What could happen? Honestly...
Settings & Atmosphere
And that’s exactly what Grace Alexander thought when she found that dusty old book in her deceased mother’s attic. So she read it.
“Bring together my prince and me
Let him fall on bended knee,
I summon him to my side
So that he may take me to be his destined bride,”
Simple enough right? Wrong. That night while Grace slept, something came out of that book.
A man.
A prince who, as the spell determined, is hell bent on making her his queen. And if that wasn’t bad enough, Grace also has to get him back into the book without her crush finding out. Or her worst enemy!
But could this ‘out of this world’ prince actually steal the heart of his intended, or will her crush decide it’s time to step up and take her for his own?

"I swear its like talking to a five year old," Grace cursed under her breath. "I dont know how things do it. They just do. Okay? Arent there things where you're from that people just accept? They dont need to know how it works, they just know it does?" she knew she was getting irritated but she couldnt help it.Created by Grace Alexander (Temperance Ayse) 109d 24hours ago. [ ]
"How is it played back without magic?" Nero demanded, putting his hands on his hips. "How could you possibly record sound without crystals or a mage? Or are your minstrels also mages? Your world makes no sense!" He whined, almost like a child would. "At least mine abides by the rules of logic! This world of yours is so bizarre!"Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 109d 24hours ago.

"Um...... sweetie?" Cassie said, looking between Grace, who was shaking her head, and Nero, who had the curiosity of a child. Cassie smiled. "Im going to go to the bathroom," she said, getting up and leaving the table."We dont have minstrels. Okay well we do but they're alot different to yours. But at the dance, the music has already been recorded and is played back. That way we dont need minstrels," Grace explained, trying to keep her patience under control.

"Dance?" Nero asked, tilting his head. Of course they had those where he was from, but they were separated by gender and rigid in structure. He very much doubted that the dances here were anything like his own, if what he had experienced so far had been any indication. "What kind of instruments do the mistrals play? Lute, panpipe?"Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 110d 0hours ago. [ ]
Grace rolled her eyes as Nero spoke about magic again. What part of 'There's no magic here' didnt he understand? Shaking her head, she took a drink of her own milkshake. "So," Cassie said, swallowing. "Grace what's the plan for the dance this Saturday?" she asked, looking at her friend who shrugged."I dont know if Im going to go," Grace replied, twirling the straw in her drink. "Kind of a waste of time if you ask me."

Nero pouted, looking over at the woman. He could use magic, it existed. She was wrong. Just because her country, world, was so backwards that it didn't use such an easy way to do things doesn't mean that it was not real. Taking a sip, absentmindedly, of the drink, a slow smile spread on his lips. The drink was really good. "It must be magic," He said, looking down at the white drink in his hands.Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 110d 0hours ago. [ ]
Cassie raised an eyebrow at Nero's words and Grace slapped a hand over his mouth before smiling nervously at her friend. "He's a little not right in the head," she mouthed, whispering a little too. She smiled as Cassie went back to her drink. "Theres no magic here," she said to Nero, much like a mother would to its child. She then released his mouth and took a seat next to him.Created by Grace Alexander (Temperance Ayse) 110d 1hours ago. [ ]
Nero looked down at the drink, suspiciously. "Are you sure?" He asked, taking the cup and looking down at the strange concoction. It looked like witch's brew and milk. "It's cold," He said, looking up at Grace with wide eyes. "What kind of magic is this? I was under the impression you had no magic in this world?"Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 110d 1hours ago. [ ]
Cassie looked at Nero for a few moments longer before grinning. "Alrighty then," she said, taking a seat in the spare booth nearby. "As long as you dont plan on doing anything bad to her, I wont have to hurt you. Grace has been through enough and she doesnt need some scumbag coming in and trying to use her." She looked up as Grace came back over, carrying three milkshakes. "Thanks sweetie," she said, taking one of the drinks."Here," Grace said, handing one of the other two to Nero. "Its a milkshake. They're nice."

Nero looked at the girl, blinking in surprise. Were all the women here so forceful? "My intentions are all honorable, milady. Do not fear." He said, soothingly. His voice was charming and soothing, laying it on thick as a wool blanket. "I think she is a beautiful woman with excelling wit and charm. She is strong and caring, and I think she will do very well for herself one day," Nero said, raking his fingers through his blond hair. Grace told him not to say anything about her being his bride, so he wouldn't. "And I would be honored to have her affection."Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 110d 23hours ago. [ ]
Cassie pouted as Nero said he wasnt a singer. Albeit oddly, but that was the basic gist of it. "Yeah, Grace is a pretty good singer," she said, teasing her friend and nudging her with her elbow. Grace rolled her eyes."Im going to get a drink," she said, shaking her head and making her way over to the counter to order something from Andrew. Cassie looked at her before looking at Nero.
"Alright buddy. Spill," she said, crossing her arms. "What are your intentions for Gracie?"

"I do not, milady." Nero said, shaking his head. "I am no bard, unlike Lady Grace here, who has a voice of an angel who has taken sweet mercy on all us mere mortals, gifting us with her voice." There was a teasing note in his voice, a little bit of a falsity. The girl's voice was not heavenly, but still pleasant. "I would not know any of the songs if I tried, I think, I am not from your...country."Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 110d 24hours ago. [ ]
Cassie clapped as Grace bowed and then the blonde pulled her friend off stage and back over to Nero. She giggled a little since Grace was blushing from the performance. "What about you Nero?" she asked as they returned. "Do you sing?" Grace looked at Nero before quickly looking away. Why was she blushing? She didnt blush. Ever. She got red in the face when she was angry, but embarrassed wasnt usually a word in her vocabulary.Created by Grace Alexander (Temperance Ayse) 110d 24hours ago. [ ]
Nero linked at the music flowing from the box. This world was very strange, he noted. There was no need for instruments when they had magic boxes. Grace's voice startled him. To be honest, it wasn't the best he'd ever heard. It was sweet and clear, and pleasant to the ear, and the song was heartbreaking. Something inside his chest stirred, but he ignored it, deciding instead to lean against the wall and listen and watch.Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 112d 0hours ago. [ ]
"Ooooo I want this one!" Cassie exclaimed, picking a song for her to sing by herself. Grace was grateful and stepped to the side and out of the limelight. Cassie bopped with the music, waving her hips a little with the beat while Grace covered her eyes. This was so embarrassing. After Cassie had belted out her rendition of Jessica Simpson's "Irresistable", she dragged Grace up and gave her a song without asking. As the music began, Grace took a deep breath.Hands touch, eyes meet
Sudden silence, sudden heat
Hearts leap in a giddy whirl
He could be that boy
But I'm not that girl:
Don't dream too far
Don't lose sight of who you are
Don't remember that rush of joy
He could be that boy
I'm not that girl
Ev'ry so often we long to steal
To the land of what-might-have-been
But that doesn't soften the ache we feel
When reality sets back in
Blithe smile, lithe limb
She who's winsome, she wins him
Gold hair with a gentle curl
That's the girl he chose
And Heaven knows
I'm not that girl:
Don't wish, don't start
Wishing only wounds the heart
I wasn't born for the rose and the pearl
There's a girl I know
He loves her so
I'm not that girl:

Nero, tilted his head. They were going to sing ballads? But they were not minstrels. He doubted very much that Grace had a good voice for re-telling tells. And besides! They possessed no lute, or magic! Where was their music going to come from? She surely wouldn't sing without it, would they? Frown pulling down at the corners of his lips, he sighed, certainly hoping they wouldn't.Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 112d 18hours ago. [ ]
Cassie dragged Grace over to the machine and up onto the makeshift stage her brother had set up. "Come on sweetie," she said, shoving a microphone in her hand and grinning. Grace resisted the urge to groan and smiled back at her friend. "What song shall we sing? "Girls just wanna have fun"? Or maybe "like a virgin"?" Grace shook her head to the last one. No way was her friend going to get her to sing "Im like a virgin. Touched for the very first time," in front of anyone.Created by Grace Alexander (Temperance Ayse) 112d 18hours ago. [ ]
Nero blinked, looking at the Karaoke machine with interest. "What in the world is this contraption?" He asked, really to no one in particular. They have some very odd devices in the world, he thought, his sea-green eyes wide like a child presented with a puzzle game. And he had to wonder why Grace hated it so much. Was it painful? Judging from the look on her friend's faces, it wasn't, but he couldn't tell.Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 114d 10hours ago. [ ]
"Oh no," Grace said softly when Cassie got that familiar look in her eye. Oh no. Please not today. Not now. Not with his worship here."Its Kareoke time!" Cassie exclaimed, going and getting out the machine that Andrew, her brother, had promised Grace he would keep hidden. Oh she was going to get him. "Come on Gracie!" she called through the microphone and the brunette wanted to die. Cassie knew how much she hated crowds, and yet she loved forcing her up in front of them.

Nero raised an eyebrow at the sweet smile she was giving the other man. Was it possible that his woman had a heart? The smile had undertones for his demise, yes, but that was to be expected from a lady such as her. He'd learned that from the Court that a smile was never just a smile for some women. There were different kinds of smiles, sickly sweet ones for people they hated, nice ones for people they liked, sexy ones for people they wanted to bed. And this one displayed some kind of affection for the other boy. It was either brotherly love or romantic, he couldn't tell yet. Something a kin to jealousy bubbled up in his stomach. What did he have that Nero didn't?Created by Nero Black (RowanRed) 115d 13hours ago. [ ]
