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.
The king of the Vatr asked his esquires to leave his chamber. As soon as the door was closed, the king threw a fit and broke the big mirror impaled on the wall with a wave of his hand.
"Foolish North!" The king said.
He looked at the window and saw the restless water of the Mystic Lake of Draconem that surrounded the palace.
"The tides are not in my favor," He said.
King L'Nykt knew about the rendezvous of his son with the prince of the Phoenix, Helios. For almost a week, the king had his son followed wherever the prince went.
Earlier that afternoon, inside the king's chamber.
"Any news about the prince?"
"The prince will rendezvous with Prince Helios at the moment when light and dark meet at the horizon in the forest at the backroad of the palace."
Said the man who was hiding behind the shadow.
"Will the prince of the Phoenix be alone at that time?"
"As far as I know, yes, my king."
"Good," King L'Nykt began to say. "The moment is drawing near. I want you to hide among the trees. I will give you the signal. You have to act fast in abducting the prince and bring him to the cave of the Toothless Dragon."
"Yes, my Lord." The man said.
"Before you go," The king said. "Come nigher."
The man left the shadow. It was Illac.
"Illac," The king said. "I will loan this to you."
The king showed him a stone - alexandrite. He placed the small stone on his palm and blew on it. The stone flew as if a bullet was fired from a gun. It hit Illac on the right chest just an inch above his nipple. Though, it was painful, Illac remained silent and still.
"It's a magical stone that can make you change your appearance." The king explained. "Before you abduct the prince, say 'itxura aldatzea' and your appearance will change. Say it again and you will return to your old self."
"Thank you, my Lord." Illac said as he bowed.
Illac stepped back into the shadow.
"Oh, Illac, one last thing."
"Yes, my king?"
"Betray me and that stone will end your life instantly."
"I understand, my Lord."
