"… Wendy. Down. Good girl. Breathe. That's it… W-want a c-cantaloupe?"

Avalon Railburn made those soft sounds as if trying to tame a rampant cat. Instead of an angered creature, it was Wendy. She was somehow smashing her forehead against the wall of the ship.

This freaked out Avalon, the Mage who could recklessly unleash 5 Energy Blades like magic swords with the grace of Dragon Claws. No joke.

"… Wendy. D-do you want some bread? Or some wine? H-how about both, to calm your nerves. I-ignore the fact that you're a minor."

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

"… I-if you keep injuring yourself like that, you'll lose more than a few brain cells."

*Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

"… Little Wendy! Little Wendy! Won't you be my bride!?"

… *Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam-Bam -Bam-Bam-Bam -Bam-Bam-Bam~!*

"O-oh sh*t! Th-that didn't snap her out to make her slap me in the face like a regular response. It's just making her hit her head even harder!"

"Run."

"…"

Wendy Marvel slammed her forehead one more time into the wall. Slowly, she turned to the boy in the poncho… making him turn white all over.

Tears drenched Wendy's small face, as black smoky lines crawled over her flesh and hair.

"Mr. Avalon! Please Ru—AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

…Before the girl could even finish her warning, an untold horror struck her tiny body with great vengeance.

Her body flipped away from the wall, arching and stretching at impossible degrees across the floor. Things enlarged and grew from under her clothing, ripping out to become things like scales and spikes. Her mouth was open, her voice was screaming, and her eyes were hollow with pain.

Dumped with coal. Shot with 10 000 volts. Draw and Quartered. Iron Maiden.

There was no single description that could match the agony that small girl underwent.

"… W… Wendy? Gu-byaaaah!"

Avalon Railburn wanted to reach out, and he received a hand.

It looked like a hand of a skeleton, the size of a wagon, made of smoky black oil.

It slammed into his chest and shoved him against the wall with the force of a killing animal.

"Guwaaaah!"

The boy in the poncho struggled to pull free. It was useless, the pressure only increased every time he budged. He could feel his entire rib cage and hips about to reach breaking point.

"Sorry, Wendy. This is going to sting a little so… bear with... this…. Oh… sh*t…"

Avalon swore one last time. It was not because his body had reached the breaking point.

It was because he finally saw Wendy Marvell, in her new form.

Wings of living black oil. Smoky dark lines carved across her body like tribal markings. Her once fresh-milk skin stained in the color of rotten seaweed, fish like patches stuck to her thighs and shoulders. Her ocean-blue twin-tail was replaced by a set of thick tentacles that quivered and wavered.

"… Wen…dy?"

"D-don't look at me with those eyes! I beg of you!"

Wendy Marvell… had become a creature unknown to humankind.

All because of the curse she acquired in her recent adventure before leaving Fairy Tail to find a cure.

A Curse Under the Night.

"PLEASE DON'T LOOK AT MEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEE!"
