This is NOT your typical romance story. This involves magic, different
dimensions, and intense, forbidden love. If you cannot handle
alternative universe, then by all means click on the back button.
You've been warned just this once...On a darker note, may Aaliyah watch
over the budding musical talents from Above.

Pure
Chapter 1

"Your Highness, you MUST find a bride or else the country will fall
into Lord Timberlake's hands!" Cube, the servant, cried out. The blonde
heir sighed and collapsed on his bed.

"But Cube, how can I find a bride if I want a man in my life?" he
whispered. Cube said nothing but sighed. "Go."

"But Master--"

"GO!" he shouted as a vase smashed against the stone wall.

Cube nodded and bowed. "Very well, Master."

He lay there on the silk bed while tears trickled down his face. Why
oh WHY was he born to rule over the magical realm of Keiastairre?
(Kay-uh-stair) Why couldn't one of his cousins rule or his brother?
Because I had to be born first, he mentally groaned, if only there was
a place where one could marry whom he wishes.

Cube knocked on the door. "Master, a fortune teller has come. Would you
like your fortune told?" he asked.

"Yes, send her in." he mumbled. An elderly woman wandered in. "Good
evening, madam. Could you tell my future?"

"For as small price, your highness." She extended a bony hand. "33
gold." He dropped the coins into the woman's outstretched palm. "I see
a true love that even OUR magic cannot daunt. But this love lives in
another realm. A mortal like us but no magical elements whatsoever."
She paused before continuing. "Great Conflict. But that is all I see."
She left without another word.

He sat, slightly dazed of what the woman's words meant. If I run, I
will be able to see that love, he thought. He suddenly sat up. I'm
going to  the Other Realm tonight, he decided.

*~Later that night~*
"Master, lights ou--aah!" screamed Cube.

"Cube, what is it?" asked the King.

"M-master has run away!" the frightened Cube stuttered.

"What?!" roared the King.

*~the Prince~*
He huffed. Faster and faster he ran towards the rip between their world
and the other. Without another thought, he leaped through it, tumbling
into the other dimension.

He landed on the soft, almost white sand of a beach. It was at that
moment that Prince Nickolas Carter had died and Nickolas Carter was
born.
