Ulita is a descendant of the old royal family of Podiebrad. What will the Dark Umbrella do, and what exactly are the House of the Cursed Children and the Moths planning, and where has Hehn am Heim fled?
Dong Ding… Dong Ding
A long time ago there was a knight named Bernard Don Quixote, called Don Quixote Folks. He was a knight who protected the princess. The princess was in love with him, but he only did his duty. He protected the princess until the year 1204, when the Podiebrad family fell because of a rebellion. Because of this, every member was executed, even the four year old child with the excuse that he carried the Podiebrad blood.
Each of them was executed differently. The queen Joanna of Rožmitál was executed by hanging. The king George Podiebrad was shot. The first princess Catherine was executed by fire. Viktor, a prince, was executed through the rat execution. Henry the Younger and Henry the First were both executed by strangling or drowning. Sidonie was impaled. Bocek, who was only four years old, was killed with a sword, executed by having his stomach pierced.
And finally Princess Barbara. She was not the oldest but not the youngest either. She was 23 years old. She was also impaled, but differently. It was more painful, because the stake pierced her from behind through her stomach instead of through her neck or mouth.
In the legend it is even said that the blood fell like rain. She was the most hated because she had beautiful skin and eyes… and… she was blind.
Yet she called for her knight who had disappeared in the war. Years later he actually returned, only for her. But then he learned what had happened. Out of anger and revenge he killed everyone who had been involved in the execution.
It had not been necessary to kill Barbara because she was blind and mostly lay in bed. This was not justice, it was simply brutality. He could understand that the people were angry with the king's family. But to kill a blind woman who mostly stayed in bed and to kill a child… Bocek was four years old.
In his rage he attacked the people and killed many of them until the soldiers finally killed him. But before his death he made a contract with a spirit named Theon. The spirit gave him a ghostly armored form that only awakens when the crying of someone from the royal family is heard.
What the people do not know is that George Podiebrad had many prostitutes in his castle. One of them, whose name was Nene, was pregnant. Because she was not executed and told no one, she gave birth to the child. It was a girl. She named her Hannah, and through her the blood of Podiebrad survived.
Sophie: "Hmm."
Ulita: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Hmm…"
Oliver: "Princess."
Melina: "Wow."
Ulita: "I… a princess… you are joking, right?"
Fiona: "This here is the famous knight Folks. But people also called him Bernard or Don Quixote."
Ulita: "Huh?"
She looked at the knight.
Sophie: "Why is he not attacking us?"
Fiona: "Hmm… interesting question."
She approached him.
Sophie: "Hey Fiona, be careful."
She stood in front of him.
Folks: "Hhhhh…"
Sophie: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Interesting."
She touched Ulita's shoulder and even then he did nothing.
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "He can probably sense who wants to hurt her and who does not. I see… he reminds me a bit of Bob."
Sophie: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Hey Ulita, are you alright? What did he want?"
Melina: "He came through the window and attacked her… mmm…"
Fiona: "Huh?"
She walked to Melina. Melina had her hand over her mouth. Fiona moved it away. Melina's lip was bleeding a little.
Melina: "Mmm."
Fiona: "Was it him?"
Melina: "Yes."
Fiona: "Hmm…"
She looked out the window and suddenly wanted to follow him.
Sophie: "No Fiona!!"
Fiona: "Let me go. I will kill that guy."
Sophie: "Calm down."
Oliver: "Oh… oh…"
He suddenly hid his hand.
Sophie: "What is wrong Oliver?"
She grabbed his hand. It was red.
Sophie: "Mmmmm."
Fiona: "Mmm…"
Sophie: "Let's kill that bastard!"
Fiona: "Watch your language, there are children here."
Sophie: "Hahhh… he is gone anyway. What do we do now?"
Fiona: "We contact the Dark Umbrella. Ulita, do you have a telephone here?"
Ulita: "What… yes… over there."
Fiona: "Thank you very much."
She took the phone, but there was no connection.
Sophie: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "No connection."
Ulita: "What? That cannot be."
Sophie: "Hmm… that reminds me… why is the light off?"
Click
She tried to turn on the light but it did not work.
Sophie: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
A loud sound.
Fiona: "Mmmmm… I feel a powerful… Namesis."
Sophie: "What?"
Suddenly they heard a loud crash downstairs.
Ulita: "Huh… Manja."
Fiona: "Stay with her. I will check."
Sophie: "Okay."
Fiona: "Bob… Chika."
Both appeared.
Chika: "Hehehehe."
Fiona: "Stay behind me."
She went down the stairs.
Fiona: "Manja? Hello?"
Manja: "Urk… ghh…"
Fiona: "Huh? Ugh."
She found Manja lying on the floor with a terrible wound on her stomach.
Manja: "Urk… ghh…"
Fiona: "Hold on."
Manja: "It is here."
Fiona: "What? Did you see it?"
Manja: "Ahhhh… I do not know what it is… but it was very fast… and blue…"
Fiona: "Okay… let me see your wound first."
Tiiinnn
Fiona: "Ugh… that feeling again… it is incredibly fast…"
She took a tissue and threw it into the room.
Whoosh
It disappeared.
Manja: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Shhhh…"
She covered Manja's mouth.
Fiona thought it seems to attack anything that makes noise.
She took one of her bullets and threw it somewhere.
Tinnn
Fiona: "Ugh!"
It was behind her. That was when Bob attacked.
Bob: "Rrrrr!"
Crash
The creature finally appeared.
Manja: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "A Namesis."
Namesis: "Hmmm."
Fiona: "Ah… I see. A near Namesis. They are fast but weak. You were lucky Manja. I will leave it to you two. Chika and Bob, deal with it."
Chika: "Hehehehehe."
Chika the doll attacked it. It dodged her, but then Bob appeared.
Bob: "Rrrr."
Slash
Namesis: "Hhhrrrr."
It dodged again and tried to attack them. Then it attacked Fiona.
Fiona: "Hmm."
Namesis: "Rrrrr."
Fiona: "Hah."
She took her pistol and shot it.
Bang
Namesis: "Urk!"
Crash
It was thrown back.
Fiona: "This is a pistol I received from Herold, made to injure Namesis and monsters like you. Do not get any stupid ideas."
Namesis: "Rrrrr…"
Bob appeared and slashed it.
Splash
Blue blood came out and it fell dead to the floor. Fiona went upstairs carrying Manja on her back.
Manja: "Ugh…"
Fiona: "Hold on."
She laid her on the bed.
Manja: "Ghh…"
Fiona: "Hmm… it hit you pretty badly. Drink this. It is the crying of a frog. It heals wounds from Namesis… well not completely but it reduces the danger."
Manja: "Mmm… gulp… ghhh… tastes terrible."
Fiona: "Can you hold on until I inform the Dark Umbrella? A doctor cannot treat a Namesis wound like this."
Manja: "Ugh… no need… please give me the box over there."
Fiona: "That one?"
Manja: "Yes, the red one."
She gave her the box. Manja opened it and ate the meat inside.
Manja: "Mmm."
Fiona: "What is that?"
Manja: "Mermaid meat."
Fiona: "Oh… I did not know you could eat them."
Manja: "Well… their flesh heals a lot. Look."
Her wounds healed.
Manja: "See?"
Fiona: "Oh… wow."
Manja: "Hahh… since the Dark Umbrella helped us and the House of the Cursed Children attacked us, it means they never really planned to cooperate with us."
Fiona: "And?"
Manja: "I must speak with the leader."
Fiona: "The leader of the Moths?"
Manja: "Mhm."
She stood up and took the phone.
Fiona: "Good, I will wait outside."
Manja: "Okay."
She left the room.
After a few minutes the door opened again.
Manja: "Hahhh…"
Fiona: "What is it?"
Manja: "The leader is not answering. I think he is dead. Someone answered but I only heard the master screaming."
Fiona: "Ugh… I see… so they moved that quickly."
Manja: "What do we do now?"
Fiona: "Warn every Moth member you know. I will call the Dark Umbrella so they send people here to protect you and Ulita."
Manja: "Okay."
Meanwhile
Zantanel: "Hahhh… what a pity. The plan seems to have failed."
Hensson: silent
Zantanel: "He even baked me a cake… hehehe… well… either way we wanted to kill the Moths. If they do not want to follow us, then it was their choice to die."
Several minutes later
Phone ringing
Meliodas: "Hello?"
Fiona: "Master, it is me. Bad news. The House of the Cursed Children killed the leader of the Moths. They are hunting the Moth members here because the Moths did not agree with their ideals."
Meliodas: "I see. How many are dead?"
Fiona: "Every member except Manja and Ulita. Manja tried to reach them but no one answered, so I sent Crane there. The members were lying dead on the ground and looked extremely pale or completely covered in blood."
Meliodas: "I understand."
Fiona: "Please send some guards for Ulita and Manja. They are important people and can help us."
Meliodas: "Alright. Agreed."
Fiona: "Thank you very much."
Meliodas: "Take care of yourself."
He hung up.
Fiona sighed.
She placed her hand on Manja's head.
Manja: "I cannot believe it… we should never have trusted them."
Fiona: "I already suspected they would do something like this, but not so quickly. Manja, Ulita will stay here. Sophie will stay with you. I will go to the houses of the murdered Moth members. So please give me their addresses."
Manja: "Okay… there are not many of us… including me and Ulita we were ten. The master and seven others. Yelena, Hendrik, Arnold, Petrovic, Markova, Novak, and Leroy."
Fiona: "Okay. Tell me one who lived nearby."
Manja: "On Pragen Street there is the house of Markova. Emil Markova. House number 4."
Fiona: "Thank you."
Manja: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Stay here. Otherwise it is dangerous. I will go now."
She went upstairs.
Melina: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Melina, come. You are coming with me."
Melina: "Okay."
They went outside together.
Melina: "Hmm."
Fiona: "We are going to a house address nearby. Emil Markova belonged to the Moths. Be careful. Maybe members of the House of the Cursed Children are still there."
Melina: "Okay."
They began walking.
Melina: "Huh?"
Fiona: "Hmm?"
They noticed someone following them.
Melina: "Miss Fiona."
Fiona: "Come out. We heard you."
The person came out.
Melina: "Huh!"
Fiona: "Ugh… what are you doing here… Remy."
Remy: "Hehehe… good question. I was about to ask you the same."
Fiona: "I am here for work."
Remy: "Oh, me too."
Fiona: "Hmm?"
Remy: "Well, I heard that a group of cursed people called the Moths lives nearby. I wanted to investigate them."
Fiona: "Where did you get that information?"
Remy: "Hehehe… I am just good."
Fiona: "Hahhh… well, you are too late. They are dead."
Remy: "What? Huh?"
Fiona: "Members of the House of the Cursed Children killed them. Only two girls survived, Ulita and Manja."
Remy: "Ugh… I see. And what does the Dark Umbrella want from the Moths?"
Fiona: "We heard they had connections with the House of the Cursed Children, which is why we wanted to investigate them. Somehow they were used. But that they were killed so early confuses me."
Remy: "Let me accompany you."
Fiona: "Sorry, you are not a Dark Umbrella member."
Remy: "So what? I am a detective. The Dark Umbrella has no right to forbid me from doing my job."
Fiona looked at him bored and sighed.
Remy: "Hmm?"
Fiona: "Fine. Then come along."
Remy: "Hehe. Okay."
He joined them.
Remy: "So, how do you like Eager Brünn?"
Fiona: "I am here for work, not sightseeing. But I must say, for being so old fashioned, it is pretty cool."
Remy: "Right? The sweets and food are great… and the women too… hehe."
Melina: "Huh."
Remy: "Oh… hello Melina. Long time no see."
Melina: smiling "Hello. Nice to see you again, Mr. Remy."
Remy: "Hehehe… Mr. Remy… I like that. Please always call me that."
Fiona sighed and placed her hand on her forehead.
Remy laughed.
Fiona thought she might lose her mind and wondered why he was even outside at this hour.
Fiona: "Hmm… this must be the street… Pragen… house number 4."
Remy: "Hmm."
She knocked on the door.
Remy: "No answer."
Fiona: "Hmm."
Melina: "Huh."
She pushed the door slightly. It was open.
Melina: "It is open."
Fiona: "Mhm… they were probably in a hurry."
Remy: "Hmm."
Fiona: "You two… it might look brutal inside if they were really murdered. Be careful."
Remy: "You do not need to tell me that."
Melina: "Okay."
They entered.
Remy: "Hmm… quiet here."
Fiona: "Ugh…"
Remy: "Ugh… what smells so bad?"
Melina: "Mmm."
Fiona: "Look over there."
Remy: "Hmm… ugh."
Melina: "Hahhh…"
Melina covered her mouth with both hands. A corpse lay on the floor, completely disfigured.
Remy: "Damn… what did they do?"
Fiona: "Hmm."
She checked the pulse.
Remy: "What is the point? Of course he is dead."
Fiona: "Checking is necessary. Hmm… this was not a normal attack."
Remy: "Members of the House of the Cursed Children."
Fiona: "I think so."
Meanwhile
Sophie sighed.
Oliver looked worried.
Ulita breathed nervously.
Back with Fiona, Remy and Melina
Remy: "Hmm."
Fiona: "It seems he died about two hours ago."
Remy: "At least he died quickly."
Fiona: "No. Look there."
She pointed to a green area.
Remy: "Hmm."
Fiona: "Those are herbs. He was probably drinking herbs to help his patients and was attacked. In pain and desperation he tried to escape. But whatever happened… it was not enough. He was stabbed in the chest. Although I think some ability is also responsible for the way he looks. Find a picture of him."
Remy: "Okay."
Melina: "Okay."
They searched for a picture.
Melina found one and handed it to Fiona.
Remy: "Uh oh… Melina… have you ever seen Fiona use her ability?"
Melina: "No, why?"
Remy: "Then please do not be shocked."
Fiona looked at the clock and turned back time two hours. Then she took her pistol and shot herself in the head.
Bang
Melina: "Ugh! Miss Fiona!"
Remy: "Shhh… it is okay… she will be back soon."
Melina: "Yes but… hahh…"
Remy: "Calm down."
Fiona returned two hours back in time as a spirit.
She looked around.
Emil: humming "Drinking herbs… with this I will surely help my patients."
Fiona: "He was a doctor… hmm… huh?"
She saw someone sneaking behind him.
Emil turned around and immediately got stabbed in the chest.
Emil: "Aaaaargh… why?"
He dropped the bottle.
Crash
Emil: "Ugh… what is this… aaaaaargh…"
His face turned pale.
House of the Cursed Children member: "Hehehehe."
He quickly ran away.
Emil: "Ugh… help…"
He crawled.
Emil: "H… help…"
Fiona turned away and clenched her teeth while the screaming became louder.
Emil: "AAAAAARGHHHHHH…"
Finally it stopped.
Fiona sighed and wondered why the killer simply left even though there were so many murder traces.
She returned to the present.
Whoosh
She returned to her body.
Fiona: "Ugh… hahh…"
She stood up.
Remy and Melina were staring out the window in shock.
Remy: "Oh… Fiona, you are back."
Fiona: "Yes… what is going on?"
Remy: "Look out the window."
She did.
Fiona: "Ughhh!"
A huge monster that could be seen from far away stood there. It was enormous. Not a sea monster but a gigantic figure without a head and with two floating hands.
Remy: "What is that?"
Fiona: "That figure… hahh… that cannot be… Lu… Lu… Lupin!"
Meanwhile
Sophie: "Hahhh…"
Oliver: "Sophie…"
Ulita: "What is going on?"
Sophie: "That cannot be… that figure… Lupin… from the Grimoire of the Beings of Oz!"
Meanwhile
Rosika: "Huhhh…"
Daisy: "Damn… are we too late!"
Meanwhile
Remy: "Ugh…"
Lupin: laughing "Hahahahahahahahaha… my time has finally come!"
The being Lupin was flying or floating, at least it looked like that. But in truth his legs were resting on the clouds.
Meanwhile
Tom Fog: "Hmm… ugh!"
He felt a strange sensation.
Tom Fog: "I understand… he is here… Lupin!"
