When shall we three meet again?

"When shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning and in rain?" the Kat-Rita asked.
"When the hurly-burly's done," the Fritz-Rita said, smiling at her sisters, "when the battle's lost and won."
"That will be before the setting of the sun," the Kend-Rita assured them.
"Where's the place?"
"Upon the heath."
"There to meet Ceci-beth!"
The sly purr of a Kat could be heard.
"I come, grey Kat."
Committed to their deed the Ritas were now answering their Fritz-devils here on earth in animal form.
A toad croaked.
"My toad calls."
Finally the ominous hoot of an owl rang across this lifeless place.
"Coming, owl!"
Now drunk with the elixir of evil-Rita they huddled closer to their cauldron, united in cruel conspiracy, and together chanted to the Rita-devils of ill omen.
"Fair is foul, but foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air."
With this they vanished.
The three-Ritas escaped through a cloud of smoggy poluted air.

In comes Ceci-Beth:
"What a fine day." Ceci-Beth said."Who's that man?" she asked. "His wounds tell a sorry story."
"Father," Kaz-Rita said, "this is the sergeant who saved me from capture earlier."
Kaz-Rita called for the wounded soldier to be brought before the King. Kaz-Rita knelt beside the man and wiped his bloodied brow with a cloth.
"Tell us, good fritz, how is the battle going?"
"It was doubtful, my lord-Rita", the sergeant said.
He clutched his bloody body as he spoke. The King-Rita seeing his discomfort crouched closer to spare the wounded man any more strain. The court was silent, they were oblivious to the screams from the battle.

To be continued...

This story is golden! I can't wait to read what will happened to Kaz-Rita and Ceci-beth!

I miss you, RussianFritz! I was thinking about you on train and I wanted to cry because I missed you so much.

But remember, we weird sisters are always united by the unseen forces of R.
