Power is only deserving of those strong enough,

Be it good or bad only those with strength can survive.

Just like the cactus,

compared to the Dodder flower who can only depend on others to survive

He strives in even the toughest conditions standing tall in all his majesty with no one but himself to support him.

But beware of the dodder for once it latches onto you, your future will be looking very grim.

"Who Are You!" She shouts in hostility. A blaze revolving in her black orbs.

"Hmph, with your identity? Shut up and let me kill you!" I say in a deep voice. Was I threatening enough? Should I have exaggerated a bit more?

Meanwhile on Sebastians side..

Hearing Melia's arrogant voice coming from inside he smile's happily, face brimming with glee.

"This is how my future wife should behave." He says in his baby voice. He thinks very proudly of Melia. It was expected though, seeing as she is the only baby in his 2 years of existence.

If you are wondering what happened to the look out, her dead body is being used as Sebastian's chair.

The sounds from inside get louder and fiercer, but his facial expression is as nonchalant as ever. Not a cell inside his body feels bad about not helping Melia.

"Hmm, my wife should be able to handle herself, no use buŧŧing in." Also taking into consideration Melia's peraonality she would surely want the victory and honor all to herself.

Turning over the dead body he touches her head and closes his eyes.

What he saw made him flabbergasted. This woman practices the dark arts of the Akuma tribe in the Sarahmi desert. They use their eyes to control people. A single glance and you will be entagled. It requires a lot of training and mental power.

The target has to be looking directly into your eyes and and using a pupil dilation method, you shoot out spiritual energy into the other person's eyes. The spiritual energy has to be a hair's breath, anything larger can leave the victim blind, exposing the mastermind behind it.

He does not understand how a detestable sultry vixen like her was able to come into contact with such an extremely secluded tribe, they usually stay away from people of other ways of life, especially one with her social standing.

"Its quite pathetic. A woman such as yourself, using despicable means just for power and wealth. Have you not heard of the proverb, 'A man's greed is like a snake that wants to swallow an elephant', meaning no matter how hard you try it is just not possible. Stupid woman.

An ugly appearance on the outside and a ghastly look on the inside. Someone who's heart is as black as yours does not deserve to live. You will only bring down this kingdom and everyone in it."

With that he quickly moves away covering his nose in disgust.

"Geez she smells bad."

Disdain flickers across his features as he looks at her, no sympathy at all. For what reason anyway, she brought this onto herself. He brings out a wet napkin, from goddess knows where and wipes his hand.

(A/N Looks like someone's a germaphobe.)

There, he finds a bracelet. Beautfully crafted. It is gold with red ruby stones inlaid on it.

Sebastian, carefully inspects it making sure it's real before putting it away inside of his pocket.

"This will make for a pretty present for my pretty wifey." His chubby cheeks produce a happy smile satisfied with himself.

After seeing that there is nothing else in value on her person he tisks in annoyance before going back to standing guard. Eunuch Wang is strewn out on the grass in a deep, sleep snoring heavily. Sebastian calmly looks away from the man's body, his eyes looking at the moon.

The moon glows in brilliance as if smiling at the young boy, praising him for his intelligence and quick wittedness. The moon goddess, Etherina gazes through her crystal boy at the scene happening below. A smile of longing is permanently etched onto her face, as her hand carressess it.

Sigh, "I hope we can meet again, my beloved."

Back on Melia's side......

The bitch actually dared to hit me! Is she fuċkɨnġ crazy?? I Wonder if she was ever dropped on her head as a child. It surekt wasn't damn hard enough!

"Your not the only one with the fire element you know..." I drawl out lazily. I lick the blood off of my lips to scare her bit. Eck, disgusting.

Chanting a sleeping spell, I call upon the fairies of slumber. Their blue wings fly around her and with a shrill scream dive towards her. Absorbed inside of her head she makes to shout in pain but is quickly knocked out. Who said I was going to make it painless?

Isn't she suppose to be on bed rest anyway, adding a few wounds will make it more realistic. Hehehe.

I drop to the ground right on her face and stomp on her head a bit with my tiny shoes leaving miniature footprints on her face. Did I forget to mention that I'd levitated off of the ground to get a good position to strike at her. Oops.

I snatch the vile off her and send it into my space. I will investigate these matters clearly later. This body is going to be a pain to carry back. I kick her again. Angry at her for making me do work. HMPH!

I yawn in exhaustion. Why is this banquet so damn blasted long. The bloody hell?

Moving to daddy's side I check to see if he is still breathing. Few, he is. That's a relief.

I still don't get it though, after all that fighting he still hasn't stirred.

Old man! Do you know how to wake my daddy up. He is still sleeping.

Ugh, you brat! What do you want. I am already in a bad mood since that stupid bird of yours isn't giving me any chicken.

Calm your self you old hag, dont get your balls twisted. Just cuz you can't get it up, doesn't mean you have to take it on others.I just want to know how to wake up my dad.

I can already see his face turning red in shame and anger, and laugh evily to myself. I knew my shameless words would hit him right where it hurts. No one can beat me in dirty talk.

Shockingly, I learned this phrase when a girl in my school said it to one of our male classmates. Of course he was thoroughly embarrassed but that doesn't mean she got off scot free either.

Hmph, Shameless! But since I don't feel like conversing with you any longer I am going to make this short.

He inhales to calm his anger and says:

You see the water in your space.

Yeah.

Just give him two cups full of it along with 2 tears from that bird of yours in each cup. Then he will be able to wake up.

Third person

Of course she doesn't need any of Baozi's tears but the old man was being spiteful, angry that he couldn't get any fried chicken for lunch and was forced to eat one of the sucky fish from the lake.

Either way its a win for him and Melia's dad for Baozi's tears are special and does miraculous things for the mana power inside of one's body.

End of third person

Melia did all of the instructions the bitter old man told her to do. Sadly, a bird was harmed in the process of making the tonic. Now, regarding Baozi's tears she simply threatened to cook him and serve him to the old man as his final meal along with his cousin's twice removed.

She didn't want to make Baozi cry but she had too. Don't fret though, for she gave Baozi 3 high ranked spiritual herbs as way to say sorry, along with a verbal apology. He quickly forgived her and the old man just rolled his eyes. Dumb bird.

She gives her dad the drink, and nods her head when the old man tells her that he'll wake up in 30 minutes.

That's more than enough time for her to take care of Jezebeth and return to the banquet with Tian Tian without anyone noticing.

■■■■■■■■■■■□□■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

Here is another one, like I said. It is much longer too. What do you think about Jezebeth's relationship with, in Tian Tian's words that sultry vixen.

Is Baozi ever going to be left alone?

Is the old man ever going to be satisfied?

And what is with the sadness in this story, Etherina and the old man are always sighing, could it be something about their past. Maybe they've met before.

Who knows?

Hehe I am tired and I want to sleep goodnight my lovely readers.

LIL BADDIES RETREAT!
