The Tooth Fairy

PegLateral stared outwards at his countless followers. He spoke in plain terms that somehow was heard in all without amplification.

“The Cleaner Has Awoken. Now, his job is done. This jaw is clean. The Frefairy dream of the Mighty Tooth Castle will live in place of PegLateral,” said the fairy. His eyes were lightening as his blood drained out in a slow stream.

Stillmouth looked on with his black eyes shining with tears, “Peg, you must stay. We need you for the fight off-jaw. Maimiti…”

The pregnant fairy appeared by PegLateral’s side. He looked up at her as his eyes became pink-on-gray, but he could only smile as the purple was fading from his face.

“Go forth. The castle needs Enamel. Find it in the mouths of children. They will trade it for coin. The purer, the faster you achieve your final victory,” said Paul as his pink-on-pink eyes stared at no one.

Maimiti sobbed over his body and closed his eyes.

Stillmouth took a moment and then pointed. Countless dark-eyed, enamel-hungry fairies flew out wordlessly in response.
