. All energies obey the
                 laws of physics. However, your human understanding of physics
                 still has not reached its full maturity ... A few decades ago flying
                 to the moon was considered science fiction. Just imagine what

                 you could accomplish a century from now, assuming a nuclear
                 war doesn’t extinguish human life. You could be immortal, all of
                 you.” Jaunee said, hopefully.
                  “Do you really believe it's possible?” Daina asked, now keenly
                 interested. She thought back to her life, to her every-morning
                 ritual of looking in the mirror — looking for graying hairs. What
                 a dream it would be to be forever young.
                  “Oui ... I believe that it is. But for this dream to become real
                 …” Jaunee mistakenly replied to Daina's thoughts. “… The light

                 will have to finally overcome the darkness.”
                  “What  is  the  light  then,  and  what  is  the  darkness?”  Daina
                 asked, forgetting her role as interviewer.
                  “Oh  it's  nothing  magical…to  put  plainly.  The  darkness  is  a
