Darius swung his wand and opened the portal, the portal is like a door with a dark red light. The magic of the portal is very strong. They could see that the portal led to the pixves island from the Pond and Alice's magic mirror, and everyone there looked scared.
"Hurry up, get in there and you'll end up in the pixves's place, and bring the nymlith back." Darius said to Damian and Selena.
Damian and Selena nodded. They went in and the energy portal was so strong it felt like everything was pulling them in. Everything went dark for a few seconds, and then they ended up in the same place, just like they saw in the Pond and in the magic mirror. The people there were very surprised. The first thing Selena noticed was a girl who looked very similar to Alice. Selena met Alice and Matthias's daughter in the future. She was very beautiful, just like Alice, with pink devil horns. She didn't know that her mother's horns were pink, she thought all demon horn colours were black or white.
"Who are you? Said one of the pixves. Why did such a powerful portal suddenly appear? Are you a powerful wizard?" Ask one of the Pixves.
"Hi, i'm Selena. I'm not a witch, but a wizard was sent us here to bring the nymlith back to their island." Selena said.
Four nymliths trapped on Pixves Island walked closer. They look at Damiana and Selena with hope. "Really?" Ask one of them.
"Yes, Lynie told us everything about this and asked for our help." Selena said.
The nymliths were surprised. "Oh, you know Lynie? So you really come from Nymlith Island! Please bring us back, we've been trapped for almost three days." Said one of the nymlith.
Selena nodded. "Come on, hold my hand and Damian's hand."
"Hey, thank you for keeping us safe while we were stuck here. We need to go back." Said one of the Nymlith to Pixves.
"The pixies nodded their heads, apologizing for the carelessness of one of them. We promise to close the portal." Said one of the pixves.
"Thank you." The nymlith look at those princesses.
They're nodded. Selena looked at the princess with pink hair and purple highlights, she's really beautiful just like Alice.
The princess looked back at Selena, she looks confused why Selena keep looking at her.
"I'm sorry, i... i just though you're really pretty." Selena said.
Selena walked to the portal, waiting the nymliths to come and hold her hands. Two of the nymlith held Selena's hands and the other two held Damian's hands. They walked towards the portal and entered it, returning to the Nymlith island.
The nymliths walked closer to the four nymliths who had just returned after being trapped on Pixves Island for days. They hugged each other.
Darius moved his magic wand toward the fish pond with the whirlpool-shaped portal and destroyed the portal created by the pixies. The whirlpool in the fish pond immediately disappeared.
"Thank you for saving our friends. We will give you as many nymlith haircuts as you want," said one of the nymlith, who was the mother of one of the nymlith who was trapped on Pixves Island.
"We don't need many nymlith hair, just a little bit." Selena said.
The nymlith nodded her head, she walked away to get scissors, she picked up the scissors and wanted to cut her hair but Lynie came and stopped her.
"Umm, let me do it. I'll give them my hair." said Lynie.
The nymlith smiled. "Did you do that because you like one of them?" she asked.
Lynie smiled shyly, "Huh, no, it's just that I promised to give them nymlith haircuts if they would help us get the trapped nymliths back."
"Alright." the nymlith handed the scissors in her hand to Lynie. Lynie took the scissors and cut a little of her hair.
She walked toward Alice and gave her hair clippings.
"This is the nymlith hair clippings i've promised. Honestly, it's not worth it compared to your help. You can ask us for anything." Lynie said.
Alice accepted the hair clippings. "Thank you, Lynie. We don't need anything else, we're just here for Nymlith's hair."
Um, what about the other ingredients? Are there any other ingredients you need to make the potion? Maybe we can help you find it." Ask Lynie.
"Yes, actually there are still many ingredients we need," said Alice.
"What are they?" asked Lynie.
Alice looked at Selena. "Did you bring the ingredient list?" asked Alice.
Selena nodded and opened her notebook. "Yes, i did. There are still many ingredients we haven't obtained yet, including a Unicorn horn to be crushed and added to the potion, 20 mermaid fin scales, Rivestar ears, a piece of Demon horn, Zacrathis horns, a piece of Dragon's wing, Driplemist wings, and the crystal on the magical rabbit's forehead."
All the nymliths looked surprised when they heard the ingredients they needed to make the potion.
"What?! That's a lot! And the Zacrathis horn? How do you get those? That's impossible," Lynie said, looking very shocked.
"Yeah, what else can we do? That's one way to destroy Zacrathis's magic." Alice said.
Lynie still looked shocked, but she understood why they chose to take the risk of seeking out hard-to-find ingredients; they wanted to save Orthelis from the Zacrathis attack. That's a great thing. "It seems like I can help you find Riverstar," said Lynie. "My mother is friends with some Riverstars. I might be able to help you meet them, especially since they are very aggressive creatures." Lynie said.
They looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Alright, we'll let you know when we're going to the riverstar's place. We have to go back to Vienstorian no." Alice said.
Damian suddenly pushed Marcus to approach Lynie. "Ask for her phone number!"
Marcus smiled and walked toward Lynie. "Hey... i... umm... do you... uh, have a phone?" Asked Marcus.
Lynie nodded shyly. "Yes, of course."
"Can i have your number? so we can still communicate." Marcus said.
Lynnie nodded and gave her phone number to Marcus. Lynnie's heart was pounding, it seemed like Marcus liked her too. But this is just the beginning, they only met a few hours ago! But Marcus is completely enchanted by the beautiful nymlith's charm!
"Alright, i'll call you later," Marcus said, winking at Lynie.
Lynnie's face turned red, and she covered her face with both hands.
They gave the hair clippings to Darius. They teleported to Darius's house, dropped him off, and wanted to see how the potion he had made was developing. This potion is bright blue and shimmering. Darius throws the nymlith hair into the potion barrel, and suddenly the water becomes brighter.
"This potion is shimmering because of the mystique hair." Darius said.
They nodded in understanding. "The colour is really beautiful." Amalie said, Riley and Eva nodded, agree with her.
"I love the blue colour!" Eva said.
"Well, we have to go now." Matthias said. He held Alice's hand and walked out of Darius's house, with the others following them.
They teleported back near the bridge near the academy. Today was very tiring, it's already 3 pm, time is passing by so quickly.
***
This is the beginning of the month of Narvestin. There are only 2 months left until the year 2236. Time really flies by. It's been two days since the events on Nymlith Island.
She was curious about the progress of Marcus and Lynie's relationship. She rarely saw Marcus, they weren't close. She was only close to Damian, and sometimes Damian would talk about Marcus being on the phone all niight with Lynie. Yes, it seemed like they were falling in love with each other.
Selena opened the book "The Veiled Grimoire," she remembered what Vivi had said a few days ago, "Try to learn magic, you could become a great witch." It had never crossed her mind to learn magic. she wanted to be an ordinary human. But now she was interested in learning it. Suddenly the book glowed, and the pages turned on their own until they reached page 900, "Ways to Learn Magic for Beginners." Yes, that was the soul of Solgathis, she wants to teach Selena how to learn magic through the book.
Selena spent hours reading the book, but something felt missing. A magic wand, yes, she needed a magic wand. Although witches can still perform magic without the help of a magic wand, magic book, or other tools, a magic wand is one of the defining characteristics of witches.
"Where am i supposed to get that magic wand?" Selena murmured. "Should i ask Darius? But i don't know when we'll go to Darius's house."
Selena suddenly saw Alice walking toward her alone, which was unusual, Matthias usually wouldn't let Alice be alone.
"Hey Selena." Alice greeted.
"Hey Alice. It's unusual to see you alone without Matthias." Selena said.
Alice laughed. "Oh, you must be wondering why Matthias isn't with me, he's practicing axetherise right now. Well, i'm here because i have something i want to say."
"What's that?" Selena asked curiously.
"We need mermaid scales, right? I want to ask Narine if she could help us or not." Alice said. "I want you to come with me to tell her about this."
"Ohh, Narine is your mermaid friend right? of course i'll keep you company. When are you going to see Narine?" Selena asked.
"Now." Alice said. She walked away and Selena follow her.
They walked to a pond with a fountain. Narine was there, sitting on the edge of the pond and playing with the water.
"Hey." Alice sat next to Narine. Narine smiled and greeted Alice and Selena.
"Hey." Narine said. "Where's Matthias?" Ask Narine.
"He's practicing axetherise, they're going to the competition in two days, right?" Alice said.
Narine nodded her head, her hands still playing with the water in the pond, and fish approached Narine's hands.
"Um, Narine, you know i already told you about what happened to Selena and her friends, and also about Darius wanting to make a potion to destroy Zacrathis's magic, right?" Alice said.
Narine looked at Alice and nodded. "Yes, of course."
"We need your help," said Alice.
"Of course, i will help you, Alice. What kind of help?" Ask Narine.
"You know, right, that one of the ingredients is mermaid scales? We... would like to ask for your help to find a mermaid." Alice said.
Narine nodded in understanding. "No need to look for another mermaid, i'll give you some of my scales."
Selena and Alice were surprised. "Really? You want to give us your scales? But doesn't it hurt to pull out your scales?" Alice said.
Narine shook her head. "It doesn't hurt, if one scale is suddenly plucked or falls off, a new scale will grow." Narine said. "Well, meet me near the beach tomorrow, i want to swim at the beach and i will give some of my scales. Well i actually want someone to accompany me to teh ebach too." Narine said.
Alice smiled, "Thank you, you always help me with anything without asking for anything in return. Yeah, we will accompany you to the beach tomorrow."
"Of course, Alice, you're my best friend and you too, Selena, you can ask for my help if you want." Narine said.
Selena smiled and nodded her head. "Yes, i will come to you if i need anything."
The Axetherise practice was very tiring today, with only 2 days left before the competition day arrives. They practiced hard for hours, even at night without stopping.
They are resting now. Dieter walked toward the classroom, he didn't want to be in the locker room, especially since Matthias was there.
Dieter accidentally bumped into Selena's shoulder while she was reading the book "The Veiled Grimoire."
"Sorry, i didn't mean to bumped into you" Selena said.
Dieter just remained silent without saying a word back to Selena. He looked at Selena's book and raised one eyebrow, it seemed the girl really wanted to be a witch, especially since she had magic within her body. He though.
"You could easily become a witch." Dieter said suddenly.
"Huh?" Selena looked confused, gripping the book tightly with both hands.
Dieter rolled his eyes. "Yeah, you were born to be a witch." Dieter said and then walked away.
"Hey, what do you mean?" Selena shouted at Dieter, but Dieter just kept walking away to class. Selena went to her class and saw Dieter staring at her sharply. She sat in her chair, still thinking about what Dieter had said. Many people told her to learn magic. Why? Can she really become a great witch.
