Summary: "Mommy? Daddy? Do you have any brothers or sisters?" their faces looked shocked. "No Aries, we don't." "…Are you sure?"

Chapter 2:

Author's POV:

"Aries…"

"Aries….."

"Aries…wake up."

His eyelids were heavy but they fluttered slowly open. His body felt extremely sore, like he was crushed under a boulder last night, and suddenly he felt a hand shaking his shoulder. The voice came again.

"Good morning my sleepy prince." The voice sang.

Aries rolled over and saw his mother, Miranda, sitting on the side of his bed. He realized he was in his bedroom, lying in bed. The late morning sun was streaming in through the several windows against his walls. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. 'Good morning mommy."

"Morning darling." His mother was the Queen of the kingdom. She was beautiful and lovely, everyone loved her. It was rare for Aries to see Miranda in the morning, she had been so busy these last couple of months they never had much time together, unless she was putting him to bed, the servants usually care for the children. Miranda must not be very busy to be able to wake Aries, instead of Verrick or his nanny.

Miranda stood up from the bed and glided over to one of the huge wardrobes. "Are you hungry? You've slept right through breakfast my dear."

He squinted his eyes. Was he in his bed all this time? "No just tired." He managed through a yawn.

Pulling out some clothes Miranda smiled at her son. "Well that's fine, now hurry, you have a lesson with Verrick. Your lesson will be outside today since the castle is so busy with the party tonight."

He yanked off his covers and hopped off the bed. "Its Cammy and Alex's birthday!"

It was October 31st, the twins birthday. His older siblings were turning 27. Princess Apollo and Princess Artemis, or Camryn and Alex. He could call them either one; he liked Cammy and Alex best though. Tonight was their birthday party, they would be having this one in Coventry, in the main hall of the castle. The twins would alter where they would celebrate birthdays and holidays between this dimension and their normal one, with their other parents, their human ones. Aries didn't quite understand but he was trying to learn, his siblings lives were very different and much more confusing than his own.

"That's right. And I'm sure your sisters would hate it very much if you missed their party tonight. So come along." She put a cluster of clothing on his bed for him to put on. "Let's start the day!" She sang again as she walked out the room, leaving him alone to get dressed.

Changing out of his pajamas, Aries wondered. Could last night have all just been a dream? I mean it must have, how would he had gotten back to his room, and Luna too?

He shrugged off the dream about dancing fairies and shadow people. That couldn't have been real, absolutely not. Aries changed into his clothes quickly and ran out his room to find Luna.

When he got downstairs he found everybody in the main hall once again finishing up for the party.

"The party is only in a few hours and nothing is right!" His sister Camryn yelled rushing past him out of the hall. His other sister Alex was standing in the center of the room with their father and Karsh.

Alex sighed. "Who cares if nothings right, it's just a stupid party anyways." Alex didn't want a party, she was refusing to help at all.

"Well your sister does." Karsh said.

"That's right; everything will be fine by tonight I'm sure." Their father added.

Aries didn't care about the party. He would have to go to bed early anyways and who would want to be in a big room full of adults you don't know anyways. He walked over to where Luna and her mother Ileana were standing at a table. "And a fairy mommy! On the wall!" Luna exclaimed. A dancing fairy on the wall. Luna was talking about last night. It couldn't have been a dream then. It was all real, the fairy, the book, and the shadows, it wasn't a dream after all.

"Oh wow Luna, how nice." Ileana wasn't listening much; she was busy sorting out the tables for the party. And Luna was just a little girl after all; she could have been making the story up in her head. So Aries stepped forward to tell the story as well.

"I saw the fairy last night too, she really was dancing on the wall." Aries said standing on the other side of Ileana. She looked down at the child.

"Oh really? And when did you see this fairy?"

Aries knew they would both be in trouble if they were out of their rooms at night, but he knew it was better to just tell the truth now instead of lying about it. "Last night, in the hallway, everyone was sleeping."

Ileana narrowed her eyes at both children but smirked. "Which hallway?"

"The one next to my room, Luna was chasing her first and then I followed her to put her back to bed."

Her eyes shifted from Aries to Luna. "Yeah mommy! A fairy!"

"Then what happened?" She went back to the tables.

"Ummm…" She didn't seem to believe the story, so what was the point. "That's it, I just put Luna back to bed and then I went to bed." Luna looked at Aries then back at her mother. She knew that was a lie.

"Well." She rustled Aries hair and bent down so she was at his eye level. "Thank you for putting Luna back to bed for me." He smiled at the compliment, Aries was Luna's protector and it was his job to look out for her.

"Now how about I take you both outside for your lesson, Verrick is waiting for you on the lawn."

"No that's okay." He took little Luna by her hand. "I can bring us by myself." Tugging Luna's arm he pulled her toward the door to the courtyard. "Come on Luna." Waving the children off, Ileana went back to sorting tables and the children went off to the lesson. Luna looked up at Aries with a confused looked. "Maybe the fairy is supposed to be just a secret, you know, just for you and me Luna, we can't tell the adults I guess, they won't listen." He shrugged. Luna still looked confused, but still holding onto Aries hand; she shrugged it off as well. "Ok." She responded in her small voice.

Aries' POV:

"That's all for today Aries. You did a good job today." Verrick said.

I didn't like lessons. They were boring and long. I already learned a bunch of new spells on my own. I nodded my head anyways.

Usually we had our lessons inside, but since the twins were getting ready for their party tonight, there was so much going on in the castle; Verrick thought it would be a good idea for us to have our lesson outside on the courtyard today. It was just Me, Verrick, Luna, and Medilana today for my lesson. Medilana was Luna and my nanny. I don't need a nanny, Luna does though. Medilana was young, with dark long hair; she was wearing glasses as she sat in a chair reading a book, not paying any attention to Luna or me at all. She had lots of books by her feet, mostly spell books for us.

Verrick looked at his watch. He did that a lot, he was very busy too I think, all the adults were. "We'll have another one tomorrow morning, early, try not to sleep in okay buddy?" He patted me on the head. Everybody likes to do that. Like I'm a little baby like Luna, I'm not a baby I'm a big kid, I don't need a nanny either, I can do just fine on my own.

Verrick walked back inside the castle, leaving us to play in the yard. Luna grabbed a book and stood next to me. "Story?" She said in her tiny voice.

I shrugged and took the book from her, big kids read to little kids, so I read to Luna all the time, all by myself. She clapped with excitement, Luna loved when I ready to her. I looked at the strange red covered book she handed to me; I'd never seen it before. The book looked old and raggedy, like it had been sitting at the top of the bookshelf forever. The book looked like it was falling apart, it had no words on the cover, but it snapped shut on the front like a diary.

Just then two pieces of paper fell out. I looked at the pages at my feet; both papers were folded up and had the signature Miranda on them. As I reached to pick them up a strange wind blew them a little away from us. The wind continued to blow the papers farther and farther away from the castle, all the way to castles guarded stone fenced wall. How strange. Luna and I chased the papers further away from Medilana. I ran up and grabbed both pieces and opened them up. They were both mini drawings, they almost looked like someone painted them, the first was a drawing of what looked like my mother and another lady who could be her twin, it was strange, Cammy and Alex were the only twins I knew. But maybe it was just a painting of two of my mom, maybe if she did have a twin like Cammy and Alex.

The second was a picture of my dad and another man, a man I feel that I have seen before… They weren't twins but they did look a little alike. They were standing next to each other, both smiling, the man next to my dad; his smile was different, a little scary. They both had crowns on, like I have, a prince crown. My dad was a prince once, before he was king, but who was the other man standing with him? Could he be a prince too?

"Children! Come inside! Now!" It was Medilana. We were farther away from the castle than I though. I stuffed the two papers in my coat pocket. Maybe I'll show them to Verrick later, he would know, he knows everything. Or maybe I should show them to my parents? It says my mom's name on them after all, maybe she drew them. Luna ran ahead of me to go inside and I took one of the papers back out my pocket, It was the one with my mom on it. The wind blew once again. "Nephew…" A voice said with the wind. My head snapped up to an irritated looking Medilana, hands on her hips, tapping her foot. Did she just say that? I shook my head and stuffed the picture back into my pocket. Maybe I was hearing things, maybe I wasn't.
