I love how when people witch out they have hallucinations of their despair. Wish more magical girl stories would have that sorta concept with the monsters of the week!

"Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder.

Elves are marvelous. They cause marvels.

Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies.

Elves are glamorous. They project glamour.

Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment.

Elves are terrific. They beget terror.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look behind words that have changed their meaning.

No one ever said elves are nice.

Elves are bad."

— Lords and Ladies

Yep, I have fallen this far, ladies and gents. This is my Legends of Trivia OC, Skyla Faebelle, princess of a fairy kingdom with a...shall I say...glamourous secret.

You see, Faeria, as she's really known, appears to be nice and friendly on the surface, her charm and ingenue able to fool even the most perceptive of adventerers. But if she feels like she is slighted, or if you displease her even in the slightest, she will rain divine hell on you until you crumble into dust, her smile and politeness remaining all the while.

So when she hears that the gang has beaten the legendary Bookwyrm at his own game, proving that they are the smartest in the land, her vanity takes a hit, and she hatches a plan to prove she is actually the smartest.

Posing in her human form (Skyla Faebelle), she spins a tale about how her kingdom is being threatened by the Wyrm again, and that she needs to be escorted into the forest for negotiations. She explains that her power is strongest when she is connected to nature, meaning she can better strike a treaty.

Basically, the adventerers agree to escort her to the Thoughtful Forest, which is near the Guessing Grove...but when she gets there, she sings a sweet tune, touching her feet to the ground- and the forest instantly overgrows, blocking all exits with thick, inpentrable vines as she transforms into her true form as a goddess of nature.

Calling herself Faeria, she explains her motivations, and with a polite smile and warm tone, tells them they are going to pay for invoking her wrath.

Her gimmick in battle is that every so often, she makes certain members of the party (up to half) "go to sleep" with her lullabies, meaning that only half the team can answer questions on their phone that round before the others wake up.

When she's beaten, she's surprised, but polite, and unseals the forest...promising they'll meet again, and reluctantly admits that maybe they are the smarter ones after all.
