5On the eve of the eldest princess's birthday, a banished Sea Witch harbored enough strength to break out of her ancient prision. Powerful, insane, and murderous in her intentions, she slaughtered the royal merfamily. However, after a twist of fate, one of the princesses manages to escape, ending up in the Kingdom of Kherim. There, Literature/TheLittleMermaid meets Literature/LittleRedRidingHood, who, by helping the distressed princess, was inflicted with a curse. The story thickens when the Sea Witch's monsters begin to attack Kherim. In retaliation, the crown prince formed a brigade of thirteen with two main purposes: to eliminate this threat, and save Little Red Riding Hood's life before it is too late.
