I swing the door open only to slam it shut from the burning sunlight hitting my eyes. I grab my sisters sunglasses and open the door once more.

I stop moving when I see three men in royal garbs, " can I help you gentlemen?"

The guard on the left taps the massive royal flag on the ground three times while the one on the right unrolls a fat golden scroll.

"I am Messanger Leon of the Royal Messangers. We are speaking a Lady of House Eli. Three are to live here and we must speak to one," the middle guard speaks clearly.

"I am one of those three," I state and the guard on the right taps the flags bottom three more times and the middle materializes a small dark brown scroll.

"The Eli sisters are being asked to present before the Royal Court for an assigment review."

"What?! When!" I unribbon the scroll and search for the time.

"Today!" I bow to the guards and thank them for their message. I stop from closing the door and ask if we would need our own transportation or they would take us?

"You must arrive on your own means." They leave and I rush upstairs to wake up my sisters. After all it says sisters, I will not be meeting the Royal Court alone.

"Come on sisters wake up!" I shake the day bed they fell asleep on so they can ster from their slumber.

"Why are you so worked up?!" Zelena mutters as she covers herself with a pillow.

"Like-" I hit her with the pillow she was using as a shield, "I." Another swat, " was saying," I decide to swat her after every word I needed repeating.

"Wait. Why the Royal Court? I thought we had a year before we needed to present ourselves in front of them?" Helia says as she steals the pillow from me and uses it to plop herself up with it.

"Thats why I'm worried!" I wave the scroll at them.

"You don't think they know about the missing mermaid?" We exchange glances in silence not knowing if that could be it.

"Let's see the scroll girls," Goldie joins us then. I hand her the scroll and she begins reading.

"A summoning. Usually it's the Court needing a particular matter needing to be addressed by the summonees. But you three being Eli's they could just want to meet you sooner rather than later. Get ready you three I will deal with setting up a pathway for you three," we all go our seperate ways.

I rush to my wardrobe and begin ranking my brain for possible outfit ideas, I step back and look at the mirror.

"Mirror mirror on my wall what would be the best Court ware?" The mirror takes my reflection and disappears for a few minutes before returning.

My reflection had a red gown with to many ruffles and skirts, "no more business Court Attire."

It skips a few stores then generates three options, the first two weren't colors of my liking but the third was perfect. A dark brown pant with a long skirt over top that held pink floral patterns. The top half was a corset the same brown as the skirt but the sleeve and bust area was a silky soft pink. Tied with long boots. And hair accessories I was ready to purchases.

A large X appears over my appearances, "out of stock! Why show it to me then if I can't even purchase it. Ugg I hate mirror shopping. You never look as good as the reflection."

"Change store and look for the same thing," I command the mirror and a few minutes later I get three good picks.

The first one made me look shorter than I already am. And the second one made me look awkward so I moved on quickly. The third one however I do like.

It is more of a pant suit than a dress, but the cloak the outfit has its beatiful. A deep emeral green cloak with gold stitching patterns every few inches. The specks of gold in between looked like a sea of stars.

The pant suit was dark brown strapless jumpsuit that tuck into knee high boots a few shades darker than the pant suit. A thin golden belt seperates my hips from my torso and a brozen see thru top covers from the belt up to a halters neckline that has embedded pearls and golden patterns around my colar.

I had a mid split back with puffy sleeves that had cufflinks similar to my collar decorations. I purchase the outfit, grab some pearls ear rings, and pin my hair back with pearl and jewels I make my way out to rush my sisters.

I find Zelena in the hallway, "oh you look nice. Tell me you're ready. I've changed my final look twice so we need go to before I decide outfit one was best. It was my color," she mutters as she walks around me to appreciate all angles.

"The blue looks really nice on you. And your outfit in general is so pretty and serene? I don't know how to describe it, you look like lovely lady," she laughs and says thanks.

She was wearing dark red sleeveless, corset dress. The bottom of the dress and held a lot of gold details so did the ends of the cape that drapes off the shoulders, the cape held detachable sleeves which Zelena has chosen to use. She had placed her hair in a low bun and use golden hair pins to hold her hair in place.

"Ready sisters?" Helia walks in last. Her wild red hair has pinned to one side.

She had a dark brown puffy long sleeve dress, that had a slit on one side revealing the darker shaded pants underneath. A thick light brown belt with a pink flower and ornament peices held the gown together. The gown was on the plain side but she made it stunning.

"What is it?" She questions us and I give her accessory advice. We swap her earing for a pair of mine and then we make our way to Goldie.

"Ready girls? Good luck," we jump thru the portal now covering our front door.
