- Prologue:

Mikan Yukihira woke up suddenly, she questioned her surroundings with heavy confusion. She doesn't remember much of anything, but for some reason her mind was set on looking for a yellow brick road to lead her out of a never-ending maze, and getting away from creepy-looking creatures.

She looked around and saw her stuffed animals lining the shelves, with framed paintings of carousel horses hanging on the pastel-pink walls. She sighed in relief, taking in that everything was just a dream, and she was back safely in her room.

Mikan got out of her bed, sinking her bare feet in the fluffy pink rug, and walked to her nightstand. She gingerly picked up her delicate jewelry box, and when she opened it, a tiny princess and prince were dancing around to the melody of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". She knew that this soothing melody would help her get back to sleep in no time.

All of a sudden, she felt a darkness hovering over her like a phantom clawing at her soul. Hesitantly, she peaked up to the person who was hovering over her eight year old stature. She held in her gasp, when her Bambi brown eyes met a pair of intimidating crimson ones.

Any person or creature would have ran far away from the Goblin King, but not Mikan Yukihira. Instead, she beamed up at him, and for some reason showed no sign of fear.

"Hi, I'm Mikan Yukihira. What's your name?" She inquired with child-like curiosity. Her parents and her older sister, Mitsuki, always told her to never talk to strangers. However, for some reason, Mikan felt like this stranger was a fellow friend not a mere stranger.

She took out her hand, indicating for him to shake it. He grasped her tiny hand in his black gloved one, moving their joined hands slowly up and down before they both pulled away.

"My name is Natsume Hyuuga, King of the Goblins. How would you like all of your dreams to come true, starting with your wish of wanting to become a princess?" He asked her with a hint of hypnotism in his tone.

A red flame ignited itself on the palm of his gloved hand, she stared at it completely mesmerized. She saw her dreams flashing before her, switching to different ones, and she felt compelled to touch the flame.

As she was about to touch it with a soft prick of her finger, she heard her sister exclaimed in protest, which made her snap out of reverie.

"Mikan, don't touch that!" Perplexed and slightly in a daze, Mikan ran to her sister who wrapped her arms protectively around her.

Mitsuki glared at the Goblin King, and said through clenched teeth.

"Be gone, Goblin King. I made a stupid mistake of asking you to take my sister away, I only said it out of anger, and I thought you were a made up character of a story to begin with!"

"Well, I'm here in the flesh, and your words have no power to send me away. So give me the child, and you can enjoy the perks of being an only child once again." He slowly walked towards them like a predator about to pounce at its prey.

Mikan could feel her sister's anxiety radiating off her, and couldn't help but be consumed by it also. Mitsuki looked down at Mikan's saddened eyes, and kissed upon her tear stained cheeks.

"Goblin King, let us exchange a new offer. Take me instead as your new addition of Goblins, you have my word that I'll be perfect little angel under your realm," Unknown to him, she had her fingers cross at that last part of being an 'angel'.

There was a long pregnant pause, you could cut the tension with a knife. Finally, the Goblin King spoke for his response.

"You have a deal," He grabbed Mitsuki quickly, wrapping her around his black cloak, and the whole room started to shake like a drunken earthquake.

Mikan ran to both of them, she banged her tiny fists at the Goblin King, even though her attempts were futile towards him.

"Let her go, you big meanie. Mitsuki, I broke your favorite snow globe, so I should go with him and be a goblin because I deserve to be punished!" Mikan was a blubbering mess, she didn't want her sister to go.

The Goblin King rolled his eyes at the tiny human girl, pushing her out of the way. She stomped her foot in protest, and he had to admit that he found her anger quite entertaining. He decided to humor the girl, and lead her on with an empty promise of hope of seeing her sister again.

"Tell you what, little girl. I'm going to give you a magical stone, which will take you to my Underground Kingdom around your seventeenth birthday. You will have to walk through a maze, and if you get out in time, you and your sister shall return home safely. However, if you lose, you and your sister shall remain in my realm forever."

He gave her a devilish smirk, delighted to have a new pawn play in his wondrous maze. Mikan nodded her head for a response, not even hesitating. She would do anything to save her sister.

He gently put his gloved hand on her forehead, and he whispered wistfully.

"That is of course, if you can remember this night had ever happened," A stroke of lighting blared throughout the entire house, which made the lights flicker on and off. The Goblin King and Mitsuki were gone, and Mikan was standing in the middle of her room completely clueless on what just occurred in her room.

She let out a huge yawn, and walked back to bed. As she tucked herself in like a caterpillar in its cocoon nest, she fluffed up her pillow, and noticed something was underneath it.

A red stone was winking itself like a shiny coin, she felt compelled to keep it safe and never lose it.

She laughed to herself giddily, "I can hardly wait to show Mitsuki what I got from the tooth fairy, maybe it will be replaceable of her snowglobe that I accidently broke,"

Throughout the entire night, Mikan gripped onto the stone, having no clue of the significance of the stone helping her find her sister in the far future.
