#eferibus

                One hundred years ago, west of the Mushroom Kingdom, rested the magnificent and beautiful Ripple Forest. Home to many plants and different kinds of insects, Ripple Forest was ruled by the fair and just Queen Eferibus. A moth that had grand power and admiration from her subjects, Eferibus was perhaps one of the kindest rulers to be found during that time. However, nothing good lasts forever, as a mistake was made by the neighboring Mushroom Kingdom.

                Toad workers and constructionists had no idea that this forest had even been occupied, and as such, saw it as land that could be used to stretch their own territory by a bit. Now as everyone knows, Toads are not known for their hostile nature, and as such, did not mean any harm by taking this action. However, this was perhaps the worst mistake that the race had ever made. As the Toads began to tear down the forest, Eferibus heard of the take down of the forest and went herself, accompanied by some of her loyal moth guards to send them away.

                As Eferibus and her guards started to drive the Toads away, some of the Toad workers, out of fear, had accidentally started a fire by a knock down of chemicals. It was a dreadful mistake, as the forest had caught the terrible choke of the flames. Queen Eferibus escaped to the top of a hill just out of reach of the forest, and she watched as her kingdom crackled and burned, not being capable of doing anything to stop this intense heat.

                There was nothing left in the forest. No guard or servant, no bug nor plant to be seen. Only the darkness of ash that now covered the once life filled area, along with the dried thorny brambles that now littered the land. Eferibus watched over the horizon, the Toads now gone and everything quiet. Filled with rage, Eferibus had now sought retribution on the people who so wronged her, no longer the same kind Queen that she had always been.
