The lights on the golden chandelier begin to fade in and out as the as the guests and the royals in the ballroom look around bewildered. Then suddenly whirlwind kicks up, sending everyone holding on to their head wear and others, as the whirlwind becomes a tornado Suddenly, an black shadow-looking hawk with huge red eyes, springs out of the funnel, screeching and swooping over the crowd, causing everyone to duck and cover their heads in fear. The tornado reaches its peak and explodes in smoke. The smoke was large but it began to dissolves, standing alone in the middle of the floor was three figures. Each of them is tall but the one in front was taller than the other two, standing sides one another. All three of them were dressed in flowing black ragged robes, each wearing a different colored rope tied around their waist. The first figure's rope was connected a glowing object; the black hawk landed on his shoulder with ease.

Quiet murmurs echoed around the room as the figures strode forward purposely toward the throne; Dominick, Elise, the royal princes, Nocturnal and Honey peeking out of the wall panel while Maria, Pearl and Dorocche, all of whom are frightened. Dominick, fueled with anger and frustration, calmly left his family's side and strolled down the stairwell towards the figurines that stood at the bottom.

The king narrowed his eyes. "How dare you barged into the ball room and interrupt the celebration with such witchery? Who do think you are!?"

The front figure let out a spine chilling giggle then spoke in a mild-tone female voice," Why….Dominick…how can you forget about little ol' me…." Dominick eyes were widen as stepped back a bit in shock and spoke breathlessly,"….Merida…?" And with those words, the one called Merida removed her hood from her face revealing a face of a pretty woman in her late 30's, with her fur was black and dark grey but both her eyes and her wavy hair were electric blue although despite her beauty there was a mischievous smile on her face with a hint of pure malice, making Dominick uneasy but still remain strong.

"What are you doing here, Merida?" He spoke calmly though his voice has a tint of anger within it.

Merida chuckled warmly," Well, Dominick, my sisters and I were just in neighborhood after being gone for so long when we heard about a grand celebration for you and your 'family'," she spoke innocently, although the last word she use had a tone of mockery in it. And Dominick knows it.

He growled viciously," Watch your tone, witch! And you know you shouldn't be here!"

'Witch'!? Dorocche thought to himself. What is going on here? How does Papa know her!?

Merida continued on, ignoring the angered king," Still, it was very upsetting for you not to invite us to your party, such a shame indeed…" She stated sadly, like her feelings were hurt, shaking her head slowly. The other two figures did the same.

Before he could respond, Dominick sense an unusual force around Merida…something…..dark and evil…something nobody should ever tamper with. Dominick staggered back a little further and stood firmly. "Now see here, Merida…You and your sisters know the very reason why you are not welcome here, you were banished a long time ago. And as King of Neptunia, I am regarded to remove you from this country."

Merida smile faded away. A sudden change of aura around her was becoming hostile, as if her anger was beginning to rise. Merida glared at Dominick," So as King, you could do 'whatever' you want, huh? One word…and it is as followed. Well, your 'highness' I too possess that same powers….only more…darker."

Merida grabbed the glowing object which appears to be a reliquary, a mystical lantern although it was somehow it had an ominous color shade green. The royal family was becoming very nervous, each and every one of them sense a dark and evil presence surrounding the three figures. "Tonight, Dominick, you will be banished with a CURSE…BY THE DEVIL SISTERS!"

Everyone gasped...

The other figures removed their hoods, revealing two more women with the same color fur, only the difference that their hair styles and eye colors weren't same like Merida's. One women's eyes and hair were the color of fiery red and the other women had deep brown. But all have a malicious smirk on their faces. The Devil Sisters: Merida, Madina and Mudrina have come to seek revenge on the royal family…

Merida held the reliquary high as the sisters announced their ritual of a terrible omen.

"By the fortnight…."
"You…and your family…."
"….Will DIE!"

Everyone gasped in horror by the witch's words. Dorocche couldn't believe his own ears. A curse was place upon his family, foreshadowing their death within the week. What could his father have done to those witches?

Then Merida spoke, pointing her long vicious, claw at Dominick,"…We will not rest until we see the end of the Mousinov line…." She swirled and released the reliquary's dark power at the silver chandelier, "FOREVER!" The chandelier has fallen to the ground causing great panic amongst the guest who moved out of the way. No one was hurt. Dominick eyes widen in shock and fear, he then snarled viciously," You witches will regret this! I SWEAR IT!" Merida just smiled at him," You will be dead before that happens…you AND your pathetic family!" A rim of green and black fire surround the witches, consuming them but not until Merida said her last words," I will enjoy hearing your screams!" And for after that, the Devil Sisters, the most deadly and vilest witches across the country of Neptunia, were gone out of sight.

The young prince, Dorocche, was struck with fear that chilled inside his body. His heart was pounding fast and his legs were beginning to tremble. He stopped when he heard a faint heavy breathing besides him until he realizes it was his baby sister. She was one the floor, quivering with fear in her eyes and breathing rapidly. Dorocche knelt beside his sister, wrapping his arms around and holding her firmly, "Calm down, sis, calm down…everything is going to be alright…"

Dorocche mother ran to her daughter's side, calling out," Somebody get my daughter a glass of water! Quickly…!" Luckily, Honey already has it ready and brought it to the queen. The queen accepted it and let her daughter drink it.

After she was done, Elise picks her daughter up and letting her daughter rest down a bit. Dorocche then gazed at his surroundings; he saw that everyone was tense about what just has happened. Every guest was murmuring amongst themselves with worry and fear but his father just announced that everyone is allowed to leave and be escorted home, quickly. He turns around to see Orlando and Lutheran trying to ease down their grand-mother, who is going through a state of fright, breathing heavily like she had a near heart attack.

Dorocche was having mix feelings crawling inside of him; shock-of this sudden occurrence on this special day, guilt-for not standing beside his own father, anger-those witches has placed a curse on his own family and fear-will they really die!?

The young prince didn't know what to do, he felt so lost. He felt a paw on his should; he turned to see the yellow colored servant, staring at him with concern." Are you worried, your majesty?" Dorocche didn't want to admit it but he knew in his heart that he was frightened for not himself but for his family. Still, he doesn't want Honey to worry," I am fine, Honey…" he lied giving her a fake smile that was convincing to most people. But Honey knew the prince better than any other servant in the entire palace; still she decided not to push the matter any further. There has been enough excitement for one night…

Though this is a night that no one will ever forget….
