The Jellyfish King

Stood tall before me

With long pink sheer

Tentacles as hair,

Ash pink skin,

Eyes of amethyst

And clothes fit for a ruler.

He placed his hands

On hips and smiled at me,

      “What are you doing here in the outskirts, dearest princess?” he sneered, placing his finger on his chin.

      “None of your fucking business Mark~!” I sang, nearly getting in his face.

     “Whoa someones touchy!” he drifted back a bit, “What's wrong Adolescence?”

     “You know exactly what's wrong!” I emphasized, spreading my arms out.

     “Oh am I in your waaaaayyyy~?” he elongated his words.

I shot him a glare

And he laughed again.

     “Fine I’ll stop messing with you!” he snapped his fingers and a pathway opened up behind him, “Follow me!”

He turned around

And began to lead the way.

“And with your eyes, the Sea Witch will cast a terrible spell on your loved ones, so that they may kill themselves!” Fathers words continued in my head

As I followed

Right behind Mark.

Screams of agony

Echoed

As we proceeded deeper

And I knew it was the victims

Who had fallen prey to the forest.

      “You know you’ll get killed if you keep doing this, right?” Mark glanced over his shoulder and looked at me.

      “I know.” I smiled as we reached the end of the thick forest.

On the other side

Laid a desolate

Dark world

Crumbled by evil.

Mark stared into the abyss

Before shaking his head,

     “Be safe, Adolescence!”

He flipped back around

And his body merged into the jellyfish's arms.
