   
You step into a great hall. You immediately see 4 people staring before you.
"We are the four Hellbound Sisters." they say in complete sync.
You have to admit, it's a little creepy. Then the sisters start talking again.
"Come, stand before us, Sylestian Resident, stand before us."
They all have different tones. The high voice of the water and air sister blends with the deep voices of the earth and fire sisters and creates a menacing tone. You decide, though, to press onward, and walk towards the sisters.
"Come, stand before us, Sylestian Resident, stand before us." It's the same as they said last time, but louder and more... commanding. It's almost as their voice draws you in.
"Come, stand before us, Sylestian Resident, stand before us."
Then the sisters speak one at a time.
"Come, Sylestian..." the Earth sister says in a deep, choked voice.
"Come, we shall not harm you..." the Water sisters says, in a high, strangled voice.
"We have a gift..." the Air sister says, in a high, piercing voice.
"Sylestian, come, and you shall not regret..." the Fire sister says in a deep, echoing voice.
It's as if you have no choice. It's as if their voices are pulling you in, one by one.
Before you know it, you are standing at the feet of the Sisters.
"I," the Earth sister says, "am Notriulda..."
"I am Avietta..." the Water sister says.
"I go by the name of Starquilla..." the Air sister says.
"And I, the eldest, go by Satana..." the Fire sister says.
Finally, you pluck up the courage to speak.
"Alright... Notriulda, Avietta, Starquilla and Satana... um, I was told there were Sylesti."
"There are..." they say, once more, in sync, "in your mind..."
"Once we access it, of course..." Satana says to you. "Sisters? What do you think of this one..."
"I think so..." Starquilla says firmly.
"I am not so sure, Satana. This one is... not worthy of what's inside..." replies Notriulda.
"Well I am sure, it seems hopeful. Give it a chance, Satana and Notriulda, if you don't we could be bound to these chains forever... Avietta?" Starquilla replies harshly to Notriulda, addressing Avietta to speak. It seems they have forgotten you were there.
"I... I agree with Avietta I think we should at least try..."
"Then it is decided. You, young Sylestian, you have the honor of entering the forbidden city of Rajneputh. You may pick five pets to take with you on your journeys away from here. There is no catch. But, I shall inform you of this..." at this, the sisters started singing a ghostly tune along to Satana's story...
"Once, we worked for an evil man, and his name we shall not say, it is too harmful to us, but for the time being, we shall call him Jatniti. Jatniti was an evil man, and he searched for our powers. For years we evaded him, but we eventually got captured. We were made to look into people's minds, put on shows and do manual labor, and all because Jatini wanted money. So one day, on our 1000th day in his powerful, cheating hands, we decided to make him pay. We turned his army against him, and he almost perished in the fight. We managed to escape, but he returned even more powerful than before. You see, when we cat the finishing bow, the power from our pets and staffs combined, and hit him with a terrible, magical force. The only trouble was..."
"He had stolen a potion from us," Avietta continued the story, "he stole a potion that removed the effects of any negative spell cast at him. You see, he did not expect for the battle to hold this long, so the effects of the potion started wearing off."
"The effects," Starquilla kept with the story, "had almost worn off from him. The effects were strong enough to deflect most of the damage, but he absorbed some, and got hit by some. The spell he absorbed made him strong, and he managed..."
"To catch us," Notriulda. "And he put us here. He told us if we were to accumulate 500k gold for him to grow his army with, he would let us go. And he swore on a magical promise. You need to help us male 500k gold, or else..."
"He will destroy us." Satana finished. "Will you help?"
You think about it. You really want to get some pets and help the sisters, but...
"Alright," you say. "I'll help."
"Thanks you." Satana says. she, with the help of her sisters, open up a large portal. You step inside and wave to them.
"Thank you..." are their final words as your world turns black.
