Epilogue
Pixie and Snow Sprite flew above the streets of Never City as they were on patrol. It was nighttime now as they looked down below to see the lights of the city shining up at them. Pixie wore a constant smile on her face. She'd only been working at Haddock Industries for a week thus far, and she already loved it. It was everything she dreamed it would be.
She'd been slightly disappointed to hear the rumors that Hiccup was dating his business partner Merida Dunbroch. But she accepted it. She still admittedly had a crush on him. But she guessed some things weren't meant to be.
She still kept in touch with him. They'd spend hours talking about new ideas and inventions and she loved that. And Hiccup had even bought an abandoned warehouse and outfitted it with a state of the art design lab for her and her sister to use as their HQ. She loved it.
Suddenly the women got a shiver up their spines. They stopped to hover in midair. They exchanged glance. They could feel…dark magic. They looked around, and then they heard a scream. They followed it until they flew into an empty alleyway.
It was dark. They switched to night vision as they peered inside. And they gasped. There was a body hanging from a fire escape. By what looked like black thorny vines. Pixie scanned the corpse and saw there was no pulse or signs of life. The man looked like a shady character, but this was gruesome.
A loud caw was heard overhead. Causing both women to jump. They looked up to see a black crow. Watching them intently. There was something…off about it. Suddenly it flared its wings before it swooped down over their heads and disappeared into the darkness.
They looked after it, and they could feel they were being watched.
"Come out," Pixie demanded. She raised her gauntlets up as she let energy build up.
There was no response. But that sense of another presence didn't disappear. "Come out, or we come after you," Snow Sprite demanded as she raised her gauntlets up.
"Very well," came a voice. The two women waited as a figure emerged from the darkness. It was a woman. She wore long black and purple robes and carried a large scepter with a green orb on the top of it. Her skin was green and she had a very slender face with sharp features. And on her head were…horns?
"Well, aren't you going to bow?" the woman said as she raised an eyebrow at the two of them. Pixie and Snow Sprite looked at the women like she was crazy. "No?" the woman asked as her face became a frown.
She suddenly thrust her staff forward. And the two women were suddenly thrown back by an unseen force. They were pinned against the wall and their arms were bound tightly to their sides.
"How disrespectful, not bowing in the presence of your queen," the woman said as she walked up to them. She stopped just in front of them and looked them over. "How curious. Fairies who use the weapons of man. And a Tinker and Frost Fairy, stranger still," she said evenly.
She raised her scepter up as she used it to turn their heads for a further examination.
"Normally I would kill you for your insolence. But I can see you're both young. So I'll let this lapse in respect slide," she said.
"Now then, tell me, who is your queen?" she asked them both. They remained silent. The woman narrowed her eyes and tapped her scepter against the ground. The women cried out as they felt themselves being squeezed.
"Answer me," the woman said darkly.
"Clarion. Queen Clarion," Pixie muttered through the pain. The squeezing stopped.
"Clarion? That child?" the woman asked in surprise. "How amusing. What happened to Bl—…it doesn't matter."
"Who are you?" Snow Sprite asked.
The woman turned to her and smiled. There was malice in it. This woman practically radiated evil and darkness. The heroines shivered in dread.
"I am the most powerful fairy to ever be born," the woman said as green fire blazed around her. Pixie and Snow Sprite gasped. If what she was implying was true...then that meant she was...it couldn't be!
Pixie and Snow Sprite were suddenly released. They looked up in fear as the woman smiled at them, the green fire illuminating her form.
"Return to Pixie Hollow young fairies. Tell them I have returned. Tell them their true queen will be there soon enough," the woman said. The fire suddenly vanished. The woman swept her robes up and turned around. They watched her go as she walked into the shadows and was gone.
Pixie and Snow Sprite stood up, both drenched in cold sweat.
"Tink, do you really think that was—"
"Yes. We have to go home right away. We have to tell everyone about his," Tink said urgently. She swallowed hard as she looked her sister in the eyes.
"Maleficent has returned."
I bet you were wondering hwat happened to those escaped spirits. Well there's Maleficent accounted for. What is she up to? It will not be good.
