⁉️ "Did I catch your attention?" ⚠️

If I did, can you tell me... who's voice is this? 🤭
What is this whisper tugging at your mind? 🤫
What is the CLAWING that SCRAPES again and again at your soul, threatening to PIERCE through the fine fragments of your very fragile existence. 🗣

 Could it be magic? 🔮

Could it be the same thing that is kept secret in high society? 👥 Could it be the power that turns Mikyla's life from Drow 🧝🏿‍♀️ to Noble 🧝🏻‍♂️, from girl 👧🏿 to boy 👦🏻, from poor to privileged? Could it be the thing that liberates her yet also the thing that binds her fate to a life of servitude?

Could it?

Could it be real?

My Prince (His Royal Magic Highness) by Michelle_Zeah
10 parts Complete
She went to her room and locked herself inside the room. She slowly sat down and started crying, ''why does this always happen to me?" she said while putting her fingers in hairs. "I hate myself," she said, crying. Just then she got up and grabbed her sharp nail trimmer "I will end this" she said and almost cut off her vein, when she heard a very strange whisper. "Hey don't young Lady killing yourself is a sin" she turned and the nail trimmer fell off her hand. "Who is it?" she said but the voice did not come back, she looked inside the mirror she brought from her deceased relative. She watched her eyes, it was like her own reflection was looking at her, just than she felt her green eyes turning to electric blue, she got startled, then she turned and walked towards her bed, "It's like I am having hallucinations, can't die properly even " she said to herself and went to her bed. ****** She got up late in the morning; she didn't want to go to school. She turned to the other side of her bed. Still eyes closed she looked for a pillow but instead her hand touched something very hard, it was like a human arm, the manly odor was surrounding, first she thought she was dreaming, She hold him softly and hugged him. He was snoring faintly. She opened her eyes instantly, it was some unknown man on her bed and he was sleeping peacefully beside her, she narrowed her eyes to confirm it was indeed what she was seeing, she got up a bit while putting pressure over her arm. His light brown hair were fallen over his forehead, His broad chest was moving up and down as he breaths, when she realized that it was not dream, she got up and screamed. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh". An ordinary love story? Think again.

Long ago, when the world was young and humanity struggled against the forces of chaos, the gods intervened. They forged a sword, not as a weapon of destruction, but as a gift of hope. Each god poured a fragment of their essence into it-courage, wisdom, resilience, and strength. It's a sword meant for everything possible. For centuries, the blade lay hidden, waiting for the right moment to be discovered. It wasn't buried in gold or locked away in a grand vault-it rested quietly in the heart of the earth, untouched and unseen, until the time was right. When the first hand grasped the hilt, the sword came alive. Its surface shimmered with an otherworldly glow, a promise of the power within. The one who found it didn't know the gods had shaped it, nor did they understand the weight of what they held. But the sword recognized them. It responded to their strength, their resolve, and their needs. As the blade cut through the darkness for the first time, it wasn't just its edge that brought change. It was the force behind it-the will to fight for survival, for something greater than fear. With every swing, the sword grew brighter, stronger, as if it fed not on blood but on purpose. Though the gods forged the blade, it wasn't theirs anymore. In that moment, it became part of humanity, a bond between the divine and mortal worlds. And for the one who wielded it, the sword was more than steel and magic-it was a companion, a guide, and a silent promise: you are not alone. Thus began the sword's journey, not just as a tool of battle, but as a symbol of what humanity could become. And though its path was just beginning, the gods knew it would go on, far beyond what even they could imagine. (this is my very first novel. I got my inspiration from a nail clipper)

In a world where strength is measured by the cycle of growth, each stage of an adventurer's journey is a reflection of nature's unyielding force. The first step begins with the smallest of starts, where raw potential is tempered by the hope of something more. You will face the wilderness, your first true test, where survival and courage are your only companions. With each challenge you overcome, you will begin to bloom-growing in skill and reputation-but beware, the world is not kind to those who flourish too quickly. Thorned paths await, where deadly truths are revealed, and the foes you face will test both body and soul. To rise above this, you must reach the heights of those who stand as beacons in a world of chaos, guiding others while facing stakes higher than life and death. Only then will you stand at the edge of something greater-where your strength can shift the tides of nations, and the world will know your name. But beware, for those who seek to go beyond the known limits, who climb too high, may find the path ahead is not one of power, but of ruin. Every step in this journey is a trial, a test of endurance, and a quest to understand the balance between growth and the inevitable price it demands.
