(Ding….Ding…Ding…)(Ding...ding...Ding...Ding)(Ding...Ding ding ...ding)

Years ago, there was once a woman they called Rapunzel… the princess of dreams… she was said to be so beautiful and kind… after all, she made sure that people were safe in their dreams…But… the more time she spent doing it, the more she suffered under Death, who also wanted the nightmares…Rapunzel was against it… and took on more and more. But eventually… she had to also take the dreams of people who were evil… people who liked to dream of killing… abuse, cheating… lust…Rapunzel… was pushed more and more… and more… toward the dark side… until her skin… became gray… her hair from blonde to lilac… her eyes from blue to yellow…Her form changed as she absorbed the negative thoughts and feelings of humans…Suddenly… Rapunzel began sending more nightmares to people… but that wasn't the problem…Because… then she began… to hunt people… in their dreams… making sure they would fall into a deep, long sleep.

(Gulp!)

Rapunzel: "Curse you humans… do you think I enjoy always helping you… while I must always stay awake to give you good night dreams!!!… You want to sleep… then gladly!!! Hahahahahahha… hahhahahahahahahah… hahahahahah!!"

Death… did not like this, so he sealed her in a star that people call the Rapunzel Star… and since then she is sealed there…But… so that something like this wouldn't happen again, Death decided… to never create another successor for dreams… and instead took William as a successor, as a guardian…

(Ding!) (Ding!)But there was another reason why Rapunzel did this… she was jealous.While she remained trapped in her tower where her father locked her since birth, she had to watch people be happy… laugh… eat… celebrate… and she behind a window in a tower…Rapunzel cried so much… that at some point, she even cried blood…

(Ding) (Ding!)

Rapunzel: "Curse you!!!… You humans!!!… Laugh… laugh and laugh… I sense your suffering and give you dreams and protect your children through my fairies during sleep…Yet… yet I am… the one who is truly sad… 500 thousand years I have been trapped in this damned tower as a cursed banshee… who was not allowed to see her mother… not loved by her father… not allowed to laugh… not allowed to have children…Curse you…And now you use me for your… lust… feelings and brutal desires… so that I give you the dream you want!!!…What do you think I am—your mother!!! I am a witch… even if a banshee, I am half spirit, half witch… I have feelings…"

(Back to the present time!)

Bella: "And here we are…"Fiona: "Thank you, Bella…"Bella: "Oh come on… of course… you're a human but I really like you…"Fiona: "Thank you…"Bella: "Hehe."Fiona: "Huh?"Bella: "Hmm, something's wrong…"Fiona: "Where are the others?"

It was… empty…

Bella: "Your friends… right, they aren't here…"Fiona: "But they can't just leave like that, it's dangerous out there…"Bella: "Hmm…"

They continued walking…

(Patch!) (Patch!)

Trewlony: "Got you… Fiona Househould…"Fiona: "Ugh… a member of the Dark Umbrella… what have you done to my friends!!!"Trewlony: "Your friends… hahhh…"

He clapped his hands and they appeared… tied up.

Daisy: "mmm…"Fiona: "ugh…"Trewlony: "My name is Trewlony, Trewlony… yes, first name and last name Trewlony…"Fiona: "I understand… you're the pursuer… you belong to the high rank of the Dark Umbrella… the ones they call the Five Moon Falcons. You handle pursuits or serious monster attacks… I knew I had seen or heard of you before… they call you the Dark Hat…"Trewlony: "My mission is to kill you… before you ask… Meliodas is really sad—"Fiona: "I understand."Trewlony: "He can't help you, he tried to convince the Dark Umbrella not to kill you… but you killed Lady Natasha…"Fiona: "She worked with Edwardson… I killed a traitor… she betrayed the Dark Umbrella by giving Edwardson valuable information and pretending he was a member…"Trewlony: "Hmm?… Can you prove that?"Fiona: "I cannot…"Trewlony: "Hmm?"Fiona: "But his body is here… maybe they'll find something important…"Trewlony: "Not necessary… even if Lady Natasha indeed did some strange things… she was an important person… I must kill you, Fiona, in the name of the Dark Umbrella organization…"

Ash emerged from his body.

Trewlony: "It won't hurt… don't worry…"Bella: "No!!!"Trewlony: "Hmm… but maybe…"Fiona: "Huh."Trewlony: "These people helped you… did they know you betrayed the Dark Umbrella?"Fiona: "No…"Elizabeth: "mmmm…"Fiona: "Hhh… they didn't know that I betrayed the Dark Umbrella… please… don't hurt them…"Dark Umbrella: "Hmph… the honor is this… that they helped you anyway… hmm…"

He looked at them.

Fiona: "hhhh…"Trewlony: "Hmm?"

(Crash!)

Suddenly, an earthquake…

Fiona: "ugh."Trewlony: "What's going on here…"

(Meanwhile)

While Trewlony and Fiona talked, the clown William began attacking the Kraken.

Zeldores: "Rooooooaaaaaaaarrrrr."

The tentacles grabbed at the clown.

Clown: "How foolish… is that all you can do…"Zeldores: "Well, if that's what you want."

His horn on his forehead shot a magical beam at him, but the clown used a mirror and reflected it back at Zeldores.

Zeldores: "ghhhh."Clown: "Give up… Oz made you only for destruction… magic… against me you have no chance… against an undead and a mage, you have no chance…"Zeldores: "As if you are undead… you are a human…"Clown: "Well… I was born in the belly of a dead woman… I am human, that's true… well, half. I am a hybrid. What people do not know is that my mother was a normal human…"Zeldores: "What?"Clown: "Hmph… but she was also half dwarf."Zeldores: "That explains why you have the size, but you're not as short as a dwarf… more like a human child…"Clown: "I told you, half dwarf, half undead. I was born in the belly of a dead woman. My real father was a… Wendigo…"

Wendigos are like humans, they look human… but the difference is… they only eat human flesh or animal flesh… that's why many cases of eaten humans happen…The only difference you can find between a Wendigo and a human is very tricky but possible… Wendigos have a problem with strong smells… perfumes for example… because Wendigos can smell three times better… so it's three times stronger…Meaning William had a mother who was half human, half dwarf, and his real father was a Wendigo. Wendigos are not like vampires, they are not truly undead—they are transformed from human to Wendigo when a human eats human flesh…The Wendigo curse punishes humans who dare eat their own kind…This curse did not come from the Guardians, they are not strong enough… but from the family of Death… a specific one… the Dark Bride Lilly…

Clown: "hmmmm…"Zeldores: "Hmph… so the only thing you inherited from your mother is the height…"Clown: "Yes… you could say that… My mother probably met my father, whether she knew he was a Wendigo or not, I don't know… I only know because my adoptive father told me…"

If you're wondering, the clown is 157 cm tall… his twin is a bit taller, Luiz is about 168 cm.

Zeldores: "Hmm… but I don't quite understand."Clown: "Hmm?"Zeldores: "(Sweats) You're already short but a dwarf is much shorter."Clown: "Oh… I can actually become shorter… my brother took more of my father's genes, you know, while I took more of my mother's… well, a bit…"Zeldores: "Tsss, but that won't help you stop me."Clown: "You don't understand. You've seen your attacks don't affect me. You can't defeat me without magic… quite simple… dwarves have a lot of magic, you know…"Zeldores: "Hmph… if you mean magic… do you also mean the circle above the city?"Clown: "Huh?"

He looked up.

Clown: "ugh!!!"

A huge magic circle. It looked like a rudder.

Zeldores: "Rudder of destruction… no magic can stop it… while you talked, it gathered energy."Clown: "But I don't feel magic from you?! How is that… then I must stop you…"Zeldores: "Too late…"

The rudder moved… and then released the beam.

Zeldores: "Hahahahahahahahaha… hahahaha… that's it… you are dead… all of you… humans… and the clown cannot stop me… huh?…"Clown: "ugh!…"

The circle was stopped… and… the figure… the one who stopped it… looked like… a wolf.

Zeldores: "…Death…"

Suddenly everything turned dark. The atmosphere…

Rudeus: "My foolish son… long time no see."Clown: "Father…"Rudeus: "I heard that the Kraken is awake… I prefer to prevent that, even if I dislike interfering… but it is necessary…"Zeldores: "Hahhhh…"Rudeus: "…Grave of Damnation…"

Suddenly Zeldores landed elsewhere.

Zeldores: "Where am I… what…"

All around were graves and waves of water…

Rudeus: "Hello… Zeldores…"Zeldores: "…ugh…"Rudeus: "You must know, I don't intend to kill you… I will spare you if you agree to one condition… if you two want to fight… then here…"Zeldores: "Uh… what do you mean."Clown: "What… where am I…"Zeldores: "(He's here too)"Rudeus: "Zeldores… if you win… you may destroy the city for all I care… and you, William… if you have truly become stronger… then prove it to me…I made it fair… here is water so Zeldores can use his tentacles, and here are graves so you can use your spirit magic, William… there are many objects here… I make no exceptions… begin."

Clown: "ugh."Zeldores: "Then… Water Spiral!!!"

He hurled many water spirals at the clown, who dodged them.

Clown: "ghhh…"

He stretched out his hands, two eyes appeared.

Clown: "Well then… my monster form!!!"

He transformed: eyes appeared on his hands and arms, also on his forehead… long claws and a long sword.

Clown: "Dark Grave Guardian!!!"

He attacked.

Zeldores: "Hahaha… that's what I wanted to see… hehe… you're not even so small now…"Clown: "ghhhhhhh…"Zeldores: "Come on… tell me why you protect humans… hahahahaha… what is the reason why you protect these worthless humans."Clown: "...(Worthless… hmph… I still hate humans… but… I cannot deny that I see no reason to drag innocent people who still have a future into this…Besides, my wife Bella is there… and the girl who helped me… the girl who suffered so much… Fiona… is also there… and she has become… important!!!)… aaaaaaaaaaarghhhhhhh!!!"Zeldores: "ugh!!!"Clown: "Shut… your… MOUTH!!!"

(Crash!)

He crashed into a mountain.

Zeldores: "urk!!!!"Rudeus: "ugh… (…William… look at that… Holle was right… you really are… strong… when given a reason to live…)"

(Many years ago)

Holle: "Father, you should give William… more chances…"Rudeus: "Hmm… tell me one thing… why do you think William is important…"Holle: "He is my little brother… hehe."Rudeus: "Holle… I know you too well… you don't care about family things… you don't care about others… in fact, you are the most evil among your siblings…So why are you doing this?"Holle: "Oh please, I'm not that evil… well… I think William can be strong as long as he has a reason to live… Beatrice took that away from him."Rudeus: "You mean that human woman?… Isabella?"Holle: "Exactly…"

(Back to the present time)

Zeldores: "Damn it!!!!"Clown: "Hahhhh…"Zeldores: "You're in my way… stop saving these humans."Clown: "I do what I want. You don't tell me what to do. Neither you… nor Father!!! Nobody… I am the clown! Guardian of Corruption!! Nobody tells me what to do!!! Do you hear me!!! You jerk!… You were created by a human… you have no right to speak!!!"Zeldores: "My master… is not only a human… my master… is the most powerful dark sorcerer!!!"Clown: "Well… if he is so powerful… why was he killed by normal humans!!!Let me tell you something… whether me… Oz… or you… we… do not age, but we can die. We are living beings!!!So stop thinking it is a blessing not to age!!!"Zeldores: "Huh?"Clown: "Hahhhh… 500 years… I lived… 500 years alone… 500 years… I had to live with the guilt that I was the reason Bella had to suffer…500 years of loneliness…I would rather be someone who ages… than that…I have my Bella back… but still…Being human… aging… dying… it's okay… being eternally young is overrated!!!"Zeldores: "You have no idea."Clown: "Oh yeah…"Zeldores: "roaaaaaaaarrr!!!"

He attacked him… and the clown went at him too, both at the same time.

(Fishhh!)

Zeldores: "Hhh…"Clown: "...(silent)…"Rudeus: "Hmm?"Clown: "urk…"

The clown fell to the ground.

Rudeus: "Well, seems… it's over… hmm?"Zeldores: "Damn it… urk!!!"

He exploded.

(Splach!)

The blood splashed on Rudeus.

Rudeus: "Hmm…"Clown: "Hahhhh…"Rudeus: "It seems… you won… William…"Clown: "Hahh."Rudeus: "Before I say congratulations."Clown: "…yes?"Rudeus: "Hahhh…"

(Stares)

Rudeus: "This suit was damn expensive… do you know that…"Clown: "uhm…"Rudeus: "Well whatever…"

(Snaps fingers)

Rudeus: "I'll be going then… by the way, William."William: "Huh?"Rudeus: "You truly are… my son…"William: "Father… about… Bella…"Rudeus: "It's fine… I agree… I'm not against it after seeing you became better… but you didn't do that alone."William: "No…"Rudeus: "Who helped you?"William: "Uh… a human… named Fiona… a woman… a cursed one… she was cursed by Holle."Rudeus: "Oh dear…"William: "Card of the Mysterious."Rudeus: "What a curse… well… whatever… I'm going now… take care of yourself."William: "ugh."

He vanished.

William: "I will…"

(A few minutes later)

Fiona: "ugh…"Trewlony: "Well whatever… seems it's over…"

He aimed at Fiona.

Fiona: "ghhhh…"Trewlony: "Hmm… or maybe…"

He lowered his pistol.

Fiona: "huh."

Trewlony: "Mmm… help…"Fiona: "Huh?"Trewlony: "I think I might pee my pants…"Fiona: "Huh?"

It's like this… Trewlony gets attacks when he uses too much of his ash ability.

Trewlony: "mmm…"

(Crash!)

Trewlony: "ugh."

He was knocked unconscious by Bella.

Fiona: "(Sweats) Uh…"Bella: "Well… that was easy."Trewlony: "(Farts)…"

(Silence)

Fiona: "…ghhhhhh…"Bella: "ughhhh… quick, get out of here…"

They freed Daisy, Oliver, Elizabeth and Jane.

Bella: "Ugh… hahhh…"Fiona: "ughhhh… what a smell…"Bella: "I would hate having such an ability…"

(A few minutes later)

Grey: "There, tied up… what do we do with him…"Elizabeth: "Let's just leave him in this boat… in the middle of the sea…"Grey: "Good idea."Fiona: "hmmm…"Elizabeth: "Finally it's over. I don't know how… but it's over…"

They looked upward.

(A few days later)

Elizabeth: "Fiona… now you're really going, right?"Fiona: "Yes…"Elizabeth: "Thank you so much for your help…"Fiona: "I thank you… for the help…"

(A few hours later)

(Klonggg!)

The ship set off.

Fiona: "Hahhh…"Crane: "Off to Roselande…"Fiona: "mhm."

(Meanwhile)

Trewlony: "…(sweats)… what… is… happening now…"

In the middle of the sea stood poor Trewlony.

Trewlony: "Hello… hello… anyone!… help!!!!!!"

You really have to feel sorry for him…
