She lived next to a woman with a red hood, but she had been so into her gardening she had forgotten to say hello. Looking up and rubbing the sweat off her brow with the back of her hand, she didn't even notice the dirt smearing across her porcelain skin. Man who lived here now were considered very beautiful, each a flower in their own way. But Ella... she was someone else's idea of beauty. The only thing striking about her were her large doe brown eyes that seemed to glow gold in the sunlight.... oh and maybe her pretty pale feet, but she liked wearing feminine boots since the whole fiancee fiasco. But Ella was content in her body. She didn't mind if others thought her plain. The eyes were the windows to the soul, right? Better to have a few things pretty, than none at all. Looking up at the window of her neighbor, she stood and walked over to lean slightly against her white picket fence. "Good afternoon, Miss Red Hood," her voice was cheerful and clear like the chime of a pleasing pipe, "Have you settled in nicely?" Phillip was starting to get a very irritating feeling that this frail and shy girl wasn't all "she" seemed to be. Looking to him for help? From [i]Ella[/i]? No female alive would be this much trouble, he was sure. And it irritated him further that if this "she" really was a "he", that "he" was getting too much special attention from Ella. It was childish and Gods knew he would never admit to it, but he might be feeling, just a tiny, tiny tiny bit...jealous. His silver eyes flashed looking at the frail and flustered "girl". "I could always do it," his voice was smooth but cold, silky and polite, but with an edge, like a blade, "I won't be as gentle as Ella, but it'll be over [i]real[/i] fast." "Phillip! Be nice! She is jus' shy and all yu are going to do is scare her," Ella scolded him, before smiling gently down at the other girl, "Calm... calm, dearling, no need to make it worse on yourself." She lifted the girl's blouse just a bit, sliding her hand up, but only touching the area the girl seemed to be hurting from. "This vill only last a moment, but you must calm down. T'vill only last longer if you panic." Phillip frowned, glaring forwards, not wanting to look at such a scene. So when Ella started the healing song, Phillip ended up joining her to make sure it went faster. She sang quickly too, as most did during the healing song, especially when the other was in pain. It was a song to help mend small wounds by giving a bit of your power to the other person through certain herbs. Prince Phillip had ice magic, so he wasn't suited for actually preforming a healing song, but added voice always help speed up the process for some reason. It was magic, so what did anyone really know about the ways it worked? As long as Ella did have to touch who he suspected might be a flustered disappeared prince for too long.

Phillip turned on his heel and bent down, staring right into the "girl's" eyes, his own narrowing. "What is your name, Miss?" he said slowly, his sharp eyes gleaming like ice, "I don't believe you mentioned it." Ella smacked him on the back of the head. "I said be nice, Phillip," she said sternly, "T'is is vhy you have problems vith making friends."

Let us take care of the rest." He looked to the Duck. "You should take him to Ella, Syn," he said softly, "She can mend some of his minor wounds and at least ease his pain, so he can recover." Looking up at James and Red, he stood and ran a hand through his hair. "You two should go somewhere safe," he said softly, "Some of my warriors will be here soon, as well as a few... 'friends'. It may get rough here and I don't want anyone else to be hurt." He looked at the pair. "Unless of course you'd feel better defending your freedom. Then the more the merrier. I have to... prepare as well." He looked a bit agonized when he said that final sentence, but he cast the other a rather genuine and sorrowful smile. "Prepare yourselves. This might get messy." He strode off with that.

"I see you're not squealing over some silly grubs from the ground," he gave a toothy grin, "or are you? ELLA!" The ground rumbled and then giant roots split the ground open. Worms, grubs and beetles went flying through the air and landed all over Charles. The ice Phillip had sent up from the ground, shielded him. He stomped a foot on the ground and ice spurt out, like a virus, seeking the dragon's warmth. It grew up the monster's legs and Phillip swung his large blade, sending millions of shards of ice headed right for the dragon. Ella was still stringing up lizards, crushing them, impaling them, tearing them apart. All with a smile on her face. Nymph Ella was more animal than human. A creature of dark impulses and desires. Like all nymphs. Phillip scoffed and rolled his red eyes. "Some Prince," he muttered with a smirk, glaring at Charles. The pint sized Prince in a Princess's body made a comment about him being a pervert and her turned pink with anger. "ARGH WILL YOU SHUT IT?!" he growled at Karin, "I'M BUSY DOING SOMETHING USEFUL!" Ell awoke with the mention of Charles, but this Ella looked different. Her golden brown doe eyes were glowing a harsh gold, the pupils in slits. Slowly, as if possessed she stood up from her chair. "Dragon...hybrid..." her voice was a mixture of two voice, one the Ella's and the other a animalistic Ella, "Tastes good with a side of twinlings...." The monstrous nymph creature hissed and grinned. Phillip nodded once, his demon warriors beginning to calmly yet brutally take down Charles's numerous lackeys. The Ice Demon drew his giant sword and pointed it at the monster Charles with a grin. "You've never seen real battle before, Charming," he chuckled, "Not demon battle anyway." The creature that had once been Ella noticed Ariel and her comrades join in and she hissed. The plants around her house shuddered and shivered before lashing out and weaving up and around Charles. More plants joined in, some even from Charles's aunt's yard. "Give into me, dragon thing," she hissed gleefully, "and maybe I'll eat you quickly!" [img]http://xanthhollow.weebly.com/uploads/1/6/3/8/16381932/9454089.jpg[/img]
