by Jokul Frosti

After moving to the country with his mother to live with his stepfather, Roxas is led to an old labyrinth where he meets a prince who claims he is the lost prince of the Underworld. Rated for violence and slight gore, "Pan's Labyrinth" based.

1. Prologue

This is my first TerVen focus story~! Yays!

Ven: Oh dear god.

Terra: I don't understand this plan at all.

This story is based off the movie Pan's Labyrinth or as it's called in Spanish, El Laberinto del Fauno. I've had it for a while but never really watched it until around last month, a video KatherintheGreat19 made for YouTube made me want to watch it. As intense as it is, I love it! I also couldn't help the idea I came up with~! *evil laugh*

So without further ado, I own nothing. Please enjoy.

A long time ago, in a kingdom in the realm of the Underworld, there was a young prince. He was young, adventurous, and very beautiful. When he was old enough, a prince from another kingdom came seeking his hand in marriage, and the young prince accepted as he found his courter very kind, and quite charming. They fell in love quickly. During the time before their wedding, the young prince heard stories from his fiancé of the human world which resided above their realm, and it fascinated the boy.

He was entranced by the tales of gentle breezes, warm sunlight, blue skies, and starlit nights. He wanted to visit such a world himself, but it was difficult as he was constantly watched and such a thing was forbidden.

So one day, after he said goodnight to his fiancé, he managed to escape from the eyes of his keepers and ran for the portal which led to the world above his home. He promised himself he would only take one look, to stay no longer than a day then he would return to tell his father and fiancé of what he saw. But when he reached to world under the sky he was blinded by the sunlight, his memories of who he was and where he came from, all he knew and cared for, his entire past was washed away.

His body experienced cold and sickness, he felt things his underworld home didn't have. Eventually, he died from it all.

The king was saddened, as were all who knew and loved the prince, so he opened portals all over the world in hopes that his son would return, in another time, in another place, in another body. The boy's fiancé used a magical book to tell him which portal the prince would appear at so that he could be there to greet him again. The king and the prince promised to wait until their last breaths, until the world stopped turning and time no longer existed.

And that's the prologue~!

Terra: You're doing too much at once.

I get board okay! Review please~!
