IN THE BEGINNING
Centuries Ago
"We have to do something about this!" Roman Wolf said, the son of the first ever Big Bad Wolf.
"I think we already know that Roman, if you have any new ideas, cough it up, if not, hush," Sangria Hood replied with a harsh tone, she just couldn't stand him, must be what his father had done to her mother and great-grandmother.
Roman growled at her, "I have had enough-"
"Everyone, that's enough!" Malina Queen screamed. "As the Counsellors of Ever After, we need to deal with this threat not quarrel among ourselves, now Roman, Sangria, both of you calm down, yes it was terrible what the wolf did to your mother but letting things like that blind us will not solve anything. I mean my great-grandmother was the first Evil Queen but that didn't affect my life."
"I fully agree, now let's discuss how to defeat Destiny," Neige White began.
"But this is Destiny we are talking about, how do we defeat something that we follow?" Mary Hearts asked.
"We have no idea right now, but we will, we have defeated crazed Infernal Dragons, Ice Giants, even a Time Keeper, we will defeat Destiny," Neige replied.
"We have nothing on her at all, no weaknesses, just that she is powerful enough to enslave us all, she can even hear the Narrators and they know everything," Madden Hatter said.
Most of them rolled their eyes, but others looked scared, with all they had witnessed throughout their lives, anything seemed possible.
"Okay calm down Madden," Golda Lockes replied, as she held the hand of her husband, Alex Wonderland. "We have tried everything really, from spells to magical objects but nothing works, why don't we just give-"
"Golda, you can't be serious! You want us to surrender?" Roman asked.
"Think about all the lives lost, is it really worth it to lose more over an enemy that can't be stopped, I'm thinking about all of us here, how many children are orphans now because their parents are dead?"
"The more reason to fight!" Jacqueline Beanstalk argued.
"The more reason to stop, Jac, think of your children, what would happen if they lost their mother as well?" Golda said.
"I would rather have a world where my children are free without me than a world where we are oppressed."
Soon different agreements erupted and the Council was in chaos yet again, a decision was something that seemed as if it would never be reached.
"I have an idea," said a timid voice, everyone stopped and looked at the owner.
"What is it?" Malina asked.
"All of you be quiet and sit," the woman said.
"Who do you think you are? Wait, who exactly are you?" Majesty Charming asked.
The woman had stark black hair and wore a simple brown cloak over a plain white dress.
"Well I go by many names but the one being used the most is...wait for it, Destiny!"
Golda shrieked.
The woman got up and black smoke surrounded her and concealed her.
"Where is she?" Neige asked. "How did she even get in?"
"Everyone get to the door," Malina whispered.
Block smoke raced to the door and shut it. "None of you are going anywhere," Destiny called out of the smoke.
Finally it dispersed and standing by her sides were grotesque looking demon like creatures.
"Say hello to my minions, they do love ripping people to shreds, now since I am nice let's make a deal," Destiny said as she patted one of her minions on the head, it purred in response.
"We will never deal with you!" Jacqueline said.
"Jac, be quiet, what is this deal?" Malina asked.
Destiny smiled, "Well let's just say if you all decide to bow down to me, I may not kill all of you and everyone you love, how is that for a deal?"
"Why are you doing this to us?" Golda asked.
"Because I can and because you insects need a leader."
"But not a leader like you, who will use violence to get what she wants," Madden replied.
"Oh you, the Mad Hatter, the one who can hear those pathetic Narrators, such a bore listening to them isn't?"
Hey, we are right here you know!
Destiny rolled her eyes, "Can I continue? Whatever, your friend was right those Narrators may know things, but they don't know everything, think of them as watchers, they watch and then speak, nothing more really. But really it doesn't take a genius to know what happens if you reject this deal."
"Malina, we should do what she says," Golda responded.
Destiny smiled, "That blonde girl is right, I like you, so what is it going to be?"
Malina looked at the others in the room, giving in would make them seem weak but not accepting would mean sudden death for all of them.
She looked at the rest, "This is a group vote, surrender or fight?"
The others looked uneasy; whatever they chose did not have any positive results for them.
They were taking far too long to come to an agreement, Destiny snapped her fingers and one of her creatures pounced on Majesty Charming, mauling him, his screams startled everyone and they looked in horror, there was nothing they could do.
"Never keep me waiting, decide or I will just decide to kill all of you."
After what they had seen, they knew the answer to her ultimatum.
"We will never surrender!" Malina said.
"Wrong answer," Destiny formed a fist with her hand and Alex Wonderland was sent flying.
"Alex!" Golda shrieked, rushing to her husband.
The creatures began to attack to Counsellors; screams came from left and right.
"Oh I do enjoy this," Destiny said and she looked around, she stopped Malina.
She teleported and appeared in front of the Evil Queen, "Such a shame you had to reject my deal, but oh well."
She was about to strike the Queen when a bright white light appeared in between them, it seemed to be coming from the Evil Queen's hands.
"What is that?!" Destiny said, looking surprised.
The light engulfed the room and then just like that it was no more, at Malina's feet was a book was a golden cover, she looked up and Destiny and her creatures were gone as well.
What is this! A voice much like Destiny's screamed.
They all looked around but they couldn't see her.
"What happened?" Alex asked his head on Golda's knees.
"I have no idea," Malina replied.
How did you do this? I thought no one had that much power! Destiny's voice sounded again.
"Where is she?" Mary asked.
Malina surveyed the whole room, they were not in the room, but wait, she counted the people in the room who were still alive, there were more shadows than there were people.
She looked at one that appeared more feminine than the rest, it was moving its mouth, if that was what she could call it.
How was I defeated by an Evil Queen?
"Destiny!"
"Where?" Neige asked.
"There," Malina pointed. "She's a shadow, along with her creatures."
"The book," Roman said.
Malina picked the book up and looked at it, its golden cover shined, she opened it and an uncontrollable wind filled the room, Destiny and her creatures, now in shadow form were being pulled in.
How dare you! Destiny screamed. I will get out and get my revenge, Ever After and every other realm will be mine to rule, that I promise!
They were dragged in the book and it shut, they seemed to be trapped in.
"You defeated her, you defeated Destiny!" Sangria screamed.
Malina smiled, "Yes I did."
Yet she couldn't understand how she did it, she didn't think she had the power, maybe she could so scared she unleashed something inside her. She brushed the thought away, the important thing was that Destiny was gone and the world was safe again.
