Frowning as he stared at the kingdom, hugging himself. The moon has risen a while ago, leaving stars to decorate the sky.

No one is up.

Why would they be to see him?

His ears tilt back, dropping sadly. He holds out his hand, in the palm lifting just a small bit of blue magic.

He's the prince. The younger prince. The one in the shadows.

Prince Hoseok is a royal hybrid who has the magic ability to possess shadows. A useless ability, he thinks.

But his father told him it will come with time.

But when will time come for him?

Growling at the thought, he huffs sadly and turns, returning to his room. The room is decorated to his royal ability. His place in the family.

The little brother.

The shadow and the light.

He looks at himself in the mirror, scowling at his reflection. His night blue hair waving over his forehead, the moon shining on his snow-pale skin.

Even his dark eyes never reflect the amount of warmth and love that his older brother has.

His are cold and full of hatred.

And swirling within the moonlight that reflects in the mirror, appears someone else besides his reflection.

It's still him. But a darker version.

Someone who he's seen for a while.

Staring at his darker self, he drops his head a little to the side. His reflection remains upright.

His darker reflection has eyes of which the iris is blue, the outside pitch black. It's an ocean surrounded by the void. With hair as black as the night, highlights in shades of blue.

His skin is almost grey, looking dead around the eyes with a half-smirk. The corners of his lips pull up just barely, eyes gleaming with mischief.

This version of him. This part of him.

It's following him.

Every time he meets a mirror, every time he meets his brother. There is always this evil part of him that wants to get rid of his smile. To step forth from the background.

But he can't.

From his own grey wolf ears is a hint of black and white. But those of his reflection are black with grey.

Sighing, Hoseok steps away from his mirror and shakes his head.

"Not tonight..." He mumbles.

He turns further away and leaves his room, shutting the door quietly. He walks the dark hallways, lit with torches. The door to his brother's room is open...

Hoseok peeks inside, seeing his older brother soundly asleep. And in the mirror, when he looks, he sees the black-haired wolf stare back at him.

Slits in the reflection's pupils this time.

It seems that with every look, the reflection becomes more and more hostile. Angrier and more fed up.

Just like him.

The blonde wolf hybrid is asleep, soft calm breathing.

Hoseok pushes the door further open, silently coming in. He kneels down besides his brother's bed. Even asleep he gives light.
