Evil Genius Blogfest

The Eagle's Aerial Perspective aka Golden Eagle turns two years old today!


 A flash fiction blogfest to celebrate the occasion...check the others there and vote for me if you like.
On the other hand forget it...my entry gets lost among the writer crowds.


Create a story, in any format whether that's flash fiction or poetry, where the aforementioned character does something qualifying them as an evil genius. You can also choose an already-existing person, perhaps from one of your favorite books or movies--just tell us why you think they're the best.

He paced across the floor, impatiently awaiting the messenger’s return.
‘The fool of an imp must have left the mansion four hours ago, can’t these useless fools do one thing right?’
He dismissed his personal aide with a flick of the hand, causing the poor creature to crash onto the cold stone floor outside the room.
The crystal revealed nothing as yet.
‘The ancients had set strong wards…but not for long.’
The curse was almost ready. The final words of the mantra left, to be uttered on the blue moon night, two days hence.
Hidden by him in the old walls 150 years ago, it slumbered waiting the unleashing of its dark potency.
“Only the mad bat knows where…”
He chuckled loudly, scaring the Bagoons in the cages.
She had played her part well, all these years, and would soon be rewarded for her loyalty.
They would be ‘The Lord of the lands and his consort.’ with all the high born crushed under his heels.
The Council had exiled him over his dark aides as they called them. In reality, he knew that they were scared and envious of his newly acquired powers. The spineless cowards had been unwilling to break the ancient oath and grab at everlasting glory, proclaiming truth and light as the greatest gifts.
‘He would show them the meaning of greatness, true power.’
 A scrap at the open roof grabbed his attention, the vulture glided down, encircling the clustered room.
Casting a quick, non verbal spell; transformed the scavenger into the hideous shape of his slave.
Trembling hands handed him the silk scroll wrapped up in protective Kusha grass.
‘Remove the grass blanket!’ he thundered, pulling away his hand as though it had been singed.
If things went well, the hated Charis’, Shaks’ and Warriers’, in particular, would be graced by an ancient visitor on the next moonless night. The Green Dew would bring with it, this time, the Elder Borns’ decimation.

Ooo. I loved the caged things and the bats and things in the walls. Lots of good things going on in this, Rek. I love the Green Dew. I want to know more about that.

As always, a great bit of writing Rek! You are very good at this! Not only do you write well, you have one active imagination...

Good post! I am curious about the mad bat!

Tara Tyler said...

great setting and love transforming minions!

MISH said...

Well written piece - incorporating a twisted villain, a great setting and judging from the snippet you've given us, a complicated plot...
I also love the atmosphere you've created.

Sylvia said...

I love that your story has a mad bat!! Great villain too!

Susan Kane said...

Green dew, mad bat, evil cronies, and scary evil--good stuff.

Jen said...

I'm a bit late in reading all the Evil Genius entries! Sorry about that. This is really good! I feel dropped in the middle of something big and I want to know all about it. The different creatures' names, what are they, who is this evil mastermind and why does he want to destroy others?

Good job! And I LOVE your blog design!
Nice to meet you,
Jen
