Chapter One:
The sound of waves splashing against the rocks could be heard from inside the cozy cottage home. Midoriya sat at his desk, the orange glow of a small flame illuminated the dark corner of his room. The green haired boy scrunched his emerald eyes in concentration. He wrote swiftly in his notebook occasionally dipping his quill in the black ink.
"The tips of the petals are dangerously poisonous…the flower takes on the appearance of a harmless orchid, which is very unusual…" The greenette muttered quietly to himself as he continued to sketch the plant in full detail.
"Izuku, sweetie, dinners ready." Midoriya was pulled out of his thoughts by his mother who had entered the room. Midoriya smiled and nodded his head before making his way out the door, being sure to close his ink jar and put his journal neatly away. The floorboards creaked as he made his way into the small kitchen. The warmth of the oven sent a shiver through the young man. He inhaled the mouthwatering smell of freshly baked bread and fish fresh from the lake and cooked perfectly.
"It smells amazing." Midoriya spoke softly as he sat down in the hand crafted chair. Midoriya leaned on the crooked table as his mother placed the food in front of her son. Inko was a small plump woman with long dark green hair and bright eyes that can even put the sun to shame. She wore a pink dress and white apron her soft green hair was contained in a pink bandanna. Midoriya was proud to say he resembled his mother.
His green hair as crazy as it seems is soft to the touch and his green eyes had always shined bright with curiosity. Midoriya was a natural explorer and a smart and quick thinker. He ate quietly with his mother as the fireplace roared in the background. Midoriya found comfort in the crackling flames that filled the silence, enjoying the peaceful company.
Suddenly, a knock at the door broke the peaceful silence. Midoriya jumped a bit at the sudden noise. Curiously he looked to his mother whom just shrugged curiously. Midoriya stood up and made his way to the wooden door. He opened the door to find a familiar face.
"Iida? What brings you here?" Midoriya asked. Iida stood at the door wearing his silver armor. He bowed his head respectively before explaining.
"I apologize Midoriya for coming this late at night. But I humbly request you come to the castle. The king wishes to meet with you." The knight explained. Midoriya blinked once before looking at his mother. Inko's face furrowed in worry. Midoriya looked back at Iida before nodding his head.
"Let me just go get my things I will be back." Midoriya Stated before walking back inside. He made his way to his room and grabbed his satchel, journal and sword. Midoriya never left his cottage home without it. Considering the greenettes home is far into the woods he would hate to be attacked by bandits. Attaching the sword to his belt and putting his journal in his bag he made his way out the house, being sure to say goodbye to his mother. Iida climbed onto his horse allowing room for Midoriya to climb on as well. The horse began running at a steady pace towards the king's castle.
"Do you have any idea why the king requested for me?" Midoriya asked as he held onto the knights armor to keep from being thrown off.
"I believe it has something to do with the tension between endeavors kingdom and ours. With the dragon tribe closing in things are not looking good for us." Iida explained briefly. Midoriya nodded his head.
"I understand that. But no offense Iida why would the king request me? How would I help?" Midoriya asked.
"Im not quite sure, but you do seem to question your abilities too much. Even though you arethe advocate to this kingdom everyone holds you with high regards, you shouldn't question the kings faith in you." The knight said. Midoriya looked at Iida with sudden awe, the knight was his best friend and Midoriya was happy to hear such praise from him. The horse made its way through the woods before making it to the bridge that entered center city. Midoriya was never a big fan of densely populated places, hence, him living in the woods. But the city at night always seemed beautiful to him. His curious green eyes shined brightly with awe.
"We are almost to the castle." Iida said as they continued. Midoriya nodded his head as the lights of the village zipped passed. The sound of hooves thundering against the stone road calmed midoriya's shaking nerves. What did the king want him to do exactly? These thoughts flooded his mind as they drew closer to the castle. Midoriya looked up and watched the Giant gates to the castle open. The horse slowed to a stop at the giant staircase that lead to the entrance.
Iida jumped off of the horse before help Midoriya, the more shorter of the two, down as well. The greenette mumbled a polite thanks before following the knight towards the entrance. The doors opened and the two made their way to the throne room. Midoriya was familiar with the castle but still found himself in awe at the regal decorum that surrounded them.
"King Toshinari should be waiting for us in the throne room." Iida spoke up before pushing open the doors to reveal the kings throne and the king himself. Midoriya smiled as the king stood to greet them. He welcomed the two with open arms and a bright smile.
"Your highness it's an honor to see you again after-"
"Eh? enough with the formalities Midoriya, come over and give me a hug." The Toshinari joyously said before engulfing Midoriya in a warm fatherly hug. Midoriya smiled and returned the hug. Toshinari has always been a father figure to him Since he was young, in fact, Midoriya remembers all the times he studied under the king and all the things he learned. The two separated and smiled at each other before Toshinari turned to the knight.
"Thank you Iida, you are dismissed." Toshinari spoke kindly. Iida bowed his head before leaving the room. Toshinari turned to Midoriya before talking.
"So, how was the trip?" The king asked, referring to Midoriya's recent exploration a week ago. Midoriya was an explorer, he traveled to different villages and was very knowledgeable to different cultures. His trips would take him months away from home. Because of Midoriya's knowledge he was the organizer for many of the kingdoms foreign affairs.
"It was very interesting. I was able to study much of the agriculture in the north." Midoriya said. Toshinari nodded his head and smiled in content. The two ambled down the long hall. After a few moments of silence Midoriya spoke
"Iida said you wish to talk to me about something?" Midoriya asked. Toshinari sighed before nodding his head.
"Yes, I'm afraid there is something I need your help with. As you know lately there have been more attacks on the outer villages. Towns burned down and people being taken. You must also know that these attacks are from the dragon tribes correct?" Toshinari explained to Midoriya. The shorter of the two nodded his head.
"Yeah, I have also been hearing that even Endeavor's kingdom is being raided." Midoriya responded looking up at the king. Toshinari nodded his head.
"Correct. Because of this our numbers are dwindling. I have tried multiple times to convince endeavor to join forces with me, but he is too proud to accept my help. That is why I sent for you Midoriya." The king explained as he stopped ahead of Midoriya and turned to look at him.
"I need you to go there and convince endeavor to join forces with us. Without him we will never be able to stop the dragon clan from their ruthless attacks." Toshinari spoke causing Midoriya to stop. He looked at the king with wide eyes before giving a determined nod.
"I understand your highness. I will leave once morning comes." Midoriya said with certainty. The king smiled and nodded his head.
"I knew I could count on you. I'm sorry for dragging you out here this late but this couldn't wait." Toshinari explained. Midoriya simply nodded his head.
"I understand I'll head out right away." Midoriya spoke. With a final goodbye he let the young go back to his home.
Midoriya went home that night and prepared for his adventure. The king had already sent a message to endeavor about his arrival. The response was a warning to be careful about the outer edges of the kingdom, the dragon tribes have been surrounding the area for the past three months. Midoriya received a horse to travel with from the king and his mother had packed plenty of meals and motherly concerns. Midoriya said his goodbyes before racing out into unknown territory.
The forest was dense but the advocate was able to make out a trail that was made by many others who traveled through these woods. He planned his trip and said would at least take him a week to make it there, he noticed with this plan he Would spend two and a half days in enemy territory. He traveled through the woodlands as fast as he could refusing to take a break.
Eventually Midoriya was able to make it to a small river and that had a clearing that was hidden away. He decided to rest and wait until the morning. It had been two days and he was steadily approaching the tribes territory. Midoriya knee he had to be careful and resided against making a fire, instead, Midoriya relied on the little bit of warmth his blanket would provide. He laid down silently and wrapped himself up tightly, sword laying close by his side. He attempted to close his eyes and sleep.
