Zelda led her sisters and child into the courtyard, where the revolution officially began. She pulled out her weapon and instructed Reese to pull out their's, just in case there were a few knights that couldn't be hypnotized. "It has begun," she announced to the knights, "join us or perish by your own hand."

Reese seemed a little hesitant to brace for battle, but followed their mother's commands. It was all for their best, right?

Veronica followed Zelda. Kathrina put on a ring and called to the dead outside the castle, bidding them to join the fight.

In the courtyard, Veronica giggled and started casting, a large bubble of reddish light forming above her.

“Say the word, sister. Any that see this thing pop will be hypnotized. I can make these things forever,”Veronica said, snickering.

Ancient skeletons crawled from the ground, making their way to Kathrina. One particular individual, still holding an ancient sword, stepped in front of Kathrina and bowed.

“Greetings. We shall wait until an adequate amount of soldiers have gathered, then march,”Kathrina explained to the skeleton.

It nodded and turned away, raising its sword high, ready to call for the charge.

(If you check the currently online list, it doesn't say her name.)

Plenty of soldiers rushed in and Zelda raised a hand. "Now!"

Reese looked surprised but got back in a fighting stance. They chose not to say anything, as they knew anything their mom did must have been reasonable. Right?

(Sorry, I'm here now!!!)

Adelia turned to see Jovie rushing onto the balcony, her eyes filled with worry.

"Jovie? What is it?" the queen asked.

"The courtyard," her maid replied breathlessly.

(Not sure where the online list is, still new here. Heck, I didn’t even know a list existed.)
(Oh, hey. ‘Big happy wave’)

Veronica waved a hand and the bubble popped, a bright light flashing through the whole courtyard. She giggled at the sight of the soldiers stumbling to a halt.

“Fight for us,”Veronica said.

The soldiers nodded, waiting for orders.

“Zelda,”Veronica said, waving at the soldiers invitingly.

A large contingent of skeletons surrounded Kathrina and she nodded at the leader. The skeleton with the sword lowered its arm at the gate. The contingent charged, flooding through the gates.

Kathrina casually followed. When she entered the courtyard, she smiled at the horde of skeletons, all waiting for something to attack.

Adelia quickly raced through the halls towards the courtyard. Jovie was hot on her heels.

"What did you see?" Adelia asked as they ran.

Jovie's eyes glistened with fear. "Some kind of army. Skeletons or something. It's terrifying."

Adelia's face instantly drained of emotion. "Oh no."

Zelda let out a muffled cackle. "Soldiers, let us in the castle and let these skeletons plough you down! Whoever doesn't die by the skeletons' hands shall hang themselves on the balcony!" She walked closer to them as she let out the instructions, a cackle in her throat.

Reese, on the other hand, still seemed confused. They knew nothing of the history or why they were attacking this place.

(Still want to know about the ‘online list’. I don’t where it is)

Veronica smirked, but doesn’t object to the harsh orders of Zelda. Though, she giggled about Zelda’s wording.

The soldiers opened the doors and stood helplessly as the skeletons washed over them. In moments, the undead army had gained new members. The skeletons rushed forward into the castle while the fresh soldiers stood waiting to escort the three sisters.

“I do love the dead so. They’re so polite,”Kathrina mused.

“You are just morbid,”Veronica teased.

Kathrina laughed.

(Are you on a computer?)

Adelia heard the sounds of violence from below. She quickly turned to her maid and looked her firmly in the eyes. "I need you to escape. Whatever you do, don't follow me," she urged.

Jovie's panic turned to confusion, which gave way to determination. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that Your Majesty. I am sworn to protect you, and I will not abandon you."

The queen pressed her lips together tightly and thought for a moment. Suddenly, a skeleton came around a corner behind her. Jovie's eyes widened, and she quickly moved into a defensive position in front of the queen.

"Jovie!" Adelia cried, but the young maid suddenly unsheathed a hidden sword at her waist.

"Let me protect you, Your Majesty," she replied, setting herself firmly on guard. "I was trained for this."

Zelda strolled into the chaos-filled castle, Reese following behind her. "Well, sister," she monologued to herself, "look who's winning now."

(Unrelated to the list thing, but are we still doing the child confusion?)

(Why am I just imagining Adelia giving Zelda trouble for "enchanting a child", Reese being confused as hell and Adelia telling Reese that she can fix whatever Zelda did? Why is that the main thing on my mind?)

(This is what you're talking about, right?)

Veronica and Kathrina followed Zelda, making jokes about skeletons. As they walked, Veronica took a sword from a dead soldier, scrutinizing the weapon, then handed it to Kathrina and grabbed another.

“Why thank you, sister,”Kathrina said, giggling.

“You’re very welcome, Kati.”

(Why am I just imagining Adelia giving Zelda trouble for "enchanting a child", Reese being confused as hell and Adelia telling Reese that she can fix whatever Zelda did? Why is that the main thing on my mind?)

(This is what you're talking about, right?)

(Yes.)

The skeleton rushed at Jovie, but she deflected it smoothly with her sword and quickly disposed of it. (I'm sorry I suck at writing currently) Then, she turned back to face the queen. "I'm sorry for disobeying your orders, my queen, but I refuse to leave you here alone to fend for yourself against whatever threat this is."

Adelia smiled sadly. What she truly wanted to say, the words she longed to tell her maid more than anything else, burned in her throat. It was currently impossible to tell her. What came out was, "Thank you, Jovie. Your loyalty gives me hope."

From downstairs, voices floated up to reach her ears. Terrifyingly familiar voices. Adelia went pale, and Jovie reached forward to steady her. "Your Majesty? What is it?"

Zelda cackled. "Finally! What's ours is almost back!"

(Short reply, I know.)

“Yeah!”Veronica replied to Zelda.

Kathrina didn’t reply to Zelda, instead patting a zombie on the soldier. She smiled, despite no reaction from the zombie.

“You’re touching that thing?”Veronica gasped.

“Yes. You got a problem with that?”Kathrina huffed.

“No,”Veronica warily replied.

Kathrina snickered. Veronica laughed in reply.

"Follow me," Adelia whispered. She led the way closer to the stairwell, where her sisters would be passing by any second.

"My queen," Jovie hissed quietly, "please tell me what is going on."

"There are some thing I've kept secret," Adelia replied slowly. "And I will tell you everything. But right now, just consider it family issues."

"Family issues?" Jovie asked, looking more confused than ever.

Adelia hesitated. "I… have three sisters. And they don't exactly like me."

Zelda led her group towards the stairwell. "This is it, sisters. It's the final confrontation!"

Reese halted to a stop behind her as they reached the stairwell. They didn't know what any of this meant or who they were confronting.

Kathrina commanded a few undead soldiers to go first up the stairs, an evil grin appearing on her face.

“It’ll be so fun to see our pitiful sister whimper and cry,”Kathrina said.

“Ooh, yeah. Hey, Zelda, if you torture her, can I take her fingernails? I haven’t used my needle in so long!”Veronica asked.

Kathrina rose an eyebrow at her. Veronica crossed her arms across her chest, grinning at her.

“And you call me morbid,”Kathrina commented.

“We’re both demented in our own ways,”Veronica replied.

They giggled together.
