Alternate Destiny: Sloth's Reign

Author's Notes: Oh no! After helping Sabrina escape, Fawn Bella is captured and taken to Sloth's palace for a trial! Will she survive this ordeal? The more reviews I get for this multi-partstory, the more I update:-D Which is a good thing, right? So press 'review'!


When darkness seems to over reign,

The old Neopia will be restored again.

Changes will come, it won't be surprising.

The empire is now supreme, but it won't ever last-!

But there -foretold- will be a sudden uprising.

Empire will crumble and perish like the plaster-cast.

But the old Neopia's hope will never pass away,

An unfaltering hope, which to this very day-

Those things will be different and Neopia will stay.

The Grey faeries teach it, but will we always obey?

Excerpt from The Insight of Thewlis the Third, written soonafter Sloth's invasion of Neopia Central.

Fawn Bella fell at Sloth's feet as the Neo-human Grarrl solider shoved her towards the mean green dictator. Thirteen differently adorned thrones faced the Grey faerie. The thirteen villains of beyond Artesia (one for each 'territory') faced her. Sharp, pinpricked eyes of various colours glared at her- golden, jade and crimson. Sloth's eyes were the most frightening of all- bulbous and blood- red. There was appalling laughter as the rulers stared at the fallen Grey Faerie.

Each of them was an immoral ruler from Terror Cliff, Darigell, Rue Island, Fear-Land, Kedora, Aquaria, Mist Island, Sabula, Cabal Tomb and the Haunted Forest. The thirteenth villain was unknown to all of Artesia… And each of them decided what happened to the people who were not worthy of them…

"So, Fawn Bella- will you heed my words?" yelled Sloth, "You are famous for the escape of one of the Rebels- and you will obey me as a consequence!"

"Why should I?" protested Fawn Bella courageously, "You and your motley 'friends' have been in rule for too long! And you have forced many innocent owners into persecution… You enforced tearing the wings off my faerie cousins and sisters- and in the process taking most of our memories and powers!"

"ENOUGH! I will hear no more!" thundered François, but Fawn continued on…

"I remember it as though it was yesterday… You tried to conquer over Neopia by a mutation ray- but the Space Faerie arrived too late… The blue Faerie was hit by your ray. She failed to stop you and fell to Neopia's surface, screaming and flaring like a vivid neon shooting star… She was never found again. It was then that we knew that Neopia was done for… But-" Fawn Bella took a breath,

"Old Neopia will rise again from the depths of despair- the Rebels will see to it."
"It's improbable and outrageous!" yelled the rulers as the Neo-humans snarled with surprise. "Do something- before she creates any more controversy!" Then roughened claws grabbed the Faerie and she was tossed into unconsciousness… Sloth grinned as the Bori-boy dragged Fawn away, "No matter what happens, I'll be prepared for the Rebels! Let the fugitives come for me. Artesia will never fail with me in power! Mu ha ha ha!"

The laughter resounded as the semi-mutated Neo-human creatures laughed with the Rulers of beyond Artesia... All agreeing on one thing- Neopia will NEVER rise, as far as they were concerned!
