When the students arrived in the classroom, not only was their next portal already there and waiting for them, but there was a collection of various different rainboots in all sizes and styles sitting on the front desk, too.

"Sorry about last week, guys," Summer started with a faint, apologetic smile, "but I'm sure Ignis and Prompto did a good job and it sounds like you guys had a good trip to Insomnia and everyone survived, so yay! One of the greatest things about Fandom is that everyone comes from so many different places that you really don't have to dig too deep to find someplace really interesting just through association, which is why this week, we'll be visiting another homeworld of a former Fandom student that maybe some of you had the chance to meet, but don't worry. He is literally the most friendly and enthusiastic person I have ever met. And he's also literally unlike anyone I've ever met, and that's saying a lot.

"His name is Sidon, and he's the prince of the Zora people in a land called Hyrule. Today, we'll be visiting him where he lives, in Zora's Domain. You're free to sort of look around, explore a bit, talk to the various people who live there, and he also has a task for anyone who feels they may be up for it. Since they're an amphibious people, Zora's Domain is very...well...wet, so I do have gollashes for anyone who may not want to get their current shoes wet or go around barefoot.

"So boot up if you'd like, and let's go see a giant shark prince!"

That was all the warning you were going to get about Sidon, yes.

At least if Summer's being relatively vague, that means the place is probably pretty safe, right? Either way, ask questions if you've got 'em before you head on over to a different world and find yourself some cute rainboots, too, while you're at it!

Yeah, Illyana was not going to wear a fashion-challeneged raincoat and boots, thanks. Ew.

"A mari usque ad mare, abyssus abyssum invocat," she muttered under her breath, gesturing with her hands, "--Shield of the Seraphim, de profundis!"

A golden energy field swirled around Illyana for a second, before shrinking down to conform to her body shape and lay just above her clothing. Any water would just slide away from her now, keeping her perfectly dry.

Look, what good was being a sorcerer's apprentice, if you didn't put your lessons to use once in awhile?

Was Ulysses giving her an envious look right now?

Yeah. Yeah, he kind of was.

Yana rolled her eyes. "Gimme your hand, Uly," she said, making 'gimme' hands. "As adorably retro as you'd look in rainboots, I'm willing to share."

Ulysses made an affronted face. "Hey, I look adorable in anything."

That was A) not true and also B) not something he actually aspired to. Also, he was now holding out his hand, yes.

"Suuuuuuuuuuure you do," Yana drawled, reaching out to grasp his hand.

"De profundis," she repeated, her eyes glowing for a moment. The energy flowing over her began to move down over their joined hands, then up his arm and over the rest of his body. Yana waited until it covered him completely before releasing his hand, leaving them both with the faint shimmer of energy protecting them. "Look, now you match your sparkling personality!"

Ulysses wanted to snark back, but he was a little preoccupied with the need to just stare at his arm for a moment, here.

"Okay that is fucking trippy."

"I mean, it is magic," she pointed out. "'Trippy' sometimes comes with the territory."

"One time I ended up in a dimension where all the leftover psychic energy of its rebirth manifested in gigantic psychedelic animals that looked like cartoons. I really had the munchies after that one."

Belle was, admittedly, a bit thrown by the idea of amphibious people. But this would probably be fine. The people that were dogs had been fine, after all. That was what she told herself as she found a pair of cheerfully yellow boots to wear, anyway.
