After the whole welcome back don't mind the dead bodies greetings we walked (in my case I flew while the twins complained about their legs hurting while eating almost anything that came in their sight)
The Gingerbread men were a part of the 'resistance against the bugs ' group thanks to their vigilance the place was currently still sweet and fly-free
he first thing that hit me was a scene of desolation and
"This what .....is this" I looked in horror at the place that was once Sweetopia
the platforms, once sturdy biscuits and chocolate bars, now crumble and torn up in pieces . The walls and landscapes, once towering cakes and confectionery wonders, now sag and melt their once smooth surfaces pockmarked and scarred by acidic slime.
The rivers, once flowing streams of juice, now stagnant pools choked with debris and filth.
To welcome new players, both sides of the slope leading to the city used to be filled with dazzling, flowering jelly flowers but now
The slope was bare with only coca mud
My mind was certainly preparing for this but seeing it with my own eyes though
"the stench of decay...."Ultear shivered as we walked through the ruins
"Your highness in here " a gingerbread man opened a chocolate covered cracker trap door
In side was a tunnel supported by candy canes,glowing honey lamps
We were led to a room with a ton of maps(made of thin pastry dough with different fruit jams as colours for drawing the map) and were made to sit in there on Licorice chairs and table made from twisted strands of licorice woven together to form a sturdy yet flexible surface.
"..."
"..."
"If you both have something to ask me you can say it "
"You...are you really an Ainhadt ?" Urteal asked
"Yes"
"Why did they call you the princess of dreams ?"
"Because I am the rules of all dreams including this land "
"This is a dream
"No this is the place where dreams come true take the land of sweets for example...it was born from the wish of children who wish to have a place filled with sweets "
"So if someone had a wish to become a king then..."Siegurd asked me
"It will be made true if ...I ... "
I paused as I realised something opening my palms I conjured up a ball of rock
It was hard to touch and felt heavy but my hands just passed through it
"I figured so" I muttered under my breath
"What ?"
"I have lost my powers "
"W what do you mean by that?"
"My power is what allows me to change dreams to reality...break the lines between illusions and reality "
"You... that's impossible there"
We were interrupted by the arrival of the commander in charge
a Doughppelganger named Fluffy
Standing at just the height of a child, Doughppelganger are crafted entirely from a pliable, golden dough, reminiscent of freshly baked bread their body shimmers from being coated in a delicate glaze. Large, expressive eyes made of shimmering sugar beads peer out from beneath a mane of spun caramel strands,
Their limbs are soft and supple, capable of bending and contorting in ways that seem almost impossible. And though it lacks a distinct scent of its own, it carries with it the aroma of whatever sweet treat it has most recently mimicked.
Fluffy appeared in front of us changing between a cookie man with marshmallow teeth and cotton candy hair and a rainbow gummy bear
"I greet the princess of dreams,lady of illusions,Giant-slayer and the king of lies "
"To be honest I really did not believe in the prophecy but again I was very -"
"Yes nice to know tell me where Beelzebub is "
Fluffy transformed into a Peppermint Pixie [1] as he blubbered spilling soda from his mouth
"B-but you highness we are to escort you to the food court and...."
"I am the princess of dreams the ruler of all dreams under (and above ) the sky,land and sea I am ordering you to speak "
Sometimes being high and mighty gets your work done faster
"Who's Belzeub ?"
"A demon king who looks like a big ugly creepy fly" I answered while trying to organise my thoughts
This was bad no this was the worst case scenario
Originally the land of sweets was created as a mean of feeding the giant Geryon who was killed (by me alone in a solo boss fight ) before he could eat Sweetopia
Now as there are dreams there must also exists nightmares which appear in the form of devils
There are two types of devils devils of desires the tempters who are born from the desires of mortals like the perfect guy devil or the erotic sex devil
Then there are devils born from the fears of mortals like a giant lizard devil or the chainsaw devil
The 10 demon king are those devils who are both freared and desired by all making them the most powerful
Apart from the seven deadly sins the devils of falsehood,fear and melancholy together form the ten kings
Beelzebub,The lord of flies he is the Demon King of Gluttony who wears an eternal halo of flies.Everywhere he goes,carrion-bugs of all types flock around him like pilgrims of damnation
Beelzebub is the worst possible match for a entire Kingdom made of food (the land of sweets was only one part of this large kingdom)
Unfortunately it's creations are always vicious, brutal creatures, taking no pleasure in anything except eating. If no food is available, due to their gluttonous nature they'll eat each other so in that sense they make an horrible uncoordinated army which is a good thing otherwise the whole kingdom of food would have been wiped off the map(the kingdom of food is slightly larger than Asia, Europe and Africa combined heck the land of sweets is as large as the continent Australia)
"The lord of flies is holed up in laddoo mountains but my lady going there is suicide the files will eat anything that steps in their not even crumbs will be left !!"
"Good now I am going " I flew up
Now that I know where the hive is it's time for a pest extermination
