(Zero & Maero Product) Beauties and the Beast

[Maero]

Samantha and Samuel both walked into the castle tentatively. The huge dark edifice was far from their home, and its looming walls and gargoyles only served to make them even more nervous. They had come to negotiate the release of their father, he was even then sick at their own castle.

Though his body was free, he was ailed by a curse placed upon him by the beast of this land, and the only way to release their father from his torment and return him to health was to journey to the liar of the monster itself and offer themselves to it in exchange. They both loved their father enough to do so, and both went to the land without hesitation. But neither intended on staying there forever.

Samantha hoped she could reason with the beast, and perhaps alley with it. She wanted to reach an understanding through words that would not end with their imprisonment. Her brother Samuel had other plans. Even then felt the cold scabbard of his hidden sword beneath his cloak. He intended on ending the beast once and for all the moment he had the chance.

The two twins walked on, finding all the doors open for them, leading them straight into the throne room. Once inside the looked around for the monster, and if they could not see it, Samuel would yell, "We are here! Come out now beast so that we may complete the deal!"
