Chapter One: Time
"Karma hurry we're going to be late" Steps and sound of objects falling over could be heard from outside the door.
"Karma?" Stella opened the door only to see Karma on the ground. Karma sat up with a smile, holding something in her arms.
"One second" Karma walked quickly towards the corner of the room. Placing the fox on pillow, she walked away slowly her back facing Stella.
"STELLA!" Stella jumped at the sound of her name being called. Karma looked towards the pillow, the fox was gone.
"Really, Jason?" Jason made a face of confusion, Stella only sighed. Karma jumped onto her bed, there on the bed laid a dead body.
"What I just saw you and wanted to say that you look really pretty" Jason rubbed the back of his head, with a goofy smile. Stella smiled a bit, kissing Jason on the cheek.
"You're still on duty?" Jason was still wearing his armor, Jason nodded sadly. (HEHEHEHEH HE SAID DUTY)
"Please come out, why are you so hyper tonight?" Karma yelled from her bed, sitting up looking out the balcony. Jason and Stella walked into the room hovering over Karma.
"Karma, did you let this little guy out again?" Karma fell backwards onto the bed glancing at the door. The small fox jumped from their arms onto her chest.
"Not on purpose he's hyper for some reason" Karma held the fox in her arms playing with its tummy.
"I need you to stay here a bit okay? It won't be too long" the fox laid on the pillow, its white nine tails covering its body.
"Apollo you're still on duty as well?" Karma pulled the two love birds out of her room closing the door behind her. Apollo looked her up and down, Karma (with Stella helping her) fixing up her dress.
"Sadly I am on duty" Apollo sighed a bit, Karma smiled at him walking towards him. Apollo leaned down a bit to reach her height.
"That's okay, you'll still be around" Karma poked his cheek making him smile. Karma walked towards Stella, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Well what do you think boys?" Stella grabbed Karma by the waist posing; Karma sneaked her arm around Stella's shoulders winking.
(This part is just a dress description, skip if you think it's boring) Stella's sky blue dress, sleeves off both shoulders, attached by "lace", skirt full but with draped layers of sheer blue fabric with dark blue hemming over the main part of the skirt, silver embroidery/design. Karma's off the shoulder dress, tightly fitted sleeve ending in a "glove" with the loop around the middle finger. Shoulders down, a shimmery veil, which goes to the waist, very light lavender, a slit on the side with the sleeve, going all the way through the length of the veil. The icy blue corset edged in a darker blue lace. (Start reading here again ~~)
"Beautiful" Both boys started at them with countless expressions. Making the girls laugh before turning around walking away from the boys.
"We'll see you guys around" Karma yelled from a distance, the boys shook their heads walking after the girls.
"Where could the others be?" Karma looked around the great hall for the rest of the girls, only to see other people from other kingdoms and countries.
"OW" Stella smacked her on the back of her head. Karma rubbed the back of her head pouting a bit from the pain.
"You should have hurried up woman!" Stella yelled lightly at Karma, who was apologizing a bit, until someone had kicked her butt.
"Ow" Karma had her hands on her butt turning around to see a girl
(This part is just a dress description, skip if you think it's boring) with orange dress, a corset open, lace on the arms, going nearly up to her neck, the skirt is full but very flow, like a waterfall, it's ruffled as well, the fabric is bunched up into little "pillows" with gold beads marking out the corners of the pillows. Another standing next to her wearing a dress a bit crumpled with beads covering the skirt, with half of a bubble sleeve on each shoulder, the crumpled part a dark blue while the middle was pure white layered with midnight blue lace. (Start reading here again ~~)
"HERO, DESTINY" Karma jumped into Destiny's arms, Destiny hugging her back. Stella and Hero laughed at the two of them.
"I'm so sorry my wife for I have been away for so long" Destiny bows, Karma only smiles putting a hand on Destiny's shoulder.
"As long as you came back there is nothing you have to be sorry for my love" Stella and Hero rolled their eyes at the girls with a smile. Karma and Destiny hugged as if they hadn't seen each other for years.
"Well Karma I see how it is" Someone behind the hugging couple teased. Karma turned around still holding onto Destiny's hand.
(This part is just a dress description, skip if you think it's boring) A woman with a soft pink dress, heart shaped corset, a "bubble" of fabric over one shoulder a sleeve going down her left arm, skin tight, flared slightly at the wrist. Her right shoulder is bare, skirt could be somewhat full, flowing down, the silver embroidery along the neckline, waistline, hem, wrist and the edge of the sleeve. (Start reading here again ~~)
"Hi Heaven" Karma smiled awkwardly, Destiny let go of Karma's hand, Heaven made her move to hug Karma as hard as she could. Karma hugged her back trying to get a breath in or two.
"GUYS, SORRY!" Two girls ran up to them (In heels... in heels), both trying to catch their breath. The rest of the girls tried to make sure that their feet were going to fine the rest of the night and they weren't going to die.
"Sorry we got caught up with some people" Fixing her hair with the help of Heaven
(This part is just a dress description, skip if you think it's boring) she wore a strawberry red dress with bubble sleeves that end halfway between her elbow and her shoulder, A full, smooth skirt, with green lace near the waist.

"It's fine Dawn you look beautiful today" Dawn only smiled at the comment blowing a kiss towards Heaven.

"Luna's a princess~" Stella tapped on Luna's shoulder. Who was blushing a bit at that statement, only to have Dawn on the other side of her, arm around her shoulder.
"Are your dates coming tonight you too?" Karma asked the two with a raised eyebrow and smirk. Dawn and Luna only smiled sheepishly, making the rest of the girls smile a bit.
"Where's Crystal?" Hero asks the group, all of them look at each other than outside the small circle.
"She's over there with Hyperion" Karma points towards her right;
(This part is just a dress description, skip if you think it's boring) where Crystal's dress a blue green fitted corset top, sleeves that don't cover the shoulders, and that are fitted until the elbow. From there to the wrist the sleeves get wider, while the skirt is very sleek with a cloth at the waist wrapping around the top of the skirt. (Start reading here again ~~)
"Let's leave those two alone" Dawn smiled at the couple from afar seeing them hug each other. The rest nodded with small smiles covering their faces.
"Where are the other men may I ask my lady?" Destiny glanced at Karma and Stella; both were looking around a bit to find out where they could be.
"Osborn, Apollo and Jason are all on duty, it seems that King Aaron wanted extra protection just in case" Karma answered, winking at Destiny who only sent one back, someone had tapped on Karma's shoulder. A man who she has not seen before, he may have been from other kingdom.
"Excuse me madam, but may I have this dance?" Karma bit her lip, making eye contact with the man, his eyes, dead and black.
"Yes you may" He took her hand as they walked away from the girls. The girls eyeing him while Apollo glared at him. Karma had tried not to make eye contact with the man as they dance, looking off into the distance.
"I must say King Aaron has many excellent balls doesn't he?" The man asked in a subtle tone.
"I must agree he does have very extravagant balls and parties" Karma answered, her eyes looked around the whole hall figuring out where everyone she knew was.
"I hear he has fantastic bodyguards as well" Karma froze at his tone of voice. The man pulled them apart making eye contact. The song played had ended, the man let go of her bowing. Karma of course bowed as well.
"It's almost midnight, it'll be beautiful to finally see them" The man smirked as he chuckled, his tone so cold.
"It was great to talk to you young lady, may the night be in you favor" With that the man walked away as Karma stood in place. Apollo ran towards her, cupping her face.
"Karma?" Karma looked up at him, her purple eyes meeting his lavender ones.
"Make sure not to lose track of anyone" Karma whispered; Apollo looked towards the direction in which the man had walked away.
"Something's going to happen by midnight tell the others" Apollo nodded running towards Jason. Karma walked towards the girls, telling them the story.
"How can you be sure that he wasn't joking?" Heaven's worried tone overcame everyone. Karma opened her hand, in her there laid an emblem.
"Symbols?" Crystal took a careful look at the emblem, before gasping.
"The Seven Deadly sins are here" Karma stated her eyes only on the emblem.
*DING DING DING*
The emblem turned into dust as the Clock strikes 12.
