There's a crown above your head that weighs too much and there's a man inside my mind that tells me to get the job done. We both leave for our duty, pay for our sins, but child only one of us will see the sun setting in the east.

Darkness.
Shadows.
Salty tears.
Fire.
There's fire everywhere. There's red everywhere. A soft red that would remind someone a fire. Someone else-a pessimistic who sees no art in the world-will see blood. The realists will see a fire that leaves only ashes and blood behind. To which category did Adrianne belong? That she did not know. What she did know was the way the flames twirl and how death smells. What she did know was the way of hot tears burning frozen cheeks and how the shadows lure in the darkness.
"All your fears are fake,"a capturing sweet voice whispers. Adrianne knows she's dreaming because her eyes are closed but even the realization that nothing is in the room with her can not make her heart beat any slower."only one fear is real, little princess."
She desperately tries to wake up from her slumber but her entire body is numb. She feels a sudden weight in her chest and the hard bed of her room now seems like a black hole. She's sinking. Suddenly, there's a very cold hand on her shoulder and the voice speaks again,"Fear your shadow.', she wakes up in cold sweat almost falling out of bed as she raises the upper half of her body.
"Are you okay?"there's a small childish voice coming from near her asking about her well-being so slowly and clearly as if they had rehearsed for weeks. Adrianne turns her gaze away from the end of her bed to the source of the voice. For a brief moment, she forgets where she is and extends her hand to grab her Controller. Of course, the wooden stick isn't by her side since Rhodia is a planet of peace and equality."Can I offer you anything?"
"No."she says rather rudely before grabbing one of the pills James had left her. Suddenly, the Rhodian child with light blue-and maybe two or three purple spots-skin and brownish hair is transformed in her eyes. Now he's just a kid with royal clothes, white skin and brown hair. He reminds her of the queen.
"What is your name?"the boy continues speaking very carefully.
"It's late,"she ignores him"I need some sleep."
"It's morning actually."the boy states in a rather cocky tone that also reminds Adrianne of the queen. He cleared his throat and took a graceful bow"I am prince Lecter of Rhodia. The future king, the Chosen One, the rightful he--"
"Isn't every prince the Chosen One until he dies?"
"Yes, but I could still be the real Chosen One."he stated proudly.
"I see, well, since I'm obviously not going to sleep. I'm Adrianne."
"Nice to meet you."the boy grinned before taking a small green book from his pocket"You're an antropogolis right?"
