I swear Gabriel the Faithful, I will – ” His words were cut off when he saw a surge of black and red slaughter butterflies flew from the swamp waters the moment the hundreds of deadly feathers raced to Maleficent.

I felt like I was freezing and burning alive at the same time, with wild nerves and overflowing passion. "...Ohhh my GOD...S-soy Bean..."

The valley sensed me. The moment it did, a swarm of red butterflies erupted across the land like a living storm, rising upward in a violent squall.

Suddenly, he saw a bird flying past him, and his attention shifted to a few butterflies nearby. The butterflies were flying near a small plant with a few cocoons attached to it. One of the cocoons wriggled under the sunlight, and then a butterfly broke out from the cocoon and flew away. The butterfly flapped its wings and gradually flew across Wilbur. "What?" Wilbur frowned.
