POV Narrator:
Friday 4 September 2020, Colinas de Doras
It was already searched all the people that were allied or friends of the revolutionary witches which could run some risk of being caught by Miranda Holbrook, with that they already had a step more for their security since they could be in a huge risk, In the meantime, the director of Luna Nova was reinforcing the security of the school to not allow the entrance of any of the revolutionary girls by Luna Nova, with the most skilled witches of the council, that even being the best, they were still afraid of Miranda's presence, that was making the minister Dorlin terrified.
With the first mission to protect and keep themselves hidden coming to an end, the revolutionaries could proceed with another phase of the witches' revolution plan.
POV Akko:
I get up after another night of sleep with Diana, we look at each other, we kiss each other good morning, we go to the bathroom, to do our personal hygiene.
We change and put on some clothes to spend the day, now we have one more mission to do, I think everyone we needed to get is already gone, we are already safe enough, I don't doubt it, we go downstairs to the kitchen, nothing like starting the day with chocolate balls with milk, it always gives me the necessary mood.
"Good morning girls" said my mother-in-law who had also just woken up.
"Good morning mum" said Diana.
"Today we will take another step in de witches' revolution as we are managing to get a lot of resources, enough to sustain ourselves for months, I also believe dat it was everyone who has any relation with us who could be at risk of being caught" Mrs McLaren said.
"The good thing is that there are more people on our side to defend us from any attack" said my girlfriend.
"Even my aunts came, I didn't really expect them here, I'm looking forward to see what's coming next in reality, are we going back to the words of Shiny Rod or else discover more sounds of Fluit An Neart?" I ask Laura who shrugs her shoulders.
"Well, that's de mystery, I'll tell you later, but it has a lot to do with dis" said my mother-in-law.
Lately I've been getting more excited about the witches' revolution, even though I'm getting hopeless after what happened, I have to keep faith in myself, I know we can make it, no matter how hard it is, well anyway I'm going to enjoy this breakfast, today could be a busy day, I imagine it won't be easy at all, even more with the challenges ahead.
Later the witches gather at the mecha lab, where there is an even fuller group working on everythingand the machines are practically ready...
Wow, that's a lot of people now, it's very good to see that most of our colleagues are here to pilot the machines and will face the boss and also that dragon, you can see that some of them are very motivated. Soon my mother-in-law appears on stage walking with her wheelchair, she takes a microphone and also shows us a picture, things have even taken bigger proportions than expected.
"We 'ave arrived 'ere at one more stage of our revolution, de guarantee of protection for all de revolutionary witches and allies, you may dink not, but all 'ere 'ave an important role in changing what will be de future of witchcraft and also of humanity, believe it or not, dings will be very different from what dey used to be, with dat we will start more new quests, Dese will focus on de maintenance of dis community, since we now 'ave many resources for months, we will also need to ensure dat dese resources continue to be frequent for everyone, so we will organize based on deir best skills to do some function dat helps in our coexistence, for example, who is good at farming could be in de function of taking care of de farm, who is good at fishing, works in fishing and who is good at hunting, will hunt, for now we 'ave to ensure a good organization and a system where everyone helps each other, 'ere no one owns anything, so for example if de farm has a bad harvest, it will affect everyone and we must 'ave a census of community among us, Dat said we will pass out forms where you will leave your information for de functions dat you dink can be most useful to de community, do not forget to distribute dem to dose outside, after everyone has filled dem out, please leave dem in a box at de door of Sifla's cottage, we need to start with a lot of organization so dat we can survive in de best way," said my mother-in-law and she spoke beautifully.
"And who is not good at anything?" Amanda asks.
"Look, it is also OK, those who do not 'ave any skills can continue 'ere without doing anything, de important ding is dat we know who is good at what 'ere, let us all help each other in de progress of dis place, it is temporary, soon you will be back, besides, you can trade among yourselves and everything else, I only ask dat you do not let greed go to your heads, we cannot keep going all the time to earth, since dere we may 'ave de chance of de boss finding us, are dere any more questions?" said Mrs. McLaren and I hope that everybody can really help.
"What about the mechas? What about the Shiny Rod? What about Fluit An Neart?" I ask this time.
"Now we come to another part, de mechs will soon be ready, but we will need a lot of magical energy, for dat we will need to locate a mine of sorcerer stones to be able to 'ave more power to de mechs, only de ones we got are not enough and will be used to protect us from a possible threat dat could come if Miranda Holbrook discover us, at last de two relics of de triskellion of Lilith, I 'ave been thinking and we will put dem in practice, de next song of Fluit An Near can be found with one of de books of de Morris family, already de last word of Claiomh Solais I still don't know, anyway, dat's it for now, do dese steps now and we will soon prosper a lot in dis world" Said Laura and finally we clap our hands.
Then the robots of Croix are giving us the forms to fill and I'm already writing down what I had to fill, here there are basic things, like name, gender, age, magic aptitude, qualities and what I want from the witches' revolution, I think it's time to leave a pretty text, even my mother-in-law already knows what I'm good at. Soon I finish to fill and I'm leaving it on top of a table where the other girls were leaving, then most of them were kind of leaving that laboratory, I went to the stage where Laura was and also the flute beside the staff.
"Are you ready for another mission with dem?" asks my mother-in-law.
"I will go with the flute and ye with the rod Akko" Said my girlfriend and I take my shiny rod.
"Let's go with me to the Morris house, surely dere must be a book dere dat talks about de next sound dey will need to complete de flute" Mrs McLaren said.
And there we went leaving the laboratory, going through the dark corridors until the stairway that goes up to the trapdoor, the two of us went up first and then with magic we levitated Laura who cannot use her legs now, she always gets a little bad when she has to do that, we followed the path walking to the outside, in the middle of the grass, we entered in the camouflaged forests, not even the wall that here there are chalets, we did well in hiding from Holbrook and soon we entered where the Morris girls are.
We went inside the cottage and there was Rosemary with her daughter and her husband, the three of them were watching television, we arrived with the forms and they too soon noticed our presence.
"Laura!" Mrs Morris said excitedly.
"Rose!" said my mother-in-law.
"Sae what brings ye here today?" she asks.
"Do you 'ave de biographies of Lorraine Morris or any books dat tell about some of de sounds of Fluit An Near? I imagine you must 'ave something about" Mrs McLaren said.
And soon she writes the word, Rose goes using the word with a spell and goes to the shelf of books that are starting to go flying, each of the three books that were found all over the shelf and open just on the page where is the first part where is found the word "Fluit An Neart" starting to glow.
That's wonderful I didn't know there was a spell like that, if I had known at school time it would have helped me a lot to study for the exams that were coming up.
"How could I not learn a spell like that?" I say confused.
"It is a forbidden spell in Luna Nova, with the excuse that facilitating the studies could end up leaving the students dumber and that forcing them tae read a whole book to find a specific topic was the right way, but on the contrary, it only leaves the student's mind full, but thanks tae spells like this the students could find it easier, even though it is forbidden I used tae use it hidden and we were never caught" said Mrs Morris.
"I was going tae say that, we are forbidden tae do that until today, it is one of the first things that the teacher Anne Finnelan used tae tell us, we had tae read the whole book and if we did nae understand the content that was taught tae us it is because we were nae trying hard enough" said my girlfriend.
We went looking at the books and saw that the word "Fluit An Neart" was mentioned on a few pages, in the first one it was about what a legendary flute is like, we even turned the pages and Lorraine described it sound by sound, that's good, but they were already sounds that we found, like the storms and the stopping time, until the next mention came another "The sound of memories", that's perfect.
"That's the one we needed tae find," Diana said excitedly.
"This was the third sound I found and also the last, it was a lot of work, I had to go in the middle of the ocean to find it, I hope I can help future generations that have this flute in hand, with this sound you can heal any memory that has been completely erased, it recovers everything, the most corrupted memories of a person can return to normal, but an important reminder, it can't be used on the outside, it would be necessary for the person to enter the head and play the sound inside, remembering to take the necessary care for when you are in another's mind, since anything that happens to you inside the person's head is enough to make you go into a vegetative state"
"Dat's interesting, let's get inside Mary's mind den, but before we do dat, we already know 'er mind can be dangerous, let's do it with us, you get inside my mind Diana, just to test it" Mrs McLaren said and let's see how well Diana does.
"Leave it tae me and I'll do it" said Rosemary's daughter.
And we went to the bedroom, where the two lay on the bed, the younger Morris uses the spell on the two who practically sleep, how interesting, I wonder what must be happening inside Diana's head now, or inside Diana's mother's head, from outside we don't notice anything, but inside it must be full of things.
Inside Laura's mind...
POV Diana:
I go walking inside my mother's head I finally arrived, it seems a huge dark void, it's strange, it seems that I'm wide awake in here, well anyway it's time tae go following the light, for sure that's the way.
When arriving in the light I arrive tae a field all open, it seems a lot like our house, a field all full of life, I'm with the flute in hands, also with a little note of what the sound is, I'm looking around and it seems a calm place
"Diana, you are probably listening to me, it is me Phoebe, I can communicate from the outside and see what you are seeing now, for the spell to be performed it is necessary that you reach a place in the person's mind that is responsible for the memories, but this depends a lot on how the person's mind will allow you to enter, try to find your mother and she will be able to indicate you" Phoebe said and I signal with my thumb.
I go walking through the yard that looks like home, I see that my mother has her back tae me, nae only her, my other mother, what I go running all excited, seeing that she is there, I can't believe she is here.
"Mum!" I call tae the two who notice my presence and we meet in an embrace and it even gave a somewhat real feeling.
"I'm nae really Bernadette, I'm just a manifestation of her in Laura's head, it's the way she thinks I am" she said.
"Well anyway, even if you are not Bernadette it is good to 'ave you 'ere with us," said my other mother.
"I already knew that ye are not my real mother, but I still get emotional when I see ye, or someone who looks like her... I'm sure my mother made sure tae make a very faithful version of my mother Bernadette" I say while holding her hands.
"Look perfect I wouldn't say, but I think Laura knows how tae do her thing, now come on lassies, we are going tae go ahead in this test" said the manifestation of my mother Bernadette.
And we were walking by the backyard, it is a very quiet place, I never thought that I would feel sae light here, my mother's mind is kind of soft, I thought that it would be a place completely different from this? A place more suitable tae Laura McLaren's personality, we went inside the house, we arrived at the corridors and it is very beautiful here, we went inside until we arrived at a room, in it many things appeared and my mothers were covering my eyes.
"Diana! Don't you see dat now!" said my mother Laura with shame.
"Ye take me tae this room only tae come across memories of ye two..." I say with shame.
"'Ere is de memory centre, play de sound soon to test everything" said my mother Laura.
"And how am I going tae play without seeing anything?" I tell them since I had nae yet memorized the score of the sound I was supposed to play.
When my eyes open, I find myself facing the image of my mother Laura with her legs open and my mother Bernadette's head there... I think that I am going tae have nightmares with that at night, I already lower my head tae see the score of the sound, I start tae play, I even keep my eyes closed, I feel the magic flowing.
"Excellent job Diana, I could hear everything, but after what I saw there I also had to close my eyes" Phoebe said and I kept my eyes closed, until I felt the magic was gone.
I think that's all now, when I open my eyes I even see my mothers thinking it's the cutest thing in the world, but I'm faced with an image of my mother Bernadette simply in the highest definition and detail with her legs spread and my head sticking out of there, I turn my face in disgust and they're still finding it beautiful, the worst thing is that now all the memories are left like that, I even leave that place soon to traumatize myself.
"What is it, my daughter? I could remember you being born" said my mother Laura.
"I'd rather ye dinnae remember sae many details," I say relieved and leave the room.
"Oh stop it Diana, dat's how you were born and dat's how my granddaughter will be born too, dat's where babies come from, can you tell me dat at 18 years of age you thought dat everything came from de stork after 9 months of sex?" I just deny it with my head.
"Of course I know, but it's nae a nice thing tae see, especially when it's yer head coming out of that hole" I said very clearly.
"I understand ye lassie, it is nae a very nice thing tae see, nae tae feel either, but anyway thanks fae making Laura's memories even clearer, that helped a lot" said my mother Bernadette.
"Dank you truly daughter, you could help me to recover with more clarity moments dat I lived, for moments like this dat I don't want to forget, I love you" Said my mother Laura and I am even getting better with this caress in my head.
"And now how do we get out?" I ask Phobe looking up.
"Awwww, I couldn't help but melt for this cutie, it's quite simple, I'll do a spell for you to come back, in 60 seconds you two will wake up, make the most of this time" Phoebe said and now it's time to say goodbye.
And so walking hand in hand we went to the outside in the landscape of the sun, still missing 30 seconds, the good thing is that my mother Laura can control everything in her mind, we stayed watching a landscape of sunset in front of a lake, a beautiful thing, even more with my family here, even not being mother Bernadette, gave me the feeling that it was.
"I am very happy tae have ye two as a mother" I say smiling and already starting tae cry.
"We are both happy to have you as a daughter" said my mother Laura.
"I hope ye two can accomplish the witches' revolution, even dead I won't stop believing in ye, I know ye'll succeed, I know the future of magic will be in good hands with these wonderful people with whom I formed a family and formed bonds, ye two are the most special people in the world to me" I was already crying, tears falling everywhere, this will be special to me.
"Ye spoke very beautifully mum, ye really know how tae manifest right how my mother Bernadette was" I say all happy and see that she was starting tae float in front of us.
"Before I leave fae the other world again, I want tae say that I love ye and it was really good tae say goodbye tae ye one more time, getting inside Laura's mind thanks tae the fact that it's another reality plan is the kind of thing I can do too, goodbye ye both, take care" I was shocked and that in the last seconds, I was crying, I already felt the magic involving me, it disappearing in the middle of the sunset.
We wake up in the middle of Rosemary's room, looking at the world I even wipe my tears, that was more real than it seems, I look at my mother lying beside me, we stared at each other, sharing glances, I was getting all full of feelings that were surfacing, we hugged each other, I could never think that the manifestation of my mother in reality was really her and not something from the head of my other mother.
"She appeared to us again" said my mother Laura.
"I wonder if it wasn't yer mother's doing? If it was ye were great" I tell her and she denies it with her head.
"I didn't have any control, even I was confused, I thought I even was, but I couldn't control anything, it was really your mother, she can by seen manifesting on de spiritual plan of my head, seeing 'er again makes my heart all full, I'm really fulfilled with all of dis" I get very emotional.
"Well the spell was well done, tomorrow it's time to test with Mary Brooks, but it has its risks, it will be very careful so that the worst doesn't happen anyway, I don't want her to end up in a coma and neither do you, from what I remember from Lorraine's diary, she tells that she almost got in this state of coma just trying to recover the memories of Wendolyn Benson, because it was too dangerous, she opted for the riskiest method, in which she recovered little by little the memories of Wendy, it will be a process never before repeated and it will be necessary several witches for that, but a sound of the flute is already gone" Phoebe said and we immediately stared at each other.
"We already know who de boss is, dis would only serve to keep us from knowing, it would be de risk we would take, but now do we really need to?" said my mother and I immediately denied it with my head.
"I know that in the common sense it would be better tae leave it aside and just let her recover the memories little by little, but we can try tae recover, I dinnae know about ye, but I see this as a way tae have our victory against the boss in the middle of this war that we have already been put in, we can't just rest with our arms crossed, we have tae really act and put forward the action, the me before would say to leave it aside, but the me today says that it is important, are we going tae leave a girl with her head all destroyed because of the boss? I learned a lot of things these years and with Akko I learned to have empathy and help the others, noe matter if the situation is going tae be risky" Now I sad beautifully.
"Diana, that was really beautiful, look of all the things you said, this was one of the most beautiful, this just shows that you're having a more human side, I'm even glad that you took this attitude because of me" she said all sweet.
"Really Diana, you just prove dat you are an even more worthy witch, I wouldn't say dis now, but I see you as de future minister of magic, I see you making a new council dat is fairer to witches, you and Akko would be perfect for dis position, but anyway, I'm proud of you girl, not just anyone makes de decision of wanting to save a life risking deir own, dat's what I most wanted to see in dis revolution, you really just prove dat you are worthy of all dis" said my mother and I was getting emotional.
"Look I'm just saying it's a very complicated terrain, it would take you guys with a lot of magic to be able to handle what could come, if you die somehow in someone's head, their memory is in tatters" Phoebe said.
"That is a victory fae us against the boss, if that is what it is I will try, tomorrow I will go tae Mary and we will all do it fae our friend" I say well motivated.
"Now at least there are only two sounds left, I think us having very powerful sounds at hand can help, we have the one to stop time, we have the teleportation one, it can be useful" Akko said.
"The problem is that the teleportation sound I can only use if I know the exact place where it is, it shouldn't work inside someone's head, since it's another plane of reality" I tell them already being a bit clever.
"It's decided, I will take a good look at you, if things get too bad I will trigger the 60 seconds, I don't want to risk you dying in this situation" Phoebe said and we understood.
Then we all joined hands, already motivated fae what is going tae happen, and then we went up, it's now or never, it will be the moment that will define our lives once and for all, I hope that I can really recover Mary Brooks' memories, I would feel much better if I could achieve this feat, it could be the first time that this happens in the witches' history.
Away from Doras came another not-so-pleasant surprise, with the boss coming to the home of theMcLaren...
POV Miranda:
Now the day has come, time's up, I've given them a whole week to get here, well I hope they are very devastated by the destruction of the Cavendish house, now here I am, arriving in Dublin, I'm walking around the yard, I even have some memories from here... Just before I hired Denise, when we had something between us.
"Oh Denise, what your family has become..." I say alone.
I soon enter the house and see that there's no one, it seems they must have left, the furniture is still here at least, it can't be that they have fled or something like that, well anyway I'll take a good look.
I walk in each room and there isn't anybody, so they must have left, what I go walking until the garage, I see that the cars are not there, none actually, the garage was all emptied, I think that Laura's dad left for some event with his cars.
"Well, apparently it's time to leave this place different" I say to myself and notice some more little houses.
I take a look at the tree house, I see some pictures and drawings, "Laura, Chelsea and April", "Laura +Bernadette" oh how cute, it's a little tree house of Miss Laura McLaren look how many cute drawings, look they even had a video game, what a cute thing, a shame that will meet that.
"Bye bye treehouse" I say already doing a flame spell on a sheet of paper where there was a very detailed drawing of Laura and Bernadette exchanging caresses.
I next go to the other little house that has Shiny Chariot drawings, I see it is even written "Shiny Chariot Museum" ah so this is it, what a lovely little thing, I imagine it will be quite a loss for Laura McLaren's incest daughter to lose her museum of her great admirer, oh what a shame, it will all go downhill now.
"Bye-bye Shiny Chariot museum, you'll burn too" I say looking at the fire that started by catching on one of Chariot's little dolls.
I then cast an even stronger spell on the house itself, which I end up having a vision right in front of me, a spirit, which is walking towards me, it was Denise, she keeps watching me, with a look of disapproval, which I keep keeping my gaze steady.
"Is this what you want for my family?" she said.
"Your family has earned this" I say to the spirit without any fear.
"Miranda you are just falling apart amidst your blind belief, you will one day end up being defeated by everything you say you believe in and things could get much worse, you should have listened to me more, I told you things would get worse" I didn't care and continued to catch fire.
"Understand one thing Denise, you and your legacy are gone, now it's my turn to triumph, you were a deluded by Victoria, you were all washed up, look where you ended up, you died because of your beliefs" I tell her and then just went on ignoring.
I decide to watch the burning of the McLaren's house right in front of me with the wizard stone already in my hands, little by little I'm getting more magic power, my next target will be the Du Nord, I could even go after April Jordan around here, but I'll just leave a warning, they'll know I'm not joking, meanwhile I'll enjoy the show.
"Are you satisfied?" Denise asks.
"I didn't want to do this to a traditional family, but you have earned this fate, now look at what you and Victoria believe going down in flames" I tell her who shakes her head in denial.
"Your affront to the nine witches will make you pay dear Miranda, you are burning yet another sacred ground, it was the Cavendish, now it was the descendants of Madeleine and Kara, if you continue this you will cause their wrath, you will be defeated by tradition itself, this is not a threat, it is a warning" said Denise who then disappeared into the sky.
"You who are deluded to think that, you are misrepresenting the values created by the nine witches, I just want to keep theirs, I know that material things like house and witch stones don't matter to them, it is only the
story that matters and she will say that I am on the right side" I say that still watching the fire consuming the McLaren's house.
I am not wrong in this, I have more experience, not to mention that Laura is deluded by Victoria's speeches, I know what is right, even though Jennifer was not alive when I was born, I learned her values and I know that what I do is right.
POV Narrator:
Another sound has been found from Fluit An Near, but an adventure may come as she tries to cure Mary Brooks of the evils that so much goes on in her head, an ordeal for the girls who want so badly to defeat the mischief Miranda Holbrook has been causing the witch world, a threat that has been causing tension.
See you, mind witches...
