Muses of Music

The Muses of Music are characters from Barbie & The Diamond Castle. They take care of the Diamond Castle, the birth place of music, and live in it.

Story
The three original Muses were Dori, Phaedra and Lydia. They all played different kinds of music, were friends, and had an apprentice named Melody. However, Lydia wanted to be the only Muse. Dori and Phaedra believed that music was for everyone, and Lydia vowed to get the Diamond Castle for herself.

Lydia found an ancient cave filled with dark magic and transformed her instrument, a flute, into an instrument of dark magic. She also found a servant, a serpent named Slyder, and went back to the Diamond Castle to take over it. Dori and Phaedra hid the Diamond Castle and gave Melody the key in case anything bad happened to them. Lydia turned Dori, Phaedra, and Glimmer the flying horse into stone.

Slyder came after Melody and so she hid in a peasant's mirror, but she dropped her instrument, which was a whistle. Slyder broke it and Melody became trapped in the mirror.

Two heart shaped stones fell off of the Diamond Castle, and into a river. Liana and Alexa found them and put them on. When they fought Lydia, her dark magic couldn't affect them because they had made the stones into necklaces. Melody unlocked the Diamond Castle and gave Dori and Phaedra their instruments, a harp and a guitar. They also sang "Believe". The music in Liana and Alexa's hearts song defeated Lydia by turning her into stone.

Dori and Phaedra crowned Liana and Alexa as Princesses of Music. They also made Melody into a true Muse, because she had proven her worth, and she replaced Lydia as the third Muse. She also got a new whistle. Melody offered rooms in the Diamond Castle to Liana and Alexa, but they wanted to go home. Dori and Phaedra gave them magic seeds for their garden instead.

Trivia

 * In Greek mythology, the Greek Gods Zeus and Mnemosyne had nine daughters called the Muses. They were the personifications of knowledge and arts, especially literature, dance and music. The outfits of the Muses Dori, Phaedra and Melody are Grecian inspired. There are also pegasuses living in the Diamond Castle with the Muses, and pegasuses also come from Greek mythology.
