The girls followed another trail of monster corpses that was much thicker than the previous one, a clear sign that Alice was incredibly about her earlier outburst, so she was trying to get her mind off of it by killing innocent monsters. Eventually, the trail led to yet another staircase that led to a large hallway.

One hallway path was broken off by old age (or maybe it was the earthquake a week or so ago), so they had to turn the other way... only to find yet ANOTHER staircase. This one, however, had the door at the bottom of the stairs wide open, and the trio could see Alice rummaging through the wardrobe. Marine scrambled down the stairs to grab Alice by the wrist.

"Alice! What are you doing! Don't snoop through other people's stuff!" She scolded.

Alice raised an eyebrow at Marine, "...Marine, this place is in ruins. I'm positive nobody will care if I go through this dresser thing."

While she said that, she pocketed the pair of earrings and the choker she had 'freed'. Marine can't stop me! Can't stop won't stop!

Sheila looked at a painting hanging on the wall as she waited for Marine to stop scolding Alice, only to stop in surprise.

"O-oh my!" Sheila squealed, "Is this Princess Mona? She's beautiful!"

Iris leaned over Sheila's shoulder, "...She looks exactly like Princess Simona of Stornway, except for her beautiful necklace..."

Marine glared at Alice, "Did you find the necklace?"

Alice shrugged, "Nope. It looks pretty though."

The others looked at her confusedly, a single thought shared between the three of them: How can you even see it?

Alice pointed over to an open book, "There's also a diary. It's pretty interesting, I guess. And over there (points to the bookshelf), is a letter sandwiched between two books on the bottom shelf. It appears to be from the Wight Knight... heh!"

Alice snorted, slowly escalating into full blown laughter at the thought of HOW exactly he had gotten inside the Princess's PERSONAL CHAMBERS in order to deliver that letter.

Sheila tried to read the book, but... "Aww! I can't read it! It's in some kind of ancient language..."

Marine clicked her tongue, "Tch, if Sheila can't read it, then neither can the rest of us."

Alice wandered over towards Sheila, and pushed Sheila aside. "I can get it~ Just gimme a second..."

Alice reached towards her right eye, and pried it open, much to the others surprise. Her eye was a bright, shining cerulean color, with little specks of red and black in it.

"... 'My beloved Right Knight... I will go to you, in that land far away... I haven't forgotten you, my love. For as long as the blood of Brigadoom lives on... I will not stop looking... I will find you...'" Alice closes her eye, and rubs it. It's been awhile since she used her actual eyesight, so her eye wasn't exactly appreciative of the sudden intake of bright(ish) light. "That's all I can read, the rest of this book is too faded. I guess it's because the book was turned to this page."

Stella appeared out of Alice's pocket, holding a red and yellow cloth. "Well, that was flappin' vague. Does this mean she died here?"

Alice shook her head, "Nah, there'd be a body if she died here. More importantly, what's that thingy you got there?"

All Iris and Marine could see was the floating piece of colorful cloth. At least they had a vague indication of where the fairy was.

"Oh, it's just a little somethin' I picked up while you were busy slaughterin' every monster in sight. Not that I mind all that much, they were flappin' disgusting. You're my little Victoria, you angel you!" Stella pinched Alice's cheek, and wrapped the cloth around Alice's head, tying a knot at the back of her head tightly. "There we go! Now you have a fashionable bandana! It really clashes with the rest of your colors, but if a rainbow's what you're goin' for..."

Alice grinned widely, and squeezed Stella in a tight hug, murdering the poor fairy. "Yayy! Thanks, Stella! Red's my favorite color!"


After Stella smacked Alice upside the head for nearly killing her, the four girls continued to go down the hallway, having started to hear some evil laughter. After making two turns down the long hallways, they finally came to a large door. Not one to be worried about the possible dangers, Alice kicked the door open, and frowned at the sight in front of her.

There was some weird lady with blue skin, blue wings, blue hair, and even a blue crystal strapped to her forehead, sitting on a throne, smirking at the Wight Knight, who was drawing his lance out, probably to attack her. It was a safe assumption that this was most definitely NOT Mona, even after the earthquake that woke up Wight Knight.

The eternally blue lady (who Alice had the urge to name Mordred, for some reason) chuckled darkly at Wight Knight, "Ka ha ha! Welcome home, m'love. I've been lookin' ev'rywhere for ye. Ye wernae hidin' from me, were ye, ye naughty boy?"

"Morag!" Wight Knight snarled at the sight of his arch nemesis. "Now I remember! I had left Brigadoom in search of you, so that I could destroy you for the safety of the kingdom!"

Mordred/Morag laughed again, slowly getting up off the throne, "But it was I who defeated you, an' wrapped ye in mah sweet, sweet embrace." She held out her hand, slowly inching forward, "An' I had ye all tae maself there for a century or two, the two o' us in oor own private wee world o' darkness. Ye'ren all mie, an' dinnae forget it. Ye're my Wight Knight in shinin' armor..."

Wight Knight scowled at her, and pointed his lance at her. "Enough! This was all your doing! What have you done with her, you fiend?! Where is my precious Mona?"

He made a leap for her throat, only to be shot with a black ball of darkness, with an eerie glow of purple. He was sent back flying several feet, almost knocking Alice over (luckily, Iris pulled her out of the way in time).

"Graaaagh!" Wight Knight let out an anguished grunt. Mordred/Morag stood back up straight, placing a red gloved hand on her hip, letting out another annoying laugh.

"Ye silly nyaff! The earthquake mae have broke the spell I placed on ye, but there's nothin' can stand in the way o' true love. I'll just put another spell on ye, and we'll be all alone together in the darkness again before ye know it. Just the two of us..."

This lady is starting to REALLY starting to piss me off...! Alice made a quick check on Wight Knight to see if he's okay, but he was too busy wriggling around in pain. Well, he'll be fine for now.

Alice angrily stomped towards Mordred/Morag, yanking her sword her of its hilt. "Now see here you damn trashiest piece of absolute SHIT I've ever seen in my entire life...!" Right before Alice could really get into her tirade, Mordred/Morag scowled at her, noticing the four of them for the first time.

"Oh? Are ye here tae steal my beloved Right Knight away from me? Ha! Well, ye're a fool! Did ye no feel the strength of the curse I've put on my poor wee darling? It's pure, yet deadly powerful." Alice face started turning dark red, and it was not from embarrassment; Alice was starting to feel her blood boil in that one way that only certain subjects can make happen. "I can see yer shakin' in ye boots. Dinnae worry yer wee pretty heid. Ye'll soon find out for yerself! Ka ha ha!"

Mordred/Morag leaned forward slightly, shooting the black lasers out of her pure red eyes straight at Alice. Marine and Sheila shrieked, while Iris gasped in horror, after seeing the effect it had made on Wight Knight, who was much bigger than Alice.

All were surprised to see Alice just shake it off, and grin evilly at Mordred/Morag, who was gasping her mouth like a fishy out of water.

"Wh-what...?! I've the cruellest, most crippling curses known tae mortalkind... How could they not work on such a wee, pathetic mortal...?"Mordred narrowed her eyes, leaning towards Alice, "...Just what exactly are ye? If ye were mortal, my curse couldnae have failed, and ye'd be dead at mah feet... Wait... Ye're not... one of them, are ye?!"

At the sight of Alice's grin growing wider, Mordred/Morag took a staggered step back. "Ach, no! We absulutely cannae be havin' this!" She took out a golden dagger out of the deep slit in her dress, "Why couldn't ye have just left us in peace, eh? Now I'm goin' tae have tae make yer wee pretty face a whole lot less lovely!"

Mordred/Morag flew into the air, and made for a stab at Alice's throat... only to be stopped by Alice grabbing her outreached arm, twisting it until several loud cracks could be heard echoing throughout the room as Alice chuckled darkly, breaking Marine and the others out of their shocked stupor.

"I'm going to break that disgusting neck of yours until you can't breathe, so you won't be able to cast anymore of your DISGUSTING ASS MAGIC."


When you fought Morag, did you ever wonder why she was always creepin' on you? She says your face is pretty, and she has an ability to make your party members fall in love with her...

What a creep! It's even worse against girls.

I had thought Morag's name was Mordred before I played the segment for the story.

Jade laughed at me, that asshole.
