Morning arrived. Most people love the beginning of a new day, but I don't. Every morning reminds me that I share one body with two other souls.

My name is Alaxia. I am one of three sisters trapped inside the same body. People think we're one person, but they have no idea that three different souls live within us.

Some people blame me for what happened that night. My sisters, Mary and Alaze, tell me it wasn't my fault, but I still carry the guilt. If only we had made different choices, everything might have been different.

This is our story.

THE PAST

Our parents were witches who hunted demons. Our home was filled with ancient books, magical weapons, and dark secrets.

There was one room in the house that we were never allowed to enter. Every time we asked about it, our parents refused to answer.

One stormy night, while our parents were away, curiosity got the better of us. Rain poured from the sky, thunder shook the house, and we decided to open the forbidden door...

That single decision changed our lives forever.

"Guys, aren't you curious about what's inside that room?" I asked, pointing toward the forbidden door.

The hallway fell silent.

The old wooden door stood at the end of the corridor, covered with strange symbols. It looked darker than usual, as if it were hiding something alive.

"I don't know," Alaze whispered. "I'm scared."

To be honest, I was scared too. My heart pounded in my chest, but curiosity was stronger than fear.

They say curiosity killed the cat.

Maybe they're right.

"Maybe this is why we have our powers," I said. "We have magic, but we've never been taught how to use it."

"You know we're forbidden to enter that room," Alexa reminded us.

"Oh, come on," I sighed. "We all want to know what's behind that door."

"B-but..." Alaze stammered.

"No more excuses," Alexa said, gently pushing us toward the door. "Let's go."

"I have a really bad feeling about this," I admitted.

"Scaredy-cat," Alexa teased with a smile.

I followed them anyway. I didn't want to be left behind.

As we stood before the door, I noticed glowing runes carved into the wooden frame.

"It's protected by a powerful spell," I whispered.

I raised my hand and spoke an ancient spell that came to me as if I had always known it.

The glowing symbols flickered.

One by one, the magical locks clicked open.

Only one lock remained.

I reached for the golden doorknob.

"Are you both ready?" I asked.

Neither of my sisters answered.

I took a deep breath...

...and turned the handle.

Another stormy night covered the kingdom in darkness.

Rain poured relentlessly from the sky, and the wind howled through the palace halls as if warning everyone that something extraordinary was about to happen.

From inside the royal chambers came the agonizing cries of a woman.

Queen Claire was giving birth.

"My Queen, please... push harder!" the royal midwife urged.

"I... can't!" Claire cried, tears streaming down her face. "Ahhh!"

Outside the chamber, King Adrian paced back and forth. Every scream from his wife pierced his heart.

He wanted nothing more than to be by her side, but tradition forbade it.

Please, let Claire and our children be safe, he prayed silently.

Then, after what felt like an eternity...

A baby's cry echoed through the room.

Then another.

And another.

"They're boys!" the midwife announced joyfully. "Three healthy princes!"

The king rushed inside.

Queen Claire lay exhausted against her pillows, her face pale and covered in sweat. Despite her exhaustion, she smiled as she cradled two of the newborn princes. The third rested peacefully in the midwife's arms.

"May I hold him?" King Adrian asked softly.

"Of course, Your Majesty," the midwife replied, placing the baby gently into his arms.

The moment the tiny prince touched his father's hands, a strange warmth spread through the king's heart.

He smiled.

"He looks just like me," he whispered with a chuckle. "But he has his mother's beautiful eyes."

For a brief moment, the room was filled with peace.

Then the king's smile faded.

He looked at Queen Claire with sadness in his eyes.

"My love... I'm sorry."

Claire already knew what he meant.

"I know," she whispered, fighting back tears. "Please... just give me a few more minutes with our sons."

The king nodded.

Their love had broken an ancient law.

And now, their children would pay the price.

When the time came, three royal guardians entered the room.

Queen Claire held her sons tightly before kissing each of them goodbye.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as the guardians carried the babies away.

The eldest prince would be taken to the Realm of Darkness.

The second prince would be raised in the Realm of Light.

The youngest prince would journey to the Realm of Life.

Separated from birth, each prince would grow up unaware that he had two brothers.

One day, when their hidden powers awakened, destiny would bring them together once more.

But whether they would save the kingdoms...

...or destroy them...

remained a mystery.

Queen Claire remained frozen on the bed long after the guardians had disappeared. The nursery that had been filled with the cries of newborns was now painfully silent.

"I didn't even get to watch them sleep," she whispered, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I didn't get to sing them a lullaby or tell them how much I love them."

King Adrian walked over and gently held her hand.

"They will be safe," he said, though he wasn't sure if he believed his own words. "The guardians have sworn to protect them until the day their powers awaken."

Claire looked at him with tear-filled eyes.

"But what if they forget us?" she asked. "What if they grow up believing we abandoned them?"

The king lowered his head. That question had haunted him ever since the prophecy was revealed.

"They may forget our faces," he said quietly, "but they will always carry our blood... and our love."

At that moment, the palace doors burst open.

An old woman dressed in a dark cloak entered the royal chamber. Her silver hair flowed over her shoulders, and she carried an ancient staff carved with glowing symbols.

Everyone in the room immediately bowed.

"The High Oracle," one of the maidens whispered.

The Oracle stepped closer to the king and queen, her expression grave.

"The prophecy has begun," she said. "The princes have left the palace, but their journey has only just started."

"What do you mean?" King Adrian asked.

"The day will come when the three princes meet three extraordinary sisters," the Oracle replied. "Their destinies are tied together by an ancient curse older than this kingdom itself."

Queen Claire wiped away her tears.

"Will our sons return to us?"

The Oracle closed her eyes for a moment.

"I cannot answer that," she said softly. "The future is hidden. I see love, sacrifice, betrayal... and a great darkness rising. Only when the six destinies become one will the truth be revealed."

The room fell silent.

Outside, lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder.

Far away, in three different directions, the newborn princes were carried toward their separate destinies.

None of them knew they had brothers.

None of them knew that one day, their paths would cross with three sisters who shared a single body.

And when that day came...

The fate of every kingdom would change forever.

Chapter 3: A New Morning

Morning arrived.

Golden sunlight filtered through the tall trees, casting mysterious shadows across my bedroom floor. The soft breeze drifting through the open window carried the scent of fresh flowers, making the room feel peaceful.

If only my life was as peaceful as this morning.

"Mmm..." a sleepy voice murmured.

It was Alaze.

She stretched her arms and yawned before smiling.

"Morning, sisters."

"Morning," Alexa and I replied together.

Alaze walked into the bathroom as usual. She loved taking long showers, and today was no different. Nearly thirty minutes later, she stepped out wearing a fluffy white robe, her damp hair resting on her shoulders.

"So," she asked, "who's leading today?"

The three of us shared one body, but only one soul could control it at a time. Every morning, we decided whose turn it was.

"I'll lead today," I answered.

Alexa smiled.

"Good luck."

I sighed.

"It's going to be another long day."

I walked to the wardrobe and stared at the rows of expensive clothes.

"Sometimes I wonder what a normal life feels like."

Neither of them answered.

"On one hand, I own one of the biggest companies in the kingdom. I spend my days attending meetings, signing contracts, and pretending everything is perfect."

I paused.

"On the other hand... I'm cursed."

I closed my eyes.

"Every day I wake up hearing two voices in my head. Every day I have to pretend I'm someone I'm not."

I forced a smile.

"I just want one normal day."

Alexa crossed her arms.

"And don't forget the prophecy."

I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, don't remind me."

I recited the ancient words from memory.

'Three boys, one blood. Break the bond that keeps us bound.'

"What kind of riddle is that?" I groaned. "That old witch could have explained it better."

Alexa laughed.

"Come on, Lexia. You know none of us understands it."

"Exactly! It makes no sense."

"Will you two stop arguing?" Alaze sighed.

Within seconds, Alexa and I were talking over each other.

"You always think you're right!"

"Because I usually am!"

"Oh, really?"

"Enough!" Alaze shouted.

The room became silent.

"You two fight like little children... and you're older than me."

Alexa and I looked at each other before laughing.

"Fine," Alexa said.

"You can lead today."

"Good," I replied with a grin.

After getting dressed, I slipped into a fitted red business suit with matching heels. I left my long hair flowing naturally down my back before grabbing my handbag.

Outside, a sleek black car was already waiting.

As we drove through the city, people hurried to work without knowing who was sitting behind the tinted windows.

The car stopped in front of Royal Crescent Holdings, the largest company in the kingdom. The glass building towered over everything around it.

Most people believed the mysterious CEO was a man.

None of them knew the truth.

The CEO...

...was me.

Employees greeted me respectfully as I entered the building.

"Good morning, Ma'am."

"Good morning."

I walked into my private office and immediately began reading reports and signing documents.

Sometimes being successful wasn't exciting.

It was lonely.

A knock interrupted my thoughts.

"Come in."

The door opened.

Claira, my secretary and closest friend, entered carrying several files.

Unlike everyone else, she knew our secret.

"Morning, girls," she said with a smile.

"Morning."

"Hi."

"Hey."

She placed the files on my desk before raising an eyebrow.

"So..."

"Any progress?"

I knew exactly what she meant.

"The curse?"

I sighed.

"No."

"We've searched ancient libraries, questioned powerful witches, and even spoken to magical creatures."

"None of them know how to break it."

Claira remained quiet.

Then she whispered,

"But... what about the prophecy?"

Before I could answer, my phone vibrated on the desk.

Unknown Number.

I frowned before answering.

A cold voice spoke only one sentence.

"We've found one of the three boys."

My heart stopped.
