CHAPTER 2: Beneath the Howling Stars part 2
"Pounding upon the pauper ridge
Earshot of a hunched beldame
Usagi teased, would He dare to please
Such elderly loins enflamed?"
Usagi smiled enticingly, leading Mamoru to the upper regions of her dungeons.
"I've brought thee something for your amusement."
Zirconia was revealed standing against the wall. She looked up defiantly as the two entered.
"To this He feigned a grim disdain
Playing to Her slayful eye
But the hag replied….
'This girl that chides
Will soon be plagued with age as I'"
Usagi turned her cold glare on Zirconia.
"You dare speak in my presence?"
Zirconia pressed even closer to the wall, but continued to stare defiantly.
"Mine own power is not yet completely depleted. I shall not fear thee! Underneath thine beauty is is a crone waiting to emerge." she hissed.
Usagi's eyes flashed murder.
"Her consort laughed a plume of icy breath
For Usagi's grace could raise
A flag of truce in burning Heaven
Or the dead from early graves"
Mamoru laughed chillingly, derisively.
"Heed her not, Usagi. She spits the jealous words of one who has never known true beauty."
Usagi turned her flawless visage toward him.
"Yet still She seethed
This proud Snow Queen
Embittered with the cursed retort
And because He sought Her loves onslaught
He gutted the crone for sport"
Zirconia lay dead upon the ground, her entrails warming the cold stone. Usagi extended her pale, perfect hand. Mamoru clasped it, and together they stepped from the room.
"Soon in full moon fever they were wed
Lycanthropic in the conjugal bed
Littered with aphrodisiacs
To tease dynastic union
And beget them further maniacs"
Yeah, I know, it's short and there's not much actual writing, but in this Chapter the song pretty much tells the story. There'll be more soon, really! Also if I made any mistakes concerning usage of, like, "thou" and "thee", please tell me. I just felt like using it. It's not my fault! I've been reading Dante's "The Inferno", and all that old-style verse is getting to me o.O
Anyhow, feedback? I like feedback.
*note: I know they made Zirconia into a guy in the anime and Sailor Moon probably killed him off, but I needed someone elderly and wrinkled and icky-looking for the 'hag'. So Zirconia it was!
