One day before the Festival under the Hallow Fields at the Grand Duke Beelzebub’s territories, with the permission from the demon lord of Gluttony himself, Maleficent together with Gukasho and Frankenstein traveled to the Rancid City. This time, they used the magic carriage rather than moving through the shadows in consideration for what happened at Cent the last time she used the portal made of shadow arts.
The moment she arrived at the buzzing capital city of the Nether World, hundreds of Slaughter butterflies were released behind Gukasho and Frankenstein’s back – for espionage and information gathering, though one butterfly was sent to deliver a message. Hunger, on the other hand, stayed inside her shadow

Strong yet slender fingers were cold against the sizzling body of Maleficent. Her slaughter butterflies fluttered around her upon sensing her distress, their fangs that were ready to devour showed and glinted against the dark corner of the back alley he pulled her into. Cent’s body became rigid as she felt the hot breath of the proprietor against her slender neck which was exposed when her hair turned upside down with the commotion. Her glowing green eyes glowed like embers sheen that startled the bystanders that were about to come – something that she did not want to happen.Help me here, you idiots!“Umph! Hmph!” With glowing green eyes and hair that flung everywhere while her limbs flailed as she tried to reach out for the cowering zombies – the idiotic zo

A wave of azure hue engulfed Cent and Damon who were waiting for the spell to activate around their beating heart. But the cold yet comfortable wisp of unfamiliar magic intertwined with the hexagram around the two Halflings, eliciting a gasp full of wonder from Cent. “Stop playing and get this thing out!” Damon yelled again, his breath fanned over her head that made Cent scrunched her face with annoyance. Cent kicked his leg with all her might. “Hey, shut it!” Upon realizing that he was talking to someone else like a lunatic, Cent clicked her tongue as she glared openly at him – which he also met with equal fervent. Cent continued, “Are you going loco, huh? Stop yelling and accept that you’re dying with me.” Damon was about to retort wh

Lanterns made up of green paper were being lit one by one. The once barren Hallow Fields filled with dead trees turned into a vast scene of greenery the moment that the Grand Duke Beelzebub swung his hand around the area. Leaf by leaf, life sprouted around Maleficent as she stood at the middle of the miracle with an agape expression – her head kept on turning for she did not want to lose the chance to capture the magic unfold.Gukasho, who was standing behind Cent and her father, spoke with pride oozing from his goblin voice. “This is the festival of the Hallow fields, my lady. Once a year, the barren land right in front of the grand duke’s chambers will come to life.” His fist-size eyes wandered as well, Gukasho could never be tired of this beautiful scenery that was not supposed to exist even for a few moments inside the wretched Nether world.Cent, too tongue-tied to reply at Gukasho, only nodd

Chocolate-colored spiky hair stood alert as his lilac eyes were coldly looking into the void, Levi’s tails were swirling – ready to attack if necessary. Fists clenched and jaws ticking, his aura caused the servants to tiptoe around him since he clearly showed that he did not want to be disturbed. Levi stood at the main receiving area’s balcony of their mansion while waiting. Levi was taking a huge risk. He did not know why all of his instincts wanted him to bend the knee to a newly pledged Halfling. For a centuries-old Halfling like him, the thought of submitting to someone younger should be a laughing matter but even his Basilisk was eerily silent. Ever since the incident with the angel, Angelo, Levi saw how the holy fire was nothing against the sleepy Maleficent as the latter killed the angel in one blink without an ounce of remorse. His first thought was to make her his, to use her at his disposal, but all of his thoughts were all for n

The infernal flames crawled from the frozen ground to the horizon. The light that it emitted raised Levi’s hackles. Standing like a mountain at the apex of the backyard with nothing but piles of ash surrounding the dark figure that breathed fumes, its presence spoke nothing but disaster. Gone were the beautiful ice skating rink made for Hestia and the sculpted ice statues that decorated every nook and cranny of the backyard, replaced by the chaos that swallowed Hestia’s favorite place.The anguished screams were dying down as Levi witnessed their servants being burned alive, turning into a pile of ash from being a chunk of flesh. The rancid smell of flesh being roasted elicited his gag reflex. He lived for centuries already, but this was his first time to see the very scene that mortals used when describing hell also known as the Nether World &ndas

“Ah! It’s good to be back.” Maleficent stretched her arms. Her back arched against the plush sofa located at the very corner of Sinner’s Café. Sitting adjacent to her seat, Matilda the rotting zombie, was feasting the café’s trendy cupcake.The cupcake was called ‘Devil’s Cupcake’, touché. Of course it would suit in the menu given that the name of the café was Sinner’s Café located near the boundary of the Malevolent Dormitories and Ambivalent Dormitories. The bounty river separated the lush lands of the beings loved by nature and the forsaken grounds of the beings that loved destruction – at its center, though still located at the borderlines of the Forsaken Lands under the Malevolent Dormitory, a lively two storey hut that was wrapped with crawling vines stood. Jack-o-lanterns littered the pathway made of broken cobblestones as if it the hu

The flapping of the wings as it landed swiftly onto the graveyard echoed, disturbing the eerie silence that always engulfed the dorm rooms of the zombies inside the Malevolent Dormitories. The thick fog scattered the moment that the horned being landed with a thud. The graves around the noise started to move and one by one, limbs started to appear from the soil with one purpose in their zombie mind – to admonish the proprietor of the disturbance but stopped midway upon seeing the pair of glowing green eyes that symbolized only one thing, Glutton Demon Lord. Only this time, it was the beloved daughter of the Grand Duke Beelzebub, who pulled every string to protect his daughter from the Trilateral Court. The onlookers retreated to their graves, leaving the newly arrived beings.“Here.” Maleficent handed Matilda a small paper bag with the logo of the Sinner’s Café. She took it swiftly from her shadow that s

Having a date with a set of black coffee and cookies at the middle of Sunday was fun-fucking-tastic for Maleficent who was plagued with a series of tiring events that dried the heck out of her wits end. Now, she could finally take a day off to herself where no red flags involved and that went without saying. For someone who once lived at the apex of a buzzing mortal city, she was quite used to the constant rumbling of Nimbus clouds around her and the occasional thunderclaps with a series of blinking lightning zaps in tow. Clad in her black lacey chemise minus her usual stockings and eyeliner, Cent let herself be immersed of enjoying her simmering black coffee while reading the Holy Grail book which would make her father flip if he saw her. Her bare feet curled against the cold tiled floor, a cluster of shadow hovering over her acted as her umbrella against the harsh downpour of rain that always whipped the Hous

Maleficent stared at the gates of the Transylvania Academy. A pair of black dragon-like wings folded behind her as she landed a few meters before her alma mater. She did not know why, but it felt like a long time since she was here yet in reality it was only a few weeks.She could still remember the first time she saw this school, she did not think that she would value this place so much. Maleficent never thought that she would treat this academy as a place closest to home. For the past years of her life, even though she grew up in a foster home, Maleficent could not sense any sense of belong there – not until she met the people she grew to care about in Transylvania Academy.That was why, in that illusion, she was able to see the light at the end of a seemingly endless loop of despair. The shackles of the past? She was already free from it. All thanks to those who trusted her, cared for her, and loved her despite the horns and gigantic wings.For those who trusted Maleficent despite

Before Maleficent 's mind shatter to the endless stream of torment, a warm aura enveloped her curling and shaking body. Like a cocoon of protection, it soothed her mind, body, and soul.Though ethereal, Maleficent was familiar with the warmth being emitted from the crimson-colored aura around her. With teary eyes, Maleficent stopped shaking and screaming words of helplessness and profanities."Sshh.. Stop crying, little Halfling." A deep and warm voice vibrated within her, muting the wicked one. The voice continued, "Remember, amidst the painful memories you have, you have bright ones as well. For every step you take back you forward thrice the distance from the past. Why? Because you have us and we have you. You are not alone anymore.""I.. I am not alone anymore?" "Remember... Where you surrender yourself to this prince. Like I said, there will be no going back. The moment you accepted me, there is no more turning back... little Halfling."Where I surrender myself?Flashback...“I

"Stop it! Stop this!" Maleficent was now hysterical. Even with her efforts to stop the wicked voice from spewing nonsense in her mind over and over again. "Stop spouting nonsense!""Hehehe! What nonsense? All chatters of these are facts! They are flashbacks from your memories!""You're right. These are all memories so it is now part of my past." There was now a hint of strength in Maleficent's voice."Foolish woman indeed! Hahaha! You... You will feel that familiar sense of loss and pain once more, Daughter of Greed!"Maleficent's heart pounded which immediately dimmed the small ray of light for Maleficent. "Wha-What do you mean?""Like what happened to that time when you almost that Halfling Prince, you will feel that helplessness and fear and sorrow once more sooner than later! But this time, you will lose him for eternity! Hahaha!"Flashback..Maleficent was too fixated on using her ability as the wielder of the darkness that she stupidly failed to realize the dwindling state of he

"My father knows why I did that! You can't brainwash me!" Maleficent the Glutton found her strength as she stood. Her gaze followed the swirling black smoke around her. "He won't abandon me!""Ting! Ting! Ting! You are wrong again! Haven't you remember? He once abandoned you! Hahahaha! Foolish girl!"Flashback... “Please, leave me alone,” said the Halfling, “I…I don’t want to see you anymore. So please, throw away all the guilt that you have in your heart and know that for a short period of time, you made me feel the emotions I thought I would die without.” The Halfling cleared her throat as if a lump was lodged in it before she continued. “Please respect my decision.” On cue, the torches that littered the prison cell were engulfed by a cluster of shadow for a fraction of a minute, deeming the entire prison cell for a small period of time that it was almost unnoticeable. People would believe that it was the grand duke who lost his composure during his visit, but Damon the prideful

Maleficent shook her head. Both of her hands were now covering her ears yet it did not lessen the malicious whispers that seemed to resonate within her mind — within her soul."You are a child of misfortune!""Your existence is a mistake!""Maleficent, you are a child of disaster. No. You are the disaster yourself. You bring pain wherever you go!"Hot tears continued to trickle down Maleficent's chin as she closed her eyes tightly while shaking her head profusely. "No! You're wrong! I still have father!""Fool! You are your father's greatest heartache! He regrets that he brought you back from the mortal world!"Flashback...Grand Duke Beelzebub the Glutton lost the will to live the moment he thought he lost his wife. His misery did not lessen when he had to let go of his daughter and watched her grew up from the sidelines as one of her shadows. He had foolishly thought that it would all soon go away the moment he would take her from the wretched mortal world – or so he thought. He fai

"When you died, you angered the heavenly law!"A frown painted on Maleficent's face as she watched the image of Damon vanished once more, replaced by a dark smoke swirling around her. "Why? How did I anger the heavens?"A vicious laughter resonated within Maleficent's sea of consciousness. "Fool! You just took an archangel from the heavens!"Flashback...SELAPHIEL, a newly bloomed fallen angel, quivered upon the howl of sorrow that she had heard amid the cackles of the thunderstorm that loomed the entire Rancid City. Perhaps it was guilt that made her froze rather than to race to where the sound was coming from. It was as clear as the lightning bolt that littered the darkened skies of the Nether World who screamed those anguished laden screams. The disparity dripped from every letter of the word he cried from the top of his lungs.“Maleficent, my baby girl…” Translucent droplets fell from her eyes as her chest tightened upon the very thought of losing her child before she could even h

Maleficent the Glutton, who was now tugging her horn while tears trickled down her face, willed herself to stand up from being slumped."No... I will protect my parents so that... So that nothing will happen to them." Though Maleficent's voice was barely a whisper, it was filled with determination.But a mocking voice resonated in the darkness once again. This time, it did not belong to Maleficent's mother's voice but from Damon!"Liar! You died because you are weak! So how can you protect us?"Flashback...“Indeed. Farewell.” Maleficent whispered. On cue, a roaring sound elicited from behind him before he was taken by the looming shadow of the gigantic winged serpent.After her last two words, the entire arena had turned into one extensive domain for Maleficent. Her emerald eyes glowed more than ever at that exact moment; the song of battle cries echoed from her mouth as she screamed, flipping her position. Now, she was the one sitting atop the shell-shocked Gabriel the Faithful.“Di

Lost in a train wreck of vicious thoughts whispered by the man called Steffan along with the cries of Maleficent 's mortal victims, the Glutton heir started to crumble."I... I have my family..." Maleficent, though it was a whisper, tried her earnest to fight the malevolent thoughts that wreck havoc in her mind.But a mocking laughter echoed within Maleficent's mind that made her freeze. It was not the malicious laughter that made her stop from her tracks, rather, it was the familiarity of the voice.On cue, Steffan's face turned to a silhouette of Aurora — Maleficent's mother. Gone was the warmth in her eyes as she glared at the shell-shocked Maleficent."How do you know that I am genuine with your fickle family obsession, dear daughter?" "N-No way...""I did it once. What's stopping me to do it one more time?"FLASHBACK…“That? That w-woman is my mother?” With widened eyes, shivers wracked her body as if a bucket of cold water splashed her rigid standing form. The glowing embers of

"What I want? I want you to remember that a sinner like you is not allowed to feel any emotion but fear. Think of it as a payment for all the lives you carelessly took back when you were at the Mortal's Realm, Maleficent."With one statement, it sucked Maleficent the invisible shield of her title as Maleficent the Glutton as if she was back to what she was before she met her father.Flashback 3:THE STALE colors of her ceiling welcomed her when she woke up briskly. Her ragged breathing and her sweat-covered shin were not a new thing for Cent. She spent her seventeenth year dreaming as if she was being chased by something ominous only to wake up abruptly when a pair of large flaming hands engulfed her. This vicious cycle became a regular thing for her since she celebrated her seventeenth birthday. And now, with her eighteenth birthday just two days from today, her nightmare became longer and hotter in a sense as if she was soaked to be boiled.Glancing at the alarm clock on her side ta
