A Laughing Kiss

"Oh, th-this?" Miureann stammered as he took out the fabric, "Hey, you found it!" the other figure said, the figure's voice wasn't comprehensible, was it a girl or a boy? The voice was high-pitched like a girl, but fancy like a boy, happy like a girl, but eager like a boy.

Miureann gave the fabric to the figure, the figure took it, thanked him and skipped away, "Hey, wait! Is there a village or a town nearby? Where are you coming from?" Miureann asked. "Yes, there is a village here. I am coming from the shed you must have seen earlier. You should walk 21 steps straight and turn to the right, 30 more steps, and you are out of this forest, I'll be taking my leave now." The figure instructed, Miureann muttered a thanks and did as the voice said, just like the voice spoke, he was out of the forest and there was the beautiful sight of life.

Miureann quickly ran to the nearest house and knocked on the door, "Excuse me, could i get some water?" he called out, the door opened slowly with a creaking sound. There stood an old lady, "Why yes, my child. Come in, you don't look from around here." she stepped aside for him to enter, delighted, Miureann happily stepped inside.

"What's your name?" The old lady questioned, "I am Miureann Cullen. What's your name?" he replied, "Oho, Miureann, you say? I am Lana Aurelia." she responded while giving him a glass of water, Miureann drank the water thirstily. When lady Lana asked how he had come into this small village, he told his story, though he couldn't possibly remember who hit his head, he knew only Stevie could do such a thing.

Lady Lana gave him a knowing look, she turned around and grabbed a cotton ball, she made Miureann stand on a stool as she cleaned his scratches and wounds. But to her shock, as she was cleaning his knees, where the most blood was spilling, the blood wasn't crimson like everyone else's blood, it was a lighter red and anyone with good eyes could see the drastic change.

"Son, you didn't say that you were from the royal family. . ." Lady Lana whispered, "I'm not." "Your blood is purely of royalty! My eyes don't lie." Lady Lana declared, after a full-blown argument, Lady Lana held a ritual in which they could see the birth of Miureann in a hologram created from souls.

As the ritual took place, the hologram slowly started to appear, making the scenery of a hospital, "It's a public hospital, I told you I'm not royalty!" Miureann exclaimed with pride, knowing he was right. Or was he? The queen was going into labor, soon later, the baby was born, skin pale and bright like Miureann's, ears long and eyes blue like Miureann's, surprisingly, the queen neglected the baby and ordered the doctor to take it away.

Miureann's eyes widened, he was hurt.
