in the western forest our dynamic duo was currently running for their lives. to their supprise they had found a whole field of the lilies enough to pay the toll and then some, but while picking the flowers the owner of the flower field was very unhappy. a lesser fairy had taken a liking to the flowers and enraged by the 2 pepole who dared to take what was theirs it began to charge the 2. small blue circles flared to life around the fairy shooting forth bolts of water that struck the ground around them. the water bolts left gaping holes in the ground if they were hit in a vital area they would be goners. "oh no no no I'm too young to dieee!" Donald wailed like a little girl as he dragged Arieta along in a zig zag pattern through the winding forest. back and forth they went as he thought up a plan to get out of this mess."okay the fairy doesn't seem too tough to kill but the problem is with its ranged attacks could take us out in a heartbeat." his words put a scarred look on Arieta's face.
"Donald are we gonna die to a stupid fairy quackkk!"Arieta stuttered out with a worried voice.
" were not just focu-"he was quickly cut off as he suddenly lept backwards pulling arieta with him as a whatee spear glanced past his face." faster one mistep and were gonna sleep forever!" he broke into a sprint as a idea so absurd that it might just work formed in his head." it's a water fairy right that means it's weak to the earth element all we need to do is Barry it alive and it'll just go poof right!?"
"I umm quack think so it's a lesser fairy so that .ight be enough to kill it quack." Arieta let the words fall out in a hurry as their pace picked up.
"okay I need you to trust me. on the count of three we are going to split up. I need you to take these rocks and throw them at it to draw its aggro." Arieta became more terrified by the second as she heard his plan to turn her into fairy bait.he dropped a handful of rocks into her wings while she had a blank look on her face." I need you to buy me some time to set a trap godspeed my lovely angel!"
she looked at him like he was a madman" oh my Quack your serious!!"
"yep now up and atem 3 2 1 GOOO!" He shouted giving her a hearty slap on the back as she started running while pelting the fairy with stones. just as he planned it started chasing Arieta as he began to get to work. he found a spot below 2 hefty trees about a foot or 2 across and quickly began digging a pit while he packed down the excess dirt like a giant plate in the branches above. his plan was to cut the branches and drop the dirt atop the fairy encasing it within the dirt to Barry it to death in one quick motion. after 5 minutes he had completed the trap and shouted into the distance" Arieta come back I'm just south of the flower field!" Arieta spared not a second more she had a few grazes and the occasional scratch from the lesser fairy but no major injuries. he came sprinting down the flower field spotting Donald in the distance.
"DONALD Quack! save Meee!!!" she wailed as she ran back and forth towards the trap.
"5.. 4.. 3.. 2... 1..." Arieta made a massive leap over the pit with a flutter of her now empty wings. he swiftly caught her and dragged her out of the traps line of fire. with a loud bellow he shouted "NOW" as he cut the branches holding the dirt in place. the hundred pounds of dirt and rock collapsing onto the fairy. with a massive splat it impacted the fairy and buried it 6ft below.
they heard some dying squeals as a final croak resounded out as the fairy bit it's last. suddenly a flash of blue shot put of the ground and hit Donald's chest throwing the unprepared man back a few steps." What was that?" he wondered as he heard a loud call in his head like a monstrous quaking as he felt the strange energy fade away from his body as if devoured by something.
suddenly he heard a blood curdling shreek as if someone was being shread apart. it came from Arieta for she had seen what had just happened filled with terror she cried out like she was about to be eaten by a monster." Don't eat me pleas QUACK!! monster no DEMON Quack! I don't wanna die quack spare meee!" she wailed and cried as if Donald was an abomination.
he was taken aback by her sudden outburst "what do you mean it's me??" he asked her trying to get closer to calm her down but she just scuttled back further.
"devourer monster QUACK!!"she scuttled backwards in a hurry trying to get away falling over herself in fear unable to move more than a few feet in terror. she wanted to run like the wind but her body din not listen. she screamed and shouted with eyes of horor as she had seen the vistage of Donald's true self. he was not human, of that she was certain the vistage of a looming beast had appeared around Donald as he killed the fairy. like a beast let our of its cage it clawed itself out of his body to greedily devour the fairy's essence. a beastly duck coated with patches of scales and fethers of prestine platinum. 5 heads with necks that stretched out into the air had colapsed on the fairy's soul. their duck bills gnashing with countless teeth that grimded the soul to dust before eagerly slurping it down. and as quickly as it had occurred it nestled itself back within Donald's body the 'man' none the wiser of what had just happened. he just felt a strange energy suddenly fly into him and digest in his stomach. he felt a little better afterwards but mostly not different so he could not understand the terror in her eyes.
as if looking at the vistage of an eldrich horror she screamed till her voice croaked out and she passed out knocked unconscious in terror. worried about the sudden scream attracted unwanted attention he lightly picked up Arieta in a princess carry rushing towards the city. the almost 40 water lilies were stuffed in his pockets and in his hands as he rushed into the town. the gard was alerted by the woman's state and quickly exchanged the flowers handing him the excess 40 coppers and pointing him in the direction of an inn. after handing 10 out to a lady dressed in maid attire sitting at the front desk he was handed the key to his room." thank you miss I need to take her to rest." He played off her condition as if she was tired and laid her down on one of the two beds in the room." Arieta I don't know what happened but please wake up. this is my fault and I don't know why!!" he cried and sobbed into the sheets of her bedside as he sat rooted in place waiting to make sure his angel was safe.
