5 years later...
"Aunt Shofy!" A three year old boy giggled as he stomped slowly towards Princess Sofia.
"Slowly now Phillip." Sofia uttered.
"Sofia!" The blonde Queen beamed after she entered the room.
"Amber!" Sofia smiled.
"King Derek." Sofia greeted.
The King smiled and placed a large wrapped box below the decorated tree.
"Brrrrrrrr..."
Sofia shifted her gaze to boy who shivered.
"Come on Phillip, let's get you into something warm before the cold gets you." Sofia mumbled and carried the little boy.
"Hi Phillip! Do you remember me? I'm Aunt Amber." Amber waved at the boy in her sister's arms.
"Aunt Amer!" Phillip exclaimed and clapped his little hands.
"Ohhh, he's so cute. How come James never turned out this way?" Amber wondered.
"Oh, Amber." Sofia sighed and shook her head.
"Amber!"
The double doors flew open revealing the King and Queen of Enchancia.
"Hi James." Amber uninterestedly greeted.
"Hi Vivian!" Amber cheered and hugged her sister-in-law.
"We're glad you could pay a visit." Queen Vivian smiled.
"What better way to spend Wassailia than with the family." Queen Amber grinned.
"Come on Phillip." Vivian uttered and took Phillip from Sofia's arms.
"How was your performance Que- Vivian?" Sofia asked remembering to not address her by her title, it irritated her friend since they were best friends.
"Most of the royals were surprised to watch the Queen of Enchancia play but nonetheless it was great." The Queen smiled.
"How 'bout Mom and Dad?" James asked.
Just in time, the said couple entered the room.
"Kids." Miranda beamed and hugged all of them individually.
"Mom, we're not kids anymore." James groaned as he received a kiss from his mother.
"Hello King Derek, how was your first anniversary?" Miranda asked.
"It was great, Amber taught me a lot of things." King Derek responded which made Amber blush.
"Sofia, I heard Dad was throwing a 'survival-of-the-fittest' for your suitors this coming year." Amber spoke out of the blue.
"Uhhmmm... Y-yeah." Sofia weakly smiled.
Princess Sofia never liked the idea. True, she was aware of having no spouse at the age of 21 but it didn't mean she should rush these things. If she's gonna get married at least to the one she loves.
"What's wrong you don't seem well?" Amber asked worriedly.
"It's just, Dad can we not do it? I know you're worried that I won't be getting married but can you please leave the decision to me?" Sofia mumbled as she looked at her parents.
"But Sofia." Miranda cooed.
"Mom, she's right. What if she doesn't like the victor?" James asked.
"Son, we won't know until it happens." Roland responded.
"Well, we can't just force Sofia to marry someone she doesn't love." Amber added.
No one uttered a word. They knew Amber was right.
Then the silence got broken when Phillip cried.
o0oOo0o
A week has passed and Queen Amber and King Derek had already left Enchancia.
"Princess Sofia, are you heading to the library?" One of the maids asked as she passed by the hallway.
"Yes." Sofia smiled.
"Shall I bring you something to eat?"
"No, thank you." Sofia responded.
The maid bowed then left.
"Sofia!" Queen Vivian called out and walked towards her.
"Good morning Vivian." Sofia greeted.
"Good morning!" The Queen beamed.
"You're heading to the library, right? Can I come along?" Vivian asked.
"Sure." Sofia replied.
"So, what did you come here for?" Vivian asked after they entered the library.
"Well, I don't know exactly. The library often surprises me with new stories everytime I come here." Sofia honestly spoke.
Just after the Majesties took their seat, an old woven book flew from the shelve. 'The Walls between Us' the leather cover page red.
"Interesting title." Vivian gasped.
The book opened and the two royals started reading the book.
Sofia was dumbfounded, as she red the book she was silent every detail reflected her life like the story was her own.
At the last page of the book a saying was quoted by the author who still was unknown.
You've made your own choices and created beautiful memories. Now, decided well as history repeats itself.
-The Author
"Sofia, your amulet!" Vivian uttered in surprise.
Indeed, the purple amulet glowed.
"It hasn't glowed like this for 10 years." Sofia mumbled.
The amulet's glow died as a brunette lady appeared in front of them.
"Greetings, I am Princess Katherine." The lady bowed.
"From the story?" Sofia asked.
The lady bowed in response.
"But what are you doing here?" Sofia asked confused.
"I've been trying to reach you for a decade. I waited at the secret library, hoping for you to come and I'm fortunate enough to talk to you now. Listen Princess, you have to fulfill the prophecy." Princess Katherine spoke.
"The prophecy in the story?" Vivian asked.
"Yes, I was stubborn not to listen from the wizard's warning. I ignored my faith and it has made two kingdoms fall-"
"But that's your faith. How can Sofia be involved in this?" Vivian asked.
"Princess please if I am wrong then at least think about it. My kingdom and King Laurence's has already fallen please don't make the same mistake as I did."
Princess Katherine faded with her last words.
'Hugo'
"I need to go." Sofia mumbled as she wiped the tear that crawled down her cheek.
"Where are you going?" Vivian asked.
Sofia didn't answer her friend and ran to the chariot. She ordered the coachman to head to Hugo's kingdom.
"I'm sorry Your Highness but King Hugo hasn't come back from the two-year war." The steward spoke after Sofia asked Hugo's whereabouts.
Sofia smiled weakly and walked back to the carriage.
