{Nixon hurried through the castle with deep concern etched across his face. His sources had informed him that Genevieve and Ash were on a quest to find the items needed to break the curse that had ensnared Starlessia. He knew that he had to deliver this urgent news to Nocturnia and Sablethorn immediately. As he approached the grand doors leading to the throne room, Nixon took a deep breath to steady his nerves. The fate of Fairyland hung in the balance, and he was the bearer of grave tidings. With resolve, he pushed open the heavy doors and entered the throne room, where the rulers of the Court of Shadows awaited him. Nocturnia and Sablethorn, their faces filled with dark anticipation, turned to Nixon as he approached.}
{Nocturnia, her voice laced with curiosity} Nixon, you seem agitated. What brings you here at this hour?
{Nixon, breathless and worried} Your Majesties, I have urgent news. Genevieve and Ash are on a quest to break the curse over Starlessia. They already have the Tears of Moonlight and the Heart's Purest Desire.
{Sablethorn yelling} THEY WHAT!!!!!!!
{Nocturnia, her eyes narrowing} This is troubling news. We cannot allow them to succeed in finding the Living Star. It is the last piece they need to break the curse.
{Sablethorn, his voice filled with determination} Gather our loyal followers, Nixon. We must intercept Genevieve and Ash before they obtain the Living Star. It is our only chance to maintain our hold on Fairyland.
{Nixon, acknowledging Sablethorn's orders, quickly leaves the throne room to carry out his mission. He knows the urgency of the situation and the importance of preventing Genevieve and Ash from obtaining the Living Star.}
{Nocturnia} We better let out little dark shadow know about this.
{Sablethorn nods at this as he and Nocturnia stand up and head to Starlessia bedroom. The room was adorned with shadowy decor and eerie relics, reflecting her affinity for the Court of Shadows. Starlessia's bed was draped with obsidian silk, and a large crystal ball sat on a pedestal near the window. Starlessia was sitting at her dresser brushing her dark black hair.}
{Nocturnia, with a motherly tone} Starlessia, dear, we have urgent news.
{Starlessia, turning to face her parents with a look of curiosity} What is it, Mother, Father?
{Sablethorn, explaining the situation} Genevieve and Ash are on a quest to break the curse over you. They already possess the Tears of Moonlight and the Heart's Purest Desire.
{Starlessia's eyes gleamed with a mix of anger and determination.} Genevieve and Ash? They dare to challenge us?
{Nocturnia} Yes, my dear. This is a critical moment for our kingdom, and we need your guidance. We must find a way to intercept them before they obtain the Living Star.
{Starlessia, her wicked smile returning} Fear not, Mother and Father. I have a plan. Genevieve and Ash will soon realize that they are playing right into our hands.
{Sablethorn} What do you have in mind, Starlessia?
{Starlessia, her voice dripping with malice} It's time to set a trap, and our little shadows will dance to our tune.
{Sablethorn} Tell us your plan, Starlessia. We will do whatever it takes to ensure our victory.
{Starlessia, her eyes shimmering with malevolence} First, we'll use the Tears of Moonlight and the Heart's Purest Desire they've collected against them. I'll weave a powerful illusion to make it seem like they've found the Living Star, but in reality, it will be a trap.
{Nocturnia, intrigued} An illusion? How convincing can you make it?
{Starlessia} Convincing enough to lure them in, Mother. They'll believe they've succeeded, and we'll be waiting for them.
