《Princess Of The Underworld》29| What Magic Feels Like
Advertisement
"What just happened?" Evie thought aloud after a few seconds of silence.
"No idea." Mal and I said in unison as we all ran forward towards where we had last seen Maleficent.
"Did I do that?" Mal asked herself, as we all looked around.
"Oh no, no, no, no, no!" I looked up to see the Fairy Godmother unfrozen and running our way, "Your mother did."
The Headmistress then pointed to the ground and I squinted to see a small purple lizard on the carpet, "She shrunk to the size of her heart, that's why she's so itty-bitty."
My jaw dropped as I looked at the small creature, that just a minute ago had been a fire-breathing dragon. That was Maleficent?
Mal handed ms the wand as she knelt down to look at her mother, "Will she be like that forever?"
The Fairy Godmother sent her a small smile, "Forever is a long time, dear. You learned to love," She glanced up at where Evie had her hand on Mal's shoulder, "So can she."
I then held the magic wand to the woman, "I think this belongs to you."
The Fairy Godmother smiled, taking the wand from my hands. She then knelt down, picking up something from the ground.
"And this," She held out Ben's ring to me, "Belongs to you."
I smiled at her, slipping the ring back onto my finger.
The Headmistress then smiled at us, "You all have earned yourself an A in Remedial Goodness."
I laughed, throwing an arm around Carlos. This had sure been one hectic coronation.
The Fairy Godmother winked at me before swinging the wand over her head, "Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo!" Sparks flew around the room, and soon everyone was unfrozen.
Ben let out an animalistic roar, running towards us, still thinking Maleficent was still here.

I put my hands against his chest, stopping him from running me over, "Calm down, Beasty Boy, we got it under control." I chuckled, nodding back towards the rest of the VK's.
Ben looked down at me for a second, before pressing his lips to mine.
I was shocked, I could only hear the sound of my own heart beating. I soon found myself leaning into him, my hands finding their way to his shoulders. Is this what magic felt like?
At the sound of applause and Jay wolf whistling, we pulled apart. Though I wanted to kiss Ben over, and over again until my lips were numb.
"We should do that again, soon." I told him, fumbling over my words, energy coursing through my veins.
He nodded at me, his hands tracing over the tops of my arms, "Very soon."
I smiled at him, glancing over his shoulder to see Jane getting scolded by her mother.
"I will be right back." I whispered to Ben, forcing myself to part from him, and turning to face my purple-haired best friend, "Mal."
She nodded, following me over to where Fairy Godmother and Jane stood.
"I love you, but you are on a serious time out." The Headmistress told her daughter as we walked up.
"Don't blame, Jane." Mal spoke up, placing a hand on Jane's shoulder, "We were the ones that put that crazy stuff in her head."
I looked at the brown-haired girl, taking her hand in mine, "Jane, you are so, so beautiful. Inside and out, and if a guy can't see it, that's his problem."
Mal smiled, "Yeah, you're mom got that right."
Jane looked over at her mother, "I did get pretty lucky in the parents department."

I nodded, sending them a smile as I walked back over to Ben.
He grabbed my hand, pulling my closer to him, using the other hand to tilt my face up, "Now where were we?" He began to lean in, but stopped when someone spoke up.
"Hi, sorry, I just have to fix this-" Evie appeared next to me, reaching up and putting Ben's crown sideways, before stepping back and smiling, "There. Now you're cool enough for our girl."
I chuckled at her, turning around to see Mal instructing a staff member who was putting Adam's spell jar on top of Maleficent.
"Be careful," Mal told him, "That's my mother."
We all laughed, the gang walking over to Ben and I.
"Well," Jay said, slinging his arms around Ben and Carlos, "Let's get this party started!"

Memories of the Fall
This is a story about two sisters, Jun Arai and Jun Sana, and their friends, Juni, Ling and Shu who make their living as members of the Hunter Bureau, an organisation dedicated to dealing with the terrifying flora and fauna endemic to their home Great World. When they get dragged into a grand scheme to unpick the ancient secrets entombed within one its foremost forbidden zones in their world, the Yin Eclipse Mountains, they must all try to survive the dark machinations, eldritch undercurrents and the echoes of a terrible conflict trying to re-emerge into an unsuspecting cosmos that had rather hoped it was done with that kind of thing a few eras hence. So please come join Arai, Sana, Juni, Ling, Shu and the rest of my cast as they journey through strange lands, meet all kinds of unusual beings and unravel some of the power and glory of a land time tried very hard to forget. I promise terrifying mushrooms, angry snakes, confused gods, even more confused cultivators and much, much more! Update schedule: (02/6/2022) As chapters are done, sorry. Progress: Currently up to old chapter 13-15. Chapter 24(or 25)/13, Parts 1 & 2 will be the end of the rework. Part 2 has been temporarily delayed due to me getting a frozen shoulder in the middle of June, which has been very slow to properly clear up. It is getting better, though, but Shoulder/neck is the worst set of muscles to have issues with ;( You can currently pick up most story threads after the rewritten chapters, starting from chapter 13-14 (old) Genre-wise, this is a bit hard to pin down. It's technically a Xianxia (because cultivators!), but it also veers towards Xuanhuan and has more traditional High Fantasy elements and a bit of Gods and Monsters and All Myths Are (on some levels) Valid. It also has a fairly large, ensemble cast, so if multiple point's of view are not your thing I am sorry. It won't ever really be considered 'grimdark' by any real measure of that definition but it does go to some complicated and fairly places dark occasionally, which I will note in author pre-chapter notes when expedient!. About the Author I mainly write fiction for my own hobby, it makes a nice change from academic scribbling! I started writing this quite a number of years ago. It has grown somewhat organically out of a bunch of different interests in all kinds of Mythology, World Building, Drawing Maps, Archaeology, Anthropology, History and Epic Fantasy fiction into what it is today. So I hope you enjoy the story and thanks for reading! Other stuff The cover is made by the author, using photos taken by the author. There is a Discord Server- Please come and chat, but beware of spoilers.
