     She walked towards the closet beside her bed and opened it. Majority of the space goes to the part where the clothes can be hung. On its right side where two drawers lined vertically and at the very bottom is a huge wide drawer. On one of the doors, a full body length mirror was attached, reminding her that she was still clad in her performance outfit. Right, she has to change her outfit after unpacking.

     Satisfied with the huge closet space, Cinnabar began her unpacking.

     After for what seemed like an hour, Cinnabar finally finished unpacking. She made sure that door of the bedroom was locked before changing into comfortable clothes. She changed into a pair of black shorts and a nude-colored loose long-sleeved blouse before dropping on her chosen bed.

     Somehow her body relaxes being in contact with the soft mattress. Once again, her mind was flooded with thoughts, thoughts about the situation she's in at the moment. She hovered her left hand above her face. She closed her palm and concentrated on making the fire appear when she opens her hand. Slowly, she opened her palm and fire immediately flickered abover her. Now wanting to test her abilities, she gently removed her hand from the floating flame and to her satisfaction, the flamed remained above her head. "Wow" she whispered in admiration as the fire danced above her due to the air.

     Again, she began doubting herself. Was this amazing power really for her? Is the crystal really sure about trusting her with ability of flame creation and control? How could a mere crystal entrust her with a very big responsibility when she can't trust herself with even the simplest things?

     Closing her palm, she clicked her tongue before sitting up. "Ahh, this won't do." She got off her bed and went out of her bedroom.

     If there was one thing she didn't like doing, it was overthinking. Gosh her mind can take her to places when she overthinks. In order to distract herself, she decided she'd go to the kitchen and maybe make herself some hot chocolate, her favorite drink.

     Once again, the huge hallway welcomed her sight. Cinnabar immediately went for the stairs and to the first floor she goes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, your highness herself, Princess Laveignia!" The people clapped their hands upon the announcement of her name. Once she appeared on the top of the flight of stairs, all of the people in the ball room bowed before her as she descends.

     As if in a movie, the scene immediately changed. The ballroom that was flooded with people of different tuxedos and gowns, was now almost empty and ruined. Cracks were visible on the floor. At the bottom of the stairs stood the young princess, a black cresent crystal glowing brightly on her forehead. Her orbs has turned to bloody pink color and her sclera turned black as well. She was staring at someone with so much anger.

     She was staring at a man with a black hood and an eyepatch.

     Yoongi shot up from his lying position, suddenly awake. His dream immediately registers itself in his mind.

     It took him seconds before recognizing the pale and young lady with short and wavy dark hair. "Princess Laveignia?!" He muttered in realization. The princess who appeared in her dreams was the daughter of the current ruler of his origin, Humelios. He glanced at the small calendar on his bedside table. It was the nineteenth of August. Thirteen days from now will be the said princess's birthday. Not only will it be her birthday, it was also going to be her coronation night.
