'Ugh.. the sun's too bright' said Lynn Aurelius. It was morning and he had just woken from his comfortable slumber. The seasons were rapidly changing from summer to autumn, but the sun was still an early riser.

"I should go greet the Pegasus's". He got up and put on his normal clothes and looked at the mirror. He had slightly spiked midnight black hair complemented by a set of golden eyes. You could say he was strikingly handsome, but he had this mysterious aura that made others feel inferior albeit the fact that he usually has an emotionless face.

"Good morning your royal highness..." said his personal guard in front of his room.

"Stephen are you not tired,you know I can handle myself daytime and nighttime from whatever idiot tries to attack me... as if anyone would though". He continued on walking toward the stables and glanced behind him to see the man's expression. It was of shock and slight happiness. Stephen a tall medium built man who always had a comfortable feeling oozing out of him. His hair was silver and reached all the way to his shoulders and looked to be in his mid 30s, but he was actually much older than that.

"I apologize, but it is my responsibility to be by your side and it is my job". The guard quietly followed followed him and went on speaking today's routine. "Today you will have a meeting with the lord and highness in five minutes about your engagement to Lady Violet and...".

He suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to his personal guard, " Stephen, go tell my parents I will not be engaged to someone as bratty and selfish as that old woman."

The guard scrunched up his eyebrows and whispered "But your majesty, I can't do that. I'll be fired and banished if I were to do that."

The prince sighed and said, "Fine i'll do it personally ". He sped down the hall and opened the massive gold doors into the throne room. He stepped into the brightly lit room and saw his mother and father sitting across from the prime minister and his daughter Violet.

"Oh your majesty your here already. I can't wait for our marriage." said Violet. The prince sighed. Sure she was beautiful, but she just wasn't his type and her attitude was even worse. He knew for a fact that Violet was a spoiled brat from birth since they were childhood 'friends', if you could consider it that.

"Father, why is it that I am suddenly engaged and without my consent. This girl is spoiled and I don't even like her in the least." He had an emotionless look in his eyes and was demanding an answer.

His father put up a serious face and said "Son, if you don't marry another who has superior power and authority, how do you think the royal line will continue. Regardless of your decision and opinion, you will marry Lady Violet whether you like it or not."

His patience was running thin and he retorted "For me to marry this trash of a woman, I'd rather not marry at all."

Lady Violet suddenly burst into tears and was loud enough to the point where everyone in the palace could hear. "Why do you hate me so much Prince Lynn, I simply want the kingdom to prosper and once we marry, we could learn to love each other."

Tick marks were beginning to appear on his forhead, "Father, do you not understand me, I've lived here for 17 years already and I know for a fact that the prime minister and his daughter included is trying to corrupt the royal family and there are plenty of reasons and examples of how they are doing it."

His father's face contorted and with his powerful voice, in front of the crowd of people at the door listening into the conversation, "Lynn, you will not speak badly of my friend and you most certainly can not disapprove of your own marriage. If you do not want this marriage then I might as well banish you from the kingdom and force you down to

the lower lands!!!"

Lynn's eyes darkened and he snorted "Fine, do what you want, but I will not marry this wench and you can't stop me." He was trying to keep in his anger in albeit his face was emotionless and stoic.

His mother suddenly became alarmed and spoke out "Your majesty you can't banish our own son and crown prince to the lower lands. We all know that Lynn has powers and abilities that surpass even our own, but he is my son, I can't let him roam alone."

Lynn knew how much his mother loved and and cherished him, but after what happened in 17 years ago she was reluctant to take her eyes off him for even a second.

It was the middle of the night on the evening of my birth. People had infiltrated the kingdom from below and were destroying the kingdom. People were being stabbed and lifeless eyes stared back at their comrades. The infiltrators wore black cloaks and led a group of grotesque monsters who had slacken jaws and what looked to be Minotaur legs combined with not a humanoid top, but a near hairless dog. Nearly a quarter of the royal army force were injured and when they had gotten to his crib, he was almost taken as the queen was weak after giving birth. Apparently a large orb of light had arose from his body and it enveloped the whole room with light that turned the kidnappers into dust and ashes. The attackers began to screech in pain and retreated. He had fallen asleep for a week and everyone in the kingdom were in riot until he had woken up and surprised everyone with a laugh. While the cleaners were cleaning up his room, they found streaks of visible mana and it was deduced that it had come from him and the queen, still in a tired state began to be more protective around him.

Lynn peered at his mother and spoke in a soft voice, "Mother, you needn't worry about me, I am perfectly capable."

His father got up and stood on his throne, "From this day on, the crown prince Lynn Aurelius is hereby banished for an indefinite amount of time until he reforms and is willing to marry Lady Violet."

The maids and guards behind the door gasped and from the corner of Lynn's golden eyes, he saw the prime minister and his daughter lock eyes and smile. He watched with slanted pupils at the two, "Very well father, then I wish to be sent to a vacant home near the Maegis Academy."

The King looked at his son. "So be it, I will do exactly that, but keep in mind Lynn, I will have to restrict how much magic you can use and conceal you so that people will not recognize that you are from the royal family. Also as a punishment, I will seal all your memories except for your own name and how to use the most basic of magics."

Mother started to cry and said, "Lynn please, are you sure you want to do this?"

He nodded and his mother closed her eyes and you could see her physically wilt into her chair as she spoke. "I will make you live in the most comfortable home in the lower lands and I will inform the headmaster of the school. Promise me you'll not get into trouble okay?" Lynn thanked his mother and nodded his head as he was escorted to an empty room where the king and queen and the necessary helpers to set him up.
