White clouds swirled around the stone circle. Miss Felina summoned five flat stones from afar, and the five witches sat down together beside the campfire. The firelight illuminated the silhouettes of the witches, and the five demigod witches in long robes looked at Shade who had closed his eyes.
Miss Feliana hugged him and said softly:
"If you are tired now, go to sleep. I hope we can meet in our dreams."
Hum??~
The nose hummed a gentle tune, and as Shade's consciousness gradually fell into a dream, the witches sang a ballad with their white noses. The resonant tune was so familiar and so unforgettable:
"The princess in the castle will never understand that the freedom to walk in the world is what we pursue."
The five witches sang softly and looked at Shade's profile tenderly.
"If you meet a witch at a road crossing covered with lavender, where will you go to pick a handful of herbs?"
Miss Felina sang solo, and her sweet voice reminded people of the grasslands in early spring.
As the other four witches hummed, she kissed Shad gently, then handed him to Miss Orlanod, stood up, took a step back, and disappeared into a golden light.
"Hold the snow on the top of the mountain and watch the sun in the depths of the desert."
Miss Orlanod's voice was like the wind in the forest, gently blowing through the treetops. She said goodbye in her heart, and amid the humming around her, she gently kissed Shade, then stood up and took a step back, scattering golden light all over the sky.
"If you could meet us, dear girl~~"
Miss Violet took over Shade and sang softly, but she didn't look as overbearing as the Witch Emperor. Her voice was like a beautiful flower in midsummer. Looking at Shade's face, she thought of their past encounter. The witch with a pointed hat hugged him in the firelight and gave him a passionate kiss. Then she stood up, bent down and took a step back, spreading light all over the sky.
“Please call our names softly and ask any questions you have.”
Miss Theresa hugged Shade and sang softly, her voice like the gurgling of a stream in the morning. She pushed her glasses a little shyly, then kissed Shade. Reluctantly, she handed him over to the witch who followed, stood up, lifted her skirt, knelt down, took a step back, and disappeared.
"Where the lilies are in bloom, or, westward where the sunflowers are."
Miss Chloe Yin sang a final solo, and the sound undoubtedly came from the flowing water of the glacier mountains. She looked at Xia De with red eyes, gave him a farewell kiss with the warmth of memory, and then carefully handed Xia De to Yin Luna, and then retreated and disappeared.
"Please wear your beautiful dress and hold the purple thyme."
The voices of the five witches came from the sky, and countless golden spots of light spread from the white clouds to the entire island, like golden torches lit above Stonehenge, and the light spread from Lake Pantanal to the entire swamp.
As the light passed over the earth, the burning wildfire was extinguished by snowflakes, the cracks in the ground closed up in the vibration, the fallen bodies of the strange beasts were swallowed up by the swamp, and the remaining evil forces were swept away.
Although it is still winter and spring has not yet arrived, the earth is rejuvenated. Next spring, the Pantanal Swamp will be full of flowers again.
The people who had worked hard all night in the swamp watched the stray light fly by from their feet, from their heads, and from the starry sky, and felt their pains go away. The dark clouds completely dissipated, and the starlight illuminated the land in the firelight. Time will heal everything, just like the story from the ancient times to the present.
"The people who love you and the people you love are all here, in this palace filled with sunshine."
In the Pantanal Lake illuminated by the fire, a beautiful woman's head stuck out of the water, looking at the lighthouse illuminated by golden light in the distance, and humming the last line of the lyrics softly. At the end of the song, the huge body composed of countless smooth white human arms and legs stretched out of the lake one by one, slapped the water surface, and then re-entered the water, leaving only a huge strange shadow at the bottom of the water.
In the Stonehenge, as the witches left, the white mist continued to rotate. Only Shade and Yin Luna were left by the bonfire in the center of the Stonehenge. Yin Luna pursed her lips and looked at Shade who was sleeping in her arms. She looked at his lips, thought about what the five ladies had just done, bit her lips lightly, looked around uneasily, and after confirming that it was only her and Shade here, she blushed and lowered her head:
"Thank you, Shade, for everything."
As their warm lips were about to touch, Yin Luna, who felt her face was about to explode, closed her eyes. But at this moment, a clear bird song was heard. She looked up with a dull expression, and then saw Sister Defulin actually walking out of the bonfire in the center of the stone circle:
"The church must not see Shad's face. He said there is space under the lighthouse..."
The nun put her hands together and let them hang naturally above her belly. She had her back to the bonfire, but the silver blindfold was still slightly illuminated by the firelight. The sentence she spoke in a calm tone suddenly stopped.
Yin Luna looked at Sister Defulin stiffly, wishing she had died in the battle:
"I... ... "
"I am blind."
The nun admitted her physical defect, but this made Yin Luna's face even redder. She stammered and tried to explain, but couldn't come up with a suitable explanation.
Fortunately, Sister Defulin was very understanding:
"I need to take Shade away immediately, otherwise the church will really know who the God Summoner is."
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Yin Luna quickly handed Shade to the nun, and then stuffed the relics and weapons returned by the witches into Shade's pocket, and the night watchman let the nun take it. After thinking for a while, he took off the plague doctor ring that Shade had lent him:
"Sister, please send Shade back. Leave the rest of the things here to me."
The seventeen-year-old girl looked down at Xia De, and the surrounding clouds became thinner and thinner, revealing the shadow of the starry sky. But this long night has not yet ended:
"Sister, do you think being the Chosen One really has any meaning? Even without us, Shade can accomplish anything."
This is a worry that only belongs to young girls. Under the nun's silver mask, she showed a rare gentle smile:
"Shade's road would be too lonely without you accompanying me."
Yin Luna nodded immediately. The embarrassment just now disappeared temporarily, and her tone became much lighter:
"Now is not the time to say such things. I am so stupid. Sister, please send Shad home..."
Thinking that she had been seen, she boldly kissed Xia De on the lips. Yin Luna Emilia Bei Yasi blushed and covered her mouth, unable to believe that she had really done this:
"Shad, have a sweet dream!"
"His 'other self' should still retain sentience."
Sister Defulin gave a reminder, and Yin Luna covered her face and turned to walk out:
"You guys should leave quickly. This is a really big deal. Five witches from the Fifth Epoch showed up at the same time. This is really big news. I know how to tell the church about what I just saw and heard here."
She rushed out of the white fog, even forgetting to lead her skeleton horse, which had also worked hard all night.
The nun "watched" her leave Stonehenge, and then looked at the sleeping Shade's profile:
"Sweet dreams."
She led Shade to the lighthouse on the top, and when the stone circle surrounded by clouds became clear again, the fire was still there. However, the thirteen stone pillars had turned into thick wooden trunks. Although there were only dead branches, they were full of vitality.
The tree rings record ancient legends, and the tree veins are engraved with runes from the past. Many, many years later, perhaps this place will become a new forest. And the story that happened here tonight should have become a myth passed down from generation to generation by then.
(Little Mia is running...)
It was early Thursday morning and it should have been time to go to bed, but the lights were still on on the second floor of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square in Tobesk.
The decisive battle of Pantanal Lake will be tonight. Luvia and Tifa, who did not leave, are not going to rest, but waiting for news. The two girls sat on the sofa, chatting about what happened since Margaret Anjou visited the city, and guessing what will happen in the middle of the swamp thousands of miles away.
Of course they all heard the bells just now, and Luvia even concluded that it must be related to what happened in the swamp. Although she didn't say it, Tifa could see how worried she was.
The other two maids Tifa brought were boiling water in the kitchen, preparing new tea and breakfast for a few hours later. They were Miss Carina's personal maids, that is, core followers. As ring magicians, it was not a problem for them to sleep less for a few hours.
Little Mia was lying in front of the blazing fireplace, curled up in a ball. The jumping firelight illuminated the sleeping cat's fur, and the bright yellow stripes seemed to be shining with golden light. Two small paws supported the little head, the whiskers and ears were drooping a little, and the tail was hugged in the arms of the snow-white fur.
The breathing was very slow, but because Shade was not there, it did not fall into the deepest and most relaxing sleep. Suddenly, the cat's ears trembled, and Mia opened her amber eyes and looked towards the fire:
"Meow?"
The cat quickly stood up and looked towards the door to the second floor, then quickly ran towards the stairs.
Luvia and Tifa naturally saw the cat's movements, and they followed it. When they reached the corner of the first floor, they heard the sound from the basement. When they arrived at the lobby on the first floor, they saw Sister Devilin supporting Shad and walking up from the basement entrance behind the stairs. Little Mia followed happily, happy that Shad did not "stay out all night" tonight.
"Oh, Shad! My God, what is happening?"
Luvia immediately took Shade in panic, and Sister Defulin explained softly:
"He used the Word of Ascension forcefully, but his physical fitness was extremely strong and his soul strength was also very high, so he just fainted from overexertion. I'm not sure if he had any other injuries. Before I came back, I baptized him with fire, at least to make sure there was no curse."
Luvia let Shad's right hand cross her shoulders and neck, and Tifa carefully supported his left arm. The two girls helped Shad upstairs, Mia jumped up the stairs behind them with some worry, and Sister Defulin walked quietly at the end.
The light at the staircase illuminated the backs of the three people and the cat going upstairs. Although what happened that night would surely cause greater waves in the already noisy material world and would surely make the poems of the chosen ones more magnificent, at least for Shade—
The long night finally came to an end.
