The Fairy Tales: Part I

Logging in....

Player One: Demon

"Welcome to The Legend of Dark Fate"

"You have landed in the fairytale. Observe your surroundings and you will be able to pick up which fairy tale you are in. Hope you remember the tales you heard when you were a child.

You will be assigned tasks as the story proceeds and only on completing them, you can move forward. As soon as the task would complete, you would be informed what to do.

You will be faced with obstruction and only on completing it, you will proceed to the next level.

Let me also remind you then you are close to the first hint. The hint which may answer your questions"

*I hope, I am not stuck with another loser like last time*

Demon thought to herself and turned to look by his side. To his surprise, there was no one. It must be the first time that he had been the first one to arrive.

"This is annoying, how am I supposed to figure out a fairytale? I haven't even read them as a child" she muttered to herself and looked down. He was dressed in a puffy gown.

"No no no this can't be happening" that's when he noticed his voice, it was girlish.

*Should I just kill my avatar so I don't have to be embarrassed further? I might also get another scene next time* he thought to herself but quickly dismissed it. He had already been by one level down.

He wanted to curse out loud to whoever made the game and whoever thought that let's do not tell the players all the rules.

"Your Teammate is going to join you in

"Aaahhhhh" Little Devil almost jumped looking at Demon. Placing one of her hands on her chest, she tried to calm down herself. When she was able to finally speak, she let out a giggle.

"Tell me your name so I could laugh out loud". She was sure it was Demon because the player was rolling his eyes and crossed her arms.

"Have you never seen a woman?" The demon said turning around and finally observing their surroundings.

"I have seen a woman, but you..." Little Devil raised her hand and pointed at Demon's face, "you have a lot of make upon. Also..your hair" She tried to control her laughter but couldn't stop, "your hair...your hair" She couldn't finish her sentence running out of breath.

"What's wrong with my face?" Demon placed his palm on his face and as he looked at it, it was instantly white.

"What am I? And why do you look like a peasant" on hearing Demon's words, Little Devil noticed her dress? It was shabby, old, dirty, and torn at places.

"Most probably a servant, and a very abused one, indeed" She took notes of the surroundings.

They stood near what looked like a castle, but not the one in its finest state. A castle that must have been built with care and love, but due to less maintenance over the years, it deteriorated. Few branches were sprouting from one end to another. The paint was peeling off. It seemed like the person residing inside almost hated it.

"A castle" Little Devil muttered to herself as Demon had already started moving towards it.

"Do you know how many fairy tales happened near the castle?" Little Devil asked the following Demon now.

"Let me guess, almost all?"

They both were into the castle now, which to their surprise seemed much cleaner and well maintained.

"Tintintin"

Their head shot up, and they started reading the announcement.

"Task for now

1. Light the fire, it's cold in the morning

2. Make breakfast

3. Clean the rooms

One of you has to do the task, and the other one has to spoil these tasks.

On completion of the given task, you will move further ahead"

"So I suppose, you are the one doing the task and I have to spoil" Demon pointed at looking at both of their avatars.

"It's gonna be fun," Little Devil said ironically.

"Tell me again, what happened to you, you know in the last game?" Little Devil has already started looking for a fireplace, while Demon had a plan to ruin her plan by searching for water.

"Nothing...it's just. I was...I had a different Avatar, in the last name" Demon said without looking at Little Devil and it became clear to her that it must be something embarrassing.

"Common use those stones, they look like they can start the fire" Demon whispered to Little Devil who had found the fireplace.

Little Devil nodded and started lighting it up, where Demon was prepared with a water bucket to put it out.

Little Devil turned and raised her eyebrows, "Are you ready?" It's like they didn't need to communicate about what they were going to do.

As soon as Little Devil put on the fire, Demon splashed the fire out.

They both bumped fists and smiled. Using the technique both were fulfilling their task.

They carried out to do the same with making breakfast and cleaning the room.

"Task one completed. Have you guessed the fairy tale yet?"

Both of them looked at each other. While the Demon didn't have any idea about the fairytales, Little Devil's mind was already working.

She started observing everything that was in the castle.

"Okay, what do you see?" Demon asked, raising his eyebrows.

"Clothes... Clothes only for women. You and I are women, one good, one evil. One being the maid, other I guess a cunning princess. A fairytale, with a castle but no king."

"What else?"

Little Devil chuckled before looking down "A maid with tiny feet"

"So, you know which fairy tale it is?" Demon asked again, confused now.

"Yes, the girl who loses her glass slipper, Cinderella"

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, the whole castle lit up. The marvelous chandelier hung bathed the room with sparkling light. The floor shone like they were rubbed for hours and so did the windows. The fire was beautifully lit and kept the room warm. The other two figures were just automated and performed certain tasks while not failing to insult Cinderella in between.

On hearing the knock, Demon slightly pulled back Little Devil, who wasn't supposed to be in that room.

"There is a ball, Mother. We all are invited. The Prince would be there too" One of the automated characters said in a cheery voice and started discussing the evening plans.

The darkness fell outside and both Demon and Little Devil were taken to the garden.

"Okay, that made me dizzy," Demon said holding her head.

"What's this part now?" Demon asked, looking at Little Devil, who was still looking at her dress.

"I guess, it's time for me to change"

"Task 2

Cinderella needs to go to the ball, put a spell on each item she needs.

Remember the sooner it's done, the sooner she can go to the ball.

Also don't forget, she has to be back by midnight, or else

You both lose this level"
