Chapter 12: The School Master's Riddle

____

As the two schools slept, three heads surfaced outside in the black moat. Y/n, Sophie and Agatha peeped out at the thin silver tower that divided lake from sludge. Too far to swim. Too high to climb. A cyclone of fairies guarded its spire, while an army of wolves with crossbows manned wooden planks at its base.
"Are you two sure he's up there?" Sophie said.
"I saw him." Agatha said.
"Well, he better help us!" Sophie said with a shiver. "I can't go back to that place!"
"We'll just ask nicely, even beg if we have to," said Y/n. "And sooner or later he'll let us go home."
"Because that will work," Sophie snorted. "Leave him to me, darling."

For the last hour, the three girls had mulled over every possible way to escape. Agatha thought they should sneak into the Woods and find their way back to Gavaldon. But Y/n pointed out that even if they got past the gates, they would surely get lost. Y/n instead thought they should ask their deans to be sent home. But Sophie pointed out that if they hadn't let them go home already, why would they change their mind now? Sophie proposed they hunt for enchanted broomsticks or magic carpets or something else in the school that might fly them over the forest.
"And in what direction would we fly?" Agatha asked.

The three girls discarded other options– leaving a trail of breadcrumbs (that never worked); seeking a kindly hunter or dwarf (Agatha didn't trust strangers); wishing for a fairy godmother (Sophie insisted Y/n would be her only one, the new would would probably be fat anyway, and Sophie didn't trust fat women), ask any animals (Y/n was still a little too scared to talk to any animals)– until there only was one left.

But now, peering up at the School Master's fortress, they lost all hope.
"We'll never get up there," Sophie sighed.
"We can't give up now," Y/n said, but she looked quite hopeless herself. Agatha heard a squawk in the distance.
"Hold that thought." A short while later, they were back in the Blue Forest, caked in sludge, eyeing a nest, five skeletal stymphs slept on indigo grass, littered with the blood and limbs of a half-eaten goat.

Sophie scowled. "I'm back where I started, covered in smelly ooze and who knows how many flesh-eating maggots and-"
"Agatha, what are you doing?" Y/n asked, worried for the other.
"As soon as they attack, we jump on."
"As soon as they what?" The other two said simultaneously. But Agatha was already tiptoeing to the eggs.
"The shoes burnt your brain!" Sophie hissed.
"Agatha, I know they only attack Nevers, but is it really a good idea to wake them up?" Y/n said with worry.

As Agatha inched towards the nest, she caught a closer look at the sleeping stymphs' jagged teeth, gnarled talons, and spiked tails that shred flesh from bone. Suddenly doubting her plan, Agatha backed up, only to trip on a branch and fall on a goat leg with a loud crack. The stymphs opened their eyes. Her heart stopped.
Unless a villain wakes them up.
The pink dress wouldn't fool them. Agatha growled at the waking fiends. She couldn't give up now! Not when she had Sophie willing to go home! She lunged for the nest, snatched an egg, sprang up for the blitz—

"Can't watch, can't watch—" Sophie mewled, squinting through fingers for spewing limbs and blood. Y/n, instead of freezing like Sophie, sprung into action without a second thought, sprinting for Agatha. But the vicious birds were nuzzling Agatha, like puppies seeking milk.
"Ooh, that tickles!" she squealed.
"Aww!! Y/n said and pated one of the birds on the head. "They're actually kinda cute." Sophie folded her arms. Clumping back, Agatha handed the egg to her.
"Your turn."
"Oh, please, if they like you, they'll try to mate with me. Animals worship princesses," Sophie pointed to Y/n who the birds started to cuddle against, then sashayed towards the birds—

The stymphs unleashed a war cry and charged.
"Helllllp!" Sophie threw the egg to Agatha, but the stymphs still chased Sophie, who ran in circles like a lunatic, five stymphs high stepping behind her in a moronic maypole parade. Y/n grabbed Agatha's wrist and ran for Sophie.
"Sophie grab on!" She yelled, just about to jump. Sophie took her hand in just the perfect moment and all three girls managed to get on the back of one of the stymphs, who started to fly around in confusion.
"Hang on tight!" Agatha yelled as the bird trashed up to flight, somersaulting over the bay to get the girls off its back. Four more stymphs exploded from the blue trees in murderous pursuit; Agatha kicked at the bird's thighbones, Y/n holding Agatha to not fall off, and Sophie holding onto Y/n for dear life–
"This is the worst plan evveerrr!"
