Ariel, Flounder, and Sebastian walked out of the house after doing the work of two spring cleanings. They smelled of soap and were fairly tired.

Ariel walked up to Elle's house and opened the door without knocking. "Elle? I was wondering if you could tell Phillip I'm sorry? That is all." She slammed the door with a sigh as she yawned and closed her eyes.

Flounder and Sebastian walked to the new neighbors house, they had an assortment of cookies that Sebastian had baked up in a hurry, cooking ha always soothed him. As they arrived they set the batch on the porch and waited silently.

Karin snickered to herself a bit at the memory of Phillip's reaction. Priceless. She was also glad that Ella had a sense of humor about this. Not that it would have stopped her, she just would have had to be a lot more subtle and probably apologize more.

She made a salute to the new person with the bow and stepped forward a bit. "I am the great prince Klaus of house Sørensen in Daknram! Commander of armies! You may call me Karin if you like, though. Everyone else does right now," she introduced herself proudly, standing tall despite her short height and probably failing to look every bit the warrior she was due to her living-doll-like state.

Elle smiled tiredly when Ariel walked passed her and Karin on the front porch. She nodded, too tired to speak, closing her eyes, falling asleep on the front porch. There was nothing much they could do at the moment besides warn people. That and wait. It was all they could do for now.

It hadn't taken as long as he thought it would. But it had been very painful. Dropping back down in front of Ella's house he stood up slowly. Phillip looked... different. Instead of his Normie clothes, a dark suit with a dark undershirt and glasses, he was in armor. Silver, gold and red armor with a beast pelt over his left shoulder. His silver hair had become pure snow white, long and slightly wavy, glistening like snow in the sunshine. His eyes were a pure blood red, his features more enchanting with the release of all his demonic blood. He was in full demon form now. And he didn't look real. More like a fantasy warrior.

Gus was by his Prince's side, dress in full black armor, his long curving horns atop his pitch black hair. There were more of his Brother spies behind him and the Ice Prince. They were all demons, with attributed to a specific animal in some sort of way in the way they dressed. There was a good handful of them too. They were dealing with the Dragon after all. And this wasn't the first Dragon they had dealt with. Demon Phillip looked over at Ella who was sound asleep on her porch and he grinned. He looked over at Ariel and her two friends sitting on their own porch and he gave a small courteous bow. A giant sword strapped to his back and two short sword on both of his hips, he looked ready for battle, gleaming in the sunlight. And he smiled. His demonic blood was craving battle.

A few hours passed,well,more than a few hours and Charles stood a few distance frome town. Thanks to his enchant vision, he was able to see farther than any human. He could see the albino standing tall on the fence.

" Jack and Jill...i have a job for you. Catch the ugly duckling...i need something from him before i tear that town apart." He said. " i know those fools will get in my way,so i brought my army along.."

Jill bowed her head." As you wish sire.." she motioned Jack to follow her and stood back from her brother when they where close to duck. Jack held out his hand,his red eyes glowed a haunting red

---

Duck sneezed and kept his arms folded. He let out a big yawn." Come on already.." he growled. Suddenly, he was unable to move. "W-what tha...i Cant move!!"

"Welcome back. Someone obviously cleans up nicely." Karin greets from her place on the porch. Indeed, he did look like quite a force to be reckoned with, not that she had expected anything less of him. He seemed to be a very decent unearthly being. She was a little jealous, actually. It was hard not to be when comparing the now even greater difference in physical prowess. If only she could just break this curse...

She glances over at the sleeping Ella for a moment, wondering if she should wake her up to let her know Phillip was back. Nah, she probably needed to rest. It wouldn't be cool of him to get in the way of that. Instead she turned back to Phillip.
"So, I assume you have a plan, then?"

James: I notice the duck and hear him say that he can't move, and then see Jack & Jill. I run over and grab Duck, then run towards me and Ashley's house. "So Jack & Jill work for Charles? WHat do they want with you?"

" oh darn...the got away..." Jill said in an cailm voice. Jack simply lowered his hand

" your guess is way better than mines ..." duck looked back for an moment

Hansel looked our the window and called Gretel back in to clean up the bowls while he started to copy the German papers into English so the library could have some German tales. Gretel waved the spoon and shoke her head looking around she opened one of the boxes and spilit the contents of q vile around the house in every window will and door ways. "Hansel the protectent is in place "

Phillip gestured to the Duck. "Actually, the Duck and Puss know a bit more than I do about this situation," he said with a tilted smile, "They will need to inform us of all they know about this situation before we can make a proper plan. Otherwise I'll just deal with this dragon as I did the last." He drew his claymore, the sword bigger than the silver, gold and red amoured prince, his red eyes gleaming sharply. He sent a smirk towards Karin, feeling a bit childish proud in how easily he could hold the massive blade with just one hand.

"Where is Duck, anyhow?" he asked calmly. He looked over at Red and the Wolf. "Ah, there he is," he raised a brow, "Jack and Jill, hm... Looks like the Duck is just as important as rumored." He put away his blade and looked over at Gus. The dark slender male bowed and looked over at the Duck with his one eye. "Better keep an eye on him."

"So, what all do we know?"

Karin tried her best not to let her jealousy show. But darn... She was pretty jealous.
Whatever. I'm still cooler than he is, and I'l prove it! Somehow. She pouted internally, but tried to brush it off outwardly with a smirk of her own. "So you're a dragon hunter, eh? Not bad. We should fight sometime when the town isn't being threatened."

She looked to the others for explanations on what information they had, doubting that she had anything relevant to what Phillip was looking for at the moment.

Gretel looked outside opening the door she called to her brother she was going out"Hallo I'm Gretel" she said to the group not caressing if she was intruding them at all.

James: I bring Duck inside and set him on the couch, before walking to the kitchen and grabbing a Budweiser.

Karin turned to the newcomer. "Hej! I am the great Klaus of house Sørensen and pride of the Daknram army, but you can call me Karin. Everybody else does right now." She stood proudly, trying to look like a fierce warrior despite the fact that she looked like some sort of doll.

Gretel giggled a bit " I'm still Gretel you know from the German fairy-tale Hansel and Gretel." She said in a slight German acsent.

Phillip grinned and gave the Princess Prince a wink. "I wouldn't want to hurt you, Princess," he smirked, "but anything you desire shall be my pleasure." He fought the urge to laugh and stick his tongue out like a child. Ugh. He frowned. This little creature sure did get to him. It ticked him off...

A lady calling herself Gretel showed up and Phillip gave a small polite bow. Gus, the dark slender assassin next him gave a small bow and introduced his master.

"His Highness High Prince Phillip Whillam Alexander van Vildenrosa III, Phillip the Dragon Slayer, Phillip the Ice Hearted," the servant informed. Phillip straightened in surprise and bristled, grabbing the other male by the neck of his shirt.

"Ice Hearted?! What kind of title is that?!" he turned a bit pink. Gus just chuckled and shrugged. The Prince set him down and crossed his arms, sulking a bit. James brought in the duck and made himself at home, so Phillip tilted his head, telling his army of white clad yet strikingly gorgeous demon warriors to relax. They still stood, but now more in casual stances. It looked like a group of models about to do shooting for something. You just had to love how demons looked so angelic.

Gretel almost rolled over laughing then Stroud up straight " well hello to u to Mr. Ice dude what fairy-tale are you for. As I can feel you don't know where I am from." Her German ascent making it harder to understand. Holding out a small book she smiled it had the cover of Hansel and Gretel story as the real. " Hansel wrote our story down in English again since the Americans couldn't understand German and mixed up some things."

Prince Phillip smirked and crossed his arms over his chest. "I am from the garish tale of Sleeping Beauty, who is, by the way, my sister-in-law," his cold eyes glanced down at the book and he smirked, looking back up at the girl, "And I know all about you and your brother, my dear, as well as every other fairy tale creature." He gestured to the demons behind him. "My 'spiders' tell me all I need to know," he grinned, red eyes gleaming like frozen blood on steel, "I also have enjoyed many tales both written by the Normies and spread by other fairy tale creatures. It's my duty to stay well informed..." He glanced towards where Charming's empty house stood, "...just in case."

Duck sighed and looked down." I think i know what he wants now. I promised my aunt mother goose i would never speak about it.." he sighed."....he's after the golden egg. My aunt trusted me to protect it and i will.."

"I see...you couldnt get him. Right now, i dont have time for Phillip. I want that boy.." Charles hissed and flew off into the town. There he was...at last

Some on Charles's skin was coated with hard scales. He was slightly taller than the ice prince, his ripped bare chest revealed to world. A scaly tail had followed him and his huge wings where folded. The dragon hybrid let out an loud roar." Come out little duckling...you have something i need!"

Gretel looked up waved and then started running on her long legs to her house. " Hansel we have us a problem " "what sister what is wrong." "Monster down the road looked like a dragon hybrid " " did you put the stuff down " yes Hansel " "where safe then" Hansel ended the cover with a sigh and started to work on his writing again as Gretel closed the shutters and Windows.

"AH! Just the scaly fiend I was hoping to run into," Phillip grinned, his teeth all becoming sharp like daggers, "Charming as ever I see. Sorry, but you'll have to deal with the demons before you can get to the Duck."

The demons surround the once-upon-a-time Prince Charles and they started to... change. Taller, grotesque, stronger, they all started to glow different colors. Fire, steel, water, ice, wind, rock, metal, earth... They all had elemental powers and they all have very nice long sharp demonic swords. Perfect to slice into Dragon.
