Welcome to the land of magic, the land where all of your dreams can come true in just a moment. But be careful because if you use the wrong magic to get what you want it might just all backfire very quickly. But then again everything happens for a reason. It's how my parents meet. Magical accident you could say. Well it was more along the lines of an evil queens plan to kill Prince Wendell and my mother was pulled into the other kingdoms. Well it's a long story how my family met and you could say that when you fall in love you over come the evil that's taken you over.
See my dad loves telling me the story of how he met my mother but she really hates it. It makes him out to be such a- well a crazy wolf. But he is a crazy wolf. Yeah that's right my dad is a wolf. But not like an on all fours wolf. A man that just has a lot of wolf traits; like a tail that comes out sometimes, an amazing sense of smell, and well a bunch of other stuff. It's really hard to describe him unless you meet him because well- he's a bit of a freak. I guess he's from the Fourth Kingdom where Wendell rules.
My mother on the other hand is from the fabled Tenth Kingdom. She is a full normal person unlike my dad. He likes to call her his beautiful Queen. I'm his princess. So beware what you say to me because I am a member of one of the most respected families in all of the ten kingdoms. My parents and grandfather saved all of the kingdoms from the evil that was my grandmother. My mom loved her very much I know that but she never speaks of it because it's hard on her. I guess you could say the fact that the evil queen was my grandmother is quite a secret.
I'm almost eighteen and have been living between the kingdoms my whole life but now that I've come of age it's my choice of where I want to find someone to marry. It's hard on my parents that I have to choose. See my father didn't get his wish of three girls and two boys. There's just me. Once I choose I decide to follow in one of my parents footsteps and it's hard on them. God I should have had a little sister. It would have made everything so much easier. See there would have been a chance for both of my parents to see me grow up the way they wanted me to but not only one will get what they want.
In one kingdom I'll just be a normal person. Finding a normal guy to marry and have normal kids with. If I went to the other nine kingdoms I'd be married off to some prince or something else like that See my father calls me a princess but King Wendell actually made me one. He said he wanted me to be able to marry anyone I wanted even a prince. I think he thought of that because of how I used to be friends with the other princes from the kingdoms growing up. I was rather popular with them.
I have my mothers features you see but my fathers eyes. It's what happens when you're part wolf you eyes are an almost gold color but they look brown when you're not using your senses. But my eyes stay gold most of the time because of the split species I am. Cinderella's great grandson loved it about my eyes. He was my first kiss you know. Well my first kiss on that side of the mirror. But he wasn't the best kisser in the world. Yeah, yeah I was only fifteen but come on he was almost eighteen and really not as good as my actual first kiss. But he was really sweet so I guess that made up for it, at least a little.
Ok back on track.
On my eighteenth birthday I have to choose which life I want and I'm not sure what I want to become. Also my father fears that when I turn eighteen that I'll become a 'monster' like he sees himself as. See once a month he becomes- well he becomes a pretty bad monster type thing that eats anything he can. That's the worst part of it all. We don't know if that will happen to me or not. God I hope it wont happen. But only time will tell.
