NOW ONTO THE NEXT CHAPTER
Chapter 3: Sunken Blue, Depths of Hate
As the pair took some steps back, the creature roared as it rubbed towards them. Tari panicked and flew away, shouting for help while poor Meggy was running for her life.
With the small dwarf already struggling to not get caught by the giant creature, considering their size and stubby legs, she was getting tired by each second.
Whilst she was screaming and running, The panicking princess called for help.
"Help! Help! Someone please!"
The humongous Axolotl gets closer to eating Meggy, and a bunch of acorns are thrown at the monster, which distracts them for a bit so the little dwarf can get away.
Both the creature and Tari looked at where the acorns came from and saw a bold figure, basking in the sunlight as they held another acorn, prepared to fight.
"I'm right here, come and get me!" Smg4 then threw the acorn at the creature, making it even more angry yet it still decided to continue pursuing the tiny dwarf.
As Meggy runs for her life, the creature and the two fairies follow.
Smg4 thought of a great plan as he saw a nearby lake by the side of their current path.
"Meggy, head right!"
The young prince instructed her and she followed his directions, she was getting tired and would do anything to get that giant thing off her trail.
The blue fairies got ahead of the creature to the side of the lake. Smg4 dives into the lake, making Tari scream out.
“AH 4! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!”
Tari wanted to help but she didn’t want to get wet. She kept looking back and forth at Meggy and the water, waiting for her brother to come out safely.
She then sees bubbles form as a blue figure slowly starts to rise from beneath.
Smg4 spreads his wings as rises from the water, like a falcon rising from below. He tried to fly but alas, the water had soaked his wings which prevented him from flying. He scoffed, slowly getting out of the water while dragging a long piece of seaweed with him. He calls out to his sister for help, as he shakes both of his wings.
“Tari! We need you!” Yelled by her older brother, trying to pull out the seaweed from his grasp. With the water splashing from the lake, SMG4 took a few breaths until he was right back on.
It took a few seconds for her to reach out with hesitation. But she managed to grab on and help him, and they both pulled the seaweed out of the water. Smg4 stretched his wings and tried to fly once again, this time he succeeded. Rising to the sky, Smg4 held on to one of the ends of the seaweed while Tari had the other end.
Meggy, who was about to give up, opened her eyes wide to see two tall figures ahead of her, seeming to be holding onto something.
“GRAB ON!” SMG4 screamed as the two royal fairies reached down to extend the length of the marine plant.
Meggy quickly sped up towards them and jumped to get a hold of the slippery seaweed, the humongous axolotl roared in discomfort with its sharp teeth exposed. “WO-AHH!!!” The orange-haired dwarf held the seaweed tightly and kicked their feet in the air.
The large creature leapt as they tried to swallow the little dwarf, but failed as the pair of fairies carried her out with the seaweed. The Axolotl then fell back into the water, their natural habitat.
As the fairies slowly descend upon the ground, Meggy lets go of the leaf and jumps down.
The small orange-haired dwarf had an eerie feeling when she felt the creature staring back at them from the water, menacingly. The pinkish creature growls as they begin to rise from the water, prepared to attack. The blue princess got terrified and hid behind Meggy who was also scared but prepared to fight. Suddenly Smg4 boldly flies between the creature and the pair and roars in anger, making himself seem bigger and threatening by spreading his wings and pointing his sword at the creature.
The humongous creature whimpers and quivers in fear as it slowly sinks back into the depths of the blue lake. The blue prince sighs and then turns around to see his sister celebrating.
For some reason he got angry, he stomped his way over to her and angrily spoke.
“What were you thinking? You could’ve gotten hurt!” He placed his hand on her shoulder while giving her a concerned look. “I know-” Tari tried to speak but her brother continued.
“You need to be more aware of what's happening right now, instead of worrying about the things that will come later.” She took a deep breath and apologized, making Smg4 feel at ease once again knowing his sister was safe.
“Um, excuse me.” The two heard a soft voice behind them, they looked back to see the little dwarf, who was trying to say something.
“Sorry to interrupt but- isn’t there a certain ball you two should be preparing for?
“Huh? Oh RIGHT!” Tari immediately spread her wings and took off to the sky and dragged her brother along, not before waving goodbye to her friend as the two royals flew away.
The young princess was getting frustrated because of her brother, who was far behind her on the way back to the palace. She groans in frustration and turns back to confront him about his bad attitude.
“Why are you so slow? We have to get ready!”
“No YOU have to get ready, I’m not going.” Smg4 flies past her, ignoring everything else. Now Tari was the one following from behind.
“Ugh, 4… Dad will be disappointed if you don’t go and you go every other year! What’s so different about this year?” She flew closer to get a better look at him but it seemed like he wasn’t in the mood this time. So the two soared the skies in silence, returning to their humble abode as they will have to be prepared for what happens next.
A couple of hours passed by and all of the fairies in the kingdom had gathered inside the palace to celebrate the spring. Tari wanders around with Meggy before an entire crowd of men surround her, offering gifts and a chance to dance, leaving Tari to deal with them as her dwarf friend gets pushed aside because of the crowd, considering her small size, she sadly walks away.
Smg4 enters the room with his father, Fairy King Smg1 by his side. Everyone was watching from the side as the two walked their way through to the main ballroom. The young prince was frustrated because he was forced to join. His father told him to smile, wave, and try to enjoy.
“Please smile, my boy.”
Smg4 forced a smile on his face, which didn’t fit his personality.
“Please 4, you used to love the spring ball.”
“But that was back then, I’m just not in the mood for this right now.”
The King sighs, looking back at his son.
“I just want to see my happy boy again, before the uh- Tag6 misunderstanding…”
“Don’t worry, I’m happy! I’m…happy…” Smg4 looked away from his father, staring at the distance ahead of him as they both made their way through, sadly thinking about recent events.
“Well I hope you feel better once you find a dance partner”
“Or-” A familiar voice was heard across the room.
The young prince was hoping that voice did not belong to a certain person that he wished never to see.
But to his surprise, It was. As he stared at HER, he was filled with shock and rage.
“Maybe somebody even better,” Tag6 smirked. Surrounded by a group that will help her get back what she wants.
