Chapter 2 - Prince Lucifer & The Curse (Part 2)

It was a quiet night as Prince Lucifer and His demons took to the skies as they were on their way to the The Quiet Silverbell Forest, to retrieve the mythical flowers, The Needle Ice and the Frost Flowers.

Luke, Prince Lucifer's trusty steed and Pegasus, was flying with all of his might as they flew past the outskirts of the kingdom of Gehenna and into the moonlit sky.

Prince Lucifer was searching high and low, looking for this so-called Quiet Silverbell Forest. He remained vigilant, looking at His map.

"Where is the Quiet Silverbell Forest?" He asked Himself.

"Maybe we're lost, Your Majesty," One of his demons said, a snake.

Prince Lucifer hissed. "No, we're just going slow."

Prince Lucifer whipped Luke, yelling, "Go faster, Luke!"

Luke obeyed and with that, the coach carriage flew into the sky with acceleration.

By the time it was midnight, Luke spotted a deep, dense forest and then, he heard a soft, melodious sound of bells ringing and he glimpsed at a soft bright white light glowing.

"There", Prince Lucifer said, pointing down at the sounds of the bells. "That must be the Quiet Silverbell Forest." "Luke, please take us down there."

Luke obeyed and they came down to stop at the Quiet Silverbell Forest.

The Quiet Silverbell Forest, hence its name, was a magical deep forest, home to mythical, mystical and magical flowers and creatures where they live and thrive.

The trees were dark green, growing silverbells that rang throughout the forest, warning the dangers of evil and darkness brewing.

As Prince Lucifer and His demons entered the forest, the soft, white bright light appeared before them and it revealed a small fairy with wings, a wand and a little white flower in its hair.

Once the fairy saw Prince Lucifer, she gasped and said, "Hello, welcome to the Quiet Silverbell Forest. I'm Heaven, the protector and guardian of the forest and I'm also a Light Fairy."

Prince Lucifer, hiding His evil interior heart and pretending to be kind and sweet, took a bow and said warmly, "Hello Heaven, the Light Fairy, I'm Prince Lucifer of Gehenna and these are my friends."

The demons waved hello to Heaven and then Prince Lucifer continued, "This is a wonderful place; could you possibly give us a tour?"

Heaven giggled and then she said, friendly, "Of course, follow me."

Leaving a trail of white fairy dust, Heaven showed Prince Lucifer and His "friends" a tour of the Quiet Silverbell Forest and let me give you guys a tour of the forest as well.

The Quiet Silverbell Forest is a magical forest where it's a home to various mystical creatures and flowers, where magic is connected between different lands and kingdoms.

Álfheimr: a home where dwell the peoples called ljósálfar [Light Elves]; but the dökkálfar [Dark Elves] dwell down in the earth, and they are unlike in appearance, but by far more unlike in nature. The Light-elves are fairer to look upon than the sun, but the Dark-elves are blacker than pitch.

Ljósfaeheim: a home where the Light Faries dwell and they possess white magic that gives them the power to do good deeds and help the forest.

Norðrfaeheimr: a home where the Aurora Fairies dwell and they use their magic from the norðrljós (Northern Lights) to guide the visitors and inhabitants to safety throughout the Quiet Silverbell Forest.

Sútvǫllr: a home where there's an eternal winter every year in the Quiet Silverbell Forest and where the Sútvǫlfae, also called, the Winter Fairies use their cryokinetic magic to create a winter wonderland for children to play and build snow animals, make snow angels, go sledding, build igloos and go ice skating.

Jötunn hellir: a home where the Jotunn, the Trolls, dwell in a cave throughout the forest. They're kind, helpful creatures who possess white magic including healing magic to help the inhabitants of the forest.

Heaven led Prince Lucifer to the other part of the Quiet Silverbell Forest, the Everfrost Garden.

Heaven giggled and said, "This is the "The Everfrost Garden", where the Winter Fairies protect the most magical flowers and plants in the entire forest."

Prince Lucifer was intrigued, smiling evilly. "Could you tell me more about the magical flowers and plants?" He asked, in a curious manner.

Heaven, who was naive, replied, "Sure," she pointed to the first flower, "This is the Needle Ice Flower, which is a powerful flower that has cryokinectic magic powers and if you touch the flower, it gives you the power to make your hands and heart turn cold as ice and it makes them numb and bleed to death. Once then, the Needle Ice also has dark, evil magic that has the power to turn you into a mean, cruel person, once the effect of the flower reached its full potential."

Prince Lucifer thought to Himself, 'This is the flower that I have been searching for.' Then He said, "Does the Needle Ice Flower also make you sick once you're fully affected by its magic?"

Heaven nodded her head. "Yes," she said. "Legend says that once your hands and heart are cold as ice and your mean spirit starts to fully develop, you start to feel sick, from the source of the Needle Ice's dark magic."

Prince Lucifer chuckles, "Excellent, this flower is exactly what I need."

Heaven obliviously said, "Huh?"

To add her confusion, Prince Lucifer revealed His true colors; He had an evil smile on His face and He pulled out His magic wand and by using witchcraft, the evil sorceror casted an evil spell upon the innocent Heaven and caused her to freeze her small, fragile body with spikes of ice.

Using this as an advantage, Prince Lucifer walked slowly past the frozen Light Fairy and gently grabbed the Needle Ice flower from its spot, the magic still growing even when it was picked. The notorious Prince Lucifer cackled evilly as He successfully grabbed the magical flower and said, "My demon friends, we have successfully found the Needle Ice Flower, and now we're going to use this and the Frost Flowers to put our plan into action."

Prince Lucifer puts the magical Needle Ice Flower in a flower pot and quickly grabs the Frost Flowers and absconds with them, running gleefully into His coach carriage, where Luke was enjoying His peaceful nap. Luke's nap was suddenly interrupted when Lucifer said, "Luke, we have found the magical flowers. Now, please take us up to the night sky and escort us to our next destination: the kingdom Of Alta."

Luke jolted awake and obeyed His Master as He and His demons climbed onboard into the carriage and Luke began to lift up from the ground and started to soar. Once they were out of the Quiet Silverbell Forest and into the night sky, Prince Lucifer felt triumphant as He ignored the silverbells ringing from the forest, as it had signaled the inhabitants of great danger and it warned them that Prince Lucifer has stolen the most magical flowers in the entire forest and He is going to use them for evil means.

The inhabitants of the forest, including the Light Fairies and the Aurora Fairies gathered around and scattered across the forest, telling the creatures to go safely to their homes and take shelter and hide, foreshadowing that the Needle Ice Flower and Frost Flowers are in the wrong hands and who knows what the Prince Of Gehenna is going to do with them.

During the rest of the night, the Quiet Silverbell Forest was tranquil and still, as the creatures were in their homes, cowering in fear when the brave Light Fairies and Aurora Fairies reassured them that things will be better and then using their magic, they created a magical forcefield and a door to guard the forest from future intruders from going into the forest and harming their precious home.

Meanwhile, in the night sky, the Aurora Borealis, also known as, The Northern Lights, were shining its blue and green lights while the Aurora Fairies were using magic to guide themselves through the night while they were flying.

Prince Lucifer chuckled evilly to His companions, as He held the Needle Ice Flower in a flower pot in His hands. "We'd did it, my demonic friends," He said triumphantly. "We have the Needle Ice Flower and the Frost Flowers, so now we can execute our plan to curse our first kingdom."

"How are we going to do that, Your Majesty?" one of the imps asked, a crow.

Prince Lucifer thought for a moment. 'How?' He looked at the Needle Ice Flower and the Frost Flowers and then He looked down below, thinking of an idea.

In that moment, Prince Lucifer had a brilliant idea.

"I know what we'll do," He said to His friends.

Let me tell you Prince Lucifer's plan: He wants to spread evil throughout a kingdom with magical flowers, so He told Luke to stop mid-air, He grabbed the Needle Ice Flowers' petal that was shaped like a needle and with the magic growing, a spark of light glowed and He threw the needle-shaped petal in the middle of the night sky and it flew into the sky and when Prince Lucifer picked each petal from the flower and the stem and leaves and threw it into the sky, a magical bright light sparkled and glowed, as the Needle Ice Flower scattered around the Earth like wildfire, the magic began to spread.

When Prince Lucifer saw what He did, His blue eyes turned golden and red, revealing His true nature; a magical aura of evil appeared before Him, He sprouted red wings on His back, two red horns appeared on top of His head, His teeth turned sharp, white, and pointy, He carried a magical red staff and His ears turned red. After his transformation, He grabbed the Frost Flowers and threw them into the middle of the night sky, just like the Needle Ice Flower and the Frost Flowers's snowflake shaped petals and leaves spreaded across Earth and then a magical blue light started to glow and the snowflake-shaped petals and leaves turned into snow flurries and blue ice crystals and scattered around across the first kingdom: the kingdom of Alta.

Once His companions saw what He did, an imp, which was a raven, asked, "What do we do now, Your Majesty?"

Prince Lucifer laughed and said, "Now, we must go home and gloat our victory and then, we shall wait and see what our plan will be next."

Luke turned around and flew back to the kingdom of Gehenna and once they returned to home, the castle was quiet and calm.

Then, as Prince Lucifer went to His bedroom, He turned back into His normal self and He jumped on His bed and turned off his light using his magic wand and He got comfy, covering Himself with the blankets and turned to look at his bedroom window. As He looked at the window, He saw that the Aurora Borealis was dancing and shimmering in the night.

Wolfy, Lucifer's pet werewolf, was barking and raced to His room and jumped on the bed and licked Lucifer on His face.

Lucifer was a little soft, saying, "Hi Wolfy, who's a good dog, who's a good dog?" After the affection, Lucifer was back to His evil self when He said, "Ok, ok, Wolfy, time for bed."

Wolfy stopped licking and yawned. He got comfy and pat the blankets on the bed to make room and then he yawned and fell asleep, dreaming of chasing demonic squirrels.

When it was time for Lucifer to go to sleep, He grabbed His wand and puts it in His wand case and places it on His nightstand.

Then He laid His head on the pillows, closed His eyes and gently went to sleep for the night, knowing that His first plan worked and waited until tomorrow to execute his next plan.

What will Lucifer's next plan will be?

What will happen to the Quiet Silverbell Forest and its innocnet creatures?

What is going to happen once the magical Needle Ice and Frost Flowers spread across the kingdoms and use its magic to create evil?

Where will the Needle Ice and Frost Flowers spread its magic first?

Who will we meet first in the kingdom of Alta?
