Through the mirror

『 Six 』 『 (6) 』

It was dark in the castle. The cooks had just begun making dinner, the cleaners were cleaning (no duh -_-) and Keonhee, Hwanwoong, Leedo, Xion, Ravn and Thorn were hiding inside the closet of Seoho's room.

"Keohee you're elbowing my eye!" Xion whisper yelled.

"That's not my elbow dumbass"

"Then whose elbow is it?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"That's not important right now!"

"Of course it is! There might be a ghost in this closet!"

"Keonhee there isn't a ghost in the closet"

"You don't know that"

"Keonhee might be right considering the fact that we are in Seoho's closet"

"How long does it take one to get a bowl of strawberries"

"Keep in mind that this is Seoho"

"Everyone stfu rn he's coming in."

The six royals had been waiting for Seoho's to enter his room, to reveal where his mirror was. The said prince had walked into his room with a bowl of strawberries and immediately knew something was wrong.

"Is someone in here?" he said as he walked over to his bathroom to check for anyone.

"We should make a run for it while we still have the chance" sighed hwanwoong

"He's right, who knows what he'll do if he catches us"

"Leedo and Hwanwoong might be right, Thorn."

"I'm aware that they are right, I just want Keonhee to suffer"

"Why do you hate me so much?" Keonhee dramatically asked. Little did the other royals know, he was actually upset thinking they disliked him.

"I don't hate you Keonhee" Thorn said being the only one to actually notice there was a bit of truth behind his question "It's just that-" The princess didn't get to finish her statement because the closet door had been flung wide open.

"Ouch" groaned Xion who had somehow managed to land under all the royals.

"Sorry Xion" the royals said together.

"Why are you guys hiding in my closet?" Seoho said, staring down at them.

"Well you see" began Leedo "It's a long story"

"Lucky for you I have time to hear it" Seoho said as he sat on his bed waiting for Leedo to begin his obviously made up story.

"So what happened was that we were in the kitchen and then...." he began to spiral into a tremendously long story on how the main chef of the house, Felix, had said he was a better cook than Seoho. So Leedo, wanting to defend his 'fellow prince's cooking' decided to challenge him to a cooking contest. It had taken them hours to prepare the 'cook off' and they were finally done, Leedo decided that maybe Seoho's cooking wasn't worthy to be defended after all. Felix had apparently been annoyed that he had been made to prepare everything only for Leedo to back out of the competition.

The royals slowly got distracted as Leedo's story had made no sense. It didn't help that he often side tracked onto a different detail which caused him to forget what he was talking about and restart. It had taken about an hour for Leedo to end his story, but by the time he was done. All the royals had been asleep. Once he had confirmed that they were all asleep, he began to search through Seoho's room for the mirror.

He was about to give up when he noticed a hidden compartment under Seoho's bed. He pushed the bed aside and tried to open it but ended up unsuccessful. He went over to the royals and woke them all up, except Seoho.

"I WAS LISTENING TO THE STORY!" yelled Xion as he woke up.

"Shh!" they all shushed him.

"Sorry!" he whispered.

"Leedo did you find anything" the only female in the room asked.

"There's a compartment under his bed but I can't open it."

"Did you think of using your magical strength?" questioned Hwanwoong.

"Yes" he sighed "Come and look at it maybe one of you will figure it out"

They all walked over to the compartment in the centre of the room. "It has the symbols of our kingdoms on it," pointed out Keonhee.

"No shit sherlock" muttered Xion under his breath only to get a smack on his head from Keonhee.

"Whatever we need to do to open it, most likely requires Hwanwoong to rewind time," Ravn stated.

"How come?" asked the princess

"Well, Seoho is the prince of Illusions therefore meaning that whatever he does to open it requires an illusion. If we do something and Hwanwoong rewinds the time, it's sort of like whatever we did never happened...."

"In other words an illusion" Thorn gasped "Smart thinking Ravn" she complimented the prince, who had slowly turned a bright shade of pink.

"No problem"

"So, we know Hwanwoong needs to rewind time in order for this to work but what do the rest of us need to do?"

"Maybe use our powers on it?" suggested Leedo.

"Yea but in what order?"

"Well, since we're rewinding time maybe in the reverse order from who came to the palace."

"So who got here first." Thorn asked. The boy's looked towards each other and said.

"FLASH BACK TIME"

It had been about 4 years since all the Kingdoms had separated. The World of Twilight had used to be a peaceful place where you could find people of different races hanging around each other. The 8 Kings and 1 Queen that had ruled over Twilight were so very close with each other. Sadly, it had all come crashing down when one of the rulers had wanted to gain more power than all the other Kingdoms.

"I CANNOT ALLOW THIS" he slammed his hand down on the table. "OUR KINGDOM'S HAVE LIVED IN PEACE FOR DECADES. YET SUDDENLY, DUE TO YOUR SUDDEN THIRST FOR POWER, YOU WANT TO DESTROY WHAT US AND PAST RULERS HAVE BEEN BUILDING FOR YEARS."

"Calm down Minho"

"I REFUSE TO JEONGIN- "

"Minho try to see this from my point of view-"

"I HAVE!" the King sighed "And I still think you're making a dumb decision."

"Before shutting this idea down Min-"

"And it's Minho HYUNG to you"

"Before shutting this idea down Minho hyung, we should at least consult a meeting with the others."

"Whatever. Just know that things won't be the same between us after this." Minho muttered as he left the younger King's office.

"And even if the others don't agree" Jeongin said while turning his chair to look at the window that gave him a view of the Kingdom. "It's not like I'll listen to them anyways."
