Chapter 82: Blitz Snow and the Seven Demons Part 1
One night at the Goetia Mansion, Blitz is helping Mimmy with her shower. Because she still feels wary about a tube filled with water, so she has a shower instead.
"There we go, you're all done, Mimmy," Blitz says.
Mimmy then shakes some of the water off of her body. Blitz then wraps a towel and picks her up. Moments after, Blitz takes Mimmy to her room and dries her up. And then help her put on her pajamas.
"There you go, are you ready for bed?" Blitz replies.
Mimmy happily nods her head, "Yes." and then asks, "Can you read me a story?"
"Sure sweetie," Blitz says.
He then picks up a book from the book shelf and sits on the bed. Mimmy climbs up her bed and lies down in bed. Then Blitz tucks her into the covers.
Just then, he hears a knock on the door, "Come in."
The door opens and Octavia enters the room wearing her pajamas.
"Hi Octavia, are you ready for bed too?" Blitz asks.
"Yeah, but I thought I would check to see how you both are doing?" Octavia replies.
"We're doing fine," Blitz says.
And Mimmy happily says, "Daddy is going to be reading me a story."
"Really?" Octavia replies, interested.
"Yeah. It's a very good story," Blitz says.
Interested, Octavia asks, "Can I listen to the story too?"
"Sure. I think you'll like it," Blitz says.
And with that, Octavia comes into the room and sits down next to Mimmy who is happy to have Via with her.
"Are you girls ready to hear the story?" Blitz asks.
"I am," Mimmy happily says.
"Alright by me," Octavia says, she then asks, "So what story are you reading? Is it from the living world?"
"Well, it actually is. I don't know if you ever heard of this story, but it's called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," Blitz says, holding the book.
"I've never heard of that one," Octavia replies.
"Me neither," Mimmy says.
"Don't worry, the story is actually really good. You can use your imagination as I read it if you like," Blitz says.
"So what's the story's about?" Octavia asks.
"Well, it is about a beautiful princess who had to escape and took refuge with seven Dwarfs to escape her beautiful but selfish and vain stepmother who tried to have her killed," Blitz answers.
"Why does her stepmother want to kill her?" Mimmy asks, sadly.
"Sadly, it's because the queen was jealous of Snow White's own beauty, and is jealous. The queen is beautiful herself, but she only goes as deep as her skin, and is a very wicked woman," Blitz says. "Luckily, Snow White found a cottage that belonged to seven dwarfs. Learning of her situation, the dwarfs decide to let Snow White stay with them."
"Sometime tells me there's more to the story than just that…" Octavia suspects.
Blitz nods, "Exactly."
"Can you read us the story now?" Mimmy asks, eagerly.
"Sure sweetie," Blitz says.
He then opens the book and begins to read the story, "Once upon a time, in a kingdom far away. This kingdom was ruled by a kind and good king, and his beautiful gentle wife as his queen. The citizens of the kingdom love their rulers and they have everything they can ask for. All except one, and that was a child of their very own. They pray and pray, hoping that one day they will have their wish. And one day, the queen gave birth to a beautiful girl, whose skin is a white as snow, and named her Snow White. Sadly, sometime after the little princess was born, the queen died of an illness, and the king soon remarried. The new queen was truly beautiful, but her beauty goes as deep as her skin. She was a wicked and cruel woman, and cannot stand anyone or anything being more beautiful than she is. Her most precious possession is a magical mirror who spoke the absolute truth. Each day, she looked into the magic mirror and asked, 'Mirror Mirror on the Wall. Who in this land is fairest of all. And each time, the magic mirror answered, 'The most beautiful in this land is you, your majesty.' As the years went by the kingdom prospered and Snow White has grown to be a beautiful young lady, with her hair black as night, red lips as the rose, and skin as white as snow, but the beauty within her is the most beautiful. Then one day…"
Story World in Mimmy's imagination:
It shows a beautiful kingdom along with a lovely castle. There are many guards and servants around the castle and courtyard. Outside in the castle courtyard, it is full of statues, plants, trees, a large fountain, and even a lake.
Among them in Mimmy's imagination, Blitz is in it, but is dressed as a prince. A prince named Blitz Snow. Blitz is wearing black pants and wears a red shirt with white sleeves, and a white collar. He is also wearing a red cape with a yellow clip tied, and black boots.
Blitz Snow is a kind and gentle Prince who is loved by all his subjects.
One of the servants says, "Blitz Snow will make a wonderful king one of these days, he cares about everyone in the kingdom."
"And he is very intelligent, skilled, and hard working. I envy the lucky person who marries him one day," The guard says.
Blitz Snow continues to walk around the courtyard as he is greeted by many animals. Blitz is so kind and beautiful that everyone loves him.
All except one, watching over Blitz Snow from her balcony is the evil queen, Stellestia. In Mimmy's mind, the evil queen looks a lot like Stella, wearing a crown on her head, and wears an elegant and beautiful dress, perfect for the queen. She is very beautiful, but is wicked and cruel, and grows bitter to see the attention Blitz Snow is getting. She scoffs and walks back into her room.
She then walks to her magical mirror.
She then asks, "Mirror Mirror on the wall, who in this land is fairest of all?"
The magic mirror glows a bit to reveal Randall inside the mirror. Well, mainly Randall's head and hands. In Mimmy's mind, he plays the magical mirror.
The magic mirror sighs and says, "Again? No offense queenie, but can't you ask a better question? You've asked who is the fairest of all for years. How about asking if there's a good looking king for you to get hitched to?"
"I don't need to hear your complaining mirror," Stellestia angrily says as she rolls her eyes. She calms herself, "Now then, answer my question, who in this land is fairest of all?"
"Yeah yeah," The mirror says, rolling his eyes, "You are indeed very beautiful, really beautiful babe." with a grin on his face.
The queen rolls her eyes and says, "Just answer the question.
"Yeah yeah, I'm getting to that," The mirror says, "However, there is one who managed to claim that title. And that is Blitz Snow."
"Excuse me?" Stellestia questions with a frown, "Care to repeat that?"
"Alright let me make it clear, snowflake," The magic mirror says, "Blitz Snow has claimed the number one spot in the land. In other words, Blitz Snow is more beautiful than you are, toots."
"BLITZ SNOW?!" Queen Stellestia exclaims in anger, "What does that little Imp Prince got that I haven't got?"
"Besides horns…" The mirror points out.
The queen angrily says, "Be serious, Mirror!"
"Alright alright, keep your crown and feathers on. Let me make this clear," The mirror says, "You are beautiful, but yours is only by your outer beauty. Meanwhile, Blitz Snow, besides having good looks himself, his beauty mainly comes from in his heart. And that is more than enough to surpass your kind of beauty, huh babe."
The vain queen marches away in pure anger, and resents Blitz Snow for being more beautiful than she is.
She grabs a vase and throws it to the ground as she screams, "IT'S NOT FAIR!" And then clenches her fists, "He wasn't supposed to be smarter and fairest than me! Well then, I know just to take care of this problem. Let's see how Blitz Snow is fairest when he's DEAD!"
And that night, the queen decides to set her evil plan in motion.
The queen is sitting on her throne with a huntsman who is bowing before her. In Mimmy's mind, Sarge plays the role of the huntsman, Sir Ryder. He also has a dagger along with a bow and arrow on his back.
"Now then, Sir Ryder, I have a very crucial mission for you," The queen says.
"Yes your majesty," Sir Ryder says.
"I want you to take Blitz Snow to the deepest part of the forest. And once you know that he's far away and no one in sight, you will kill him," The Queen says.
Sir Ryder questions calmly, but inside, he is stunned, "You're majesty, are you certain of this? The little Prince is your stepson after all, and the king's only heir."
"Oh I certainly do, and you know what happens if you fail. I strongly suggest you carry out these orders or else?" Queen Stellestia says with a deep frown on her face.
Sir Ryder sighs in defeat, "Yes your majesty."
"And to be certain that you do not fail and I know that he is dead, I want you to bring me his heart, in this," The queen says and holds out a small cyan blue, icy blue, and white color box.
The next day…
Sir Ryder does what Queen Stellestia has command and takes Blitz deep in the forest where no one will see them.
"Sir Ryder, where are we going? You seem pretty urgent for me to head into the woods," Blitz Snow asks.
"Nothing too serious. I simply want to show you about a secret part of the forest I know," Sir Ryder says.
"Really?" Blitz Snow asks, taking an interest.
"Yes. It's a beautiful clearing with a very large waterfall nearby. There are also some apple trees and raspberry bushes as well. So there will be a lot of animals around," Sir Ryder says with a smile.
The two continue to walk deeper and deeper into the forest. And soon enough, they reach the large clearing that Sir Ryder has told him about. Blitz Snow is astonished to witness the view of the clearing, and it's everything like Sir Ryder describes. They're even so many different animals like birds, deers, bees, and other animals.
"Wow. This place is beautiful," Blitz Snow says amazed.
"Indeed. With so many apples and raspberries. I'm sure the cook could make some delicious pies," Sir Ryder says.
Blitz Snow holds him a few baskets, "It's good that I brought some baskets. I'm sure the cook would love to see the berries. But don't worry, it will be our secret."
Blitz Snow then begins to pick some of the berries and apples as he hums a tune. Some of the animals also assist him in picking the fruits and berries from the trees and bushes. Sir Ryder watches as Blitz Snow picks the fruits and berries as he humming a song, it's enough to make him smile. However, he is saddened to remember his orders to the queen. Sir Ryder then hides behind the trees and bushes, and sets his bow and arrow to take the shot to kill Blitz Snow. The queen's orders continue to cloud his mind, and to see the smile on the Imp Prince's face is causing him to be very reluctant. And soon, Sarge lowers his bow and arrow in regret and places them along with his knife down on the ground. He just… can't carry the queen's order… especially if it's costing the prince's life.
After placing his weapons down, Sir Ryder walks towards Blitz Snow with regret and sadness.
He calmly says, "Blitz Snow."
"Sir Ryder…? Are you okay?" Blitz Snow asks, concerned.
Sir Ryder then bows to Blitz Snow, "No… it's not. I apologize for deceiving you. I hope that you find it in your heart to forgive me."
"What do you mean?" Blitz Snow asks.
"The queen commanded me to kill you, your highness," Sir Ryder answers.
Blitz Snow is shocked, "Did you kill me?!"
And with that, Sir Ryder explains to Blitz now the whole story, how the queen wanted Blitz Snow dead so she can be the most beautiful, the plan on how to do it, and proof of the prince's death.
"I see… what a terrible thing for her to do," Blitz Snow says, sadly.
"I'm afraid so," Sir Ryder says.
"I always have a feeling she didn't like me this much, but I never could have imagined my own step mother would ask for this. I'm sorry you were forced to carry out those orders," Blitz Snow says.
Sir Ryder stands up and says, "Please your highness, you must run away. The queen is mad, wicked, vain, and envious. She'll stop at nothing to see you dead. You must run from the kingdom and never return."
"But what about you? You know what happens if you…" Blitz Snow asks in concern.
But Sir Ryder reassures, "Do not worry, I have a plan. The queen wanted me to bring her some proof, so I know what I can do with it."
"Thank you Sir Ryder. I couldn't thank you enough for sparing my life," Blitz Snow says, "Good bye. I'll miss you."
And with that, Blitz Snow runs off into the woods, never to return to the kingdom again. Sir Ryder watches as the young prince runs away as fast as he can and prays that the prince can live a long life. And now, for him to carry out his plan to fool the queen.
Blitz Snow continues to run deeper and deeper in the dark forest. The forest is so dark and scary that he is refusing to stop. Tears begin to fall down his face because he knows that he can never see his friends from the palace again.
Time has gone by, and Blitz Snow soon finds himself somewhere deep in the forest. After all that running, Blitz Snow is deeply exhausted and collapses to the ground with his back leaning against the tree.
"That forest was very frightening, and I'm so tired. I need to find a place to rest for the night," Blitz Snow says to himself.
Blitz Snow soon looks ahead and notices a beautiful cottage in the middle of the woods. There is a stump with an axe attached to it, and a pile of wood aside. Along with a well with a bucket attached to a rope. There's even a small river that has a small bridge over it.
"I don't believe it. A house in the middle of the woods," Blitz Snow says, surprised, but is soon relieved, "Maybe someone can let me stay there for the night."
Blitz Snow walks over to the cabin and knocks on the door, "Hello, is anyone there…"
However, no one answers.
Blitz Snow knocks on the door again, "Hello, can I come in?"
Again, no one answers. Blitz Snow then opens the door and calls out, "Excuse me, can I come in?"
Sadly, no one is home. But he can tell that it belongs to someone, there's a table full of food with seven little chairs.
"I'm so starving, but it will be rude if I take some of his food," Blitz Snow says to himself.
He then says to himself, "I know. I can take a little bit on each plate and it will be enough for the time being."
And with that, Blitz Snow takes small pieces from each plate. He hasn't eaten since that morning and he feels hungry. Once he's finished his snack, Blitz Snow decides to explore the little cottage, and is surprised that everything is so small.
And soon, Blitz Snow finds a staircase, "Huh. I wonder if anyone is upstairs."
Blitz Snow then walks up the stairs and into the single door. He opens the door to reveal a large room with seven small beds as well.
"Huh. Seven Chairs, Seven Beds, Seven of everything. I guess it would mean that there's seven people living in this house. I have to suspect it must belong to a family at some point, including a lot of children," Blitz Snow says.
He then lets out a yawn, "I could really use some sleep after my travels through the woods."
Blitz Snow looks at the seven beds and sees how small they are, and not enough room for him to sleep on. And then an idea comes to him. Blitz Snow then pushes three beds together to make one big bed. And soon enough, Blitz Snow is now sleeping in the bed and is able to rest peacefully after the day he has.
A couple of hours passed after Blitz Snow decides to rest, the owners of the house are coming home. In Mimmy's mind, Moxxie, Millie, Loona, Octavia, Drew, and Berry, including herself, are all the little workers who have traveled back from the mines. In fact, all of them are shore, some of them look like little children. Each of them has mining tools and bags full of beautiful crystals.
Soon, Moxxie, or Mox says, "Hold on, everyone stop."
Everyone comes to a stop.
"What's all that about?" Loona, or rather, Lune, asks, confused.
Mox says, "Look, the door is left open."
Everyone looks shocked and confused to see the door is left open. They all put their gears down and walk inside. To their shock, they notice some bites of their food are missing on the table, and one of the tables isn't put back in its place.
Lune says, shocked, "Hey, someone has been sitting in my chair."
"And someone has been eating our food," Millie, or rather, Mills says.
Octavia, also named Via, says, "You're right, some of the bread, ham, cheese, and even a little bit of the soup are gone."
Mimmy, also called Mims, says, "But who could have done it?"
Berry, called Barry, says, "Maybe someone is trying to steal our money or even the crystals."
"I'm not sure," Drew, also named Dren, says, "But it doesn't look like anything has been taken."
"You have a point," Mox replies, "Maybe someone is just tired and hungry, and just wants to find a play to stay for a little."
"Maybe, but they should have just asked," Mills says.
Suddenly, they hear a sound coming from the upper floors.
"What was that?" Via asks, worried.
Barry climbs up a few steps and says, "We should go check it out. I think someone is up there."
And with that, all seven of the demons slowly walk up the stairs and into the doorway of their room. To their surprise, they find that they have an unexpected guest sleeping in three of their beds.
"I wonder who he is," Barry replies.
"How did he get here?" Via asks.
"How did he find our house?" Lune questions.
Seeing Blitz Snow's appearance, Mimms says, "He's really lovely."
"Well, judging by the attire he's wearing, I have to assume that this gentleman must be a prince," Mox says.
"Are you sure?" Via asks.
"It's only a theory, but it seems possible," Mox says.
"I betcha he's lost," Mills says.
"What do we do?" Lune asks.
"I think it will be best that we let him sleep for the night. We'll find out more in the morning," Mox says.
The seven demons decide to be generous and let him sleep in the three beds, while the rest double up for the night. Mox and Mills are sleeping in one bed. Dren and Barry are sleeping on another. Lune is sleeping by herself, and Mimms and Via, because they're small, sleep in the same bed. Luckily, they're all sound sleepers so they're able to sleep peacefully for the night.
The next day, the demons are up bright and early.
And soon enough, Blitz Snow begins to wake up. When he slowly opens his eyes, he looks to see the seven demons looking down towards him.
Lune, Mimms, and Via happily say, "Good morning!"
"Rise and shine!" Mills happily says.
Blitz Snow quickly gets, "It's morning already. I only closed my eyes to take a nap. I'm sorry for intruding into your house without permission."
"It's quite alright. We didn't mind at all," Mox says.
He then says, "Allow us to introduce ourselves, I'm Mox."
"Mills," Mills says.
"Dren," Dren replies.
Barry says, "Barry."
"Lune," Lune replies.
"Via," Via happily says.
"And I'm Mimms," Mimms happily says.
Then Mox asks, "And now then, how about you tell us your name?"
"My name is Blitz Snow," Blitz Snow says.
"Blitz Snow!" Mox exclaimed in surprise.
The others are just as surprised, "The Prince!"
"Yes," Blitz Snow answers with a nod.
The Seven Demons are astonished to see that they are meeting the prince himself, and he is in their home.
Then Mox is surprised, but smiles, "Well uh, your highness, this was a real surprise."
But then Dren asks, ""But what are you doing here? You're very far from home."
Soon enough, at the dining table, Blitz Snow tells the seven demons his whole story, and they all feel sorry for him.
"Oh you poor prince. Are you really sure this is all because of your step mother?" Barry asks.
"Yes," Blitz Snow asks.
"I think we should go over there and teach that witch a lesson," Lune says.
"I think that idea is ill advised. She has too many armed guards. We'll be risking our necks," Moxxie says.
"So then, what can we do?" Mills asks.
Via turns to Blitz Snow, "Do you have any relatives?"
"Yeah, do you have any relatives out of the kingdom who you can stay with?" Mimms asks.
Blitz Snow shakes his head in response.
Then Mox suggests, "Well then, maybe you can stay with us?"
"Really?" Blitz Snow asks, happily.
"Yeah. We actually have a guest room on the first floor so we have room," Mills says.
"And maybe you can help us around the house?" Barry asks.
"You won't mind helping us out, do you?" Dren asks.
"I don't mind. I can actually cook and clean, and have chores as well," Blitz Snow says.
"Really?" Lune asks, interested.
"Can you really cook?" Mimms asks.
"Of course," Blitz Snow answers.
"Well then, everything is settled. Blitz Snow, I speak for all of us that you can stay with us as long as you wish," Mox says.
Blitz Snow happily says, "Thank you."
Sometime later, after breakfast, the seven demons are heading off to work.
"Have a good day, Blitz Snow," Mox says.
"And we'll be back in time for dinner," Mills says.
"Right," Blitz Snow says.
"And remember to have a little fun and don't work too hard," Barry says.
"Okay," Blitz Snow says.
And with that, the Seven Demons take their leave and head off to work. With the demons gone, Blitz Snow begins to work on the house chores, sweeping, dusting, mopping, laundry, and all kinds of cleaning. Once he's done cleaning, Blitz decides to take a break, and is able to find some books to read. He then starts cleaning a little more after a while, and starts cooking dinner.
Back at the queen's castle, Queen Stellestia is holding the box that supposedly contains Blitz Snow's heart.
The queen turns to the mirror and asks, "Mirror Mirror on the wall. Now that Blitz Snow is no more, who in this land is fairest of all."
The magic mirror's face appears, "In the land, it's definitely you snow queen."
"Oh stop with the names," The queen says, rolling her eyes.
"Yeah yeah. Don't have a cow," The mirror says.
"Well then, now that the wretched foolish Blitz Snow is gone, I won't have to see his face again," The queen says, and looks at the box, "And I have his heart as proof."
The mirror snickers, "Well, he's not the only one who is foolish."
That catches the queen's attention.
"What do you mean by that?" Queen Stellestia questions. And then demands, "Speak up, tell me!"
"Well your icy majesty, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but even though you're the fairest in the land. However, living with the seven demons, deep in the forest, Blitz Snow is the fairest of all," The mirror says.
"Impossible. The huntsman killed the prince himself. He even had Blitz Snow's heart delivered to me as proof," The queen angrily says, and holds out the box.
"Yeah… no… that's not what happened. What you have in the box right now is the heart of a boar. In other words, you've been played like a complete fool. Sir Ryder faked it all. Blitz Snow is alive and loved by the seven demons and living as far away from you as possible," The mirror says.
That deeply upsets the queen and is furious, "I don't believe this! So Blitz Snow is still out there somewhere and is still the fairest! That idiot huntsman can't do this to me. Well if I want something done right, I'll have to get rid of Blitz Snow MYSELF!" and growls in pure anger and in pure jealousy.
