The Legendary Prince: Junior Years {On Going}

Aftermath

Shortly after Xander's death, many kingdoms started to be destroyed by the Nightmare kingdom. Some survived, some didn't. Because of this, Grace elementary school and Hope School have been suspended for a week.

Xavier

Things will never be the same without Xander...My mother has been crying for nearly every night, while my father hasn't eaten properly for many days. I miss him, my big brother who was always with me whenever I slept. That bunk bed of ours will always have an empty space from that day onwards. At least school isn't open yet for me to go there alone...

I am currently occupied with my duty as an Ecaprio T. leader of the North. It isn't easy at all. The Ecaprios are always hungry, so I have to constantly check them. My energy is always drained because of them.

I checked the clinic and Wizard Shimura is now awake, though he still can't move freely. He looked at me and said, "Prince Xavier, is your brother alive?"

I gulped hard and replied, "No, he's in the Spirit Kingdom now."

His eyes saddened quickly. "I am sorry for your family's lost," He whispered, "If I just had done m-"
I waved my left hand at him. "No, it's not your fault."
There was silence.

I broke it by saying, "You aren't fully healed, but can you walk?"
He replied, "I think so."
He got up slowly and balanced himself. When he started to walk, I noticed he walked slowly.

"Do you need help, Wizard Shimura?"
"No, I can walk by myself."
He used his staff to aid him. We went to a nearby bench in the clinic and sat there.
"How's your parents, Prince Xavier?"
I replied, "Not well. They are having a hard time like me."
There was silence again. I looked at the nurse who was preparing medicine for a patient.
"Prince Xavier," I looked at him, "You're colder than usual."

I didn't notice he held my left hand. I gently yanked it from his grasp.
"I've been an Ecaprio T. leader for some time now."
"Ok, but are you getting enough sleep?"
I shook my head. He continued, "Is it because of being an Ecaprio T. leader?"
I nodded and then yawned.
"Wizard Shimura, can I sleep on your lap?"
He replied reluctantly, "Yes, you can, your highness."
I placed my head on his lap and saw him looking at me. "Are you sure you don't want to sleep in your bed?"
I replied, "No, this is fine."

I closed my eyes and let myself drift to sleep.
