Chapter 4: What kind of Magic Spell To Use?
---The Swamp---
Lily stopped on the other side of the mucky river running through the swamp, looking
cautiously over at Wolf.
"Well...why are you here?"
"Oh...yes, well," He scratched his ear the same way and twitched slightly, pausing and
shifting his eyes back and forth as if thinking hard on the question.
"Heh...funny story really-"
Just as Wofl looked up to her, his eyes flashing amber, a glow in the corner of their eyes
caught their attention. Lily and Wolf turned to see the source of the aura encircling three
palm sized pixies with blue skin, pointed ears and makeshift cloth from moss that
covered everything that needed to be covered.
The three pixies smiles up at them with gleaming green eyes, the little light that was
Escaping from the treetops glimmering off of their silverfish-white hair.
Lily leaned in closer, smiling sweetly at them.
Wolf looked at them and rolled his eyes, growling softly. As everyone always knows,
Fairies and pixies and sprites can't be trusted, 'It's almost common sense'.
"Hello!" The middle pixie spoke up in a high pitched, but audible squeal.
"This isn't good, this isn't good at aaallll." Wolf mumbled to Lily, practically singing the
last part in a warning tone.
Lily gave him a backward glance but the first pixie averted her attention quickly back to
them.
Wolf knew that something was definitely wrong here...
"There are three things that you must know in order to surv-"
"To get through the swa-"
"Forest safely," Said the three pixies, the last nudging the other two in the ribs.
"One," started the first, "You mustn't drink the water."
"Two, you must never eat the mushrooms."
"And three, you must never-"
"Ever-"
"Under any circumstances-"
"Fall asleep..." The last pixie shot the other two nasty glares, as the interruptions had
finally come her way. Then they all smiled in mock-innocence and looked up at Lily.
"But...I was told of a swamp witch, do you know anything of her?"
The three pixies huddled closer together and gasped all at once.
"Do we know the swamp witch?"
"Well, I'm insulted!"
Lily blinked, thinking that she had offended them by suggesting that they knew the
whereabouts of the witch, even if it was to avoid her,
"I-I think that you misunderstood, I meant-"
"OH YES! It's all fun and games with you mortals."
"Not a care in the world, don't think that anything could ever harm you!"
"You think that we're monsters, just foul beings put on this In-between Land as pests!"
"Pests!"
"PESTS!"
Lily recoiled slightly, leaning back and blinking as the pixies' voices raised to a
screaming squeal.
Wolf was dancing rather like a person in dire need for a bathroom facility, repeating to
Himself the dangers of angering master troublemakers such as pixies, almost whining,
"This isn't good, This isn't good, ohhh, I want my booone!"
"What should we do with them then? What spell shall we cast, sisters?"
"Ahhh...." Said the third pixie, "I think that they want to go and visit the dear witch."
The pixies all grinned maliciously now.
Wolf blinked and his eyes grew wide as he went into a sort of small panic attack, waving
His hands out in front of the pixies, "Wait! No no no no no no no no no, you don't wanna do that! Three nice little girls like you-"
"I recognize you! WOLF!"
The other two gasped melodramatically as before.
"Uh...I have one of those faces?" Wolf suggested, unconvincingly.
"You took a bite at me last moon! FOOL!" The pixie took in a deep breath, calming
herself and smiled sweetly as before. Wolf let out a small whimper, inching behind Lily.
"Yes, I do believe they might want to go see the witch..." She raised a finger at them.
"No wait, I want to do it!"
"No, It's my turn to be naughty!"
"Is not!" "Is too!"
"Is NOT!"
"IS TOO!"
"IS NOT ITS NOT IS NOT-"
"IIIIISSSSSSS TOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The two continued bickering as the pixie in the middle blinked, a little confused and just
stood, er, floated on the beanstalk stump they had all been hovering over that still had an
ax stuck in the side.
"Quick, let's amscra before they stop fighting, I don't wanna end up as food for the
muck monsters."
Lily blinked as Wolf grabbed her wrist and started to lead her back through the woods.
The middle pixie blinked, staring after them..."THEY'RE GETTING AWAY YOU
FRACKEN WINGED GOBLINS!"
The other two were silenced.
"Ooo, that was cold," The third blinked.
The middle pixie rolled her eyes, "Come on then!"
They all took off and cut Lily and Wolf off before they could even reach the edge of the
river.
"And where do you think you're going?" A crystal rolled past unnoticed and stopped
behind Lily and Wolf.
The first pixie glanced to it, looking back up and whispering to her two sisters, warning
them that 'he who must not be named' was near.
"And where do you think you are going?"
The three pixies disappeared in a small puff of pink smoke as a accented voice came from
behind Lily and Wolf.
"Uh...No where!"
"Nowhere?" The voice had changed, it was scratchier now and less distinct in the murky
swamp air.
They turned to see a strange creature that stood on two spindly legs that bent and were
attached, not to a body, but to a head that looked mush like a goblin's only simpler
and...greener....but only stood a few feet tall.
"A muck monster?! Yiiikes." Wolf bit down on his hand, backing away slightly.
Lily blinked and tilted her head to the side to stare at the creature for a moment. It didn't
seem harmless, then again Lily lived in somewhat a protective dome that shielded her
from believing that people or a animal or monster of any kind could do harm to her
purposely.
On the other hand, Wolf knew all to well the dangers of this swamp, this whole labyrinth
in fact, was one giant deathtrap according to him.
Lily giggled slightly as she looked to Wolf, "You're not scared of this little thing are
you?"
"I'll have you know that that 'little thing' can expand its mouth to whatever size of its
prey and has about sixteen rows of teeth especially evolved to chop, chew, and
completely destroy whatever happens to cross it, and I personally don't favor being
dinner!" He huffed, still glancing warily at the muck monster every few seconds.
"Um...That's right, no where at all-HEHE." Wolf got shifty eyed, looking
down at it.
"Nowhere?"
"Nowhere?!"
"Nowhere?!?!"
The muck monster had grinned evilly at first, showing teeth in razor sharp rows in its
mouth, its mouth in all being a small black hole, so to speak, from which no one would
return.
Lily blinked and Wolf's mouth dropped open as the muck monster evolved into 'he who
must not be named' right in front of them.
Jareth smiled smugly and stared at them, stepping forward as Lily inched closer to Wolf,
feeling much more vulnerable now, as you could imagine.
"I had heard that the pixies failed to do their duty in this swamp only moments ago, so I
figured that since you have escaped from the oubliette and I have no further use for you
now that Sarah is lured into my plans...I should have to dispose of you quickly and
discreetly."
"Uh-"Wolf raised a finger from behind Lily for a moment to speak, but was interrupted
again by Jareth.
"-I'll hand you over to a good friend of mine..."
He took from behind his back the crystal ball and tossed it into the air, catching it, "Don't
worry, it's not some cliché Hansel and Gretel scenario now is it? This should be far more
entertaining..." He said, tossing the crystal sphere into the air once more.
Wolf and Lily's eyes followed it as it expanded almost cloud-like and they appeared once
more to be in the swamp.
"YIKES!" Wolf twitched, practically jumping on Lily as he looked to a small, rotted old
cottage that sat in the mist of the deepest darkest part of the swamp which happened to be
directly in front of them.
"Huff Puff..." Wolf said in a delighted tone as he looked to a mushroom patch growing
near the side of the house next to a pond of swamp water, placed right by a glowing fire
and two conveniently placed sitting logs.
Hansel and Gretel, meet Wolf and Lily.
