Lena chuckled at how strange it all sounded. “Some people I know can’t get along with people who have a different color of skin than they do. I can’t imagine having a larger kind of difference. How does that work out?” “I think a common goal of wanting a safe place to live helps them rise above all challenges. Once you’ve been here a while, you soon see that the residents of Magic want what all creatures on Earth want—a happy life and a safe place to raise their families. The men in black would never allow these people that level of freedom. Every creature in Magic would be turned into an experiment. Nate and his parents were a family of captured humans. That’s happening more too. Topper heard about them and rescued Nate, but she didn’t get there in time to save the rest of his family.”
