Lorraine and Gwendolin continued in Luna Nova, as they could not return to Terre Sapphique, after telling Violet about what happened, the two gained the trust of Jordan and also Alice. When their conversation was over, Lorraine said goodbye to Gwen, going to sleep in her team's room, since they couldn't suspect that Morris slept in the red team's room, even more that they would suspect a lot of Diana's absence for those days.
Victoria was flying back to Terre Sapphique and soon noticed that she was being followed by witches of the council, which made her speed up a bit more, flying at a much higher speed to the point that it was difficult for her to be found, until she landed in the city with the fertility stones, reaching the house where Diana was and delivering it to Cavendish.
Diana was talking to Esther, the two were getting along very well, both were assembling weapons, and Cavendish was especially focused on looking at the shape of the projectiles, with the intention of planning something different. Williams also agreed with the idea of the green-haired girl, a projectile that cuts the eye, increasing the speed and lethality of the shots, since the 40 shots given in Julia McLaren were only enough to hurt the redhead a lot. Clearly in the case of their return, the witches would become more resistant to the shots, being necessary an evolution in relation to the projectiles, in the case of the witches that were not so powerful in relation to magical power.
October 24, 1753, the day dawns in Terre Sapphique, the sun rays hit the plants and the houses, the first principles of frost begin to appear, giving the impression that winter was close to happen and that autumn was coming at its coldest moment. Diana and Maria woke up in their room, the two stood up and were wearing sweaters, the Cavendish with a cyan sweater and the Du Nord with a scarlet sweater, the two do personal hygiene and go to the kitchen, where until then they were the first to wake up.
- Apparently we wake up earlier than everyone else...
Says Diana.
- It may be our time to prepare the food together... What do you think?
Says Maria hugging Diana from behind.
- Could be... It's gonna be really cute... I love the idea.
Says Diana kissing Maria she was hugging.
Diana and Maria take the food that was in the pantry and together they prepare breakfast for all the girls of the house, who with time woke up, including Victoria and Esther, after the food was ready, the couple Cavendish Du Nord sits at the table next to the couple McLaren Williams.
- Good morning!
They say all four.
- So Diana, what are we designing today? Have you come up with a more differentiated idea for the projectile that cuts the wind? I've been thinking here and we will also need to design muskets that are compatible enough with this type of ammunition, besides that I also want to understand a little more how these projectiles will work, so I would have an idea of how to make these weapons.
Says Esther.
- Today I will focus on the fertility stones, but I will also project a little more about the ammunition, make some drawings and ideas of how this bullet would work with a different format, since nobody has thought about something like this before.
Says Diana.
Diana and Esther stayed for a long time talking between them about the invention of a firearm with a much greater power, without depending on magic, this while Maria and Victoria looked at the two girls talking and started laughing between them, even finding both girls very similar.
- We dated two addicted to inventing.
Says Maria.
- On one hand it's very good, since Esther invents every thing in bed, hehe, I just enjoy it, inventors are the best girlfriends. So Maria... What are you doing today? We can take advantage that the girls are excited to design and go out in town, buy some things, make a real lunch for when these two get all dirty and tired.
Says Victoria.
- It's a great idea! But they will need a good bath and you know it.
Says Maria.
- In this I am the best, I love bathing my wife.
Says Victoria.
Victoria and Maria soon laugh together, as do Diana and Esther, giving a principle of friendship that would strengthen much between the four. After a while they finish breakfast. McLaren and Du Nord kiss the beloved ones, picking up bags and going to the city to buy something to make food. Cavendish and Williams go to the experiment room, where Cavendish picks up the pot with the fertility stones, as well as the book that contained everything she summarized about the fertility stone. The green-haired girl snaps her fingers, grabs eight fertility stones and places them on a table.
- What do you intend to do with the fertility stones?
Says Esther curious.
- I've been thinking here... My idea is to make these fertility stones come together in one, will merging two fertility stones make me get an improved version?
Says Diana curious scratching her chin.
Diana takes two fertility stones and her wand, starting to join the stones with the spell "fusionae magicae", the two fertility stones start to rotate in the air, until with the time they rotate so much, they end up coming together and emanating a huge glow, Until a red fertility stone appeared, which leaves Diana and Esther stunned, the stone descends to Cavendish's hand and she begins to analyze, the texture was the same, only the power that was felt in the hands was much greater, the magic that emanated from that fertility stone seemed much more powerful.
- How will we know that this fertility stone really works?
Says Esther.
- We will need a fertility stone of that kind that can be used with any witch, if you use an analysis spell and the effect detected is similar, who knows... We just need to find someone with a fertility stone...
Diana says until Esther takes off a necklace with a hidden fertility stone.
- Where did you get this?
Says Diana curious.
- I keep saved since the World Magic Battle Tournament, as an emergency, in case something happens to Victoria I could use the power she has in this fertility stone to cure my wife... I won from Harriet and Freya when I got the third place.
Says Esther taking the fertility stone and putting it on the table.
Diana soon concentrates a little more, she puts the three fertility stones side by side, each one of them different, soon she uses a spell that she analyzes, that she scans for all the effects of the fertility stones, in a way that was necessary for the witch to understand. The purple fertility stone emanated a yellow glow, while the two fertility stones emanated a green glow, giving the impression that the effect was the same, that the functionality of the two was very similar, which made both girls wonder and relieve to see that.
- Did I make it? I did it! Esther! We are bringing a great evolution to the world of witches... Please call some witch here quickly, some couple who want a child! I need to know if it will work!
Says Diana jumping from happiness.
- It could be you and Maria...
Says Esther.
- But we who create, these purple ones only work with us, that's why I want you to call other couples, since you and Victoria are likely to be pregnant...
Says Diana.
Esther only agrees with her head, quickly taking her broom and going to the city of Terre Sapphique, Diana has already fused the other remaining fertility stones, leaving only eight of the purple ones left to make daughters with Maria. Meanwhile, in the main market, Maria and Victoria were buying grain to make food while they talked to each other.
- You and Diana look a lot like me and Esther when we were younger, only Esther was more overprotective, she was always worried about the risks I took, but tell me, how did you meet Diana? How did you get to date?
Says Victoria.
Victoria and Maria spent a long time talking about it, with Du Nord telling in detail about her life, which in fact she is practically like a creative sister to Diana. The two came up with the idea of dating only after a few years, but they always liked each other, they just didn't think they were old enough for it. Esther soon arrives in town, coming across a couple of girls. She approached them one at a time to see if they were interested in participating in an experiment involving the fertility stone. Many ended up just ignoring it and thinking it was silly, or very absurd, until Nora approached Williams.
- Ah hello Esther Williams! Good morning!
Says Nora.
- Good morning...
Says Esther discouraged.
- Oh... What was Esther Williams? Did something happen to you?
Says Nora.
- I'm trying anyway to get some volunteers... Diana Cavendish just made a new version of the fertility stone, but we need someone different, you know... Someone who is volunteering enough to test the efficiency of the fertility stone, we want to know if it will work on other witches besides the ones they created, but nobody here wants to get pregnant, or just discredit...
Says Esther snorting.
- Hm... Are you saying it's a magic stone that can get pregnant? You know I can help, I would accept with tranquility to get pregnant with Wendolin, so yes. I'll just see if Gabriela approves... Is Wendolin one of the girls who... Participated in what you did?
Says Nora.
- Wendolin only gave her blood, didn't participate directly, so she has the probability to get pregnant, but take it easy Nora, Wendolin can have trauma from this kind of thing, which can refer to her past... Well, meet us at the big house, we will wait for you there.
Says Esther with her hand on Nora's shoulder.
Nora says she would go after work to meet the girls taking Wendolin along, Esther takes her broom and goes back to the big house where Diana was leaving the fertility stones stored and separated, organized by color, as soon as Williams arrives at Cavendish smiling.
- Did you make it?
Says Diana.
- Good news Diana, we got a girl to help us with the experiments... Nora Perkins and Wendolin Benson will be the first mothers of Terre Sapphique.
Says Esther.
- How wonderful! But about being the first mothers I don't know... I'm going to have sex with Maria today and we're going to get pregnant with one of the fertility stones... I want to test something they didn't test until today, will it be that if I use two fertility stones... Are twin witches born? I have always had this curiosity, besides wanting to register if it is possible, as a way to help future generations, I want to give a wider knowledge around the fertility stone, I want things to be better for the future.
Says Diana.
- So good luck, but don't you think you're too young to be a mother?
Says Esther.
- No... My mother had me at 17, what's wrong with being a mother at the same age as her? I have nothing to lose, I'm making an effort for science... My real fear is that Maria will get pregnant, but I will do my best to help her if that happens.
Says Diana.
- Didn't you think of that possibility? The fertility stone doesn't choose so much who will get pregnant.
Says Esther.
- Good with time we will see this, now let's put aside and focus a little on designing stronger firearms.
Says Diana.
Esther agrees with the head, the two take several sheets with drawings of the designs they made regarding the shape of the bullets and also how they would get a more resistant material, this while Williams also thought of a gun design that shoots more than a single bullet at a time, until after much reflection Cavendish thought of something.
- The Meridies! They're smart enough witches! If I'm not mistaken, they can help us! Let's go there tomorrow!
Says Diana until Esther interrupts her.
- I'll go, if it's to go, the dust hasn't lowered yet with you, let's wait a while, you're still wanted.
Says Esther.
Diana just agrees that Esther was right, so she decides to postpone a bit in calling the Meridies to Terre Sapphique, since they have in hand the great knowledge of Hera Meridies, which could help them in projects around firearms.
The time goes by, while away from there, in Luna Nova, the classes were happening normally, only that something interrupted the classes, was the personal presence of Mildred Berger with the witches of the council, they were entering room by room with the director Tyrrell, until they arrived in the room of the red team where Lorraine and Gwendolin were, the two were talking between themselves, since they were suspended.
- Well done! Have any of you seen Diana Cavendish? I'm going to interview one by one, if I may, I need to do it because I have a report from Julia McLaren to Diana Cavendish, a wanted criminal.
Says Mildred.
- Lorraine Morris! Gwendolin Benson! Attend the board immediately!
Says Catherine.
Lorraine and Gwendolin were sweating cold because of Mildred's appearance and as they quickly discovered Diana's whereabouts, they soon went to the board of directors, being followed by Mildred and the group of witches from the council. The two were extremely terrified, especially by Berger's enormous magical power, they could barely move a muscle. As soon as they arrive, the director starts to catch a crystal ball and demands explanations.
- Well done! I will not repeat! I want to know exactly what happened in the days that came out! It is not possible that you are so silly as not to know about Diana Cavendish being a wanted criminal! So you'd better be honest.
Says Catherine.
- If you are sincere we won't arrest you, not even if you are lesbians...
Says Mildred.
The girls start to use the crystal balls and soon they start to show the memory that was real about what had really happened, but still Lorraine was managing to manipulate, she created a whole false story, where Diana kidnapped them next to Saoirse and wanted to make them arm them for a crime, so they would be wrongly accused. Besides the fact that Maria ended up running away from them and never returned to Luna Nova, preferring to live elsewhere for fear of Diana Cavendish and Saoirse. As the story was very true, they even managed to make everyone around them believe, until after presenting that story, Mildred looks at Gwendolin's face.
- You look like someone... I've seen you before... You must be Wendolin Benson's sister.
Says Mildred.
- Yes I am... My sister disappeared a few months ago... I'm not where she ended up... I've been trying to find her ever since.
Says Gwendolin.
- Hmmm... Well it wasn't you, but I have to say that your hair is similar to Saoirse, except that you are the sister of a former hunter who was reported missing, along with those events of that masked, it's very suspicious, let's let it go for now... Now we will need to hear about the other witches here.
Says Mildred.
The director releases Gwendolin and Lorraine, but as soon as the two leave, the two witches are still a little terrified, they all left the room and soon after the couple Morris Benson just took a walk waiting for the women to leave, but still had a witch security at the door of the board.
- Gwen... They will listen to Alice and Violet... They talked to us yesterday... We revealed everything to them... What do we do?
Whispers Lorraine.
- Loris, let's become insects entering the board and manipulate all the visions of the crystal ball... It's either that or run away, But we can't, the power of that blonde is so immense that she doesn't even make a point of hiding, she can catch us anyway, we have to do it Lorraine, Even if we manage to run away, it will be the end for Alice and Violet.
Whispers Gwendolin.
- I don't know if I'll have the magic power for it, but I'll try... It's the only way...
Whispers Lorraine.
Lorraine and Gwendolin are transformed into ants, entering the board, soon after they are transformed back to the human form, the two are hidden in strategic places. Gwen watched who arrived, Lorraine was in absolute control of the crystal ball, and Benson would give the signal for Morris to use her magic. The students went in one at a time, until Violet and Alice arrived, the memories of the two are modified, and even their own are surprised, but also relieved to know that they got away with it.
- Very well, it seems that the words of Gwendolin and Lorraine hit, they were speaking the truth, but it is very strange the reaction of the two of you, did you think that we would reveal something more?
Says Mildred.
- A little bit...
Says Violet.
- You can go girls, we just need to call one more...
Says Catherine.
- We have to call your daughter... It is good that she cooperates with us, because we do not want her to be arrested.
Says Mildred while the director was sweating cold.
Gwendolin and Lorraine whisper among them and decide to save Heather's skin, as well as that of many abused girls from the academy who would be arrested if they were discovered as much of the relationships that were made with them. Until the Tyrrells left there relieved, because of the interviews, Mildred decides to leave there since she wouldn't have any suspicion. Even getting a little frustrated.
Later, Nora and Wendolin go to the big house, the two girls take one of the fertility stones and test it on themselves, Diana even tells that there is a more asexual method, which Perkins decides to use in order not to cause any trauma, the two were holding hands and with the fertility stone shining until one of them ended up being the chosen one. Very different from Diana and Maria who left for the traditional method, only using two purple fertility stones.

Until she ended up staying at the orphanage where the Bensons were, there the girl made a lot of friendship with all the girls, besides discovering that many of them were hiding there, with the exception of Wendolin, who was the most behaved, even because of this Nora ended up liking her more, the two of them even managed to leverage a courtship that didn't last long, since Nora's family found her and captured her, calling the group of hunting witches "The fertility stone" so that Perkins could be captured.
