The night was in its apex. It was shining brightly above the stars, and below to the beings of the earth. On such occasions a celebration is to be held. A celebration of only the most prestigious of men and woman. On this such occasion, three sisters decided they were of such nobility. Wearing clothing that they were offered, hand made, they were the real guests of honor.
After changing a few names around, they became the hostesses of this event. Everyone would listen to them, and only them thanks to a few... Influential words. This was what they loved in this world they were forced to call home. Controlling the weak, everyone was weak in this world; beneath them. It was a lot easier than it was back home. But that's where the joy ended. The challenge was gone, and as such: the fun. They bored easy, so to compensate, they turn against each other as a source of amusement.
One such siren felt the need for a little... silent sabotage. A little wardrobe malfunction to help spice up the night
Aria Blaze.
It was a few hours before the party was to begin, which means a few hours for preparation. The main issue was finding a pair of scissors that could cut cloth, but it wasn't a large one. After locating said scissors, she went over her plan.
Once her sister was distracted, which was fairly common, she would sneak behind and cut open a small slot around the backside as to reveal a few areas. Knowing her sister, Sonata, she'd be surprised if she noticed someone jamming a knife in her spine.

The party had begun, and everyone was enjoying themselves. Well, by that I meant everyone was under their spell and goggling over them as if they were gods, still at least they were enjoying themselves.
Aria's target was currently amusing herself with a jello mold. Poking and prodding the thing; watching as it jiggled too and fro, fro and too. Kinda like she was poking a dead animal with a stick.
'Too easy,' Aria thought with a devilish grin.
Approaching her target quietly, she went to work. A simple cut out was all that she needed. She made sure to do this delicately, one slip up, and it will be ruined. Swift fingers and deft hands made this procedure quick and efficient. As an added bonus, the hole was a perfect square. Quickly hiding the offending tool in her dress, she sat and waited for the chain reaction.
The best part was: there was none. At first Sonata continue to saunter by, the guests watching in quiet shock as her behind was revealed. Only something very shocking had the capability of breaking their spell, even for just a few minutes. No one commented, no one told her. 'Excuse me, ma'am, but it appears your buttocks is showing,' she was purely oblivious.
It took Aria every fiber of her being not to burst into laughter.
"Does anyone feel a draft?" Sonata had asked. Standing upright when her lower body had started to feel very cold.
The suspense that kept everyone in silence was broken as waves of laughter now filled the air. Although unprofessional, they just couldn't hold it in anymore. At first, Sonata was confused. Why was everyone laughing? More specifically: why was everyone laughing at her? Unbeknownst to her, she just assumed everyone was just being rude.
"Well that is just cheeky!" she commented, crossing her arms and puffing her cheeks
That only seemed seemed to fan the fires. Realizing where everyone was pointing at, she started to turn to see what was wrong with her butt. She didn't get a good enough view, so she began to spin in circles to try to see what had caught everyone's' interest. Grabbing hold of her dress, she lifted it so she could get a good enough view of the offending hole. She was shocked, who could have committed such a horrid act?
"Oh, Sonata, my dear, dumb, sister, you had the appearance of a canine attempting to grab its tail," Aria said, picking herself off the floor and approaching the blue haired siren.
"You did this?" she asked; shocked.
"That I did, and it was the highlight of this eve, wouldn't you say?" Aria said; an evil grin on her face.
Sonata suddenly latched a fist under her sister's collar, pulling her close to her face. The fire behind her eyes were growing in fierce intensity.
"I do not say! You have awoken something, Ari! Something fierce, something righteous! Just remember as you sleep tonight, dear sister." she spat. "Momma don't play to be even... Momma plays to win!" she pulled her sister close enough to the point there foreheads clashed.
"Just what in Tartarus is going on in here!?" a voice screamed from the hall. Adagio walked in shortly, followed behind by several men who were vying for her attention.
Sonata threw Aria back.
She stumbled backwards a short distance before regaining her balance, every fiber of her being telling her not to rip off Sonata's head.
Sonata was now turning to face the crowd.
"Listen her, and memorize, puny mortals! For you shall remember these words when your eyes are to close for the rest of time! It was Aria Blaze who fired the first shot! But it shall be Sonata Dusk, who fires the last!" she announced, holding up a fist into the air.
"Ugh!" Adagio groaned as she placed a palm to her face. "Sorry boys, but I must leave momentarily," Adagio said as she waved off her new followers, they were already tamed, so they did as they were told. "girls? Could we speak for just a second?" she asked.
As Adagio led her two sisters out of the room, the two simply stared at each other with pure malice. They followed their eldest sister to the ballroom which was now deserted once she announced for their subjects to leave. She turned to her sisters with a mad glare. "Now could you two please explain to me what that was all about?"
"She started it!"
"She started it!"
They both said this in unison; pointing to each other.
"I don't care who started it, I'm ending it! Listen here, we barely got enough energy from this, so save whatever blood-feud you two sarted for after this party, because I don't know about you but I haven't had a night like this in a long time, and I am not going to have it ruined by you two idiots!" she growled. "Deal?"
"Deal..."
"Deal..."
During this time, their spell began to wear off and the guests began to come to their senses. That had to change now.
'This isn't over, Aria. My vengeance may have been stopped for now, but remember my words.' Sonata thought as they placed everyone once more under their spell. The green in their eyes returning as the raw power of their voice placed their minds into the deepest parts of their psyche.
'I don't care if it will be years, decades, generations, even! No matter what, I will have my revenge!'
