Duncan II

I returned from my mission. I had a young girl in my arms. Her skin was as pale as snow, her hair as black as... She was Snow White. She was unconscious. I had to knock out a prince and seven dwarves to get to her. I was surprised she didn't turn out to be a vampire with how pale she was.

The room was very dimly lit. I stepped into the dim light.

A select few had been called in to gather round the table. They glared maliciously at the hologram before them, showing Felix and the Onis' progress. We sat for a long while in silence, the hologram disappearing. Then at last, Nasira, spoke up, stabbing the stone floor with the tip of her staff.

"What drew the darkness to that world?" she hissed, her attention to their leader. The arrogant fool probably thought such a world would be beneath even the darkness. Mother kept an even face and stepped forward.

"The huntress lured them there," she told them, her voice calm and steady, though she allowed a small smirk to grow on her face, "It was her lust for power that was the bait. But it seems the bait for too nasty for her own good."

Baba Yaga cackled; a maliciously cheery bubbling of laughter that could chill anyone to the bone.

"Yeah!" she said excitedly when she had finished cackling, "She got chomped instead!"

That witch always enjoys every ought of entertainment that can be gleaned from any violent act. I could probably kill one of the others here and Baba Yaga would be sure to laugh and maybe ask for refreshments. Imbecile. It will be her undoing one day.

"A weak-hearted fool like her stood no chance against the darkness," Nasira continued on disdainfully as if Baba Yaga had not spoken. Then her tone became more angry and firm, "But the boy is a problem."

"We are not killing him," I said firmly.

"Fear not, Ares," Hera said confidently, "He remains blissfully unaware of our plan. However, if he were to interfere with our plans..."

"Yes, the princesses..." Thetis' voice came from the darkness. Rightly so, I could scarcely bear to look at the Sea Witch.

Mother's eyes grew wide in excitement, "They are falling into our hands, one by one," she allowed her smirk to grow wider, "Speaking of which..."

Mother levitated Snow White over to a contraption that already had two naked blonde girls strapped in. Snow White's body was stripped naked was strapped between the two other girls.

"Three down, four to go," mother said.

I knew what I had to do. If Felix was to interfere with mother's plans, he would have to die. I had to make sure that doesn't happen.
