-Chasing stars and moonlight-
-Blood and water, which is stronger-
-Dark as blackness, light as white-
-Power, make us wait no longer-
Chris could hear singing, and from the reverb off of the walls he could tell they weren't in the same room with him. But then again, where was he? His eyes were open, but could see only darkness. He could move but it was quite obvious he was being restrained against something.
He decided he had no other choice but to yell. There was no escaping; the locks were heraldry, he could feel their power. Now he wish he'd listened to Celine a little bit more.
Before he even opened his mouth, light erupted into the room, momentarily blinding him. He could sense there were some figures in the room with him now, 3 or 4. His eyes finally began to readjust and he was in a cave-like room with only an entrance/exit. He did note that if there was an escape, it wouldn't be through the rock around him, it'd be through that door. And the ladies in front of him would certainly be the judge of whether we left or not.
They were all dressed in drab brown clothes, as if they were monks at first glance. After they removed their hoods, however, that was obviously not the case. The one in the front with red hair spoke first.
"Good morning-...or is it evening? No matter. Welcome to our humble abode, Prince. My name is Lena. To my left is Ket, and I believe you've already met Pae."
He looked to the left and saw the same shy, brown haired girl that had distracted him into coming here. Pae wasn't even looking at Chris; she was staring at her feet.
"Pae!" Lena yelled. Pae jumped with an "eep"!
"Why don't you tell our little guest why he's here?"
Pae turned cherry red. "Why me?"
Lena looked around. "You're right; it's Ket's job, isn't it?"
Ket moved in front. "Young prince, we are the Trino sisters. Our tasks and purposes are irrelevant to you, so we won't bother telling you. The only thing you need to know is that the kingdom is in our hands, and unless you cooperate, it won't be in GOOD hands."
Chris looked unimpressed. "Howso?"
"We are powerful."
"It took two of you to take down a pampered palace brat."
Lena laughed. "Don't flatter yourself. What we did was carefully planned for perfection."
"Bullshit. If you're so powerful, why don't you just take the town now? It couldn't possibly be that hard."
Ket flicked her fingers, obviously bored. "So shortsighted. Cross is merely a stepping stone."
Chris shuddered. It's not the first time someone's said that. Still he coudn't let them know he feared them. "And what do you plan to do with me? You can't hurt me, then I wouldn't be good for ransom."
The three burst into laughter. This perturbed Chris.
"Wow", said Ket. "You really ARE shortsighted."
"It's irrelevant to him."
The two glared at Pae, who made the comment. Lena chimed in.
"That's right, Pae. Ket, tell him what we need."
"With a smile. Chris, you're useless to us. You are but a worm. This is the fact of the matter. We need Celine."
Chris smiled. "So do I. What's she to ya?"
"That is not your concern."
"Then she is not your concern, either."
Ket raised her hands, and the room began to shake.
"Then your concern can become this little fact: One twitch of my finger and Cross with everyone in it will be engulfed under the ground of Expel!!"
Lena spoke up. "Ket, calm yourself."
Ket lowered her hands and the shaking stopped. Chris had thought before that Lena was the leader of the three. Now it was varified.
"What do you need me for? Couldn't you take her yourself?"
Pae replied. "We tried-"
Lena interrupted. "Your wife is particularly difficult. She totally avoided one of our sister's traps, and somehow managed to destroy the bones in her hand. Now she's in detainment.
"This is all irrelevant for now, until we talk it over."
Pae raised her hand. The magic around him disappeared.
"You are free to move around the complex. We have nothing to hide. Just know that you're under about 130 feet of sheer rock."
Lena raised her hands. "Sisters, we must meet with Chi. Until later, Prince Chris."
With that, the three vanished.
