Kingdom of Dawn and Twilight

It was a beautiful day in the Kingdom of Twilight, a few days before the sixteenth birthday of their prince, prince Zexion. The king, Xemnas, had ordered that the people gather in the marketplace so he could openly announce the celebration of his son's birthday.

The only one that wasn't excited was the prince himself. Sitting on his small throne, he only watched as his father stood on the balcony, preparing his speech. Xemnas said it was all about motivation but Zexion knew better. It only meant that everyone who made a mistake on the prince's great day would lose his life.

"People of Twilight! You may rejoice!" Xemnas called.

Zexion shook his head annoyed. This was just absurd…

"As you may know the celebration of my son's birthday will be in a few days! The queen from the Kingdom of Dawn shall be our guest as well as her son! With that we'll strengthen the bonds of friendship between our kingdoms and make sure our country will prosper!"

Zexion could hear the rejoicing people… but who would dare to not-rejoice if that was what the king expected.

"Zexion, at least show yourself to your people" His father hissed.

The prince sighed annoyed and lay down the book he had used for his studies until now and joined his father on the balcony.

X X X

His people… they were not more than indefinable points of color from where he was standing. He didn't know any of them in person. None of them really knew him and still they would cheer for him, celebrate his birthday because it meant luck for their country.

Zexion didn't like any of this… He hated those official celebrations, especially those that were of such importance. It was most likely that his father was to announce something even Zexion didn't know. Like for his twelfth birthday where Xemnas had announced he would learn French to visit a few of the other countries where French was the official language… Zexion still hated the language, he still hated those overstated polite men and he still hated the man, Marluxia, who had tried to teach him this language!

The slate haired male was more than satisfied that he had almost completely forgotten the language before his father had tried to convince him to visit the other countries again to strengthen the bonds of friendship like he used to say.

"Father, please tell the people to excuse their prince. I really have to continue my studies" Zexion stated impatiently.

"Just what is wrong with you? You have scholars for that. Your basic knowledge is more than enough"

"It is not, father. Just imagine how our kingdom could improve if the future king has more knowledge than his scholars. Betrayal would be impossible if you can notice it immediately and…" Xemnas silenced him with a quick wave of his hand.

"My son apologizes himself, there is still work waiting for him!" Xemnas announced with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Zexion left the balcony, knowing that this would get him in trouble when his father finished his speech…

He took his book and his parchment and returned to his room.


Well... I wrote that in a few minutes, don't know what I'm going to do with it.

Please review and tell me if I should continue it or not.
