The Kindness Within

Chapter 9: Prophecy of the Mirror

Once upon a time in a country named Auradon, in the district of Ulstead, far far away from here, there was a beautiful Princess.

This Princess was named Auraline, born to King Philip and Queen Aurora.

Auraline was certainly a very beautiful girl, with a slight tan on her skin, chocolate brown hair and her deep brown eyes.

Yes, Princess Auraline possessed a beauty that rivalled that of her mother.

The whole subkingdom of Ulstead loved Auraline.

Everyone but one person: her sister Audrey.

Audrey was jealous. Just because Auraline was a bit prettier than she was.

Auraline had everything: a good future, good-looking Princes fighting for her hand and all the support she would need to rule.

But Auraline wasn't truly happy.

Every time she'd look out of her bedroom window, she saw the Isle of the Lost, and felt guilty about the children who had to live there, just because their parent was evil.

Auraline wanted a change, but she felt like she was the only one.

Thoughts

New POV

Aura's POV:

It has been a few days since I got that vision, but I cannot get it out of my head!

I'm growing weaker with the moment, it's like I'm cursed.

Am I destined to become evil? Was I ever meant to do good?

Audrey's POV:

Just because she's so beautiful doesn't mean she has to get every thing!

She already had the crown of our district, all beauty mom possesses and Ben's heart too!

Why won't my sister just let me love Ben? Everyone knows she's having secrets these days she hides from the world.

Who knows what she did on the Isle?

And now, dad told me King Adam and Queen Belle are considering the marriage between Ben and Aura.

My parents have always preferred her over me!

And why?

Just because she is and has it all.

But I will show the world that my sister is an evil witch.

Late in the afternoon, I sneaked outside to the fields.

I found my sister near the borders of the Forest, wearing no shoes.

She had a book on her lap, drawings in it with descriptions in a strange language.

"Gi meg styrke makten til å se fremtiden for min elskede." my sister spoke.

Right then, my sister's highlights turned into a shining golden colour as blue sparkling swirlings surrounded her.

"Magic!" I spat in a whisper.

Aura had her eyes closed as the golden magic swirled around her like a tornado, waving through her hair like a breeze.

The gold of the swirlings started to become more intense and the book in her hands shone bright white light that enlightened my sisters face.

I knew this had to be very advanced magic.

But how on Earth did Aura learn this anyway? I do not recall mom or dad speaking about any magical signs concerning Aura.

But of course, Aura has been to the Isle of the Lost.

Many evil sorcerers and sorceresses live there, she could have learned it there!

Out of the book, some sort of silver mirror rose and Aura opened her eyes.

The mirror started to speak:

"Mistress of Loyalty, fear not. Your beloved will not be done any harm. However, Darkness is lurking in the corners of a Royal Heart you know well. Unleash your Magic, dear Mistress, and the Darkness shall fade from all hearts. Yet, the clock is ticking the valuable time away you need to find your inner power."

Then the mirror dissolved into silver smoke, going back inside the book as the golden breeze around Aura disappeared.

Aura closed the book, reciting the mirror's riddleish lines. "Your beloved will not be done any harm. However, Darkness is lurking in the corners of a Royal Heart you know well. Unleash your Magic, and the Darkness shall fade from all hearts. Yet, the clock is ticking the valuable time away you need to find your inner power."

My sister sighed. "At least Ben is safe and that one vision won't come true."

Vision? Where was my sister talking about?

Ben's POV:

I was sitting near a tree behind the school's fields as my dearest beloved came to me.

She was happy.

But I couldn't be happy.

"Ben? What is wrong?" Aura asked, her voice concerned.

I sighed. "It are your parents. During their last visit to my parents, yours have pushed mine to at least consider our early marriage."

"Well, would you mind?" Aura asked.

"The longer I thing about it, it becomes more clear to me that I would not mind at all, how about you?" I replied.

Aura shook her head. "Neither would I, but there will be other problems."

I frowned. "Like what?"

Aura sat down next to me. "I used a Mirror Spell to find out your future. It at least told me that my vision would not come true after all. Yet, there is Darkness lurking in someone's heart. It did not tell me who, but it is a Royal I know well."

"Can you recite the lines to me?" I asked.

Aura nodded and started to speak. "Your beloved will not be done any harm. However, Darkness is lurking in the corners of a Royal Heart you know well. Unleash your Magic, and the Darkness shall fade from all hearts. Yet, the clock is ticking the valuable time away you need to find your inner power."

"Guess it's time for you to finally do something with your magic talent." I said with a smirk.

Aura rolled with her eyes. "I'll just ask Fairy Godmother to teach me a few things. If she won't, I'll be busy on my own to find out how to unleash my magic."

"Good idea." I agreed.

"Back on the marriage subject, not everyone here likes magical people." Aura told.

"Everyone loves you." I disagreed.

"But once it comes out I am a magician, a powerful one at that, they'll fear I'll turn into a villain of some kind and they'll despise me down to their bare bones." Aura argued. "You know how narrow-minded some people are, they won't accept it."

"I know that, my dearest love. But think about the time you accidentally revealed your magic to me, it never made me love you less." I told.

"You are not one of those narrow-minded idiots, my love, and you'll never be one of them either." Aura said.

"The people that really love you will never back down if you reveal your magic to them. And only your real friends will stand beside you. Only the fakers shall let you down." I told.

Aura nodded. "Shall we tell Mal about your 'beastly needs'?"

I didn't know about that, my face turning into a thinking mode.

"We don't have to if you're not ready for it." Aura told, laying her hands on mine.

"I think you must tell her, without me there. You know how to handle people in such situations, something I don't." I told.

Aura nodded. "I'll tell her tonight, when we're both in our room. I'll tell you about her reaction tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." I said, gently taking her hands and kissing both backs.

Well, do you like it?

Please comment!
