Prince Landon Nox

I could barely keep myself in check as I glanced over at him. He stood out on the deck looking towards the horizon as his dark blue hair fluttered softly around his face. It was like that day at the castle all over again; I could feel my heart skipping a beat in my chest. I could still remember as if it were yesterday. Mandy had arrived on a floating cloud, one I'd only seen Casters use to get around, and being my usual curious self, I went to investigate. There was a commoner on castle grounds, and I wanted to see the face of the commoner who was so bold to step foot on Royal Family grounds.

As soon as they landed, I'd planned to tell him off, but as soon as those eyes met mine, it was as if time stopped. In all my fifty years of life, I'd seen many, many beautiful people and had had my fair share of both men and women, but there was something different about the cute little elf. He made my heart speed up in my chest, my lungs felt like they were being squeezed as my body temperature had risen so much that I could feel the tips of my ears turning red. Had I been touching water, I was sure I would have produced steam.

He was the single most beautiful being that I'd ever seen in my life. His wide, dark blue eyes reminded me of the sky when the sun was just barely starting to rise. His hair looked so soft and all I wanted to do was run my fingers through it. His skin was like porcelain, beautiful and white, untainted. He was so small, and I knew that he would fit perfectly into my arms. That oval on his forehead only made me want to kiss him all the more. His small pink lips, his cute button nose, that cute blush that never seemed to leave his cheeks and those long ears that were just as red as his cheeks, he reminded me of a doll.

We had just met and I knew that if I let him get away, I'd never see him again. If he disappeared, all I'd be left with was this intense feeling and a memory. I wanted more of him, I needed more of him. I had become addicted.

After he left, he plagued my mind like a deadly disease. From dawn until dusk, he was there. Everywhere I went, I found myself looking for him in everyone I saw; just about everything reminded me of him. He was everywhere, and there was no getting rid of him.

It was when I saw him again at the beach did I know what I'd been feeling all that time. I had fallen madly in love with the cute little elf. I immediately began to deny that possibility. I was Prince Landon Nox, next in line to inherit the throne of the Nox Kingdom. People longed after me, people fell for me, not the other way around! I didn't fall in love and I never longed for anything!

I had convinced myself that what I was feeling wasn't love. It was merely an attraction, and If I had him for just one night, these pesky feelings would go away and I'd be able to move on with my life. Just one time.

That day, I'd made the worst and stupidest mistake of my entire life. I hurt Arlen and drove him away from me. It wasn't until he was gone did I finally accept what I was feeling. I was in love, and I'd officially screwed up and threw away the first and only love of my life. When he left, I was a mess. At first, I was angry. Arlen was the first person to disrespect me and tell me the cold hard truth of myself. Meeting him made me realize that I truly was a selfish, pampered bastard who thought the entire world and everyone in it was mine for the taking. How could someone like me even dream of being with Arlen? As I was, I wasn't worthy of him.

Watching him run away from him was the worst pain I'd ever experienced in my life. I felt like my insides were being ripped apart. The further he got away from me, the more it hurt. It was then that I vowed to change. I would do anything for him to come back. I wanted him more than I've ever wanted anything in my life, and I was determined.

Seeing him again was like a breath of fresh air. I was drowning in a sea of sadness and finally, finally, I'd reached the surface to catch my breath as soon as our eyes met. Even though he yelled at me and dumped mud on my head, I was still so happy, but also guilty because I'd hurt him more than I realized.

Coming on this trip was an impulsive decision I'd made, and I knew I was the last person Arlen wanted to see, but there was no way in hell I'd let him slip away from me again.

I would use this trip to make up with him.
