While princess Ashy was at a deep sleep, in her dream she saw a huge and powerful light that covers her whole body. She felt warm inside as if like she’s burning alive. Then suddenly, she heard a voice that comforted her and gave her strength. The voice was so lovely and gentle just like a lullaby. She couldn’t understand what the voice was saying but somehow it seems as if it was calling a name. When the voice became clearer to her she finally understood what it was saying. It said “Wake up my dear Rex….” She thought that she could be dreaming and this could be part of her dream.
Suddenly she heard a loud splash of water and she started to feel cold. She opened her eyes and look at the surroundings but she couldn’t see anything clearer. It was just hurting her eyes the more she opens it widely. But when it gets clearer to her she saw someone by her side holding her hand.
It was an old lady, with a gentle and loving face, that seems worried about her.
She recognized the voice; it was the voice that’s inside her dream. The old woman was asking her if she’s alright and how she’s feeling. The princess still clueless about the things going on around her and start to asked herself who’s this old lady that’s talking to her. She asked the old lady “Did I know you? And who is Rex?” The old lady seems surprised about the things she asked and looked like she was going to freak out. “Vince! Come here! Please Hurry!” the old lady shouted with fear in her eyes. Then suddenly a man came rushing in and asked the old lady what was happening. “I think Rex bumped his head while taking a shower and forgets who he is! Oh God, please help our poor Rex!” the old woman exclaimed and she started to cry. The man tried to get closer to the princess but she freaked out and pushed the man very hard.
The princess gave her all strength to stand up. When she finally have stood up that’s when she noticed that she was actually naked. She shouted very loud as if it could destroy the whole place and started to run very fast. She saw an open door and hurriedly went in. Inside the room she saw a blanket and she covered herself with it. The shocked and frightened princess Ashy suddenly felt that something was wrong with her. She looked at her body and with a great surprised; she saw that her body have changed into a man’s body! She became a man!
“It can’t be real! It must be a dream! I’m just dreaming! When I close my eyes all will be going back to normal!” the princess repeatedly saying it to herself as she trying to comfort herself to this shocking event. Suddenly, the man together with the old lady came in the room. They wanted to get closer to her but she shouted at them saying “Please go away! Just leave me alone!” and she hid herself in the blanket just like a little child who’s afraid of something scary. The man held her close and said “Hey bro, let me take you to the hospital”. She eventually lost her strength and she fainted.
When she opened her eyes she saw Madam Rosselle smiling at her. The princess hugged her and said “Now, I’m finally awake.”
“No, your majesty, you’re dreaming right now” said Madam Rosselle. The princess was surprised at what Madam Rosselle had said to her. She yelled at her saying “No! Don’t talk nonsense! I’m not dreaming alright! Here with you is where I really belong!” After saying this Madam Rosselle smiled at her and touched her head. This is what she always does when the princess starts to burst out with anger. “Don’t worry my dear princess. Don’t be afraid. The world your living now is where you can be safe. This world is different from the world you had been to. And although, your body have changed you’re still our princess who have a great courage to stand on her own. And I always believe in the strength of your heart” said Madam Rosselle as her eyes sparkled like stars at night. “No! Don’t leave me here! I can’t live without you. There are so many things I want to ask you. I have to find the king and queen. What happen to Terropia? Why am I here!?” said the princess with a teary eyes. She tried to touch Madam Rosselle but she suddenly disappeared.
Then suddenly a warm and gentle touched awakens her. When she opened her eyes she saw the old lady watching over her. The old lady warmly smiles at her and hold her hand. She somehow felt at ease on that moment. “I’m glad you’re finally awake” said the old lady and hugs her tightly. A man enters the room with a big smile on his face. “Hey bro, are you finally at your old self now? I don’t want to see my little brother acting so strangely stupid anymore!” said the man. He comes closer to her and rubs her hair just like a big brother to his little brother. She felt uncomfortable with that so she pushed his hand and said “Please don’t touch me!” The man sat beside her and put his arms around her shoulder and said “Oh, now you’re acting like a girl! You’re giving me a goose bump!” and he laughed out loud. The princess was very annoyed with the man as she was trying to push the man away from her. Then she noticed that the old lady was smiling while looking at them with her teary eyes. Somehow she now understands what madam Rosselle has said to her in her dream. That her new world is not bad after all, they’re just like her family in Terropia. They are warm and she somehow feels happy inside.
