"Boop! Hola, Mama! You haven't heard from me in a while. It's been a week and a half since I well… destroyed the portal home…. But I had to. Emperor Belos was gonna kill Eda if I didn't hand it over. But I couldn't let him use it, so I blew it up with some magic fire…." I rubbed my forehead.../p

I closed my eyes, I felt someone poking my nose, I opened my eyes and saw Ellie. "It's alright Luz, I'll explain everything to her later." She smiled at me with that beautiful smile… she really is breathtaking… I think I can sense my face was getting red, so I decided to grab my phone so I could bring Ellie into view./p

Ellie is right here!" "Hi!" Ellie waved. "Anyway, this world is filled with inexplicable magic wonders, like this portal key. I don't know if it contains magic, but I'm gonna study all I can!" Ellie places a hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry, I'll take care of her. And not to mention I'll teach her some of my magic!" Ellie started demonstrating her magic. "Yeah! Ellie has been getting great with her magic! And I'll try my best to learn everything from her and find our way back home…" I said the last part hesitantly because I don't think there's any way we can get home without a portal…/p

Ellie lifts her leg up to show King. "I'm never letting you guys go! You're never returning to the human realm!" Ellie grabs King and starts hugging him. "He doesn't mean that." "Yes, I do!" I covered the camera. I ran downstairs, so I could show mom to Eda, Ellie and King followed me along the way. I found her trying to do some magic. "This is Eda the Owl Lady, the most powerful witch on the Boiling Isles!" I pointed the camera at Eda./p

Ellie made herself seen in the video while holding King. "Until her curse overpowered her and weakened her magic." I looked at Eda who was doing some magic but sadly the Apple blood popped and scattered all around the area. Ellie started cleaning the chunks off her face. "Well, she's trying her best." I turned the camera to Lilith. "Eda was cursed by her own sister, Lilith. And she spent her entire life looking for a way to do it. It's still hard for everybody to trust each other, but maybe with time we can all become friends."/p

Ellie and King start laughing. "Even though Eda gets frustrated, she finds new ways to make up for her lost powers." I turned the camera to Eda. "Check it Kiddos! A new hunting weapon! I will call her the stab-catcher!" Ellie pops into view and starts explaining. "Because the portal is destroyed, Eda has no human junk to sell, so we started doing weird jobs in order to put food on the table."/p

Did you know that apple is a hat?" I saw King climb on top of Ellie's head. "Really?" He jumped off her head and grabbed the apple from the ground and placed it on top of his head. Eda started aiming at King. "NOO! MY BABY!" Ellie ran over to King and knocked him out of the way, I looked back to the camera, "This week, we were bounty hunters. Next week we could be anything. So, Mom, please don't be scared. I'm growing more and more every day, and I have Ellie here to back me up and protect me. I'm gonna do my best to become a full-fledged witch and get home to you safe and sound. Te Quiero, Mama. Te lo primeto, regresadre a casa pronto."

I sighed in frustration. "Yeah, I'm really worried about her.." "Don't worry your mom is one of the coolest people I know, I'm pretty sure she'll be fine." I smiled at her, "Thanks Ellie.." "Don't sweat it." I looked at her dreamlike. "Ellie! Luz!" Ellie looked at the door, "Come on." Ellie walked out of the house, I started to fan my face a little bit, I walked outside./p

How did they catch them this quick? "It's time to bring these bad boys to market!" I looked back at Lilith who had some feathers on her. "Eda, do you own anything that isn't covered in feathers!?" "I had to deal with a curse for 30 years, so I think you can handle a few feathers."/p

I looked at Eda with sympathy… Mama Eda has really been through a lot..she ended up kicking a monster. We made our way to the bounty area./p

He took the coin and snapped it in half. "Hey! What the hell man?" I walked over to him but I immediately got stopped by Eda and Luz. Eda placed her arm in front of me while Luz grabbed my arm. "Ellie I got this. Do you know who I am?!" Eda glared at him./p

"Awkward…" I looked at whoever said that and glared at them. "Shut up!" Eda pulled out her wanted poster. "I don't need your pity! I was the most wanted criminal for years. You should fear me!" "No magic? Not wanted anymore " He walked away./p

At least my image still commands respect and fear." She pointed at her poster, which burst into flames by a man walking by. I felt something climbing up my arm and then made its way to my head, it turns out it was just King. "You're a traitor!" He started laughing his tail off, "Ellie hold me!" He jumped off my head and I caught him before he hit the ground./p

"What's going on? This is anarchy!" I started thinking, Lilith didn't you kind of save us last time? Like, what? "Who told you to do this!" Randomly out of nowhere new posters came out of nowhere and slammed themselves onto the wall, and it had a picture of this guy called The Golden Guard. Luz walked up to the poster and analyzed the picture./p

Did you know him in the Coven, Lilith?" She snatched the picture from her. "Unfortunately, I did. He always got special treatment because he was a genius prodigy." I looked at the ground and started thinking about my dad.. he always wanted me to be a prodigy but sadly I never lived up to the expectations…. And I started to get angry, just a little bit. Lilith pulled me from my thoughts with her whiny voice./p
p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 24px; font-size: 18px; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 24px; padding: 0px;" data-p-id="98a8c4911cca0f259cb6a0f15b759564""But he's really just a brat! If he's in charge… vomit." She threw the paper onto the ground, but then the paper immediately flew into the air and smacked onto her face. I'm pretty sure she was angry but I couldn't tell because her voice was muffled. Luz randomly pulled me into a hug with Eda. "Hey, I know. What we need is a confidence boost. Why don't we take on the biggest bounty we can find? It'll be great!" I started thinking and yeah, It would put food on the table, and maybe this will cheer them up./p

That's not a bad idea! We would have enough for spending needs and food!" Luz smiled at me, she immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me to the Bounty list. "Lost Cerberus, no. Witch cackling lessons?" Luz cleared her throat and started cackling. I placed my hand on her shoulder. "You still need a little work." I looked at the board. "Hey what about the "Selkidomus" it's a creature from the ocean! Oh My God!" I immediately became happy, I love Pirate adventures, I have all the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, just because that franchise takes place in the ocean! I started grabbing Luz's hands and shaking them back and forth./p

I let go of her hands and pointed to the sky. "I've never seen you this excited before." I turned to face her. "I always wanted to be a pirate… well it plays second to being a wizard of course." Eda placed her hand on my head. "Hmmm… No." I looked at her in shock…. "What?" "We gotta keep a low profile while my powers are weekend. And we need fast cash. How about this guy?" She pointed at one poster that had a reward of 600./p

"No, no, no. I hear it's very dangerous. And look there he is!" Huh….. it's just a little kid with a lollipop, but then he started running. "You'll never catch me!" He made his way over to the statue of my dad, why does this jerk bag have a statue? It's beyond me. When he climbed up to the top, I got up there pretty quickly and I pushed him into Luz's arms. "You caught me…"/p

We are really in a rough patch here.. I looked over and saw Eda talking to Lilith, so I decided to eavesdrop on them. "Things aren't looking great, Lily. This bounty hunting stuff isn't putting food on the table." Lilith mumbles in response./p

"No Apple blood. I spent the money on griffin eggs for them. There's not a lot she can digest here. So I make sure to have her favorites around."/p

"That's rough dude." King grabbed the hiss lollipop and pushed him away, "Get outta here!" He snuggled up to my side, Luz sat right next to me. "This is awful. Eda wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for me.." I looked at Luz. "You mean us. It's my fault too." Luz smiled a second and then immediately frowned./p

She looked very depressed... I immediately grabbed her shoulders, "Look it's not too late to make this right. We can take that Bounty job, and make a whole lot of snails, and then Eda can get all the apple blood she wants!" She smiled at me. "Yeah, we're gonna help Eda and prove that we're more than a burden!" I grabbed her hand, snatched the wanted poster, and slammed it onto the barrel./p

After doing a few more chores the captain decided to make an announcement. "Well, ye had me confront my own biases and I got nothing but respect for ya both now. I mean sailors." I started to smile. "We won't let you down, captain. Arghe." "Thanks, Salty. You make us feel like we're part of the crew. Well that's because yah both arghe!" Everyone started laughing, I smiled at Luz, and she smiled at me. "Hey.. where's King?" I started to think, "Eh he probably went to go get some crackers."/p

"Vine magic!" I noticed Luz and I said it at the exact same time, but aside from that we used the vines to capture her, finally, the captain and our crewmates decided to help us out. "Help them, boys! Put your backs into it!"/p

I squinted my eyes and saw somebody grabbing the prize money and making haste. "Us that a- a ghost pirate?! The money! We're being robbed!" Oh, I don't think so. I jumped off the boat. "ELLIE!" I kept throwing ice pillars so I wouldn't touch the water. After a few pillars, I jumped off my last pillar and I was about to freeze this person, but all of a sudden somebody pushed me, knocking me into the thief, and the three of us crashed onto the sand./p

I looked back to see Luz making her way over to us. "Luz why did you knock me down?" I looked at her confused and a little angry, she looked down. "I didn't want you to get hurt.. and when you just jumped off the boat I was worried…" I started to understand a little bit./p

Luz placed her hand on my shoulder to calm me down, I decided to calm down and let her do the talking. "Why are you our ship? And what happened to your legs?" Luz pointed out, Eda's legs automatically made their way to Eda. "It's called 'disgusting your tracks'." I looked at her in confusion. She got her legs back on and stood tall, she made her way over to us. "Now why were you two on that ship to begin with? You guys would have gotten killed!" I crossed my arms and looked at her with a glare./p

"That can still be arranged." I turned around to see a guy in a golden knight attire… wait, is this… The Golden Guard? "Hello, criminals. What's about to happen should be relatively painless, if you just do what I say." Luz crossed her arms. "Why would we do that?" "Because none of you use real magic." Eda put her hand on my shoulder and yelled directly into my ear. "You don't know that!" I turned around to face her. "Eda! My flipping ears!" I turned around to face the loser in a cheap Halloween get-up./p

Eda and Luz were freaking out but I simply just stepped my foot onto the ground releasing frost everywhere. I'm guessing he must have been shocked. "Ahh, Ellie Rodriguez.. daughter of Jameson Rodriguez." I snarled at him. "Don't say his name in my presence." Eda placed her hand on my shoulder while Luz grabbed my hand. Okay, the human will remain a sailor to repay all the money they lost, while the Owl Lady and the daughter of Jameson will be arrested." "What am I arrested for?" "Daddy wants to see you again." I started grinding my teeth. "I'd rather be dead, why are you arresting Eda?" "For attacking an Emperor ship."/p

Luz and I turned to Eda hoping for an explanation. "They're the only one worth robbing. Why are you guys hurting the Selkidomus? It's a peaceful creature, and you're provoking it!" The Golden Dork shrugged his shoulders. "The Emperor ordered me to slay one. I'm just following orders. Well, I'm just gonna smack you around a little bit." In one swift motion, Eda used her detached arm and tried to attack him, but somehow he tripped her causing her to land on her face. "Leave Eda alone!" Luz tried using her fire magic, only for her to get hit by sand and end up getting washed out like Eda. I was the only one standing./p

"Choose your next movements very carefully…" I glared at him, he gripped his staff tightly, "How about I dangle your loved ones above the boiling sea?" He used his magic to grab Eda and Luz and dangled them above the sea. I snarled at him deeply… He looked at Luz and Eda. "Around these parts, just the steam is enough to cause third-degree burns. But I don't have to be that mean." "And if you want to still keep your head, I recommend you stay being 'nice.' He was confused so he turned to his right and saw an Ice spear I summoned when he wasn't looking, he looked down to see that a bit of him was frozen in place./p

He threw a sword at my feet, I placed my hand on the left side of my hip, and I looked at him with an unamused expression. I pushed the Ice spear into his face some more, it didn't touch his face well not yet at least… he groaned at the situation so he lifted up the case that he's been carrying. "Just go or I'll drown the bird.." He pulled the shade back and it turns out he kidnapped King./p

He dropped the shade. "Ah, it's dark now." I started to smirk.. that's my adorable little goober, after realizing that I don't really have much of a choice... I'm gonna have to play along with this game. "Place Eda and Luz back onshore." "Do you think you can unfreeze me so I can do it?" I looked at his body and he was only frozen to his neck. He can still move his arms. "You can still move your arms." He sighed, he used his magic to thrust Eda and Luz back onshore. I grabbed the sword he threw at me a couple of seconds ago. "Alright." I started walking. "Ellie!" "Wait, Ellie!" I heard Eda and Luz call out for me.. but I didn't listen, the sooner we get this over with, the better./p

"And I know you want to do things on your own to prove that you're not weak, especially to him, but it doesn't hurt to get a little bit of help. Especially from the people who care about you."

I started to think and oh my god… I pushed her off me and stood on my feet. "LUZ NOCEDA, YOU HAVE A DIRTY MIND!" Luz stops giggling and jumps onto her feet.

I wouldn't budge so she ended up cupping my face and forcing me to look at her. "Don't you think about him, don't you think about him for another second… don't need to prove anything to him and no matter what trouble you get yourself into… we'll always be there to back you up. Especially me and Luz." I swear I was on the verge of crying… I looked at Luz who was smiling at me. A few tears dripped down my face... "Come here." I immediately cried into Eda's shoulder, and I stayed like that for a couple of seconds./p

"I'm sorry…" She wrapped her arms around my neck. "It's alright Ellie." After a couple of seconds, we finally managed to calm ourselves down and try to come up with a plan. "Okay with that out of the way, there's gotta be a way out of this where no one has to get hurt." As we started thinking we heard a random moan, so I looked down and saw a baby Selkidomus. Luz gasps "Eda, do you want to learn your first glyph?" She brought out her light glyph. My little Luz is growing up./p

"Weh?" he started walking in circles again, he dropped the shade and started laughing. "You're actually weirdly endearing." "No, I'm not."/p

When in actuality they were just screaming, grunting, and using some magic. Ellie came out holding onto it, Luz covered her nose and mouth. The guy took one sniff and almost gagged. "Oh, that thing smells awful. Why are you touching it with your hands? Gross…" Ellie rolled her eyes. "You're such a puss." Luz jumped out of nowhere. "And you're really gross! Now give us King." "Actually he smells pretty bad too, take him." /p

"You should be grateful I'm not taking you to your father with your head disconnected from your body." Ellie growled a little bit, Luz stepped in front of Ellie, "You got what you wanted, now get out of here!" Luz snarled at the guard, he jumped on his staff, "By the way, it's not just Samson you should worry about, The Emperor is not a merciful man.. later."/p

The two go back to see Eda making light out of paper like Luz and Ellie did when they first arrived. "My first glyph. Did I do good?" Eda looked at Ellie and Luz. "You did great Eda, you did great." Ellie walked up to Eda and gave her a hug which Eda happily accepted. Luz looked at the heart-warming moment, only for it to get interrupted by the whales of the baby Selkidomus. It crawled up to Luz, who put the birdcage down and gave it a hug./p

"Wait, WHAT IS THAT?!" King immediately started to freak out. "Don't worry, King. Once the mother saw we weren't a threat to her baby, she calmed down." Eda turned to the Selkidomus, "This area is dangerous. You need to move further out into the sea." Eda smiled at the beast, the beast started gagging until it threw up a whole log of shiny coins./p

"Hot dang! It gave you the treasure of the sea." Luz analyzed it, "Gold? Tuna?" Ellie cringed at the sight of it, "Snot?" King shuddered, "Ew.. gross…" Eda had the stuff in her hands. "It's selkigris. Ah! People pay big money for it at the night market! Ah, feel that money!" Eda squished the money onto Luz's cheeks "No Eda!" Ellie started to laugh. "I don't know why you're laughing because you're up next!" Eda made her way over to Ellie who was running around trying to avoid her. "Luxuriate in it. What, you don't like to luxuriate? There's a whole pile of luxury right in here."/p

Please, No, no, no, no, no!" Eda pushes Luz into the selkigris, but she ends up landing on top of Ellie. After opening her eyes, Luz discovered that Ellie caught her midway, Ellie smiled with some red on her cheeks. "You okay, Lu Lu?" Luz immediately started blushing, so she pushed herself off of Ellie and landed in the Selkigris. "Ewww." "Make way!" Eda landed in the pile. "Eda!" The trio started laughing./p

I have a gift for you." Lilith walked over to her sister. "To prove that I'm trustworthy, I'm giving you a peek inside the Emperor's Castle." Eda got up to follow Lilith to the cauldron. Ellie and Luz looked in too. It showed the corridor at the Emperor's Castle along with two distracted guards. "What are we supposed to do with this?" "Whatever you want. Don't you see? These troops don't know whatever pranks your heart desires." Lilith sat down on the couch. "They're clueless without me." Eda sat down next to her./p

Ellie has been getting great with her magic!

I looked at Eda who was doing some magic but sadly the Apple blood popped and scattered all around the area. Ellie started cleaning the chunks off her face. "Well, she's trying her best." I turned the camera to Lilith. "Eda was cursed by her own sister, Lilith. And she spent her entire life looking for a way to do it.

Eda started aiming at King. "NOO! MY BABY!" Ellie ran over to King and knocked him out of the way, I looked back to the camera, "This week, we were bounty hunters. Next week we could be anything. So, Mom, please don't be scared. I'm growing more and more every day, and I have Ellie here to back me up and protect me.

I'm pretty sure she was angry but I couldn't tell because her voice was muffled. Luz randomly pulled me into a hug with Eda. "Hey, I know. What we need is a confidence boost. Why don't we take on the biggest bounty we can find? It'll be great!" I started thinking and yeah, It would put food on the table, and maybe this will cheer them up./p

"Hey what about the "Selkidomus" it's a creature from the ocean! Oh My God!"

Eda wouldn't be in this situation if it weren't for me.." I looked at Luz. "You mean us. It's my fault too." Luz smiled a second and then immediately frowned./p

We can take that Bounty job, and make a whole lot of snails, and then Eda can get all the apple blood she wants!" She smiled at me. "Yeah, we're gonna help Eda and prove that we're more than a burden!" I grabbed her hand, snatched the wanted poster, and slammed it onto the barrel./p

"Ahh, Ellie Rodriguez.. daughter of Jameson Rodriguez." I snarled at him. "Don't say his name in my presence." Eda placed her hand on my shoulder while Luz grabbed my hand. Okay, the human will remain a sailor to repay all the money they lost, while the Owl Lady and the daughter of Jameson will be arrested." "What am I arrested for?" "Daddy wants to see you again."

The Golden Dork shrugged his shoulders. "The Emperor ordered me to slay one. I'm just following orders. Well, I'm just gonna smack you around a little bit." In one swift motion, Eda used her detached arm and tried to attack him, but somehow he tripped her causing her to land on her face. "Leave Eda alone!"

He used his magic to grab Eda and Luz and dangled them above the sea. I snarled at him deeply… He looked at Luz and Eda. "Around these parts, just the steam is enough to cause third-degree burns. But I don't have to be that mean." "And if you want to still keep your head, I recommend you stay being 'nice.' He was confused so he turned to his right and saw an Ice spear I summoned when he wasn't looking, he looked down to see that a bit of him was frozen in place./p

If one of you follows those Selkidomus tracks and slays the beast. Here! I'll help." He threw a sword at my feet, I placed my hand on the left side of my hip, and I looked at him with an unamused expression. I pushed the Ice spear into his face some more, it didn't touch his face well not yet at least… he groaned at the situation so he lifted up the case that he's been carrying. "Just go or I'll drown the bird.." He pulled the shade back and it turns out he kidnapped King./p

He dropped the shade. "Ah, it's dark now." I started to smirk.. that's my adorable little goober, after realizing that I don't really have much of a choice... I'm gonna have to play along with this game. "Place Eda and Luz back onshore." "Do you think you can unfreeze me so I can do it?" I looked at his body and he was only frozen to his neck. He can still move his arms. "You can still move your arms." He sighed, he used his magic to thrust Eda and Luz back onshore. I grabbed the sword he threw at me a couple of seconds ago. "Alright." I started walking. "Ellie!" "Wait, Ellie!" I heard Eda and Luz call out for me.. but I didn't listen, the sooner we get this over with, the better./p

"We stick together remember?" "Yeah well, sometimes you got to handle things on your own now hand over the sword." Luz looked at me with a sad expression, "Ellie, What's the matter with you?" I looked down at my feet. "Ellie, Luz, don't hurt the Selkidomus. We can find another way out of this."/p

I started walking away until Luz grabbed my hand. "No, we agreed that we would help out Eda together." I pulled my hand from her grip, Eda walked over to us. "And what is it with you guys wanting to help me all of a sudden? Don't you remember? Us weirdos have to-" I was about to say something but Luz beat me to the punch./p

I looked at her. " I know you're angry about your '' She raised her fingers in quotations. "Father" I gripped the sword very tightly. "And I know you want to do things on your own to prove that you're not weak, especially to him, but it doesn't hurt to get a little bit of help. Especially from the people who care about you." She grabbed my free hand and looked and looked into my eyes, I pulled away from her grub, and I jumped on top of the pirate ship./p

I kept falling in the air until I landed on the ground, or at least.. I think it's the ground.. oh balls, it's the Selkidomus… I jumped off of the beast and made my way into a fighting stance./p

"God Luz, how many times are you gonna crash on top of me today?!" She looked at me for a couple of seconds, before blushing and giggling, "What are you laughing at?!" I started to think and oh my god… I pushed her off me and stood on my feet. "LUZ NOCEDA, YOU HAVE A DIRTY MIND!" Luz stops giggling and jumps onto her feet. She summons an ice pillar to attack the beast, but Eda uses a vine to crash into us; she landed us behind a boulder./p

How many people are going to crash into me today?!" Eda covered my mouth, she looked at the beast before taking her hands off my mouth. "And You think that throwing your lives away is gonna help me?! Well, it won't." I looked at Eda with a less angered expression. "You helped us find King's down when you both barely knew me! You two saved me from turning to stone and even got me talking to my own sister again. So unfortunately for you, my life is pretty great. Because of my friends both Ellie and Luz, the humans."/p

I looked to my side, "Luz, your guilt-ridden brain is clouding your judgment. And Ellie.." I kept looking to my side. "Ellie, look at me." I wouldn't budge so she ended up cupping my face and forcing me to look at her. "Don't you think about him, don't you think about him for another second… don't need to prove anything to him and no matter what trouble you get yourself into… we'll always be there to back you up. Especially me and Luz." I swear I was on the verge of crying… I looked at Luz who was smiling at me. A few tears dripped down my face... "Come here." I immediately cried into Eda's shoulder, and I stayed like that for a couple of seconds./p

"I'm sorry…" She wrapped her arms around my neck. "It's alright Ellie." After a couple of seconds, we finally managed to calm ourselves down and try to come up with a plan. "Okay with that out of the way, there's gotta be a way out of this where no one has to get hurt." As we started thinking we heard a random moan, so I looked down and saw a baby Selkidomus. Luz gasps "Eda, do you want to learn your first glyph?" She brought out her light glyph. My little Luz is growing up./p

"Oh, that thing smells awful. Why are you touching it with your hands? Gross…" Ellie rolled her eyes. "You're such a puss." Luz jumped out of nowhere. "And you're really gross! Now give us King." "Actually he smells pretty bad too, take him." /p

"You should be grateful I'm not taking you to your father with your head disconnected from your body." Ellie growled a little bit, Luz stepped in front of Ellie, "You got what you wanted, now get out of here!" Luz snarled at the guard, he jumped on his staff, "By the way, it's not just Samson you should worry about, The Emperor is not a merciful man.. later."/p

The two go back to see Eda making light out of paper like Luz and Ellie did when they first arrived. "My first glyph. Did I do good?" Eda looked at Ellie and Luz. "You did great Eda, you did great." Ellie walked up to Eda and gave her a hug which Eda happily accepted. Luz looked at the heart-warming moment, only for it to get interrupted by the whales of the baby Selkidomus. It crawled up to Luz, who put the birdcage down and gave it a hug./p

Eda turned to the Selkidomus, "This area is dangerous. You need to move further out into the sea." Eda smiled at the beast, the beast started gagging until it threw up a whole log of shiny coins./p

"Hot dang! It gave you the treasure of the sea." Luz analyzed it, "Gold? Tuna?" Ellie cringed at the sight of it, "Snot?" King shuddered, "Ew.. gross…" Eda had the stuff in her hands. "It's selkigris. Ah! People pay big money for it at the night market! Ah, feel that money!" Eda squished the money onto Luz's cheeks "No Eda!" Ellie started to laugh. "I don't know why you're laughing because you're up next!" Eda made her way over to Ellie who was running around trying to avoid her. "Luxuriate in it. What, you don't like to luxuriate? There's a whole pile of luxury right in here."/p

Please, No, no, no, no, no!" Eda pushes Luz into the selkigris, but she ends up landing on top of Ellie. After opening her eyes, Luz discovered that Ellie caught her midway, Ellie smiled with some red on her cheeks. "You okay, Lu Lu?" Luz immediately started blushing, so she pushed herself off of Ellie and landed in the Selkigris. "Ewww." "Make way!" Eda landed in the pile. "Eda!" The trio started laughing./p
