Fairytale Defenders: Book One

The Defenders Test Part 2

   In a throne room made out of twigs, leaves, and daises, Drossmeyler growled. He paced back and forth while Chanson healed a flower. "Do you mind going somewhere else? Maho will get mad if your anger keeps ruining his daises." His pink eyes shine with anger as Drossmeyler glares at him.

   "I don't give a damn about the daises! I need to find a way to stop my granddaughter! She isn't going to stop until this curse is broken." Drossmeyler growled. He rubs his temples before sighing. "Why did she have to be headstrong like her mother?"

   "Because your family is well known for being stubborn." A silky voice stated. Chanson looks up as his face softens. A tall man around his age quietly walked in. He had long red hair with white tips, sea-green eyes shone with happiness, and was wearing a flowing robe covered with thousands of wildflowers. "Then again, Rose is fighting for her dream. She does want her family to come together again even if we have problems." The man chuckles before pecking Chanson on the lips.

   Drossmeyler rolls his eyes at the lovers. His eyes wandered to lavender that was starting to bloom. Anger bubbled inside of him when stomping on them. "Maho, do you have any ideas on stopping my granddaughter? I need to stop her." His eyes widen when noticing the angry look on Maho's face. Without saying a single word, Maho starts drawing something on the ground. The sense of powerful magic built in the air. Chanson takes a step back when five orbs float around Maho.

   "I have a way to slow her down. All of us know that there is no way of stopping her. However, we can change her focus for a bit." Maho replied. His hands grazed each orb while whispering something in an ancient language. "Rose has always been protective of her family and friends. Why not attack them? You can do a lot of things to them especially cursing them." Drossmeyler stared at him with cat-like pupils. A massive grin forms when Chanson gasps. "What kind of curse are we talking about?"

   Meanwhile, Rose was staring up at the night sky on a building top. Her eyes shine with joy while feeling the wind blowing her hair back. 'Another night for flying... Father, I wish that you were here to see all of this. The curse is slowly getting to me. I can feel myself slowly slipping into darkness...' She shakes her head before exhaling. 'It's so hard to fight. However, I'm trying to fight for the others. They still need me at the moment. It won't be much longer, but for now, it's fine.'

   She takes a deep breath before taking a single step forward. A pair of thin white dragon wings formed on her back. After taking another step, Rose took off into the night. Joy bubbled in her chest when feeling the wind in her hair. Laughter escaped her lips. It wasn't that long before a shadow covered her. Rose growls softly when someone chuckles. "Lovely night for flying. Care if I join you, my sweet granddaughter?"

   Rose glares up as her growls become deeper. "Go away, grandfather. I want to fly alone." Drossmeyler chuckles at the same time he flies beside her. "Now, is that any way to treat your own grandfather? You used to love flying with me." He grinned, dodging her wing trying to whack him.

   Neither of them said a single word for awhile. Drossmeyler grinned when they landed in the middle of a park. Cherry blossom petals begin to bloom after Rose touches a single tree. "Why are you here. We agreed that we wouldn't see each other until the final battle."

   "Wasting no time getting to the point. You're just like your mother..." Drossmeyler sighed. He pushed back some loose hair. "I asked Maho to help curse you. It was only fair that you get a single warning as my only granddaughter." Rose glares at him. Her hands start to spark with magic at the same time he chuckles.

   Tree branches start to sway from a sudden gust of winds. Rose glances around before snapping her fingers. Everything becomes black and white. Drossmeyler smirks when Rose's eyes turn bright amber. "I know what you are planning. You think cursing me will bring me to your side faster. That's where you are wrong. Nothing will stop me until the very end." Her heart skips a bit at the same time she starts coughing. Everything returned to color as her right hand started turning black. "Be careful what you wish for. You're cursed now, and the others will soon follow. I will have you on my side no matter what happens." A whisper rushed in her ear as Drossmeyler took off. Her pupils shake with fear as dark magic surrounds her. A scream filled with fear echoed in the night.
