The sound of the breaking barrier in the frontieer was now, usual. It was always a tingling bell sound like the ones in the mortal budhist temples, when wind hit it. Maleficent knew what to expect whenever she heard it, for it was unique and mighty across all the eons, and merely sighed, told her faithful servant to be watchful over the sects and transported away to wherever the vermin had spawned this time. How a mortal managed to come here, in this land, was still something that haunted her every step; her ancestors surely were twisting in abysmal anger back in Forgetfullness River, wanting her gone for such a terrible deed. Pity for them she had not - and did not intend to - continue their lineage. It'd die with her, were she to be killed one day. Dark eyes wandered through the vines, the muddy waters, and finally landed over mixed plants and grass that surrounded the petite girl, attempting something that only the land knew - death, of course. She scowled, knowing well before she'd seen her that Liú Chénxī was putting herself into trouble, once more. A snap of the finger cut the thorns away before the mortal flesh could be wounded, and watchful demonic sovereign groaned when seeing that now, the emperor's daughter had a sword with her. Ending the enchanted vines with ferociousness.
“ How captivating. Is it a gift from your beloved? ” Maleficent teased, her voice cutting as usual, though now she approached the other. A grin was on the sharp side as she sat on a lonely rock, like a hawk. “ Did he have it bathed by those silly godmothers of yours? If not, it will never work in this place. Good for the beasts that hunt on these grounds... Poor things have been so hungry. ” While she was bound to never be able to kill the girl herself, the animals were another matter. So was the land. Thus, it almost always came to this; questions from Liú Chénxī about the Demon Realm, and answers from her chained mouth. / @sleptbound.
