In a huge castle on top of a mountain, preparation for a very important event is in full swing. People and creatures rush here and there as time quickly ticks down to the last minute. In a huge ball room, streamers are strewn across the room like spider webs, and balloons are everywhere, painting the scene in a colourful array. Against one wall, beautifully wrapped presents are stacked up, towering towards the high ceiling. Against the walls, tables with all sorts of goodies and drinks are set up, and at the far wall a huge cake sits proudly.
In the midst of the chaos, a small child flies around, barking out orders in her wind chime of a voice.
Trixie: Rowan! Raise that streamer higher! Rosalind! Those balloons need to be bigger! Kani! The presents are not for climbing, and Rokevir! NO PEEKING THOSE ARE NOT YOUR PRESENTS!!
Shay: Trix, quit being so bossy.
Trixie: Shay, why are you just standing there? There’s stuff that needs to be done! Kuu! Stop eating the icing on the cake! Elrothan, the presents are starting to tumble! Don’t let them-
Crash!
Trixie: Fall. *sighs* -.-
Over at the entrance of the castle, Ali and several others stand and wait.
Ali: *checking her list* ..Sierra… Blue… Russian… Rebecca… Blaze… Zero… Isidor… I think that’s everyone.
Galden: You sure?
Ali: I made a list, and checked it twice. Everyone is here.
Brenjie: *was standing quietly with his eyes closed, but they are now open and full of excitement* Yup, and guess who’s on his way.
Galden and Ali: 0.0
The three rush into the ballroom.
Ali: He's coming!! Quick, everyone, hide!
Everyone scatters, and in seconds the place is deathly silent.
