EARTH, CENTURY APARTMENT-
The royals are at the park, pondering what to do. Silvia, an extrovert with a crazy personality was sitting on the stairs. She was known for doing weird and crazy things all the time. Admya, the foodie in the group, was seated comfortably beside Silvia. And finally, Calypso, the intelligent one who makes all the decisions, stands nearby, engaged in conversation. She always had a mysterious aura around her. "I'm so bored." Calypso exclaimed, feeling incredibly restless. "Same here, we have played all games, read thousands of stories and listened to millions of songs... what's next?" Silvia asked. "March is so dull, there's nothing to do." Admya grumbled. Silvia scanned the area and noticed a crowd gathered before a wall. "What's going on over there?" she wondered. Admya rose to her feet and headed toward the commotion. "Let's go check it out." she proposed. Suddenly, the crowd erupted into screams and scattered away from the wall.
"Admya!" Calypso yelled, and Silvia jumped up. They sprinted towards Admya, who was staring at the wall. "Why is everyone running? Admya, what happened?" Silvia asked urgently. "L-look at t-that." Admya whispered, pointing at the wall. They followed her gaze and immediately froze. "What is that!?" Calypso exclaimed. "It looks like a black hole or perhaps... a portal!" Silvia suggested with a sense of wonder. Just then, someone emerged from the portal. A woman stood before them, dressed in black clothes, with piercing red eyes and vibrant purple hair.
"Hey Calypso and Silvia, did you miss me?" the woman said with a smirk. "She has met you before?!" Admya whispered to her friends in surprise. "How are you still alive?!" Calypso exclaimed, ignoring Admya's question. "Honey, I rose up from the dead. I've got a list of names and yours is in red underlined." She said with a hint of anger in her voice. "No, no, no! This can't be true, no... it's just a bad dream." Silvia said, still struggling to believe that the woman was back. "Trust me, it's true, Silvia. And I have a surprise for you." The woman's sweet smile belied the fear in their eyes. Calypso, irritated by the woman's fake sweetness, demanded, "What do you want?!" The woman casually replied, "I don't want anything specific, I just want to have the world at my fingertips." before revealing her magic wand. "Let me show you my new powers," she said, casting a spell that transformed all the adults into dragons.
"Quick, run!" Admya screamed as she witnessed the adults transforming into terrifying dragons. They dashed for cover behind a nearby car. "But what about our parents?" Silvia asked, her voice filled with fear. "I don't know... but they may have transformed too." Calypso replied, trying to control her emotions. "Who is she? How does she know about you two? Are you keeping something from me?" Admya bombarded her friends with urgent questions. "We'll explain everything later, but right now we need to get out of here." Calypso said, pointing hastily towards a nearby mall. "No, if those dragons spot us, we're done for." Silvia protested, and Admya nodded in agreement. "We're going, and that's final. 1... 2... 3, run!" Calypso yelled before shoving her friends in the direction of the mall and taking off. The dragons caught sight of them and began to attack. Admya and Silvia raced towards the mall, their hearts pounding with fear. "I can't believe you, Calypso!" Silvia yelled, frustrated by her best friend's actions.
EARTH, MALL-
"You're so dramatic." Calypso quipped, observing her friends panting heavily after their run. "And you're so stupid." Silvia shot back. "What makes you think I'm being stupid?" Calypso asked, raising an eyebrow. "Do you really think it's wise to run from a safe location to a mall while being chased by dragons?" Silvia challenged. "Absolutely." Calypso asserted confidently. "What if one of us got injured or, worse, died because of your risky idea?" Admya interjected, while Silvia looked at Calypso in disbelief "We don't need to think that because nothing happened to anyone and Admya, you want food or not?" Calypso stated firmly. "Of course, I need food." Admya responded. "So, are you on my side or not?" Calypso pressed. "Of course, I am always with you." Admya affirmed. "So, is Silvia an idiot or not?" Calypso asked, shooting a glance at Silvia. "Of course, she is an idiot." Admya replied. "You know this foodie will always take the side of the one who is having food." Silvia remarked, rolling her eyes.
They went to the mall, gathered food, water, and other essential items, and divided them into three bags. "Each of us will carry one bag. I'll take the one with food." Admya stated. "No way! You'll end up eating everything! I'll carry it." Silvia retorted. "What do we do now?" Calypso inquired as they made their way toward the exit. Suddenly, the woman appeared in front of them and chuckled, "Not so fast, you troublemakers. You are not safe on this planet anymore." Dragons began to attack them. The Royals dashed towards the other exit of the mall.
As they ran onto the road, Admya tripped over a rock and fell down. "Admya, run!" Calypso and Silvia yelled simultaneously as they spotted a dragon about to strike her. A woman with orange hair and hazel eyes teleported in front of Admya and used her magical powers to shield her from the dragon.
The dragon attempted to attack again, but the woman used her powers on the dragon, causing it to collapse on the road. The royals were astounded by what they had just witnessed. The woman turned around and helped Admya to her feet. A thunderous roar erupted from the sky, and more dragons began to emerge from the clouds. "Looks like these dragons won't leave us alone. Come with me. I know of a place that is completely safe from these beasts." the woman said, eyeing the dragons. Calypso and Silvia looked at each other, unsure of what to do. "Let's go with her, or else these terrifying monsters will burn us alive." Admya urged, looking at her friends. "Fine, we'll come with you." Calypso declared.
