Far beyond Pixie Hallow, in the evil dragon Kyro's cave, there's a little knot hole where the monarks live. "Queen Sennia! We did it! We got her!" Sennia grinned an evil grin. "And the pixie dust?" The monarks nodded.
Sennia turned to see the monarks holding handfulls of dust. "You IDIOTS! That is all you could grab!?" Sennia bellowed. The monarks shrugged, not wanting to tell the queen that Vidia had intimidated them.
Sennia shook her head. "Oh well, it will be enough, and Vidia?" The monarks grinned evily. "She's right here!" They picked up the bag. "'She's lighter than we thought." one grumbled. They removed the bag to reveal a terrified Prilla.
"WHAT!?! Does that look like Vidia to you?!" Sennia screamed. The monarks didn't know what to say. "I-it was dark! She was hanging out with Elwood!" Sennia sighed. "Whatever." She snapped her fingers making a vine come to life and wrapped around Prilla.
'I guess you'll just have to be the first to witness Black dust!" Sennia muttered, ominously. Prilla struggled against the ropes. "What is Black dust?" she asked. Sennia grinned at her and pointed down a hall. "Black dust. The monark dust. We have managed to sneek in your little well and steal your'pixie dust' ." She tweaked Prilla's little nose. 'You can thank your purple friend for that. My magic has allowed me to reverse the your 'pixieness' and make it a little more...black."
Prilla struggled some more. "You can't do that! That's our dust!" she squeled. Sennia let out a chuckle. "You think THAT'S bad, I haven't even finished yet!" She looked down the hallway.
"The whole purpose of this is to have more monarks. Thanks to your pathetic excuse for a queen, I can't make any new monarks with pure magic, but with Black dust..." Prilla gasped. "You make monarks by possessing OUR dust! That's even worse than when Vidia plucked Mother Dove for better dust!"
Sennia shook her head. "Will you STOP interrupting me!? It gets worse!" She resumed looking down the hall. "I gan't make monarks raw, I have to.....BORROW fairies for the spell to work. She turned to face Prilla, expecting her to freak out, but the little fairy just looked confused.
"Huh?" she murmered. Sennia sighed. "I dump fairies into the Black dust and they turn into monarks!" she revealed. Prilla gasped. "That's..that's mutiny!" she cried. "You should feel lucky."Sennia sneered. "How?" Prilla wanted to know.
Sennia's eyes seemed to glow. "YOU, little one, are going to take Vidia's place, and become the very first fairy to become a monark!" Prilla began to thrash like crazy. "Why are you doing this? I know you want enough monarks to block out the sun, but why? How is that getting back at Queen Clarion?" Sennia seemed to consider this. "Well, since you will become my mind less slave soon, I guess I can tell you.
To Prilla's surprise, the evil queen knelt down beside her. "Prilla, where do clumsie's energy come from?" Prilla thought about this, Iredessa had taught her about clumsie's needs. "The sun?" she said, hesitantly. Sennia nodded. "Now, what would happen if the sun went away?"
Prilla froze. Without the sun, the clumsie's crops wouldn't grow, the snow would never melt, eventually their would be no rain. No food. No water. The clumsies would be miserable. No, worse, the clumsies would die.
Prilla resumed her thrashing. "I guess you figured it out?" Sennia laughed. "Um..excuse me?" came a voice. The monarks, Sennia, and Prilla looked toward the entry way. There was Elwood.
"Elwood!" Prilla cried in delight. But something was wrong. Elwood looked...hopeless. Sennia sneered. 'If you're here to rescue your pink friend, you can just forget about it!" "I know." Elwood sighed.
The monarks exchanged a look. "What?" Sennia asked, surprised. "I heard of your evil plot, I...I want to become a monark." Prilla could not beleive her ears. Elwood was ...surrendering? Sennia examined him. "Why?" she whispered. Elwood sighed again. "I tried to get help from Vidia, I told her Prilla was in danger, she wouldn't help me.."
Prilla's heart stopped. Vidia left her for dead? Tears were forming in her eyes. 'How could I ever think she cared about me?' she thought. Elwood shrugged. "I give up. I've tried to be the sparrowman I could never be. Let me BE something here. Let me be a monark." Prilla let out a little sob. Sennia grinned. "Very well, I like your style, betraying your little friend so you can be something better."
Elwood looked at Prilla. "Sorry Prilla, It's just.. it's not like we stand much of a chance against her, right?" Prilla's glowed turned red. "YOU SPINELESS, PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A SPARROWMAN!" She scowled. Elwood looked genuinely hurt. He then turned to Sennia. 'I just have a few questions...' 'What?" Sennia asked. Elwood flew over towards the hallway. The queen and monarks followed him.
Tears flowing from her eyes, Prilla watched as Elwood pounded Sennia with questions. She fell over on her side. She was going to become a monark, and try to destroy the clumsies, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Suddenly, hands grabbed her from behind. Prilla tried to scream, but a hand clamped over mouth. 'Oh no,' she thought,' If i'm really going to become one of them, i'm not going quietly!' She bit down on the hand over mouth. "Ow darling, that smarts!" said her grabber. Prilla paused. She would know that sickly swee voice anywhere.. She turned her head to look in the fastest- fast flyer's blue eyes.
"Vidia!?" Prilla whispered. Vidia nodded. "You didn't think I was actually going to abandon you, did you precious?' She sent a quick glance at Elwood. "We have to hurry, I think Elwood is running out of questions." Now Prilla understood. Elwood was creating a diversion while Vidia freed her. Vidia untied her friend and sent a wave to Elwood, who nodded. "Thanks for coming for me Vidia!' Prilla whispered.
"Yes, thanks for coming, my sweet."
Vidia's heart foze. In fact, her whole body froze. 'No' She whispered in her head. 'No, no,no...' Both fairies turned their heads. Prilla saw a complete stranger, but Vidia knew this monark very well. Too well.
This was Deveon.
