Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 Ring

When Sebastian did not show up that night, his friends began to worry. They went looking for him.

"Sebastian… hey…"

They whispered because they were not allowed to be outside at night.

"Hey, Luie… do you think something happened to him?"

Luie: "Be quiet, Bretton. Sebastian is a strong mage."

(Burp)

They suddenly heard it.

Luie: "Did you hear that?"

Bretton: "No… but…"

They looked up, and suddenly a glove fell down. Inside was a hand.

(Splat)

Luie: "Ugh."

Bretton: "Ugh… aaargh…"

Luie: "Shhhh…"

Luie: "Ugh…"

Bretton: "That belongs to Sebastian… but who could have done this to him?"

Luie: "Who else could it be… Nacht."

Bretton: "We should tell the teacher."

Luie: "Are you stupid? We can't. They won't believe us. This is our problem. We will find Sebastian. And if he is dead, we will take revenge."

Some hours later.

The next day, in the morning, Nacht wanted to take a shower. Ichabod allowed him to take the ring off for showering, so he left it on the table. But he did not know that the twins Luie and Bretton had noticed that something was strange about that ring.

Luie: "That's it."

Bretton: "Are you sure he needs it? I mean…"

Luie: "That day, when he left Miss Two Ages' room, I saw him talking to his fairy tale Ichabod, and Ichabod warned him not to remove the ring."

Bretton: "Oh."

That day.

Nacht: "Alright… what about the ring?"

Ichabod: "Nacht, no. No matter how late it is, I know you can't be without that ring. Whatever happens, it is dangerous and you could die."

Nacht: "Okay, okay. I got it."

But someone had overheard everything by accident.

Luie: "Oh… so it's the ring."

Back to the present.

Bretton: "I understand, but if he dies, we will have problems."

Luie: "He could die, he said. That means it's guaranteed. What is certain is that he will be weak. Sebastian is dead, that's for sure. And we will avenge our friend."

Bretton: "Alright. Let's do it."

They took the ring and disappeared immediately. Right after they left, Nacht was finished and came out. He wore an undershirt and pants.

Nacht: (Sighs) "Huh…" (Shock) "Hey… Ichabod… where is the ring?"

Ichabod: "What do you mean? It's on the table!"

Nacht: "I can't find it."

Ichabod: "Damn it… Nacht… the sun is about to shine!"

The sun rose, and its light touched Nacht's skin.

Nacht: "Aaaaaaaargh… ghhhh!"

Ichabod pulled out a coffin.

Ichabod: "Damn it. Get into the coffin, now!"

Nacht climbed into the coffin.

Ichabod: "Damn… who took it? Nacht… we have to find it. Crane."

Crane: "(Hoohoo) Aha?"

Ichabod: "Go to Kisa and Diego now. Tell them what happened."

Crane: "(Hoohoo) Yes, okay."

Crane rushed away. Kisa and Diego were already in the classroom.

Kisa: "Strange. Where is Nacht?"

Diego: "Is he sleeping?"

Mona: "Hmm…"

Crane: "(Hoohoo loud!)"

Kisa: "Aaaaaah. You scared me, Crane."

Diego: "What is it?"

Crane: "Nacht… Nacht… his ring was stolen."

Kisa: "Ugh… the ring?"

Crane: "Yes."

Diego: "What does it do?"

Crane: "(Hoohoo) Without the ring, Nacht can't be without it in the morning because of the curse. If he is, he dies."

Mona: "I thought his curse brings him back."

Crane: "Yes, but the more he dies, the stronger his magic becomes, and the harder it is to control."

Kisa: "Huh… oh no…"

Diego: "What do we do now?"

Mona: "Someone must have taken it."

Kisa: "Who could it be?"

Mona: "I don't know."

Diego: "Maybe Charlotte."

Crane: "I don't think it was that girl."

Mona: "He's right. Charlotte isn't someone who hides. If she wanted something, she would just take it openly. She is stronger than him, so why would she sneak around. I think it was someone else."

Mona looked around.

Diego: "But class is about to start."

Mona: "I have an idea."

Diego: "Huh?"

Kisa: "Hmm?"

Mona took out her fairy tale, The Four Town Musicians. A dog appeared.

Kisa: "Oh."

Mona: "Hey, Rufus. I want you to search for something for me."

Rufus: "And what would that be?"

Mona: "Find me a ring."

Rufus: "I need something that smells like the person."

Crane: "(Hoohoo) Wait, I'll get it."

Crane hurried back to Ichabod.

Ichabod: "And?"

Crane: "I need something that smells like Nacht."

Ichabod: "Hmm?"

Crane: "Mona called a dog from her fairy tale."

Ichabod: "Ah, I see. Nacht, give him something."

Nacht opened the coffin a little and handed over a piece of clothing.

Crane sniffed it.

Crane: "(Hoohoo) Good. I'm on my way."

Ichabod: "Hurry."

Crane returned.

Crane: "(Hoohoo) I have something."

He gave the cloth to Rufus. Rufus sniffed it.

Rufus: "Okay. Count on me."

He ran off.

Diego: "Whoa."

Kisa: "Cool."

Mona: "When class is over, we can help him. For now, we have to rely on Rufus."

Kisa: "Mhm."

Class began with Two Ages.

Two Ages: "Hmm… where is Nacht?"

Kisa: "Oh… um… he doesn't feel so well."

Two Ages: "Oh dear. Shouldn't he go to the doctors, Doctoroky and Dorothy?"

Kisa: "Oh… uh…"

Diego: "Oh, he almost never gets sick, so don't worry. He probably ate something… uh…"

Mona: "He has an allergy to something he ate. Cheese."

Kisa: "No, Mona, that's not good."

Mona: "Why?"

Diego: "Nacht loves cheese."

Mona: "Doesn't matter. Yes, he ate cheese."

Two Ages: "Aha…"

Luie: "Hehehe."

Bretton: "Hehehe."

Charlotte: "Hmm?"

Roland: "I think you caused trouble."

Charlotte: "Shhh. Quiet."

After class.

Mona: "Good. Now we can search. You come with me, Diego."

Diego: "Okay."

Kisa: "I'll look in the hall."

Mona: "I don't think you should do it alone."

Charlotte: "May I help you?"

Charlotte walked over smiling.

Mona: "And why would you help?"

Charlotte: "I just want to help. Why, is that forbidden?"

Mona: "You can't be trusted."

Charlotte: "Huh?"

Kisa: "Stop, Mona. I think it's good she wants to help."

Kisa smiled. Charlotte smiled back.

Charlotte: "That's really sweet, Kisa. You're a wonderful girl."

Kisa: "Hehe, thanks. Let's search in the former teachers' rooms."

Mona: "Be careful. They talk a lot. And watch out for that soldier. He once beheaded a student because he thought she was an intruder."

They split up. They searched for clues. Mona used her Grimm fairy tale, The Bremen Town Musicians, and the dog Rufus. Charlotte refused because Herold would start a fight with Rufus. Cat and dog. So Rufus stayed with Mona and Diego, and Herold stayed with Charlotte and Kisa.

Rufus was a good dog and helped Mona and Diego. He sniffed and searched for the ring.

Mona: "So… um… is it possible you and Nacht don't get along?"

Diego: "Do you think?"

Mona: "You two always insult each other."

Diego: "Nacht just always acts cold. I don't know why. Even with Kisa."

Mona: "But you can tell he likes that girl."

Diego: "You noticed?"

Mona: "Yes."

Diego: "What about you?"

Mona: "Hmm?"

Diego: "You're a pretty girl. So why are you like this?"

Mona: "Ugh… what did you say?"

She stopped.

Mona: "You're just being sarcastic, right?"

Mona looked at him.

Mona: "Back then, when I tried to lead you, you rejected me coldly and even gave me this wound."

Diego: "I'm sorry. I mean… uh…"

Mona: "You're talking like it was something great."

Diego: "It was enough to get me excited."

Mona: "Huh?"

Diego: "Yep."

Mona: "So you really just said that. Tsk. You only want pretty girls."

She stared at him suspiciously.

Diego: "But you are pretty."

Mona: "Hah."

Mona paused, then suddenly lifted her shirt and showed her stomach.

Diego: "Aaaaargh, hey… ugh."

Mona: "And now, what do you say?"

Her skin was covered in wounds, stitched wounds.

Mona: "And?"

She showed her back too. More stitches, some opening with blood leaking.

Mona: "Do you still think I'm pretty?"

Diego: "… your blood is sweet."

Mona: "What. Did you just lick it. Did you seriously lick my blood?"

Diego: "Yeah. I thought that would be proof enough for you."

Mona: "Ghhhh."

(Slap)

Mona: "I can't believe how perverted you are."

Diego: "Ow…"

Mona: "I can't believe it…"

Diego: "I was just trying to be nice."

Mona: "Hah."

He held her hand.

Diego: "I heard something."

Mona: "Huh?"

Rufus: "Madness… and I smell something. But it's not the ring."

Mona: "Then what is it?"

Rufus: "Someone is watching us. And no, it's not a student. Someone with murderous intent."

Mona: "What?"

Diego: "I smell it too, but it's weak."

Mona: "Right. You can turn into a wolf. Your senses are similar. You should have said that earlier. Then I would have left Rufus with Charlotte and Kisa."

Diego: "The problem is I can use my hearing better. I still don't fully know how to use the other senses. And I smell it only very, very faintly."

Rufus: "Because you aren't using your transformation."

Diego: "I don't want to. I still can't control it well. I'm afraid I'll hurt a student."

Mona: "I understand. Rufus, is it a woman or a man?"

Rufus: "Hmm… it is not human."

Mona: "What?"

Rufus looked at Mona with a serious face.

Rufus: "Get out of here. Now."

Mona: "Ugh…"

Diego: "But…"

Mona: "We listen to him. It's not here anyway. We search somewhere else."

She could tell Rufus meant it. He was normally calm, but now he looked afraid.

Mona: "Let's go."

Meanwhile.

Charlotte: "Hmm…"

Herold: "Meow."

Kisa: "I think it's nice that you're helping us."

Charlotte: "I'm doing this because of yesterday. Because you helped me."

Kisa: "You mean the fairy's arm?"

Charlotte: "Exactly."

Kisa: "I meant it. I felt sorry for her."

Charlotte: "Mhm…"

Kisa: "Charlotte…"

Charlotte: "You know… my parents abandoned me in the forest. The fairy tale beings found me and took care of me. Fairies too."

Kisa: "Oh…"

Charlotte: "That fairy was a mother of four fairies. She took care of me together with them and with other nature spirits."

Kisa: "I understand."

Charlotte walked on.

Kisa: "But Charlotte… sorry to say it… you have magic that feels a little like a Vinka."

Charlotte: "Hehe. So you figured it out."

Kisa: "Mhm. But I didn't want to tell anyone."

Charlotte: "That's sweet. In the Fairy Tale Forest there is a border. I ended up there. And the Vinka that should have eaten me… petted me instead. I even drank its milk."

Kisa: "Ugh… so that means…"

Charlotte: "I was born human, but I was raised by nature spirits, fairy tale figures, and even Vinka. That's why they gave me the name Fairy Tale Princess."

She held Kisa's cheeks.

Kisa: "Mmm…"

Charlotte: "Kisa, please don't tell anyone. I'm telling you, but you must not tell anyone. No one would believe me, and if they did, they would think I'm a Vinka. Yes, I have Vinka blood in me, but I am human. Promise me you won't tell anyone."

Kisa: "…I promise."

Charlotte: "Thank you."

She stroked Kisa's hair.

Charlotte: "You are a good girl. The Queen of Fairy Tales would probably like you. She loves obedient girls."

Kisa: "Oh…"

Charlotte: "Hehe."

Kisa: "How old are you, Charlotte?"

Charlotte: "A week ago I turned fifteen."

Kisa: "Really. You just turned fifteen."

Charlotte: "Yes. Why?"

Kisa: "So you're the same age as me. Why are you taller and look older?"

Charlotte: "Oh, hehehe. That's because I drank Vinka milk. It probably affected my growth. Vinka blood gives a lot of power too. I think that might be why."

Charlotte smiled. Kisa looked at her, surprised. Charlotte did not seem evil. Maybe pushy and bold, but not evil.

Kisa: "Hmm…"

Charlotte: "By the way, Kisa… you're fourteen, but tell me how you…"

Kisa: "How I what?"

Charlotte stared at Kisa's chest.

Charlotte: "Why am I almost flat."

Kisa: "Huh. You're not flat."

Charlotte: "I know, but still…"

Kisa: "You're still pretty."

Charlotte: "You think so?"

Kisa: "Yes."

Charlotte: "Hmm…"

Charlotte: "Oh?"

Kisa: "Do you maybe want to be our friend. I think you're a great girl."

Charlotte: "Uh… hehehe. Not if Nacht is with you."

Kisa: "Why. What do you have against Nacht?"

Charlotte: "Not him. His family. His family did terrible things."

She held onto her necklace.

Charlotte: "Something I simply cannot forgive."

Kisa: "Oh…"

Kisa held Charlotte's cheeks.

Kisa: "I'm sorry. I didn't know."

Charlotte: "Ugh…"

Charlotte said nothing. She was surprised at how kind Kisa was. And those warm hands made Charlotte think of her mother, the mother she barely knew.

Charlotte: "Ugh…"

Kisa noticed Charlotte's look, as if she might cry.

Kisa: "Are you okay?"

Charlotte: "Warm."

Kisa: "Huh. Are you okay."

Charlotte: "Ugh… what… no… yes."

She stepped away after Kisa let go.

Charlotte: "Um… I would say… it's not here. Let's keep searching."

They kept going. Charlotte walked in front, one hand on her cheek.

Charlotte: "Seriously… why can I not even hate her. Why does that warmth remind me of my mother."

Kisa: "Huh…"

Kisa looked at her own hand.

Kisa: "Her cheeks… cold… like snow."

Charlotte's face turned serious as she walked.

Charlotte: "(I must not become weaker. They abandoned me.)"

Herold: "Meow… grrrrr…"

Charlotte: "Huh. What is it, Herold?"

Then she noticed it too.

Charlotte: "Huh…"

(Step) (Step)

Charlotte: "Ugh."

Kisa: "Huh."

(Slash)

Charlotte: "Watch out."

She shoved Kisa away.

Kisa: "Ugh… huh."

A sword went straight through Charlotte's neck.

Charlotte: "Urk… gahhhh…"

Kisa: "Ugh."

It was the soldier Mona warned about. He kicked Charlotte away, down into the lower room.

Kisa: "No, Charlotte."

Soldier: "For… the emperor… Pendragon."

Kisa: "Ugh…"

Kisa pulled out Hansel and Gretel, but the soldier grabbed her by the throat.

Kisa: "Urk."

Soldier: "For the king."

(Wooo)

Charlotte: "Hey… hey… did you forget me."

Soldier: "Huh."

He turned. Charlotte floated in the air.

Charlotte: "It's not enough to stab my neck. I am a human raised by fairy tales and Vinka. I drank their milk and blood. Hehehe."

Soldier: "Hmm."

He pulled out another sword and threw it at her, but it stopped right in front of her eyes.

Charlotte: "Hmph."

The sword flew back toward the soldier. He blocked it with his second sword.

Charlotte: "Who are you, if I may ask. Your armor belongs to the old kingdom of Britanika."

Soldier: "My name is Silvo. Silvo Sanderson."

Charlotte: "Hehehe. I thought you were a good soldier. Seems you were only an ordinary one."

Silvo: "Haa!"

He blew a horn. From the paintings on the walls, several figures came out.

"Hahh…"

"Grrr…"

Charlotte: "Oh. Seems you have friends."

A fire mage shot flames at Charlotte. She dodged.

Charlotte: "Too slow, my dear."

The mage blinked.

Charlotte appeared behind her, pulled a knife from her belly button, and stabbed the mage in the throat.

Mage: "Urk… gahhh…"

Charlotte: "That is how you do it. That is how you hit the throat. I am not a pacifist. I like seeing my enemies suffer. This knife goes slowly into the vein and then…"

Charlotte grabbed the mage's face and tore it apart with her bare hands.

(Splat)

Charlotte: "Ahahahahaha."

Then a man with a hammer attacked. The hammer froze in mid air, then slammed into its owner after Charlotte made a few hand signs.

(Splat)

Hammer soldier: "Urk…"

Charlotte: "A big weapon, seriously. Too easy."

Then a knight arrived, floating in the air.

Charlotte: "Oh, you can float. Like me."

She dodged again.

Charlotte: "But unfortunately…"

Two puppets appeared and fired at the knight. Not at the horse, only at the rider. The knight fell. The horse fell too, but Charlotte used her magic to catch the horse and lowered it gently.

Charlotte: "I do not kill animals."

Kisa: "Ugh…"

Charlotte: "Now… my dear Silvo."

Silvo: "Ugh…"

He tried to run, but Charlotte appeared above him.

Charlotte: "No, no. Bad soldier. You cannot just run away. What kind of soldier are you. This is for you."

Silvo: "Huh… urk."

(Splat)

The knight's spear from earlier pierced Silvo's back.

Charlotte: "Because you tried to kill me, I will make sure you cannot return into your paintings like your friends."

She began tearing the paintings apart.

Kisa: "No. Stop, Charlotte. He has had enough."

Charlotte: "Hmm?"

She stopped.

Kisa: "Listen, soldier. We will spare you if you promise not to attack anyone again. You killed a girl before. That cannot be. What kind of soldier kills an innocent child."

Silvo: "Ugh…"

Kisa: "Otherwise we will be forced to kill you."

Silvo: "Fine."

Kisa: "One more thing. Did you see a ring, or hear people talking about a ring."

Silvo: "What. No. Why."

Kisa: "Oh. Then that's all."

Silvo: "Can I go now."

Kisa looked at Charlotte. Charlotte sighed and let him go. He returned into his painting.

Kisa: "Charlotte."

Charlotte: "Relax. They return too."

The other bodies returned into their paintings as well.

Charlotte: "See."

Kisa: "Oh…"

Charlotte: "Ghosts are not easy to kill."

Kisa: "Ugh…"

Charlotte turned toward the ghosts. They all trembled.

Kisa: "Ugh."

Charlotte: "Hehehe. Looks like you have had enough. Hey. Have you heard anything about a ring."

They shook their heads.

Charlotte: "Aaaaargh. You are useless."

Kisa: "That's enough, Charlotte. We should search somewhere else."

Charlotte: "Fine."

Then she noticed a statue.

Kisa: "Hmm?"

Charlotte: "Strange."

It said Sentinels, which means guards.

Charlotte: "Let's go. I just thought they looked familiar."

The Knight of Nightmares.

They searched and searched but found nothing.

Crane: "Hoohoo… what do we do now."

Charlotte: "Good question."

Mona: "We should maybe ask the students."

Charlotte: "Bad idea."

Kisa: "Hmm?"

Charlotte: "Nacht's family is famous. If people find out he lost something, they will use it. They will notice something even if we never say what the ring does."

Mona: "Damn it."

Crane: "Hoohoo…"

(Ding dong)

Class.

Mona: "We search later."

Crane: "(Caw) No need. It will be night soon. The ring is only for the sun."

Mona: "What happens if he touches the sun."

Crane: "He dies, but he returns because of the curse, only at night."

Mona: "Then he can deal with it. Let's go. I heard we have a new teacher. We should not be late."

They went to class.

Albert Halbert: "Hello. I am your biology teacher. I am half human and half animal as you can see. A deer. My name is Albert Halbert."

Mona: "The teachers here get weirder every time."

Charlotte: "Hmm."

Kisa: "Hmm."

Diego: "What is it. Are you worried."

Kisa: "Mhm."

Albert Halbert: "So. Do you know how children are made."

Diego: "Huh."

Mona: "Huh."

Charlotte: "Huh."

Kisa: "Huh."

Diego: "Oh yeah!!!!

Kisa: "Aaaaargh."

Mona: "I think I should have stayed in my room."

Charlotte: "That is cool."

Diego: "Oh…"

Kisa shut her eyes. Mona started to shrink back. Charlotte held herself down there.

Charlotte: "Of all pictures, he had to choose that Pregnant Photo?

Mona: "Pervert."

No one said anything.

Diego: "Hehe."

Kisa: "Mmm."

Mona: "Well, it will not be so bad."

One hour later.

Mona: "Aaaargh."

Diego: "Ugh."

Charlotte: "Old freak. Is a teacher allowed to explain it like that."

Kisa: "Hmm…"

Kisa blushed and held herself down there.

Kisa: "That was too much for me."

Mona: "Huh."

The moon rose. It was time for Nacht to wake up.

Meanwhile.

The door opened.

Luie: "Hehe."

Bretton: "He stays there."

Luie: "Now we can burn him or throw him out the window. Hehe. Class is over."

(Dong)

Luie: "Huh."

But the coffin door opened slowly.

Luie: "Ugh."

Nacht: "…Urk."

He stepped out slowly, rolling his neck until it cracked.

(Krack)

Nacht: "I see. So it was you."

He stared at them with a cruel look. His eyes, his aura, the aura of darkness.

Bretton: "Ugh…"

Luie: "Ugh…"

Nacht: "Who dares to humiliate me like this. You made a mistake. Now I cannot control my curse."

Shapes appeared behind him and from his body. Mouths and eyes, all dark with white eyes.

Nacht: "Any last words."

Crane: "Hoohoo, hoohoo. Quick. Come."

Mona: "What."

Kisa: "Is something wrong."

Charlotte: "Hmm."

Diego: "What happened."

Crane: "Nacht lost control. When he does, it causes trouble. The ring holds back his curse and his emotions. If it is gone, it is gone. And then there will be problems."

Mona: "And you only say this now."

Crane: "I thought we would find it. Hurry."

They rushed.

Meanwhile.

Luie: "Urk…"

Nacht: "Hahahahahaha."

Bretton: "Brother."

(Splat)

One of the shapes bit Bretton's arm off.

Luie: "No."

Nacht: "Hehehe. How does it feel. That is what happens when you meddle in other people's business."

Nacht's body started to fall apart. His skin peeled, his eyes looked wrong, his form twisted.

Nacht: "You should know. I am almost immortal because of the curse, but my body still ages and every year some organs have to be replaced."

The door opened.

Diego: "Nacht, stop."

Nacht: "Don't interfere. They deserve it. I will kill them."

Mona: "Stop. Let them go."

Nacht: "Forget it. I will kill them."

Kisa grabbed his cheeks.

Kisa: "Stop."

Nacht: "Ugh…"

Kisa: "It's okay, Nacht. It's okay."

Nacht: "Ugh…"

Mona: "Now. Take the ring from them and put it on his finger."

Diego ran, grabbed the ring, and quickly put it on Nacht's finger. Nacht calmed down.

Nacht: "Ugh…"

Kisa: "Shhh. It's okay."

He dropped to his knees.

Nacht: "What happened."

Kisa: "Shhh. It's okay."

Kisa pulled his head to her chest and stroked his hair.

Kisa: "Shhh. It's okay."

Kisa smiled softly.

Diego: "Huh."

Mona: "That was close."

Charlotte: "So what do we do with those two."

Diego: "Good question."

Charlotte: "I think we should kill them. They saw too much. They will tell the teachers."

Charlotte had a point. The two had seen it and that could be dangerous for Nacht.

Charlotte: "Or I take them somewhere and traumatize them enough so they won't talk."

Luie: "What are you going to do."

Charlotte took off her hat. Hands appeared and grabbed the two, pulling them inside.

Diego: "Ugh…"

Charlotte: "I will be back in a minute."

She jumped in.

Luie: "Ugh…"

They were in another world.

Charlotte: "Hello, you two. Welcome to the Fairy Tale Forest. I'm sure you're wondering what I'm doing to you. That depends on you. If you do what I want, you live."

Luie: "Ugh…"

Charlotte: "First. I guess you want the rest of this."

Herold threw out Sebastian's remains.

Luie: "Ugh…"

Charlotte: "Yep. I killed your best friend. Surprised. It wasn't Nacht."

Luie: "Huh…"

Charlotte: "Now listen. Especially you. Your brother is unconscious from blood loss and will die anyway. But there is a way to save him, under one condition."

Luie: "And I agree."

Luie nodded.

Charlotte: "You will tell no one what happened, what was seen. To make sure, I will show you what will happen to you if you break the promise."

She showed him what happened to Sebastian.

Charlotte: "Hehe."

Luie: "Urk… hahh…"

Charlotte: "Want a sample."

Luie: "No."

Charlotte: "Oh yes. Don't worry, I won't kill you. Come on, boys and girls, show him what you can do."

Then the forest began to sing.

"One, two, three."

"Welcome to the Fairy Tale Forest."

"No reason to tremble."

"You tremble like you saw a ghost."

"But we are not ghosts. We are fairy tales."

"No reason to tremble. You have entered a fairy tale."

"This fairy tale can be kind or evil. You decide."

"We can help you."

"But if you anger us, we will kill you. Lala."

"We are the fairy tales. We are the fairy tales of the Fairy Tale Forest. Our lady Alice."

"She is our witch and she protects us from evil."

Charlotte: "No need to worry. This is the Fairy Tale Forest."

"You should not attack us."

Charlotte: "Because we can also be cruel."

Charlotte and the forest beings: "This is the Fairy Tale Forest. A place that can be peaceful, but also evil. We are fairy tales, and you are in the Fairy Tale Forest."

Charlotte: "No reason to be afraid."

"We are very kind beings."

Charlotte: "Unless you make us angry."

"Then we tear you apart, flesh and skin."

Charlotte: "Because this is the forest of Alice."

"The witch of the Fairy Tale Forest."

Luie: "Okay, okay. Stop singing. I promise I will do nothing."

Charlotte: "Oh, we barely even started the song. But fine."

(Step) (Step)

Someone approached.

Charlotte: "There you are."

It was a woman with long black hair and an outfit. Her eyes were green.

Alice: "It has been a long time, Charlotte."

Charlotte: "Mhm. Hello, Aunt Alice."

Alice: "Hmm. It seems there has been unrest lately."

Charlotte: "Can you heal the boy's arm."

Alice: "Hmm. Is the arm still here."

Charlotte: "Yes. Here."

Charlotte handed her the arm. Alice placed it against Bretton's torn side.

Bretton: "Ow."

Then Alice held his cheeks. She took a fairy. The fairy kissed the wound and it healed.

Alice: "That is how fairies are used."

Bretton looked at the fairy. She smiled at him.

Fairy: "Hehe. Hello."

Her cheeks were red. Bretton said nothing.

Alice: "Good."

Charlotte: "So that is done. We can go."

Alice: "Mhm."

Charlotte grabbed the two, jumped onto her hat, and it carried them back.

Charlotte: "Alright. It is over. Do not break the promise."

Luie: "Ghhh…"

Bretton: "Hmm…"

Charlotte: "Hehe."

A few minutes later.

Kisa was taking care of Nacht, who was still in shock.

Nacht: "Ah… I remember now. Damn, I went too far."

Kisa: "It's okay."

Nacht: "Thank you, Kisa."

Kisa: "Hehe."

Diego: "Be careful next time."

Mona: "He's right. You were lucky those two did not know about the moon thing. Otherwise you would be active at night like a bat."

Nacht: "Yes, you're right. Did I miss anything in class."
