The prince shook nervously, standing at the entrance of their castle, preparing to greet guests. His mother and father stood beside him prepped and proud. The remaining maids in the room scurried to their places before the doors opened. George rolled his eyes and tugged on his outfit to create some sort of way to relax himself from the tightness of the collar.

The room silenced as the butler's pulled open the large castle doors; one by one, royals came strolling into the castle, greeting the fellow king and queen. The fake smile plastered on the prince face started to make him ache in pain. A snobby looking princess walked up to the brunette with a face full of make-up.

"Hey~" She giggled, "I'm Mia!". George begged for the day to be over with, yet things have just started. The princess babbled on and on about herself and how she thought her being with the prince would be great. After all, she was an ice elemental.

"If only this earth can open up and swallow me to take me anywhere but here-"

It felt like hours whenever Mia would talk, a billion dreadful hours. Her blonde hair would sway behind her, and it seemed like the dust on the floor would be more interesting than listening to her boasting about her life. George drowned out her voice and just kept nodding along. Suddenly, he was whisked away by his arm. He panicked, but it quickly subsided and shifted to annoyance once he saw his mother. He was dragged across the ball room; quickly seeing his father with another princess with long black braids of hair with rose tinted skin. She frowned at the sight of me but quickly put on a solemn smile.

"George! This is Valerie Evergreen, the princess from the Vereuque Kingdom." His father chirped proudly, "Even though she's from a small kingdom, her mark makes her very well known!" His mother grabbed the princess's arm to flash her mark of thunder.

Both him and the princess grimaced as they looked at each other with pleading eyes, unsure of what they even wanted. Suddenly, he felt dazed, the tingling sensation came back; his wrists glowed brighter and brighter each second. The prince shuffled around, hiding his wrist the best he could. His wrist felt like it was on fire, burning and ripping at his flesh. His veins pulsed as he sucked in a sharp breath; sweat pooled at his forehead as his parents continued chatting with the princess.

The air shifted; George's heart beat repeatedly. The prince's ears were pounding he felt like a fire was burning within his whole body, his mother began to notice and lightly shook him; it made his body buzz in shock as the aura around felt menacing...

Wide-eye's stare at the grand palace door's.

Gasps and murmurs we're tickling at George's ear.

The air stilled.

A person stood at the entrance, the dying bodies of the castle soldiers layed on the ground, unmoving.

Fear.

The one thing that overcame every single person's body at that moment. They couldn't move. They couldn't breathe. They just stood still, afraid of even flinching.

Suddenly, the person lunged at the nearest person they could grab, panic rose and royal's pathetically backed away as a shrill scream was released from the woman the person grabbed. She was manhandled around while trying to defend herself with her wind manipulation abilities to forecefully push the person back; shock buzzed through her as the person stayed latched onto her.

A sudden voice boomed. It was grating and dark; laced with malice.

" I demand to know where the king and queen are."

The crowd cowered, the voice that seemed to come from the man who pinned the girl turned his head to look at the crowd; some people gawked at the luminous green eyes that stared them down. The crowd scanned for the castle guards yet were taken aback when they all seemingly passed out. The other ministers and royals backed away from the king and queen; including George. George was too caught up attempting to hide his immensely glowing wrist. His parents took a stand, watching his father with a furious glare.

"Why do you wish to speak to me." The king responded, holding his hand ready to strike the trespasser with a thunder bolt. An inhumane growl came from the person; the woman they previously held were pushed away, making the woman skid across the floor.

"I'd stand down if I were you, for you have no mind of what I am capable of."

The stranger reached out to pull down the hood that covered their face; bright, deadly eyes stared directly at the king. George finally could see the mans face, well, half of it. A mask leeched on the man's lower area of their face. Dirty blond strands of hair above the mans head.

George could faintly hear the king cursing under his breath; stumbling back, the king tried to keep calm. "You need to leave. Now, "Unfazed the man retorted, "I don't think I'll be doing that, yet.". George's wrist started to throb in unbearable pain. He groaned under his breath as he decided to try and distract himself.

But instead, he softly gasped, a buzz struck through his entire body when he locked eyes with the man. The intruder seemed to get their breath caught in their throat aswell. George saw the man's eyes sparkle in an idea brewing up. "How about I take something from you since you took something from me." The king shivered and quickly thought of a response.

"And what could someone like you possibly want."

George noticed the tone his father used in his sentence, 'Did he know this man?'. The brunette had a million thoughts roaming around his mind. The king suddenly spoke, making George snap out of his thoughts. "I mean- it'll probably some gold or money since you're a pathetic poor boy."-But everyone let out a small gasps at the man's answer. George's eyes widened at the trespassers request.

"I want to take your son."
