  bignt

  "The Court of Excess? Queen of Indulgence? I am unfamiliar with them." Evile frowned.

  "Me too. But what excess and indulgence are we talking about?" Tharick asked.

  "Everything," Lilita said.

  "Everything? As in, everything that has to do with excess and indulgence?" Evile asked to firm.

  "Yes, everything." Lilita nodded. "The Queen of Indulgence is not one, but three, yet not three, but one."

  "Do you mean she has a split personality?" Tharick asked.

  "Or she is three separate individuals?" Evile also asked.

  "We will expin it ter. Three queens rule over the Court of Excess, and every part has different rules and ws g it, with different creatures inhabiting each area. And together they make the Queen of Indulgend The Court of Excess."

  "Okay... That's fusing." Tharick frowned.

  "What are the three realms?" Evile asked.

  "The first realm is The Verdant Cradle, a pce that reflects The Verdant Queen's maternal and indulging love for life and nature. Kied creatures ected to nature inhabit it, and it is a pce of nurturing, healing, and life. Creatures such as Unis, Treants, and Nymphs thrive there, and you eat any fruit there. Merely staying there help anyone recover and heal from their injuries, and there are also small Fey vilges that dot the nd, living ihe trees, and are very hospitable." Lilita expined.

  "Hah... That sounds pretty good." Tharick said.

  "Perhaps you say that now, but the Verdant Queen, also named Mother Elyssarra, is a queen of excess, and everything, even simple water, be poisonous when too much is ed. Vitality and Life, when overindulged, leave you bloated and sluggish, and the flora and fauna around you will grow faster and faster the more you indulge, trapping you iototo said.

  "Also, ay for more than three days, or the realm would direct its pampering nature at you, forcibly nurturing you with an overabundance of life and vitality, making you fet your past, leaving you trapped as a resident there, willingly or not," Tototo added.

  "Suddenly, I don't feel like visiting that pce." Tharick warily said.

  "Yes..." Evile was also afraid.

  "The sed realm is The Sugarnd, ruled by Princess Pinksparkles," Lilita said.

  "Wait, isn't she a queen?" Tharick was fused.

  "She likes being called princess," Tototo expined.

  "Oh..." Tharid Evile nodded with half-uanding.

  "Anyways, her realm is- weird. Everything there is made out of sweets and dy, even most of the creatures that inhabit it. The remaining residents are Sweet Tooth Pixies, Toffy-Cap Goblins, and other mutated species that switched their diet to sweets." Lilita said.

  "Everything?" Evile raised an eyebrow.

  "Everything. The ground, grass, trees, water, buildings, and even clouds are all made of dy and sweets. It directly reflects Princess Pinksparkles's childish desires. Also, there are maivals and ivals in her realm where everyone is wele." Tototo expined.

  "And I suppose there are many dahere?" Tharick asked.

  "Oh, certainly! While the sweets themselves are nutritious and filling for everyone who eats them, they lead to unwanted side effects for those not aced to the sugary diet when overed. Some pces are also sticky traps, and one could drown to death in caramel or molten chocote. Even gumdrops be quid one could drown in." Lilita listed.

  "The creatures there are also far more pyful and chaotic than normal, and they would prank visitors more and more if they don't py along, even turning them into dy for a while. There are also toy soldiers and dy golems patrolling the area to prevent others from stealing or physically harming others. And the worst danger is staying there for more than three days. You might fet yourself and bee assimited into her realm, being a perma and happy resident." Tototo added.

  "Okay... Sounds like a nice pce to visit for a day or two but no more." Tharioted.

  "And what of the third realm?" Evile asked.

  "It is the Realm of Sensation and Passion, ruled by Her Majesty Queete, The Lustraven. It embodies passion and hedonism, a pce where indulgend desire are celebrated. It is covered by a thid richly-sted fog, lit with soft lights at day and night, and the air is filled with a rich st of exotic perfumes, inse, and sweet and musky sts that evoke lust and apanied by soft music. There are many lush aiful gardens, and many taverns, os, and brothels dot the nd, and all pces serve the fi of foods, wines, and beds. The kes and waterfalls shine like romantic crystals, and its beautiful and charming inhabitants all wear equally sensational clothes and jewelry. Those who inhabit the pce are those who revel in such acts and adapt to the nd and its rules. It is a pce of luxury and debauchery." Lilita expined.

  "And I suppose it is also dangerous?" Tharick rolled his eyes.

  "Of course! Those of weak will be trapped iiful illusions, at the mercy of others. Some of the inhabitants also include sexually predatory Fey and even succubi who use their charm to sential prey, even ving the prey with their charm to let them drain their very lives away. One should avoid gambling too much, or they would lose many things. And of course, overindulgence would leave you weak and vulnerable. And if you stay for more than three days, you might get lost in the pleasure, succumbing to it and fetting yourself." Lilita grimly warned.

  "If your realm is so dangerous, how anyone survive?!" Tharick excimed.

  "The three realms form a spiral shape, each separated by magical barriers. A fure has to stay for at least one day in each realm to cross the barrier and stay for two days, but staying for more than three will incur the unique meism of that realm, trapping you forever and adding you to that realm. Also, you ot ehe realm you previously visited, meaning you must visit all three realms in a cyclic order over and ain." Lilita expined.

  "However, if you don't enjoy yourself, and practice restraint while staying in each realm, you will ahe realm itself. And, of course, one could stay away from the ter of influehe edges are stable, not much different than other Mystical Forests apart from her tendency for indulgeototo added.

  "Other than that, the three realms are pretty safe if you know how to behave yourself. I stayed there several times, and it retty fun!" Lilita smiled.

  "Naturally, if you are strong enough, you probably ighe influeo aent and stay longer, but that would require having the strength of a higher Fey such as a Fairy. I hear those on the level of a Fey Ruler are immuo the assimiting effects." Tototo added.

  "So, back to the inal question, is the Queen of Indulgehree personalities or three individuals?" Evile asked.

  "Both," Lilita said.

  "Both? I... Don't get it." Tharick's tentacles got twisted as if to show how much he was fused.

  "Are they the same person or not? Or does each personality have a body?" Evile tried guessing.

  "That is correct, but not quite. The Queen of Indulgence is separated into three queens, each with a distinct personality and body, and each with a separate realm, rules, pace, and subordinates. However, they also form a uch with herself, the of Indulgence, emp one another when together. And they also bine, being the chaotid pletely uable entity known as the Queen of Indulgeototo expined.

  "Yeah! She is truly powerful in that form! It is said she even kill gods!" Lilita enthusiastically said.

  "So why separate? Besides the venience of having a body for each personality." Evile asked.

  "The three personalities rarely fully agree on anything, so only when something has their undivided attention they fuse, which is why she is also niamed Indulgendivided. Otherwise, they argue and bicker like sisters. But these are just the legends. I never had the honor of personally meeting even their avatars, let aloheir true forms or Indulgendivided." Tototo warily smiled.

  "Well, that's something." Tharick rubbed his head.

  "Do you think she noticed us?" Evile asked.

  "The three queens see everything, but their focus is limited. They only pay attention to things that tradict their nature and are powerful enough. While you are a Human, you are not harmful and too, well, weak to be noticed." Lilita said while awkwardly ruffling her hair.

  "And what about me?" Tharick poi himself.

  "If one of them noticed you and saw you in a ive light ot ied, they would send someoo capture you by now. So, either she spared you, or she didn't notice you for some reason." Tototo expined.

  "Not notice me? I am partially an Abbarant creature and monster, and I exited the ward and cut trees. Surely, they noticed me, right?" Tharick felt strange.

  "Not quite. Cutting down trees is messing with the realm itself, but since you used those trees for indulgent pleasures, they were fih it. Lilita merely regrew them." Lilita said.

  "And also, if you have a patible mi and tendehe realm might reize you as a resident, ign you and not notifying the queens," Tototo added.

  "Aw... I always knew you liked being pampered, Tharick." Evile teasingly said.

  "Oh, haha." Tharick rolled his eyes and ged the subject. "What about the surrounding elves?"

  "The elven guardians around here live in small and medium tribes, with thousands of such tribes. They have hundreds of High Elves, but few reached the 8th level, and none are at the 9th level." Tototo said.

  "Do you know where is the dire of the settlement?" Evile asked.

  "In that dire, about a two-hour walk." Lilita poio the East. "There is a small tribe of elves that I and the others usually prank, led by a b druid."

  "Would they be afraid if they saw me?" Tharick asked while pointing at himself.

  "Maybe, maybe not. But they might believe you are a half-fey creature if you present yourself accly. It isn't unon for such creatures to wander out of the Mystical Forest." Lilita said.

  "But it might be best to have someone apany you, lest they shoot first and ask questions ter." Tototo warily added.

  "Good point." Tharick helplessly nodded.

  "Thank you for the information, Elder Tototo and Lilita. e tomorrow to receive the agreed-upon reward. Oh, and here is your reward for keeping things a secret." Evile smiled and took out another jar full of gold-white liquid.

  "It is a pleasure, Ms. Evile and Mr. Tharick. For a happy and tinued cooperation." Tototo took the jar with a smile before covetously looking at the jar's tents.

  "Yeah! We will make sure to e tomorrow!" Lilita happily said, already greedy for the dose.

  After Elder Tototo happily ed the liquid, the duo left, and peace returo Tharick's and Evile's little haven.
