The Fae King and the Wizard Prince

*The Missing Prince*

"Where is my son?" The king asked the head magician.

"My king, we've been searching the whole castle for him, we have done several locator spells but none seem to work. I must admit, your son is really crafty and has a knack for finding counters for spells."

The king huffed, knowing his son, he must have gone somewhere far and would return once the day is over.

"At this point, it is useless to search for him. Call off the search, it will just be a waste of energy."

"But sire, are you not worried about your son's safety?" A soldier asked

"The one who needs to worry is the person who would dare cross the prince." The head magician said then laughed and the king laughed with him.

"My king, I love your son like my own and sometimes, I feel like hitting him on the head, but he's no longer a kid." The head magician told the king.

"But he is still your student Master Aeolous, I am giving you permission to hit him as many times as you need to." The king laughed.

Half a day has passed and Ben was thinking if he should go back to the castle. He has been carrying a totem he made that would negate any magic cast against him. He created it when he was 10, combining the concept of wards and projection, he came up with this tool. The downside is it only works for several hours until the charm breaks. He only have until midnight before a locator spell would work against him.

As a child, he has been fully aware of what he needs to do once he is old enough: to marry a fae. The identity of his husband has been kept from him and it is the same with his identity to the other. They will only meet before the actual wedding but would only see their faces after it.

But as the curious person that he is, he wanted to know who the other person is or at least what a fae looks like. So earlier that day, he set off to the Fae forest. He hasn't seen an actual fae aside from the paintings. Legend says that the faes real beauty can be seen during the night when they glow under the light of the full moon. He wanted to see one tonight, or if he is lucky enough, he might see his intended.

The deeper he went into the forest, the older the magic is, it seeps into his bones, nourishing him and making him more aware.

He then saw a clearing, it looks like there is nothing there, however, it hums with power. It sings to him, drawing him closer. He realized that this is where his wedding will happen, like all of the generations before.

He saw movement on the other side of the clearing and proceeded to cast an invisibility spell. Anticipation was building up within him until finally, he saw what he was searching for.
