Inside of a certain fairy queens castle, which was located inside of Vurs soul, Stella was sitting on a beansprout with her legs crossed. Her arms were crossed in front of her chest, and she was facing a series of cells. There were three people locked inside: Breeze, Sir Edward, and Ralph. The cells were positioned in such a way that the three n couldnt see each other. Stella cleared her throat. It has co to my attention, she said and paused, gauging the reactions of her prisoners. Only Sir Edward showed an ounce of change, his moustache twitching. There has been a failed plot involving a bunny.
None of the prisoners said anything. Stella snapped her fingers, and a slapping sound broke the silence as a vine smacked the floor, extending from the beansprout. A long line of cracks was left where the tiles had broken from the impact. The fairy queens eyes narrowed. Well, well, well, she said and stroked her chin. Tight-lipped, are we? Lets see how long that can last.
Breeze scratched his nose and leaned back. Whatever happened to him, it didnt matter. Knowing who the rabbit was going up against, he had already expected it to fail, but he wasnt going to make it easy for the fairy queen to find out the details. It was impossible to interrogate that rabbit; after all, it couldnt speak normally. As for Sir Edward, he was even less inclined to rat out the rabbit. Imagine if Stella found out what the rabbit was plotting; shed skin it alive and more. He couldnt let sothing that cute suffer a fate that tragic. However, the two were confused. Why wasnt the blood soldier saying anything? The rabbit had practically eaten him alive.
Stella kept her arms crossed, still staring at the three n, trying to intimidate them with pressure despite not looking scary at all. After waiting for a while with no response, she turned her head to the side. Didnt you say this would work? How co they arent reacting?
Zilphy materialized out of the air, condensing into a green rock that dropped to the ground. I dont know, she said and tilted her head, which was her whole body. Maybe you arent threatening enough? I rember Deedee going around doing things like this. Whenever people didnt pay back a loan they took, hed appear in their hos and stare at them very nacingly. Then, theyd give him the money without saying a word!
A brown lump rose out of the ground, forming a brown boulder with diamondlike eyes. Wait. I only used to do things like that several decades ago, and I dont recall you being there to witness any of that, he said. I know you said you fell in love with a long ti ago since you first laid eyes on , but have you stalked whilst being invisible the whole ti?
A tinge of pink appeared on Zilphys green body. No! I an, um, if you like the idea of stalking you, then yes, but if you dont, then no. Zilphy bobbed up and down before looking around. She patted Stellas shoulder with her sticklike hand. Well, good luck. I have, um, things to do. Bye! With a swirl of wind, Zilphy vanished, leaving Stella and Diamant behind.
Stella blinked at Diamant. Shes probably still in the area watching you right now.
Diamant sighed and shook his head. I really dont understand why Im so popular, he said. Well, if you dont need , Ill be going to do things in privatebut not really because invisible people like to watch for so reason.
Have fun. Stella waved as Diamant disappeared. Then, she turned her gaze back onto her prisoners. Alright, maybe the three of you think Im not intimidating. Just because Im tiny and adorable, you think I cant hurt you? Hmph.
Ralph sighed. I dont really understand whats going on, he said. Before I beca a soldier, I was just a simple farr. Whats this about a plot and a bunny?
A wine snapped down, cracking the floor tiles in front of the blood soldiers cage. Stella snorted before saying, A spirit rabbit was found with black whiskers, a golden mustache, and blood-red patterns on its body. Its been trying to control Vurs actions and the elentals feelings for the past few months. Dont tell you three arent involved! Tell , whats the rabbits goal?
Ralph scratched his head. I rember being eaten by a rabbit a while back. It ca here and made a deal with two other prisoners inside this dungeon, he said and nodded. Afterwards, I tried to lure it over to make a snack out of it, but it ate instead. I never expected a rabbit to grow into a bear. Did you know they could do that?
Stella blinked. What kind of deal did the rabbit make?
Ralph shrugged. All I heard was soone saying to not forget the deal, and the fairy queen will stuff him into a coffin if she finds out. And then soone else said he wanted to make the sa deal as the bundle of resentnt.
Alright, Stella said and clapped her hands together once. Ralphs cell door opened. Im a benevolent queen who prefers rewards over punishnts.
Youre letting go? Ralph asked, raising an eyebrow.
Just out of your cell, Stella said. Youre still not allowed to leave the dungeon.
Wait, Breeze said. That soldiers lying. Hes the one that made a deal with the rabbit. Hes trying to fra us.
Thats right, Sir Edward said, pounding his fist against the ground. He threatened to kill us if we ratted him out, but I dont believe youll watch us die like this. Were your precious prisoners.
Stella scratched her head. I really thought itd be easier to discover the rabbits plot from the people who could talk. I dont want to deal with this mystery-novel-he-said-she-said nonsense, she said and sighed. Ill just torture the rabbit instead. Bye.
