POV Narrator:
Saturday 19 September 2020, Arcturus Arctic
A few days passed in the icy place, where Diana, Akko, Hannah, Amanda and Mary were finding a way to have access to the ocean under all that ice and so they could find some clue to where the next sound of Fluit An Neart is, besides a possible mine of wizard stones that could be of great help in a future mission and in the meantime the pipes were already being ready, Already signaling that soon the girls would be able to enter the icy waters and begin the search, with all the necessary preparation in conditions that are not at all friendly to be due to the low temperatures and also the danger of the unknown.
POV Akko:
We wake up, another day in this cold place, even inside here it's warmer, we have to go out soon to start acting and that will be the complicated part, I look at Diana and give a kiss to my girlfriend, then I notice that I'm without clothes, I think it must have been something that happened last night, I smile.
"Good morning love" said my Cavendish.
"Looks like last night was one of those nights" I say laughing.
"What does a couple do before a big mission? We have tae enjoy it," said my girlfriend, quite rightly.
"You are right love, now let's put on some clothes and have some breakfast before we leave to do our mission" I say to Diana.
And together we are getting out of bed, getting dressed and putting on our pyjamas, then we walk to the kitchen and there Hannah was already awake, as well as Amanda, the two of them were making breakfast, in this case eggs with bacon and also some toast, she is putting on the plates and Mary was also there, we
said good morning to everyone and went to eat.
"Looks like the couple have finally woken up" O'Neill said.
"It must have been too good last night" The England said leaving us a little flushed.
"You guys are so loud, I could hear you from the living room, both Diana and Akko, and Hannah and Amanda, you four are really shameless, you keep doing things for the whole world to hear, this way Miranda will find us" Said Mary making us a bit flustered.
And we went eating Hannah really excels when it comes to food, she was making a lot of good things, even those fish and chips I managed to like, even though I thought it was the most confusing thing in the world, it's actually kind of tasty.
I finish breakfast and get up from the table, then Diana comes with me, we go to the room, we put on an outfit more suitable for navigating the waters, a wetsuit and some layers on top in case we activate the mermaid form once we get to the sea, we also brought waterproof torches and many other things.
"Are ye ready love?" Diana asks and I shrug.
"Well, I think we'll know when we get down there, from the cameras we watched we couldn't find much, but in fact there is no huge creature" I tell my girlfriend.
"It's nae long now and we already have everything we need tae start this mission" said my future wife.
Then we go with everything prepared to go outside, with the clothes already ready, we even got a pipe thick enough to be able to swim in the shape of mermaids to the hole, the miracles that magic can provide, who would say, all ready, we open the access cover to the sea, already holding the pisces aquarium and we stare at each other.
"Are you ready?" I ask them, who nod their heads.
We put on the necklaces and Amanda jumped into the water and became a mermaid and was already swimming with all the excitement of the world from one side to the other, I couldn't imagine that it was going to be something so nice, but then I got up the courage and entered the water and it wasn't that cold, it was ok, I could stand it.
"Woah, the water is so good" I say swimming and loving the cold.
"That's right, let's throw these two in here" Amanda said, and we both threw water on them, and they immediately became mermaids.
"Akko!" shouts my girlfriend.
"Amanda!" Hannah shouts.
"Come on, you'll be jumping around like fish out of water" I say laughing and seeing the two of them giving us the middle finger.
Then they go jumping into the water and the five of us swim into the sea, this time going down the pipe towards the huge Arctic sea below us, looking around it's a huge void, but with the torches we can see much better, better even than the underwater robots we use to see all around.
"Wow it's really a huge void here" I say scared.
"I did, but where do you think the sound is anyway" Amanda said.
"We have to swim lower, just to see better" I say and aim the torches downwards.
"So let's split up, each one goes in a different direction, me, Hannah and Mary go up and you go down, who knows, maybe one of us can find a cave or something in this place" O'Neill said and we nodded our heads in agreement, but of course we made sure to mark everything, we put a strong light with a bright colour in the region near the hole where we dug, to know where to locate ourselves.
"Let's go!" I say, already signalling us to leave.
I'm going with Diana and Pisces to the bottom of this ocean, I really hope it's not deep, the good thing about this mermaid spell is that we are not affected by the pressure, we can swim to the bottom of the sea and we won't feel anything, and we went swimming, the good thing about this is that we can go deeper, it's just a bit tiring, but we can arrive.
"Do you think there's something down here?" said Pisces
"There must be some cave or unknown life form, who knows even the mine of sorcerer stones" I say as I sink deeper and notice that things kept getting darker.
"It's getting dark" Diana said.
And it's really dark now, but we can see that there are some fish at least, we're not alone and there at the bottom we could see what looked like a kind of purple glow, that's strange, but it could be our way of getting down there, it could be the wizard stone mines I don't doubt it at all, and we kept swimming, but I noticed something with the torches.
"Shit the pressure, we have tae use magic now or else these things will pop" Diana said.
"I had forgotten how pressure affects the lantern" We even stopped swimming.
"Pisces can you swim this far?" We ask her who goes on shaking her head in denial.
"The pressure here is my limit already, I think we have already swam about 1000 meters in the bottom of the sea, I'll stay here, I'll go depressurizing myself, you two continue without me, I'm sure you will find something that will be good for our journey" She said and then we continue to swim, using magic in the lanterns so that the pressure does not crush them.
Now we can get closer and our swimming is tiring, the deeper we go the more energy we need to get down there, it's strange but at the same time I love to swim like this, it's very liberating.
After the tiring swim, we arrived where the stones were shining and we could tell they are wizard stones by the way they were shining, but now I don't know how we are going to extract them, I even look at Diana and she looks at me.
"I dinnae know how we're going tae get it out" said my girlfriend.
"I so little" I say trying to pull one, but already getting tired.
We go together trying to get a piece, but our hands get a little hurt, well at least we have the location of a possible wizard stones mine, that's good, we might be able to find something that will help us, we will even film and take some pictures just to prove it more, a pity we can't use a radar or a tracker here, or else it would be our end, they could find us through that.
"Look, we really did find the sorcerer stones and there are a lot of them, even a bit big, ye can put them in the compartment of each lock and give them a huge power" Diana said.
"We will need many strong machines to extract something from here, our hands alone will not be enough" I said while trying..
I still try one last time in a weaker part and a smaller piece, who knows if we can get it out, and I was having the help of Diana, we're getting it out with great force, I'm feeling something pulling, it's a good sign, this is very good, we pull it out, but what came is blood, wait a little blood, what the fuck is this? What's been happening for this to roll? And we swim up with the piece in hand.
"Why is blood coming out?" And we saw everything moving, that's not really a sorcerer stone mine.
"Akko swims up" said my girlfriend.
The whole thing was moving and then we swam upwards, as it moved we saw that it wasn't a sorcerer's stone or a mine, but a huge dragon under the water that was falling asleep, so we swam full speed, and until we found some fish closer to the surface we saw its mouth below us about to bite us.
I couldn't resist but dropping the wizard stone and firing an explosion spell that was catching on the water, we jumped to the surface and managed to get out, then came the explosion which was strong enough to cause a stream of water coming out.
"What was that?" We said in shock.
"A dragon with sorcerous stones, how strange, I've never seen something like that before" Diana said.
"Ah, those dragons are a rare species," said Pisces.
"Wow, I did not expect this, it was too good to tell the truth, so it seems that the Sorcerer's Stone is less safe than we thought, the girls down there are in great danger, let's see if the dragon has stopped attacking us" I tell them.
I go jumping into the water, I swim down and see that the dragon was sinking, practically without any movement, blood coming out of the ball, I think the spell was too strong, anyway I think we have to be careful with all of this, from what it looks like we committed a murder here, the worst no doubt happened.
"He died..." I say as I see the animal still falling.
"We had to defend ourselves" Diana said with her hand on my shoulder.
"Anyway let's stay here and wait for Amanda and Hannah's presence, this they need to know" my girlfriend agrees and well we can stay here resting, we have a big discovery, the sacrifice of that dragon will not be in vain.
Meanwhile with the other trio...
POV Amanda:
Swimming up here and nothing for now, this dark sea is really huge, if we swim here we will spend years just to find where the sound is, luckily in the books there is the supposed location, which is near here, let's see if we find anything, I imagine that in the bottom the girls must have found pure gold, here we only find ice.
"Shit, there's only ice here" I say half sad.
"We can still find a cave" Mary said.
"You'd expect so much ice, we're in the Arctic, that's why everything is so isolated" She's right, but we'll still see if there's anything.
I was getting really bored, lucky that this water is not too cold and it is even quite bearable, the worst of it is that it still has a lot to swim, but we will get somewhere I can feel it, I will see a light up ahead and I will even swim faster.
"That's what we think!" I say all happy.
And so we go swimming at full speed, it's our hope of finding the long-awaited place, and when we get close we see that it's a cave to swim in, we go sticking ourselves in the middle of the holes and we go on what we came across a surface, when we come out on the inside we see that it's all a bit dark, which we pass around with the torch.
"It can only be here" I tell the girls.
"Kind of dark and scary place" Hannah said.
"Are you afraid that some monster will appear, love?" I say teasing her.
"Actually I do, we're not quite ready for that" said my girlfriend.
"I am, I took my sniper with a waterproof cover so any threat I sit the shot down" Mary said and I like that girl.
We walk this time, without needing to be in mermaid form, which is a relief, it uses a lot of energy swimming, the cave itself is very tight, the good thing is that there is still some air, we can see what we can, but there are many empty corridors and practically nothing, what a mess, when we walk a little further we come across a more open place which we use a spell to illuminate everything.
"Ah what a gold bag" We said together.
"Wow there's a whole treasure trove here" Mary said and I just kept rolling my eyes.
"I didn't want to find something like that, I wanted to find sound or a mine of sorcerer's stones" I said.
"I'll say, gold is just gold, well anyway there must be something in the middle of this gold, it's not possible" said my girlfriend and she's right.
"Let's then look everything amidst this gold" I tell the girls and that's what we do.
I've already got a lot of wealth, unfortunately inherited from the two beings who gave birth to me, I don't care about fortune, I just want the witches' revolution to end with this greed and people doing everything in the name of it.
The digging I've been doing doesn't yield much besides seeing the floor of the cave, on the other hand it seems Hannah couldn't find anything either, already Mary was another digging, she also seemed to be picking up some gold coins, I knew she was going to do that, putting them inside a bag.
"Oh Mary, you're going out with at least one more win aren't you?" I say teasing her.
"Actually I just want to make it more organized, like it or not the other one can be important for our revolution, both as construction material, and also to sell and get more resources for our revolution, we have to really put all the chances on our side, I don't know about you, but it is better that we do it or else we can run out of resources depending on what Mrs. McLaren has, any help can be welcome" She thought a lot here, I have to admit.
"No now you've thought big, we didn't want anything because we're both from very rich families, but we didn't think about the idea that this could help us" I say to Mary who went on filling one of the bags with gold.
"We have to have everything possible on our side, the revolution can't be done alone, we unfortunately need a lot of money for our resources, the things for the mechas are not cheap to get, apart from everything else, but anyway, let's find that sound soon" I liked Mary's way of thinking, she really thinks for the good of everyone and not just her own.
And we were helping too, I went filling some bags with the gold, now with another motive, this really could be incredibly useful for us, this now gave a little more motivation, I'm sure we can buy better stuff and I wonder how good gold can be in the construction of the mechas, there must be something useful to use this stuff for. I soon get to a wall and see something written in a strange language "nochtfaidh d'fhoirm dhílis é féin" followed by what looked like a score, it must be the sound, I take even my mobile phone and start to go
taking pictures, this will be really good for the girls, we managed to find the sounds finally, I go taking the pictures to get all the details and this will for sure help Diana, it's only half badly written on these walls, but I think it must be something important.
"I found it!" I say excitedly.
"Did you find the sound?" Hannah asks.
"I found it and now I've taken some photos, let's take them toAkko and Diana, they'll definitely love the news" I say excitedly.
We finished filling the bags with gold, now it will be good for something, in a lot of gold, besides the sound being recorded, I put in my bag in a little bag with my mobile phone, so there is no risk of getting wet and we all get ready to jump in the water.
I was the first, then Mary and then my Hannah that I even decide to kiss under water and it is a very unique experience, I was feeling wonderful here, ahhhhh, we went swimming together with the weight of the bags of gold, but at the same time with the sound in hands, that will help us a lot.
"We did it, we found the sound and we still have gold" I say happily.
"We helped with something on this adventure, I knew I could have been useful for something" Mary said.
"You've always been Mary, now we've reached another point in our journey, we can say we've been part of the witch revolution, this is really too liberating" I tell her, this really makes me feel important, I have a meaning a reason for doing what I do now.
After much swimming we arrive where Akko and his girlfriend are, they are with Pisces and are noticing that we are coming back with several bags of gold already I imagine that they will not react so well, just by the face of Cavendish, we do not steal for evil, before she comes to say something.
"Ye looted? Is that serious?" Cavendish said with her arms crossed.
"It's all my fault Diana, I thought for the good of the witches' revolution, in the cave there was a lot of gold and we thought of taking it to be able to use it in the name of having some greater financial security, to be able to buy resources, so much so that this gold will belong to everyone, not just to us, it will be directed only in the effort of the revolution' Brooks said and she speaks all sweet, I'm even impressed that she still confessed her guilt.
"Okay, I can take that one back. What about the sound? Were you able tae find anything? We also found something very revealing" Akko's girlfriend said.
"I found the sound, I took pictures for you to use later, now we really have to swim up, it's heavy here" I tell them.
"Come on then, I'll tell ye about what happened" Cavendish said and I couldn't take it anymore.
We went swimming up there, now the weight is less worse, arriving at the surface I throw my bag of gold up, as the girls do and I am relieved to be in my normal form, the only one that doesn't leave the water is Pisces, which has already given me a huge relief, my arms are too sore, they should have brought Hellene here, her arm would handle the job for sure, she could carry all the gold if she wanted to.
"And we discovered a source of wizard stones, but it's dead, it was a dragon with several encrusted wizard stones, but we couldn't get it out, when we did, the dragon kind of followed us and we sacrificed the stone we took tae get out of this alive" Cavendish said.
"A dragon with sorcerer stones and you still released the sorcerer stone" I say shocked.
"We killed him unintentionally, but it was either him or us"Akko said.
"By the way let's play the sound" I say showing Cavendish the mobile phone.
"Oh okay, I'll just decorate here and we'll see how it goes "she said.
And it didn't take long and soon Akko's girlfriend is playing with her flute, this sound she makes is very different from any other flute, but at the same time it seems that it's taking a different energy, I don't know
why, but anyway, I hope this can help us a lot, I could see the magic emanating around us, but it was involving mainly Pisces, then a smoke was forming, staying around us.
The smoke dissipated and we heard only a scream and followed by the sound of someone jumping from the water, when we saw who it was, we came across a naked woman with colored hair, she was shrinking in the snow
"Pisces?" Diana said shocked.
"Ahhhh... This water is really cold" she said, shrugging.
Akko was taking off her coat and wrapping it around her as she was getting cold, then we walked inside the house, where we took her to the bedroom, she was still a bit embarrassed and immediately went to change, we were kind of impressed, the teacher Pisces in human form is all cute, her hair is all coloured and looks like her scales, she is really beautiful.
"Hey pisces is very pretty" I say to the girls.
"Amanda!" They all say.
"Oh come on, you're going to deny it, she's a very handsome woman" I shrug my shoulders.
"Be more respectful tae pisces, she's just gone back tae what she's always been" Cavendish said.
"No problem girls, I loved the compliments" She came out of the room wearing pyjamas and goes waving at us.
"We didn't know she was so..." I say still drooling over her.
"Pretty? Ah the age even coming with me still left me preserved, but I have 49 years old in reality, but anyway, this is me for real, at least with some differences, my hair was not like that, I was blonde, my eyebrows show that a lot, well we can say that mission accomplished is not it" Pisces said being very nice with us.
"And do you remember anything?" Akko asks her.
"Now that I have the brain of a human I still forget a lot of things, but I know I have always been like that, you would be very useful in helping me to find who I really am, send the news to Mrs. McLaren and the girls, it will be wonderful" said the teacher who is a great milf, with all due respect.
"I'm already doing that, strike a pose fae the photo over there" Cavendish said.
And she was kind of looking at herself, at her hands and everything, how cute, it must be really liberating after spending 20 years in that fish form, she's really come a long way, I think I've really fallen in love, I mean... I better keep quiet on this one, Hannah will think I'm really wanting something with the teacher, but get out, she's 30 years older than me.
"Eleanora?" Cavendish said.
"Eleanora? I've heard that before" Pisces said.
"Yes that's what my mum's calling ye, she's saying ye're the Eleanora Maria White" she said and I don't understand any of it.
"Eleanora! That's my name, that's right, I'm beginning to connect the dots" Oh, now it makes more sense and beautiful name of this girl.
"My mother thought ye were dead, she also said she is missing ye terribly, I imagine ye have plenty of reason, I remember her saying ye were good friends, do ye even know ye have two children?" What? She's a mother on top of that.
"Two children? I am a mother? How did this happen?" I ask myself.
"Her eldest daughter Ruth is still hiding in fear, already her youngest son is my third cousin" Woahhhhhh, this is going to get even more shocking.
"Is sheAndrew's mother?" Said Akko and I think I know who he is, he's that guy that the mines are melting down over.
"Woah, that explains a lot, that's why your son is so handsome, I really wanted him, but they said he is gay, and you are also very beautiful, I think his beauty came all from you, since his father has no beauty at all" Mary said and it seems that there is someone else out there wanting Ms Eleanora.
"Oh, I don't know who these people are yet, but when my memory returns I will certainly remember my two sons with great affection, by the way, I didn't know that my son was also from the valley, I'm also from the valley, I've never said this, but I'm bisexual, I remember now, I had a girlfriend, but I don't know what happened to her... Does she still remember me?" said the lady all curious and cute.
"Naomi... My mother told me she passed away, it was quite recently, earlier this year in a landslide, in the prison she stayed, since they framed her fae killing ye" Cavendish said and she even got a kind of sad expression.
"Oh what the hell, why was the world so cruel like that? Sorry for everything, I don't remember anything, I'm still like a child discovering the world" she said and we shrugged.
"It's OK Mrs. Maria White, the important thing is that you are free from the prison you were in, the memory we can recover with the help of the flute and with the help of the Morris" Akko said to her and poor thing indeed.
Meanwhile, in Loperéc, tragedy struck as the Du Nord's house caught fire...
POV Miranda:
Another empty house, they really are running away from me to somewhere I don't know yet, but they can't do this all day, I won't stand here waiting, they really think they can escape all this, now another safe little place is leaving.
"Farewell Du Nord, stay burning in hell" I say looking at the house catching fire and then head for the portal to Ley's line.
I decide to take a different measure, this time I head towards the portal to London at the headquarters of the council of magic, already stopping inside the room of Minister Dorlin who is startled by my sudden presence, but they really don't expect it, I'm going to take a drastic measure now.
"What do you want this time, Miranda? I already gave you the best and most trained troops to guard Luna Nova, do you want more?" she asks, and I nod.
"Dorlin, I just want you to put a bounty on the search for some witches" I tell her.
"Are they criminals by any chance?" For me they are.
"Yes they are, they are on the run and they are with a runaway, they keep Croix Meridies in their custody, one of the WCI agents must be with them" I say being clear to them already.
"And who would they be?" asks the minister.
"Atsuko Kagari, Diana Cavendish, April Jordan, Hellene McLaren, Rosemary Morris, Chariot Du Nord, Mary Brooks and finally the leader of them, Laura McLaren she is the worst one I want here and now you finding her head, you have to give top priority to the capture of this witch" I tell her who is swallowing saliva.
"With the exception of Croix Meridies, none of them have committed crimes, Laura McLaren herself has only been a troublesome student who has had attempts at revolution, but she is not a criminal, how do you want me to look for them if they have committed no crime?" I quickly put a knife on the table already threatening her.
"You will not try to do it, you will do it, put them committing all the atrocities, even if it is not real, I want top priority on the capture of these witches, a reward of one million pounds given by me for the capture of Laura McLaren should make any attempt worth it, the others will be rewards of some tens of thousands of pounds, but anyway, you will do it and I want to give the minimum of chance so that they can have some freedom, do you understand me?" She nods her head in agreement and then I leave her room with the message already given.
I want to see now if they risk going outside, the whole world is after them, I'm going to alert everyone, they're going to think Laura Mclaren is all this, and they're going to be on high alert, she won't be able to hide all the time with her friends, she won't be able to under any circumstances, my eyes are going to be very alert to this.
POV Narrator:
The fifth sound of Fluit An Near was found and the true form of Pisces was revealed, being Eleanora Maria White, one of the revolutionaries and also witches who had been missing for over 20 years, even being given as dead, which already opens more horizons for the revolutionaries who won an ally who returned from the ashes, But they will have to deal with the imminent danger of what is the boss already starting to make demands to the witches council to put the revolutionaries as high dangerous criminals, since she has the absolute control of the witches council, scaring Dorlin and forcing her to do everything with Holbrook's will.
See you, fish witches...
