Chapter 1: The Dream

Alexis/Asuka P.O.V

I cautiously dipped my foot into the sea of sand that was surrounding me. I didn't know where it had come from or why it was even here, I didn't care. However, my curiosity had got the better of me. The sand felt like smooth silk upon my skin, so warm and soft. It didn't seem dangerous to me so I let my other foot take a dip.

I felt a warm sensation flow through me as I slowly made my way across the endless sea of sand. I then felt a gentle breeze play with my hair, bringing a smile to my face. Then, I suddenly heard a beautiful melody being played all around me. I stopped walking and looked around. I couldn't find where the song was coming from, not that it mattered to me.

I shut my eyes and let the music consume me. It was so soothing and sweet, I felt all me worries and cares melt away. I didn't want this feeling to stop. But the music started to fade and I heard a voice calling out to me. As I opened my eyes I saw a silhouette of a teenage boy. I couldn't make out his facial features but I could see his electric blue hair. I found it quite intriguing, as I'd never seen a boy with blue hair before.

He looked like he was trying to call out to me but for some reason I couldn't hear what he was saying. I tried to respond but nothing came out. I grasped my throat in shock. Why couldn't I speak? What's wrong with me?

I looked back at him and noticed that he was starting to fade away! As was everything around me! I wanted to cry out "Wait!" but no sound left my lips. So I watched in utter horror as everything started to fade into the darkness, and this darkness spread everywhere until, I was all alone.

I frantically looked for a way out but, everywhere I looked I just saw the darkness.

Then, without warning, a massive blood-shot eye appeared in front of me. The eye just stared at me, in such a way that it made feel like a frightened little girl. I wanted it to stop, to disappear and never return!

I then heard a sinister laughter in the recesses of my mind. The voice just kept laughing and laughing. I wanted to scream but, I remembered that it would be pointless; after all I was all alone here.

The air around me then started to feel cold. I wrapped my arms around myself in an attempt to try and trap what little body heat I had. It was useless though. The cold bite away at my skin like it was fresh meat that had been laid out for a pack of hungry wolves. I fell to my knees, feeling like a scared little girl. Tears streaming down my face. It's at this point that the sinister laughter ceased and a was replaced by a dark eerie voice that seemed to echo in my mind; "My, what a pathetic girl you are… I was hoping for a more courageous person to fight"

To fight? What does it mean?

"But then again, it wouldn't have made a difference" it snarled. I didn't like the way this demon was talking to me but I couldn't speak! So I couldn't talk back to it.

"Soon you and every miserable person in this kingdom shall perish! Mark my words girl"

Suddenly, everything went white. I didn't understand what was happening.


"Miss? Mistress Asuka?" That voice… I know that voice…

I felt my eyes flutter open and found myself in my bed. At my bedside was a very concerned looking maid waiting for me to respond. I propped myself in an upright position and let out a huge sigh. Thank goodness! I thought, it was just a dream.

"Miss Asuka? Are you alright?" I turned my attention to my concerned maid and smiled, "Yes Blair, I'm perfectly fine. I just had a strange dream that's all"

She smiled at my reply, and then walked over to the humungous curtains and began to slowly open them. "I'm glad to hear that Miss Asuka, we wouldn't want you to be ill on a day like today! Now would we?"

I felt the sunlight shine right in my face as I slowly made my way out of my King-sized bed, I put my hand in front of my eyes to try and block the sun from reaching my eyes but my effort proved fruitless. "I've told you, just call me Asuka and what's so great about today?"

Blair then turned around and helped me out of the bed, she then started helping me get dressed into my normal outfit(Basically picture Princess Jasmine's outfit on Asuka). "Why don't you remember Asuka? After your morning lessons you have another suitor coming to see you!"

"Ugh" was my reply.

I was fed up with my father's constant attempts to marry me off to some complete stranger! Even though he keeps saying that it's for the sake of the kingdom, he doesn't even consider my feelings towards all of this. "I'm not looking forward to it Blair" I said while Blair was doing my doing hair into a big plait. "Why not Asuka?" she replied.

"Because it's just going to be some up-tight, snobby, egotistical ass-hat! Who only wants me for my looks and for the right to the kingdom!" Blair was one of the only people who I could talk to about this whole suitor thing, she's the only person who listens to what I have to say instead of saying that "it's my duty to marry a rich prince and lead the kingdom to prosperity".

"Ah, you have a point there!" she replied, "But you have to admit…" she finished plaiting my hair and placed my blue headpiece gently on my head. "You are to die for!" I looked at myself in the mirror and felt a bit embarrassed by Blair's comment. Was I really that good looking? I would say that I was average looking, not ugly but not anything special.

"P-Please Blair! I'm not anything special." I stammered, trying to conceal my embarrassment by putting my small gold earrings in.

Blair had a crafty smile on her face. She then leaned close to my ear and whispered "Asuka, you've put your earrings on upside down"

I immediately stopped what I was doing and turned my head so that I could see my ear in the mirror. Unfortunately, Blair was right. I tried to fix it but Blair was already there. "Maybe, this guy will be different." She commented, moving to my other ear to sort out the mistake I'd made.

"Trust me Blair. When you've seen one, you've seen them all! And I've already seen seven this week!" I shouted. I was sick and tired of all of them, and I had to tell someone! I then sighed. Stood up, and walked over to the window. "All I want is to find someone who will love me for me. Not because of some flashy title I have or because it's a one way ticket to being a ruler!"

I looked out the window and down on two small birds sitting side by side on a branch together, chirping away merrily. I sighed again and turned back to Blair who had a look of sadness on her face.

"But my father doesn't seem to understand this. So, I've given up on love and marriage. I refuse to let my father treat me like a prize that needs to be won!" I must have sounded like a total brat to Blair, but I couldn't help it. This is how I felt, and I wanted to vent it on someone. Poor Blair was just the unlucky person. I fully expected her to give me a lecture on how immature I was being. What she did next seriously surprised me.

Blair's look of sadness completely disappeared and was replaced by that of a loving smile. She walked over to me and took her hands in mine, looked up at me and said "I understand Asuka, you must hate having all these men treat you this way. But please, don't give up on love! I'm sure your perfect man is just waiting for you somewhere, you just have to find him!"

I stood there, completely dumbfounded by what Blair had just said. She obviously saw this and finished up her little speech with a mood changer. "Now, you go show that boy who's boss! Ok?" She gave me a wink and I felt a smile creep on my face. She then opened the door to my room. "Come Princess Asuka, we don't want you to be late for your first lesson"

I smiled and made my made out of my room, leaving Blair with a few final words. "Yes, we wouldn't want that."

As I walked down the hallway I couldn't help but think about what Blair had said. She was right. I shouldn't give up on love just yet! That's when I felt a light bulb go off in my head. You just have to find him eh? The perfect plan came to mind. I should do exactly what Blair said and go FIND him!

I felt an over welling sense of determination and courage take over my body. I knew what I had to. Now I just need to get through this day! I hope my boy can wait for me a little while longer!
