'Life Changes; nothing is happy forever...and nothing is hard forever'
-Zane Ro'Meave~~~~~~~~
Mayla looked at a book she found in the library, a book about spells, trying to distract herself from the ball oncoming tonight.
'There are many spells a soul user can use. Many from each of the other users can be used. The spells listed below are what the soul users are known for:
Alteenta- spell of life/light

Flvoitus- spell of fire/flamesClarieo- spell of clear/cleansing
Supresrio- spell of healing
Mam-''Can you stop! I have a headache' the dark being snapped.
Mayla rolled her eyes and sat down on her bed in her new gown (thanks to the dark one), staring up at the ceiling.
Mayla smiled to herself.
'Everything's going my way' Mayla thought 'I found the lost princess, which happened to be my great grandmother, the king knows about what I'm going through, leading me reveal myself and then I can go home'
'Oh, at lest you can go home, I'm stuck in this form forever' Mayla heard the dark being say in her head.
Mayla's face turned to confusion.
"What do you mean?" Mayla asked out loud.
She heard the dark being sigh in her head.
'I was a mortal of your realm, just a simple girl' the dark being explained in her head 'I was kinda like you; kind, ambitions, head-strong...i knew what I wanted to be, I really wanted to continue to try and get women's rights because when I was alive as the movement grew"
Mayla sat up, intrigued in the story.
"What was your name?" Mayla asked.
"Sarah...don't call me that though" the dark being said and sighed "In 1900, when I was 19, so 118 earth years or roughly 6,427 Reflectron days ago, it was Halloween and for us, that was when the witches came out so we all hid at night...but that night I wanted to see if the blood moon predicted in the texts would come at the time it would..."The dark being stopped.
"...it did happen, but I was captured...by King Jefferson of the Reflectron realm...or the current king's father"
Mayla gasped."I was captured for soooo long" the dark being said "i had no idea where I was, all I knew that I was being 'experimented on' as I was a 'new breed of animal'...I was tortured for what seem like years..."
Mayla stood up, walking towards the covered mirror.
"...until one day they tried to make me one of them, since I wasn't 'pure' even though I had changed due to me being there for over one of their days...they put this poison in me and it changed me. I got out...not long after getting captured again"Mayla pulled the cover off of the mirror and noticed the reflection wasn't her's.
She was wearing the dress the dark being suggested; A graceful black dress flows from top to bottom and has a square neckline, which wonderfully reveals the ornate dress worn below it. The flowing, corset-like tied fabric of her dress covers her stomach where the continuous flow is broken up by a long cloth band worn quite high around her waist. Below the cloth band the dress opens up to the right and reveals the dress below. The front of the top dress is longer than the bottom dress and curves outwards, the back continues to flow a long length behind her and ends in a narrow curve.Her sleeves are very long and a little wide, their flow is broken up just below the elbow where they're divided by thick, luxurious bands, these are the same fabric and color used to outline the neckline of the dress.
Mayla's washed out brown hair which is in a high bun was now a dark black and her silver eyes were replaced with pale green eyes. It then turned to faded black hair with the ruby red eyes Mayla knows.
This is the dark being's appearance.
Not it- no her using Mayla's appearance.
It's her own.
Her human one changing into her twisted dark being one.
"I swore that I would get revenge" the reflection spoke back "And I'm going to keep my word"
"But it's none of the current royal's fault!" Mayla said "We can try to help you and get you home"
The dark being's face turned into a snarl.
"NO!" She snapped "Chidon did this to me as well!"
Mayla stared at her wide eyed.
The dark being pointed to a scar on her face; one that went from the left upper corner, just above her eye and crosses over to fade at her right cheek, crossing over her left eye and nose.
"He did this to me when he was 18" the dark being snarled "His father laughing over him...he tortured me for a while until it came to the time when his daughter, your great grandmother came in, i think she was 8 at the time. She was shocked by what was going on, she was the only person which cared and stopped the harming in total...the last time I saw her before now was when she came down and asked me about my realm, which I replied honestly. She was the one who went to Nani herself and begged him to go...but everyone blamed it on me and I got beaten again"
Mayla stared at her reflection shocked, mixed feeling going through her.
The dark being or Sarah smirked.
"You can't sweet talk yourself out of this one Mayla" the dark being said, leaving Mayla confused "It has only begun and I will get my revenge"
"But SAR-"
Mayla passed out before she finished her sentence, the dark being's laugh echoing her room.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The party was well underway below Mayla's room.
Chatting excited people overload the ballroom as they notice their missing princess walking around and greeting people.
"Have you seen Mayla?" The princess asked as she got to her father.
"I have not, have you not spoken to her?" The king asked in a hushed voice.
Eirela shook her head.
"No, I have not...I'm worried about you-know-what" Eirela stated "It would be the perfect time to-"
"My king...princess"
The royals look to see Lucas bowing at the two, making Eierla roll her eyes.
"You know us personally Lucas, you do not need to bow nor call us by that, you know that" Eierla said as Lucas came up.
"Quietie" Lucas exclaimed "May I ask you a question?"
"Of course" the king said.
"Do you know where Mayla would be?" Lucas asked.
Both royals looked at each other, which worried Lucas.
"What aren't you telling me?" Lucas demanded.
"I haven't seen her all afternoon, I wanted to leave her to her thoughts about tonight" Eierla explained "She should be here soon"
"Great!" Lucas said cheerfully and walked off, making Eirela roll her eyes."He's head over heals for her" Eierla said.
"I was just like that for your mother" the king said, making his daughter look at him with surprise "I was oblivious, but my mother used to always laugh at me"
Eierla smiled sadly.
"I miss her" Eierla admitted "But over the years I lived in the realm of a Million Colours I almost forgot who she was...and I was so angry with myself"
"You were 100 Million Colours years old" the king said "You would have bond to lose memories, you can't be hard on yourself"
Eierla sighed.
"I know" Eierla said."Your highness"
The royals turn to see Alicia, who was looking...a little over the top.
She looked like...the girl from Cinderella, Eierla thought to herself, Anastasia's the girl.
"Alicia" Eierla said, making Alicia glare at her for a second before smiling at the king like nothing happened.
"I was just wondering...if you wanted a drink?" She asked, getting closer to the king.
Eirela rolled her eyes as her granddaughter is trying to flirt with her great grandfather.
Eierla shuttered at that thought as the king smiled awkwardly.
"I will have one once the descendant of mine is here safely" the king said.
"Are you sure the descendant is real?" Alicia asked.
The king narrowed his eyes.
"Are you saying that my daughter is a lair?" The king demanded.
Alicia paled, cowarding at the king's glare.
"N-No, your highness just be warned that the descendant might not know of the land and try to attack you for the throne for power" Alicia tried to reason.
Eierla started to laugh, making Alicia glare at her.
"What's so funny?" Alicia snapped.
"I know the descendant and she wouldn't dare harm anyone for power" Eierla said.Suddenly the doors slammed open to reveal someone in a beautiful black dress.
But what shocked everyone was that the lady was wearing a purple mask, making everyone gasp.
The royals widen their eyes as the women came down to them, everyone moving out the way as the women made their way in front of the royals.
Eierla and the king looked at each other as the women bowed.
"Your highnesses, I have been summoned" the women said in a cold voice unrecognisable voice "Is it time to have my birthright?"
"Yes it is, my dear" the king said, taking the women's hand, only having it to be cold.
The women finally looked at them and they looked at each other alarmed.
Mayla's eyes were now red.
And that isn't a good sign for the royals nor the people in the ballroom at this current time.
As it seems the dark being has come out to play.
Eierla smiled as her father hesitates to kiss Mayla's now cold hand.
The dark one turned to Eierla and flashed her a smile as she bowed to her.
"Welcoming the next heir to the throne!" The king announced as the dark one stood in between them, making everyone in the room bow."How have you been?" Eierla asked her, seeing if the dark being would slip up or Mayla showed any conscious.
"It was a long journey but it was beneficial, thank you for giving me this opportunity" the dark being said, bowing, leaving both the royals and Lucas who had just ran up to talk to Mayla, confused.
"You're welcome" the king said, playing along.
"Y-Your highness, you're here!" Lucas said and bowed.
The dark being giggled, making Alicia grab Lucas sharply.
"Pay respects to the upcoming queen Lu-"
"It's okay" the dark being said "I know of young Lucas, and he knows me so he is able to talk to me in however way"
Alicia looked at Lucas with shock as Lucas put out his hand.
"May we dance?" Lucas asked.
The dark being smiled, acting like Mayla and took his hand.
"Of course" the dark being said and Lucas took her down to the dancers, who made a path for them watched as they started to dance.
Alicia, annoyed she hasn't gotten on the good side of another royal, stormed off to try and figure out how Lucas knew the new royal.
The royals watched Lucas as he danced with his mind controlled love.
"He doesn't seem to notice-"
"He does" Eierla said, interrupting her father "He knows about the dark being...and he didn't even flinch when he saw her eyes...my guess is he's going to try and get Mayla out of the dark being's control"
"It could cause a scene" the older royal said, looking at the two dancing happily.
Eierla smirked as Lucas whispered something into the dark one's ear.
"That's what he's planning.
