Dinner time in our house is always a fiasco. There is no better example than once when I was ten years old. I was in my bedroom and one of the servants called me to dinner and I was the last of my brothers to arrive at the dinner table. My father was not there because he was busy escorting some royal visitors around the kingdom. There are thirteen of us and I am the youngest. Because of my age difference I am often ganged up on. I walked up to the table quietly and started to eat some chicken. I thought about a book a recently read of a king who tried to do his best for his kingdom and he was so inspiring. I want to be like that king.

"I wander where Hans is tonight," My oldest brother William said. He was twenty five years old and the oldest brother but seemed less mature than my ten year old self.

"Me too, it is such a pity he is never here," Henry said. He was seventh oldest.

"I am here," I said quietly. They were playing the 'Hans is invisible game'

"Did you hear something? I swear it was crickets chirping,"

"I think I feel a presence, perhaps a ghost,"

"No you are just hallucinating,"

I rolled my eyes. I got this taunting everyday so it was nothing new to me

"I hate you all," I said quietly as I continued to eat my dinner.

"I think Hans hates us, hence why he is never here,"

"Me too,"

"We should go change his mind about hating us,"

"Okay let's go,"

Then all my brothers decided to get up and walk away from the dining table. This made me feel alone. No matter whether my brothers were around or not they made me feel sad or annoyed. I finished eating and left to go to my room. But I didn't end up going to my room. I ended up walking outside of the Southern Isles castle, past the guards who were expecting people to try to enter the castle instead of exiting. Why did I do this? I decided while walking to my room that I did not want to be tormented by my brothers anymore and to find a place where I can be happy. Our castle is on top of a hill looking down upon our kingdom. The kingdom itself isn't small in its land size but politically it doesn't make a large impact. Other kingdoms like Arendelle and Corona seem to make bigger decisions than we do and to be thirteenth in line in a kingdom like this is just disappointing. I tried to make it through the village at the bottom of the hill without being seen. As I crept around the houses which were mostly filled with fisherman I accidentally ran into someone.

"Ouch," I said.

"You should look were you are going better," the person said. It was little girl with orange hair and big curls. I'd say she was about seven years old.

"I am sorry I am trying to find my own place in a hurry,"

"What does that mean?" she asked.

"I feel that my brothers don't like me and I want to find people who like me,"

"I don't know you that much but I like you,"

"Really?"

"I think you're sweet."

I blushed at this comment.

"You are a Prince of the Southern Isles aren't you?"

"Yeah but don't tell anyone,"

"If you want to find your own place I know exactly where to go,"

I knew not to trust strangers but for some reason her compliment made me want to trust her . This girl then led me to a dark forest which was at the borders of our kingdom.

"If you go through the forest it will became less dark until you make it to Corona. I hope you have fun navigating your way through it,"

"It seems dangerous," I argued. It looked like a place where dangerous creatures would live.

"It isn't just follow the wisps and you will be fine,"

"Wisps?"

"They lead you to your fate, and I am sure yours is through this forest," she explained

"I am sure those stories are made up as magic does not exist," I said back.

"I assure the world is enhanced by the magic that is in it," she said wisely. She did make a valid point and I did want to find my fate.

"Okay I will see where this forest leads me," I said. I started to walk down the forest path. I knew that the decision I was making was immature but I was a child and we all do stupid things as a child. It became very dark very quickly and I found it hard to see. After I took a few steps and I looked back at the forest entrance and it wasn't there anymore. The girl who told me to go to the forest was no longer there. It was just me and the darkness. I took another step but I stepped on a twig which made a loud noise. I then heard rustling from some bushes in front of me and then I heard loud noises from behind me. I hid behind a tree and couldn't face either noise. I started to tremble and shake. I dropped to my knees and started to cry. Then something grabbed and pulled me. I instantly thought I was going to die at that moment. I struggled but it was too strong. However whatever it was led me towards the light. It was my father.

"What are you doing in this forest?" He asked angrily.

"I wanted to find my own place!"

"But The Southern Isles is fine for you,"

"My brothers hate me and think I am invisible. I am only number thirteen and hate it,"

"Look son I know you hate it but before your mother passed away she made me promise to take care of you. I have to keep you safely here,"

For some context my mother died right after I was born hence why there are only thirteen brothers. She made my dad promise to take care of all the brothers especially me because I would have no mother during the early stages of my live I feel very bad because I believe I caused her death..

"But I want to explore the world and rule for myself,"

"That isn't going to happen I am afraid unless you stay safe,"

"Fine I won't leave again until I am older." I decided to stay. It was probably for the best too as to not worry my father much.

"If you dare leave again there will be a big punishment,"

"I understand,"

This heart to heart chat with my dad made me stay in the Isles. It made me realise that I was still loved by someone.

"How did you know I ran away?" I asked curiously.

"The royals I were escorting around the kingdom also had a missing child for some time too but she came back and told us about how you were going to change your fate,"

And it did change my fate. It made me realise that I would need to wait to get my time to shine. And that time to shine happened thirteen years later when I was twenty three years old and my father was on his deathbed….

And so the story will continue.

This might get some interesting reactions because of cameos of other characters in Han's story but I hoped you liked it :D
