Before we get started, I want you to know that I wrote this three years ago at the request of my closest friend, having never completed a writing before and with the grammar and capabilities of a 12 year old. Forgive me. Please. This is the first of a series of 8 stories based on the Evillous Chronicles, created by Mothy. You have a long way to go. Now, this thing I generously call a story is not in the canon universe of the Evillous series as it is today. I began it with total misconceptions about its structure and lore. So, this is my own imagination based solely off the original seven songs, plus "Servant of Evil." Yeah, I don't know why you would waste your time with this. Good luck.

1: The Rain Started

The first day of my new job ended with my dress soaking wet and a dead body. That was not the best day of my life.

I woke for the first time in my new home, the royal castle. My room was small, but bigger than what I was used to. The bed next to mine was empty. My roommate, Yuka was already in the servant's hall, where all the maids, footmen, butler, valets, and lady's maid would eat. I hopped out of bed and hustled to put on my new uniform. I pinned my hair up reluctantly, and placed the frilly, laced, black and red hat on my head.

My gold eyes glanced in the mirror next to the door. I loved my hair. It was pale blonde and the tips of the strands slowly became a rainbow of colors. I was born with it. My father thought it was "a sign that I would bring together the lands." He was pretty crazy. The lands were in union that day, but I can swear that it was no thanks to me, Mayu Hidari.

I looked at the clock on the wall, saw the late time, and swung out the door towards the servant's hall. Dodging two maids and a valet, I arrived at the hall and plopped down next to Yuka at the middle of the table.

"Oi, why didn't you wake me up?" I questioned Yuka. She turned and smiled at my makeshift hairdo.

"Because I wanted to see your hair when you only had five minutes to pamper it." She laughed. "And I am satisfied with the result." I pushed her and she pushed me back.

Yuzuki Yukari was my best friend since I was seven. She had light purple hair and eyes. We went to the same schools, including training to become servants in the land of purple. Most people had purple hair there, but it wasn't a big deal having my unique hair, unlike in the land of green. Yuka basically lived at my house until training. After that, we couldn't get hired at the same residence, so we didn't. I worked for a countess in the land of yellow while she got a job at the royal palace. We wrote to each other every week for a year until she said the queen's lady's maid died of a heart attack, and she needed a new one. The queen's name was Linda, and the king, Reginald, died weeks before of a rare disease. There was rumors that Queen Linda caught the illness, and Yuka told me that they were true, but she had more than a month to live. Being the trustworthy person Yuka is, the queen listened to her recommendation of me, and I hopped on the next train to the capital.

We hurriedly finished breakfast, and I rushed to my new employer's bedroom to dress her as Yuka, being a maid, began to clean the castle. The royal palace was the largest building I had ever been in. It was ten floors high with turrets stretching even higher and a basement down below. The castle inside and out were filled with ornate carvings all along the walls. The halls were filled with one-of-a-kind paintings and sculptures.

I made my way through the maze of hallways to the tenth floor. I ran to Queen Linda's room as fast as possible, opening the huge wooden doors. The queen's daughter, Rin, was kneeling next to her bed as I came in. I would be Rin's lady's maid after Queen Linda died. Until then, she was dressed by her nanny because she was only 13. I knocked the open door, and Rin looked up. Her eyes were filled with tears.

"Call the nurse! Call the nurse! She's dying! GO!" Rin screamed and waved her arms. In a moment of shock, I turned around and darted out the door. I started to hear drips on the roof as rain began to fall. I still heard Rin sobbing as I ran into an older woman wearing a plain pale blue dress and apron in the hallway.

"Where's Her Majesty's nurse!" I yelled at the woman.

"I am she. What is the problem? Is that lady Rin crying?" The nurse asked, staring in the direction of the queen's room.

"Y-yes. There's something wrong!" Without another word, the nurse rushed to Queen Linda's side and took out a thermometer.

"Lady Rin, how long has she been like this?" the nurse asked.

"Ju-just a few minutes. Clarice, is she going to be alright?" Rin stuttered.

"You! Who are you?" the woman, Clarice, asked.

I responded in a panicked voice, "I'm Mayu. I'm the new lady's maid."

"Run and call Doctor Suzune."

"Yes, ma'am!"

I skidded to a stop at a passing servant and asked where Doctor Suzune worked. She said that it was the second building to the right outside the palace gates. It was now pouring rain and my uniform was completely soaked. I raced through the grand entrance, the main gates, and a crowd of curious people. I nearly knocked down the door to her office.

"Are you Doctor Suzune?" I panted.

A girl that had light blue, nearly white hair sitting at her desk glanced up at me, automatically. "Yes. Who are you?"

"I'm Mayu, I work at the palace. Queen Linda-" I paused, trying to put events into words, "She's dying! Or she's bad! I don't know! Clarice asked me to get you."

"Okay, I get it." She stood up from her desk immediately, grabbed a medical bag, and quickly, but calmly, started towards the castle as I scrambled to keep up with her.

We arrived at the room as quickly as we could. Rin was on a love seat in the corner of the room, and Clarice was the one kneeling by the bedside. For basically the whole day, Dr. Suzune and Clarice were talking in medical terms and preforming tests with different contraptions as I sat next to Rin. She was sobbing most of the time. It was strange because I was only a few years older than her, but I tried to comfort her in any way I could. I kept saying, "It's okay, it's okay." The pitter-pats of the rain continued the whole time.

At 7 P.M., Rin fell asleep. At 9 P.M., Queen Linda was dead and the rain finally stopped.
