  𝕿he sound of hooves meeting with bricks echoed the town square of the kingdom of Keithia. The Nine ladies descend from the vehicle, allowing the pagasi to rest and graze on the nearby field.

"Welcome to Keithia Everyone" Avani welcomes with a smile. By this time the town square was full of witches and Wizards busy looking for new herbs to form spells at potion shops.

"The crowned princesses!" Someone exclaims making all eyes land on the royals. Everyone immediately bowing before them. They nod back at them in greeting and walk towards a famous herb store in the area.

Azura's eyes meet with those of the town's people, immediately making them shudder under her gaze. She knew light Witches were afraid of Dark ones, but she didn't know it was this deep. It made her wonder what the reaction of dark witches would be to the light ones if they were to visit Lei Long.

"Ah Princess Avani!" A round faced witch exclaims happily as she steps into the store with her friends. The chiming of a little bell above the door signalling their entry.

"Lady Fauna it's lovely to see you again" she replies in her usual quiet tone.

"Fauna?" Sage whispers to herself. The name igniting a sudden memory in her mind as she quickly lowers her gaze.

Lady Fauna was one of the most skilled witches In her time, one of the best sorceresses of Keithia, but when she retired, she decided to open a potion store to help other young witches come up with newer stronger spells easily without wasting too much time looking for potions.

"The pleasure is all mine. Uh Your highnesses.." she greets the rest of the royals before continuing ".. what might I assist you with today?" She asks, her silver greying locs framing her aging face.

"Well the princesses and I have a few special guests around and we wanted to show them around our favourite places in each of our kingdoms" Avani explained. The witch smiled at her joyfully.

"Why I'm flattered your highness, please, follow me this way" she replies showing them to an isle full of special potions. As she explained the use and origin of each magical mixture the ladies listened carefully. All except Lady sage, who tried her best not to make contact with the woman. Doa notices the action, and wondered if she might be feeling a bit shy.

"Uh lady sage..are you alright?" She asks softly. Sage startled by the sudden question quickly looks back at her, her dark green orbs meeting with that of Fauna's

"Oh my-" fauna exclaims shocked at the face looking back at her. Sage quickly turns her face away from the woman. "G-gaia?" She stutter confused.

"Gaia? Who is-" before a confused azura could ask an anxious stage suddenly began to cough hysterically.

"Uh-um excuse me" she said in-between coughs before hurriedly running out of the small building, leaving everyone stunned.

"Um well I think we need to call it a day here girls, lady Fauna it's been lovely meeting you, good day" Indra says quickly before stepping out of the shop with the rest of the girls leaving a shooken up Fauna behind.

"Sage are you alright?" Amber asks finding her outside. She looks up at her and stays silent for a few moments, Asif they were communicating on some thelepatic level.

"I- yes... I'm fine now" sage says slowly, her eyes drifting from Amber's to Talia and Luna's. They smile unsuspectingly giving her a small nod.

"Alright we better get going to our last stops before sundown" Arpina says heading towards the carriage. "Ah yes to Arcelia next, I'm positive you girls will absolutely love where I've chosen" Doa beams quickly jumping into the carriage along with her friends.
