The Grumpiest Fairy | @snook's Create Your Fairy Challenge!
Once upon a mid-summer moon, the grumpiest fairy in all the forest sat upon a bright red toadstool, buried her head between her knees, and moped. She didn't cry, nor did she allow a single tremor shake her body; she was far too proud for that, but... it just wasn't meant to be like this.
Great iridescent wings grew out of her back and shimmered beneath the starlight, raven-black curls ran in rivulets down her back, slightly turning up at the ends as though in a joyful wave to the night sky, and on her face, above her tiny ugly nose, the biggest, bluest eyes any fairy had even seen shone as bright as sapphires.
She was hideous.
Only two days prior she beheld great honking nostrils, complete with oozing wart. The thickest, scraggliest eyebrows set in a perfect mono. A tiny, crooked mouth overfilled with sharp, pointy teeth... she had been perfect. She had been the most wicked, most glorious, the most utterly wretched witch to have graced the land in centuries! And now, thanks to one teeny, tiny mishap, she was this hideous, pathetic creature.
It all started upon her scheduled decadely flight to thwart any stinking love stories from happening. Every prince in the realm was to be turned into a vulture. Particularly disgusting princes with blonde hair and blue eyes and chiselled jaws of storytale proportions were to be turned into warthogs.
It used to be that she and her kind would turn these horrible princes into frogs, but the princesses had actually started kissing them to return them to their natural state! Surely no princess in their right mind would dare kiss a rampaging warthog.
When her journey had completed with a record five princes transformed into wonderful non-human creatures, she licked her favourite toad -- as she always did -- with the happiest of glee and had visions of the other side for a few hours, and then, the next evening... she awoke like this. Ugh. Her poor little toad. She had been tricked!
At least she had turned into a fairy and not a horrible, horrible creature like... a human. In this form, at least she still had magical abilities.
She still had magical abilities.
Her large, sapphire eyes enlargened evermore and she leapt off the toadstool.
"I still have magical abilities," she croaked to herself and flapped her great, shimmering wings.
Well, if she was going to be stuck in this form for the rest of her days, she would make the most of it -- she would become the most wicked, most glorious, most hideously disgusting fairy to have ever flown the forest!
The fairyfolk, and all the other woodland creatures, would soon fear her. Tales would be told for centuries to come.
Her laughter rang through the forest -- a dry, scratchy cackle that sounded nothing like a tiny fairy's titter -- and she smiled a wicked smile.
She would start with the fairy prince: he would make a fine buzzard.

OMG, This is Fabulous!!!
What a great story!!! So different than I thought it was going to be and I loved how you wove fairy tales into it!!
Thank You for playing along!!
Thank you for hosting such a unique challenge! 😁
I'm glad you enjoyed the story!!
This new fairy sounds like she is about to haunt the world. That is a much better option than sitting around and being sad about her new form.
Ain't a thing wrong with thick and messy brows. Well, at least that's how I look at it since I was blessed with some of the thickest.

Hah! The eyebrows in that gif are epic. xD
Nothing wrong with thick, scraggly eyebrows! In her opinion they were perfect. 😄
hahahaha this was so clever and topsy-turvy!!! hahahahaa I love that she licked the toad and turned cute (ugly) hahahahahahahaha
awww maybe in her travels to torture, she'll find some new thing in her existence that will help her to bring peace! hahahaha
loved this - thanks to @snook's challenge for bringing me here!
I'm not sure she'll be able to find conventional peace; only the perverse pleasure in tormenting other fairytale creatures! 😱😅
Thank you for reading!!! I'm happy you enjoyed it! 😁
hahahaha well - i suppose if that's her lot in life! LOLOLOLOLOL
i really did enjoy it hahaha
Diabolically funny!!! Great story. I hope you win!!!
It's just a fun challenge with random draw winners, but was good fun entering though! 😄 Thought I'd lost my funny-bone. 😅
An amazing fairy tale, you can read it to children who do not obey :)
Yes, it could make for an interesting child's tale! 😄 I'll have to get my son to read it and see if he approves.
Fantastic. A nefarious, witch of a fairy. How excellently wicked.
Thank you! 😁
yeah, she could have turned into a human, a witch cannot wish a worse fate than that :). It is said that fairies reflect their spirits... so it's the weekend showing through ;-)
Haha, that's great!
Although I had to check around 100 words to the dictionary, I really enjoyed it :)
I'm sorry! I'm terrible at using awkward words. 😅
I'm glad you enjoyed it though, despite having to use the dictionary!
It was a great opportunity to learn some new words in an amusing way :)
What a wicked, fun story! This:
And the ending. What a feat, to put a positive spin on her situation, and such glee!
😁 I'm happy that you enjoyed it! I've been struggling to write lately so this was a nice little challenge to join. And I rather like my witch-fairy, I might need to keep her in mind for future writing endeavours!
She is a character you must revisit, for sure.
The crabby old lady is someone most people overlook but never underestimate her. :)
