Hello one and all! How's it going, good?
Well, I've got to say that so far I'm drastically behind in my word count and my school work so I hope I'll be able to catch up soon. Here's a really bad excerpt from the story so far:
"I have to say, I'm surprised at you, King Stefan. Not inviting one of you most loyal friends and subjects?"
Her voice vibrated through the air, making his head swim and his thoughts jumble. The woman standing before him was tall. A giant even, nine feet tall, dressed in regal black and purple robes that billowed off of her like a waterfall. Her head was adorned with thick horns, curled up towards the middle of her head some feet above it, like some sick devil ears masquerading as Valentine's day presents. Her skin was a pale, putrid green, her face narrow set on her body.
"That was a joke of course. If one thing's for sure, I am not your subject,"
They knew her name. They all did. But no one dared say it.
"I can't be," the muttered.
"What misfortune..."
Stefan was at a loss for words. Everyone was terrified. He looked towards Leah and Aurora, who had successfully managed to flee to an unsuspecting corner.
"What are you doing here, Maleficent?"
Her name caused the thunder clouds to roar. The corners of her lips twisted into a vile sort of upside down frown in a way only pure evil could delight in. "Why, I'm here to bless the beautiful baby, Princess Aurora, heir to the throne of Aubellin. I must say, what grand festivities you're holding here today. Reminds me of the old days..."
"You're not welcome here!" a flash of blue and Merriweather, in her three foot glory was flying eye level with the Mistress of Evil. Flora and Fauna were ushering her to come down but she took no notice.
"Oh. Oh my, 'not welcome'? Oh, I do apologize deeply for this inconvenience. However, I did hear Rune would be in the area." She made a show of looking around. "But what's this? Whatever happened to the good and just Verity? His flight get cancelled? Perhaps he clipped a wing. Anyways, look who the cat dragged in instead, the three lowest fairies of his cohort that can't even complete a simple colour change spell." Maleficent's dark eyes flashed upwards to reveal the banners still at war between blue and pink. Then they returned to settle on Merriweather. "Don't tell me where I'm not welcome. I'm never welcome."
Just a reminder, it's completely unedited...
Oh well, I liked this scene, hope you enjoyed it!
