Chapter 11: Another Side of the Story:
Odette's POV:
I'm too worried about how this will turn out. I then looked at the painting of my Mother. "I wish you were here right now," I said.
Odette: Everyone tells me how wise you were
How you led with a gentle hand
Is there something I am missing?
All these burdens
All these tasks
Are they too much to bear?
Is it too much to ask?
Fédora: Hello, my Darling.
Odette: Mother?
Fédora: I may know something to help you.
See another side of the story
Hear a different verse to their song
When you look through their eyes
Then surely you'll find
A story with another side
Odette: Oh, Mother, it's so true.
Fédora/Odette: See another side of the story
Odette: There's another side
Fédora/Odette: Hear a different verse to their song
When you look through their eyes
Then surely you'll find
Fédora: A story
Odette: A story
Fédora/Odette: A story with another sssssssssiiiiiiiiidddddddddeeeeeeeee!
Pipa Jing's POV:
Those that have been involved with the defeat of my children will also be attending. This is going to be more fun. "Most memorable coronation." Well, I'll give them something they won't forget alright. Time to get to work!
Odette's POV:
Turns out... Iolanta was right! I guess they just needed the right amount of confidence, everything looked like it was going to be perfect. Like my Mother said.
. . .
Then came the coronation. All the royals were there.
"Prince Siegfried," says one of them.
"Yes," asks Siegfried.
"My name is Pearl. Your Father helped my people once and I just want to say he was a good man."
"Your-wait, are you one of those merfolk," I asked.
"You're married to a woman that was a swan," says Pearl.
"She has a point," I said.
There was also Queen Shouyang and her husband, Yuandu. I'm sure he has a great personality. Queen Golden Sun and her husband, Garrett. Pearl's husband, Emperor Yoi. They're all here. Also, the friends that Iolanta made during her journey to becoming Queen. First, Iolanta put on a big show, then, came the time.
"Welcome," says Iolanta, "I'm so glad everyone could make it!"
Then we heard a laugh, and a woman came. "Now, everyone is here," she says.
"Pipa Jing," asks Iolanta, "you were... oh wait, no, I did invite you. Never mind."
"But I did not come here for the party," says Pipa Jing, "I came for revenge!"
"For what," asks Iolanta, "are you mad because my mares won that pet show? What kind of monster holds a grudge for that long?"
"I'm glad you ask." Pipa Jing then changes. She looks like a woman with gray skin and black hair. She has red eyes. She also has fangs and a fork tongue. She wears her ankle length dark purple hair in a low braid. She wears a black revealing gown and has a second mouth on her belly.
Iolanta stares. "Oh, when those royals said, 'Demon Mother', they meant-"
"I am the Mother of the Demon Sorcerers many here have helped with the downfall of," says Pipa Jing, "Tchang Zhu, Bai Tza, Dai Gui, Shen Du, Po Kong, Xiao Fung, Tso Lan, Hsi Wu, and Ting Song!"
"UUUUUUUUUmmmmmmmmm... actually," says the Chamberlain, "not all of those demons were defeated by people here."
"Oh, well, I'm still going to destroy this whole kingdom and everyone in it," says Pipa Jing.
She then unleashes her unholy power.
To Be Continued
Chamberlain is actually talking about Shen Du. In the next chapter, Hercules comes to help fight against Pipa Jing.
