"What?! Are you insane?! We can't do that! Aira's been banned for a reason, you know!" The Winged king stood up almost immediately, and countered the Witch.
"Shut." She zipped, literally, the mouth of Antario with magic, and in an instant, Antario shut up.
"Zelda, the fate of the mythical could be doomed by this, for all we know. You know Aira, and the many secrets she has. She might trick you into releasing her in our world, causing more chaos in every corner." The great Minotaur, Giganto, said calmly, despite his unappealing appearance and hairy body.
"I know, Giganto, but do they want to die? No. And besides, the two munchkins in the other world don't know their destinies yet. Aira is the first forbidden half-winged, half-mer. The girls are like her too, but only nicer. She did that to herself out of greed, and power she so much craved for. It's the only way." Zelda explained to the minotaur across the table.
She glanced at the clock, and to the two shut-up kings, then faced Giganto.
"I'd better go. Aira's waiting. You two, behave." She said, then released the kings.
She tapped the heel of her bright red shoe three times, then was transported to Aira.
. . .
"What took you so long?" The impatient half-winged/mer grunted.
"Nice to see you, too, Aira. It's been a while." Zelda replied, smiling, ignoring the grunt.
"Yeah, it is. You wanted to talk about something?" Aira asked, propping herself up on the flat surface at the edge of a cliff, at the borders of Mytharis, the land of the mythical.
"Yes. It's about the wars." Zelda replied, imitating her.
"What do I have to do?"
"Help us. Their time has come, and they will shortly begin their transformation. I need you to help them get here, and help us."
"What do I get for this?"
"Hmm, maybe, say, a new life in a new body, but you'll have to choose if you'll be fully winged, or mer, or something other than that."
"I'll have to think about it, but I'll do it."
Aira flapped her beautiful emerald and white wings, the almost transparent surface reflecting the sunlight as she carried herself away to the other side.
Zelda smiled as her plan was working, and was being fool-proof.
