Queen of my Heart – Prophecy
The lady bowed before the king and queen. The queen held her new born son in her arms proudly looking at her subjects.
"My gift, your majesty is the future," the lady told them. "Your son is the one they speak of in the ancient prophecy."
"A prince shall rise above the rest searching for a love who leaves her heart open to the world. She shall be the one who will help him conquer the evils of the world. Without her he shall become the evil he could have sought out to destroy. It is only through her love that the world will be saved and only through her love will he find true happiness."
"Thank you," the queen replied cradeling the boy to her chest protectively. "is there anything you could tell us to make finding this girl easier?"
"Only that she has magical abilities and royal blood," the old woman told them as she bowed and walked away.
The boy awoke from his slumber. His mother smiled as he opened his amber eyes and sighed contently as he made himself comfortable and curled up in his mothers arms.
"One day you shall be king my son," the queen told him stroking his face. "For now you are still a little wolf and you will always be my little wolf."
"Thank you all for coming to show your respects," the King told his subjects. "He is my pride and joy and the future king. My son Prince Syaoran."
"So what shall we do?" Yelan asked her husband.
"I don't know," Kenji sighed.
"well we can't tell him," Yelan told him. "I don't want this kind of pressure on him. Yes he will look for her, but we won't tell him that his decision will impact the future of our world."
"I agree," Kenji nodded. "No one can tell him of his destiny."
~ Seventeen years later ~
Today was Syaoran's seventeenth birthday. He was about six feet tall with honey brown hair and amber eyes. He had a muscular physique after the many years of training he had done in martial arts and other contact sports as well as magic. He stared at their kingdom from the balcony at his rightful place next to his father.
'I can't believe that one day all this will be mine,' he thought to himself as he watched his father make an announcement. He looked into the horizon, staring into the neighbouring kingdoms wondering what he will find when he visits them as he searches for his wife. He wondered if they would throw themselves at him as the girls of his own kingdom did, or if they would be dull and boring with no personality as the few that had traveled to meet him already. He wondered if he would ever find the perfect girl.
"What are you thinking son?" his father asked snaping him back into reality.
"Just trying to figure out what to expect on my travels," Syaoran pondered.
"Do your be best, be the best, and expect nothing but the best," his mother said as she often did. She walked over and kissed her son and her husband on the cheek.
"I couldn't have said it better myself," Kenji beamed at her bringing her into his arms as they all walked back inside the palace.
"Don't settle for whats there," Yelan told him. "Keep on searching until you find a love you've always dreamed of. Don't pick a girl just because she's there and expect you'll eventually just fall in love with her, it doesn't happen. You won't be doing yourself or her, who ever she may be, any favours."
"Thank you mother," Syaoran said forcing a smile onto his lips though she had just made him more nervous than before.
