Chapter 3
It was the day before the christening of Prince Zoro. Everyone in the castle was busy preparing for the christening that would take place the next day. Among the workers, the messengers were getting ready to go out to deliver the invites the Queen gave them.
Usopp, one of the messengers that were supposed to deliver the invites, woke up late on the day. He was so late that he didn't get to eat his breakfast. He started on his delivery an hour after the others. He had to walk to deliver them and find his own transport as all the other messengers took the horses in the stable. One of their many mottos were 'Time flies, don't be late' and since he woke up late, it acted as a punishment as some of the addresses that was on the invite were places whereby no transport goes and so walking was the only option.
The sun was setting down and Usopp still had one invite to deliver. He looked at the address and he trembled in fear. It was an invite to a fairy that lived deep, deep, deep, deep, deep in the forest.
"I-I AM TH-THE B-BRAVE K-KING USOPP! I-I HAVE NO F-FEAR!"
He bolted into the forest, eyes wide shut. He slightly opened his eyes and found that it wasn't as scary as he thought and so he continued walking into the forest. Every step he takes brings him closer to the deepest of the deepest of the forest. He looked behind him and found that he could no longer see the entrance.
'EEEEEEEEK!"
Fear started to creep in and his knees began to shake vigorously. Thoughts began to enter his mind.
What if a wolf finds me? I'm going to get eaten!
What if an old lady kidnaps me and fattens me up only to eat me?!
What if-
His thoughts were interrupted by noises around the forest. He could hear wings flapping. What if I get bitten by a vampire?
On one of the trees, there was a worn down sign that said 'Welcome to the deep, deep forest'. He still had 3 more deeps to go but he wasn't sure if he would be able to make it alive. Maybe it was his paranoia but he could feel stares directed at him. He could hear whispering that seems to grow louder and louder. All of a sudden,...
Silence.
His heartbeat quickened.
Ba-bump... Ba-bump.. Ba-bump.. -bumpba-bumpba-bumpbabababababa!
GROWLS.
"KYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Usopp's loud piercing scream resonated throughout the forest, his eyes bulging out, mouth wide open, tongue snaking out, snot dripping on his nose, eyes brimming with tears threatening to spill and the hairs on his skin stood on its ends. He ran as fast as the wind. His heart was pounding loudly against his chest and his lungs bursting for air. He was so scared that the invite slipped out of his quivering hands. He ran, stumbling over rocks that littered the path and tripping on overgrown roots. There was no time for rest for his life was on the line. He could see the entrance where he came in. Forcing his legs to push harder, he continued his sprint towards safe grounds. As soon as he emerged from the forest, he was gasping for breath. Cool air washed over him, calming down his flushed face. He looked up and saw the sun had already disappeared. He was so relieved that he made it out alive that he forgot the main reason he was there in the first place and went home instead.
What poor Usopp did not realize was that the noise he heard while in the forest was just his stomach growling for he hadn't eaten all day.
The day of the christening finally came. The King and Queen along with their newborn baby, who was sleeping on King Luffy's swaying arm, were already at the church as well as the Priest. Close friends and families started filling up the church and no sooner, the fairies started arriving as well. They were flying around the church, sprinkling fairy dusts on the humans, which apparently lifted up your mood. The guests and the King and Queen were amazed at the sight that unfolded before them. They had never seen as many fairies gathered in one place as the ones in front of them. After a few rounds, they had transformed into human-size. Although most had to return to fairy size as they couldn't all fit inside the church. Queen Vivi assumed that the most important fairies were the ones who stayed human size as Robin did not return to their normal state along with other fairies of who 6 stood out. Queen Vivi noted that they all had a different coloured glow to them and was similar to Robin in that they were more beautiful and powerful than most. Their outfit consisted of a strapless top and a ruffled skirt that ended above the knee with a flowy trail attached to the skirt. Their long hair was loosely curled with a small piece of flower on their hair. They were wearing heeled sandals with two different coloured ribbons laced up to their knees. Robin was wearing a purple dress and sandals with a sakura flower on her hair behind her ear. The other fairies were dressed in a similar way except they had different coloured dress that matches their glow.
As everyone settled down in their seats and the fairies that were flying had quietened down, the priest began the ceremony. While everyone was focused on the service, no-one noticed a fairy who looked more like a witch with a dark glow sneaking inside through the back window. Even though she did not create a scene while entering, did not mean that she wouldn't create a scene later on. All she had to do was wait.
Wait until the right moment present itself where she can have her revenge...
"They should have thought twice before leaving me out of the christening. Now they will pay. Heeheeheehee!"
To be continued...
If you guys are having a hard time picturing the dress of the fairies, I got the idea from Winx Club when I was flicking through the channels. I pictured Robin wearing Musa Harmonix. If you google it, you'll find it :)
