The dungeon on Triskellion Island has finally been explored and conquered, which has brought another of the nine witches to the sacred temple of the witches themselves where they will be taken from the seal when the girls finally pass through all the dungeons and discover the seal of each of the nine, already preparing to leave the island on a long journey to continue moving forward.
That morning everyone was already organised with their things, putting them on the boat that would leave the island to explore the rest of Hyrule in pursuit of the mission of the nine witches. With everything already organised, they began to say goodbye on the pier, with very warm hugs, as nine girls were about to set off on a journey to mysterious and unknown places.
"Goodbye girls, stay well and always communicate with us when you can, we'll always keep in touch to see how well you're doing" said Croix.
"I didn't even want to say goodbye, but let's take care of this place, it's special for the witches, we'll stay here very well, soon they'll be here with us at the end of this great journey - said Chariot.
"It's okay Chariot, I'll do my best to make sure the mission is completed, now come on girls, we have a long journey ahead of us" said Akko.
A final group hug is given, with everyone standing close together receiving hugs and cuddles, then the whole group sets off in the boat where they begin to sail across the waters of the immense ocean that surrounds the land of Hyrule with only one destination in mind until then, the island of Hyllia.
The route is a few kilometres to the north-west as it is a little further away from Triskellion Island, although it is one of the closest, and it is also on the way to the island of Eire, the girls' next destination
"To think that we're back on this boat, all of us going on a journey, it's bizarre to think that before all this we would have met and stayed together on such a great and important journey" said Diana.
"I didn't imagine that one day I would marry the princess of Wedinburgh, I left Luna Nova just wanting to go on adventures and one day meet the Chariot who motivated me so much to become a warrior, I didn't imagine that I would have so much greatness in my life" said Atsuko.
"Even with everything that's happened in the last six years, we've been able to realise our dreams and that's what fills my heart the most, I'm always so happy to remember that I've been able to reach such heights, well now we just have to see what happens, look at the immensity of the place we're saving, all the people who live there will finally be able to free themselves from the tyranny of bloody Hanbridge" said Marianne.
"Well, I didn't even want to be in it so much, but now I feel like it's fun even, having you around as friends is really nice, it's a shame we have such a heavy burden of things to do" said Sucy.
They continued chatting, looking at the horizon. Amanda was the one who steered the boat through the waters, which were very calm and even windy in a very calm way, but enough to take the boat to its destination, which was getting closer and closer with each passing day. The calm ocean at that moment also made the girls feel more at ease, and soon some of the wonders that swim there also appeared.
Whales could be seen from afar, coming out of the water and even jumping up and down and then opening their huge mouths in groups, coming closer to the boat and the girls gazed in amazement at these huge animals.
"Look at the size of those things, and they look like they're just living peacefully" said Kagari.
"They're whales, I remember I learnt about them in the books in the castle, they're majestic creatures that are peaceful, they eat something in the water that you can't even see, apart from fish, opening their huge mouths" said Cavendish.
"Woah, they're coming this way, I hope you're right about that love, because just by jumping you can see how hard they're swimming" said the one with the crimson eyes.
"I think they're looking for fish that are following the boat, they must be hungry" said Hellene, shrugging.
The huge creatures came closer and closer, which allowed us to see the show of those spiracles releasing air as they passed, and then the huge creatures swam under the boat, which emitted some sounds as well, and some even came close to the boat, which allowed the warrior from Luna Nova to reach out and touch just the head of one of them, feeling its peculiar skin, being surprised by the texture where the creature followed her swimming path.
"Wow, nature is really beautiful, I never thought I'd see such a majestic animal up close, they have a strange texture, but at the same time they're very calm, for their size it's really strange" said the brownish one.
"The sea has its mysteries, we don't even know what else is down there, it seems that there must be some very scary creatures, it is very rare to find one of these, it reminds us of the dolphins that accompanied us on the way to Triskellion Island" said the Queen of Wedinburgh.
"Those dolphins were really cool, they do even more manoeuvres, it's a shame we didn't get in the water to see them up close, but they seemed to love the fish we threw in the water and even made some noises" said the other queen of Wedinburgh.
The conversation flowed and even some other aquatic animals appeared around them, such as flying fish, some of which were able to glide so high that they passed over the boat, others that hit the sail of the boat, which were then returned to the sea and they continued like this for a few hours, until the island could be seen far away.
Little by little they approached Hyllia Island, where there was already a beach and as they reached shallower waters, they lowered the anchor, which they then left in smaller boats heading for the land where the site is located, already noticing that there was even a village a little way inland from the
"We have to be careful, we don't know if they're not Appleton's allies or not on this island, we have to be very vigilant" said the platinum blonde haired woman.
"So far from the land of Appleton that I doubt it very much" said Amanda.
"Don't doubt that man's tyranny" said Akko.
They continued to sneak along the beach, entering a forest that was close to the city, where they approached and saw something that already brought comfort, flags that indicated that they were still allies of Wedinburgh, because they had the flag of the kingdom that had been taken.
"That's the flag that used to be at home, maybe they'll be peaceful for us" said Hellene.
"Hellene waits" said Diana.
The McLaren was soon approached by a guard at the entrance to the city, who wanted to know who she was and, on identifying the McLaren's face, was surprised. When he saw that Cavendish had also come after her sister, he and the other guards bowed in front of the girls.
"What is this? What are you doing?" asks the confused blue-eyed girl.
"The princesses are in town, we thought they were more Appleton troops trying to strike fear into you, we were honoured to have had an honourable visit from you" said the guard.
"Oh come on, it looks like they're pretty safe" said Atsuko excitedly.
They walked through the small town and people were already staring in surprise at the group of warriors, who were even being escorted by guards, to where the town's administration building was located.
They entered the building, passing through the reception area where they met a blonde woman who was sitting with her feet on the table and was surprised to see who they were.
"Oh for the Triforce, it's yourselves" said the woman.
"And who are you?" asks the confused queen.
"I'm one of your mum's friends, Eleanora, I've been put in charge of looking after this island which is well hidden in case things go wrong in the war, welcome, we had no idea you were alive and well... Unfortunately, Appleton turns up here from time to time to pay tribute to our island and we pay for fear of an invasion and a massacre" said Eleanora.
"Oh you're Eleanora, the warrior from the land of Londinium who was simply one of the most intelligent, my mum talked about you a lot, until you managed to spy on the reign of Appleton at the time to win the war" said the one with the platinum blonde hair.
"It's me, Your Majesty... Or whatever you are now, but anyway, it's a long story, we're very grateful for your visit here, the house may be modest but it will be able to welcome you all very well, make yourselves at home" said the town administrator.
"Thank you, well we came here with a goal in mind, my wife will explain it better, she's the one who found out about this island" said the blue-eyed woman.
"Mrs Eleanora, we have come from Triskellion Island, we are following a long journey after the nine witches and the seven words of Claiomh Solais, we have an important mission that involves the power to defeat the tyrant Andrew Hanbridge once and for all, I came here because I have a wishing fountain that is legendary, do you know anything about it?" Akko said.
"Oh interesting, the legend of the nine witches turned out to be real then, fate really did bring you here, my other majesty, I'm sorry to inform you, but I very much doubt the veracity of that old cave where the wishing fountain is, but I can take you there, it's an old abandoned fountain that's no good, you've tried throwing more and more Rupees, they always disappear, so it's just a waste of Rupees" Eleanora said.
"Well, it doesn't hurt to try, Your Majesty? - said the confusedAtsuko.
"You are the wife of the first-born of the royal lineage, as the queens were murdered she becomes the first person in the royal lineage to be on the throne and as you are married this is a sign that you are the queens now, forgive me for speaking to you in this way, Your Majesty, I am only trying to be as sincere as possible, you can be sure that I am also willing to take your orders as well" said the blonde.
"Well, everyone really thinks so, it seems that we really are the queens, but we don't even have any land to rule over, we have to take everything back to avoid Appleton's tyranny, it's going to be complicated because three of the dungeons to come are under the control of just that bastard" Cavendish said.
And soon they are accompanied by Eleanora, walking through the town, to a trail that is quite safe and that the whole town usually goes to, to a place where there is the entrance to the sacred wishing fountain, a cave, which even has a sign indicating that this is where they should enter.
"You see, it's here, as tradition dictates you must go on your own, good luck my queen" said Eleanora bowing to Kagari.
"What an exaggeration, I'm not like that, I'll go then, I want to see for myself if it's true, the source is safe by the looks of it" said the one with the crimson eyes.
Alone, the Queen of Wedinburgh goes into the cave, which even lights up by itself as she walks further along, with the lamps lighting up as she goes, when she is right in front of a beautiful spring of water, she takes a Rupee out of her handbag and throws it towards the spring, but nothing happens.
"Yeah, I don't think just one Rupee makes any difference, I need to throw a few more, I'll throw a blue Rupee, maybe that'll do something" said the warrior from Luna Nova.
Nothing happened with five Rupees, just a tremor as if the Rupees had been thrown in, so the girl put her hand on her chin, threw in a red Rupee worth 20 Rupees and it was something else, but it was still nothing, so she decided to throw in another red Rupee and four green Rupees to make it fifty Rupees, and this time something very peculiar happened.
A woman in a long white dress with long blonde hair appears in the fountain with wings on the back, indicating that she is a fairy and proving that the fountain really works.
"It works, the wishing fountain really works" said the impressedAkko.
"You've finally appeared, a heroine has been chosen this time, I can grant you a wish for your courage to have come this far on Hyllia Island and offer the Rupees to give more power to the sacred fairy of the wishing fountain" said the fairy.
"I want to defeat Andrew Hanbridge and the spirit of Ganondorf, I want to have the power to defeat him once and for all, I want to bring peace to the land of Hyrule" said Atsuko.
"Oh I see you wish for things similar to what all the heroes here have gone through, I can't grant wishes that involve defeating evil unfortunately, it's out of reach, but I might be able to make you have even greater power, I'll be able to grant two wishes, with the power of the Rupees I've been given, I can increase either
the number of bombs you can carry in your suitcase or the number of arrows you can launch, choose wisely" said the fairy.
"I can only choose one of the two?" Kagari asks in confusion.
"You can raise more times by continuing to send Rupees, but you can only do this once with each Rupee move, so what do you choose?" asks the fairy.
"Increase the number of arrows I can carry" said the crimson-eyed one.
The wish was soon granted to the warrior from Luna Nova, the number of arrows she could carry increased from 30 to 35, which she repeated the process of throwing more Rupees, she continued until the fairy reappeared.
[...]
700 Rupees had been spent on that fountain alone, and she just wanted to increase the number of arrows she could carry, which was increased to 99 arrows, which the fairy couldn't increase any further as that was the maximum limit the brown one could carry, so she threw more Rupees at it again, to attract the fairy's attention, who soon appeared again and she tried to ask for more arrows.
"Please let me carry even more arrows" said the Queen of Wedinburgh.
"I'm sorry, but you've reached your limit, you can only carry 99 arrows, what I can grant is that I can increase the number of bombs you carry, so that will be the wish granted for now" said the fairy who increased Akko's number of bombs to 15.
(Hmmmm so 99 is the arrow limit, good to know, at least I've been able to triple the amount of arrows I have on hand, it'll be perfect to use with the staff itself, now I'm going to increase the amount of bombs I can carry, let's see if that will improve anything, I've still got about 249 Rupees here, I'll throw in the rest and see what comes of it).
Akko kept increasing the number of bombs, going to 20, then 25, 30, 35, but when it came time to throw the last 49 Rupees, she was walking backwards, almost getting out of there. She was even a little frustrated at not getting the last Rupee, but the fairy appeared anyway, with her arms open, to help the girl.
"Well, you've sent almost 50 Rupees and as I know that heroes can't carry more than 999 Rupees, I assume that you've already spent all of that, so I'm going to make an exception with you, I'm going to allow you to increase the number of bombs you can carry to 40, which will only be 100 Rupees short of the limit of bombs you can carry - said the fairy, who was already using her magic on Atsuko, who had a huge smile on her face.
"Thank you very much, I just wanted to know one thing, and then what? What do I do then? Is that it?" Kagari asks.
"It's not over here yet, well, once you've maxed out the bombs, you can try enchanting an object of yours to improve it, it doesn't cost any Rupee, but you need to max out the bombs first, now I'm going" said the fairy, who disappeared.
The crimson-eyed girl walked out of the fountain and the girls were surprised that she had stayed inside for so long, even thinking that something worse had happened, so much so that her worried wife tried to get in, but there was a force field preventing her from accessing the place.
"I thought some monster had attacked you, love" said Diana.
"Something better has happened, the fountain really works, but it doesn't grant wishes as specifically and efficiently as giving fancy things, but I've been able to get better, I carry 99 arrows and 40 bombs, but I now need 100 Rupees and my last wishes will be granted, it's helped me become even more powerful, before I couldn't even come close to carrying all that power" Akko said.
"Woah, so that's what the wishing fountain was for, it really worked for you, the legend said that a fairy appeared, it seems to be true, I'm grateful that spending time on this island made you even more powerful, defeat that damn Andrew from Appleton" Eleanora said.
"Take it, love, I had these Rupees saved up, I love you, go on and become more powerful" Cavendish said, handing her girlfriend five red Rupees.
As soon as Atsuko returned to the cave, she threw three red Rupees, which the fairy appeared and gave her five more bombs, then she threw the other two, maximising the number of bombs, carrying fifty, but there was still one thing missing, namely the items from the dungeon, since it had been said that she could have a wish granted if she threw one of them.
"Now I've got my bombs and arrows to the max, I just want to see the item that's going to make me the most improved," said the anxious Kagari.
The first thing she threw was the boomerang and soon the fairy appeared to her and caused magic to flow through the object, which had previously been a bluish colour and began to take on a reddish colour, as well as emitting a light around it, which surprised the warrior from Luna Nova.
"You've already been lucky enough to throw the first item and it works very well, this boomerang is now magical, it will be able to paralyse stronger creatures, in addition to you having greater control of its trajectory, also serving as a magical device since these lights can cross any barrier, this can help in many places, well I hope you throw more things" said the fairy.
And soon she was doing this, throwing more things, only that most of the items were just returned, many of the ones she picked up, even Claiomh Solais himself, the master sword, which soon the witch was thinking about the boot she was wearing, she throws that boot she got from the siflas and this ends up making the fairy appear again.
"Another item you've found that will improve your powers, these boots will be very useful for your adventure, now I'll enchant you with the change" said the fairy.
"I admit that I've used her race very little because I always have a charge time for it, which makes it very unusable" Said the Queen of Wedinburgh as the red boots gradually turned a brown colour until they looked simpler.
"Now you'll be able to walk on walls and even ceilings, and you'll also be able to run with agility without having to carry a load beforehand, which will greatly improve your walking, in short, these are the things I can improve for you Akko, I hope you have good luck on your journey, that's all I can do to help" said the fairy.
"Look, it's helped a lot, thanks fairy" said Akko, leaving the cave and simply walking along the ceiling.
She walked all the way like this and along the walls, loving the fact that the boots could make her walk on so many different surfaces without being pulled by gravity, at least she still had a pull, but the boots held her walking on the ceiling, which when she came back they were all surprised to see Atsuko simply stepping off the ceiling and walking upside down.
"What is it Akko? How did you get it, is the source so powerful?" Said the surprised Hellene.
"It only works with the heroine, I wish you could enjoy it, but I did get these cool boots that let me walk on the wall and the ceiling, hey love how about we do an upside down kiss, me upside down and you come here, it should be interesting" said Kagari.
"What a silly idea, love, but I'm going to do it just because I want to know how it turns out" said Diana.
Soon they were kissing in that peculiar way, with the crimson-eyed one upside down, then getting more intense to the point where she even let go and they both fell together under the weight of each other, to the point where the brownish one was laughing as she lay on the ground and a big smile came from Eleanora, seeing that she felt nostalgic when she remembered the old queens.
"Do you remember when Laura did the same thing, she climbed a tree and hung upside down on a rope, only the rope snapped and gravity called, it was a cute moment, well now where do you intend to go?" asks the blonde.
"We're going to rest, tomorrow we'll be leaving" said the platinum blonde.
"Oh, you're leaving so fast, you really don't want to let that bastard breathe, well anyway I'll give you more provisions for the journey you intend to make wherever you're going, for all the good things don't talk, these
places may have ears and I try not to risk too much, if an invasion of Appleton happens I try not to know" Said the city administrator.
"So let's get some rest, girls" said Cavendish.
"Stay in the best place here, especially the two of you who are the queens, I'll really make sure I give you the best hospitality, it may not be the best stay, but I'm sure it will be very peaceful" said Eleanora.
With that, the group of girls went to a hotel in the city, where there were plenty of beds. The city manager had already told them that she would pay for the girls' stay there, and they were even preparing a banquet for the illustrious visit of the legitimate queens of that place, which soon had them sitting on the bed much more comfortably, with the warrior from Luna Nova simply having fun walking around the walls, she was even surprised by it all.
"I can walk on walls now, just like Mari can do a bit" said the delighted Akko.
"I can't stand still like that, it's a huge expenditure of magic that's not worth it - you've got boots that don't even use that magic, so it's very useful" said Marianne.
"Ahhh now I can't wait for what's to come, for the next dungeons I'm much more prepared, now I feel I have much more power, not only with these boots, I can simply carry five times as many bombs and three times as many arrows, just imagine the damage I can do, the monsters will be no match for me" said Atsuko.
"Or will they be as challenging as the last ones, you've suffered almost fatal attacks from Vajarois and Mandragora too, who knows what challenges lie ahead" said the blue-eyed girl until her bracelet beeped.
"Hello girls, it took us a while, how are you? How's the sea? Have you reached Hyllia Island?" Meridies said.
"We've arrived, yes, we're already very well received, it seems that there's still a remnant of what was the kingdom of Wedinburgh here, it's good that we can stay here in peace, we'll leave tomorrow for the next island, but we're doing well, it seems that the wishing fountain worked, talk to Croix, you can explain it better, love" said Diana.
"Yes, the wishes have given me lots of arrows and bombs, and I'm talking to you with my feet on the wall, since I have boots that allow me to walk even on this kind of surface and on ceilings, I can simply do the impossible" said Kagari.
"Oh how interesting, well now it will be much more difficult for you to move on, good that now at least we have the guarantee of the warrior getting stronger with each passing place, well I'm relieved about everything, I hope everything works out for you, I'm going, I'm relieved to see you well" Said the lilac-haired woman and even Akko descends back to the normal floor and sits on the bed.
"Croix being Croix as always, well at least she's already said that we have more chances, seeing that you're all happy like this makes me very happyAkko, I get the feeling that this time things might work out, we just have to keep trying" said the one with the platinum blonde hair.
They chat amongst themselves, relax from everything that's happened and enjoy the feast and rest on the island before setting off on the boat again the next day. They end up saying goodbye that morning to the whole of Hyllia Island, which has received them very well and is even moved by their presence.
"I'm very happy and relieved to know that the royal lineage is still safe, you really are going to be the hope of Hyrule, Andrew's days as a tyrant are coming to an end and I'm confident of that, now we'll prepare a plan to find a hiding place because from now on Appleton will have nothing from Hyllia, apart from receiving our heavy force" Eleanora said.
"Thank you for having us, it really was an honour, but we have to go, Hyrule is waiting for us, the salvation of everything" said Diana.
"Take care our queens, with you ruling we are confident that we have a queen, again someone like Laura was, you really got the best of Laura, you too Hellene, you two will be queens as good as Laura and Bernadette, I hope everything can materialise" said the blonde.
The girls soon boarded the smaller boat and made their way to the larger one, which was anchored a little away from the beach. They took with them many bags with resources, such as extra food and water for the long journey, which the boat already had plenty of, but it's always good to have more, as well as fresher food.
"Isle of Eire, here we come" said Akko.
"I can't wait for what's to come on the island of Eire" said Cavendish.
"Did you see that Diana, the whole town loves us, we're queens... I'm queen... I never thought I could get this far... Me being a reason for those people to smile, I was nothing before, it seems that for me things are fine after six years, at least in terms of people liking me, they did before, but now they like me a lot, I'm a legend... I don't know... It's strange, it's strange to think that a girl from Luna Nova, a commoner, can now be Queen of Hyrule" said Kagari.
"Fate has brought you to this point, you've been lucky enough for the right things to happen, your dreams have led you here Akko, I can't wait to rebuild Wedinuburgh with you and us together on the throne, having our family, our little princesses, they'll learn so much from their mums, they'll finally live in peace, to think that this future we can give them" said the platinum blonde haired woman.
"That's what I keep thinking, how? How are we going to make this a possibility, how are we going to be mums, Diana? I know your mums did it, but I've never heard of magic like that in all these years, unless there was a third party involved" said the crimson-eyed one.
"Jeez no, we just have to go to the temple of Terre Sapphique, there we can get the fertility stone, where we can have our family, it's here in the islands, very close to the island of Eire, it can be our next stop, I know this because my mums told me, I didn't need a third person, my mums would be disgusted to get close to any man" said the blue-eyed one.
"Woah, so we've got lots of adventures ahead of us, that's great" said the delighted Akko.
The conversation continued on the long journey, the island of Eire being much further away, and they were also thinking about the future journey to the island of Terre Sapphique, as they were thinking about the future of the royal lineage in some time.
Hyllia Island was fairly quiet, a visit that wasn't expected to receive a warm welcome, as it is one of the last vestiges of Wedinburgh, which finds itself in a situation of forced tributes at the hands of Appleton that could end with the help of the warrior from Luna Nova and her friends who are on this great journey, one of the points that has helped them along this path, given that Akko has managed to improve more of the arsenal and power she has in her hands, already a very good improvement for future dungeons and even to face Lord Hanbridge, who still has no idea how immensely stronger the girl is becoming.
See you, wish witches...
