Hello readers.
I was soooooo super fucking pissed when Ido died I'm pretty sure I threw the book across the room and then I read it three times hoping that maybe this time he wont die at the end.
It never happened. :'(
So I went to the wonderful world of fanfiction. This takes place after Eona, but like, pretend all that stuff with the dragons and Ido stabbing Kygo and Ido dying and going all psycho didn't happen and the book ended with Sethon dying and Kygo becoming emperor but there still is the bereft dragons bugging them and the dragons aren't gone and Ido is alive (obviously)
Disclaimer: last fic I posted I forgot to do this, but THIS TIME I REMEMBERED
Ido was fooling around with old magic.
I'd really prefer if he'd not, and I told him that, but he wouldn't listen. He was insistent on trying a new skill with his dragon he had found in an off-limits ancient scroll earlier that day.
I was in the Imperial Library, reading up on the history of the Mirror Dragon, when he walked in. He went straight to the section of illegal scrolls, because Ido seemed to be incapable of doing anything legal. He must have somehow ditched his guards. It seemed the honor fell upon me to make sure he didn't sneak off and raze the city to the ground or kill anyone of importance.
I watched him over the top of my scroll. He pulled one out and looked at it briefly before walking over and taking a seat across from me, but of course, not before giving me a knowing wink. I quickly buried myself back into my scroll. If he was reading he couldnt do anything too disastrous, even if it was from an illegal scroll.
Boy, was I wrong.
The scroll he pulled out seemed to be on an ancient skill one of the first dragoneyes had created. He seemed intent on trying it out, and since his guards were still gone, hopefully they weren't lying in a puddle of blood right now, I went to make sure he didn't kill anyone.
I sat on an intricately carved bench, watching him stand barefoot and commune with his dragon. He was too far away to see the silver in his eyes, but I knew it was there.
"Eona!" Kygo called. I turned from where I sat to look at him. The sun lit up half of his handsome face, as he walked toward me. The courtier Lady Dela and Ido's lost guards followed him.
My beloved emperor jogged up to meet me, a scar on the place on his throat where the imperial pearl used to rest. I still found him beautiful scars and all. "Kygo," I greeted him warmly and with a smile.
He glanced over to Ido. "Is Lord Ido causing you any problems?"
I shook my head. Yes, he was reading illegal scrolls, but no need to make a big fuss over nothing. He was probably just curious.
"Good," Kygo held out his hand, "his guards can take over for now. My naiso, would you like to join me for a midday meal of noodles?"
I took it with a smile. "Of course."
Ido made a tsk sound as response. He was out of the energy world now. "Wait, Lady Eona, there is something I need to teach you. You can go eat with your emperor later."
Kygo waved his hand. "Teach her later." I stood up and moved closer to him.
Ido glared at Kygo. "No, I have to do it now. The sun has to be in the right position."
The two of them had a stare down. "Teach her tomorrow," Kygo said in a hard voice.
Ido didn't break his gaze. "No, tomorrow I planned to teach her something else, and she needs to learn this skill before she progresses."
Kygo got steely calm. "Postpone what you were going to teach her tomorrow."
Ido looked about to punch the emperor. "No, it will throw everything off schedule."
If looks could kill both of them would be brutally slaughtering each other.
Kygo opened his mouth to speak, but based off the vibes I was getting from Ido, if he said something again all hell would break loose.
"It's okay," I interjected. "I'll do whatever important thing Ido wants to teach me and then I'll have noodles with you."
Ido smiled in triumphant. I didn't know why, I had a feeling he just didn't want me to eat with Kygo, and I still was going, just later.
Kygo huffed and sat down on the bench where I was previously. Ido's guards stood behind him.
Ido grinned maliciously at the emperor. "I'm your to need you to leave, your majesty. This is dragoneye business."
Kygo glared at him, dark eyes meeting amber ones. Eventually Kygo angrily got up and stalked out of the garden. Ido had won this round.
"Do you really need to teach me something or do you just not want me to eat with the emperor," I asked once Kygo was gone.
Ido grinned at me. "Both."
His guards hadn't left but they were standing quite a way away, and only in earshot if we spoke loudly.
I unconiously smoothed down my dress, a habit I only recently picked up. "So," I said irritably, "teach away."
Ido was all business now. "Take off your shoes and dig your feet into the ground." I did as I was told. Ido was already barefoot, not to mention shirtless. I tried to keep my eyes off his washboard abs, I honestly tried, unfortunately the temptation was too great.
Ido grinned at me. "Like what you see, Lady Eona? Because if so, I could show you more."
I glared at him. "If what you needed so desperately to teach me was the size of your penis, I'm leaving."
Ido laughed. "No, as fascinating as that topic is, it is not what I pulled you away from your lunch for."
"Better not be," I mumbled. Ido got back to the point.
"Now close your eyes and enter the energy world. Don't open them once you're in."
I did as I was told. Breath in, breath out. It only took me two before I felt myself enter into the dimension of the dragons. Resisted seeing my dragon and the beautiful vibrant colors of hua and kept my eyes closed.
"Focus on what's around you, but do not open your eyes," Ido's voice instructed. He sounded a lot closer than before.
I could sense the bushes a few feet away from me, and Ido's presence to my left. I could feel the hua from his guards faintly, and the pulse of power radiating from the ground beneath my feet. Everything was as it should be. I was about to ask what I was supposed to do now, when I felt a strange presence enter our little clearing. It seemed to be coming from where Ido was. It radiated darkness; something we should not be messing around with.
"Ido," I exclaimed, my eyes snapping open. Ido was grinning wolfishly at me. A dark swirling mass of dark greys hovered to the side of him.
"Hang on, Eona," he said as he snaked an arm around my waist, taking advantage of his close proximity to me, and pulled me through the swirling abyss. My eyes went wide and a small scream flew out of my mouth.
I felt the swirling greys erase my body and mind from our world and rewrite it in another universe. I smelled the familiar cinnamon of my dragon follow into the swirl, along with the taste of vanilla orange, but that might have just been from Ido, who I was forcefully pressed against.
I felt the rest of me disappear from the world where Kygo reigned and everything went black.
Yay! Review please! I know it's a little short but my chapters tend to get longer as the fic goes on
