The Witch and the Fairy (Part 1)

I couldn't believe my eyes as I saw Aria standing before me. It was her, my beloved Aria. The shock and surprise consumed me, and I couldn't help but exclaim, "Aria! It's you, Aria!" My heart soared at the sight of her, unable to contain the overwhelming joy that filled my being.

Aria's voice, so familiar and comforting, replied, "Yes, it's me. It's an honor to see you again, my Darling Master..." The emotions surged within me, and tears welled up in my eyes. It had been so long, and I never thought I would get the chance to see her again.

The entire class erupted into shock and surprise. "Whaaaaaaattttttt!!!!"

"Quiet, everyone quiet down!" yelled Professor Clark.

"Aria, is it? Is it really you? ...sniff...hic...I... thought I wouldn't get to see you again..." I questioned while crying.

"Yes, I promise it's truly me. I'm sorry it took so long for us to meet again. Please, don't cry, my Darling Master. Professor, would you mind if Emily, May, Sasha, and I stepped out? You can continue the class while we are gone?" Aria asked.

"Of course, you four are excused," Professor Clark stated.

After receiving permission, Aria, May, Sasha, and I left the classroom and went to the outside corridors to talk.

"Have you calmed down a little, my Dearest Master?" Aria questioned me.

"Sniff...I have," I stated.

As May hugged me to calm me down, I couldn't help but ask Aria the question that had been on my mind for so long. "Aria, it's a pleasure to see you, but how? It's been a year since we thought we lost you?"

Aria smiled, happy to see her friend again. "Thank you, it's good to see you as well. After my physical body died, the god of magic came up with the idea of creating a new body for me and having me create a new contract with you, Emily. I am a mixture of my former physical body, my astral fairy form, and magic. But I can't stay in this form for long, which is why I ask you, my Dearest Master, to please make the witch queen contract with me. I will remake the Fairy Master and Servant contract with you, and I promise never to be away from you again. I love you."

I hesitated, my past experience with the witch queen contract making me feel uneasy. "Aria, I'm glad you're back, but I can't help but feel hesitant. The last time we tried to make the witch queen contract, it almost destroyed you. I don't want to put you through that again," I said, tears still in my eyes.

Aria took my hands and looked into my eyes. "My Dearest Master, I understand your concern, but this time is different. I have a new body and a new understanding of the magic we share. I promise you; it won't destroy me again. Please, give me the chance to show you," Aria said, her voice soft and sincere.

I took a deep breath, realizing that Aria was right. She did deserve a chance to prove herself. And so, we both took turns biting the fairy's charm and each other's necks. Aria began to chant in a language that none of the others could understand. A soft glow enveloped the two of us, and I felt a surge of magic coursing through my veins.

When the light faded, Aria was still holding my hand, but now there was something new between us. A silver chain hung from my wrist, leading up to a delicate fairy wing-shaped pendant that rested just above my heart.

"I have remade the contract, my Dearest Master," Aria said softly, her eyes shining with joy. "I am yours once again."

I smiled through my tears and pulled Aria into a tight embrace. "I am so glad you're back, Aria. I love you too."

As my two wives welcomed Aria into our small group, the atmosphere was filled with joy and happiness. May's smile was bright as she spoke, "I am glad you two have reunited once again, Dear. Aria, as Emily's first wife, I would like to welcome you to the wives' club."

Aria responded, still holding my hand, "Thank you, May. It is an honor to join such a club."

Sasha, my second wife, introduced herself with excitement, "I'm Sasha Long, but you can just call me Sasha. It's a pleasure to have you here, Aria."

Aria, who had been watching over me for a long time, was familiar with Sasha's role in my life. She expressed her gratitude, "I know who you are, Sasha. Thank you for being there for Emily when she fought the dragon and while she was in a coma. My name is Aria Clark, and it's a pleasure to officially meet you."

May was surprised by Aria's last name and asked, "Clark? Are you taking Emily's last name, Aria?"

Aria explained, "Yes, as Fairys, we don't have first or last names. We go by our attribute or color unless we meet someone we deem worthy as our master. Emily gave me my first name, and since she is my wife, I shall take her last name as well."

May was excited by this and exclaimed, "Then I want to take Emily's last name too. From now on, I shall go by May Clark as well. We can make it official after the wedding."

Sasha echoed the sentiment, "I want to do the same. I will take Emily's last name too and go by Sasha Clark from today onwards."

As the three women expressed their love for me and their willingness to take my name, I felt overwhelmed with emotion. I looked at May, my first love and wife, and smiled. This was a moment of pure joy and love, and I couldn't wait to spend the rest of my life with my wives by my side.

Just then, a bright light began to shine down in front of us. Sasha exclaimed in surprise, wondering what was happening. I panicked and asked Aria if she was hurt in any way.

Aria, still holding me in her embrace, reassured me. "Please calm down, my Dearest Master. This light has nothing to do with me. It is the birth of our daughter into the physical realm. You have made the witch queen contract with me, thus increasing your mana pool and adding my mana as well. Our darling daughter, Windy, will be here soon."
