First Story
Which Deals with a Mirror and its Fragments
...
The world lay at peace. Mother nature blooms its flowers on the ground as bright, big and beautiful as any had seen in a long time. Green trees stretch to the heavenly sky where little baby angels dance with one another among the white fluffy clouds. The sky itself is a deep clear blue and the sun happily shines its rays across the country and radiating heat so warm. A giant cloud floats by then and again and with a big huff, it blows a gust of wind down to the people, so the sun doesn't make it too hot. It is not too hot nor too cold, just right. Rivers flow down the valleys with fish leaping out the water with joy and splashing as it dives back in. This is perfection. This is the world at peace.
In the distance, a strong mountain stands. The rocks on it are old and merged with each other. Sturdy and strong. Nothing could break it. The Sun who ruled the world at day grew tired. His flame began to slowly burn out. Heat is lost, and light is drifting away. The Sun travels across the sky till it sets right behind the mountain. A dark and magnificent lady swept across the sky, pulling away the light blue and covering the sky with a dark black blanket.
Out of nowhere, on a cloud floating near the mountain, a beautiful slender woman in all shades of silver and white makes an appearance. Her hair is tied in a bun and a little dear named Bambi stands by her side. Clapping her hands, a bow grows long and putting her an arm behind her back, she drew an arrow with a burning bright flame on its tip. Steadily, she places the arrow into the bow and aims high to the dark blanket. With one pull, the arrow shoots up like a shooting star leaving little sparks to fill the sky. The woman then places the bow in two hands and raises it above her head. With a bright white light, the woman becomes a big white sphere floating through the sky; the Sun's wife. The Moon.
Everything lay in harmony. The wind hushes through, swaying the trees and whistling through the tall green grass. Everything slept except the fairies from Pixie Hollow who use this moment to fly high and dance around the water. Tiny ripples grew larger and larger as it fans out from the little initial point where a fairy places their foot. This is perfection. This is the world at peace.
Things did not last this way for on top of the assuming mountain, an arm wrestles out from inside. Hot steam arises as the body pulls itself out of the actual volcano. The demon's eyes burn like fire; his huge bat wings stretch out. Rocks crumble and break free from one another and tumbled its way down to the bottom of the now active volcano. Lava spew from under the monstrous creature with flames erupting too. The monster, Chernabog, looks down at the world is disgust. All around everything is as perfect as heaven.
Hippos dancing with Alligators, Ostriches too. Centaurs in love with one another and calmly lying under trees, by rivers and in meadows. Baby angels sleep soundly in the clouds. The look of it all made Chernabog gag and feel sick. He bellows a huge roar from hell to all around. Echoes made its way round the world, bouncing off every cave and every mountain till everyone he was calling for heard and journey their way to where Chernabog stood.
Along the water where the fairies dance up, a ship silently sailed in through the fog. This is no ordinary ship. This is a pirate ship run by the cunning Captain Hook. With his large hook on his left hand he strokes at his standing moustache and spits into the water.
"Filthy scum." he announces.
Under that same water, black ink grew thick and a laugh bellows around as Ursula, the sea-witch, lifts herself out of the ground with her giant tentacles.
"Well, let us have a party!" bellowed she.
A horse and carriage came from the distance. The man he drove the horse is no other than the handsome Gaston. Inside the carriage were the three beautifully evil ladies; Mother Gothel, Lady Tremaine and Queen Grimhilde.
"Gosh," sighs Mother Gothel climbing out of the carriage. "That trip takes years off my skin."
"Why bother being beautiful yourself when you can have beautiful daughters to get what you want?" Lady Tremaine followed behind.
"Please grandma, I don't want to turn out like you and let some other brat take over what I can do myself."
"Gothel, though you have a valid point you will never become as beautiful as me." Queen Grimhilde spoke finely.
"Please ladies not one of you are beautiful otherwise, I would have married you." Gaston strides behind them, walking proudly with every step he took.
The four bicker among each other till they reach the mountain.
On a mountain near by the mountain stood a beautiful and wondrous Cathedral where Lord Frollo places his hat upon his bald head and walks with dignity to the mountain.
Shadows from the other side wail and run through across the land till they too reach the bottom of the mountain, where they group together becoming one. Their figure changes into a long stringy man with a large hat and stick. He pulls himself out of the darkness as Doctor Facilier.
"Hello my friends." Doctor Facilier takes his hat off and mockingly bows down to his fellow villains.
"Shadow Man." Mother Gothel folds her arms with a dark glare at him.
"Oh come now. Surely you don't want to make a deal. A deal to be young forever." He whispers the last part.
"No. No, I don't!"
"Fine by me." In his hand, a deck of cards facing down appears. He flicks through them all and plays tricks having them move around his shoulders and into his other hand. Finally, the Shadow Man flicks the deck and up pops a card. Lifting it up is the Queen of Hearts. Softly blowing onto it, clouds of purple smoke form from it and the Queen of Hearts appears herself.
"OFF WITH HER HEAD!" Is the first thing she says.
"Witchcraft!" Frollo points with fearful eyes. "You must burn in hell you demon."
"Hey, how's it hanging?" pops up Hades beside Frollo.
They all stood quietly but Chernabog only folded his muscular arms still waiting on the remaining few Disney villains. It all fell silent and they stood in a straight line. They heard rustling in the trees behind them. They all turn and look up as a huge man with black and gold eyes hung upside down on a branch face to face with Gaston.
"Boo." The hun jumps off the tree onto his two giant feet.
"Shan Yu!" Hades blasts a fire thumbs up. "What's shaking baby?"
Last but not least, Maleficent appears. A green light travels through the sleeping countryside and a big green flame blasts off leaving only she behind.
"You forgot to invite me!" She clarified to her fellow villains.
"Oh, you poor unfortunate soul." Ursula shows little sympathy.
Chernabog let out another frightful roar catching all their attention. They all gaze up to the devil as he uses his claws to grasp into the lava. After a few minutes, Chernabog drew up a large object. Lava runs off it, leaving it glowing red as if it was a point of a burning hot poker. Chernabog, with little effort, threw the object into the river below.
They villains, using all their might, pull up the object with rope. On the other end is a large oval mirror with a rock-hard frame decorated with gold snakes eating their own tales on the top half and a gold band on the bottom half. On the very top of the mirror is a gold crown. The reflection is clear but after a few seconds of admiring its work, a face like a mask appears. Green with no eyes and red lips with smoke from behind it is.
"Beautiful..." Queen Grimhilde gasps.
Chernabog points out into the distance roars a final time before sinking into the volcano; flames die out and the lava cools down, leaving rocks once again fused together.
...
The perfect night is no longer perfect. The world no longer lay in peace. Each villain took the mirror showing it off to the world, driving people insane with its evilness. Captain Hook took it first and showed it to every single child. The evilness inside each childs' heart reflected back to them in the mirror. Their faces were distorted and eaten alive by maggots; their skin flaked off to show raw flesh underneath. Every child's nightmare.
Ursula took it down under showing it off to the mermaids who investigate it. seeing themselves as nothing more than weeds that wriggle like worms.
Gaston uses the mirror to show young men who were more handsome than he the beast that lay inside them. Horns grew and teeth sharp as razors and claws form on their body. Their own body changes and fur grows out of them all. Their anger got the best of them and they began to smash everything in sight.
Mother Gothel and Lady Tremaine, when their turn came showed all the young pretty girls their reflection. Their hair turned white and their eyes grew black bags. They had old wrinkly white skin and rotten, if not none, teeth. This image reflecting their darkness on them drive them to start ripping out their own hair and screaming in fear.
Lord Frollo showed it to all that their inner sin burns brightly as hell's fire. Their own reflection of their own souls tortured by hell itself made most of the people hide away from day and night with only themselves where they wouldn't eat, drink or go the bathroom. They tuck their legs up into their arms and rock themselves forwards and backwards; forwards and backwards.
The Shadow Man use the mirror to show the shadows on the other side. Trees died in their reflection and flowers were strangled by worms. Humans became slimy animals and insects.
The Queen of Hearts when showed to people only saw a headless body with their own corpse head in their hands driving them to drop on the ground unable to react with any of their surroundings.
Hades uses it to show people of the world their mutated souls swimming in a sea of green.
Shan Yu uses the mirror to show each human they are worthless. They have no honour and they betray their family as in their reflection, themselves stood with a sword in hand and their love ones around them. Their clothes tainted with their blood. They'd scream and stab themselves in the mirror which acted up oneself.
Maleficent showed every person the mirror their own deaths which caused chaos and fires all around.
Weeks turn into months of insanity, darkness, fear and pain. Nightmares brew from this mirror as in the mirror it shows the darkness inside the person. Each villain influenced how their dark side is prevented. It just didn't work on people but nature too. An empty dry land of dead trees and insects with dead mangled flowers lay in mother nature's reflection.
Last to get hold of the mirror is Queen Grimhilde. She didn't show anyone the mirror. Not yet. She loves the mirror. She did not want to let it go. Her hand has a tight grasp upon the frame and she peers into her own reflection.
"Am I...the most beautiful?" murmurs she to only the mirror.
"This is not my say, now go and make me slay the innocent minds of a child, and show off its wild." replies the mirror. "If you do not, I shall tell Chernabog you fail and will then begin to make thee wail."
Grimhilde hugs the mirror close to her chest. Never had she loved something so. The beauty that faces her is the most beautiful and she couldn't bare to share it with others and let them see its power for they too will want it. Grimhilde did not listen to the mirror's wise words so the mirror in turn made Grimhilde wail. For when the evil Queen next saw her appearance, it wasn't her. Her pale soft face became saggy and wrinkly with warts and her button nose became a crows beak with warts all over it. Her loving eyes grew large into huge circles with tiny irises inside. Her smile of pearl teeth was no more and replaced with a one hideous block.
Learning her lesson, Grimhilde decides to use the mirror to do the most evil. To show heaven. Zeus as usual held a party with his beautiful wife and Hercules when someone spots Grimhilde using her magic to float up to the sky. Zeus yells and immediately, bolts are heated, shaped and cooled and given to Zeus. Zeus closes one of his huge eyes, trying to get aim, and threw lightning bolts at Grimhilde. At first, he miss a few times and the lightning scared all the centaurs below. After that, Grimhilde managed to dodge every single attack thrown at her. Sparkles flew into the sky and shot into a fork shape and attacks the ground below. Many of the wild life and trees were destroyed into nothing but a black scorch mark and smoke. Grimhilde gets closer and closer to the big golden gates that stands between her and the Gods and Goddesses.
"Now's my chance." she speaks aloud and approaches the golden gates.
As soon as she manages to open them however, a lightning bolt is hit straight at her. With no protection, Grimhilde is force to hold up the mirror. The lightning bolt collides with the mirror. The force of its impact on it pushes Grimhilde out of heaven back to earth. As she fell from heaven to earth, she gazes up at the mirror. The once beautifully evil mirror is now in glass shards- some as small as a grain of sand or even smaller- flying through the air, sprinkling down everywhere in the world like rain!
Grimhilde hit the ground with a thud. A giant crater where she lay form from the fall. Here, Grimhilde wept.
"What have I done?" She sobs.
I don't own any of these characters. They are all Disney villains and this story is not of my own creation but based on the fabulous story The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson.
* I really enjoyed writing this. It was fun writing about the favourite Disney Villains and what not. Yes, I know, I missed a few out which is a shame. Though they are real evil, I didn't add them in because I like to write a chapter between 1,000-3,000 words. I don't write any more than 3,000.
* Hope you like and review xxx until next time
