Ajax lives a mundane life.
Then, one day, he meets North.
And, it seems they are starting to fall in love.
The problem is that only Ajax can see North.
A supernatural boy's love story.
All throughout the day, his dream bothered the prince. He could not get it out of his head. The image of the dragon's head sculptured in a big block of stone was calling him. It haunted his very soul.
Prince North wanted answers. However, he did not know who ask. He was afraid that the king and the king's court would think that some ridiculous dream should be not fluster him. He was also afraid others might think he was losing his mind.
As fate would have it, his best friend made a visit to the palace of the Vatr, the very same day.
"My Lord," The esquire said. "High General of the Forest clan, Oisin, wishes to have an audience with you."
The esquire escorted North to the garden of the Nymphaeaceae.
"Leave us be," North said to his esquire.
"You were not in the festival last night."
"You know me. I hate such gatherings." North said. "What brings you here so sudden?"
"We've been friends since we were children." Oisin began to say. "And, you know about my ..." Oisin looked around first before he said the word in a low voice, "gift."
"Yes. And, I absolutely believe in your gift." North replied. "For, it saved me on two occasions, in the past."
"Right." Oisin said.
However, it seemed that he was hesitating and North could sense it.
"Oisin," North began to say. "We are like brothers. Whatever you need to say, you know that I will take it to my grave. Whatever prompted you to make your way to our kingdom means what you have to say to me is a matter of great importance."
"I'll just say it straight." Oisin said. "Are you ready?"
North nodded.
Oisin inhaled deeply. He closed his eyes and when he opened it, his eyes glowed like emeralds.
"In the deep heart of the castle there is a chamber. A chamber that holds great secret of the sea dragon. Blood of the prince must be offered for the sea dragon to open its heart where lies the truth about the prince's destiny - a stone of same birth and right."
Then,Oisin's eyes returned to as it was.
