"You can dig so deep for scars.." The voices began again. He was unresponsive. "You never knew your mind was dark.." The voices continued. He remained still, not moving from his princely pose, next to his brother. "You're a mess. You're not a prince!" The voices yelled. Oh how the voices sound like his father and brothers. He moved his eyes over the croud gathered before he and his family.
"Today, we crown the new king!" His fathers voice echoed through out the forest. It was silent afterwards. Not a single chirp or growl from within the forest. "If my son, Alecaster is truely the new wolf king, then he shall live!" His father boomed. His father placed the crown on the eldest's head, whipering. "I love you, my son." To Alecaster.
The eldest's body began to deform and bubble, but despite what pain he was in, Alecaster did not move, or scream. Tears, however began flowing from his eyes, as his face began to burn and turn a dark black, as his body began to desinagrate. Alecaster was not the king. None of them were. Except one.
*•.•*~Later that day, 10:43 pm, the kingdom cave~*•.•*
"Momma? Who is going to be king?" The youngest asked while his mother groomed his hair. Running her comb through the unusual white feathery locks of hair.
"I don't know, Rae, I don't know." She whispered. Her sorrow thickly laced throughout her sweet voice. Suddenly, the king bursted through the door. The king also being the father of Rae and Alecaster, along with the rest of the sons.
"This is bollocks! All of the rest of your sons are all weak, and him?" He yelled, pointing in Rae's direction. "He isn't a wolf! He's a porcelain doll! And child's toy! Ragnen was a strong leader, held his head high by your age! How old even are you, you bloody swine?!"
"I- uh.. T-ten, sir." The youngest spoke. His voice wavering as he failed to keep calm. His cheeks began to streak with tears.
"USELESS! You can't even say anything without stuttering!" The king bellowed. Rae had had enough. Without knowing he caused all the candles to blow out at once, his eyes going from a bright orange to a blood red.
"Useless? What would you know! You just sit on your bloody arse all day and claim to be ruling the kingdom when momma does everything! You don't even remember my name.. " Rae snapped and then suddenly snaped back to normal, his eyes returning to the usual pumpkin orange. He then retreated behind his mother quietly crying and saying "I'm sorry"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY YOU IGNORANT PRICK?!" His father screamed. "YOU'RE AN UNGRATEFUL SON OF A BITCH! LITTERALLY!"
"Azure that is enough." The mother said, a stern voice. Her wand was drawn and she was already chanting a curse.
"Xenia, put your goddamn wand away. I don't want him to be exposed to that. " Azure, the king, said.
Rae knew magic. Xenia was teaching him all kinds of magic. And tomorrow being his 11th birthday, that fall she was going to sneak him to a wizarding school. He was plenty able, he was a better wizard than he was a wolf. But Azure he didn't know about it, more like, he didn't want to know. He hated magic, but was required in royal blood. Every king has wizard blood in them. But Rae? No he had 75% wizard blood. All of the children do.
And so the story of life goes on...
*•.•*~ Fall, 7/1, 7:00 am, Diagon Alley~*•.•*
Letter was received, mother had home dressed, and now they go shopping. His mother knew he would be able to shop on his own, and make it to the train station, but she still had to check him into his hotel, and then make sure she had an excuse.
"Alright, Rae, get everything on that list, but noting extra, pay in coins and do not talk to strangers unless they go to Hogwarts too." Xenia said as she hugged her youngest son tightly. She knew Azure wouldn't notice his absence, but just in case she would say he was on a training journey, and would be back in spring.
"Alright momma." He smiled and kissed her cheek before running off to gather his supplies.
His mother left, after telling him to slow down and be careful. He was on his own now. But that was alright. He was used to being alone. The first stop, was for books and school supplies. Then a robe and a wand and finally an owl.
He gathered all the books he needed, along with a few extra notebooks and coloring supplies. Then he got any other school supplies on the list. Next up was a robe. He slipped into the robe shop and quickly chose out a robe, he noticed stares coming from everyone. Well who wouldn't notices a small boy with white hair and orange eyes in dark gray and white princely attire. He was used to princely wear, but he still loved peasant attire as well. He looked over to see none other than Harry Potter. Not soon after the spotting, how ever, a blonde haired boy waltzed in, looking rather snobbish in his clothing and his structure. Rae quickly rang up his purchases and absconded from the robe shop, and to the wand shop.
After about six different wand tries, they finally found one that wouldn't cause trouble and that suited Rae very well. It was a dark mahogany wand with silver swirls throughout the wood. It had a wolf paw in silver on the bottom of the wand. The wand itself was rather pricey. But Rae still managed to have some golden coins left over for an owl. He made his way to the owl shop where he had found a rather pretty female owl. She had pretty gray and brown feathers and she looked as though she was from the forest he lived in. She had no name as of yet but Rae quickly paid and left. He noticed the time and it was almost noon, so he went to the hotel and quickly checked in. He needed some help moving all of his supplies but he and some workers in the hotel finally made it to the room with his stuff. Of corse, his regular clothing was all packed. His mother had said he would be aloud in that hotel until the Hogwarts express came in a few days.
Rae sighed and looked around. The hotel room was a beautiful deep green with golden accents, and deep browned woods. He sniffed the air and caught a familiar scent. He went out to the balcony of his room and looked over to wear the scent was coming from. The room next door had the same scent as the blonde haired snob from the robe shop. Rae dismissed it and just say outside for a while. He was rather relaxed until the voices started up.
"Don't even try and make friends." The voices whispered. "No one will like you. They will hate you!"
"No they won't, shut up." Rae whispered to the voices. "I will have friends."
