Chapter one
"Sire, where will we go if the demons finally invade?", a soldier asks. King Ivan stares at the map on the table, not going to answer the question.
"We'll send our top soldiers to invade the largest force the demons have, which is here, in the south.", he says pointing at the map.
"But Sire, if we do that we'll lose most of them to the Demon Queen.", one soldier speaks up.
"That's why we will send Laxus with them.", Ivan says. "My son is more than capable to fight and keep the men safe."
A messenger runs in ,"Sire!"
"What is it?!", Ivan booms. "This is an important meeting and you dare put the safety of our people on the line?!"
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I just received word from Prince Laxus ;he's taking his three guards to the Demon Country."
"That little son of a bitch…" Ivan growls. "He has a death wish. Send soldiers after him, then. My country won't die so easily even after he is killed."
"Ever, don't yell. We're on enemy grounds." Freed says.
"Tell that to Bixlow!", Evergreen screeches.
"It's not my fault that you're loud.", Bixlow says, snickering.
"All of you quiet. If anyone is to give us away, it is all three of you.", Laxus says.
He is a handsome young man. His tall stature and stern face made the ladies fall to his feet. He'll try them, but isn't pleased all the time. To him, it's the same old thing; they lay under him screaming while he just pleases them. Everyone in the kingdom believes all he cares about is sex, when he just wants to settle down with a good woman. He doesn't want a woman who looks at him like a sex toy. He wants a woman who will mother the future rulers of his kingdom.
Freed Justine is Laxus' top bodyguard. He takes his job seriously. He is a natural born leader of the Raijin Tribe. He is also a spell caster of the 1st Division of Mages of Ivan's People. The Mages of Ivan's People. The Mages of Ivan's People are the strongest soldiers of the Imperial Army. Freed, being the top of the 1st Division, naturally was chosen to be a general, but he chose to start a bodyguard group for Laxus, that is made up of the top Mages of Ivan's People.
Evergreen is the sass mouth of the Raijin Tribe. She always has something to say
ever so loudly, or enthusiastically as she says. She never cared about being part of
the Raijin Tribe, but she likes the fame. Evergreen was the 3rd best of the 1st Division.
The 2nd best was killed in battle with the Demon Queen. No one knew his name. As a
child, she dreamed of being a fairy. She calls herself the most fairylike woman in all
of the kingdom.
Bixlow is the mystery of the Raijin Tribe. He has his own secrets that not even Ivan
knows. He was orphaned at a very young age and his family is his puppets or the
Raijin Tribe. His magic is Seithe Magic. He can control the souls of the wandering
Spirits that became lost on the face of the earth, and encases them into his puppets.
He was the Reaper of the 2nd Division. Reapers are almost terrifying beings in the
Mages of Ivan's people. Bixlow is the most famed one and most feared.
Laxus and his group trek the thick underbrush of No Man's Land, the demons'
territory. They are afraid, well except Laxus. He was the one who brought up the
idea to sneak into the Demon Country.
"Just keep quiet.", Laxus says," Especially you, Evergreen."
"I didn't even say anything", Evergreen says.
"Keep it that way."
"Yes, Mr. Captain, sir", Evergreen says, sarcastically. Laxus rolled his eyes.
"Laxus, I may suggest that'll be much safer if we wait for more soldiers. We
will certainly need backup if we are to run into The Demon Queen.", Freed says.
"I'm not calling quits so soon, Freed. ", Laxus says.
"Your courage is much admirable." Freed says.
"Quiet, Freed. I don't want to hear that. It's disturbing.", Bixlow says.
"Disturbing, Disturbing", his puppets echo after him.
"Can we spilt up? I'm sick of hearing them over and over", Evergreen
whines.
"Good idea. Freed and Bixlow take the left direction. Evergreen, you go left
while I go this way.", Laxus points straight ahead of him. He just wanted to be alone
and far away from the three idiots, "We will meet back here before night fall."
Freed was in tears as Bixlow drags him away. Evergreen was a little to happy to be
Alone, and she walks off.
Finally alone…no more whining and complaining….for now…
Laxus starts on his chosen path. He could finally listen to his surroundings for the
changelings that inhabit the forest.
"Someone help!", a woman's comes out of no where, "Help me! Lisanna!
Elf! Anyone!". Laxus, being quick to answer a woman's plea, ran over to the source.
What he finds surprises him. A demon capturing net on a human woman. Only
demons cannot find freedom in those nets. Unless…
"Oh, thank you! Someone is here! Help me, please!", she begs, "Please. It
hurts." She's a demon.
"What are you?", Laxus asks, "Who are you?". He slowly kneels down beside
her and draws a knife. "I know you're not human" He cuts the net off of her. Once
she was free, she attempts to stand but falls onto Laxus.
"I'm sorry!", she squeaks. She is mesmerizing. Her hair is a flawless silver, her
eyes were the blue of the bluest sky. She has the figure of a model, the perfect
hourglass shape, large breasts, wide hips, and Laxus' favorites, large behind, and
perfectly long legs. Her voice was that of an angel. It was almost like listening to a
song when she spoke. But despite that and her features that were enough for Laxus
to make her his own, she was a demon, a dangerous creature.
"My name is Mirajane.", she says, getting up again. Laxus couldn't help but
stare at her, " Are you with Ivan's army?", Her face darkens as she draws back.
"Leave my kind alone!"
"No, I'm not.", Laxus lies," I wouldn't do a thing."
"Do you know who you are speaking to?", Mirajane demands," I am the ruler
of my people.". Laxus stares at her. This beautiful woman is the terrible Demon
Queen? There's no way. This young woman looks no older than 19 years old, the
Demon Queen is over centuries old. Could this woman be capable of murder even?
Laxus was awestruck by her appearance, she was perfect, the Demon Queen from
what he heard was to look hideous with a hideous and terrible voice that sounded
like scratching nails on a blackboard. This Mirajane was certain to be an angel just at
first sight.
"Please, hear me out.", Laxus says, "I've lost my way, I need help."
"You're not the first one who tried that with me.", in one swift movement she
has him pinned to the ground, "I'm not some little girl that you can sweet talk with
some words. Human girls are gullible. I'm not like most girls; I can kill you with the
snap of my fingers.". Laxus stares in fear but admiration, too. She was more
mesmerizing when she was pissed and afraid. There was something in her eyes that
told Laxus she wouldn't kill him. There was a small sparkle in her eyes that shows
compassion. Maybe those names she yelled out for, were family, siblings, maybe.
"You wouldn't kill me.", Laxus tests her, "Some one beautiful as you wouldn't
do a thing to the human that saved your ass."
"Human men are all the same.", Mirajane says. Suddenly, her aura becomes
dark and her face changes and her curves seem to become more seductive to Laxus'
Eyes. Her simple peasant dress shrinks to a skin tight body suit. This outfit caught
him off guard, it shows her breasts and barely covers any thing. She was a feared
being of all the land, yet Laxus felt like he shouldn't run at all. Something told him
this would turn out okay, "You know nothing once you face me in battle" Her silver
curls float above her head as like a silver demonic halo, "Do you still dare lie to me?"
"No, not at all.", Laxus says, "I'm not lying anyway."
"Oh, yes, you are. Your aura shifts when try to lie. I can sense it"
"Oh…"
Mirajane changes back to her first appearance. She sits down," Who am I kidding, I
can't do this…"
"What do you mean?"
"We are all human beings. Do you even know how this war started?"
"Yeah, demons murdered the first king of my kingdom.", it surprised Laxus at
how calm he was having a conversation with the Demon Queen. But when he
explains what he knew, she shakes her head.
"That's what the propaganda feeds the minds of the citizens of the capital.",
Mirajane says," We are human beings. All of us. We were just under extreme
experiments to make soldiers to help protect our country from Alvarez, the
neighboring country years before we were born. It worked but the assassination of
Mavis Vermillion caused fear. We were banished.", Mirajane sighs," The Demon
Queen is a title that goes to the Strauss family. Me, my brother, Elfman, And my
sister, Lisanna. We are the only ones left. The Strauss family were nobles before the
banishment, very wealthy, it was natural to choose my family as ruler.", She shrugs.
"You are good at story telling.", Laxus says, softly,
"I have smaller siblings and I am a mother figure to the orphans of the
soldiers your murders everyday.", Mirajane says, with a cold stern look.
Laxus stares at the ground. His father doesn't care for children, he barely cared for
him at all, even now he wouldn't give two shits for him.
"Do you know how cruel Ivan can be?"
"Yes and no."
"No?"
"I barely want to see his face.", Laxus says," He's my father so I have to care
for him at a certain extent. But other than that, nah, don't like him."
Mirajane was silent. She shifts in her spot. She never felt like this before next to the
other men she has sat next to.
"May I make a request?", Mirajane asks.
"Sure.", Laxus had an idea that she was probably going to ask if she could
infiltrate the castle.
"Can you love me?", MIrajane caught him off guard, now. His face flushed into
a deep red. "I need you to love me."
"I…uh...don't know…", Laxus says.
"Let me rephrase that. I need to infiltrate the palace, so I need you, Prince, to
love me. If I can get the information I need to make this country better, I need you to
love me."
"Do you not know how to propose a request?"' Laxus teases her." How old
are you?"
"Nineteen. Why must you know my age?"
"You sure you are nineteen?"
"Yes, my birthday was two months ago. Since you know my age, how old are
you?"
"Twenty-three."
They sit in silence for awhile. They've been in each others company for no longer
than an hour. It was Freed's voice that made Laxus realize what he was supposed to
be doing. His father wants the Demon Queen dead, Laxus is to kill her. But instead,
he finds himself sitting next to her, having a conversation. According to Mirajane's
words, she wants to make the country a better place. Ivan, from what Laxus can see,
will just do anything to make his power grow. Laxus knows that even if he is
considered a hero in the kingdom, Ivan will stab him in the back like he did with his
grandfather.
"Laxus!", Freed calls out. Laxus rises to his feet. He holds out a hand for
Mirajane. Mirajane stares at it before putting her hand in his. He pulls her up to her
feet and she almost falls. Laxus catches her, but Mirajane pushed herself away.
"Thank you, for helping me. But I must go before my brother and sister
Worry for my safety.", Mirajane says.
"Wait you just asked for my help, and now you are leaving?", Laxus asks.
"Just promise me ,you'll meet me here when the moon is full.", Mirajane says.
The way she looked at him was burned into his skull. Hope, admiration, and he saw
a hint of amorousness. She was definitely and angel. There was nothing that could
tell him he was wrong.
Mirajane walks to the trees, and as soon as she disappeared into the gloomy
shadows, Freed appears.
"There you are, Laxus,", Freed sighs with relief," Your father sent troops.
They are under strict orders to bring you back to the castle as soon you are found."
"Hey, Freed", Freed looks at him, "Do you feel like we are facing the wrong
side?"
There you are folks, chapter one is complete! This is my first story on here but not
the first one I wrote. I have a few unfinished works on watt pad(you can find my
profile at FairyTailer321). Hopefully I can get this one finished(hahaha). I'm sorry if
it seems rushed but later on it'll get better. I hope you liked the first chapter but its
just getting started.
Yours truly,
OhSoJapanese-y
