"So what now?" Aileen asked Bemia.

"We're going to save the cursed one so that he can finish his mission, anyone who tries to stop us will be a downfall," Fachnan said with an angry tone.

The moment was quiet.

"How do we do that, do you have any plans?" Aileen asked her.

"I have a plan..." Beomia's voice echoed throughout the room as she came with a book and a thin cream sheet of drawings.

They all drew near as she brought what she held to the table. She placed the sheet on the table and openly spread it wide across it.

"What is this," Aileen asked her.
"The map to the inside and outside of the castle," Beomia responded.

"How sure are you that the King has not changed the castle's layout?" Aileen asked.

"Because I've gone in recently," Beomia said.

"What are you talking about Beomia?" He is asked.

"Yes, I went into the castle to get some information about the cursed one, and then I found it," she explain.

"If that then let's go right now before worst can get to worst," Aileen said.

"No," Bemia said.
"What?" Aileen asked.
"I said no, we are not going anywhere," she said.

"But Bemia, you saw what happened to Ganzorig; may her soul be at peace, we can't allow that to befall the cursed. He is the only one that could help us end this once and for all," Beomia said.

He looked at her for a while, "We leave at dawn
," she said.

They all prepared their armor, and battle instruments-battle axe, sword, dagger, bow and arrow, shuriken, and all other weapons they needed to ensure their win.

The sun fell and the winds became cold as the dawn hour drew nigh. They gathered themselves and held their hand to form a circular ring. Aileen was at the point of confusion but she followed with a cool head, not knowing what exactly they were going to do at that particular moment.

The daughters opened their mouths to utter some words; recitals, it was a prayer.

"Our father Abel who dwells in Hades.
Consecration be unto thy holy name.
Let your domain come and your purpose be done on the surface as you have planned for us.
Give us this day our day-to-day victories and secure us from our weaknesses to enable us to win the everyday fight.
But deliver us from evil, for yours is Hades, the powers thereof, forever and ever,
Amen."

They were done reciting their prayer and they headed out of their house.

Beomia led them with the map in her hands and the others followed behind stealthily through the side yards of the slum houses. They got to the castle's massive door but deviated to a narrow path, still making sure no one saw them. Eventually, they came to a small cage gate, made of blackish-brown metal. One of the youngest sisters came closer and hacked the lock with a two-piece metal.

All six of them run in hastily and we're ready to face anything that will come at them.

They found a small hallway, which had flames of fire as a torches on the walls at reasonable distances. Onward they moved, fearless, brave, and determined to rescue the cursed one from the hands of the vicious King.

That small cage gate they entered through, led to the castle's dungeon. They passed by the bars from one dungeon chamber to the other, in search of the curse but did not find him.
