While my icon denote anger, I'm hardly mad.

It just really amuses me. Even though I don't like the guy too much. Actually, I can't like any of the FBs (I've tried); they wig me out.



The hunter was leading Snow White out to the forest, just as the dark queen had told her mirror. And that mirror had, with a certain smugness, reported this plan back to Maleficent. The hunter was to take her out, deep into the wood, and only to return if her heart was in hand.

Maleficent improved this plan drastically.

Riku slunk around the treetrunks, blending into the foliage by the force of sheer will. The pair he was tailing had yet to reach the point of the initial plan, and Riku was simply left to observing his two future victims.

The princess was just as the stories told her to be. Skin a healthy, pale parlor. Lips as rosy as the finest apple. Hair as dark as a raven's down. Carefree and kind, sincere, just, and pure. A maiden of heart.

Her would-be killer was Tall, for a man. He stood much more than a head higher than the princess, and Riku suspected that the hunter was also taller than his own father. That foreboding height Riku didn't like in people. Donned in the proper green outfit of his medieval home, with a black feather in his hat and equally black hair streaming down his back, the hunter tailed the woman charged with her protection and execution, Snow White gayly frolicking wherever her path may lead her.

The pair and their follower finally emerged into the flower strewn meadow of stage, where Snow White was happy to enjoy herself. And the hunter hung back, watching her intently, like the ferocity of a hawk on its prey.

Riku's grip on the Soul Eater tightened to the point that the hilt creaked. The hunter would make a move soon, to strike at the princess by the whim of his queen, and Riku would be ready to counter it. Kill the hunter, and take the princess to Maleficent, with pretty words that would make her trusting, only to be betrayed for the purpose of saving Kairi.

There; he was reaching for--holy!

Hidden away in the brush, a huge buster sword emerged from the growth, obviously planted there by the hunter himself, attached to his hand like a true extension of his arm. And he wielded it with a splendid ease, Riku was...envious?

Snow White's back was to him, and the hunter stalked forward with intention, that sword balanced in one hand and cleared the ground in feet, not inches. His strength seemed to know no bounds.

"Princess."

She turned with a smile on her red lips, and it melted into fear at the sight of the blade poised so threateningly. Her voice was so soft-spoken, child-like. "Wha...Sir?"

"Forgive me, Princess. Your step-mother has ordered your death."

She gasped and hurried to her feet. She looked so young. "Why would she--"

"She envies and loathes the beauty your mother blessed you with, and I plead for forgiveness for this betrayal I will commit."

The girl was cowering, whimperish, but so valuable. The hunter began to raise that sword high above his head, and it marked Riku's cue.

EDIT: Hey, did I hear that correctly? There's going to be (or already is) a manga based on CoM?

....Excuse, I'm going to die now. Night night.

NOTE: Queen's name was unofficially Grimhilde
