[Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus AU]

Part 1: During a celebration for Princess (Y/n)'s seventeenth birthday, a stranger shows up and introduces himself as Malleus, her future husband. When he is rejected, he turns everyone into stone, and (Y/n) barely manages to escape with the help of a mysterious pegasus.

Today was a particularly hard day to sneak past your protective parents with how every single guard in this castle seemed to be more on edge than usually. The stray cat with thick grey fur, which had stumbled in front of you earlier while you had been out ice-skating on a frozen-over lake, sat snugly in your arms, enjoying the warmth you provided.

The runners of your ice-skates clicked against one another ever so slightly whenever you ducked behind a column to avoid being spotted by any of the guards and maids. So far, so good.

Just as you had thought you had managed to get away without consequences, ascending the grand staircase that would lead to your bedroom if you took a turn to your right, you let out a relieved sigh, and a small smile appeared on your lips. You never had understood why your parents wouldn't let you go outside, and they would never tell you their reasons either — so there was no other choice for you but to sneak out to skate on the lakes that froze over during the everlasting winter in this kingdom.

"Young woman!" It was a shrill voice that belonged to the speaker. "Where have you been?!"

You winced and jumped in your place, squeezing Grim so tightly that he let out wheezes and whines. The angry glares of your mother and father, the queen and king of this castle, made your movements stutter in fear; it was only through slow and ragged steps that you managed to turn around to face their wrath.

"Mother!" you exclaimed with a nervous smile on your face. "I was just on my way to my room—"

Queen Cater looked like she was about to faint with how she had her hand dramatically placed on her forehead, panting so heavily that King Trey turned to her and shot her a worried look. Your father's eyes hardened again when he returned his attention to you once he had made sure his wife was alright. 

"(Y/n), how much more do you want to scare your poor parents like this?" King Trey asked, his usually so soft voice suddenly full of anger that made you lower your gaze to the carpet in shame. A sigh escaped his lips — one that allowed you to feel his disappointment. "There is a reason why we do not let you out by yourself—"

"It is my seventeenth birthday today, for God's sake!" you cut in, your head suddenly snapping upward for your gaze to meet your parents'. The queen and king looked horrified at the anger and exasperation that swirled deeply in your (E/c) eyes burning intensely. "I am no longer a young girl… and I can protect myself!"

"(Y/n)," Queen Cater whispered while clutching her heart, as if wanting to tell you something she couldn't; so, instead, she shook her head and gave up again — like countless times before. "You don't understand."

A groan escaped your lips. "You never tell me anything, anyway! I'm sick of having to stay inside all day long…"

King Trey pursed his lips, just as conflicted as his wife was. They both shot each other a look, quietly communicating with one another to decide their next course of action. Finally, they nodded to each other and turned their attention to their rebellious daughter again. "We are simply trying to protect you!" King Trey exclaimed, pushing his glasses up. You jerked back, surprised that your father had raised his voice at you. "Now, up to your room! You will not leave your room for the rest of the week!"

Your surprise soon turned into anger again. "I hate you!" you bellowed before promptly marching off to your room, your ice-skates and your cat companion tightly clutched to your chest. There were tears burning in your eyes, and you were even more determined to attend the ice-skating festival held for your seventeenth birthday in a few hours. Why should you listen to your parents? You were old enough to protect yourself!

"(Y/n)—" Queen Cater stepped forward and extended her hand to reach out towards you, but her husband held her back. 

"No, Cater," King Trey whispered, disheartened, "it is for the best…"

The pair of rulers soon turned around and silently retreated to wherever they had been before they ambushed you. Your eyes burned with hatred as you watched them depart completely. Only when the hem of your mother's red dress disappeared around the corner did you jump out of your cover and lower Grim to the ground, who eagerly yapped for air after how tightly you had cuddled him.

An apologetic chuckle escaped your lips, and you leant down to pat his head, to which he replied by eagerly leaning into your touch. The stray cat you had picked up was quite large, which is why you had mistaken him for a bear cub at first — but on second look, you had realised that he was just a grey cat.

"Let's go, Grim," you whispered and straightened your back again to venture to the grand exit of the castle. "Let's have some fun tonight."

The walk to the frozen-over lake where the festival was held was very short and of no special importance. Grim lazily trotted beside you, sometimes pawing at your legs to be picked up; eventually, you grew so annoyed at the cat that you really bent down and pulled him up into your arms. He was rather heavy, but it was nothing you couldn't manage.

Once you arrived at the festival, you hid behind a bush and slipped off your boots to put on your trusty old ice-skates. You made sure to have the straps and ties tied correctly before you slid out from behind your cover and made your way to the lake, out in the open now.

Heads turned your way, and people that were formerly skating around the lake in pairs or alone shied away from your presence. Your entrance made people gasp, a circle of people soon forming around you with the band standing in the gazebo not too far away stopping their cheerful playing. All eyes were on you, and you blanched slightly.

Etiquette lessons had taught you to always greet your subjects and be polite, as expected of the only princess of this kingdom. After having set Grim down onto the ice, who then began skidding around clumsily with his paws and claws, you raised your hand and waved at the other people sheepishly.

Much to your luck, a small boy with bright blue hair soon came sliding towards you, not afraid or fearful of you like all the other adults were. He seemed skilful as he came to a stop in front of you and offered his hand to you, shooting you the brightest and most innocent smile you had ever laid eyes upon. "May I have this dance, Princess?" he asked giddily.

You giggled in amusement and eagerly put your hand into his, soon skating off into the middle of the lake with your hands locked. "Of course," you whispered, which made him laugh in happiness. You still felt a little bit awkward about the way everyone stared at you as if you were an alien — well, a princess. So, shooting them a sheepish smile, you flicked your wrist. "Oh, you may resume!"

You had the fun of your life, skating around with the brave boy and seeing other people enjoy this wonderful evening, too. The music in the background made you feel more alive than ever in this boring and grey life of yours. Grim often stumbled across you, still a little bit clumsy on his paws, and you made sure to avoid him unless you wanted to fall on your bum again like you had when first meeting and finding him earlier this day.

Eventually, you parted ways with the young boy to skate a few rounds on your own. Spins and jumps — all of those managed to make people stop in their movements to watch you skate around the area, skilful and elegant on your feet as if you had done this countless times before, which yes, you had. You were so immersed in your skating that you didn't spot how the sky darkened ominously and a green fog lay itself over the lake. The night sky that had previously been without a single spot of cloud was now covered in a thick blanket.

It was soon that a man riding a griffin appeared from between the heavy clouds and descended towards you, the rider's green eyes wholly focused on you. You didn't really notice as he landed on the ice and gracefully climbed off his companion, the end of his large staff clicking against the hard ice. People stared at him and shied away, and the music once again stopped playing.

It was only when you heard ominous clapping that you snapped out of your trance. Your eyes fluttered open, and you found the citizens of your kingdom standing on the sides while in the middle of the lake, a tall young man stood with his head held high. His gloved hands still were clapping, and a large grin adorned his face as he ventured toward you in an elegant fashion.

You froze in fear and immediately picked up Grim when he began pawing at your legs. The young man exuded an intimidating a scary aura, so much that you had to control yourself from running away when he came to a stop in front of you and bowed politely, yet still staying silent as ever.

Concerned by his strange behaviour, you finally managed to croak out, "Who are you?"

The stranger straightened his back again and rose to his full height, forcing you to crane your neck to be able to look him in the eyes. It was only then that you noticed the pair of horns protruding from his black hair, winding intricately. He used your temporary moment of distraction to step even closer and grab your chin with his slender fingers. "You truly are the most beautiful gem I have ever laid eyes upon," he cooed, his voice deep and velvety, as he tilted your face left and right, delighted. "Ah, the wait truly was worth the wait."

You forced your chin out of his hold and narrowed your eyes at him, only clutching your unnerved cat companion closer to you. "Who are you—?" you asked once again, which made him chuckle in amusement.

"Ah, how rude of me." His slitted eyes peered down at you, amused and excited. Putting one hand on his chest, he bowed his head and confidently announced, "Greetings, I am Malleus, your future husband."

Splutters of confusion escaped your lips, leading you to eventually scoff, "I don't think so."

The man with pointy ears didn't seem disheartened by your rejections at all, only finding them amusing, much to your frustration. "Oh? Feisty. I like it." A genuinely happy smile appeared on his lips as he extended a hand to pat your head, treating you like a small child. He exhaled in fondness, and his eyes were full with nostalgia as he looked down at you lovingly. "You've always been a stubborn one, (Y/n), my dear treasure. Despite your brother's dislike of me, you still snuck out to meet me."

"I don't have a brother." You were growing more and more confused by the minute, and it didn't help that Malleus wouldn't explain a thing, instead acting as if you knew what he was talking about. When he tried to take your hand into his, you immediately pulled it out of his grasp again and skated a few metres away from him. Your eyes were burning with fury as you screamed, "And leave me alone!"

Malleus frowned while he stepped closer to you again. "That is no way to talk to your future husband."

"I am not marrying anyone!"

The mysterious man quirked an eyebrow at your defiance. "Oh? What a shame… I have been waiting a long time to come back for you to fulfill your promise, but now that you are about to break it?" he drawled, a little bit frustrated by your continuous rejections now. You shrank back in fear when his eyes darkened in anger. "Do you know what happens when you break promises, Princess? As a punishment, I shall turn everyone you love into stone until you decide to keep the promise you made to me by marrying me."

You shook your head while doing your best to not let him intimidate you too much. "I never made any promise to you—!"

Malleus opened his mouth and was about to reply to your accusations, but was interrupted when a carriage with guards — and surprisingly, your parents — arrived by the road to the lake. The king was the first to storm out of the carriage, a sword in his hand as he hurried towards the mysterious stranger trying to close the distance between you two. The queen followed behind, a worried frown on her face.

King Trey glared at the stranger and pulled you behind his back when Malleus was daring enough to try and get a hold of your hand again to force a costly-looking ring, an emerald embedded into the golden metal, onto your finger. "Malleus, get away from our daughter!" King Trey exclaimed and pointed the tip of his sword at him.

Your eyes were wide in surprise in wonder that your parents truly seemed to know this stranger. Simultaneously, you grew angry that they had never told you about this.

Malleus merely chuckled and pushed the sword out of his face, swatting it away as if it were a pesky little hindrance. Once he stood face to face with your mother and father, he bowed in a mocking way and murmured, "Ah, King Trey and Queen Cater, my future parents-in-law… so we see each other again."

King Trey narrowed his eyes, a rare sight for the people that only ever saw him treat even criminals with nothing but kindness and compassion. "Do not call us that, evil sorcerer."

Malleus exhaled in feigned hurt and put his hand to his forehead. "Oh, you wound me…" he cried out before he pried one eye open to gaze at you again, whom your father tried to hide behind his back as best as possible. You were still clutching onto your cat companion ever so tightly. A vicious grin appeared on Malleus' lips. "Anyway, back to the matter at hand." He extended a hand out to you, his unwavering gaze glued to you. "Keep your promise and marry me, (Y/n)."

"Please," Queen Cater cried out softly. "Please, Malleus! Leave her alone! You already took Riddle from us."

Malleus clicked his tongue and let his hand retreat to his side again, dissatisfied by the answer your mother had given him. He shook his head and let out a drawn-out sigh that had everyone in his near proximity sitting on the edge of their seats. "Ah, I am afraid we have to do this the hard way then…" he said, his voice resonating with feigned sadness even though his face was contorted into a twisted grin. His eyes still fixated on you, he slammed the end of his staff against the ice. "Say goodbye to everyone you love, (Y/n)! And if you do not marry me in three days, they shall stay like this forever."

You gasped when you looked to your left and right to find people turning into stone, frozen in their movements — your father trying to attack the perpetrator and other people trying to run away — like statues of stone. Tears were threatening to run down your cheeks when you turned in every direction to find yourself alone with the mysterious sorcerer. Even your parents weren't spared from becoming stone.

"No— Father, Mother!" you cried out as you skated over to your parents, watching their frozen bodies in horror — and to think that all of this was your fault.

A hand wrapped itself around your upper arm firmly, making you wince at the thought of it leaving a bruise there later. You were whirled around to come face to face with the evil sorcerer that had just cursed your parents and every citizen of your kingdom. A large smile adorned Malleus' face as he pulled you closer to him, drawing a yelp from your throat when you collided with his body. Grim, too, seemed frightened with the way he had his face buried in your chest.

"Now," Malleus cooed as he bent down, his face closing in on yours eagerly. "Come here, my dear."

You tried to pull away, but his hold on you was strong. It looked like his lips were about to collide with yours — but before that could happen, Grim brought his paw forward and slapped him with as much force as he could. Malleus was sent tumbling back, not because Grim was particularly strong but because of the surprise that made his eyes widen in horror.

You used the chance of freedom to skate away, but knew that Malleus would catch you sooner or later with the griffin that bared his teeth at you, ready to pounce should his master give him the command to. Yet, before all hope died down, you looked up to find a winged horse descending from the cloudy sky. The animal's red fur immediately jumped into your eye, and you grew even more surprised when the horse yelled out, "Hold on tight!"

You readied yourself to climb onto his back should he be close enough. And indeed, you somehow managed to jump and grab onto his mane, Grim clinging onto your arm in desperation and fear. A deep breath of relief escaped your throat when you sat on the pegasus properly and finally allowed yourself to turn around to see if the evil sorcerer was following you.

Malleus' griffin looked like he was about to take off into the sky and chase after you. Much to your luck, Malleus stopped him by putting his hand on his companion's wings before the beast could jump up into the sky. "Do not, Sebek," the sorcerer said in a still hopeful tone. "(Y/n) will eventually come back once she realises that she loves me. We are soulmates, after all."

Malleus watched you disappear from his sight with a heavy heart before he swung himself onto his griffin and flew off into the darkness of the night, retreating to plan his next move on how to win your heart.

Meanwhile, the pegasus had carried Grim and you high up into the sky, until you could no longer see the earth beneath you with how thick and white clouds covered the sky like a carpet or floor beneath you. Once you had regained your breath and composure from this sudden encounter with the strange sorcerer, you peered down at the pegasus, grateful yet suspicious. "Where are you taking me? And who are you?"

The pegasus seemed reluctant to answer you at first but soon couldn't bear to stay silent anymore. Although he kept his gaze trained forward sternly, he calmly explained, "I am Riddle, and I am taking you to the Cloud Castle, my home. Cloud Queen Acette should be able to give you shelter."

You bit your lip, about to protest and tell him that he should take you back to the lake — but you soon realised how stupid that request truly was. Instead, you decided to not be fully unreasonable. "I… have to thank you for saving me from Malleus…" 

"It is something that I should have done ages ago and failed to do. But now, I at least think I managed to correct my mistake before he could take you once and for all."

"I am afraid I do not understand," you replied and tilted your head to the side in confusion.

"You will," Riddle whispered with a heavy heart, "in no time."

He didn't say much more afterwards, and the only sound audible was his strong and majestic wings carrying you across the shimmering night sky. You exhaled and thought about his words, but they only caused a throbbing headache to form in the back of your head. Thousands of thoughts began flooding your mind — from regret of sneaking out tonight to questions that piled up in your brain.

"Who even is this Malleus?" you eventually blurted out, too curious to keep it in any longer — especially since Riddle seemed to know him with how he spoke of him.

Riddle clicked his tongue and shook his head in distaste at you even mentioning that name. "Malleus is a powerful prince and wizard from a foreign kingdom," he muttered, as if holding a personal grudge against the sorcerer. "He is feared and cruel…"

You hummed quietly, not wanting to pry any further with how irked the pegasus seemed with just such a simple question. And you didn't get to think about today's events much further when the beautiful sight of a castle up in the clouds came into your vision. A gasp escaped your lips, and even Grim, who had managed to fall asleep during the ride on the pegasus, woke up again to marvel at the sheer beauty of the castle.

Riddle entered the castle and expertly flew through the wide and high corridors. Your eyes grew wide at the interior that seemed even more beautiful than the outside of the large building. The sound of more pegasus wings flapping up and down snapped you out of your trance; looking left and right, you found three boys riding their own pegasi. One boy looked cheerful, the other looked serious, and the last one looked to have fallen asleep on his pegasus.

"Riddle, you're back!" the cheerful boy exclaimed in excitement, especially when his bright red eyes fell on you and your cat companion. "And you have someone with you!"

Riddle smiled at the three boys as they guided and accompanied you through the corridors. "Hello, Cloud Princes Kalim, Leona, and Jack," your pegasus muttered, a little bit tired and on edge with the sudden turn of events. "May you take us to the Cloud Queen?"

Jack nodded politely. "Of course."

It wasn't before long that the four pegasi arrived in what looked to be the throne chamber of the whole castle. The three smaller pegasi retreated to their resting places up at the ceiling of the palace, and the three cloud princes now stood behind you curiously. Your legs trembling, you climbed off of Riddle's back and lowered Grim to the floor, who immediately clung to your leg again.

Soon, the woman you assumed to be the Cloud Queen stepped out from behind a corner and skipped towards you, a bright and energetic grin on her lips — just as colourful as her bright red hair. She immediately ventured over to Riddle and wrapped her arms around the pegasus, who only replied with a few annoyed huffs through his nostrils.

"Riddle!" the Cloud Queen cried out dramatically. "I was afraid you would not return."

The red pegasus sighed and pushed her away to be able to look her in the eyes again. A little bit exasperated, he nodded over to your direction, and it was only then that the Cloud Queen finally noticed your presence. Curious, she approached you, looking you up and down in concern at the way you were trembling and shaking. "I had to save (Y/n) from Malleus, Cloud Queen Acette," your saviour pegasus explained, his tone grave and heavy.

The Cloud Queen pursed her lips and crossed her arms. "Malleus, that bastard, struck again?"

"Yes…" Riddle bowed his head, still a little bit shaken up by your narrow escape. "And I came just in time."

"I see…" the Cloud Queen trailed off before throwing her arms into the air, very exasperated and worried at the news of her most powerful opponent returning from years of laying dormant. "What did Malleus do this time…?"

"It is horrible! My parents and everyone else — he turned them into stone!" you explained, close to breaking down into tears since; now that you had to say it out loud, the feelings you had pushed down came back tenfold. You buried your face in your shaking palms, and Grim cuddled up to your feet to cheer you up a little bit. "And they will forever stay that way if I do not marry him in three days…"

The Cloud Queen sighed and put a hand on your shoulder. "I… am so sorry," she whispered before guiding you deeper into the castle. "Well, come with us."

HOMEBOY DEUCE HAS FINALLY ARRIVED 😆😭

In which Princess (Y/n)'s parents and friends get turned into stone when she refuses to marry the evil yet love-sick sorcerer Malleus.

Now, she and her companions — a pegasus, a stray cat, and her new friend — embark on an adventure to forge a Wand of Light to overpower Malleus' magic before it is too late.

[Barbie and the Magic of Pegasus AU]

[Masterlist] Part 3: To find the three components needed for the Wand of Light, Princess (Y/n) and her companions head to the Forbidden Forest, where they meet an enigmatic young man by the name of Deuce.

The moment you jumped off of Riddle's back after having arrived in the Forbidden Forest, you knew that there was no going back, even if Riddle voiced his second thoughts here and there as you trudged through the darkness. Dark and tall trees covered the sky and thus prevented any sunlight from reaching you. There were shadows everywhere, and you swore you could hear footsteps thumping close by whenever you sharpened your hearing.

Yet, when you turned around, you only ever found empty air.

A sigh escaped your lips as you let your eyes wander around the dark area, everything looking the same to you: bleak, sad, and dark. This was the place where you would find the measure of courage? Things didn't look too optimistic…

"This place surely lives up to its name…" Riddle muttered and gestured you to keep close by, afraid you would never find one another again if you lost track of each other now. You obeyed and walked so closely that your hand brushed against the soft feathers of his wings. 

Sadly, Grim seemed to be the most frightened out of you three, his paranoid eyes snapping from one shadow to another; he looked like he would bolt out of fear anytime now. 

"Yes…" You nodded and let out a few chuckles. "We better tread carefully—"

A startled gasp escaped your lips when you suddenly felt soft fur brushing against your ankles, the hem of the long dress that the Cloud Queen had given you to wear billowing up slightly as Grim dashed right through your legs and ran ahead of you. You quickened your pace and tried to run after him. "Grim!" you cried out, too worried for your companion to be mindful of traps. "Hey, where are you going—?"

Before you could get a hold of Grim, he managed to trip onto a slide made out of a carved out wooden lodge, leading down into an abyss of darkness. Unfortunately, Riddle and you managed to activate a trap and were pulled up into nets. An exasperated scream escaped your lips as you swung back and forth in your own net while looking to Riddle, who was stuck in another trap, in panic.

Riddle, too, seemed taken aback, although he was much calmer than you were. "A trap?"

"I need to get to Grim—" you cried out and wrapped your fingers around the strings of the net to somehow fight your way out, shaking the strings back and forth as if you were a lunatic. "Grim, hold on! I'm coming—!"

"Hush," Riddle hissed, his ears raised in alarm, "someone is coming…"

And he was right: Soon, a young man stepped out of the shadows and revealed his striking blue eyes to you. He led a horse by its reins as he ventured towards you, eyeing you with curious and surprised eyes. You furrowed your eyebrows in frustration, especially when his moves were slow and calculated — you had a cat to save!

"What an interesting catch," he said with a serious frown on his face. Pushing a strand of his dark blue hair out of his face, he clicked his tongue and shook his head. "The Forbidden Forest is no place for a princess like you."

"Tsk, I hadn't noticed," you retorted with a roll of your eyes. "Could you please get us out of here?"

The stranger clicked his tongue once again as he unsheathed the shimmering sword from his belt and ventured over to the rope that held up the two nets you and your brother were caught in. With one easy swing of his weapon, the sharp blade cut through the coarse rope easily. A loud scream escaped your lips as you gracelessly dropped to the floor, scrambling to get back to your feet again.

As you lay on the ground and worked on getting up again, the blue-haired male loomed over you with a suspicious look in his eyes. "Why did you come here?" he asked while watching your every move, alarmed and ready to strike with his sword if you should try anything funny. Riddle recovered much quicker than you, anyway. You groaned and rose to your feet, then dusted off your dress. "Only idiots enter the Forbidden Forest."

A sarcastic chortle escaped your lips as you shot back, "And yet, you are here!"

His eyes grew to the size of saucers, and he seemed taken aback for a moment at your wittiness. It seemed like he wasn't the brightest, but you had to admit that he was quite adorable when he was thinking hard to throw back a response. "Well, uh—" he stuttered out eventually and stopped rubbing his head sheepishly. The small glare he shot you made you cross your arms triumphantly. "But I was not swinging from a tree!"

"Thank you, sir," Riddle cut in before you could throw back another retort. You merely scoffed and turned your head away in a haughty manner.

"Sir?" the stranger repeated with a quirked eyebrow, obviously very sceptical of the way he had just been addressed. A small chuckle escaped his lips, and he shook his head in amusement. "I'm Deuce."

"I'm Riddle, and this is my sister (Y/n)."

"Sister?" Deuce let out a hearty laugh, one that made him come off as genuinely friendly despite his serious facade. He put a hand over his mouth as he pressed out between wheezes, "I can see the resemblance."

You gasped and glared at him. "Hey!"

His snickers soon died down, although he still was quietly chuckling to himself when he removed his hand from his mouth to shoot you an apologetic smile. "Oh, I'm sorry—" he muttered timidly as he bowed awkwardly, which made you tilt your head to the side in amusement. "I didn't mean to offend you."

You were about to throw back another remark, but quickly shut your mouth again when the panic from earlier seeped in again: You still hadn't found your cat companion. Quickly snapping around and marching away, which surprised Deuce, you looked around the area, your hand pressed against your forehead. "I can't find Grim!" you cried out while strolling to the edge of the platform you currently stood on to spot the wooden slide you had seen earlier already.

Deuce quirked an eyebrow and walked closer. "Who's that?"

"My cat…" An exasperated and concerned sigh escaped your lips as you quickly pointed at the slide that you suspected would lead you to your missing friend. Your eyes turned to Deuce, who furrowed his eyebrows at you. "Where does this slide go?"

"To danger," he answered, nothing less and nothing more. His reply angered you, especially when he turned around and led his horse away, probably about to disappear to where he had come from in the first place. When he couldn't hear you reply, he briefly turned around to shoot you one last warning. "You should step away from it and forget about your cat."

"Fine, don't show me," you grumbled and crossed your arms, intending to prove him wrong and find your friend at the same time. A smug grin made its way to your lips as you stepped forward and let yourself fall onto the slide. "I'll find Grim myself!"

Deuce gasped and darted over to you upon realising that you were sliding down the slide. "Hey— you can't just—!" he screamed after you and even extended a hand to grab you and pull you up again, but you were too far gone already. So, he merely sighed in resignation and turned to your brother, shooting him a look of disbelief.

Meanwhile, you were sliding down the curvy slide that took you down multiple metres until it ended just above a metal pot that seemed to be used for cooking. You landed on your behind and let out a series of groans at the throbbing pain in your back. When your eyes fluttered open again, you found soft paws nudging your side in the hope of waking you up again. Your eyes fluttered open, and a giant smile spread on your lips upon having found Grim again.

You exhaled in relief as you picked him up into your arms and cuddled him close to your chest. "Grim, there you are…" you whispered into his fur, a large smile blossoming on your face. Once you had recovered from your initial surprise, you rose to your feet and looked around the area with the intention of finding out where you were.

Like you had observed earlier, you were standing in a large metal pot. The sound of fire crackling and the bottom warming up comfortably, so much that Grim wiggled out of your arms to enjoy the warmth of the bottom. You let out a little chuckle and turned back to the walls of the pot, thinking of a way to get out — sadly, the walls were too high and too smooth for you to climb up on. But! The hook that connected the handle to the pot looked like it would be helpful for an escape.

Before you could work on your plan any further, the sound of loud footsteps and stomping filled your ears, causing you to wince in fear. Upon getting onto your toes, you managed to sneak a peek at the giant entering his little hut with vegetables in his arms. He threw them down on a nearby cutting board before walking over to the pot over the fireplace and peering inside with a large grin on his face.

"More lunch for Ruggie!" the giant with fluffy hyena ears exclaimed in an overjoyed tone, rubbing his stomach with his hands. He grabbed onto the edge of the pot and tilted it over to his side, so that he could get a better look at you. "I like lunch!"

You gulped when he let go of the pot again, causing you to lose your balance and stumble back and forth until you had regained your footing again. You didn't plan to be devoured by a ravenous giant for lunch today, so you had to come up with a plan real quick.

Ruggie hummed the tone of a child's lullaby, never really hitting the correct notes, as he chopped up the ingredients he planned to boil along with you. A hearty laugh escaped his lips as he grabbed a handful of vegetables that were the size of Grim and threw them over his back, most of them landing in the pot. You covered your head when carrots rained down upon you. "Carrots!" Then, more ingredients followed. "Turnips and onions!"

A relieved gasp escaped your lips when finally, the rain of vegetables had come to an end. The ambush of food hadn't been so bad, after all, either! You finally had something that you could use as a hook along with the (F/c) ribbon that tied your hair together. Picking up a carrot that lay by your feet, you promptly wrapped one end of the ribbon around it and tied it into a tight knot — there, your grappling hook was finished. Now… you just needed to distract Ruggie.

"Oh, poor Ruggie!" you yelled out, which made the giant stop with cutting his vegetables and venture over to the pot instead upon hearing his name being called out. His giant face loomed over you and Grim, who clung to your leg in fear. Ruggie shot you a questioning look, wanting to know why you had called for him. You cupped your hands around your mouth and began to laugh. "Maybe after you eat us, you won't be so weak and scrawny!"

"Ruggie scrawny?!" The giant gasped, offended, and began to glare at you. "Ruggie is not scrawny! Ruggie strong!" The angry look he sent you made you shrink together in fear, but at least he looked determined enough to fall right into your trap. He put his hands on his hips and cried out, "How can Ruggie prove?"

"Can you break a log apart with only your jaw?"

Ruggie rolled his eyes and stepped away to grab a log. "Of course!" he exclaimed proudly before opening his mouth wide open and putting the log between his rows of sharp teeth. With little effort, he managed to snap the sturdy lodge into two with mere jaw strength.

"Wow… but I bet you can't do it with that whole tree log over there!"

Ruggie spit out the pieces of wood and marched over to the largest log in his possession, one that was almost as tall as a tree and could actually count as a whole tree trunk. He rolled his shoulders before opening his mouth once again to place the humongous log into his mouth, his teeth clamping down to the point where you could hear the faintest cracking noises. "Watch and see," he said, his voice muffled. Then, he pressed his eyes shut and began increasing the force of his jaw. He required the utmost concentration and strength for this task.

You hummed in satisfaction upon seeing him so distracted. The grappling hook you had crafted earlier in your hands, you bent down, so that Grim could climb onto your back. "Come on, Grim…" you cooed, and he didn't let himself be told twice as he eagerly jumped on and dug his claws into the fabric of your dress. Your eyes trained on the hook where handle and pot conjoined, you threw the carrot and let out a happy gasp when it lodged itself into the hook. "Let's get out of here!"

"See? It's close to breaking!" Ruggie exclaimed proudly, although the lodge barely had any cracks yet. The pride on his face immediately disappeared when he finally noticed you climbing over the edge of the pot with your makeshift grappling hook. Unbelievable anger filled his eyes. "Hey, where are you going?!"

You hurried and unwrapped your ribbon from the carrot to throw it back into the pot. Once that was done with, you jumped down from the edge of the pot and made a run for the door with Grim clinging to your back tightly. "See you, Ruggie!" you shouted out as the giant tried to chase after you.

Ruggie had great difficulties with how he couldn't look down properly since the lodge was still firmly lodged between his teeth, so much that he couldn't remove it even if he wanted to. He was close on your tail, and the ground shook with vibrations whenever he stomped down. Angered, the giant tried to follow you out of the door that served as an exit for his hut. 

In his blind fury, he forgot that he had the wooden lodge still between his teeth, and thus he attempted to run through the door, too. The ends of the lodge collided with the door frame, too big in width to let him pass through the door without a problem. The force sent him tumbling back and falling to the floor, his eyes dazed and his vision blurry.

"No, come back here!" he whined as he lay on the ground, unmoving with how heavily his head spun. "Ruggie wants lunch!"

Not listening to his pitiful pleas, you ran and ran without looking back. It didn't take long until you rounded the corner and entered a deeper and darker area of the forest again, one where you were certain that Ruggie couldn't follow you to, even if he had recovered and was now searching for you.

Your chest heaving up and down, you placed your hands on your knees and breathed raggedly. Grim jumped off your back and threw himself to the floor, his limbs sprawled out in relief at the closeness of the situation.

Much to your surprise, you could soon hear the sound of footsteps approaching. You raised your gaze to find Riddle, as well as Deuce and his horse, approaching you.

"(Y/n), you're alright!" Riddle cried out in happiness. "And you have Grim!"

Deuce, on the other hand, looked much more sceptical and less happy than your brother did. An annoyed frown appeared on his face, and Deuce made sure to give you a disapproving look. "You made it out yourself, huh?" He scoffed, causing you to cross your arms and glare at him challengingly. In response, he merely shrugged and clicked his tongue. "I was going to rescue you. Again."

You waved him off with a flick of your wrist before presenting the ultimate weapon that had gotten you out of there: your hair tie. A proud smile on your lips, you presented the long strip that usually tied your hair together to your companions. "I got out with my ribbon!" you exclaimed, to which Grim nodded eagerly.

"Wow…" Deuce quirked an eyebrow and let out a little whistle. "That's impressive."

You were about to rub it under his nose when the pegasus interrupted you with a surprised gasp, his eyes bright in realisation and excitement. All eyes now on Riddle, the pegasus nodded at the exact length of the tie you were holding up. "Wait— the ribbon is as tall as you!" he explained, unable to hold his thoughts to himself any longer. "It's your measure… your measure of courage!"

As if on cue, the long tie for your hair turned into a (F/c) staff that was much shorter but of course heavier than your ribbon. Your eyes were wide in shock as you clutched the staff in your hands, letting your fingertips run over its smooth surface.

"Wow, we got the first component!" you cried out in happiness, and Grim soon joined in on the cheering. A triumphant grin on your lips, you raised the staff into the air with newfound strength and hope — maybe your task that other people deemed impossible wasn't that impossible after all. "Now we only need a ring of love and a gem of ice, lit by hope's eternal flame!"

"You want to build a Wand of Light?" Deuce asked with a raised eyebrow and crossed arms, to which you responded with an eager nod. A scoff left his lips, and he merely rolled his eyes at the innocent and naive shimmer in your eyes. "It's just an old fairytale."

"Did you just see what happened to my ribbon? It turned into a staff!"

Deuce pursed his lips and stayed silent at how he couldn't find a logical explanation to counter your words. Sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck, he sighed and admitted, "Alright… maybe that was strange." Before you could sneer at him for being wrong, he narrowed his eyes and opened his mouth again. "But nothing is too strange in this forest. This doesn't have to mean that a Wand of Light truly exists."

Before you could counter his statement with another argument, he briskly turned around and led his horse away from you, silent all the time. Your eyes grew at his sudden retreat, and you stepped forward to cry out, "Wait, where are you going—"

Although he stopped in his move, he didn't turn around as he stated, "Home." When you couldn't find any fitting words or anything to say, Deuce took it as a signal to further retreat from your sight.

"He's such an idiot!" you cried out, exasperated.

Riddle chuckled at your frustration and wiggled his eyebrows at you teasingly. "But cute, right?"

Your brother's teasing made you avert your gaze to the floor in embarrassment and cross your arms to shield yourself from the pegasus' mocking glances. "M-Maybe?" you stuttered out with a shaking voice that was also an octave higher than usually. Your feet prodded one another, and you suddenly felt the need to hide your face from your smug brother. "I didn't notice…"

"Go!" Grim cried out as he pawned at your legs, not wanting Deuce to go.

You gulped and swallowed your pride, knowing that your cat companion was right. Taking one last breath, you then reached out towards Deuce and yelled out, "Wait, Deuce!"

Deuce sighed and snapped around, an irked frown on his face. "Do you need something?" he snarled, which caught you off-guard. His glare softened when he realised how much he had frightened you. You nodded timidly, your eyes avoiding his gaze and instead focused on the sword on his hip. Deuce took notice of it very quickly, amused by your staring. "You seem to be interested in my sword. I made it myself."

Your eyes grew in size at how much of a help he could be when you needed the Wand of Light to be forged together from all three loose components! A determined look flashing over your face, you raised your gaze and looked him dead in the eyes. "Then we need your help!" you exclaimed, your voice desperate and loud.

Deuce furrowed his eyebrows. "Why…?"

"Once we have all three components of the wand, we need a smith to put them together!"

The blue-haired male seemed hesitant with the way his grip on the reins tightened. Eventually, he sighed and turned away from you, merely stating, "I'm busy." He got into motion again, walking away without sparing you a second glance.

You shook your head and took several steps towards him. "Please, Deuce. My time is running out!" Your voice broke at the end, and it turned meek and quiet again. The tears began to well in your eyes again. Clutching your staff close to your chest, you let out a long sigh. "I made a mistake… and I need another chance…"

"...another chance?" the male repeated, to which you hummed in a grave tone. He seemed conflicted by your words, suddenly torn if he should aid you in your quest. His eyes were closed, and he bit his lip, thinking deeply. Eventually, his eyes fluttered open again and, having made up his mind, he turned around to face you again with a slightly less serious and hostile frown on his face. "Alright fine, I will help you."

You shot him a grateful smile. "Thank you, Deuce."

"Don't mention it."

Hello Malleus, what do you think about having a winter wedding with me

It would be an honor to marry someone as charming as you, my love 💚

And winter is such a beautiful season to have a wedding! The snow falling over us, our hands holding gently onto each other, cuddling by the warm fire to celebrate our marriage. Ah, can’t you just imagine it?

*slides right in*

Hello my dear King Trey O w O

Jkjk

Trey may I ask if you want to watch some barbie movies with me? ^^

We can even make our own snacks!!

O w O

Why hello to you too, my darling ❤️

Of course, I’d love to spend some time with you! We can watch whatever movie you please but if you want my opinion, I would suggest to watch the Fairytopia trilogy. The flower aesthetic gives off vibes resembling that of our dorm and let’s not forget about Bibble.

And the snacks are the most important part of our date, if you don’t mind me calling it that. Making some together might not be as bad as Riddle’s tarts, don’t tell him I said that–

Here’s a Twisted Wonderland and Clone High crossover that ✨no one✨ asked for

JFK will come home soon, I promise

Edit: Damn, I realized that it would actually be hard for me to choose a good character for him since there’s so many options. Maybe Rook or Floyd??

Hewwo!! :33

Malleus!! May I ask know what was your opinion in acting in the film "Y/N and the Magic of Pegasus"?

Also how did you first react to being given the role of "Wenlock"?

Like we're you hoping to get another role but we're given the role of "Wenlock"?

Hello, child of man!

I have to say, I was excited to act in such a masterpiece of a film. I rarely get invited so I was sort of nervous with the new experience.

When I reacted to be casted as Wenlock, I was happy but slightly offended. I hoped to be Aidan so I could get the chance to skate with Y/N. But unfortunately, beggars can’t be choosers.

Playing as Wenlock helped me —how do humans call it— build my character. I was free to use my magic instead of using those “special effects” the others had offered. Knowing me, it was just another way to impress Y/N.
