Luz and Amity watched Boscha did a hole in the snow and dirt.
"So, what are we looking for?" Luz asked.
There was a thunk and Boscha tossed the shovel aside.
"This." Boscha said pulling out a box, "My grandmother was an Oracle and she gave me something special. She told me that there would be two people in my life that would change me for the better, that I should give them these when I was positive of who they were."
Boscha opened the box and held out three rings. One yellow, one purple, and one red.
"I know the yellow one is for me, and I know the other two are for you." Boscha said, "Because you two have changed my life."
"So they're like…promise rings?" Luz said before gasping. "No! Destiny rings!?"
"That actually sounds about right, destiny rings." Amity said with a small blush.
"Exactly. They're destiny rings." Boscha said as she held out the box to Luz and Amity, wanting them to take two rings.
Amity grabbed the purple one, and Luz grabbed the red on. They put them on their fingers and smiled... which was ended when they were suddenly surrounded by Coven Scouts.
"Freeze, human!" A coven commander shouted as they all pointed crossbows at them.
Luz froze for a moment, her left eyes twitching a bit as slowly looking around at the Emperor's Coven scouts surrounding them. If this was a date, which Luz could assume as much, it was ONCE AGAIN ruined by who knows what force that hates her apparently!
'ARE YOU KIDDING ME, TITAN?!' Luz thought in outrage!
'The very SECOND I get a portal, we're having a date there!' Luz thought.
"Listen here you annoying bastards, I am getting very tired of you ruining my dates!" Luz said, pulling out her sword, "Now either you leave or I kill you, I am not in the mood to deal with you!"
The coven guards pointed their weapons at the trio, but weren't able to advance, when a large creature got between them, like it was protecting Luz.
"Is that-" Amity asked.
Luz nodded.
"The Death Glider."
They all assumed the Death Glider had died the last time they saw it, the cold of the Knee should've been it's end but it seems it evolved quickly and developed some resistance to the cold. And it was smart enough to remember the Emperor's Coven, how they held it hostage, how they hurt it. It also remember Luz, how she helped cut the collar off, how she helped it despite it trying to kill her.
"How is it still alive?! It should've frozen to death by now!" One said, shaking in fear.
It slowly stood up on it's hind legs and let out it's ear shattering roar.
Everyone but Luz covered their ears from the roaring, feeling extreme pain as the beast began charging at the coven scouts! It quickly stained the ground red with blood as it clamped its mouth around the upper body of a scout.
"Kill it!" A scout shouted as they turned their aim for the Death Glider instead of Luz now.
It didn't do much. Anything they hit it with, only resulted in it being angrier, in turn, making it want to kill them.
"Um…..should we run or help?" Amity asked them.
"No, we're going to help the Death Glider find a new home, away from where it will mess with anyone, and away from where the Coven will find it." Luz said.
"Didn't it try to kill us?" Boscha asked.
"It was forced to. You can't blame an animal for something it had no choice in." Luz said as she switched the Monado to light mode. "We need to help him, like he's helping us right now."
Luz ran at the scouts and slammed her sword on the ground, creating a large bright light that blinded the scouts. Luz looked at the Death Glider.
"We're going to get you somewhere safe."
The Death Glider looked at Luz and gave a small growl, making it seem like he understood what she wanted. But first, they had to deal with the scouts. Luz isn't a killer, and she doesn't want to be one, so she went with a non lethal way of taking them out. She switched to plant mode and covered them all in vines.
"If we have to, let me help." Amity said as she summoned her sword and swung abomination muck all over them.
It soon hardens from the could to make it even harder to escape.
"Great, let's get the giant reptile out of here before they get free." Boscha said.
The glider growled at Boscha for that, taking offense to being called a simple "reptile."
"It's okay, she didn't mean it. You're lean, mean, killing machine." Luz said as she caressed it's nose, "But she's right, we need to get out of here."
The glider nodded to Luz as it lowered itself, allowing Luz to ride on its back.
"Okay, this is cool." Luz said.
Luz got on the back of the Death Glider and held on as it rose up, spreading its wings to fly.
"Oh no! You're not taking our girlfriend!" Boscha said.
Boscha and Amity quickly jumped on so they wouldn't be away from Luz.
The Glider flew off from the Knee, leaving the coven shouts behind as they watched helplessly.
"Oh, Eclipse Enforcer isn't going to like this." One of them said.
The Glider flew to the other side of the knee and landed.
It let them off it's back as Luz rubbed its snout again.
"I know a place most people don't visit that would be perfect for you." Luz said with a smile.
The Death Glider went into a cave, motioning for them to follow, they did so and saw... a Death Glider Egg.
"Wait... you mean to tell me that this is a female?" Amity asked.
"Then that means... there's another Death Glider somewhere."
"I guess the history books were wrong, you're not extinct after all." Luz said with a smile to the female Glider. "Still, I have to wonder where your mate has been all this time."
Just as she said that, a larger Death Glider landed behind them. He growled at the three of them, until the female moved in front of them. The two made small hissing noises and nuzzled each other.
"He must've been looking for her since she was captured." Luz said.
"And now, that they're back together, they can be a family." Amity said to them.
"Hopefully somewhere they will never be in danger again." Luz said.
The male grabbed the egg and the two of them flew away, into the night.
Luz waved goodbye to them as they vanished over the horizon, leaving Bonesborough for good.
"So…shall we head back? I'm pretty sure those coven scouts are still trapped." Boscha said.
"Yeah, that's a good idea."
Summoning their staffs, the trio took off info the air and flew back to their camp. They were relieved to see everything still there and the coven guards nowhere to be seen.
"So, think we can finally have a nice relaxing camping trip?" Boscha asked.
"Yes, I think we can." Luz said as she looked over her new destiny promise ring.
She also remember about the want she brought.
"Oh, I also have a surprise girls." Luz said to them, putting her hands behind her back as she reached into back her pocket, "So, you know how I keep becoming your things? Well."
Luz pulled out the wand and hit Boscha with it.
"Aaaah!" Boscha screamed in surprise as she was transformed.
"Time for a little payback." Luz said, donning an evil smile.
Luz turned to Amity and saw her surprised look, quickly holding up her hands in surrender and hoping for mercy.
"What do you think of Boscha's new look, Mittens?" Luz asked.
"It's…good." Amity said as she reached and picked up Boscha in her transformed state. "But why this item, exactly?"
"Because it would be funny." Luz said, looking at the blanket in Amity's hands.
"Now, we can cuddle and keep warm thanks to Boscha."
"Unless you want to join her punishment." Luz said.
'Not a punishment if I enjoy it.' Boscha thought.
"No no, no punishment." Amity said as she moved to cuddle next to Luz, finding Boscha VERY warm, "She does may a good blanket. Very warm."
"You think that's because of her favorite spell besides transformation, is fire magic?" Luz asked.
"Possibly but she still warm none the less." Amity said.
Boscha was happy, she was keeping her girlfriends warm.
'Yep, I'm the best blanket.' Boscha thought.
'For some reason, I feel competitive.' Luz thought.
Luz had thought of herself as a good blanket when Boscha turned her but now, with the witch in the others shoulders, it seems like someone was challenging her for best blanket.
'This was meant to be a punishment for Boscha.'
Luz pulled out the training wand and thought about what else to turn Boscha into to make this a proper punishment.
"Luz, put the wand down." Amity said.
"Why? I wanted this to be a proper punishment for freezing me for threee days but it's obvious, Boscha is enjoying this." Luz said to Amity. "Maybe if I turn her into a children's toy or a frog from a fairy tail back in the day, it'll be a punishment."
"Luz, you can't punish her like that, she enjoys it." Amity said, "I've been at her sleepovers, this is the thing she used to do all the time."
"Seriously? So I basically get nothing out of trying to punish her? I might as well turn her back." Luz said as she looked to blanket Boscha.
'What? No!' Boscha thought, hating the idea.
Seemed ending the punishment WAS the punishment. Boscha pouted when she was back to normal.
"1. Why did you turn me back? And 2. You can keep my old training wand." She said.
"Because apparently, my punishment wasn't a punishment." Luz said as she put the wand away.
Boscha glared at Amity.
"Why did you tell her? I was enjoying myself."
"Luz wanted you to be punished, so I helped." Amity said.
"Hm!" Boscha said, crossing her arms.
"And the punishment is now effective." Luz said with a smirk.
"It is." Amity said a small giggle.
Boscha made a spell circle and pointed it at Amity. Amity flopped down as a 2d version of herself. Boscha got a stick and tied Amity's hands to it and stuck her new flag into the ground.
"I claim this spot in the name of Noceda-Triplet-Blight." Boscha said with a small smirk.
Luz laughed at this.
"It's a beautiful flag, Bo Bo." Luz said, "Did you make it yourself?"
"I did. And I'm very proud of it." Boscha said.
"Luz, please change me back!" Amity said as she clapped in the wind.
"Hmm... nah, I think you look cute like that. Might put you on my wall." Luz said.
"I was thinking the exact same thing! A girlfriend on the wall!" Boscha said with a smile.
"But you can't cuddle a flag!" Amity said to them.
"True, but that doesn't mean we can't have a little bit of fun with you before turning you back."
"Eh!" Boscha squealed in excitement, "What are we going to do with her!?"
"What are you going to do to me?" Amity asked with some worry.
"Hey, Boscha, have you ever done origami?" Luz asked.
"Nope."
Luz's smiled widely as the ideas began to flow and didn't stop.
"Well, origami is the art of folding paper into animal or human shapes. Some are simple and some are complicated but the end result is always amazing." Luz said to her and Amity, before grabbing Amity, "Observe."
"Aaah!" Amity let out as she was taken off the stick.
"Now watch carefully." Luz said as she began to fold up Amity, "It's all about careful movement."
"Okay." Boscha said, paying close attention.
"Luz, this feels weird!" Amity said as Luz folded her head.
"Almost there... done!"
Luz placed the paper hat onto Boscha's head.
"Tada!" Luz said with jazz hands.
"I love it!" Boscha said, giving Luz a big kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks, I knew you would!" Luz said as she hugged Boscha.
"This is weird yet I'm getting used to it." Amity said.
"Good." Boscha said, using a finger to adjust her new hat.
"I'd be happy to teach you more when we get back. You can make origami into animals too." Luz said to them.
"Really?!" Boscha said, acting like a kid on Christmas.
"Really." Luz said with a nod. "I'll even teach you to make an origami dragon. One of the best."
"Oh please no." Amity said.
"Yes! Teach me!" Boscha said as she hugged Luz.
"Luz, please don't do it when I'm like this. I could be ripped!" Amity said to her.
"Fine." Luz said, "But you're staying as Boscha's hat."
"What?!" Amity asked in shock. "I can't enjoy this trip with you both if I'm stuck as a hat!"
"Don't worry, we'll fix you, just give me a few more minutes with you." Boscha said.
Luz and Boscha cuddled by the fire as Amity sighed and remained silent. Waiting for them to turn her back.
"If I fall in the fire would I burn like paper?" Amity asked.
"Oh, definitely." Boscha said, "Luckily, my parents taught me a spell to fix you if that happens."
"Knowing how you are with pizza, it doesn't really surprise me that your parents know that spell." Luz said.
"Yeah, I was burnt to ash at least a hundred times." Boscha said, "Surprisingly, you reform feeling very refreshed."
Luz looked at Boscha for a moment, shocked and a bit unease that she was so casual about essentially dying and being reformed like a Phoenix.
"Boscha... you're never allowed to have pizza again."
"What? Why?" Boscha asked.
"Because you said that too happily." Amity said.
"Yeah, you were way to positive about you dying and coming back to life. That should traumatic." Luz said.
"It's not that bad." Boscha said, "Sure the fire stings a little but that's nothing bad. Besides, I've been eaten, crushed, flattened, burnt, inflated, popped, everything, that's the thing you deal with when you're a freak. It's fun."
"…..You say that so calmly yet when I say things like that, you take me to a therapist. Not that I didn't need it but still." Luz said blankly.
"Hey, I had therapy." Boscha said.
"Yeah, and the therapist hung themself." Amity said.
"What can I say, I'm special." Boscha said, adjusting her hat.
Luz stared at Boscha for a moment before holding up her wand, waving it to turn Amity back to normal as Boscha caught her in her arms. Boscha put on a stupid smile and looked at Amity.
"So... come here often?" Boscha asked.
Amity didn't reply as she picked up some snow and shoved it into Boscha's face. This got a laugh out of Luz as she watched Amity pull herself from Boscha's arms.
"Why must the beautiful ones leave?" Boscha asked.
"Because they are too beautiful for this world." Luz said as Amity sat next to her.
The trio all laughed at the joke was they continued to enjoy their trip.
