"So you thought you could trick my brother? You are just pathetic as ever, Olive."
Olive tried to wriggle out of the mist, with no avail.
"I wasn't trying to trick him! I know the truth!"
"Not all of it, apparently." She leaned in closer to his face. "I'm doing this to protect him and everybody around him."
Olive gave up and slumped down. "Fine, you win. Ollen can have the Origami Kingdom as far as I'm concerned. I just want to know if Olly and Olivia are okay."
Ollendria was knocked back from Olive, and the mist dissipated. There stood Goombob and Toadguard.
"Olive, are you okay?" Goombob asked, turning to face him.
Olive got back up off the floor and dusted off his clothes. "Yeah, thanks."
"We are here to protect you," Toadguard said. "It seems that Ollen is being controlled."
Ollendria got up off the ground and straightened her crown. "Hmph. You're so pathetic, you're making allies with two...outcasts."
"You take that back, lady!" Goombob shouted.
"Make me." She pulled down her collar a little and spat at their general direction. Her collar covered her mouth again when she let go of it.
Olive noticed something odd about her. She was too far to get a good look at it, but he knew something was off. He needed to find a way to get rid of that collar of her's...
"Let's rumble." She twirled the scythe behind her about three times, and held it out in front of her, tapping the end against the floor. "'Big brother' Olive."
Olive looked at his 1,000 fold arms. They have hurt Olly and Olivia in the past. He needed to hurt her to make her stop but...he didn't want to. He took a deep breath and stepped towards Ollendria.
"Good, you accepted my challenge."
Orange mist grabbed Olive's wrists and pulled him down, holding him by the ankles too.
"Now, I didn't say it was going to be fair, now did I?"
Olive looked at the floor by her feet. He had a very weak version of Dimentio's power. If he could just get his hand free for just a second, he could trap her. But...would it work was a greater question.
He fought the mist for a few minutes, then gave up. "Fine. Whatever. Finish me off, if you want."
"Gladly." She stopped in front of him and raised her scythe. Her foot sank into a small black portal, causing her to loose her balance and concitration. The mist vanished and Olive trapped her ankle in the small portal.
"I've caught you fair and square." He grabbed her collar and pulled her closer to him. "Game over, Ollendria."
She sighed. "You forgot one thing, Olive..." An orange glow appeared next to him as she brought her scythe inches away from his neck. "I am still stronger."
Olive backed away from her out of instinct. There was a loud tear and Olive looked. He was holding her collar and...
She had two long boar teeth visible even though her mouth was closed.
Ollen gasped and dropped his scythe, it reforming back into Shade. Goombob's mouth hung open and Toadguard rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"Ollie? What happened to you? Are you okay?" Ollen asked.
"You happened. This is all your fault, Ollen. All of it." Ollendria pulled her foot out of the portal and it closed. She looked at her hand and pulled off her gloves. She had claws. "This is because of you. You cursed me."
Everybody looked at Ollen, who just shrugged.
She fixed her dress and straightened her crown. "I suppose I should finally tell you everything." She sighed. "Where to begin...?"
"Why don't you start at the beginning?" Goombob suggested.
"Okay. It all started five years back..."
Author note: I can't believe I finished this finally. This isn't the end, however. The next one is "The Prince of Darkness" which is Ollen and Ollendria's backstory, and the one after that is the last one. The title for the last one is still in progress, but it's an Owl House/Paper Mario the Origami King crossover (one out of three[?]).
I hope you enjoyed this story. Thank you for reading and catch you later!
