Beauty and the Beast brothers

p r o l o g u e

Once upon a time in a faraway land at Razkaban, four young princes lived in a shining crystallized palace. Who's well known as the most magnetic and fascinating princes, the Arvain brothers. They had everything. Lahat ng gustuhin nila ay napapa-sakanila. But this one thing really matters, their attitude. Rude, mean, selfish— that's how people usually described them. These lads don't have any concern or respect for the rights and feelings of other lowborn people.

"Hey, ayaw mong bumaba? Uminom tayo!" Pag aaya ng ikatlong prinsepeng si Thorne sa ika-unang prinsepe. Thorne is an alcoholic guy. He loves liquors for one particular reason, he never gets drunk.

"Oo nga man! I got a lot of girls there!" Said the panty wrecker, Bright, the fourth prince. Thorne's twin brother. "Let's enjoy the party!" He added. Oh well, he's just enjoying it because of his women. This guy is a womanizer, playful, and lustful.

Sa gilid nito ay ang napapa-iling na ikalawang prinsepe. Altef, the mysterious Altef Arvain. He is this quiet type of guy. He's always cool, enigmatic, and calm. He's a deep-thinking person who hates crowded and noisy places. But Oh, he has this oh so-called 'partner in life', his one and only, guitar. Yes, you read it right.

"Get lost. Wag niyo ko itulad sa inyo." Naiinis na sabi ng isang lalaking may maangas na pag-kakaupo. The crowned prince, Zerous Arvain. He's too bad-tempered and easily gets annoyed. He loves fights and troubles. They say, he had the worst personality among them. Rude, serious, and heartless.

"The life of this two is really boring. Buti nalang hindi kami naging kayo. Ikamamatay ko ng maaga ang ganyang buhay, diba kambal?" Nakangising sabi ni Thorne. Agad namang sumang-ayon si Bright at nakipag bro-fist sa kakambal niya.

"Sabihin niyo lang kapag napagod kayo sa buhay niyo, I have a lot of girls. I do sharings." Said Bright.

"Alam mo kambal wala tayong mapapala dito. Look at Altef, he's always holding that instrument. Yan na ata ang forever niya!" Napatigil si Altef sa pag-totono ng gitara niya at tska nginisihan ang kambal. "I don't do playings." He said. Napa kamot sa ulo ang dalawa.

"You hate fun that much?"

"Music is fun."

"That guitar doesn't even makes you boner bro haha." Sabay tawa pa nila. Hindi nalang ito pinansin ni Altef. Pinagpatuloy nalang niya ang pag-aaral sa bago niyang nakahuhumalingang kanta.

"Hey twin fuckers. This is my last warning. I'll bang your faces or just shut your filthy mouth?" Zerous said in a serious tone. Prenteng prente lang itong nakaupo habang naka taas ang dalawang paa sa lamesa. Para namang mga duwag na nag zipper ng bibig ang kambal.

Well, he's the boss because he's the oldest.

The whole castle is filled with the loud beats of music downstairs. People are partying and dancing on the ground floor. There's a lot of ambrosia and mouthwatering food on its side. Girls are fabulously dancing with their different stunning gowns and jewelry. So as boys. Ang ground floor ay punong puno ng mga nag papa-yabangang mayayamang bisita mula pa sa ibat ibang lugar. Today is a grand occasion. It's the king's fiftieth birthday, but sadly, he's already dead together with the late queen.

Isang malakas na tunog ang narinig sa kasagsagan ng kasayahan. Isang madungis na batang babae ang kinakaladkad ng mga guwardiya paakyat sa silid kung saan nandon ang mga prinsipe. The people around doesn't even care.

"Mahal na prinsipe! Ang batang ito ay nanggugulo sa baba!" Bungad ng mga guwardiya. They threw the little girl down the shining tiles. The dirty child is crying.

Napatigil ang apat at napa-tuon sa senaryo.

"G-gusto k-ko lamang po ng t-t-tubig! P-parang awa ni-niyo na!" The little girl said while sobbing in tears. She bring out a small apple inside her pocket and looked up again into the princes. The red apple from her pocket seems really dazzling and lively. She offered it in return for a glass of water to filled her thirstiness and hunger. The twin princes laugh because of that.

"This little beggar is crazy."

"Sa tingin mo kailangan namin ng mansanas?" Bright asked with amusement while Thorne is dying because of laughter. Altef just smirks so as the crowned prince.

"B-believe me! It's magical!" Said the girl. Zerous suddenly stands up and walks toward the child. Kinuha niya ang mansanas sa kamay ng bata at tska ito tinapakan matapos itapon sa sahig. He kicked the little girl, tumilapon ito at tumama sa pader ang naka-aawang payat na katawan nito. The little child groaned in pain. He just hissed.

"Sa susunod, ayokong makakakita ng basura dito." Inis na sabi ni Zerous bago dumaretso palabas ng lakad.

But he stopped when he heard what the little girl said.

"Don't be deceived by the appearance young lad, because beauty is found within." At dahil don ay natigilan ang lahat. The beat on the dance floor stopped not because of what the little girl said but because of the very loud sound that comes from the sky, that follows a flash of lightning. Biglang dumilim ang paligid at nabuo ang malalakas na kulog at kidlat sa kalangitan.

Agad na napalingon si Zerous pabalik.

The dirty little girl ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. She's shining, she's glowing, she's dazzling, luminous and lucent. She's so bright. She's so beautiful.

Nagulat ang lahat at nabato sa kinatatayuan dahil sa nakita.

The other princes tried to apologize but it's too late, for what she had seen that there was no love in their heart, they're heartless, a total demons. And as a punishment, she transformed the four princes into a hideous beast as she cast a powerful spell in the castle and all who lived there.

"All of you will be forgotten along with your castle!" The enchantess shouted in anger. The red apple she had offered was truly a magical apple, which would bloom a magical tree to protect their shining castle until forever. If the worst prince learns to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last apple fell off the magical tree, then the curse would be broken. The princes and the castle will return into its shining form but if not,

"If not, all of you would be doomed to live in the darkness, forever."

Who could ever learn to love a beast?
