[Initialization Complete....]
I think I just passed out.

I woke up in my chambers, sun streaming through the silk curtains. I yawned loudly, passing a hand through my hair, then stopped short.
Why did I stop? Oh, nothing much. I was just surrounded by all of Mirac's royalty. "What are you- When did you-how long have you... Nevermind, what happened?"
"Apparently, you had an awakening." Mother answered.
"What does that mean?"
She then spent the next ten minutes explaining my predicament to me. "So in short, the celestial orbs are real and one of them is in my back?"
"Pretty much, yeah." King Phoenix replied.
"Are you all pulling my legs right now?"
"I wish we were, boy." King Aeon answered.
"But why me? Or the other girl? Why did they wake up? What do they want from us?"
"We don't know, son. The history books have no records of this either."
I sighed in exasperation, pacing around my room. "So what now? I'm supposed to just go on with my life with a celestial orb wedged in my back?"
"Anastasia said she could communicate with the orb." Queen Imelda said.
"That's true. Why don't you give it a try, Lexx."
"O.....Kay?"
I immediately focused on the vast space of my mind, trying to find the strange presence from earlier. It was a bit unnerving, with them practically breathing down my neck but I found it. I was sucked into what I can only assume to be my mind space, completely empty but for the red orb glowing ominously in the middle of the otherwise impeccably white space.
Pressure descended upon me like a boulder as the orb seemingly registered my presence. It felt like I was standing in front of a primordial being, one capable of casting light upon all corners and crevices of my very soul.
And..."Hi." My stupid brain decided this was the best greeting to proceed with. Before I could blink, the orb was directly in my face, circling me like a predator would prey.
[A crown prince with the spirit of an adventurer,interesting]
A voice invaded my thoughts, scaring the soul out of my body. I gulped.
[We might have waited for more worthy successors, however the skies of Mirac is pregnant with impending doom. You will have to do.]
I raised my hand shakily like a timid boy in a classroom. "Uhm, sorry to interrupt but I don't really understand."
[@#$$@$%%@@$@@%#]
"I still don't..."
[Find the others, boy. Let's hope you'll be enough for Mirac's sake]
I was immediately expelled from the space. After clearing my head of the fuzzy feeling that came with it, I found myself gazing into the eyes of mother.
"So, what did it say?"
