[The Woodcarver's Curse] 20 "Follow me," Uranus said as he summoned a portal. "The portal to Ethervale?" I asked. "You'll see..." "Um... it's time we head back,"Eden said, stroking Charlotte's ghostly fur. "Okay, later, sis!" I called as I stepped trough the portal, just in time to hear Eden say, "Later, sis!" In Ethervale, I followed Uranus to the 'evil' side of it. "Malum! I've got the queen!" Uranus called. Queen? Malum? Who are they? I looked up and saw a gigantic volcano with a face of a jack-o-lantern. "Is this girl the queen?" the volcano's voice boomed. "Yes, now you may address her as Queen Alice!" Uranus called. Queen Alice? Uranus turned to me, "This is Malum (my volcano friend). The word 'malum' is Latin for 'evil'. He is currently the king of Nefariomire (this place's name). When he retires, he will give you his job and you'll be queen of Nefariomire. Pretty cool, right? As queen, you make sure no angel steps foot in Nefariomire and no demon steps foot in Luminaura (the land of good). If a source of evil steps foot in Luminaura, the queen of good (a unicorn called Aureliana) will turn him/her good. If a source of good steps foot in Nefariomire, punish them, k!lI them." I looked at Uranus, then at Malum. And I said something I would've regretted if I were young, but I didn't regret it now, "I'll be Nefariomire's queen once you retire, your majesty." and Uranus placed a crown on my head (shown in the thumbnail) and I smiled.
Do you really think Alice will be the queen in Nefariomire?
