Chapter 17

Zelia Pov

Before entering the castle I check again that Lil has the same door as me, she not only points it out, but knowing how anxious I am about the whole thing also shows me exactly how tall and wide the door is… yes, exactly the same, this can't be another trap can it? That would just be rude!

I breathe deep and look pleadingly to Lilia, she smiles and steps in front of us both, my knight in shining uhh bone armor.

She looks back at us one last time, those eyes full of warmth and need to keep us safe "Ready moo?" Keeks and I hold hands, her small furry paws eclipsed by my own, we respond in kind.

"Ready wan!"

"Ready nye!"

We all nod and Lil opens the door to the boss of this hellish dungeon, a creature that has haunted this place for hundreds of years, making a literal hell on earth for these people. Creating puppets out of the villagers to play with. Everyone just… toys to them… like a fucking child… time to spank this monstrosity!

Beyond the door is dark, surely they know we are here, with all the noise we made it's impossible for them not to, and then through the void we hear it, making us all jump with fright.

High pitched and haunting… the cries of a child. "Aaaaaa wwhhyyyy stupid stuuppiiddd nya!" we all look at each other distressed, expecting a big confrontation with a monster and in the distance, on a throne made out of blue crystal sits a being the size of a child. "I just wanted to plaayyy!!! Why you take them away from me nya!"

A girl, about Anna's age.. Looking awfully familiar, that same look on its face that I'd seen before. "Ahh the statue… is this the first saintess wan?" Her ears perk and her eyes dart over to us, seeming to gain some semblance of recognition.

"Haha… the first… and the last… that fucking woman! D-do you know how hard it is to be unable to leave a place… cursed with this fucking body! My own wife leaving me and never coming back because of that fucking barrier, not allowed to leave not allowed to die just keep going and going and ahahaha… nya." she utters the last word with resignation before starting up again, a wide smile coming to her face. "But that's okay… even if they are gone… you can stay as well, we can rebuild the village. And I will never be alone, right nya?" She's talking to herself at this point, mutterings of a mad woman kept in isolation.

"Wait so THIS is the blue fairy nye?" NYA!! We all recoil as the 'blue fairy' screams out and jumps off her throne.

"Yes! Yes yes… no? Yes! I am the blue fairy, the bluest of them all! LOOK HOW FUCKING BLUE I AM NYA!" Pulling her arms wide the room shakes, from her arms sprout wings of shimming translucent blue, her form reaching outwards as the room alights with that same gods damn dull color. Ugh please add some different colors to this village. I feel like I'm wearing tinted glasses at this point.

The room seems to grow in size, the door behind us vanishing. A circular room with something implanted in the walls, wiggling and twitching. A response from Keeks giving me more fears than less. "Ewww there's like… copies of her in the walls, tortured and stuff, no likey nye!" I try and look but I can't seem to pierce the darkness, Lil beats me to the question.

"How can you see what they are moo?!" Keeks shrugs, all of us ignoring the boss at this point to have a conversation, not that we wouldn't have to wait for the boss to set up the arena anyway, basic game rules.

"Pssh please, darksight was one of the first things I learnt, night sex is fucking hot nyehe!" yes yes… of course. We nod, no comment needed.

"How did you eve-" BOOM Oh, I think she's done. In the middle of the room, a partially destroyed throne reveals a dark red crystal, looking more like an orb than anything else. The blue fairy is looming over it, then with multiple cracking noises her mouth stretches, enveloping the crystal, wrapping her mouth around it and somehow… she swallows it whole.

"That's more than twice that bitches size nye!" I nod my head in agreement and look to Lil, her eyes seeming glazed over as she stares blankly at the scene.

"Lil you okay wan?" She looks down at me, unblinking, fear and worry on her face but barely reaching her eyes, like she just swallowed something unpleasant herself.

She responds with an uncomfortable grunt of recognition of our conversation but not the question, then pauses, finally processing it but still with a blank look replies. "Yeah… we just have to kill her and it's all over right… moo?"

The 'blue fairy' is twitching and writhing, causing anxiety as I nod back at Lilia, my beloved, my cursed love. She's going to do something stupid isn't she?

The writhing calms down after a few seconds, the 'blue fairy' gaining back some clarity as she turns to us, smiles. And then the walls move. Creaking of shackles and metal, snapping of ropes and bones. Keeks hesitates and grabs both our hands, giving us one clear instruction.

"Duck Nye!" She pulls us as we all fall into a heap on the floor, things flying past us at breakneck speeds, literally. The creatures that were also the 'blue fairy' speed towards her and collide in a burst of flesh, a crunching of bone as everything seems to snap in her body at once.

11 of these things collide with her, 12 fucking blue fairies!? No thanks! Feeling the perfect timing to do some damage, if it was even possible, hard to tell what's an invulnerability stage in this damn game!

< Scatter > I spread my arms as I feel the whole of my body become a little bit less whole, less corporeal, my entire being created of individual beings of infinitesimal sizes, shimmering and fluttering in sync with my heartbeat that was rapidly charging towards one goal.

Symbol after symbol spreading as my favorite spell, having hit level 10 had been imprinted on my mind, now able to be cast without needing a spell book, just an implement. That being of my own body at this time. Each time a bundle of moths creating the symbol would align correctly they would glow a furious red and then start another.

After what seemed like eternity, my entire focus on casting the most pumped up spell I can while on the floor of a illusory castle, my loves both surrounding me. "Burn at the stake! You horrible blue bitch wan!"

Hearing my words Keeks perks up and joins in, "Yeah fuck you you blue bitch nyehehe!" The spell releases and that familiar woman, the queen of witches rises from the ground translucent, clad in pure white clothing, defiance on her face. Then as she hits the pinnacle on her stake, she screams. Exploding into flames as she perishes for all the other witches, a scream that brought so many witches into the light of Iselgurd, if you would believe the lore.

The 'blue fairy' all this while, her clones, having collided with her, smooshed against each other, pushing inside one another, digging holes where there were none before, connecting… and then a shining red light as they all liquify around the large red crystal now visible inside the main 'blue fairy' from all the gashes and holes made by the rest of herself.

In one fell swoop the liquid rushes inside her, patching up all the wounds on her body, as the flames start, she wraps herself over and cradles herself as if to protect the crystal inside her. The fire seems to caress her, licking at each part of her body, sizzling and burning, turning her black and charcoal as we watch silently.

Just three girls watching a screaming fire, the smell of meat wafting through the air. I hear the sound of Keeks licking her lips and as I turn to her she pauses. "What?! I can't help it… I hungor for foob nye…" I sigh and turn to Lilia, wanting to be a little bit mean to the tiny rascal.

A single blue tear is forming under her eye as she looks on towards the fire, her lips moving slowly as if trying to figure out how to form words. I touch her shoulder and she slowly turns to me. In shock I recoil slightly, catching myself but still horrified at what has happened to my love. A stream of blue is flowing from her other eye, half her face dyed that same color. She seems to finally form the words she has been building up to say.

"T… tag… I'm it… love…" She smiles weakly as her left eye breaks into a flood of blue liquid.
