I walked around the snow and I saw a fox. It's weird because the fox isn't that normal. It has 8 tails which creeped me out. I want to go near it but I'm too scared. So I whistled to get it's attention. I was running scared when it ran towards me. But there was a big rock that made me trip. The 8 tailed fox jumped above me and started playing and it just lie down on my tummy.
I started to pet it but it didn't move or something like it like the that I am petting him. I keep on petting him until it got up and started to lick my face. I laughed and because I felt ticklish when it started to lick on my neck.
"Stop!" I said while laughing. It just smiled at me and wag it's 8 cute tails.
"You're a creepy fox. You have eight tails and it's the first time I've seen something like you."
It just nodded like it was agreeing of what I was saying. "But your weird way is making you look cute. I like weird animals."
But when I heard the magician's flute once again the eight tailed fox started to fade and so is the place that was full of snow. Until… I was back! I looked at everybody and they seem to enjoy everything! They aren't even asleep or something. They were already clapping their hands like they liked what the magician showed them through his flute.
"That was amazing! I feel like I was dreaming!" I heard my Father's comment.
"Hmmm.. me too. I was caught and I saw everywhere I look full of make ups that I really wanted." I just poked my face from what my Mother said.
But I wasn't impressed at all. I-I mean it's not that I don't like what he showed me but I felt weird for the first time because it was like true, like it wasn't just a mirage, an illusion of everything. I touched my cheeks and I it felt wet. Wait. Was my cheek wet because of the fox that licked me that time!? That's so— I don't know what to say.
His mirage looked so real I don't even know what to say. I looked at the magician once again and I froze when I gaze at his eyes and they were already looking at me. I immediately looked away first and I heard him chuckle even if it's from afar.
"May we know your name, Magician?" My Mother spoke up.
He looked at my Mother and smiled. I felt my heart is starting to pound so fast it's going to lose control. His smile is making my heart weak, it was a warm melting smile that I would like to call it.
"Wynter, Your Majesty. My name is Wynter."
"Oh my God! He's name is so nice!"
"Gosh I'm falling for him already!"
"Me too!"
But my heart skipped a beat when he looked at me directly at my eyes and smiled. "Nice to meet you," I was like… feeling my nose bleeding because of his sexy voice that covered up my mind. And all I can here right now is the moment that he was saying his name.
After that show we went back to the castle and I really want to rest. I went inside my room and change my gown into a clothes. I'm like the only princess in the whole Land of Nievaries that doesn't like wearing gowns! I'm turning eighteen and I still don't want to wear gowns. Like I'm grossed out.
After I change my clothes I got out of my room and went to our library to get some books. I went inside the library and I took all of the books that involves everything about mirage, illusion, and magic too. I went back and in my room and read all of those books at my balcony. It was past midnight when I finished all of those books and I haven't learned anything about his powers! Like source of mirage, where can I get it, flutes that can give you an image of mirage! Something like that. I couldn't even find any.
So I decided to sleep. But… It's already damn dawn! But I still couldn't sleep! His voice saying his name "Wynter" just couldn't get out of my head! I tried to sleep again but… I still failed! It was already sunrise and… I didn't even have any sleep! Argh! I am so mad right now I don't even want to see that magician! Because of him I couldn't even sleep! His voice, his face completely annoys me so bad!
I got up from my bed and took a shower before going down. I put on my gown and my heels, my tiara and some make up to cover all of the dark circles under my eyes! Damn it! But I'm so white it couldn't even blend in at all! I have no choice but go down with the face like this! I wonder how will my Mother react. She saw me with this kind of "old hag" look when the last biggest snowflake fall in the Land of Nievaries.
"Oh Snow—Ah!" She screamed. I just rolled my eyes and sat down.
"What happened to your face darling!? You look like an old hag! Did you stay up late last night?"
"Yeah, Snow. What's wrong. You barely sleep late like this. You only do that like when you are home with a sack of books to read." I just rolled my eyes again so that I wouldn't mind everything!
"I couldn't sleep, Mother." I said.
"Nightmare again?" I shook my head decided not to tell her the truth. Like I'm going crazy because of the name of that magician!
Damn! I don't want to be in someone's illusion again!
"It was nothing. A word— more like a name just wouldn't get out of my head."
I started eating and quickly finished off my food. I drank that water beside me when I my Father spoke up again.
"Hmmm.. you mean the name of the magician last night?" I quickly covered my mouth to prevent myself from bursting out the water inside of my mouth!
"Hey, Snow!" My Mother.
Damn! Was I that easy to read? When I drank the water again I tried to act calm but both of them looked at me the look of "Seriously?"
I shook my head calmly because I don't even want to over react! "Of course not, why would be?" Yes it is him! It is definitely him! It is damn that Wynter guy!
"Hmmm.. I thought I was right. But quickly finish your food. The carriage is already waiting outside." Said Father and I just nodded.
I kissed both of my parents before walking iut of the dining area and gone outside. I went inside the carriage and the horse started running steadily. I looked at the window while we were moving and I saw all of the villagers so happy. We were passing by at the market when I took a glimpse of a familiar guy.
I handsome magician named Wynter.
