The Spirit Princes

Yume Mirai

It's my day of judgement.... I knew it would happen one day but... I didn't expect it to come so quickly. My twentieth birthday was a few months ago, I will finally have the chance to meet my fated spirit. Will it be a he? Or she? I'm so nervous I don't care! I will finally have someone to talk to, *sigh* to live with, to share with. Ahh! I'm so excited! 

it was then that a woman walks through what seems to be a gateway to heaven, tall black doors with the inscriptions of the story 'The Goddesses gift' it has a detailed drawing of the goddess and spirits giving magic to the humans down below. the woman halts in front of the door and calls out "miss Mirai" oh my God, that's me, it's finally my turn, I sit up and follow the attendant, i walk through the intimidating doors, and see what heaven must look like, it was filled with the elements of our land, the sky was filled Night and day and the ground filled with life.

The attendant guided me onto a short podium, I continue to admire the surroundings until the room got dark, the view had faded, I searched for the beauty that once filled my eyes. Until balls of light, diverse in colour, surrounded me. One blue, one White, one Green, one red, a hidden black. with ten colours in total, the colours surrounded me, they drew closer, i flinched without escape, the lights blinded me until a large commotion awoke me into reality. The attendant walked in with shock on he face, I was scared and confused, where was my spirit? Royal guards from the human king barged in and told me to follow, I obliged. 

They took me to see the king himself, he was standing in front of his throne watching my judgement, did i do something wrong?? questions filled my mind, until i finally gathered the courage to ask him, "what happened?" he walked down to me, he was a very kind looking man and his rumours did him favours, he took me by the arm and guided me to a chair at a nearby table. 

"you are known as yume, correct? mirai yume." behind his kind smile was obviously concern. I hesitantly nodded in agreement. He told me the story of the gift. As he was the king i silently listened, "you know that a human can be chosen by more than one spirit correct?" confused, i answered him "yes i have heard stories of one person having three! its quite amazing, really" his expression grew lighter, "and you also know that this year the goddess has declared that a prince from each kingdom will choice their partner, right?" puzzled by his question, I nodded, "this is really amazing, but, each prince has chosen you. you are the first person in history with this feat!." stunned by his explanation i couldn't say a word, after processing what the king himself had just told me, i realised. "TEN SPIRITS?? how is that even possible?? do i even have enough magic for that?" the king calmly replied, "each spirit has its own needs, desired and goals, they chose you for a reason. during everyones judgement we test how much a person can sustain a spirit for, you on the other hand have almost unlimited ability! you don't have anything to worry about." did i really have that much power? wait... this isn't the time to be distracted by flattery, "i cant live with 10 guys! and i cant afford the house or food!" the kings face became dull... did i say something wrong? "yume, how much have you studied for this day?" i felt guilty, and it probably showed on my face as the king sighed and explained "each partnership share a home together, in most cases alike yours where you have a wealthy spirit, the spirits family will pay for most expenses, but in your unique case because of the quantity and how they are all royalty, you'll probably not have to take care of them." even if they are royalty, its bad to let them just pay.. i sat there quietly as the king was continuing his duty of overseeing of the judgement. i headed out of the throne room, i was then escorted to my new home, my first thought was, HUGE! it was amazing that it could be built in such short notice.

i walked to the front door, the escort gave me my keys and informed me of the house structure,

i walked into my new home...
