After that fateful day when Margaret tried to run away and ended up hours later returning to her family's residence after she tried to grab Diana by force, a lot of things changed from that day on. She recovered after a while and Keith gave the order that she would never leave the Ford family mansion again, or she would pay dearly, if she could, since he decided to hire witches from the council to watch the house, besides giving her an outfit that prevented the brunette from using magic more easily and leaving the security guards with clothes that gave them an advantage, increasing their magic power.
That would cause a contrary effect with time, since Margaret's motivation was so great that even all restricted it didn't take long for her to defeat the first security guard hired by Keith and from there she fled to the Cavendish family residence, but when she got near there she also noticed that she couldn't pass through the force field that was in the surroundings of the mansion. And she couldn't even make it that easy, since it required an extremely high magical power to be able to overcome the same amount as a sorceress stone, it was practically the equivalent of 500 witches, which is humanly impossible to achieve, only immortal witches can pass this point of power. But even so, Ford never gave up, she saw it as a barrier she could reach, she noticed that the witches she defeated to escape were somehow helping her to become more and more powerful, she started to use her father's weapon to her own benefit and kept using these witches' security guards and clothes that restricted magic and movement to put herself on a higher and higher level and become an extremely powerful witch, she used the beatings she got when her father came back from his trip as a test of endurance, she even developed some extra strength from this.
As the years went by, Margaret became more and more bitter and spoiled as well, she was no longer the sweet and cuddly girl she used to be, but a cruel, cold, merciless person, who did not have an ounce of kindness, so much so that the witches hired by Keith suffered a lot at the hands of Ford who attacked them with anger, with cruelty, they were very powerful witches who were scared to death of a teenage girl. So much so that Keith was recommended to hire more than one because one could not handle his daughter alone, no matter how powerful. Margaret couldn't appreciate anyone anymore, she only wanted one thing, Diana Cavendish in her arms and nothing else, she didn't care about anything around, she even became a little bit like her father, thinking she was the queen of the world and all people should fear her, she became intimidating and cruel, with a huge accumulated hatred.
Diana over the years remained the same person, but she was always worried about Margaret, always thinking about her friend, if she was okay, worried about the mistreatment she suffered, still thinking also about that day, if it was just a sudden impulse of her friend to have grabbed her by force, or if it really was that intention for pure possession by Ford's side. She just wanted it all to be over and she could see her friend again, even more that she wanted to see her well, good old Margaret. During this time Cavendish was dedicating herself to studying magic, to one day enter the Luna Nova witch academy when she was 15.
Margareth suffered too much in those years, each time that passed, it was more and more witches hired, Ford was getting extremely powerful and strong because of her own father trying to stop her from learning magic and becoming a powerful witch, but the brunette's insistence was greater, she didn't give up, she was managing to hold her own against 10 witches, fighting alone and still defeating them, Even because of this Keith was getting more and more pressured by the same witches, the council became more and more afraid of sending the witches to work for Keith Ford "Don't accept Keith Ford's proposals, they may seem tempting, but it's not worth it, it's not just a girl, that Margaret is a monster, she's not worth the money he's paying to hold her, trust me". Until one day came when the man hired the most elite witches in the council security, trained witches, extremely powerful and strong witches, who dedicated years of their lives to be in that position, a single witch was practically like hiring 10 ordinary witches.
Again Margaret over time made fun of these witches, first Keith hired one and on the same day she was defeated, then he hired two and it didn't take long for his daughter to defeat them, then he decided to hire the whole package which was eight extremely qualified witches, But what he didn't expect was that the girl defeated them too, this when they were all fighting together, the brunette was very smart about her training and this was the last resource Ford had to stop Margaret from leaving the house, but even so, she couldn't have enough magical power to pass through the magical force field. Keith eventually discovered that he could no longer hire security witches since none could hold the daughter who defeated them all, she was the most powerful witch in the world practically.
Keith couldn't stand his daughter being reckless anymore, he couldn't punish her on her own, nothing hurt the girl anymore, she became too strong and resistant, he couldn't cause any pain to Margaret, he was angry with all that and tried to get some satisfaction from his daughter, but she just didn't give a shit and became extremely angry with her father's offenses. Keith Ford committed suicide on August 15, 1912, nobody knows for sure if it was really a suicide since he stabbed himself with 14 stab wounds before he died, but according to what was reported in the crystal ball proofs, he really killed himself, but it was still a very suspicious death, nobody knows for sure if it was really a suicide, or if it was set up to look like one. Margaret ended up becoming the rightful successor to the Ford family fortune, but since she was only 13 years old, she could not have total control, which became in the hands of one of her father's trusted men before she turned 18. Because of this, the girl decided to join the Luna Nova witch academy, since she could finally learn magic without her father restricting her and was free to do whatever she wanted.
September 1, 1913, In the town of Blightonbury, Diana was also beginning her studies at Luna Nova, starting to enter the first year to become a trained witch, until she suddenly ends up bumping into a girl with long straight red hair with some curls, the girl was distracted and accidentally made them both fall down sitting on the floor and with that Cavendish went to try to find her glasses, since she couldn't see very well.
- Pardon! I mean... Sorry.
Says the girl with a French accent.
- My glasses! Where are they!
Diana says as she gets on all fours trying to find her glasses on the floor.
The red-haired girl manages to find Diana's glasses and quickly picks them up, handing them to the girl, saying with a rather French accent, "They're here, excuse me," Cavendish takes them and puts them on and the first thing she sees is the face of the beautiful French girl with red hair and freckles on her face, with a kinder, cuter way about her, she soon smiles at the Scottish girl.
- Sorry about the accident, my name is Louise Du Nord, and yours?
Says Louise smiling at Diana.
- My name is Diana Cavendish, nice to meet you. I can tell by your accent that you're French. Right?
Says Diana rubbing the back of her neck.
- Oui, Oui, I am from a village in northern France called Loperéc, which is near the ruins of an old abandoned city called Terre Sapphique, and has a whole history where I live.
Says Louise rubbing the back of her neck.
Diana and Louise are soon approached by another girl, this one a short German girl with medium black hair and teal green eyes, she even seemed to be somewhat familiar with Louise as she came in putting her arm over the French girl.
- Guten tag witches! Oh and hello Louise! Clumsy as always hein girl, not for nothing you ended up tripping and almost broke the cabbage head glasses next to you. Sorry about my friend.
Says the German girl.
- Hilda! Did you also come to study at the Luna Nova academy? How incredible!
Says Louise.
- Yay! I got one of the two foreign student slots they had, apparently the academy only accepted British students, but I was lucky, I was one of those who applied for the slot and got the best grade, oh and cabbage head my name is Hilda Von Braunschbank, I came from the German Empire.
Says Hilda introducing herself to Diana.
Diana also introduces herself to Hilda who is impressed since she had heard about the Cavendish family and also a bit about the Du Nord family that had a connection to the story about Terre Sapphique and also a bit about the great flying Scot named Maria Du Nord in the past. From there the three go to the square in the tower that leads to the Ley line, which leads to Luna Nova's academy.
Far away there was a girl in Luna Nova uniform, a brunette who was wearing binoculars and looked like she was spying on the three girls, that person was Margaret, who was a little more stocky, and also a little more bitter, she looked especially disgusted at the redheaded girl named Louise.
- (Ah, so Diana is also studying in Luna Nova? How wonderful... But what about this little redheaded girl? What is this little bitch doing taking a shine to my Diana's side! She'd better stay the hell away from my girl! Damn her! Well, at least my girl is around here, this is going to be very interesting, after three years I will be able to see my little baby... After that day I never thought the same way again... That face of Diana... I can't hold her like that, I have to have her consent... It won't be nice to grab her by force, well I will try my best to win her heart and it won't be a French girl who will get my Diana).
After spying on the three girls, Margareth ends up going to the square where the access to Luna Nova was, going to the portal in Ley's line, through which she soon passes to the academy and was somewhat grumbling still because she was following Diana the whole time and she kept walking and talking to the other girls.
Until it comes time for the opening ceremony of Luna Nova, the principal Miranda Holbrooke starts talking about the new students, about a new year that was starting, about how they had future talents, witches that would become great witches in the future and that cliché speech that every principal usually makes at the beginning of the year. Holbrooke was so far only in the third year of her career since she started in 1910, having a lot of help from her right hand man who was Professor Denise McLaren of complex magic.
After the presentation of the beginning of a new year, the three newcomers are taken to the principal's office, which was the trio that had met earlier in Glastonbury, from there they are given three boxes with their uniforms and are also instructed by teacher McLaren about the rules.
- Very well girls, welcome to Luna Nova, I hope you have read the academy's rule book, because I'm not going to explain every rule in detail, but I will refresh your memory on the main rules of our academy. You can only leave with the permission of a teacher or the principal, the morning classes are from 9:00 to 11:30, you will have a break of one and a half hours for lunch from 11:30 to 1:00 in the afternoon, after this break you will start the morning classes from 1:00 to 3:30. There are five hours of class a day, After class you have a period of free circulation in the corridors, which goes from 3:30 until 7:00 at night, after this period, all students should only walk in the dormitory corridors, it is strictly forbidden to go in the class corridors during this hour, unless it is an emergency, fairies with flashlights keep watch in the corridors after this hour. Until eleven o'clock at night students can walk freely in the dormitory corridors, but after that time all students must be in their respective dormitories.
Denise says until Hilda raises her hand.
- What happens if we stay outside?
Hilda says.
- you are transported by a fairy back to your team dorm, and you also get a note, so be careful with this, three notes gets you detention, in detention you stay after school in the detention room, so behave, if you don't obey anyway, suspension is given, you are out of class for a set amount of time and being out of class can lower your attendance grade a bit, don't forget that during the suspension you cannot leave your team's dormitory, if you circumvent the suspension, you will take a note, after you take three notes I will call your parents or guardians for a conversation about your behavior, if you continue like this you will be expelled, this is basically how it works if you do something wrong... Ah, and we also have a limited number of absences and tardies, miss 25 times in a subject and you will be considered failing, tardies are more lenient and you can be late up to 50 times, absences can be discounted if there is an excuse and it is approved. So, welcome to the academy, I am Professor Denise McLaren of Complex Magic. Study hard because I will help you on your journey to become an amazing witch.
Says Denise smiling at the three of them.
The three girls pick up the boxes with the uniforms and are told that they are going to the red team's room and halfway there Diana accidentally runs into the blue team's trio and in their midst was a familiar face which causes her to drop the box on the floor and hug the person, it was Margaret.
- Margareth!
Diana says, hugging Margaret.
- Diana You came. How nice to see you here... I missed you so much...
Says Margaret pulling away from the hug and smiling at Diana.
- I didn't know you came to Luna Nova. How did you come if your father never allowed you to be a witch? He changed his mind...
Diana says until Margaret completes it.
- He died Diana, he died a year ago now, I would say finally, that good-for-nothing went to hell where he belongs, a bastard, son of a bitch... So after he died I came here, I can't have control over Ford's fortune because I'm not 18 yet, so I had to either go to the orphanage or to a boarding school, I can have the whole fortune if I graduate... But let's leave that aside, I just want to know about you Diana... I can't believe I'm going to see so much of you... I've waited years for this day.
Says Margaret with her hand on Diana's shoulder.
- Looks like that day has come then, I'm going to stay here until I graduate, these are my roommates, Hilda and Louise, I was chosen to be on the red team, apparently they are the only two foreigners in the whole academy, since there are only British students or students that are part of the whole empire territory. Anyway... I'm off, Margaret, we'll meet up later if you like, I have a lot to discuss with you.
Says Diana waving to Margaret and walking straight past her.
Diana walks past Margaret with her friends and Ford is a little unresponsive as she feels the touch of Cavendish's delicate hands running over her face, the Scottish woman goes to her room with Louise and Hilda while the brunette stands like a statue, until her friend named Elisabeth McLaren, the daughter of Professor Denise and her other friend named Anne Williams, Elisa's girlfriend, snap their fingers together.
- Margareth?
They both say until Margaret comes to her senses.
- What? What the fuck is this?
Says Margareth getting furious.
- The Scottish girl over there left you with a little bit of a fag, I didn't know you could be like that for someone, in the midst of all the bitterness there is someone sweet.
Elisabeth laughs, until Margaret takes her by the collar and threatens her.
- Listen here Elisabeth! Be quiet and don't irritate me! Yes! I stay like this with Diana, because she's the one destined only for me! She's my better half! She's only mine! My Diana Cavendish!
Says Margareth determined.
- Okay. Let's go Anne.
Says Elisabeth shrugging and walking away from Margaret.
- I'm staying with Margaret, she asked me for a favor...
Says Anne looking down.
- Okay, do what you have to do my love, let's not question Margaret's authority, that crazy woman never tires of beating us, I'll go to the library for a while.
Says Elisabeth.
Elisabeth goes towards the library, while Anne goes with Margaret to the blue team's room, where Ford was already looking at her with a thirsty look, a more malicious look. Diana, Louise and Hilda begin to settle into their new room where they were to stay to start the year as students at the Luna Nova witch academy.
See you, Luna Nova witches...

Diana Cavendish III was the third Diana of the Cavendish family, unlike the other two who succeeded each other, this was a different one, who was born many decades after the second one died, without even the second one knowing about the third one's mother. She was the result of a relationship between Alice Cavendish II and Herald Morris, the girl is the youngest child of the family, since she had a sister 13 years older named Meredith, who always took care of her with love and care, even more after she lost her parents in an accident that they suffered returning by carriage from a trip from Glasgow. Since then the girl has been taken care of by her older sister, who raised her with much love and care, Meredith has always made a point of helping with all the magic powers of her younger sister who was incredibly talented. She is a very sweet and gentle person, as well as always being very straight and methodical, and endowed with enormous patience. The girl has always been a lesbian, even more so because Meredith has always encouraged her with the story of the fertility stone. Diana had a best friend since childhood who was Gabrielle Benson's daughter, little Margaret Ford who suffered because of her cruel father.
