The Square was lit up with Lanterns and the two kingdoms all danced together in celebration of their new found freedom. Kurapika leans against the snack and drink table laughing at his drunk comrades doing stupid tasks, he shakes his head in amusement while taking a sip from his drink. Leorio stands beside him grabbing a couple of mini food from behind them. "How come you aren't dancing?" Leorio asks. Kurapika glances at Leorio and shrugs indifferently. "Chrollo is quickly gathering the last of his spies." Leorio raises an eyebrow before smirking, he chuckles. Kurapika immediately seems to flare, he folds his arms and looks at Leorio in question. "What's so funny?" Leorio shrugs a teasing smile on his lips. "I just never took you for a man who can't seem to have fun without their significant other." Kurapika practically slams the cup down, enraged by the discreet accusation of him being a dependent man. "You take that back Leorio."

Leorio pushes off the table and holds out his hand for Kurapika to take. "Prove me wrong and I might just consider it." Kurapika scoffs but seems to be failing at hiding a smile as he takes Leorio's hand and joins the dance floor just as the music changes. Gon smiles at them on the dance floor before turning to Killua who is currently stuffing his face with food. Gon chuckles before smirking. "Care to dance Snow?" Killua blushes and wipes his mouth before clearing his throat, he smiles at Gon. "Thought you would never ask, Charming." Gon leads them onto the dance floor. They dance to the upbeat beautiful song being played by the band. The mood vibrant and happy amongst the crowd. Not a single person was not having fun, even King Ging was present at the celebration. He watched proudly as his son danced with his future husband. A distant memory of him dancing with his dear Kate. Kate was someone who was very fond of dancing, she would practically force her husband to dance, even at the randomest of times. Ging smiles at the memories coming to mind "Come on Mito, we can't let the young lads and ladies have all the fun." Mito chuckles and nods in agreement before they take to the dance floor.

Chrollo was currently in his room in the castle ordering all his little spies to retreat. His eyes narrow when one seems to take longer to return then the others, he connects with the bird, his eyes glowing back. He gasps at what he sees. "Ratulinirace at once" ~Return at Once~ His little spy chirps in response and flies with speed to return home. Meanwhile Chrollo sprints through the castle halls, trying to get to the square as fast as he possibly can. "Sieklier liertu square ekce neekceem, waraekcesa netu there sieklier liertu wave frde neze eraliceem" ~With the square in mind, bring me there with the wave of my hand~ Chrollo appears in the middle of the square surprising many of the people there. His eyes scan the crowd, making a silent tch noise seeing Leorio dipping Kurapika. But that's not important right now. Besides Kurapika is his future, he will be with him til the day he dies, he has nothing to be concerned about. Chrollo swiftly stops the music. "What gives?" A drunk Zushi hollers from the floor where he was attempting the worm. "Council, Troupe, Curses and Royalty. Follow me to the war room at once." Chrollo glances around once more. "Where are the curses?"

Everyone seems to be in war mode now. "They already departed. What's this about?" Killua asks promptly. Chrollo looks at the civilians and shakes his head. "Not here." The Council, Troupe and Royalty swiftly make their way to the war room after informing the villagers they may continue the festivities without them. Once they make it to the war room, no one wastes time. "Okay speak Chrollo." Gon states.

"As you know I was calling for all my spies to return to me, one caught something in their sights on their way back." Chrollo starts as he places his hands on the table. His whole demeanor seems to have darkened. After all the Dark curse was a troubled part of the witches history. One most good sorcerers wish to forget. "Let me guess, Pitou and Retz?" Kurapika says seeming more annoyed then anything. Those witches are way too resilient. Chrollo nods. "They were working on a curse, an old one." Chrollo says just above a whisper.

"An old spell? Please that should be childs play. It means there are already counter spells made for it." Ging states with finality.

Chrollo chuckles, but the laughter is filled with anything but humour. "With all due respect your highness, that is a naive thought. This curse won't be that easy." Chrollo clenches his hands around the rim of the table. "The Dark curse." All the witches present in the room seem terrified at the thought. Their eyes wide. Their atmosphere changing to the tense and darkened one Chrollo currently wears. "Hate to sound dull-witted but what is the big deal of this curse?" Leorio asks.

Killua whispers in response but everyone can hear him loud and clear, as the piece of history is told. A legend that leaves a scar on witch kind. "Regina, or as many of you might know her, the Evil Queen was the first to successfully release this curse. It's a curse with no mercy." Kurapika continues the story. "Its essentially a curse that wipes your memory, but not in a normal manner. It strips you of your identity." Bisky looks through the window at the night sky, she whispers almost absentmindedly, "It reinvents you, we wouldn't know each other as we do now. We also wouldn't be aware of our powers or statuses."

Chrollo sighs before speaking. "It will transport us to a new world. The only way to break the curse is true loves kiss. But the curse will keep those who love each other away from each other by any means necessary. They could be married to another, in a coma, you name it. The curses strength is beyond any other. We could try to make a plan, but we wouldn't remember it, only those who cast the curse will remember this reality. And the curse is almost done."

The room falls silent as the non witches take on the new piece of information. Mito nods in understanding. "Alright. First and foremost we should probably warn the kingdom. Chrollo how far out would you say the curse is?"

"Its got about half a day before it descends upon us." Mito nods again. The silence deafening. "Is there really nothing we can do?" Leorio whispers. Kurapika places a comforting hand on Leorio's shoulder as he shakes his head. "Once it's in motion we can't stop it." One by one the members in the war room leave, everyone seeming succumb to their thoughts. Many of them still trying to think of ways to possibly stop the curse, even though they know it's pointless. But what more can be done? They can't just sit still and do nothing. Pointlessly thinking on the curse felt more productive to most of them. Mito makes her way to the celebration disheartened that she has to be the bearer of more terrible news. But she feels they have the right to know.

"I should probably send my spy out again, to keep tabs on the spell." Chrollo mutters when all that's left is Gon, Killua, Kurapika and Leorio. Kurapika shakes his head. "Don't waste your time surveilling the curse." Chrollo clenches his fists and kisses Kurapika briefly on the lips, Leorio looking away immediately. "I have to do something. Come to my room later, we can spend the night together." Kurapika nods and gently grabs Chrollo's hand and squeezes it gently before their hands seem to slowly disconnect, Chrollo leaving the room after sending Kurapika another brief smile.

"So we might not be friends in this new life huh?" Leorio whispers after the war room door closes. Gon places his hand on Leorio's shoulder as they all look out the window. "Different world or not, deep down we would know we are friends." Gon responds without hestitation. Kurapika gives a light chuckle. "Yeah nothing is going to stop this connection. Pretty sure not even the curse would be able to stop the sex crazed bunnies either." Kurapika smirks as Killua blushes and smacks Kurapika's shoulder and Gon's as well, because he simply wheezes in response to Kurapika's quick-witted comment.

"Gon its midnight, why are we currently going through your maze garden?" Killua asks, his voice groggy since Gon woke him up like an excited puppy. Gon just shushed him instead of responding. Killua glares at the back of Gon's head. Once they make it to the secret garden. Gon lightly touches the carvings on the tree, his eyes sparkling as he looks at Killua. Killua's heart rate seems to pick up at it's own accord. Gon chuckles breathily. "I forgot to mention one other special thing about this place. A tradition of sorts." He whispers.

Killua blinks. "And you saw fit to tell me this at midnight?" Gon bites on his lip and nods, while scratching the back of his head. "Yes, I mean if we only have a few hours left, I figured you should know this." Killua nods in understanding.

"The tradition is simple really. I always found it tedious really, but given the circumstances, It seems fitting. One would always propose in this garden." Gon whispers softly. Killua can't help but fiddle with his hands as he gulps. Is this really happening? Gon tears up. "I figured since you wouldn't remember me in a few hours, I would like those last hours to be memorable." Killua releases a shuddering breath as Gon gets on one knee. "Killua Zoldyck, I have loved you the moment my axe killed that forsaken one behind you and instead of yelling at me like most people would, you thanked me." Gon chuckles at the thought. Killua chuckling as well as tears pool at his eyes. He can practically hear his heart at the base of his ear drums. "You had my heart that moment and you have kept it and you will never lose it. You are the love of my life, my soulmate. I can't imagine my life without you, that's why I will be grateful for simply knowing you in this new found world we will find ourselves in and I vow right now I will stop at nothing to get you to fall in love with me. No matter what world or timeline we are in. You and I will always be one. I know I will always find you. Because you are my Snow White. So Snow will you do me the honour of marrying me?"

Killua sobs out a chuckle before nodding his head aggressively. "Yes! Yes you stupid Charming man!" Gon chuckles as he places the ring on Killua's finger. "Leave it to you to insult me while saying yes." Killua chuckles before dropping to his knees beside Gon. "Shut up." Killua states while smiling before locking his lips with Gon's. Gon responds immediately, his hands gripping Killua's waist tugging him closer. They kissed like it was their last night alive. In a way it was.
