Day 4: There is a trail of color only you can see that marks out where your soulmate has been.

Logan couldn't believe his eyes. He had finally done it. He had finally created a portal to another dimension, another universe.

He stared at the swirling door of light nestled inside the five giant home-made Tesla coils, not even noticing he was crying until one of his tears tickled his neck before falling on his garage floor.

Logan decided to let himself take in the beauty of what he had finally managed to create after years and years of work and study, before rushing to get a pre-prepared backpack from its hiding spot. It had everything he may need for at least a week, even going as far as having a whole different outfit appropriate for extreme weather conditions, other than a first aid kit and a taser, just in case the place he was going was more dangerous than expected.

Logan grabbed his phone, making sure its battery was at a 100%, and took a deep breath, putting the charger in his bag next to the power bank. He had no idea how long that thing would stay open but he didn't care. He had to know what was on the other side of that thing, he had spent way too many years of his life working on it. He had lost way too many friends and way too many occasions to just... throw it away.

He didn't even give a second look at his surroundings before crossing the portal with his eyes tightly shut.

There was a shift of the air around him, his hair getting blowed off his face by a sudden gush of wind, the sun shining on him heating his skin up. Slowly he opened his eyes up, peeping through his eyelids.

His expression turned immediately into one of surprise as he looked around at what looked like an enchanted forest; the spots of light filtering from foliage reflected on the trunk of the trees towering over Logan, almost making the spots look like liquid silver, a waterfall not too far away provided humidity, the sound of running water perfectly harmonizing with the chirping of birds hiding in the branches.

The young scientist exhaled slowly, letting out a small 'woah' without even realizing it, as he let his eyes run across the place, squinting at the weird golden spots that mixed with the sunlight almost creating a- suddenly his eyes widened in surprise and intrigue, realizing what he was seeing were actual footsteps and not just spots of golden light.

Adjusting his tie and shirt quickly, Logan decided to make an impulsive decision and started following the trail, a notebook and a pen in his hands as he quickly jotted notes down. He wanted to know everything he could about this place; not that he really had a choice considering that he very well might not be coming back any time soon if the portal were to close.

"Your highness, are you sure we should stop here? This clearing doesn't provide any coverage like, at all."

"Virgil, how many times I have to tell you? Call me Janus. I haven't been a royal in three years now, and you wouldn't go and call anyone 'your highness' now, would you?" The prince said rolling his eyes at who was once his royal advisor, making him shook his head with a small smirk.

"Once a royal, always a royal, J. You might not consider yourself one anymore, but that doesn't erase who you are, a-"

"The Soulmate-less Prince. Yeah. I have no idea why I would want to stop considering myself a royalty. It's not like not having a soulmate is bad enough without being under the public eye, not at all." He said, through clenched teeth.

That shut the dark boy up, his eyes trained to the ground in a sad expression as he felt the ex-prince glare at him.

Most people, if not everyone, around the world, knew the story of the Soulmate-less Prince, the boy grown up with people telling him it didn't matter how uncomfortable his yellow almost snake-like eyes made people, because he would soon meet his soulmate, someone who would love him unconditionally. The boy who spend his whole life having not even his parents look at him in the eyes, too uncomfortable to do so, and who waited for his 18nth birthday with the same impatience of a kid who waits for the Christmas morning to come so that they can open their presents. The boy who travelled the world using their modern day technology for an entire year, just to find no trace of his soulmate, because it didn't exist.
