Whispering Verse

White clouds swirled around Stonehenge. Miss Feliana summoned five flat stones from a distance, and the five witches sat down on one side of the bonfire. The firelight illuminated the silhouettes of the witches, and the five demigod witches in robes looked at Shade, who closed his eyes.

Miss Feliana hugged him and said softly:

"If you are tired now, then go to sleep. I hope we can meet in dreams."

Hum~

The nose hummed a gentle melody. As Shade's consciousness gradually fell into a dream, the witches hummed a song together with their white noses. The resonant tune is so familiar and unforgettable:

"The princess in the castle will not understand that freedom to walk in the world is what we pursue."

The five witches sang softly while looking at Shade's side face tenderly.

"When you meet a witch at a intersection full of lavender, where are you going to pick that handful of herbs?"

Miss Feliana sang solo, and her sweet singing reminded people of the grassland in early spring.

Amidst the humming of the other four witches, she kissed Shade gently, then handed him over to Miss Olanode, stood up and took a step back, turning into a golden light and disappearing.

"Hold the snow on the top of the snow mountain and watch the sun in the depths of the desert."

Miss Olanode's voice was like the wind in the forest, blowing gently on the treetops. Saying goodbye in her heart, she kissed Shade gently amidst the humming around her, then stood up and took a step back, scattering golden light all over the sky.

"If you can meet us, dear girl~~"

Miss Violet took Shade and when she sang softly, she didn't have the overbearing look of the Witch Emperor. Her singing voice was like a delicate flower in midsummer. Looking at Shade's face, I thought of the past encounter. The witch wearing a big pointed hat hugged him in the firelight and gave him a passionate kiss. Then he also stood up, bent down and took a step back, scattering light that filled the sky.

"Please call our names softly and ask your doubts."

Miss Theresa hugged Shade and sang softly, her singing sound like the gurgling stream flowing through the mountain stream in the morning. She pushed up her glasses a little embarrassedly, and then kissed Shade. Somewhat reluctantly, he handed him over to the witch who followed, stood up, raised her skirt, curtsied, took a step back and disappeared.

"Where the lilies bloom, or, to the west, where the sunflowers bloom."

Miss Chloe sang her final solo, the sound undoubtedly coming from the water flowing in the glacial mountains. She looked at Shade with red eyes, gave him a goodbye kiss with the warmth in her memory, then carefully handed Shade to Iluna, and then retreated and disappeared.

"Please put on your pretty dress and hold up your purple thyme."

The voices of the five witches came together from high in the sky, and the countless golden light spots escaped from the cover of white clouds and spread to the entire island, like golden torches lighting up the top of Stonehenge, and the light spots came from The Pantanal spreads across the swamp.

The light point passed through the earth, the burning wildfire was extinguished by snowflakes, the cracks in the ground closed in the vibration, the corpse of the strange beast that fell to the ground was swallowed up by the swamp, and the remaining evil power was swept away.

Although it is still winter, although spring has not yet arrived, the earth is full of life again. Next spring, the Pantanal will be in bloom again.

People who had worked hard all night in the swamp watched the stray light flying under their feet, above their heads, and under the stars, and felt that their pain was far away. The black clouds have completely dissipated, and the stars shine on the earth in the fire. Time will heal everything, just like the story from ancient times to the present.

"The people you love and the ones you love are all here, this palace filled with sunshine."

In the Pantanal Lake illuminated by fire, a beautiful woman's head sticks out of the water, looking at the lighthouse illuminated by golden light spots in the distance, humming the last lyrics softly. At the end of the song, the huge body composed of countless smooth and white human arms and legs stretched out of the lake one after another. After slapping the water, it re-entered the water, leaving only a huge and strange shadow at the bottom.

In Stonehenge, as the witches left, the white clouds continued to rotate. Only Shade and Iluna were left by the bonfire in the center of Stonehenge. Iluna pursed her lips and looked at Shade who was sleeping in her arms. She looked at his lips and thought about what the five ladies had done just now. She bit her lip lightly and looked to the left and right uneasily. After confirming again that only she and Shade were here, she lowered her head with a red face:

"Shadow, thank you for everything."

The warm lips were about to come together, and Iluna closed her eyes, feeling that her face was going to explode. But at this moment, a clear bird song came. She raised her head with a dull expression, and then saw Sister Devlin walking out of the bonfire in the center of Stonehenge:

"The church cannot be allowed to see Shade's face. He said there is space under the lighthouse."

The nun put her hands together, hanging naturally above her lower abdomen. Her back was to the bonfire, but her silver eyepatch was still partially illuminated by the firelight. The sentence spoken in a calm tone was interrupted suddenly.

Iluna looked at Sister Devlin stiffly, wishing that she had been sacrificed in the battle just now:

"I"

"I'm blind."

The nun admitted her physical shortcomings, but this only made Iluna's face turn redder. She stammered and wanted to explain, but couldn't come up with a suitable explanation.

Fortunately, Sister Devlin is very considerate:

"I need to take Shade and leave immediately, otherwise the church will really know who the God Summoner is."

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Iluna hurriedly handed Shade over to the nun, and then stuffed the relics and weapons returned by the witches into Shade's pocket, while the [Night Watcher] let the nun hold them. After thinking for a while, he took off the [Epidemic Doctor Ring] lent by Xia De:

"Sister, please send Shade back, and leave the rest to me."

The seventeen-year-old girl looked down at Shade, while the surrounding clouds and fog became lighter and lighter, revealing the blurry shadows of the stars. But this long night is not over yet:

"Sister, do you think the chosen ones really mean something? Even without us, Shade can accomplish anything."

This is a trouble that only belongs to girls. Under the nun's silver mask, she rarely showed a gentle smile:

"Shad's journey would be too lonely without your company."

Iluna nodded immediately, the embarrassment just now disappeared temporarily, and her tone became much lighter:

"Now is not the time to say such a thing, I am really stupid. Sister, please send Shade home."

Thinking that she had been seen just now, she boldly kissed Shade on the lips. Iluna Emilia Bayas blushed and covered her mouth. She couldn't believe that she really did it. this matter:

"Shadow, have a sweet dream!"

"His 'other self' should still maintain his ability to sense."

Sister Devlin reminded me, and Iluna covered her face and turned around to walk out:

"You guys should go quickly. What happened this time is really big. Five witches from the Fifth Age appeared at the same time. It's really big news. Regarding what I just saw here, I know how to tell the church."

She rushed out of the white mist, even forgetting to lead her skeleton horse that had also worked hard all night.

The nun "watched" her leave Stonehenge, and then looked at the side face of the sleeping Shade:

"Sweet dreams."

She turned around with Shade and walked towards the high lighthouse. When the Stonehenge surrounded by clouds and mist became clear again, the fire here was still there. However, the thirteen huge stone pillars turned into thick wooden trunks at some point. Although there are only dead branches, the vitality is extremely strong.

The annual rings record ancient legends, and the tree patterns are engraved with runes of the past. Many, many years later, perhaps this place will become a new forest. And the story that happened here tonight should have turned into a myth passed down from generation to generation by then.

(Little Mia is running.)

In the early hours of Thursday morning, it was supposed to be time to go to bed, but the lights were still on on the second floor of No. 6 Saint Teresa Square in Tobesk City.

The decisive battle in the Pantanal Lake is tonight. Luvia and Tifa, who has not left, are not going to rest, but are waiting for news here. The two girls were sitting on the sofa, chatting about what had happened since Margaret Anjou visited the city, and guessing what would happen now in the middle of the great swamp thousands of miles away.

Of course they could hear the bell just now, and Luvia even concluded that it must be related to what happened in the swamp. Although she didn't say it out loud, Tifa could see how worried she was.

The other two maids brought by Tifa were boiling water in the kitchen, preparing new tea and breakfast in a few hours. They are all Miss Carina's personal maids, that is, core followers. As ring magicians, it doesn't matter if they lose a few hours of sleep.

And little Mia was lying in front of the blazing fireplace, the whole cat curled up into a cat ball. The jumping firelight illuminated the sleeping cat's fur, and the bright yellow markings seemed to sparkle with golden light. Two small paws rested on the small head, the beard and ears drooped downward, and the tail was held in an embrace of snow-white hair.

The breathing was gentle, but because Shade was not there, it did not fall into the deepest and most relaxing sleep. Suddenly the cat's ears twitched, and little Mia opened her amber eyes and looked into the fire:

"Meow?"

The cat quickly stood up and looked at the doorway on the second floor, then quickly ran towards the stairs.

Luvia and Tifa naturally saw the cat's movements, and they chased after it. When they came to the corner of the first floor, they heard the sound in the basement. When I arrived at the foyer on the first floor, I happened to see Sister Devlin supporting Shade as she walked up from the basement entrance behind the stairs. Little Mia followed happily. She was very happy that Shade did not "stay up all night" tonight.

"Oh, Shade! My God, what's going on?"

Luvia immediately took Shade over in panic, and Sister Devlin explained softly:

"He forcibly used the word of sublimation, but his physical fitness was extremely strong and his soul strength was also very high, so he just passed out from overexertion. I am not sure if there are other injuries. Before returning, I used flames to treat him Baptism, at least makes sure there is no curse.”

Luvia let Shade's right hand go across her shoulder and neck, while Tifa carefully supported his left arm. The two girls supported Shade and walked upstairs. Mia jumped up the stairs behind them with some worry, while Sister Devlin walked quietly at the end.

The light at the top of the stairs illuminated the backs of three people and a cat walking upstairs. Although what happened this night will definitely cause greater waves in the already noisy material world, and will definitely make the poems of the chosen ones more magnificent, at least for Shade——

The long night finally came to an end.
