The sounds of nervous, cautious whispers filled a beautiful chapel as fey creatures of various sizes and types patiently sat below in their seats. They were all gathered for what was supposed to be princess Aurora's wedding to the prince of Ulstead. Despite her being a human she was brought up as Maleficent's daughter and loved by all.

Little did the creatures know that they were not celebrating the love between the princess and prince. They were about to be slaughtered in the most brutal way simply because they were not human. Their voices and whispers were suddenly silenced by the sound of doors closing from the balcony above.

In walked a petite, red-haired woman who appeared relatively young with her hair tied back to perfection. Her face appeared innocent almost like a doll with big blue eyes. Her smooth pale skin added onto her innocent image however she gave off a dangerous, dark aura.

Gerda smirked when she caught sight of their frightful eyes as they followed her walking form from below. Her heart pumped with excitement once she neared the pipe organ. The beauty of the musical instrument was key to doing what needed to be done. It held the poison within the pipes that would kill off all the creatures.

Gerda gracefully sat down on the chair and took a deep breath before allowing her small fingers to lightly caress the keys and play a tune. The creatures had expected it to be a beautiful piece but instead were greeted by a deep, sinister sound that instantly caused unease within the room. Many clung to each other's hands in an attempt to calm their growing fear.

They gasped when a loud swooshing sound vibrated throughout the room and quickly searched for the source with their glossy eyes. A huge red ball of a dusty substance had flown out of the pipe connected to the organ. Gerda shivered in excitement when her finger tapped another key causing a second wave of red dusty smoke to fly out of the pipe organ.

The room then filled with terrified screams as the creatures that came into contact with the smoke burst into a pile of ash and dust. It was an instant death brought upon them by the hands of Gerda who eagerly continued on playing the pipe organ with glee. She felt a thrill of happiness as the screaming continued. They deserved it all. She looked forward to this day and knew she was doing her kingdom a favor by ridding it of the disgusting creatures. The slaughter continued on for nearly an hour, ridding the room of the largest fairies in the group.

Her thoughts were suddenly paused when her pipe organ stopped working. She angrily slammed her finger down on the key but it was no use since no sound was coming out. Her eyes glanced up and noticed the heads of vivid blue flowers sticking out of each pipe. One of the filthy creatures had sacrificed itself in order to save the rest of its kind. Gerda then stood up and quickly climbed the pipe organ till she was high enough to reach the freshly bloomed flowers. Her hands attempted to reach up and pull them out but was suddenly interrupted by two tiny winged fairies who angrily attacked her from behind.
