The Broken Rule:

The New Rules (Chapter 5)

After some minutes Cygnus pushes Paris away and stands up. He looks at the mirror, which is now black. He sees his reflection, as he looks at him, he mumbles something. Paris stands up and asks him: "What did you say, Cygnus?" "Weak. I am weak." His cold light blue eyes turn to a burnt sienna. "Cygnus, you are-" Paris gets interrupted as Cygnus fills up with rage, which makes his powers thousand times stronger. Therefore he manages to shatter the mirror in hundred pieces as he punches it. Paris immediately gets on her knees and picks up the shards in disbelieve. "W-what? How how is it possible!? I- I can't fix it." Paris eyes turn in a lavender shade, but she quickly snaps out of it and stands up. She growls as she slaps Cygnus and screams at him: "You dumb fool, don't you realize what you did!? You destroyed our only chances to ever visit this dimension. And because of your stupid act to use your irresponsible powers I can't fix the mirror." "Oh of course it is my fault. You should have never let me see this and why do you even care!?" Cygnus screams with a cold look on his face back to Paris. "Oh why do I care? Because it is my job to fix you now and also I am not heartless, things hurt me too and I want to see your happy version, but obviously you destroyed your happy version right now." Cygnus opens his mouth in disbelieve. "Also i never wanted to show you this, don't forget that you forced me to show you this. And I even warned you before I showed you this, but of course you didn't listen, because the King of War never listens to anyone." Paris points her finger at Cygnus chest and pushes him against a wall. As they both lock eyes Cygnus starts to calm down and apologizes: "I am sorry." 

Paris turns around and starts to go to the doors. Cygnus follows her. As Cygnus tries to leave the kingdom, he gets thrown back. "What the hell is this? Why can't I leave?" his anger comes back. "Ugh Cygnus did you forget what I told you?" he turns around, only to see Paris sitting on her enormous thrown. She crossed her legs and sits with grace. Her arms are on one of her leg. From Cygnus view he could admire her whole beauty. The sun is shining right on to her face. He can see her lovely pink eyes, her magnificent brown hair and especially her gorgeous body. For one moment he even forgot his boiling anger, but he snapped out of it, when Paris said: "Cygnus, did you hear me?" "What? Oh yes yes I heard you." "Then repeat what I said!" she glares at him with a sharp gaze. "I ehm okay I didn't listen, are you happy now?" The Queen roles her eyes and repeats herself: "You are stuck with me until you solve your problem with your past. Until that moment you will always get back to me, because my magic won't let you leave. So get comfy, King of War, because there is no escape." Cygnus growls and tries to run but always gets pushed back to Paris again. This is delightful to Paris as her eyes turn yellow. Cygnus gets even more furious as he hears Paris' giggles. "Why are you laughing at me? Do you really want to be stuck with me?" he shouts at her. Paris shakes her head and stretches her arms. "We both have no choice, so why don't you try to do the best out of it?" Cygnus finally gives up and goes to Paris.

 He sits down right in front of Paris and asks: "Soo what are we going to do now? Obviously there is no way of fighting against it, when my magic is weaker than your stupid magic." "Aww don't be pissed. It is not like this is going to kill you. But there are some rules. Please try to listen to them and not break them. This would make it way easier for both of us."  "I won't promise anything." Cygnus rolls his eyes and looks away. "So the rules are simple:

First rule: no trying to run away. It is useless as you saw it the ten times as you tried it. 

Second rule: you will listen to me and follow everything I order you to do.

Third rule: No Wars. You will try to not destroy anything in my kingdom or in any other kingdoms.

These are the big three rules that you will always follow. Did you understand, Cygnus?" "Yes, I understand." he growls while looking mad out of the window to see a beautiful garden. "Do you like the garden, Cygnus?" "Hmm oh yes, the garden has always good memories for me." "Do you want to tell me one?" "Hmm okay, but don't laugh at me.

It was a sunny day,me and my mother went outside to play in their garden. I have always run away, followed either a bee or a butterfly, because I had the wish to fly one day, too like them. I can still remember how my mother called for my name and I ran back to her. I didn't want her to worry. She had the most amazing smile as she got on her knees to hug me. She always made sure that I would be safe and even if she could read minds, she always asked me what I was thinking in that moment. She exactly knew what I was thinking, but she wanted me to learn to talk to people and not always read their minds. As I told her my dream to fly one day like the bees or the butterflies, she put me on her back and said: "Fly my little bee, one day you will fly without my help, but right now your mommy bee needs to help you." we played like this everyday in the garden, even if she had work to do, she always put my dreams before her dreams. She was the best mother a child could have ever imagined and what did I do? I took her life, I am such a bad son. I not only took her life, but I also destroyed her whole work and brought War to everybody instead of peace like she wanted. I miss you mother." 

He breaks down in tears again and Paris gets on her knees right in front of him. She puts her hand on his check and looks him in the eyes. She wishes his tears away and speaks with a soft voice: "Cygnus, you were a child. You didn't kill her, it was an accident. You didn't know that this would happen, you wanted to make your mother happy with the chocolate. I am sure your mother wouldn't hate or blame you, so stop blaming yourself, please. Yes you did bring War to every kingdom, but it is not to late to change it. You may destroyed her work, but everybody gets a second chance. I am to hundred percent sure that your mother would still be proud of you and tell you that you are a good son, but made mistakes like every human." Cygnus hugs Paris and whispers: "Thank you!" "Oh and Cygnus, your mother will always stay by your side. I am sure she is your guardian angel." Paris puts her hand on Cygnus' chest. They stay in this moment until both fall asleep, hugging each other.
