Admittedly, that ‘bomb’ did sure sound both appealing to learn about and equally horrifying, not unlike the actual reason for No Man’s land state. “Actually…it was due to Canopy’s former Queen’s rampage once she became the Skullgirl when she tried to wish for World Peace.” His tone is a seemingly somber and…relatively earnest. “A pity too, she left her two daughters behind and the King has been a shut in every since he had to put his poor wife down.”
“Of course, almost everyone now a days is aware of the Queen’s rampage…with it wiping entire countries into non-existence in the span of two weeks.” His tone while still seemingly somber, has a edge of…something. Suspicion, perhaps? His tone shifts back to that polite inquisitive tone. “I assume this is all news to you?” It was a seemingly mundane question…but this wasn’t a mundane situation, was it?
She couldn’t help but be taken aback at the the fact that this was all caused by a person. Though a person uplifted by some mysterious status, still ONE PERSON.
“It’s so very tragic, that such good intentions should lead to such chaos. A pity she couldn’t be helped.”
Plague’s feathers twitched under her robes. She’d heard something in his tone that made her worried he was onto her.
“I do believe I have heard rumors, but I suspected them to be mythologies–not truths. Heh, seems I was the one in denial… To think that one person… did all that. It’s ghastly.”
“This ‘SkullGirl’ business… Is there anyway to stop them from forming? Or are these tragedies simply doomed to repeat until we become extinct?”
“You don’t know the story? Legend has it, any poor dame can wish on the Skullheart, however if she is found impure of heart, both her body and wish will be corrupted into a Mockery of its intentions, with the Lady damned to become a Skullgirl. The previous Queen wished for World Peace, the Skullheart granted it by turning her into a Skullgirl so powerful that the nations at war had to stop their war effort to stop her. The one before her was a Matron of a beloved Opera family who witnessed her family killed in front of her. In her despair, she wished for them back, but the Skullheart did so by turning them into her undead minions.” He neglects to mention his employers role in that last one. “As far as history has known, no woman has been able to escape the Skullheart’s curse.” And neglecting to mention his employers role in the creation of the current Skullgirl as well....
