Our story begins not long ago, in a small kingdom where everyone was happy...that wouldn't last long.

In this small kingdom, lived two queens, Queen Penelope and Queen Erin. The two queen believed love should be shared by everyone and no one should feel pressured to love someone else of the opposite sex. The two loving queens had one son, a beautiful boy named Michael.

Michael was raised to be kind to everyone he met, to never be rude, and to always fight for what he believe in. He loved his tiny little kingdom, and they loved their prince...but so did another.

In another kingdom not so far away, lived a king. This king was as evil as anyone could imagine keeping all his subject in the darkness and hurting them whenever he wanted. He was a tyrant...and he wanted a husband. He needed a Prince with a kingdom he can take over as well, he needed one that would be beautiful, so he can play with his new prince. He sent his minions to find such a prince if he even exists...and then he found him, Prince Michael. Sure this prince was "Nice" and "Kind" But all that spelt for this king was a prince that can't defend himself. Most princes would do whatever it takes to fight, but a prince like him? He won't stand a chance when his forces take him, and neither will his kingdom.

In the gardens of a sunny day, prince Michael strolled along the garden, just helping his subjects plant the new flowers.

"Your highness you really don't have to help!" A maid told him.

"Nonsense Zoe, I love to spend time in the gardens, and I enjoy spending time with people like you!" Michael told her sweetly.

Sneaking around the shadows of the castle, three of his minions looked around. One stopped at a corner while the other two argued behind him.

"Will you two shut it! You'll get us caught before we can snatch the prince!" He yelled quietly.

"Sorry Dustin, but tell that to "Her Royal pain in the ass" she said mockingly

"Oh shut up Madeline! At least I have a Royal lineage unlike you!"

"Chloe! Shut up! We are all going to be dead meat if we don't get that prince soon! So shut up and focus." Dustin scolded her. Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Fine... why don't we just snatch him already?! I'm bored and this kingdom is too happy and bright." Chloe said annoyed.

"Shut up. We are waiting for him to be shadow, if we don't then we risk being exposed and failing our master. You want to be the one to tell him why we couldn't get his groom to be, Chloe?" Dustin told her. She immediately told him no shaking her head. "Thought so, now let's go. The garden is in shadow." Dustin told her moving into the shadow of the gardens with Madeline and Chloe. They watched the prince, one bad move and he was theirs.

Michael could hear something in the garden, he looked around, catching Zoe's attention. "Everything ok your highness?"

"I...I thought I heard something..." Michael told her looking around. He walked around his garden to one of his favorite flowers, a light pink rose bush. He walked through the light shadow his garden was in to his flower bush, taking a rose from it smelling the flower sighing, he was always hoping to one day give his love a rose of the same hue. He looked at it wondering if he would ever find a love of his own... unaware of the three being closing in on him. Zoe finished planting flowers before looking to the prince seeing the three figures behind his back. She gasped in fright.

"Your highness look out!!" She screeched in fright. Michael looked to her in fear seeing the shadows leap onto him. He struggled against the grip of two female looking shadows that grabbed his arms while the male one came in front of him. Zoe ran out of the garden to get help.

"Hello your highness." He said with an evil grin.

"W-what is the meaning of this?!"

"Oh don't fret your highness, we are just taking a little trip to meet your future husband!" Chloe said.

"A trip to the kingdom of shadows! Dustin?" Madeline looked to him. Dustin snapped his fingers and a shadowy vortex appeared near them. Michael struggled trying to get away from them. Zoe came back to the gardens with two of the knights.

"HALT RELEASE THE PRINCE THIS INSTANT!" One yelled getting closer. Dustin smirked before blowing a dust into Michael's face causing him to become extremely drowsy. He turned to the two knights approaching him before nodding to Madeline and Chloe. The smiled dragging him to the vortex before all three of them disappeared, he smirked to the knights. "Too slow~" he laughed before disappearing into the vortex with it disappearing as well.

Michael was barely conscious enough to understand what was happening he was still trying to get loose but his struggling was weak. He was kneeling on the ground with the two girls holding his arms still they bowed to someone who walked in front of Michael before he could hear a deep laugh. "Hello your highness. I hope my minions were too harsh with you, but this was the only way we could be together." He lifted Michael's chin up so he could see the man in front of him smirking. "Welcome home your highness, we are going to be very happy together." He laughed as Michael fainted in their arms. "Take him to the north tower and make sure he can't escape. I don't want my groom to be leaving before the wedding~"

"Yes Master." The shadows replied taking Michael away to the tower. The shadow king smirked.

"Soon, he will be all mine, and under my command forever~" he said leaving to his quarters.
