King Onyx vs Lisbeth the Sick
In his pink themed bedroom, King Onyx lay naked in his bed surrounded by his various stuffed animals. Wearing his sky-blue headphones, he listened to one of his favorite podcasts on his laptop. King Onyx caught a whiff of marijuana coming from downstairs in his castle. A smile ran across his face. Not because of the marijuana, the King didn't indulge in that type of thing, but because of who was the source of the marijuana. It was Herrera, a friend and one of his top agents. Herrera was the Chilled Black Samurai or who the King jokingly referred to as "The Old Weeboo". Even without using his telepathy, Onyx knew Herrera would knock on his door. Quickly grabbing the sheet hanging off the left corner of his bed, King Onyx placed it over his bare ass so Herrera wouldn't see him butt-naked yet again. Onyx couldn't care less who saw him naked, but Herrera was heterosexual. Plus, he had a tendency to just barge into the King's room since the two of them have known each other for many years. Herrera had competed in the third Devilry Combat Tournament during Onyx's current reign as King Of Mayland. The two of them had become close friends because of their mutual love of video games, particularly fighting games. Despite Herrera only earning third place in the tournament. Onyx recognized the man's fighting potential and decided to make him one of his agents alongside James, Yura, and several others.
Seconds later, the door to his room opened. Of course, it was none other than Herrera, standing in front of his door with a blunt sticking out his mouth and wearing his usual urban samurai styled getup with his sword to the right side of him. Upon making eye contact with his King, the tall dark-skinned muscular man took another pull from his blunt before putting it out in order to give his report on his recent assignment.
Herrera: Good morning, Onyx.
King Onyx: Herrera... you know I don't like the smell of marijuana in my room.
Herrera: My bad.
King Onyx: So, how did everything go in Finland?
Herrera: It was good, I guess. Managed to locate their mischievous Sages over there before I kicked their asses and handed them over to the authorities. Kara said to thank you for sending me to help bring the troublesome Sages to justice. Kara should've been thanking me, though, since I'm the one who actually had to track them down and shit.
King Onyx: I'll be sure to shoot Kara a message later today, but thank you, Herrera, for being willing to go over there and help Kara find those troublesome Sages. I'm just glad that Finland is a relatively peaceful country. Sadly, villainy exists everywhere in this world. Anyways, unless you have something else to report to me, I'm going to get back to listening to Gigi's podcast until I'm ready to go downstairs and have breakfast. In the meantime, you can ask one of the chefs to cook you something unless you just want to go play your newest fighting games. Yura should be back from her errand soon and James and Anna are out on an mission alongside Hellin, Orsela, and Scylla. Anyways, glad you made it back home safe, dude. Unless some world-wide crisis takes place, you have the rest of the day off.
Herrera: Sounds good to me Onyx but there's one thing I feel like I should tell you. Before I left Finland, Kara mentioned bizarre and pretty fucking terrible things happening in Norway as of late. Several children have gone missing. The authorities think it has something to do with a demon. However, Kara thinks it's something else, but who fucking knows really. Everybody and they auntie are too afraid to do any real investigating.
King Onyx: Norway and children going missing? Funny you mentioned that since that's the very topic being discussed on the podcast. I'm curious to know what's exactly happening in Norway, especially to those poor children.
Herrera: Yeah, it sucks, but what's going on in Norway is not your problem, Onyx, nor should you make it your problem. Hell, to be truthful, I had no business in Finland, but someone likes to make friends abroad and make their friend's problem their own.
King Onyx: Dude, please, and besides weren't you the one telling me how bored you were just being in Mayland lately?
Herrera: Fair enough. Anyway, I'ma have some food cooked for me then get some sleep. Probably stream later today if no crazy ass shit goes down. If it does, just ask Yura or Hellin to handle it. Later, Onyx, and don't get yourself involved in shit that doesn't concern you, especially on your day off to relax,
King Onyx: Later, Herrera, and I promise to take it easy today... at least try.
Herrera bade King Onyx farewell before exiting his room. He went downstairs to ask the chefs to make him something to eat. Seconds after Herrera exited his room, King Onyx removed the sheet that was covering his ass and resumed listening to the podcast. Learning more about the recent tragedies that's been happening in Norway, Onyx couldn't help but become more concerned about the situation; especially the possibility of the culprit being a demon like himself. Few corners of the world accepted demons. Most places viewed them as ungodly fiends who prey on beings of the mortal world. Onyx knew how hard demons and even half-demons, like himself, work to encourage the public to be more accepting of demons. Despite having zero obligations to worry about anything going on in Norway, the King felt he would be less of a man if he didn't do something about the situation happening in that country; especially if indeed a demon was responsible for the spree of missing children in Norway.
Yura was still away on assignment. James and company were still on their mission. Knowing that the rest of the residents within his castle would be none the wiser of his plans, King Onyx quickly cleaned himself up and dressed by using a bedazzle spell taught to him by Queen Othello. Once dressed in his signature revealing pink outfit, the King opened a portal in his bedroom and appeared seconds later in a desired location in Norway. Standing in a forest, Onyx used his telepathic powers to scan the area, He only sensed the usual wildlife surrounding him, which he desired. The last thing he wanted was for someone to spot the King of Mayland wandering around a forest in Norway unannounced. Remembering the description of the forest from the podcast he listened to earlier where the children reportedly went missing, Onyx recognized this place as the dreaded Umber Forest. According to the podcast, there was an abandoned manor located northeast of the Umber Forest. Unafraid of what dangers may lie ahead, Onyx proceeded to the location of the manor. Minutes after he began his journey, Onyx spotted the abandoned manor a few feet ahead, along with picking up the presence of another within the forest. Fortunately, he sensed that it was the mind of a child and thankfully, one that was alive.
Onyx proudly patted himself on the back for making the right decision to travel to Norway instead of remaining in the comfort of his castle. He then revealed his presence to the young girl in the forest before she ended up sharing the fate of the other children who went missing upon entering this forest. Onyx calmly yelled out hello as a young girl no more than 8-years-old stepped out before him. She had ashen blonde hair and wore an adorable light-yellow dress with sneakers to match. Upon seeing the flamboyant man in pink, the young girl stared back at him nervously. To assure the young girl that he meant her no harm, Onyx knelt on his right knee as he introduced himself. He used the name "Alex" instead of his actual name, just in case somehow this girl might've known who he was had he used his real name.
Alex: There's no need to be afraid of my, little one. I mean you no harm, but you must know this is a very dangerous place for little kids like you. It's a good thing I got here when I did otherwise something bad may have happened to you. Now, you wanna tell me your name?
The girl still hesitantly stared at Onyx despite how non-threatening he came off. Not wanting to use his telepathy on her quite yet, Onyx decided on another approach to get the young girl to open to him.
Alex: Oh, you're shy... I was pretty shy myself when I was your age... man, that was a long time ago. Hey, tell you what, if you tell me your name, dear, I'll buy you some dessert after I bring you home to your parents. Please don't be afraid of me and tell me your name.
The little girl finally gave in.
Annie: My name is Li-- it's Annie!
Alex: Oh, my that's an adorable name for a little angel like you. Now, Annie, how about you show me the way home back to your parents?
Annie: Oh Mister... I kinda got myself lost coming here, so perhaps you can lead the way instead?
Alex: Oh, okay, sweetheart, that won't be a problem at all. Just give Mr. Alex a few seconds to remember how he got here as well.
Onyx could've easily created a portal to take Annie and himself to the city area of Norway, and just leave her to the proper authorities to bring her home. Instead, he decided to use his telepathy on Annie to telepathically retrace the girl's steps on how she arrived at the Umber Forest, and simply take them back the opposite direction. Upon looking into Annie's mind, Onyx was met with a horrifying truth that brought him both terror and rage. Realizing the little girl standing before him wasn't really Annie, but a sinister witch by the name of Lisbeth who had taken over Annie's body. Seeing the expression on Onyx's face, Lisbeth realized that not only was "Alex" not who he said he was, but that he possessed telepathic powers and discovered her true identity.
Lisbeth: Damn it all! I knew there was something unusual about you, especially in those flamboyant ass clothes of yours. Filthy telepath! How dare you invade my mind!
King Onyx: Witch! So, you're the one responsible for the missing children. I'm going to make you fucking sorry you were ever born!
Lisbeth: You will do nothing but die, foolish man! May you be devoured by the very ground you stand upon!
Lisbeth's right hand glowed in a greenish-brown aura as the ground beneath Onyx grabbed a hold of him and started to suck him in.
King Onyx: What in the world! Am I being swallowed by the ground?
Lisbeth: It's a lovely little spell of mine that will be your demise. If you weren't so old, I would've eaten you like the children I made venture into this forest by using my dark magic. Fortunately, I was able to lure a child named Annie here an hour before your meddling ass arrived, and the child proved to be a suitable host for a new body. Unlike the others before her who weren't suitable, and I ended up sacrificing their worthless souls to my manor.
King Onyx: This makes absolutely no fucking sense! Why would a woman as capable as yourself need to possess the body of an innocent child, let alone lure children to this damn place and kill them?
Lisbeth: Not that it's any of your business but if you must know, many years ago I was cursed by a fellow witch who made my original body decay. Thus, I went searching for ways to reverse the curse and once I failed to do so, I sought out other ways to keep myself alive until I found another worthy of starting a new life, which was little Annie. As for the other little bastards I sacrificed, they were only to slow down the effects of my curse along with empowering the curse powers within my manor. Speaking of that witch who cursed me ... you kind of remind me of her, which is why I'm going to enjoy your death. Sadly, I won't be able to watch you die as I need to handle one final loose end before starting my new life. Farewell "Alex" or whatever your fucking name is. Not that it will matter in a few minutes.
Lisbeth then vanished before Onyx's eyes. Seconds after, the coast was clear. The King used his water magic to create a geyser beneath his feet to spring himself out of the ground. He made sure the geyser was only big enough to help him escape the death trap created by Lisbeth, but not visible to be spotted outside of the forest. Onyx then created a portal to appear right outside the manor. The King barged inside and went looking for Lisbeth, and hopefully find the real Annie before it was too late. After making his way up the long staircase and using his telepathy to locate Lisbeth's whereabouts, Onyx found his target. She appeared standing before a completely bald-headed, grotesque looking woman wearing a tattered plum colored dress with various areas of her skin peeling off. Onyx immediately realized that the grotesque woman on the ground was the real body of Lisbeth with Annie's soul trapped inside. Shocked to see "Alex" inside her manor, the angry Lisbeth turned her attention away from Annie to confront him.
Lisbeth: Impossible! How in the hell did you fucking escape my death trap?
King Onyx: I'm much more capable than you can imagine, you disgusting bitch! Annie, sweetie, everything is going to be okay now. I'm here now to make things right.
Lisbeth: And how will you do that, you stupid bitch! I'm already in possession of the girl's body while she slowly dies inside my decaying body. Unless you know the correct spell to reverse what I've done, there's nothing you can do to save this little girl from suffering the fate that was placed upon me. Instead, the two of you will die in this place together!
King Onyx: You're a real piece of shit and a dumb one at that! Why would I need a spell when I'm a fucking telepath! I can just force you to switch bodies back with Annie, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
Swiftly, Onyx's duo-colored eyes glowed as he took possession of Lisbeth's mind within Annie's body. Despite her efforts to resist Onyx's mind control, the witch was unable to fight back as Onyx successfully forced Lisbeth to swap bodies back with Annie. Once Annie's soul was back inside her body, the girl instinctively ran towards Onyx. He held his arms out to pick up the little girl. Lisbeth, now back in her correct decaying body, stared menacingly at Onyx and Annie.
Lisbeth: N--ot F--air... NO--TTT FAIIIR! I-- I de--served...
Lisbeth's speech was hardly intelligible because of the effects of her curse.
King Onyx: Not fair these nuts, you fucking witch! I don't know exactly why you were cursed in the past but based on your actions here, it's obvious you fucking deserved it! You killed so many children you killed along with nearly succeeding in stealing this girl's life for your own selfish reasons. Now, I'm going to make sure you die here. Annie, sweetie, I'm going to take you home, but I need to get rid of this bitch first for good.
While holding onto Annie with his right hand, King Onyx used his left hand to shoot a blob of water at Lisbeth. The blob of water quickly covered Lisbeth's body whole before King Onyx closed his left hand. The water crushed Lisbeth, putting an end to the witch for good. Seconds after Lisbeth's death, the manor began to crumble. It didn't faze King Onyx as he opened a portal for Annie and himself to escape the manor's destruction.
After finishing up in Norway, he opened a portal back to his bedroom. Upon stepping out of his portal, Onyx spotted Yura, Herrera, and his other agents: Meghan and Red standing in his bedroom with their arms folded in disapproval. They learned from Herrera that Onyx went off to investigate the situation in Norway, which he had no business doing as the King of Mayland! Despite knowing he did the right thing, the King remained silent as he prepared to receive his tongue lashing from Yura and the others.
Yura: So, Your Majesty, instead of enjoying your day off, as you were supposed to, you decided to take your ass to Norway and meddle in a situation that had nothing to do with you, let alone in your jurisdiction?
Herrera: I knew your ass was going to end up going to find out what happened to those children in Norway.
Meghan: For crying out loud, Your Majesty! When you have a day off... actually have a day off!
Red: Yeah, boss, just because you're a super badass half-demon doesn't mean you fucking run off to every goddamn problem happening around the world.
King Onyx: Y'all done?
Yura: No! Because while I know you meant well, as you always do and you probably actually accomplished something while over in Norway, that is no excuse for you to run off to solve problems that don't concern you. God forbid if something happened to you.
King Onyx: Holy shit. Well, forgive me for giving a damn about others.
Yura: Nothing wrong with caring about others, Your Majesty, and you know I appreciate your kind soul. It's what made me change my ways and come and serve you. I also know as a King, your responsibility is to your people first, Onyx. You're the King of Mayland, and not the entire world. How many times must we have this conversation?
King Onyx: Until I'm dead, Yura, until I'm dead.
Red: There's really no use in scolding our boss, guys. At the end of the day, he's going to do what he wants whether we approve of it or not.
Meghan: Pretty much just like Miss Hellin.
King Onyx: Now, will the four of you please leave my room, so I can get naked and catch up on my podcast.
Yura: That's fine, Your Majesty, but no more excursions for the rest of the day. And, you're also taking tomorrow off to have a legitimate off day. Your dinner will be ready in about a half-hour. Anyway, let's take our leave, gang. I know you mean well, Your Majesty, and you are one of the most powerful beings of this realm; however, as a King, you have a responsibility to your people and cannot make the world's problems your own. As much as it hurts for you to hear this, you can't save everyone.
Yura along with Herrera, Red, and Meghan exit King Onyx's room as he gets undressed and winds down for the night.
