Extraordinary Weather Alert - Rainbows Turned Into Serpentine Ropes!
An Immortal Gazette Special Report: The Rainbow Twister Phenomenon!
In a strange and utterly unexpected turn of events, the skies above 4EverMore have been turned upside down. Or more accurately, sideways. Yes, the rainbows that typically brighten the skies with their usual magical hues have somehow transformed into serpentine ropes—and not just any ropes, mind you. These snakes of color now slither and coil like serpents at the whim of the wind.
It all started—how else—on a normal, misty morning. The kind of day where a good cup of tea, a little light reading, and perhaps some harmless pranks are the order of the day. But what followed was nothing short of an arcane catastrophe.
The first rainbow appeared, shimmering softly above the horizon. Pretty standard stuff—except it started wiggling. A soft twist, then a full-on spiral. Before anyone could even blink, the gentle arc of color morphed into something far more serpentine. And just like that, the rainbow was no longer a peaceful natural phenomenon. It was now a glistening snake winding its way across the sky.
At first, the Witches of Westbrook were intrigued. After all, rainbows were always a source of minor magical curiosity. Some whispered that the rainbows held secrets, others believed they contained lost spells, but no one could quite explain why they now resembled rope-like serpents.
"I’ll admit, I’ve never seen this before," said Cordillera, ever the sassy and skeptical ghost, floating nearby, her ethereal form flickering with curiosity. "But I’m definitely interested in the explanation."
Not everyone, however, was thrilled. Loki—who had just been enjoying a quiet nap (well, a quiet as Loki gets) in the City of Secrets—was the first to notice the rainbow’s serpentine transformation.
“*Well, this is an absolute mess,” Loki muttered, observing the tendrils of color writhing above him. "I was hoping for a peaceful day, but no—today, I’m surrounded by rainbows on a mission.”
His mood didn’t improve when the first serpent-like rainbow snaked down and whipped its colorful tail near his feet. "Oh, really?"
Alice, always one to turn the absurd into something more absurd, grinned at the sight. “"Oh, this is just perfect! A rainbow-turned-snake—like the universe knew we needed more chaos today. What next? Are we going to get flying pigs with feathers? Or perhaps talking trees who want to debate philosophy?"
But before anyone could reply, the rainbows began to change. With each twist, the serpents gained power, transforming into ropes that could hold, bind, or even slap anyone who came near them.
"I’m guessing we’re not dealing with a simple weather phenomenon here," said Seraphina Nightshade, folding her arms and looking up at the sky, clearly annoyed. “Do these ropes look like they’ve got a plan to you, or is it just me?”
In what could only be described as a weather-related panic, the skies began to spiral with ever-thicker ropes of color. The ropes floated down, wrapping around trees, towers, and even random passersby. They began to twist themselves into knots, tangling with everything they touched. And soon enough, a full-on serpentine rope battle had broken out in the streets of The City of Shadows.
The DayWalkers, ever alert to any signs of magic gone wrong, were first on the scene, using their powers to cut the rainbow ropes from buildings and other structures. But what they found was that the ropes wouldn’t just snap. They coiled tighter and tighter, even resisting being cut.
“"This is a bit beyond just magical mischief,” said Sonia Bloodthorn, watching from her gemstone balcony. Her lips curled into a knowing smirk. “I’ll give it this much—whoever set this up has style. But now we have rainbow snakes trying to strangle my city. Not exactly my favorite party trick."
Her sister, Seraphina, wasn’t far behind. “"Don’t get too comfortable, sis. These ropes aren't going to let up. It’s time for plan B."
As the Witches of Westbrook began their work of untying the ropes from the various structures, it became clear that something larger was at play here. Who would conjure such a peculiar spell? And more importantly, why were the ropes alive? Were they just a strange accident, or was someone out there laughing at all of them?
The answer came—not from a sorcerer or a spirit—but from Rumplestiltskin himself, who strolled casually into the scene. “Well, well, well,” he said with a wink, watching the ropes squirm in the air. “Seems like someone has finally figured out how to tie magic into knots. You know, it’s all about knowing the right tricks.”
Loki, never one to be left out, crossed his arms and smirked. "*"Did you set this up, Rumple?" Are you the one behind the rainbow ropes?”
Rumple grinned devilishly. “*"Me? Oh no, I wouldn’t waste my time with such colorful nonsense. But I did hear a rumor that someone really enjoys turning simple weather into an elaborate prank.”"
Loki shot him a half-murderous, half-amused look, while Sonia’s eyes narrowed. "“"Great. So, what you’re telling me is…we’ve got an unknown weather magician at large who’s decided to make rainbows…tangled ropes?"
“Well, I did say it’s all about knots, didn’t I?” Rumple chirped, then wiggled his fingers at the nearest serpent-rope, making it twist itself into an intricate knot.
Before anyone could respond, Cordillera cracked a joke from the sidelines, "Maybe next time, the rainbows can just ask if they want to become ropes instead of trying to bind everyone up in their madness."
As the mystery of the rainbow serpents unraveled, one thing became clear: in the world of 4EverMore, you’re never really sure if magic is just weather, just chaos, or a little bit of both.
