1 01 Waking Up

In the dark, he ran for his life. Panting and crying nonstop, hoping they wouldn't catch them. It was a nightmare. One that he couldn't never wake up from.

His guards had made him runway and used all they had to defend from the attackers. His guard told him to run to the passage and he'll be safe.

Hiding in one of the corridors, he peeped out behind the huge vase that covered his small frame and hoped no one followed him. Hugging the baby in his arms, he felt that this was the only warmth he'll get.

'We have to escape! We have to run!'

Bang!Bang!Bang! It was the sound of thing items being broken. You could even hear the faint clashing of metal swords and powerful burst of magic.

He flinched at the sound and muffled his cry. He couldn't let them know where he is. He was so close! He's almost at the passage! Please a little more!

'Mother... Father...Please help me...'

His tears started to rolled down he cheeks and fall on the baby he carried in his arms. Looking down, he saw the innocent eyes staring at him. Bright and full of light.

Light. He needed that right now.

Wiping his tears harshly he listened a bit longer until the sound disappeared. Moving from one corridor to another he soon made his way to a painting.

A family painting. His family painting...

He quickly infused his magic into it and soon the painting opened wide enough for him to pass through.

Crash! "He's here! Don't let him escape!" A voice yelled and startled him.

Panicking he ran into the passage and closed it shut! Scared he ran down the maze like passage and hoped no one followed him in. Anxious he fled like his life depended on it!

"Hic! Demi! I'm scared!" He whispered to the baby in teardrops, as he ran away.

Gently caressing the baby's head, he spoke to her in a tired voice, "I'm a prince, yet here I am running away from my duties..."

Looking around he soon came upon a door and pushed it open before slamming it back closed and blocking it way.

Walking around he took in his surroundings. 'Where am I? A library?' The little prince wondered seeing the many floors and soon came upon a green vine door near the back of the library's first floor. It was the most suspicious thing in the whole library.

"Should I open it?" He faintly said and glanced back at the baby he put down on one of the seats.

Holding his pendent, he gently casted a spell across the whole room. Soon enough the temperature dropped and ice started to form all around. He made sure it stayed away from the baby, as he slowly in cased the entrance he entered with ice.

'That will keep us safe for awhile' he thought.

He turned back to the door and pushed it open and in a instant he froze. Walking in he noticed the huge room filled with all sorts of plants and flowers. But what brought his attention was the figure in the middle.

The woman was currently sleeping on a flower bed and had her sliver hair fell to the side. She had a white dress on and her face was as if an angel had arrived.

He paused for a while before going closer to the lady. He wanted to see if she's alive and so he slowly took steps towards her. One at a time.

Just as he was about to shake her awake the women opened her eyes and at stared at he, scared he ran away.

"Uwahhh!!" He screamed when he felt that he was no longer touching the ground.

He eyes widened and he panicked when he was the air. Looking at the lady, who woken up he was surprised. Her eyes... they were blue.

But what was more surprised was that the woman was the one who used magic on him.

"A child?" She said and chuckled at the boy who was making so many expressions.

"Young lad, how'd you end up down here? I'm pretty sure I told them not to bother me when I'm recovering." She said with a smile and with the flick of her wrist the boy slowly float towards her.

"Umm, I..." the prince wanted to explain when he suddenly remembered the baby he left outside the room.

"Umm, can you please let me down...I left me baby sister outside.." the prince said and the lady looked at him with surprise.

"Oh My! How could you leave a child outside?!" She scolded him and soon enough they both flew into the air and headed towards the door and entered the library.

The lady looked around and spotted a baby wrapped in a royal purple blanket and also had many pillows around her in case she fell.

Snapping her fingers her magic stopped, which made the little prince that was floating in air fall right on his bum. Hissing in pain, he looked at the lady and then towards the baby.

Startled he quickly rushed to the baby and protected her in his arms, as he worriedly casted a glance at the silver hair lady.

Chuckling at the boys antics, she snapped her fingers once again changing the clothes she wore. Now she was in a deep blue robe that had sleeves that stopped right near her shoulder. She also had a same matching colour hat and put that on.

Looking at the boy she smiled, " Young lad, I don't know who you are, mind telling me? I don't hurt trust me" and gave another reassuring smile.

The little prince, was first amazed by the magic and then put on a hesitant face. He didn't know her, but for some reason he felt like he could trust her.

"I'm from the Elf Kingdom Crescentia, first born prince, Keiran Crescentia" the boy said.

He looked at the woman's shocked face and then saw her smile at him.

"Oh My! Now that's a surprise! To think I would see you again after so many years! Look at how old you've gotten!" The woman said and it dumbfounded him.

Saw him? What? He was lost as he looked at the lady giggling away.

"Oh My! What an introduction! It would be ashamed if a I didn't introduced myself." She smile at him, "I am Witch Princess, Angelica Sliver. You may call me God-Mother!!" With sparkles in her eyes.

She slowly made her way to the two kids and gave them a hug. Ahh!! She felt so happy after seeing her best friends children!! They looked so cute!! Especially the boy and his cute glare!

Keiran: "....." he really didn't know what was going on at this point.
