"Change, like sunshine, can be a friend or a foe, a blessing or a curse, a dawn or a dusk."
                                  -William Arthur Ward.

The wooden doors swung open in perfect synchronization. The loud groan of the wood filled your ears, causing your stomach to sink in dread.

It seemed as though the room had gone deathly silent, even the stone castle appeared to not make a sound as two men entered into the open space of the ballroom.

The first man you noticed, had hair as dark as night, his skin as pale as the moon. His eyes glowed an amber orange color, different shades of tangerine swirled in his pupils.

He wore dark clothing, which appeared to be made of shining silk. A navy blue button down shirt covered his chest, and black trousers, similar to Jimin's, covered his legs.

The other man was a few inches taller than his companion. Hair of a striking cherry red color, was styled smoothly, framing his handsome face.

His clothes reminded you of Taehyung's, except they were not white. The robes that encased his body were made of an onyx black material. A hood covered his head, the dark color contrasting his pale face.

His eyes also glowed a bright orange color, amber speckling throughout his strong gaze.

You frowned deeply.

Have these people never seen sunlight before? They were so pale!

That's when you remembered.

Their kingdom was cursed in darkness, sunlight was probably very rare behind the great stone wall.

Jimin was the first to speak.

"Yoongi, it's good to see you again, my friend."

The silver haired boy walked towards the raven haired male and wrapped his arms around him in a hug.

The ravenette simply rolled his eyes affectionately and lazily returned his friends embrace.

The red headed man smiled at the scene before him, shaking Jimin's hand once the prince released Yoongi.

"Hoseok. Always good to see you."

Hoseok nodded, his orange gaze trailing to yours.

"Oh. There's a guest?"

Your eyes widened slightly, heart beat thumping loudly in your ears. You offered a small wave, watching as Yoongi, turned to eye you curiously, his eyebrow raising slightly.

"A woman? Is she one of Jin's whores?"

Your brows raised and your blue eyes widened impossibly further. He was supposed to be a prince!? He had terrible manners!

Taehyung took a single step forward, his brows furrowing together in anger.

"She is here as my guest."

Yoongi cocked his head to the side as he stared you down, with curious eyes.

"Ah. My apologies, maiden."

You nodded slightly, trying to maintain your composure.

"It's alright."

Hoseok released a chuckled and pulled the black hood off of his head, revealing even more of his cherry red hair.

"You mustn't think ill of Yoongi, my lady. If you knew prince Jin, you would understand his genuine curiosity."

So, he wasn't trying to insult you? He was just asking a question? Dang. Jin must be a total douche bag if everyone in the land can't stand him.

You smiled at the sorcerer.

"If he is as bad as I've heard, then I'm sure i can understand."

Hoseok nodded.

"I'll have my footmen bring your luggage to your rooms, so you can prepare for the party tonight." Jimins voice spoke softly.

There was a party?! Crap! You had no idea how to handle yourself around normal people! How the heck were you supposed to hang around important people all night long, and not have your eyes noticed! It really, the first thing people look at is your eyes!

The raven haired prince only nodded, still staring at you.

You began to grow uncomfortable under his strong gaze. He was staring at you so throughly that it almost made you feel self-conscious.

When he broke eye contact with you, he turned to face Jimin.

"Thank you."

Jimin only nodded in return, moving his golden eyes to meet yours.

"Will you be staying in the same room as Taehyung?"

You opened your mouth to protest, but the elvish king's deep voice spoke before you could.

"Yes."

Your gaze snapped to the blond and you eyed him curiously. You had only known him for three days. The last thing you wanted was to share a room with him! You barely even knew him!

Taehyung glanced at you only for a moment before turning back to Jimin.

"She'll stay with me."

Jimins eyebrows shot up, at his friend and a chuckle escaped his mouth.

"Very well. I'll have my handmaidens bring her a gown for tonight-"

"There's no need."

Taehyung cut the prince off, earning curious glances from everyone (including you) in the room.

"I've already prepared her a gown. Since she is representing my kingdom, she should dress like my people."

Jimin raised an eyebrow, annoyance written on his features.

"Don't you think people will grow suspicious of an elf with normal ears? It would be best if she dawned the colors of my kingdom, no one would question her-"

Taehyung frowned and shook his head.

"She is a citizen of my kingdom, so she shall wear my garments. My decision is final."

Jimin released a sigh and nodded.

"As you wish."

------------------------

The music played throughout the ballroom smoothly, each chord of the piano and violins were matched in perfect harmony.

The sounds were soothing as they entered and left your ears.

An annoyed sigh escaped your lips as you moved your hand to rub your eyes once again, the itching in them nearly driving you to insanity.

Taehyung had given you eyedrops. He told you they were magical and would temporarily change the color of your eyes, to a deep lavender. The potion worked but the side effects were horrible.

Your eyes were itchy and they burned whenever you blinked or squinted, it was like having contacts in except far more uncomfortable.

"Lady Y/N, you shouldn't rub your eyes, the potion will wear off faster."

Your now lavender eyes raised to meet the golden orbs of Prince Jungkook.

His body was no longer clad in golden armor, but instead a white button down shirt, which was tucked into his black pants which graces the outline of his long, muscular legs. A golden crown was placed upon his head, causing his chestnut hair to stand out. In his right hand he held a small purple bottle of some kind of liquid which sloshed around at his movements.

Your lower lip pulled out into a slight pout at his words.

"They're itchy." You whined.

Jungkook chuckled at your childish behavior, a lopsided grin forming on his face.

"I know. When Jimin and I were young we would always sneak into Namjoon's laboratory and play with that exact potion. Needless to say Jimin and I had itchy eyes for weeks."

You chuckled slightly at his confession.

"This will help the itch." the chestnut prince stated as he handed you the purple bottle in his hands. "Namjoon made it for us when he found out about our endeavors."

"Sounds like you were quite the adventurer."

Jungkook nodded.

"Of course."

You smiled brightly at him, taking the vial from his hands

"Thank you, your highness."

The prince shook his head.

"Call me Jungkook."

You nodded and returned your gaze to the bottle.

"I honestly don't know how to thank you for this."

Jungkook merely waved his hand and shook his head once again.

"Think nothing of it. Let's just say you owe me one."

You nodded again and offered him your best smile.

"Deal."

Jungkook smiled at you and began taking in your appearance.

You wore a royal blue gown. The modest neckline was accented with white diamonds that hung just below the clavicle only showing the prince a hint of your (s/c) skin. Your sleeves were made of a slightly lighter shade of blue lace, long enough to reach your wrists. Your skirt was long and sleek clinging to your body modestly, just enough to leave room for the imagination.

You (h/c) hair was curled and styled in an updo, leaving a few strands out to frame your face and fall to your neck.

You wore a necklace made of silver. The royal crest of the western kingdom engraved into the precious metal.

Jungkook almost smirked.

Taehyung was already branding you as his.

The prince's eyes began to trail down your form once agin, before finally staring back to your face.

Your purple eyes were still studying the bottle, your delicate hands running over the glass.

"Prince Jin!"

Your eyes widened at the sudden exclamation. You grabbed your chest in shock and began to catch your breath.

What was that?!

The squealing seemed to grow louder, all the women in the room began flocking to one particular spot on the dance floor.

Your eyebrows raised in curiosity, eyes trailing over to Jungkook, who wore an amused smile on his face as he shook his head at the sight before him.

Your purple gaze landed on Jimin, who looked the opposite of happy, a deep frown resting on his handsome features as he stared at the behavior of the women in the court.
He wore almost the same thing he did earlier, but his shirt was now made of black silk material, and his jacket was almost as golden as the crown atop his head.

Yoongi, who stood beside the prince, merely rolled his eyes and released a scoff, patting Jimin on the back reassuringly. The raven prince wore a white button down shirt,  a red suit coat covering the light silk, his pants were black with golden stripes down both sides, a golden crown resting on his head.

Then your eyes trailed off to the corner, slowly coming into contact with Hoseok's deep orange orbs. He stared at your straight in the eyes, his gaze never once wavering off of you. You shuddered. Your mind searching for any possible way to escape his captivating stare.

"Hello." Your lavender eyes snapped away from the death glare of the sorcerer only to be met with a pair of soft golden eyes, and a handsome face. "You must be the lady Y/N."

You nodded slowly. Who was this guy.

You took in his clothing. His hair was a shade of dusty rose, that was combed to the side neatly. He wore a white silk shirt with a pink ascot and jacket, his pants were also white. A crown of gold rested on his head, and around his neck hung a golden necklace with the Northern kingdoms crest.

"I am."

You stated unsure.

The man only offered you a breathtaking smile, offering you his hand.

You eyed him curiously, placing your small hand into his larger one.

He smirked at you and brought your hand up to meet his full lips as he softly kissed the back of your hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, My lady." His smirked only grew. "My name is Jin."
