Things were getting intense and so was the cultists' hunt, with them practically giving a way to stop the girls even more from leaving their places, especially Marianne who had been attacked but luckily managed to disguise herself enough, but there were still other dangers to come, especially since there were only a few days left until the invasion of the Cavendish mansion by the hands of the cultists, who were already practically setting up the preparations there to carry out their plan. While in Arcturus progress was being made by the machines that Constanze kept building more and more all the time, almost having enough MGE's for the whole group. In the matter of words things had given a little stagnation until then, since the staff had not shone, but that would be until a certain day.
It was evening in Arcturus, the girls sort of resting after a long day of training, until there was Olivia arriving and she went towards Amanda, Diana and Akko, calling them to group together in a more discreet way where the art studio of the tree house is, which they were soon around gathering for something so important the clone wanted to do.
" What is it this time Liv? Is there something bothering you lately? " Ask Cavendish.
" Yes... To tell you the truth, there's something that bothers me a lot, but I don't want to talk about it now, I just want you to come with me " Said the girl in a more serious way.
" To go with you? But where to? " Kagari asks.
" If you called us it must be something important, Margaret back from the dead? " Said O'Neill already full of concern.
" No! Jeez, turn your mouths away, but in this case it is something important, it's about a dream I had, so come with me, it will be of great help " Olivia said with a big smile.
She then took a broom and the three of them followed the girl on the way, to see what would happen, flying through the night landscape of Arcturus that at the same time was beautiful with many stars in the sky, down there presented dangers, even during the flight there was all this danger, but they didn't end up suffering any major risk.
Arriving at the mountains, they landed with the witch that was cloned in the middle of a landscape that had a lake that was emanating a brightness in the middle of a small vegetation in the region of that mountain.
" Thank you for everything you have done for me... Really, I don't have much to say, just that I had the dream, the dream about the last word and where I want to find my destiny " said the girl who was once Diana.
" Do you intend to... Diana... Don't do that, life is so beautiful... " said the Scottish woman.
" She is beautiful indeed, it was a gift that can be granted, but that is not how I see it, for me it was a curse, it was something I did not ask for, I was taken from peace to stay here, I am a creation at the cost of several deaths, all so they could bring me back to this world, I am merely a freak of nature and I want to find my peace " Olivia said.
" Diana... We... " Said Kagari who was half crying.
" I brought you here because this lake contains a mortal water, it makes one find peace when entering its waters, I don't want to continue suffering in this life... You may think not, but my body also asks for this, before my head goes away you will know the next word... I found out through sleep and also understood its meaning " said the witch who was walking towards the lake but was held back by all to not walk forward.
They were pushing as hard as they could, but Olivia was still trying to walk, they just didn't want to let her go, which then the witch releases them all with a magical power that disperses them all backwards, falling down sitting up as she reached forward and a staff appeared in her hands.
" I knew it would come to this, so I guess we won't have a choice, will we? " said the witch, pointing her staff at the three of them, who were taken half by surprise.
" Liv we don't need to fight, we can work this out better " Amanda said.
" Diana, please... Don't do something like that " said Diana, who was also trying to appease him.
" That's exactly how it happened in the dream... well give it your all, may the best witch win " Said the witch who was cloned already to go on the attack.
Without fear Olivia went up to the three that were defending themselves in the haste also, almost being hit by a spell, where later Atsuko was surprised by the speed of the creature of Luna Nova, appearing behind her hitting a spell with the staff, then the Cavendish was trying a reaction to see her girlfriend hit, still in a very passive way, She was easily dodged by the similar one that simply stood over her hand using her feet hitting a kick on her face, O'Neill was more aggressive arriving in a punch that was defended by a shield glyph and then a spell that threw her away.
" I see that you are really improving a lot, but until then I never fully revealed my potential, only now that it is waking up, I am the mixture of all these deaths, all the witches that came to be what I am, this amalgam of people, who only want to find freedom, I ask that you allow us all to be free, these souls are trapped " said the other Diana.
The American still gets up and goes to try to land a punch, but is again defended by the creature from Luna Nova, just as afterwards Akko and Diana are standing there, still in shock while the salmon"coloured one doesn't give up, she goes up and then ends up being thrown backwards.
" What are you two waiting for there! Help me with this! Are you just going to stand there and let Liv kill herself? " said an angry and hurt Amanda.
" Is that what's best for her anyway? " Cavendish said.
" Diana! All right I'll help Amanda, that's kind of horrible to think about, she's on her way to die! " Atsuko said.
The Japanese woman was joining in the fight, starting to go jabbing also her own who just kept standing in one corner, just watching, kind of having a reflection on everything, until she saw that Kagari was thrown backwards too, next to her, while she just kept watching the whole fight.
" Come on Diana help us, we can... " the Japanese woman was about to go up again until the Scottish woman put her hand on her shoulder.
" Akko, take a good look at Diana, she is evidently not feeling well, since the day she freed herself from Margareth yet she has continued in the greatest depression, think of the souls that have been killed and are stuck to her in this body, she just wants to free them all, Chariot's family, her family, the other various people who were sacrificed for her to exist, these people are not living in peace, neither is she, who was forcibly brought back to life " Diana said, as Akko went to have a bit of a realisation.
" Should we leave it? Or is it not an ordeal of the staff? " Atsuko said.
" She is impossible to beat, she will be grateful with everything, we have no other choice left, or else we will stay here to die and not her " Cavendish said.
Amanda soon appears after taking another blow, already showing that she was quite weakened by the whole fight, furious by the lack of help coming from Akko and Diana, she can't get the strength to walk forward, already the witch looks at all of them.
" I could just walk into the water at any time, but I didn't, you guys fought as far as you could for me, you saw what these various souls cause me and they are making me worse, I don't want to become an amalgam of souls, I want to be free, I see Diana already understood that " Olivia said who then went about healing Amanda of her injuries.
" Why? Because it's healing me, you'll lose magic with it " O'Neill said.
" I want you to understand that this is an important decision of mine that I have to make for a much greater good, I know you will be fine, this is for you, for everyone who died for me to exist " Said the other Diana.
" Should we really let you go? " Said the American.
" I and all the people who died for my mere existence would be left with eternal gratitude, after all that is what the sixth word stands for... " Said the witch who went from floating with magic and then opened her arm to all of them.
Crying, they went to Luna Nova's experiment, hugging her and feeling the magic flowing between them, getting into a more emotional moment, where the girl took off her shoes and then her clothes, starting to put her feet into the lake, which little by little was rising, turning into several butterflies.
" Thank you! " Diana said as the rest of her body became butterflies that went flying through the air, sort of surrounding the whole trio who stood with the staff in hand, emanating a strong glow.
Then each one of the souls appeared one by one flying through the sky thanking each one of the girls for the rest that could be granted, looking up to the sky with emotion, until the last one appeared, in this case Diana III herself, who looked at all of them with a huge smile.
" Lyonne! " she said before disappearing into the sky as well, and as she did so the staff began to emanate some lights.
" The sixth word... " Akko said.
" Lyonne! " All three said.
The Claiomh Solais began to emanate a golden glow with stars along its spheres, until it intensified covering the entire environment around it, where the wounds that Atsuko had were healing, just as some of the leafless plants were suddenly creating green leaves, just as the environment around it was suddenly becoming greener which gave a bit of a happy feeling to the trio around it when the word was revealed, but then came cries.
" Diana... She helped us in the end with the first word and now with the penultimate word, she has set us free... " Cavendish said.
" I'll miss her, she saved our lives back there, she was always kind of on her own these days, but I'll never forget how we were helped, I'll never forget how amazing your ancestor was Cavendish " O'Neill said.
" You could call me Diana... " Said the Scottish girl who wrapped her arm around her friend.
" Calling you by name is too intimate Cavendish " said the American.
" You kind of always called all of us by name except Diana," Kagari said.
" You know something... We might as well... " Said the platinum haired girl holding her friend's chin.
" Diana? " The Japanese woman said.
" Di... Cav... " The salmon"coloured haired one was surprised by a kiss from the platinum haired one, which was shocking after they both parted ways.
" Diana! In front of me! Olivia just died and you do something like that " Kagari said.
" I guess I just couldn't resist... I like both of you, I kept this feeling dormant, but this is the truth, I can't see myself alone anymore with just you Akko, I think I should give a chance for love to flow between the three of us... Will you join us Akko? " Cavendish said holding out her hand to her girlfriend.
A little afraid and still in silence, the Japanese woman was reluctant for a while, but she gave in little by little, holding hands with her girlfriend and then going on to kiss the other who ended up joining in the trisal, this time the thing was becoming more official and they went on kissing in threes amidst all the landscape, which was still under the spell of the sixth word.
" I love you guys " Diana said.
" I love you guys too," O'Neill said.
" I think this could be fun, I admit I had a bit of a crush on Amanda in the beginning, this is all kind of new to me... A three"way relationship... " The Japanese girl said confused, scratching the back of her neck.
" It's going to be good... Now let's go back home, we have good news to tell " Cavendish said.
" For me I'd stay here for a long time just admiring the beauty of you two and the place, for everything Olivia still went through, she was too great... " Kagari said.
And so they really spent some minutes together, observing the landscape, sometimes exchanging caresses, sort of doing everything in threes, enjoying the novelty of a relationship that became polyamorous, something that had already been going on and insinuated by Amanda.
After the time spent the trisal went flying in direction to the house in the tree, arriving there they already find nobody less than Laura seated in the armchair with a very serious look in relation to the girls.
" Can I know where the pretty ones were? And why wasn't I told? " McLaren said.
" We went... We found the sixth word," Diana said.
" And the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, besides moaning the name of each one, isn't it Miss Cavendish? You were picking each other up in the middle of the Arcturus forest, how shameless of you... You hide your hickey marks badly " said the Irish girl.
" Wait a minute... You mean, Mrs. McLaren wasn't mad at me for being in the middle of all this fooling around? " said Amanda, confused.
" Fuck who was there and I have to get mad about it? There's the room for these things, by the way welcome to the Cavendish family Amanda O'Neill, I already knew that my suspicions of you ending up in a trisal were true... I think it's good for each one of you to explain exactly what went through your heads to get this stupid idea of getting caught outside where it's dangerous, honestly it would be better if you got caught in front of me than this ... " Said the redhead passing her hand on her forehead.
Surprisingly Laura's reaction was the most natural one in relation to the polyamorous relationship, but that still owed an explanation from the trio that was telling in more detail what happened, including cries amidst the memory that Diana III ended up dying and with that she finally gave up her life so that she could rest in peace, along with the other souls trapped in the middle of the body, which helped to unblock the sixth word, along with a feeling that was rolling between the three girls that was awakening, telling everything in more detail completely changed the reaction of the oldest who could understand better and even hugged the girls.
" Ohhhhhh, so that's what happened... I'm sorry for you guys... I never got to talk much with Diana III, but I can imagine how much she meant to you, she was a very close friend of my late great grandmother... I really hope she has found peace, as for the three of you... " Said McLaren who was in a calm tone and then went on to a more serious tone where the trisal was getting more tense swallowing their saliva.
" Mum... I don't know what made me have feelings for Amanda, it's serious, it just went to my head, but afterwards it was a relief, you know... I think a three"way relationship could work," Diana said.
" I don't know... I've never dated anyone other than your mother, you want to ask a person who is experienced in first dating to talk about these things... I only understand well because I am married and lived 31 years next to the same person, so I know exactly how she is and everything else, anyway, I wish the best for the three of you, I support and Bern too, it's not like we don't suspect something from you, you hide it very badly, just don't disturb the others with your fooling around, take it easy... " Said the Irish girl simply in a relaxed tone.
" It amazes me how quiet Mrs McLaren is " Amanda said.
" Mrs. McLaren nothing, call me Laura, I am your mother"in"law, you don't need to treat me as if you don't know me, especially now that you will know me a lot more... Since you are my new daughter"in"law, get ready to be treated as my daughter " said the redhead hugging the American girl and even giving her a few rubs on her head, who was laughing after all the gruffness.
" Now let's go to the bedroom girls, this whole thing has made me sleepy " Said the Scottish girl pretending to yawn.
" Holy shit Diana, you're terrible, I knew how to pretend much better that I was going to have sex with Bern, just go and have fun, wait... Guys, Diana, Akko and Amanda are going to the bedroom to have fun! Evacuate! " Laura shouted for everyone to hear, leaving the whole trisal full of shame.
And actually the girls that were in the room were getting out of there, then the trio was a little bit embarrassed, they were even magically pushed by McLaren herself to the room where they were watching each other in a more embarrassed way, but no doubt the inevitable ended up happening between them, that started to feel more intimate with each other, This was the first time in three of the threesome and it was a little bit clumsy at the beginning, but then it started happening naturally, even more because it wasn't the first time for any of them.
The sixth word, Lyonne, was revealed, which also put an end to Olivia's life, or Diana, as she was generally called. Margaret's experiment put an end to all the suffering she was going through, thanking her for the way she had been treated and how she had been protected until the end of her life so that she wouldn't leave.
Farewell, lesbian witches...
