The two little fairies were shocked, but Zaya was less so than Waspy. The latter picked up a finger and a piece of perforated board and put it in her inventory.Waspy: We have to tell the principal. There's been a massacre!

Zaya: "They must have sinned and Tyrant must have punished them, as he will do for you!""And then, help me put some magic powder on the cart, we'll fly it to our village..."Waspy: "What if our village suffers the same fate..."

Zaya: "So it's you. With your experiments with fairy dust. You're the one who's blowing up this village. You've already blown up your kennel...""But are you sick? What do you have in your head? Honey?""Hmph.."I'm going to... "wait...look.."A huge trace on the ground..The fairy took a little altitude. Tracks... hugeZaya could only confirm... Waspy: It is a huge beast... it is insane. It has... has... Devoured ? No way!..."

Zaya: "How can you say something like that? Nobody eats anybody. We all feed on sun, moon, dew and nectar... like all the beings Tyrant created in this world..."Waspy. "But you see the drops of blood... they go to the rising sun..."Waspy wanted to know for sure.She took her wings and went to see, following the drops on the leaves. "The creature must be flying. the drops are spaced out. "Zaya followed, angry that once again Waspy was taking personal initiative while she was being punished.Zaya was more her supervisor than a "friend" or to help her with her task.Then, exasperated by the other fairy's bad mood...

"Zaya... my mission is to find out WHY the supplies aren't coming in, not to bring back the supplies!

But Zaya was afraid, not wanting to admit it to herself and hid behind the rules to avoid danger. On the horizon, an area of the forest could be seen on fire. The forest fire. The fear of all fairies.... and the wood was dry...They had to cast a rain spell... but the flames were huge, and covered a large area.In front of them, an impassable wall of flames.The fire must have been several kilometers long. The forest was lost.

Waspy: "Quick! the nymphs! the undines! we must ask them for help."They then dove toward the river that formed a shallow lake.The fairies howled at the undines to make the rain fall.The flames were licking the sky and they had to beware of the hot air currents that would reduce their beautiful wings to nothing in a flash!

Zaya "We have to land and tuck our wings in, they will catch fire.They started to walk on the water but the sight was frightening.Wooden elves were running on fire, carrying the fire even further. They screamed in pain and all fell to the ground.

Thousands of small flaming twigs added fireworks to the fire show.The wind roared inside and a rare but extremely destructive phenomenon was born: a fire tornado.

The tornado was now overhanging the river and the animals and magical beings that had taken refuge there were sucked in and set on fire in turn.

Roasted deer fell at the feet of the little fairies, helpless.

Then... with horror, undines floated, dead, their backs burned, and often torn. Pieces.The village of the undines...was destroyed too.

The water was gone... and their underwater village torn apart.Again... the same traces... 3 huge fingers with traces, lines... talons?

Waspy: "Did you see the size?"

Zaya: "Yes... forget what I told you..."

But Waspy took an arm of the shredded undine and put it in his inventory.A cooked horned rabbit was also taken

.Zaya: "We're going home. We have to warn the village and the kingdom about the fire!"

They turned around and raced up the hills, rivers and canyons separating them from the fire. There was nothing they could do. It was out of their reach.

Two days later, the reception was cold.The principal with her gray hair in a bun was waiting with the other fairies for the return of the two "problem" fairies.

It was the evening. Lanterns with magic powder lit up the village and the interior of the huge tree.If it was Christmas, it would have looked like a huge lit tree, but it was huts and little house.

Everything looked like a party but it was far from being one.The few emotions that the fairies had compensated for their diligence in their work and also reduced their boredom. Thus the world was like "frozen" in a perpetual motion where each day looked like the previous one.

"FIRE... FIRE!!! "

The fire tornado screamed the two fairies...

"What are you talking about? "

Zaya: "The world is burning!! the gnome village of the setting sun is destroyed... "

"Nonsense! Lazy! Waspy's foolishness has rubbed off on you?"

Waspy knelt down...no! smell. "

You smell the burn and..and.. "

She pointed to the shredded hand and a gnome's finger...The fairies screamed in horror.

"Have you gone mad? Waspy... how could you? This is blasphemy!"

Zaya: "No, Principal... I have a piece of wood. The houses are punctured, torn apart...The bodies too but they are missing. And they were like gathered and there was a pool of blood. Purple blood!"

The principal frowned at the fairy: "You killed them with your powder that goes boom!"

Zaya: "No. She's weird but she was with me the whole time!... But we saw huge tracks on the ground, like from a big animal!

There was a trail of blood and we followed the tracks and ...."

Waspy threw the half Ondine to the ground, torn apart....The fairies vomited honey....The principal turned pale...

Zaya: "The animals were roasted and the tracks..."

Then the burnt deer and rabbit were also put down...Then the principal turned pale...The fairies were angry with Waspy..

."Zaya... You ... you will search for the cargo...."

"But... Main...fire!.??"

"This is your last chance!..."

She lowered her eyes. accepting the punishment. Terrible.

"Yes, principal. I obey!"

"Well...as you have been a model all these years, I close my eyes on your 'adventure'"

Then his gaze became impassive towards Waspi.

"Fairy Waspi... You are banished from the village...but also from the kingdom. May Tyrant have mercy on you. "

Then each fairy took a pebble and threw it at the fairy's head.

"But... I didn't do anything!...Why? You are my family! My sisters?"

Principal: "You are going against our ancestral rules. Through your curiosity, you have developed a disease of the emotions. Your disobedience coupled with your horrible nature and the fact that you were born from a larva but not from moon magic proves the rightness of our decision. Nobody wants you here. You don't belong here. You are disrupting our way of life. Disappear!"

Tears burst from her eyes. She looked at Zaya.

"Are you like them?"

And Zaya took a stone and threw it hard. Some mana in it scratched her friend's cheek.The others did the same and, having to run away from the blows, she had to leave the village by flying away.But in her heart she thought that she would prove herself right!And she returned to the gnome village.Zaya went too.Meanwhile, I was at the end of the fire tornado.It was sucking up all sorts of magical creatures and I just had to open my mouth to get my "plancha" of forest fruits into my mouth.

As for the rabbits and bambis, it was steak on stone. Cooked to perfection!I was enjoying fire, meat, blood and mana. The ondines tasted... yes... like rosé! A good vintage!

The fact that the creatures had an incredible flavor excited me and like a chain reaction, motivated me even more in this Dantean feast.

I could have felt remorse. Destroying beings, creatures, but the truth was even darker. Even though I was getting tired of this feast, of this violence, I really had to kill as many as possible.

The reason was not entirely clear but I had impressions, intuitions and they had never deceived me.

I returned from my feast, and ... oh ... surprise, as I flew over the destroyed gnome village, I saw two creatures chasing each other.

My mouth watered.They looked like flying children... They must have been fairies... How did it taste?

"Cabal... don't shoot... I'll capture some more fruit".

"Zaya... wait. Let me explain..."

"You are banned. I am not allowed to talk to you. Disappear...."

But she could not finish her sentence.The shadow fell on them. Breathless.

Not having had time to react. They were in my clutches.I was about to bring the brown fairy to my mouth when I heard

"Please!"

I was shocked. The other one just whimpered, flailed and screamed like cattle.

I was flying fast and the flapping and snapping of wings interrupted the deathly silence that accompanied my journey.One of the fairies was crying, the other one was screaming. Then I had an artistic idea...The fairies smelled the flower but especially the honeycomb...

FLAP... FLAP...

We were approaching the volcano.

Twisted and squeezed between my claws, Waspy could see the landscape from above, higher than she had ever flown and could see the sky of fire, as for the forest fire.

The creature that held her was unknown and she had never seen one. But the talons were huge! The scales were sharp and especially my teeth... huge. Everything was made to kill. To cut and tear flesh. But also, there was the aura of fear.

And a feeling arose in her: The realization of her termination. The discovery of her mortality. She was confronted for the first time with the notion of her own destruction, her death. And the smell... The sulfur, the smoke, the ash, the volcano in all its horror.

Even the world here was dead.She was in shock. Trembling.I arrived at the platform and Star and 2 robots grabbed the 2 captives.

"Take this to the feeding room!"

Waspi screamed.

"Please...I didn't do anything! Sorry!!!"

Zaya settled for animal screams.The two fairies were taken to a room, like a car wash, and their clothes were torn off.They protested, but what could they do? Faced with larger, malevolent and cruel beings?

"Do something Zaya! Pull yourself together... we'll end up like the gnomes and the undines... do as I say???"

Zaya: "Die Waspi... it's all your fault... You have brought evil upon us. We are cursed because of you and Tyrant has punished us because of you. I will be absobed by the earth and reborn as the main one with my memories but you.. You will disappear forever."

Waspi was defeated. sorry and lost.One of the machines twisted their arms painfully, forcing them to stand on their knees, arms behind their backs, naked, and a net like for the legs was stretched over their skin and began to tighten until they had like square scales of skin. Like in a butcher shop.

They were then placed on two stainless steel plates, like trays, and surrounded by fruits.

They were then taken to a huge cave that was set up as a dining room. Plates for ghostly guests were placed here and there. Exotic plants ... carnivorous decorated the place.

They were in pots and one could still see a hand or a foot sticking out of the smiling leaves, absorbing their victim.

A giant silver decanter and crystal glasses and goblets were also set up.The table was made of rustic wood, carved with a knife, as if made from railroad logs.But everything was unnaturally enlarged.

In one seat, well... that was me waiting for my "guests."

I had reduced my height to three meters high... Six times their height...

"Welcome, dear guests. It is my pleasure to welcome such lovely ladies to share my meal..."

The fairies were surprised and shocked at the staging.

"I've always hated eating alone but since no one appreciates my presence, I appreciate my guests. But... oh how rude of me. We forgot the introductions..."

I had a beautiful smile on my face and for the first time in a long time, I was enjoying myself.

Seeing fairies. It was driving me crazy. I had Fruitella and Haribo in front of me...

The brown fairy stammered... "Waspy...Please.. Please...."

I smiled."Welcome to my den, Waspy. I can be on first-name terms with you, can't I? We'll get to know each other very quickly."

Then I looked at the other blue-haired fairy..

."So, do you have a name? pretty little blue fairy...?"

But I had only cries as answer... and she implored Tyrant...I was annoyed by the name.

"Well, I see my other guest doesn't appreciate my hospitality."

And I nodded toward one of the robots.He approached Zaya and put an apple in her mouth, held by a band.Then I turned to Waspi.

"My name is, as my name well says. CARNAGE!I put my paw hand against my heart. As you can see... I am a creature like you, but not like your creator Tyrant.

I was long before you on this earth, this world.How to say... I am the last of the beings the only survivor. All my people were massacred by your creators and it is normal that I fight to preserve myself and to restore what can be restored... "

Then I gestured to the robot.

"But we will start the meal with the entrée"

Waspy : "I don't want to die! Please Mr. Carnage!"

I gestured to the robot to stop the "apple".

"And why would I do that? You are food for me!"

Waspi :"We eat pollen and nectar... but why do you want to eat us?"

Like a cobra, quick as a flash, my jaw snapped at the little fairy...And my eye almost went against hers.

"You are different.... Are you afraid?"

Then I turned to the blue one who hadn't told me her name.

With a grip, I pushed the apple aside so that she could speak.

"And you are afraid?"

She didn't answer, closing her eyes in submission.

"Yet you should be... Pitiful creation..."

I roamed her back seeing the vertebrae and the jerky breathing of the fairy in a forced dogeza position. I nodded at the robot. and he brought a feeding tube and pushed the tip into the back of the fairy who puffed up screaming. I turned my head to the brown fairy.

"I stuffed it with gnome juice.... "

"I'm afraid to die. Please. Not that. Not that! Stop Mr. Carnage. Please, spare Zaya..."

"Ah. A fairy who feels empathy. A first."

I thought for a moment.

"I'll give you a chance....Give me a reason to spare you..."

Waspi: "They banished me... I am a criminal. They don't want me anymore and I have nowhere to go. Let me serve you but don't kill me..."

"So you are afraid to return to the earth...yet you will return to the moonlight, right?"

"No..I am punished...I will disappear. forever!"

I smiled. and waved at the robot.

"NOOOO NOT.."

And the net was cut.Then I turned violently to the fairy.

"SIT DOWN! And don't say a word!"

The blue fairy taunted me like a god would. knowing she would return at the next moon.I laughed for a moment, elbows on the table and holding my long maw by my palms to rest my long neck.

"I made a promise to myself to wipe that nasty smile off your face!...Zaya, When you go through my stomach, you don't come back dewy! I'm making room!"

She understood her mistake at the last moment and the next moment, she did not understand how but she found herself between my 2 jaws and with a clack, without a scream, well if... a hiss of despair...And horror for Waspi.

Zaya burst in my mouth, and finally I tasted the honey enhanced by the raspberry stuffing...A delight. Then the next moment it was roasted in my mouth and like a sweet dessert, the creature, well what was left of it slid along my neck, to meet my stomach.

Then, mad with the taste, I turned for the second bite but stopped myself.

"I suppose you hate me?"

"NASTY!"

I cheered.

"Finally someone... a real creature with a soul! I see you have emotions but you still have a lot to learn.Welcome to Dante's Peak!"
