"My prince you just can't use your magical powers in the court as the king said" said Frank.

"Father wants me to stop doing something that is in my nature, in my body, how I am supposed to stop something which is part of my flesh and blood" he said while crossing his arms.

"But my lord the court..." Frank tried to say something but he stopped him in the middle.

"Frank, I don't care what the court will say about me being different, I can't help it, I was born this way," he said while looking at himself in the mirror.

"The king wants you to be normal as you are the crown prince and upcoming King, if any of them will know that you are one of those trial executes you never become a king my lord or worse they will kill you" he said looking concerned.

"How dare you talk about me like that, Frank? I am still a crown prince, aren't I?" he said angrily. Frank bowed to him and said "I am sorry my lord I did not mean to offend you all I was doing my duty, now if you don't offend could we go to the court as everybody is waiting for you".

He walked towards the door proudly while Frank stood up from his bowed back and gave him a sigh.

"I hope my lord you will soon understand why I am stopping you from doing magic".

******

The court was full of crowd; all the nobles from the countries and the allied countries were sitting there. He entered the court proudly and sat beside the king. The king had given him a sigh like he was saying "No magic" and he started looking away.

"So gentlemen we are gathered here for this wonderful day in order to make an announcement, I fix an engagement between our crown prince Somerzex John Howard and lady hazel of gardenia" said King Ralph smiling. Somerset, who was not ready for this, looked at his father in disbelief.

Everyone in the court clapped. He sat there because he was forced to. He looked at his mother who was looking at him. After the court meeting was over, he went to his mother.

"Mother, what is happening here? I can't marry her, you know why" he said angrily.

"You are the upcoming king and you know you have to get married," she said without looking at him.

"Mother you know what i am, you know I can't expose it, do you want me in hiding for eternity?" He said while looking at himself in the nearby mirror.

This was his mother's favorite mirror, since his childhood he saw this mirror in her room. "I know your condition Somerset but I can't help you, you know why" she said calmly.

"Mother in all my life you both wanted to hide my true nature and now you betrothed me with someone who should not know what I am" he said while looking at her mother's reflection. He had the same dark brown hair as hers’, but he has his father's electric blue eyes.

He was angry. "Mother I have always thought when I am going to marry her. I will tell her what I am, instead of hiding" he said sadly.

"I can understand you son, but we can't help it. You know in order to make our kingdom strong we have to betroth you with a nearby kingdom, '' she said sadly, as she walked ahead and hugged her son.

"Mother, all I wanted was a normal life, why am I not normal like you and dad? '' he said sadly. She remained quiet.

"Mother, I have always asked you why I am like this, '' he asked, "And I told you we don't know, '' she said calmly.

"Time to go, I have to do something urgent," she said and turned to her mirror. He knows there are no further talks so he left.

After he left she turned and looked at the door. "I am sorry my son, I can't tell you that I am sorry," she said sadly.

He walked out of the castle and went to the woods. He always goes there when he does not feel well. He was walking inside the jungle and sat behind the tree and watching the stars.

"Hi there, you all are the same, how does it feel to be in the same uniform, unlike me, a different being? '' he whispered. Suddenly he heard the sounds of fallen leaves, he turned and it was a very beautiful brown cat. It was walking to him. She stopped and sat beside him. He wants to share his thoughts with someone, so he put the cat over his lap.

“Hey little cat, it's nice to meet you, at least you got a perfect life instead of hiding yourself and becoming something you are not" he said while laughing sadly.

"Meow," said the cat. It was as if she was bored. He let her jump out of his lap, he thought she would go away, but instead she stayed.

"Why don't you go?" he asked but she stood there. Then he got up and started walking away. But it was following him, he turned to look but she never left "Never mind" he walked ahead and lifted it up and brought it to the castle.

******

He was walking inside the castle with the cat when he passed by the king. He first looked at his son, then the cat.

"Now you started bringing forest wildlife into the castle, you are the future king, so behave like one," he said, annoyed.

"Father I am behaving like a king, at least this is one thing I did by my own wish, have a good night my king” he said and left. King Ralph was looking at him like he was trying to understand what he just said.

"So you have met my father" he said to the cat, it said "Meow" instead. He rolled his eyes.

He rang the nearby bell to call his maid. A short height girl came, she was wearing a maid gown, and she had long red hair.

"Yes my lord" she said while bowing. "Bring me some milk Meg," he said. She left while nodding. "I will arrange a bed for you tomorrow, Oh forgot to name you” he said. "How about Sparkles?" he said. The cat "Meow" "I knew it you like it" he said happily.

Meg had brought the milk. The cat started drinking it as it was hungry for years. "Slow down you little lion" he said and turned to his window. Just then Frank entered the room.

"My lord King has arranged a ball for you and lady Hazel, it is tomorrow" he said. Somerzex took a deep breath. "I will be ready" he said, Frank had bowed to him and left.

He turned to sparkle who had already drunk the milk. He lifted it up and took it to the window. The whole town was celebrating the crown prince's engagement. He took a deep breath.

"Have you ever done something you really never wanted to have? '' He put it on the window and turned. He lifted one of his fingers and snapped the candles nearby him lid up and then he snapped again. The cat was looking at this and it said "Meow".

"I know it's different and dangerous during this era, when Salem witches are being hunted down, but sparkle, this is who I am. I was born this way. I asked my mother so many times why I have magic, but she always says she doesn't know," he said, looking sad.

The cat jumped out of the window and rubbed its head over his leg. He lifted it up and said "I like you too".

Today was a ball. He got prepared at the time. He turned to sparkles and said "You have to stay here sparkle as you won't be allowed there" he said. Sparkle walked to his bed. He smiled and walked outside.

The ball room was crowded, everyone was dancing. Women were wearing colorful gowns. He walked ahead. His fiancé was standing with her father. She was black haired, medium height girl. She was wearing a blue gown.

"Go and ask for a dance" said his mother in his ear. He walked slowly and bowed "Can I have a dance with you" she nodded and they went for a dance.

"So what do you like in sport?" he asked. "Nothing much, I instead enjoy having a tea party with my friends," she said.

"Do you like books?" he asked, "No not really" she said.

"Do you like to play music?" she asked, he nodded.

"What do you play?" she asked, "Piano," he said.

"Radius, what are you doing here? It's your nephew's ball. You should toast a drink" said the King.

"Yes, your majesty," said Radius. "You have always been lazy brother" said the king and walked away. Duke Radius was his younger brother and third in line for the throne.

He was dancing and asking her questions, trying to find anything, any interest they shared, but they were totally opposite. He talked until all the questions were done and then he remained quiet. In a minute of time he noticed a chandelier up above their head, lost the ceiling and fell. He raised his hand and the chandelier stopped in the middle of the air. Everyone in the room gasped.

"I told you not to use your powers' ' said the king angrily,

"Father I have saved her and mine life" he said while crossing his arms. The door opened and Frank came in. There was tension over his face.

"My lord, the town's people are out, they want to take the prince," he said, afraid.

"What? No it can't be'' said the queen.

"I won't let anything happen to my son, '' she said, afraid.

"Diana, I want you out of this, I have to go outside" said the king.

"No my lord you can't go, people are hungry for blood" said Frank.

"Frank, you should not forget I am still the king," he said angrily.

"My lord you can't handle it, the truth is already out" said the queen sadly.

"Diana no!" he said in disbelief.

"This is the only way, '' she said calmly.

"I have a way to keep our son safe," she said.

"What way? '' asked King Ralph. She smiled and turned to her mirror. Just then they heard the cat's sound "Meow".

"Sparkles” said Somerzex.

"What are you doing here?'' he said and lifted it up.

Diana turned and looked at the cat and her expressions changed. She smiled and took Sparkles from Somerzex.

"Long time no see," she whispered. The cat was about to say something but she stopped him.

"Listen, I don't have proper time Julius, I want you to go with my son,'' she said.

Somerzex who was unable to understand said "Mother, its Sparkles not Julius and why are you talking to a cat like that"

She and the king smiled at the same moment. "He will tell you everything soon, '' she said."Now do as I am telling you to do, come over here and hold Julius in your arms, I have to cast a magic spell here" she said and for Somezex it was like a bad dream.

"You and magic mother?” he asked. “How can you do magic?" he was shocked.

"Julius not now" again she said to the cat. "Mother, what's happening? '' he asked. But she didn’t heard and pushed him in front of the Mirror and cast a spell.

Into the mirror I cast you

Only to be out when it be

The sacrifice has made for you

Let it be so mote it be

He felt his body drifting away and until he lost consciousness.
