POV Narrator:

The rescue of Naomi Ben Asher was a real success, in which some of the girls were almost caught and discovered with that plan to rescue the girl, but with a huge success they were all rescued, with Laura almost exhausting herself to send them back, she herself said that she wouldn't be able to transport all of them back if there was one more witch there, but luckily all 67 witches and 15 children were able to get out of that real hell. Things were very strange over there with the sudden disappearance of many people that everyone thought were in hiding, it was all a big and huge mystery, no one there knew what was going on. At least until the explosions started and that's when things got a lot worse, the explosions started from inside those walls that were armored, but were only against witches' magic, they didn't expect a gunpowder explosion, a homemade explosion, which started detonating in many points of that hideout, which unfortunately killed some of the cultists on the way, besides destroying the whole building a lot, waking up even the leader Lhotus who was sleeping at the whole moment of the action, he was faced with a tremor, all his men trying to hold that place with magic and everything was falling apart, which made him have to take drastic measures and with all the power he made sure to use to transport to some more isolated island, since he didn't want the group to be discovered, along with all the cult's things and from there that things really started, on that island he had made a Bunker in case an attack like that happened.

In Appleton the students felt strong tremors and explosion sounds coming from below, which was very strange, and also the disappearance of some students, growing even more suspicious about that place, so much so that the director went to see where those tremors came from and soon found a passage blocked by land, which was where the old cult of Lhotus was until a few minutes ago, there he just went back to the top floor and began to prepare to conduct a possible investigation about that place that he had never seen in the whole academy.

Back in the new Lhotus cultists' bunker, many were extremely frightened and impressed by the presence of the man, since he was just a deity to many, but in fact he was more real than anything, not just a legend, not a mortal deity, a tall man, bearded, with some apparent muscle mass and dressed in a very medieval way, he just pointed his sword up high and soon everyone was lined up and organized to listen to his pronouncement.

POV Gabriel:

Shit I was sent to this place... It's because of me that I am here... I am sure that this time I will not escape alive from the clutches of Lhotus... Well, at least nobody found me hiding in the middle of the trees, in that case I will try to find some way to get my foot out of that place as fast as possible, those damn witches, but when I least realized, I was transported back to the whole line of other cultists... Oh fuck, he's almost a god... What the fuck, I won't even be able to escape... It's all or nothing now, if I want to lie this is the big chance... He looks so intimidating, like he is going to execute us at any moment, like I feel a huge tension around this man, Lhotus really is not a legend, he is more real and scary than ever...

- Well done My Chosen Ones... Do you know why we are here? I woke up with our old sanctuary being bombed and saw the tremendous incompetence of you all... What you didn't notice is that it could be an attack made by witches, they disguised themselves as us, they took all the breeding stock with them, there are no girls here, you see? Because there really aren't! Only some of our people passed out on the ground and others that were killed that will serve as a bonfire... But how did a witch get in here? It could only have been the work of a traitor! Only a traitor would have helped a witch gain access to our sanctuary and that's why Gabriel is him! - Said Lhotus with all intimidation causing me to be transported on the spot in front of everyone, they looked at me with all the anger in the world, while Lhotus just stayed with a tranquility that gave me even more fear.

I was more tense than ever, I knew I could maybe be killed at that moment... Then I started to think... Do I lie... Do I tell everything... If I tell everything they might try to kill more witches... Or even bring them here to commit the atrocities they are committing and that is one of the things I liked least when I became a Chosen One... They are more horrible people than the witches I used to hate before... I can just lie, try to look like the good guy, since I always had this good guy pose... I'll say that I was naive that they fooled me, that I thought they were boys... At least this way I can delay them from doing any harm to these people.

- Very well Gabriel, if you have nothing to hide, why were you behind the trees getting ready to run away? Something must be hiding and I imagine it must be about letting the witches infiltrate the sanctuary, since you were the last one to bring someone to the building, so it must be about being the traitor - Shit... This Lhotus is frightening... I never thought I would feel so much fear in my life as with this being... He is really a vision from hell... Well, here we go.

- First of all... I want to ask for everyone's forgiveness... I was naive, I was deceived, I thought they were new witches and you always say that we should take everyone who shows potential to magic without exception, that's even why I sent those boys to the sanctuary, to be initiated, it was my naivety and I was trying to escape, I was afraid of being executed, I was afraid for my life... Like any of us who are scared to death of being killed... It was my mistake, but now I am ready to receive the divine punishment - I say in a beautiful way opening my arms until I observe Lhotus facing me with a bit of anger and then all I observe is him putting the sword back into its sheath... What a relief I will not be killed, he soon comes to me and puts his hand on my shoulder.

- Since it was your stupidity and incompetence, we will take it easy on you, because of you many brothers died, we lost all our broodmares, all our future generations of super wizards and even the sanctuary, we will have to rebuild everything from scratch and recompose all the magical power we were having... We were at our peak, our magical power would be enough to start the great revolution! We were going to go out and wreak havoc on the witch world in 20 years time! We were preparing the future super-witches who would carry out suicide missions trying to kill as many important witches as possible, destabilizing their system... But because of your tremendous stupidity and immopetence we won't be able to accomplish this, we won't have a chance to do this... It will take us at least 50 years to rebuild the way we were before... Gabriel Vanwall your punishment will be the blood eagle and you will be suspended by ropes with a Maltese cross cut on your chest, I will make sure not to let you die for a long time, you will feel this pain for days, with my magic you will never die so soon and for that you will all learn that even if he is just a klutz, we do not tolerate this kind of behavior, all those chosen by me! They must be perfect and show competence! Now get this bastard and let's put him at the exit of the bunker - said Lhotus... No... No... No... I don't believe it... I will be executed so cruelly ... Shit... I have to run away from here... What can I do ... He's extremely powerful.

I soon start to think of a strategy and when I am led to the exit I notice that Lhotus was not after them, I pick up and use my magic to hit both of them, trying to escape their claws that aim their wands besides calling their leader, I quickly use all my strength to escape, using a transport spell I end up being enveloped by a green colored energy... How strange... And then I see the face of that Lhotus and at the same time I end up being transported to a place totally different from where I was I was not in front of Lhotus... I stopped in the middle of a forest and then I saw a woman who looked like a tree flying and disappearing into the sky... But how strange, soon after I continued on my way until I saw a hut there, I went running towards the place and soon noticed that there were many women, holding children and it must have been all those witches and... Jack... Jack is here too... Jack Hamilton! I missed him and ran towards the boy I loved so much, we met and he gave me a delicious kiss... I was saved... I was saved by the force of the forest! By the witches! After that kiss they all look at me a little strange and Jack looks at me with a smile on his face.

- Gabe... You did it my love, you got rid of Lhotus' claws too, and the plan? Did it work? Did you manage to delay them? - Said my love until one of the girls points at me.

- Ah, you're the boy who gave us access to the witches' hiding place, I didn't know you were on our side... You could have helped us more, but all right, I guess to be here you must be one of us," said a blonde girl that I soon recognized as one of those who was disguised by one of the Appleton boys.

- They won't get back to doing what they intended to do for another 50 years from what I heard from Lhotus' own words... I noticed something strange here... I was transported out of nowhere by a tree woman... She sent me into the forest when I went to try to escape execution at the hands of Lhotus... He wanted to make me the blood eagle Leaving me for days feeling that horrible pain, but I was saved... I was saved... By a witch... You witches are good people... I was really wrong about you... - I tell them that they only smile at me until they deliver us a baby.

- Look, this is the only child who doesn't have a mother... I think this kid's mother must have died years ago at the hands of these guys... So... If you want you can be the parents of this boy - said one of the women handing us a blond baby that even looked like me... Oh... Why? I think it was because he is one of my... I remember being forced to relate to that woman and how scared she was.

I look at the boy and he looks back at me, and I immediately recognize that it is really him... My son... So much so that they use magic and I think it must have shown that it was really compatible that I was the father of this child... Jack even gets a little scared but then hugs me, I soon take a deep breath and look at all around, including soon comes a short redhead and stares at us with a little suspicion.

- So you are Jack's boyfriend? Gabriel... The boy who helped the girls get in here? May I call you Gaybe? Since I assume you are gay... So, boy, tell us everything, your word can be what will change the future of the witches... Don't be afraid, I am Laura McLaren and you are in the Arcturus forest outside the Luna Nova witch academy, consider yourself safe - I've seen this name before, it's the highly dangerous witch who was mentioned there as being extremely powerful.

- You can call me that, I am gay indeed, I was selected to be one of the chosen ones, because I am one of the most powerful witches in the cult... I still have many more revelations to tell about what I saw there, Jack was just one of the beginners, but as I hold a few positions above him and am a powerful witch, I ended up discovering many more things... I was instigated to discover more secrets and almost ran away with Jack, but at the moment of the escape I let him go and stayed so that he would not be traced, we were already starting to date secretly - I tell the girls who are all curious.

POV Eleanora:

Everything is fine now, all this drama is over, we will never have to deal with these bastards again... Everything had an end at least... They were blown up, now I just want to know about Naomi and leave her well, I go to her and hug her from behind, in that wonderful landscape of the Arcturus forest, we were looking at the trees and the little sky that appeared. I also give her a kiss, but as soon as I put my hand on her belly I notice something... Is she pregnant? Naomi has always been very chubby, but she has lost a lot of weight these days? She doesn't look like the same full Naomi as always, besides that belly.

- Naomi. - I tell her who only turns her face almost in tears.

- Eleanora... I am carrying a fruit of this violence... I know you realize that... Yes I am pregnant... They made me pregnant... I don't know exactly who the father was, we don't see the face of the one who is raping us, they wear masks and then they start the action... I only know that it was a moment of great terror... It was as if a sword was piercing me... Eleanora I was a virgin until that day... and they just waited until I was on my period to fertilize. That was two months ago I am pregnant with the fruit of a rape... and I can't have an abortion and I won't. I am Jewish... It goes against my beliefs - Naomi said to me as I tried to comfort her.

- But you are a lesbian, Naomi, and that alone would be against your faith.

- It is one thing to be myself, being that it doesn't even make sense that homosexuality is a sin, since it is not even against reproduction, there are fertility stones that prove this quite a bit... It is another thing to be a life Eleanora, I am with a life inside of me... And no matter where that life comes from, I will give it all the love and care - Naomi said until I held her hand confidently and then blushed a little.

- Correcting you, we will take care of this life, I gladly accept to be the mother of this daughter of yours by your side - I say smiling to her who smiles, hugs me and then kisses me... Naomi's lips so soft, so cuddly... I missed kissing this girl, she has been through so much and now deserves all the love in the world.

- Really? Do you want to date me Eleanora Maria White? Do you even promise to be really faithful to your girlfriend? Will you even let go of that Eleanora way of yours? - Naomi said, and I just nodded my head, smiling.

- Of course, I will be the most faithful girlfriend in the whole world, believe it or not, the old Eleanora no longer exists, I am no longer this little slut who gives to anybody... I won't be that person anymore, I had to live through horrible moments having sex with that Paul Hanbridge that Bernadette's mother wants so badly to marry her, I noticed how nobody respected me... Even if for a moment I really enjoyed myself, I never felt complete, very different from when I did it with you Naomi, all the times we made love... I enjoyed it more than with other people... Anyway... I love you Naomi Ben Asher - I say until we start kissing tenderly, observing all that landscape, while everybody inside was talking about Lhotus and all that shit, I sincerely only want to see Naomi well and happy.

POV Laura:

Fuck is a lot of information now... We have another Lhotus around here who is Jack's boyfriend... The kid that Maria White paid to give access to was a high ranking guy and on top of that, Jack's boyfriend... Fuck, that's a lot of information to process today, it is not enough the rescue of Naomi and the other witches, at least the most important mission was accomplished, but still... Fuck... This is all still going through my head... I already wondered about the abuse, but now this is all quite intriguing... Wow... I guess we are dealing with a bigger force than we thought, I just really want to know where this island is? Where they are hiding now and bring them to justice now that they must be weakened? Without a shadow of a doubt Harriet and Freya the immortal witches would stop them.

- So that was it, the Lhotus want to create a new society to extinguish witches and put the superiority of witches over all, the Lhotus plan is to do a cleansing, so much so that they almost achieved this in the beginning of this century... I guess you must have no idea, but one case that became known in the witch world that was the Du Nord family massacre of 1908, carried out only by two high ranking witches Cedric Thomas and Eric Thomas the Thomas brothers, were ordered by Lhotus to go out cleaning up the most well known witch families and they were already known for other murders that were not accidents, the death of Alice Cavendish II and Herald Morris was a planned murder by them to make it look like an accident, they thought that by there was the whole Cavendish family in the carriage in 1901, the mysterious fire in the Benson family mansion in 1906 that took the lives of all the Benson's, it was little by little that the extermination of the best known witch families was happening, the next target was the Du Nord family, but the police arrived in time and because of their failure it was decided that they would suffer the consequences and those consequences was an execution, which you probably should know because it was a known case... Anyway... This is what Lhotus of a slightly higher rank than mine do - Gaybe said, which left me in shock... I had no idea that the damned were behind even the death of Bern's ancestors... And I was already suspicious about the Du Nord part.

- Tell me more, how you organize yourselves and everything else - I tell him and he starts to show me on a blackboard how their system is.

POV Narrator:

Gabriel goes on to tell in detail about the Lhotus system, each position that was held, the first of which was the Initiate, who had four degrees, and who, after passing through these four degrees, became an Aspirant, which was divided into five degrees. Jack was a third-degree aspirant. After the Aspirant he went up to the Intermediate which was divided into 10 degrees, Gabriel was an Intermediate of the ninth degree, then came the Master which was of double degree, above the Master was the Grand Master which was divided into three degrees, the Thomas brothers who murdered the whole family of Louise Du Nord were Grand Masters of the third degree, above the Grand Master was the Chancellor who had a single degree, above the Chancellor was the Grand Chancellor divided into seven degrees and finally came the great Lhotus who was above everything and everyone, seen as a deity and untouchable, only those above the rank of second degree Grand Master saw Lhotus' face in person which was a huge mystery since he did not show himself to the ranks below. Until the moment before the invasion of the girls the group consisted of 41 Beginners, 20 Aspirants, 44 Intermediates, 20 Masters, 11 Grand Masters, 6 Chancellors and 21 Grand Chancellors plus also the presence of Lhotus.

Initiate: White tunic with the cult's symbols on the chest, as well as showing the position and rank on the sleeves of the tunic and the white color sash that also showed the ranks, it usually takes 2 months to ascend each rank, this is where the cultist learns the basics of magic and all the principles of the Order of the Chosen of Lhotus, he is still limited to walking only through the upper floor of the shrine, and Appleton.

Aspiring: Same tunic as the Beginner, but the sash is a purple color that also showed the degrees, an aspiring has already learned most of the basics of magic, learns about more complex spells, but still has the same access to buildings that a Beginner has, each degree takes about 3 months to ascend depending on the wizard's power and on how dedicated he is to his studies.

Intermediate: The same white tunic as the beginner, but the sash was red showing the degrees, an intermediate already has knowledge of more complex spells, all intermediates already know non-verbal spells, usually these are more than 3 years in the cult. An eighth degree Intermediate, in order to ascend or stay alive, has two choices, either to procreate with one of the fertilizers, or to sacrifice a witch. Each degree takes about two months to ascend, since an intermediate ascends by fulfilling missions. From the fifth degree on, he can access the lower floor, and in the ninth degree he has access to the brood chamber.

Master: The tunic already changes color to a yellow with white, the sash is blue showing the degrees, the master is the one who rules and teaches all the Beginners, Aspirants and Intermediates, he is the one who rules the three and gives the orders, a master to reach this position has to have procreated and sacrifice a witch in the ritual that is transitioned from Intermediate to Master, most masters are already around their 20's upwards, their access to the building is very high, they can walk through most of the building and many of the masters do not pass through Appleton since they are graced by transport, they can transport themselves at any time out of the enclosure or into it with the push of a button. Each Master's degree takes 2 years to complete.

Grand Master: The same tunic as the master, only the sash is gold showing the degrees, he is the one who commands the master and even has the authority to kill someone from his own cult, these have total access to all the precincts of the Lhotus shrine, but cannot access the sacred rooms, They are the ones responsible for initiating the rituals, they know everything behind the Order, besides having many murders in their accounts, from this position the Grand Masters work on capturing witches from the academies of witches, to put them as incubators or even carry out massacres in their families. Each degree takes 2 to 3 to complete, a Grand Master is usually around 25 years old and up, their magical power is high enough to kill a witch in the snap of a finger. From here on up a Lhotus can never appear publicly, everyone must remain only in the order and never leave it under any circumstances.

Chancellor: Purple robe with red details, it is one of the highest positions in the order, they also do not show their face, every chancellor wears the skull of a deer on his head so as not to reveal his face to lower members, they are expert witches and many perform experiments, even with the intermediates themselves down, they are rarely seen and rule the Grand Masters and Masters who in turn rule all positions below the intermediates, they are usually over 30 years old, they do not perform as many murders and captures as the Grand Masters do since they focus on the study and training of all the children produced there, these children are transported to a place which is the land of Lhotus, an isolated island in the middle of the ocean where all the inhabitants are witches trained by Chancellors to become powerful soldiers. A Chancellor is rarely seen by beginners, since they do not walk through the parts of the building where the beginners are.

Grand Chancellor: The highest position in the entire order, they rule everything and everyone and are only below Lhotus, they wear an all black tunic, with a mask similar to the physicists of the middle ages who cared for the sick from the black plague, a Grand Chancellor only reaches this position after finishing training a child until the age of 20 on the island of Lhotus, that same child already becomes a Chancellor as soon as the training is finished. The Grand Chancellor is often over 50 years old, an extremely high magical power since they have trained since forever, they have never been seen by anyone but Lhotus himself and other Chancellors, they are the most powerful of the Order, they only rise in rank by Lhotus' own good will, that depending on what they do in life, they can be awarded with an eternal youth, since after the fifth Degree a Chancellor is awarded with immortality, but they are very few and only five of them are immortal. The Grand Chancellor is the right arm of Lhotus, he is the one who orders everything, they are the ones who decide the fate of each person of the Order in case of a trial, besides Lhotus himself, Many of these Grand Chancellors who are not immortal still keep a very young appearance although they do not show their faces, but it is quite common for them to be 70/80 years old if not even older than that. They are in charge of basically everything, since Lhotus just stands on his own and everyone else stands at his feet.

There are many positions that a Lhotus can occupy, the most occupied are those of Witch, there are those of physicists, scientists, alchemists, teachers, trainers, assassins, executioners and many others that are all around the Order of Lhotus. They are celibate, so they never have sexual relations and even make a point of emphasizing this, besides strictly forbidding relations that are not for the intention of procreation, and also Homosexuality is expressly forbidden. A Lhotus cannot show feelings, must be cold, calculating, meticulous, a killing machine, many of them find themselves in fights, and depending on the fight, may even fight to the death. Many of them find themselves in fights, and depending on the situation, they may even fight to the death. The only thing a Lhotus must preserve is obedience to the higher ranks and to the great Lhotus, treachery is not forgiven and executions almost always happened there, the bodies were all thrown into the cemetery next to the witches, a fetid place that was next to the maternity ward and a breeding room.

A child born there would stay in the maternity for two years until it was taken to the island of Lhotus and from there it would train with the Chancellors for the rest of its life to become powerful soldiers, training that was also the most rigorous possible, with a very high mortality rate, The few that survived became real fighting machines, becoming Chancellors, and then the cycle would start all over again, training a child to be able to rise to the rank of Grand Chancellor. Children who were ugly or weak were killed on the spot, reproductive females were not allowed to have daughters; they were aborted on the spot, and many of them died in the process. Also, the group stressed the point that they were white supremacists, so they could only have light-skinned members in the order, promoting true terror and racism in that place.

POV Laura:

Fuck... I'm in shock, man... What a horrible place, they are extremely organized, but damn... How horrible... So that's all that was going on there... I imagine those children who are on that island... They are going to suffer for a thick fuck... Thank God we got rid of 15 of them and others who were going to be born and take it up the ass. Fuck... I even cried here, but it was a lot of horror really... How can they treat another fellow human being like a war machine, at the same time I get scared, these witches must be powerful... I'm sure a Chancellor would kill me, I think even the Grand Master I can guarantee, but the Chancellor must be extremely powerful... For the nine lesbian witches I am fucked... We messed with big things, but I want those Lhotus to fuck themselves.

- That's just what I'm trying to remember, the hole is deeper than you think, I'll tell you more later, but for now we have to settle in... - He said as magic began to emanate from the trees... From the ground and all over the place.

- We'll help you with that. You can be sure of that - I tell him, until we all come out, and all the glow continues to emanate, the trees soon begin to move, that shelter is gone, all I see is magic emanating from the trees.

- Stay here and I will guide you into new times of magic, we will grow together in the name of becoming the new hope of magic, you will have a great future ahead of you, they will have to stay hidden here so that no one will notice them and the forest will protect them, keep this place secret witches... Witches of Luna Nova - said the woman who then disappeared... I'm sure I've seen that face before... Wait a minute... Woodward... One of the nine witches came to talk to us.

- Thank you for all you have done for us witches, we are grateful for the rescue you did - Jack said waving until it and all the people disappeared, I even see Naomi disappearing from Eleanora's arms who started to cry when she saw her beloved disappearing and turning some lights

- Hey don't worry, we are hiding in the trees only much smaller than human size, our home will be in those trees so no one will find us... Eleanora Maria White I love you... I will always be with you, just call me and I will come back to normal size to see you or I can even make you small and with that I can save you - said Naomi from the trees until I noticed a lot of small people in the trees... What the fuck.

POV Narrator:

The rescue was a real success, a lot about the Order of the chosen of Lhotus was revealed, they managed to be worse and crueler than imagined, besides having a magic power that could be immeasurable, something of extreme risk, the girls even returned to Luna Nova with all that information still in shock, with all the pressure they had just thinking about the future and the new life they would have from that moment on.

See you, Lhotus Wizards...
