Chapter 1: Ira's plight.

It was a good day in the castle, the foretellers had just received their masks made by the master. Each of their reactions were slightly different.

"Master, why was I given a bear mask?" Aced asked, "Not that I am complaining but I just want to know why."

"It's simple" The master explained out loud so the other five could hear, "You are very head-strong, but strong none the less"

Aced opened his mouth but decided against questioning the master's odd reasoning.

Gula simply shrugged and put it on, indifferent about what he got.

Ava picked up her mask and put it on asking "How do I look?"

The master chuckled "Like a pup."

Ava was unsure what to make of that response so she just let Invi get her's next. She picked it up and sent a questioning look at the master.

"Your slippery and very sneaky, but in a good way" he commented

Ira was last and as he approached his new mask he froze. He as expecting something like a lion or maybe a dragon, but instead it was a unicorn. A UNICORN?! His mind was reeling with questions. Why a unicorn? Why give it to him when this animal was clearly more fitted to be with someone like Ava? However, having been with the master for years, he learned not to question his choices and he put on his mask.

He got up with all the determination of a leader and walked bravely while the other foretellers were trying to contain their laughter.

"There must be a reason he did this, but I should not question the master." Ira thought.

Meanwhile the master was thinking to himself as well, "He actually put on the mask! Luxu now owes me 100 munny. Better tell Ira that this was all a prank and give him his real mask."

The master stopped "Or I could ride this out for as long as I can. This is going to be quite fun."
