Beau and the beast[Boyxboy] [[ON HOLD]]

The prophecy

It rained hard outside, pelting so harsh that the screams of the flushed lady were swallowed by the noise of the raindrops as they harshly collided with the roof of the house.

Maids of all sorts rushed around, running to get this and that as another older woman shouted orders at them. It was chaos in the huge room. Beside the screaming woman stood a man, strikingly handsome and tall, he was gripping the hands of the lady giving birth in his trembling ones, silently praying to the Gods that this painful process he was witnessing would be over soon.

As the man prayed in his heart, shutting out the screams of his soul mate with his eyes shut tightly. He heard it, a soft screeching tiny voice and his eyes opened, tears evident and clear in his green eyes.

The room fell silent, the only source of noise being the pants escaping the sweaty beautiful lady as her body relaxed, the pain subsiding lightly and her eyes fixed on the bundle of limps that were curled in the grasp of the older lady's hands.

Both the man and woman were happy, you could tell from the amount of tears that flowed freely down their faces and mostly on the blinding smiles that were arched on the bottom of their faces.

Happiness filled the eyes of the spectators as they witnessed the birth of their prince, the son of the king and 'Queen' of Valharia.

"It's a boy" The trembling voice of the older lady broke the silence as she stated the obvious just for fun of tradition and everyone smiled or chuckled lightly.

The mother's face was red and moist, her body weak but the look in her eyes was energetic and bright as she reached her shaking arms out to the older lady in anticipation and then slowly and carefully the newborn was placed in the arms of it's mother.

The woman nursed the baby in her arms perfectly as though it wasn't her first time giving birth but it just came to you naturally. The tiny kid purred, his nose scrunching lightly as he snuggled into his mother's body warmth, enjoying it while it lasted.

Just like that, in the midst of all happiness, the huge doors that led to the queen's chambers were snapped open, the harsh noise making everyone flinch, arousing a shriek from the baby and snapping the king out of the reverie he was enchanted in.

In the doorway stood the real Queen of Valharia, beloved wife of the king, mother of the throne prince and beside her floated the most powerful sorcereress of Valharia.

Even though the doors didn't go outside, still the brightness in the room dimmed, thunder rumbled in the sky, wind swooshed and lightening could be seen so everyone stood breath held as the sorcereress floated forward towards the baby. 

The mother of the prince tried hiding the baby but it was to no avail, the baby's body lifted itself and floated in the air until it lay in front of the sorcereress.

The sorcereress's clothes were rags, torn and shabby rags but she smelled like the sweetest thing ever maybe that's why the baby smiled up at her and even though the sorcereress's face was covered with a see-through black cloth, the witnesses could see outline of a smile on her face which arouse a snarl on the queen's face who still stood in the doorway silently but fuming inside.

The sorcereress lifted her bony finger up and traced it down the kids face and hair. Hair as white as snow appeared on the baby's head making everyone in the tense room even the king gasp.

The sorcereress continued to caress the kids face and shortly his eyes that were tightly shut opened, slowly as the lids fluttered everyone felt the tension the sorcererress was emitting and everyone's breath was held.

The moment the eyes of the baby were opened, the sorcereress gasped, jumping away from the baby, the suprise making her lose hold on the energy that held the baby up.

Everyone gasped as they saw the baby's body fall from space but in a blink of an eye the baby was being lifted up again and the sorcereress gasped loudly this time, her body shaking as she shook her head repeatedly muttering silent words to her self.

The exhausted mother fought with her body and lifted her tense body and carried her baby back to her arms silently nodding at the sorcereress as a thanks for saving her baby from falling but what she didn't know was that it wasn't the sorcereress doing.

The baby had protected himself.

Once the baby was back in his mother's arms , he snuggled into her warmth and then their eyes met for the first time and this time the mother gasped too.

The baby's eyes were a clear color, colorless like water, no veins, no iris, just plain colorless but then he blinked once and his eyes were a pure golden color.

"No. No. Noooo" The sorcereress finally screamed and everyone looked at her disoriented figure as she paced across the room  no longer floating but walking instead and muttering a thousand NO(s) to herself.

"The Hamali" She screamed and everyone gasped, even the queen's mouth fell wide open as though she couldn't believe the news.

"On a belated day, blood of power and royalty will bring evil to Valharia and on that day, it will be the beginning of the destruction of the Valharia" The sorcereress said the words but her mouth wasn't moving, her mouth was shut as her mind talked, telling everyone in kingdom, waking up those who were sleeping, translating the message for the animals and young children to understand and lastly the image of the newborn prince appeared in the eyes of every and each one of a being that was laying on the Valharia soil.

Just like that the eyes of the birth witnesses that were filled with happiness, adoration and kindness looked at the newborn as if he was filth.

The young mother hugged her baby tightly to herself, she knew what this meant but she couldn't believe it so she lifted her teary eyes to look into the eyes of her soul mate and she chocked out a sob as she saw the doubt in her lover's eyes. She saw the reflection of herself and her baby in her lover's eyes for the first and last time and just like that she shut her eyes tightly, concentrating hard and then she was gone.

Everyone in the room gasped and the queen's first orders were heard as she screamed in frustration.

"Find the mother and the baby. I want them both dead. Now" She bellowed.

The king stood there disoriented and confused but when the queen ran into his arms, he hugged her back and everything else. He forgot.
