Alara the Dark Temptress

Alara Solves her Dilemma

Back on Planet Dylos immediately after Alara had left, the Angel Mushi restored the Gorgon Queen's castle and Magdolyn was recovering in the infirmary. The Gorgon Queen was healing the clawed burn mark left on her stomach and chest by Alara's last attack. Mushi and her God of Destruction Jaeger both look on, hoping she'll wake up soon. "That stupid lousy no good Demon Queen! How dare she come here and do this to Maggie!" The Gorgon Queen whines. "What business did the Demon Queen have here anyway?" Mushi asks. "It doesn't matter! She ruined my future, then tried to come here and kill me AND Maggie! On MY soil! This aggression will not stand, I want her DEAD! DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD DEAD-" The Gorgon Queen continues her protests to the point where she forgets what she's doing and starts banging the bed frame where Magdolyn is resting. "Relax yourself, my Queen. Magdolyn still isn't awake yet. We shouldn't move her too much." Jaeger suggests. The Gorgon Queen stops and holds her stomach. "Ow ow ow! Oooh, my stomach..." She groans. "Everything alright?" Mushi asks her. "Oh I'm fine! Just stupid cramps again. Anyway, what was I talking about? O-oh yea! That stupid Demon Queen! I want her head and I want it right now!" The Gorgon Queen demands. Mushi closes her eyes in thought. "I suppose that's not out of line. She did come here in attempt to take your life. But I recommend you speak it over with Magdolyn first as she is your advisor, and not us." Mushi says. "Pssh! I don't need anyone's permission! I'm... well, I don't remember how old I am exactly... Maggie probably knows, but that's not the point! I'm old enough, I can make my own decisions. This is my kingdom, and I want, A WAR!" The Gorgon Queen demands angrily. Mushi and Jaeger look to each other with concern. "Well, my Queen, as the Demon Queen resides in the 7th Universe, you do realize that our involvement would be minimal at best, right?" Jaeger asks her. "Fine then! My army is more than capable of bringing me back her stupid, slutty head! When Maggie wakes up, we're moving out!" The Gorgon Queen declares looking down at Magdolyn again. Meanwhile, Alara returns back to her planet and immediately storms into Wyndham's lab. "WYYYYYYYRM!" Alara yells as she walks up to him. Wyndham, who looked to be examining the Insect creature Alara brought him, jumps at the sound of his voice. Alara grabs him by his coat and throws him over the desk to the ground. "It was you who sent that annoying ninja bitch after me, wasn't it?!?" Alara asks her angrily. Wyndham looks around confused and scared. "Eh, what?!? I have, no idea what you're talking about!" Wyndham says. "Stop lying!" Alara says as she charges a ki blast at the insect on his desk. "Or your stupid little pet gets it!" Alara threatens. "No no wait! Don't hurt her, please!" Wyndham pleads with her on his knees. Alara raises an eyebrow and Wyndham confesses. "Yes, it was I who hired the assassin Katherine to take your life." Wyndham says.

Alara shakes her head in disappointment. "Tsk tsk, Wyrm. You know what must be done now. That is no way to treat your mistress. You leave me no choice but to punish you." Alara says as Wyndham puts his head down. Alara starts to think, her hand pressed to her chin. "I could just slap you around some more, but you look like you'd be into that sort of thing. What an incel. Let's see..." Alara says still in thought. She then snaps her fingers once she thinks of a suitable punishment. "Ah! Perfect!" Alara says. She holds her hand and a red mark appears on Wyndham's forehead. "There. Since you clearly have no affinity for me as your mistress, I'll have to instill your loyalty myself." Alara says with a devilish smile. "Wh-what is this?" Wyndham asks. "I'm sure you'll figure it out. Remember this pain next time you decide to cross me. Anyway, I'll be off now." Alara says as she leaves. The further she gets up the stairs, Wyndham's mark begins to glow red and sizzle. It heats up on his head, getting hotter and hotter to the touch. "Ah! What the hell is this?!? It feels like, my brain is on fire!" Wyndham screams as the mark burns more and more the further Alara walks away. "Ahahaha! Have a good night, Wyrm! Do something of use by tomorrow and I may... consider, removing the curse mark. Ta-ta!" Alara says as she gets back to the surface of her planet, Wyndham screaming all the while in the background. "Now then, after that Gorgon Queen debacle I suppose I should lay low for a bit. I doubt this thing will be blowing over anytime soon, but there's too much happening too fast around here lately. I'm still not strong enough, not yet. I can go much further than this still, but I need time. And I have to make sure no one gets in my way." Alara says. She heads into her home and for the next week keeps a low profile. Things are calm for her for a while as she trained off on her planet and occasionally takes breaks to check on, or torment, the scientist Wyndham. However one day, she feels two powerful and familiar power signatures headed towards the Demon Realm. It breaks her meditation and she sighs annoyed. "Oh great. I think I know who they are. What the hell are they doing here, and why are they here now?" Alara says as she gets to her feet. Meanwhile in the Demon Realm, the Gorgon Queen and Magdolyn both approach Tara's Palace, but they are alone without an Army behind them. The Gorgon Queen looks around breathing in the air. "What a dump. Our Demon Realm is way nicer than this one. Anyway, go get the Demon Queen, Maggie." The Gorgon Queen demands. "Your Highness, with all due respect, wouldn't it have been more wise to simply launch a surprise attack on the Demon Queen and her Kingdom? Why are we giving her a declaration of war?" Magdolyn asks.
