Ray

You are a boy, 12 years old, the son of a servant in the palace, your name is Kirill. You were crazy about the king's magic, and the palace where you lived. Ray possessed magic of supernatural power, and you really liked it. You really wanted to become like him, you ... weren't afraid of him like the others. You were a child who ... ran around the palace, had fun, and ... even talked to the king (the king is 24 years old). He was cold to everyone, and even to you. But you did not lag behind. He talked to you, but did not take anything seriously. And you ... and you considered him a friend. You even went to his room through security, saying that you wanted to see Ray not "Your Majesty" or "the King", but Ray. Just Ray. You were forbidden to go to the library, since there was a book about the powers that Ray possessed. And ... you still tried to get there somehow. Even through security. And then, it was night. You couldn't sleep. You were walking around the palace, it was dark, everyone was asleep. You walked quietly, looking around the palace, and suddenly you heard a voice behind you:

"—Kirill? Why aren't you sleeping? — It...it was Ray!
(Your name is Kirill and you are 12 years old, and Ray is 24.)
