After the girls graduated from the Luna Nova academy, they settled in the Cavendish family home, temporarily, since they were on yet another journey, this time in search of the fertility stone relics, as they were in the middle of the great war, they could not travel using magic portals, since they were closed due to the war period, the witches would have to go to the Himalayas manually, this means taking a broom and flying to the place, which could take a few days depending on the speed. So much so that the girls made sure to leave their bags well packed for this long trip that is sure to take a long time. Because of this some of the girls took this time to love each other in their room before definitely leaving on a trip that would leave them unable to make the love they so much want.
June 11, 1916, The day was dawning at the Cavendish family residence, Diana and Louise were waking up from their room, after the night of love that the two had, the sun rays were beating down on their room, the two girls got up and were dying of sleep, rubbing their eyes to start that day that would be very full. Du Nord is the one who gets up first, she was already naked from the night before and walks to the bathroom, where she gets in the shower and takes a bath, as does Cavendish who does the same and gets in the tub with his girlfriend.
- Today we're going on a trip, baby... Are you ready to get those butterflies? We are going to create some fertility stones and then have our daughter... I thought I would name her Marie, in case I get pregnant first... And you love, what will you name our daughter?
Says Diana as she rubs Louise's back with her own wet body.
- I thought about naming our first daughter Adeleine, our little Addie, it's a name I always thought was cute and it was also the name of the first girl I kissed... It will go very well with our girl.
Says Louise until Diana picks up a sponge and squeezes it harder near Louise's belly.
- It could be a less... Less indecent love... Our daughter's name will be the first woman who kissed you and she'll always think it was me...
Says Diana, a little jealous.
- Ah love, don't be jealous, it's not such a bad story... Adeleine and I were actually quite happy... That love between two girls that was still very early... and innocent, but when they found out... I was sent away, the women of the orphanage said I was making Adeleine unclean and the girl was more favorite than me at that time... While I was with Addie it was a beautiful story to tell love, I am sure our little girl will love to hear about those days I enjoyed with my first girlfriend...
Says Louise.
Diana just huffs a little still jealous, but continued rubbing her wife's back, comforting her from that moment she remembered from childhood, soon after that she gets up from there and changes sides, this time it was Louise who kept rubbing Cavendish's back. After a while the couple finishes with the bath, both girls get some clothes, change to go out on a journey and go to the dining room, where there was a real breakfast banquet waiting for them, as well as some of the other girls who had also woken up.
- Is it going to be every day like this, love?
Says Louise in awe of the food.
- If you want, I can give you all the food in the world, my love will always deserve this banquet, you can be sure, here it is quite normal to have many options of what to eat, since the people in the house have different tastes.
Diana says.
After Diana's explanation, the girls eat again, at least enough to get them out of the Cavendish family residence. After the banquet, the girls gather in the living room where they begin to draw the route they were going to take in those days, which consisted of first going to Egypt on a journey of over 4000 km, from there they would rest and then travel another 2000 km to Persia the next day, from Persia they would rest and again they would travel another 3000 km to where the sacred relic of the magic butterflies is located, so much so that Diana found it strange that most of the girls were wearing coats.
- Girls from here we are going to Egypt, we are not going on the same day to the Himalayas, there is no way we can get there in less than a day, even if it is Louise who can fly at very high speeds, we are talking about a huge distance that covers a good part of the earth, we are flying all the way to East Asia. Not to mention the fact that the time there is different, and that every time we fly over the globe it is as if an hour has been added to the clock.
Diana says.
- You're right Diana, we won't go all at once, so we have time to rest, and we can also take advantage of these different places. I always wanted to visit Egypt and see those pyramids... Well, from what I could tell we are all capable of flying at 300 km/h, right?
Hilda says.
- This is practically our average even, about 200 miles, so I can already understand that the trip we are going to make will take more than half a day at each stop we make, so let's go, I don't want to run the risk of robberies at night, we still have the risk of encountering the great war.
Diana says.
The girls just nod their heads in agreement signaling that they would go, so Diana takes the map, puts it in her bag, the girls get the brooms with the bags, say goodbye to Meredith, and from there they quickly head towards Egypt, where the first stop would be. With an average speed of 300 km/h, it would take them just over 14 hours at that speed, even more so with the time zone that would add some more time to the trip.
They left Edinburgh at 8 o'clock in the morning, took about 13 hours to travel at an average speed of 330 km/h, arriving at 11 o'clock at night in the city of Cairo, which at that time was part of the British Empire, so the girls could still use the pounds that Diana was in hand, so much so that they went to a hotel nearby and from there they settled in to spend the night before leaving again, only Hilda insisted that they enjoy the trip a little to admire the place.
June 12, 1916, the day dawns in Egypt, the girls took the opportunity to go out and that day they took a walk around the place, besides taking some pictures in the pyramids and also near the sphinx, it was practically a day in which they took the opportunity to rest, eat some of the local food, besides some of them were dying of heat with the extremely hot and desert weather of the place. On that day it was a scorching 40ºC (104ºF). After that day of rest where the girls ended up going to the hotel pools to cool off from the heat, they go to sleep and get ready to fly the next day.
June 13, 1916, they leave Egypt at eight o'clock in the morning, heading to Persia, where they arrive in the capital Teheran, arriving there at two o'clock in the afternoon, but as soon as they arrive in the scorching city that was extremely hot, even hotter than Egypt, where they went to a hotel nearby but they didn't accept Diana's pounds, Diana went from hotel to hotel, until she found a place where they bought coins and she exchanged some pounds for Iranian Qian that were worth much less than the British pounds, with this the girls managed to settle in a hotel there and escape a little of that 46 º C heat that was melting the girls.
June 14, 1916, the girls quickly left Persia and flew towards the Himalayas for the last trip they would make after the magic butterflies, the last trip took 12 hours on the last leg, where the girls left Tehran at eight o'clock in the morning and arrived practically at night in Tibet, They had to rest there, but luckily they found a village, in this village there were some witches there, many were even British, so it was a relief, there they settled down and waited until the next night. It was an extreme temperature shock there, since they left the scorching desert and were suddenly in the Himalayas with temperatures close to zero or even below that in the ice-covered mountains.
June 15, 1916, the day dawns in the icy Himalayan mountains, the girls wake up from their rooms, look up at the sky and all they see is a white immensity full of mountains and some darker parts that were parts that were not covered by ice from those elevations.
- Well here we are after four days of travel we will be able to get the last relic, we only have to know exactly where it is located, but luckily this is well recorded on the map that the first Diana left about this place, they say it is a single portion where there is no extreme cold.
Diana says.
- So we just have to find a place that is not white. It will look as if we are finding a needle in a haystack.
Says Louise.
- But we will be able to find it.
Diana says.
- Hey love... What do you say we stop by the British Raj when we get back home, I heard that there is a palace there that was created by an emperor in memory of his dead wife... Such a beautiful proof of love... Would you make a palace for me in case I die, love?
Says Louise.
- Don't even think about that Louise. My world will fall apart if you die... But I'd make it my business to do everything for you, so come on, we'll take some pictures.
Says Diana smiling at Louise.
After this love-filled conversation between Louise and Diana in which the girls just put their hands on their faces thinking it was just too mushy, they go towards the location of Chenoa Ayana's butterflies, they quickly find that place, it was a separate part of all the ice, where there was green vegetation, where it was also a little warmer than all the ice around.
- It wasn't hard to find, it looks like a garden all around with so much white.
Hilda says.
- Well, now we just have to get the butterflies carefully, and remember to get only one per person, if you want more you will have to go through a trial by the spirit of Chenoa Ayana that will see if you are worthy or not of her magic butterflies.
Diana says.
The girls take and place one butterfly each in the jar, so much so that after placing them, they leave with the jars in their bags and return to the hotel, while the spirit of Chenoa Ayana watches them from afar, smiling to see that after many years, some couples have returned to that place to form the fertility stone. As soon as they arrive, they gather for some hot chocolate and talk about the next steps.
- Well, we got the relic the farthest... The next ones are all in Europe, pretty easy to get, even, so let's go from here to Europe, after we travel to see this palace Louise is talking so much about.
Hilda says.
- Yes, it is a good idea, since Florence is on the way back home and after that we will get the magic violets from the Farnese garden and finish with the love stone, once we get everything the fertility stone will be ours.
Diana says.
- We can leave most of the relics in your house before going to Loch Ness, and also in getting the love stone, since your house is the way to these two.
Says Elisabeth.
Diana just agrees, they stay for a while talking and resting, until night comes, where they spend some time sleeping before leaving for the British Raj, where they would visit the palace that Louise said was a huge proof of love and that she really wanted to see, besides also wanting to see some of the culture of that place.
June 16, 1916, on the morning of that day the girls leave for Agra in the British Raj, where they visit the Taj Mahal, taking some pictures, there they also took advantage that it was a place that was under British rule and they could settle down without any problems, using the money that was in Diana's hands. They spend at least 3 days visiting all that territory before leaving back home, part of it was out of interest for that culture, it was something new to them.
On June 19, 1916, the six girls leave the British Raj and take the same way they came back home, to Teheran, then on June 20 to Egypt, and finally on June 21, instead of continuing straight through Europe, the girls decide to stop in Florence, where they will get the last relic, But as they arrived at night they decided to sleep a little and rest before going after the last relic, besides being a little afraid because that part of Europe was still in the great war, especially because that place was in constant conflict between Italy and the Austro Hungarian Empire.
June 22, 1916, the six girls go to where the Meridies family residence used to be, and from there they are met by one of the Meridies who at that time was focused on assembling rifles for the Italian army, and as soon as the girls enter they are looked at by Vivian Meridies who was the matriarch of the family.
- What are you doing here?
Says Vivian in Italian.
- Hey... Easy there... We didn't come here for evil, we are here for the relic that you produce, we come in peace, we are foreigners, but we don't care much for war.
Says Louise in Italian.
- You mean the magic gears? Well, I can pass them on, but it all comes at a cost.
Says Vivian lowering the gun.
- We can cover this cost.
Says Louise.
- 9000 lira for each of the gears, they are unique to the Meridies family. Take it or leave it.
Says Vivian.
- We can pay in British pounds... We are foreigners.
Says Louise until Vivian cracks a smile on her face.
- British? I'll take more than anything! For only £100 I'll sell every single relic!
Says Vivian in English.
- Oh so you can speak our language?
Diana says relieved.
- Well, sterling is very welcome here, since our liras are getting more and more devalued every day... We had to stop our car factory to make room to produce weapons...
Vivian snorts.
Diana pays Vivian with £400 for the gears, so Meridies goes to the inside of her house and brings the four gears to the girls, but before handing them over to the girls, she gets a little suspicious and wanted to know why they bought those relics.
- Why did you buy those relics? You know that with them you can make weapons extremely fast... Being British as far as I can see, so it must be something involving your army in some campaign? I imagine that you have heard about our gear from some legend.
Says Vivian.
- It's nothing to do with war, but rather with love... With these relics from you we can complete the relics of the nine witches and thus form the fertility stone.
Diana says.
- Fertility stone... I've heard of that name... And from what I remember it is the stone that makes lesbians have daughters... Homosexual witches, I never thought anyone would know that, I was kind of raised by a couple like that.
Says Vivian.
- So you have nothing against lesbian witches? And how did she obtain the fertility stones? Since the books telling about the relics have been in my family's possession since forever?
Diana says.
- In the World Broom Racing Championship. The prize for the champions is a fertility stone. I didn't know there was a different way to do it, since the witches who organize the tournament are very restrictive about it, they never tell you how to create one and only give the prize to the champions.
Says Vivian.
The girls then decide to stay there a little longer, becoming interested in the story that Vivian told, but of course she charged £ 5 to tell, since she was in financial difficulties, even revealing that it was not only the mother who was a lesbian, but she herself was also, having 3 daughters fruit of this relationship, where the fertility stones that were used, were the same ones that the mothers had won when they competed in the WBRC. Vivian Meridies is the daughter of Antonia Meridies champion of the 1877, 1879, 1880 and 1881 seasons. Vivian never had the desire or the ability to run with a broom, while her mother had only one daughter as she was betrayed by her wife who was Vivan's second mother. After telling about how the stone of fertility could be won in the broom-racing tournament and also about a bit of her life, the girls say goodbye to the lady.
- Goodbye Mrs. Meridies, it was very nice to meet you.
Says Diana nodding to Louise.
- Now let's go to the house.
Says Louise.
- Right.
Diana says.
On the way the girls were somewhat impressed that Louise was fluent in Italian, as well as how they could get the fertility stone by competing in broomstick races. This sparked an interest in Anne and Elisabeth who wanted to compete a bit, as well as Louise who had this interest before, but due to the Great War the event was over.
See you, traveller witches...
