The fog in the crystal ball swirled about, twisting into familiar and unfamiliar faces. The tiny little girl on her throne nearly bounced out of her seat with a glee only a toddler could share as she watched events unfold.
"Perfect, just perfect~!" she squealed, clasping her hands together. "Already those idiots who killed Pestus are just drawing trouble like moths to a flame!"
"Oh yes, with the eternal feud against World Creature Wars and Zoofights Corp bound to flare up once more?" a haughty voice said from the girl's side. "Of course, they'll tear each other apart like paper. And that isn't even considering the other more... barbaric sorts they'll have to face. All driven by greed, desire for power, their pride..."
"Don't forget who actually stole Levian stuff!" snapped a tinny voice in the back of the room. "Because Greed and I did that, and we opened up another safe before he fucked off to nowhere! Honestly, why do you keep trusting Greed to do stuff? It's kind of stupid."
A soft voice, smooth and honeyed, piped up from the shadows. "He has his role to play in this, dear. His desire for material wealth will most definitely get stronger once he finds us in Vegas. Vegas might as well be absorbed completely the minute he gets here! It's simply a desire I can't even hope to copy, and Vegas has it in spades."
The tiny girl smirked. "The biggest mistake those idiots made is deciding to come to the original Sin City! They don't even realize it, do they? That sin only becomes stronger in the presence of more of it? Of course they don't! They won't even see us coming, with how much they're going to have to deal with!"
"I suppose that your plan involves taking advantage of the chaos reaped by others before slitting kobber throats one by one?"
"Or turning them against each other because they all have some sort of envy? Oooh, I love this~! I wanna do this!"
"If you want me to tempt them to go for their deepest, darkest desires... I'm your gal. I'm always ready to go all in. Of course, there is Wrath and Greed too, ready to smash through like a wrecking ball."
"Oh, taking advantage of them is just way too boring," said the tiny girl with a glare before her face twisted into that wicked, gleeful look. "Why not take advantage of people that they're familiar with? Then I get to see their stupid faces as they try to talk sense into them, and BOOM! Their so-called friend kills them without a second thought!"
"That's what I exist for, Cassandra," a voice grumbled. "You know, Envy and all? Green eyed monster?
By the way, shouldn't we be worried about Gluttony? He kind of, I don't know, killed all of us without a second thought a thousand years ago. And he's bound to get stronger, too, with all that goddamn food everybody will be serving him. He's on the completely wrong side!"
A staff was summoned to the little girl's side, black as the hearts of men, topped with a giant spade. And she could only continue to grin as lightning struck and lit up her face.
"Who cares?! I can turn him against his little friends when I need to. Don't bother worrying about him! What's more important...
We need to show these little peasants that in this game of power play, there's only ONE queen fit to stomp on the Neo-Kobbers, the Kobbers, and every other damn thing in the universe and declare her rightful rule!
AND THAT QUEEN... IS ME."
She could only cackle as her minions chanted, "All hail Fairy Queen of Sin, Cassandra!" They were joined by several other no-names that she had recruited over the years and after Pestus's death. She would not be deterred by Kobber power.
No... she would only grow stronger.
She'll make them BEG for mercy.

Little fairy, little fairy,
Why hold so much hate in your heart?
Little fairy, little fairy,
It only shoves you and others apart.
Little fairy, little fairy,
Why do you envy me so?
Little fairy, little fairy
You command others, while I am set to sew.
Little fairy, tiny fairy,
You manipulate my dearest friends
Little fairy, wicked fairy
It's time for our story to end.
