The long"awaited day has arrived, what Margareth was waiting for so long, what also Diana, Akko and Amanda were waiting for to act, the long"awaited exploration of Room 3 of Luna Nova, in the mysterious place, which can lead to many possibilities, some not so good and others even interesting, but all this will depend on the course of future events of these next hours of exploration.
The day dawned as any other day at Luna Nova, that would be the last week there before they all go back to school, since the winter holidays are about to end.
The day was passing as if nothing had happened, just a routine day, but that was already having a preparation on the part of each one, that still during the afternoon, in the room of the brown team, there were Marianne and Hellene, both were already preparing the things to be on the lookout in a room near the room three observing all the activity, as the trio was arriving.
At the blue, red and green teams' rooms the conversation was by mobile phone messages, with everything already being practically released for the night, a lot because of the plan with Diana's presence always filling O'Neill with questions and full of fear, but that would always be answered by the American leaving everything clear.
At Nelson's room, Margareth was just waiting for the motion detector and cameras installed in the room to detect soon the presence of the trio, so that she would also act her way, besides having a small bug in Croix and Chariot
's room, which could at any moment for going after what really happened, mainly if they are going to investigate what happened in the witch's own seal.
22:00
It was already night and all of them were practically ready to act in every hour, being that Croix and Chariot discussed a lot about only going out to look for the seal at night, in case everything is true, they would catch Margaret by surprise in a time that possibly she would be sleeping, a lot of it writing in papers, since they even suspected that there could be a bug in their room and for that they didn't risk.
The couple takes the broom and starts to leave Luna Nova, towards the island where Ford's seal was.
" We'll find out the truth now, there's no way Nelson will escape our suspicions," said Chariot.
" If it's Margaret we'd better be careful and pretend nothing happened, we'll try to catch her at night, when she's sleeping and put an end to all this, arrest this cursed woman," Croix said.
" Let's try, because you know that even then we can't falter, our lives are at risk, remember how powerful she was to the point of taking care of all of us " Du Nord said.
They continued their flight path, and in the rooms of the red, green and blue teams, the three girls left in a discreet way, each one inventing a different excuse to try to pretend they were doing something else.
" I am going out to meet Diana, we promised each other to look at the stars " Atsuko said.
" Hmmm I already know that the stars you are going to see is actually what she is going to make you see hahaha, what a cute way to say you are going to get it on " Sucy said teasingly.
" Sucy! " Kagari said blushing.
With this easy excuse she managed to leave without the two colleagues getting suspicious, so much so that she went with her bag and wearing a more discreet outfit, through the dark corridors, Amanda on the other hand invented the excuse that she was invited to the brown team's room, on a game night with Hellene, Akko and Diana, which already grew Constanze and Jasminka's suspicion, who didn't buy much, but also didn't care much. On the
other hand Diana didn't need to say anything as Hannah and Barbara were bathing and together they were in the shower, that being all she could hear from the pair of classmates, clearing all the way for them.
In the corridor near the entrance to room three, they were very well hidden disguised as mice, in some crevices, from early evening, there were the duo of Marianne and Hellene.
" I thought being on the prowl would be more fun, but we've been here for hours and no sign of them," Hellene said a bit sulkily.
" You're quite cute for a little mouse, don't be so upset, let's just think of it as a ninja mission," Marianne said, trying to lighten the load.
Then footsteps were being heard, the two were getting quite hidden just watching who was passing by and it was exactly Nelson, who later they saw entering the next room, while holding a mobile phone, which was already increasing even more the suspicions, but still they were just thinking about that theory that she is just an accessory of Chariot and Croix.
Soon the trio is also meeting at the corridors, with Amanda and Akko meeting first, then Diana came who had to go down the stairs, the three are already with lit lanterns passing through the unlit corridors of this part of Luna Nova that is kind of abandoned and old, where rarely passes an inspection and with that they arrive near the door of the room, taking a deep breath.
" Now we're finally here... " Atsuko said.
" Room three " Complements Cavendish.
" Let's just get in here straight away without rolling around too much " O'Neill said.
The three agree with the head, open the door of the room, that as usual was dark, with only the lights of the lantern, much for being of night and also not having any electric light, what already let active the movement detectors by Margareth seeing all the action.
Already in the hide, Marianne and Hellene go entering in action taking advantage of the little movement they stay watching everything from the window of the door, seeing the trio passing the lanterns in the outskirts of the room.
" Where is the entrance to this thing? " The American searches through the trap door, looking everywhere with her torch, until the Scot finds it.
With that the trio is pulling the trapdoor to the entrance there, the trio is kind of looking at each other with mistrust and everything else, mainly around entering the unknown, but it was remarkable the euphoria of the Japanese and also of the one with the salmon hair.
The two still pussies observed everything, but Margareth couldn't see with the cameras because it was dark only with the lights of the lanterns, but she could detect everything with heat cameras, seeing the presence of the people.
" Shall we go inside? " Akko asks.
" We are already here, we have nothing to lose," Amanda said.
" I swear that if something bad happens, don't say I didn't warn you," Diana said.
The three entered the trapdoor where next they also close the door, where was the gap for Hellene and Marianne to return to normal with the closing of the door, breathing relieved, they go waiting a little, kind of looking at each other with only the darkness, a little bit of the view limited by the moonlight, but that was still very little.
What ended up annoying Margareth when she detected the two girls' presences, that before they could open the trapdoor to follow the trio, they heard the door open and by there they point the torch, they see nothing just a figure.
" What? You saw that, Mari?" Hellene whispered as she pointed to the torch and then looked to the side to see that her girlfriend was lying on the ground unconscious.
Startled the younger Cavendish begins to close her eyes trying to sense the presence of someone nearby, but upon noticing who it was she was almost caught on her back having time to turn around, defending herself with a magical barrier that soon broke and the impact of the blow threw her backwards with everything.
" Listen here, you're not going to catch me! " Said the redhead trying to find the presence but she only ended up catching it some more, a lot by not being able to look, even seeing everywhere a little being surrounded by the person around her.
" You are only delaying the inevitable, if you want you and your girlfriend to survive surrender " Said Margareth's voice that was moving quickly around the purple-eyed one trying to defend herself.
" And how can I... " Without even being able to complete the sentence the girl was hit by a strong blow on the forehead making her fall faint on the ground no matter how hard she tried to fight, she was an opponent far beyond what they imagined.
" You two just came to slow me down, but I won't use you as food now, mainly because one of you has Cavendish genetics in her blood, and the other one I might as well, but I won't, thank Margaret, oh yeah, you're not listening to anything " said Ford who caught the two girls dragging them along.
The couple was taken to the next room, where they were tied to chairs, besides being blindfolded and also gagged so as not to scream as soon as they woke up, since Margareth knew they could be a hindrance, she made sure to take pills from her purse, where she made them swallow them.
" So you'll sleep like birds now and only wake up the next night, without interfering with my plans, just see how good it is to cooperate," she said, spoiling the two of them in a frighteningly strange way.
From there Margareth was finishing arresting them, followed the way back to room three, to follow where was going the trio that was walking through those underground corridors very strange, where by coincidence they end up coming across the door. The
door with the symbols of the three seals, and soon Amanda was putting her hand over the seal of her colour, causing the door to light up, then came Akko, connecting with the green one, and lastly Diana, who even with trepidation put her hand over it and the door opened, revealing a staircase.
" Actually you were right about that part, O'Neill, this really is the door that only opens with our seals, but I still have my doubts, it is very strange a place like this we have such an easy passage " Cavendish said.
" I'm not going to lie that it's suspicious, but that's as far as I know, otherwise it's all new, so let's be more careful," said the salmon"haired one.
" All I know is that I thought it was a beautiful place, even if it is very scary," said Atsuko.
The three were following the staircase, and things were already changing, the lanterns were found kind of unused as the lamps were lit with what was the presence of them walking through the corridors, revealing more of the hidden places of Luna Nova and its great mysteries.
Margareth was also following them only more discreetly as the place was also kind of humid and it was possible to hear their footsteps from far away, which Ford made sure to use her magic to keep stomping fluffily with each step, kind of still not so much in view of the girls after she had made her way down to the corridor.
" (These girls are doing everything for me and that's a wonder, I can't wait to arrive and have my Claiomh Solais in hand, I'll only need to do the necessary now hahaha).
Benson continued on her way, also using a heat vision spell to know where they were going, having to take it off when they reached the beginning of the staircase since the lamps were destroying that notion and that spell wasn't necessary anymore.
On the corridor below the trio arrived where there was a kind of pedestal and on it were some inscriptions in a totally different writing with some moons drawn, making them even more confused.
" Damn... How are we going to understand this? " Amanda asks.
" We have the mobile for that " Diana said.
Cavendish took aim at her mobile phone and started using Google lens, but no language was detected, not being able to translate the inscriptions, where afterwards she researched what those inscriptions were, putting together what the drawn moons said in each letter, resulting in.
"The sealed witches must hold hands forming the pedestal trinity"
" We have to hold our hands together, sort of making a triangle shape " said the Scottish lass.
And that's what they were doing, as they placed their hands on top of the pedestal, a glow lit up over the hand that was on top, in Diana's case, creating a drawing in the shape of a triskellion made of leaves.
Hidden also was Margareth that already got the visual contact of them, when seeing what they were doing, joining the hands that then transformed all that in a lift.
" Where will this place take us? " wonders Atsuko.
" I'm sure we're going too soon here, are you really sure about that Amanda? Are you sure it's not somewhere you've been pulled to go, it's really suspicious you know from here " Cavendish said.
" I assure you I only knew up to the door, otherwise it's really a mystery " O'Neill replies.
The lift arrives where it was lower, from there the lights go on revealing what seemed to be a huge circular place, very empty, with some decorations kind of made of vegetation, on the floor there was a drawing of a triskellion made of tree roots, they were seeing that with a kind of admiration, even walking a little forward where on the walls there were statues of each one of the nine legendary witches.
" Woah! We just found a holy shrine," said an impressed Kagari.
" Or rather we are invading a sacred shrine " Diana said.
" Stop being so boring Diana, look at this cool place, but there's nothing here either? I wonder if there's a magic relic here. " Amanda asks herself.
" I don't know but you can see that the statues have the same moons, I will go and try to find out about each one and see what they mean," said Cavendish.
But when she looked at the statue of the first one, which was exactly one of her ancestors, just by her appearance she noticed that it was written "Beatrix Cavendish", the others would probably also have the same, they were trying to find something in the place beyond that circle, without knowing what to do.
Margareth was looking at everything too, after going down there, she didn't need to hide her disguise from Nelson anymore, already getting ready to act, looking at them attentively, where she casts a spell towards Atsuko catching her right in the back to the point she fell on her knees on the ground.
" Ahhhhhh... Was it you? " Akko asks.
" We what? " Say the girls.
" I was hit, ahhhhhhh, it hurts a lot here, my magic, my body, I feel tingling... Like something wants to burst inside me... Ahhhhhh " said the japanese girl, starting to writhing in pain, until after she floated a little through the air, in a very strange way, lights started to shine through her body, being even possible to see through the clothes she was wearing, until afterwards a reddish smoke came all over the place.
In Luna Nova the effects were very well felt with a temporary blackout there, where already came the concern of the girls of the green team, also Laura and Bernadette, who went running to the red team's room to check things out.
Back to the place
, the red smoke was occupying the place, the girls were getting a little suspicious, at the same time worried, so much that Diana quickly went towards Akko to see if her friend was ok.
" Akko? " Cavendish asks worriedly.
" I'm fine... Now, but someone hit us and my magic seems to have been awakened " Said Kagari who was starting to notice in their hands the magic flowing as the smoke was dissipating, a little being absorbed by the floor of the place.
" This is very strange O'Neill, you took us to awaken Akko's magic! You did all this so that we could only awaken Akko's magic, when she said she wanted to do everything herself! " The furious Scottish woman said, walking towards the American, who was then trying to retort.
" It's not my fault! I didn't come here with that intention, I didn't even cast a spell on her " Said the furious salmon haired woman retorting.
" Stop fighting! " said the Japanese woman.
" No! Now let's find out what this bitch is hiding from us! You're manipulating us, aren't you? Croix and Chariot told you to bring us here, didn't they? Speak up! Or you're not woman enough! " said the platinum haired one as a glow emanated from the middle of the room, a light coming out of it in a very strange way.
" No! I don't do favours for Chariot and Croix! I'll talk! I brought you here because of Nelson! She told me about this place! She said it would be our hope of saving the world! " Amanda retorts, which ends up leaving everyone in shock.
Quietly they were soon also noticing that there was a light, paying attention to the suspicious illuminations, which were coming from the floor and the ceiling, revealing what looked like a staff containing seven blue balls distributed along it, surrounded by a reddish colour with beige colours in the rest of the body, which made them look a bit amazed, but soon all this admiration would end with the sarcastic clapping of a woman with brown hair and green eyes.
" Congratulations, congratulations, you've done everything I wanted most," Margareth said as the trio turned their faces away, watching the witch clapping her hands, sort of creating a whole atmosphere of fear just by her presence as she walked slowly towards the trio.
The mystery of room three is little by little revealing itself, a hidden room that the great Claiomh Solais is hiding in, but which may end up falling into extremely wrong hands, since it was all a trap planned by Margareth to lure the three sealed witches who until then were speechless by the events that were rolling right in front of them.
See you, mysterious witches...
