25 Kingdom of Dawn

In an hidden crypt, Hermes.

In the city of the church, Hermes, there were many crypts. In one of them, the Pope O'Brien was listening to the 3 archbishops reports.

"... The Kingdom of Everwinter and the Kingdom of Wolfheart are almost under our power, Your Excellency. The Kingdom of Everwinter and the Kingdom of Wolfheart have only their King's City remaining to be conquered." Tayfun, an old bearded man wearing a golden robe said to the Pope while bowing.

"Excellent, Archbishop Tayfun." The Pope said calmly.

"The Kingdom of Dawn is currently in the middle of our plan. The next year, the Kingdom will be ours, Your Excellency." Heather, one of the archbishops said to the Pope.

"... Good, i'm expecting a good report next year, Archbishop Heather." The Pope said calmly.

"... Your Excellency, the Kingdom of Greycastle has been in a strange situation recently. Ever since the start of the 'Challenge of Succession', the one that should be dead is still alive and the one that we thought would be the King died mysteriously. The only ones still alive are Roland Wimbledon, Garcia Wimbledon and Tilly Wimbledon." Mayne, one of the archbishops said to the Pope.

"It's indeed a strange situation... Isn't Aphra still there? Send a order for her to assassinate Roland Wimbledon and investigate what happened." The Pope said to Mayne.

"Yes, Your Excellency." The 3 archbishops said bowing at the same time.

...

1 Month after Timothy's Death, Clearwater Port.

Garcia Wimbledon was reading a report that her adjutant, Ryan Koban, gave to her.

'... So Timothy and Gerald are dead huh... Who killed them?... Roland? No, he is too immature... Tilly? Maybe, but unlikely... So it's probably a third party... The Church?...' Garcia pondered while burning the report.

"Who do you think killed Timothy? Ryan." Garcia asked Ryan's opinion.

"... I think it's probably a third party. The Church is a suspicious. Or maybe a witch?" Ryan said after thinking.

"Indeed, the limits of the powers of the witches was never explained. So it's possible that a witch could assassinate him." Garcia nodded to Ryan.

"But it's very unlikely. After all, if a witch with so much power existed, there would be many people mysteriously dead. I suspect that the church killed him." Garcia said after thinking.

'... Well, it's good news anyway. Since Timothy and Gerald are dead, it means that i only need to kill Roland and Tilly to take the throne.' Garcia thought while smiling.

"Ryan, prepare the Blacksail Fleet. We will sail to Border Town and say hello to my brother." Garcia said smiling to Ryan.

...

City of Glow, Kingdom of Dawn's Capital.

'... I will let Garcia to Roland. He needs experience on wars after all...' Calista thought while entering the city.

'... Let's meet some old witches.' Calista thought while walking to the Black Money auction.

Along the way, Calista saw an orphanage. It was very old, as if it would collapse the moment you take your eyes off. Seeing some shadows inside, she thought, '... There were some witches that escaped this kingdom to go to Greycastle in the canon... If i remember right, their name were Amy, Annie, Hero and Broken Sword...'

Changing directions, Calista walked towards the orphanage.

The moment Calista stepped on the orphanage, she saw a fist coming in her direction.

Easily evading, Calista said to the person that punched, "No need to violence. I'm here to talk."

Seeing a woman with a bodybuilder body, Calista immediately knew who she was.

"Annie, right?" Calista said while sitting on a old chair.

"... Who are you and how do you know my name?" Annie asked glaring at Calista.

"... My name is Calista. And how do i know you? It doesn't matter. What matter is that i'm a witch just like you, so calm down." Calista said smiling.

"... Prove it" Annie said still glaring Calista.

Creating a Annie statue in Muay Thai stance with Ice Generation, Calista said while trowing it to Annie, "Here, It's a present."

Seeing the cool statue, Annie immediately liked it.

"It can't unfreeze. So it can only be broken." Calista explained pointing towards the statue.

"... Can i have one too?" a gentle voice sounded behind Calista.

Turning around, Calista saw a girl with brown hair, a girl without legs in a wheelchair and another one with shoulder length silver hair.

"Hi, I'm Calista. Of course you can. I will give to everyone one." Calista responded gently.

"My name is Amy." Amy, the girl with brown hair, said gently.

"My name is Hero." Hero, the girl in the wheelchair, said calmly.

"... My name is Broken Sword." Broken Sword, the girl with shoulder length silver hair, said.

Creating a statue of Amy with her hands behind her back with closed eyes, as if she was thinking something, Calista said to her while handing it over, "Here."

Creating a statue of Hero standing smiling with a extended arm, as if she wanted to help someone, Calista said to her while handing it over, "... I will cure your legs later, my friend."

Creating a statue of Broken Sword with her arms closed in her chest, as if she was observing everything, Calista said to her while handing it over, "Here. Have some more confidence in yourself, my friend."

Walking over to Hero, Calista said to her, "It won't hurt, so don't worry."

Using Nana to the max potential, Calista started to regrow Hero's legs.

Seeing the scene, the other 3 were surprised and filled with joy.

After some time, Calista finished the treatment and said, "You will need some time to walk properly."

"Thank you very much." Everyone said while bowing.

"... it's okay. Now let's talk." Calista said to everyone while sitting again on the old chair.

Seeing everyone attention on her, Calista started to talk, "I'm here to take every witch that i encounter to Border Town in the Kingdom of Greycastle."

"... is it safe?" Annie asked while frowning.

"It's the place most safe in the world right now for you. You just need to go there." Calista said to everyone while using Cecily's ability, Cloning, to create 2 Calista.

"Those 2 will protect you until you arrive there. While they have only half of my strength and will survive only for one month, they will protect you." Calista said.

"... Go now. The earlier, the better." She continued while leaving them behind with the clones.

"... The Original is pissing me off, can't i kill her?" Clone 1 commented to Clone 2.

"You Idiot! We are clones!" Clone 2 said while slapping Clone 1 back head.

"Tch..."

...

'... Why do i feel irritated?' Calista thought while walking towards the Black Money auction.
