Now Matt's grandfather had often told him about His grandfather
who had been born in Eire Derry Ireland in 1890 and had been
a chemistry researcher for a German chemical manufacturer
till he had joined the New Irish Army
in 1916
and come out the wrong bit of luck during
the Troubles.
As a young boy Matt's grandad had asked his grandad why
he had got involved in the Troubles.
The aging Irish chemist had replied
" to end the Reign of the Fairies in Ireland"
by which he'd meant to help science and technology replace the
superstition and backwards belief in Witches Curses and the like
he'd seen in the Ireland he'd grown up in.
Matt at the time his grandad had told him about the Troubles
was into science fairs,amateur science laboratories and the Scientific Method and
was a example of what the old Irish chemist had fought so
long ago to bring about.
So Matt had not been a believer in Fairy Magic when three
years ago at the
age of eight
his granddad,his mom and dad had died in the Crossfire
largely because they'd been at the wrong place at the wrong time
by a matter of perhaps thirty three seconds.
Thirty Three seconds had meant the difference
between his three relatives
living or dying that night.
However their Luck had run out and
young Matt had left their funerals thinking
" Maybe granddads granddad should have fought less hard agaignst
the Reign of the Fairies.
Luck of the Irish Fairies.
And now three years
later
here in this orphanage room
crouched
a honest to goodness
Wish Apon a Shooting Star Girl Dragon
named
Kathleen Leasara MacGregor
a fairy
So Matt was less interested in wishes
and more about
LUCK
