"Marina! Marina, where are you darling?" called a blue-haired woman with dark purple see-through wings. She wore a dark blue dress sparkling with white glitter with dark purple short sleeves and black lace at the tops of said sleeves. Her light blue eyes looked around worriedly, fearful of what her daughter's adventurous spirit could have gotten her into. The Fire Country's prince had come to her country for some reason, and he had slipped his security detail to explore on his own. The Arctic Country and the Fire Country weren't on good terms, and she feared what would happen to her youngest daughter should the enraged security detail find her first. She wasn't the heir to the throne, so there would be no legal reason for war should she be injured by them.

'Brrr... It's so cold here. How can the people here NOT need long sleeve?' thought a black-haired young man wearing the royal clothing of the Fire Country. The Fire Prince's golden highlights glinted in the weak arctic sun. His tan skin, dark hair, and sapphire blue eyes made him different from the others in his royal line. He was the first to be born without red hair, amber or green eyes, and pale skin. He was the heir to the Fire Country's throne, and his mother, Fire Queen Isis, defended his legitimacy like a mother tiger despite the Fire Prince wanting to give up the throne to his younger sister, Yuaki, who by all appearances was a legitimate heir.
Gazing around with his sapphire eyes, the prince took in the beauty of the Arctic Country. Despite the cold, he would love to live here. Hardy plants dotted the landscape that sparkled with snow and frost. It was far different from the land he lived in, covered in greenery and tropical flowers. There were also of plenty of dangerous beasts lurking in the jungles of his home country, making every citizen and noble learn how to be a fierce warrior at a young age if they were to survive.
The Fire Prince gained no special attention from the people of the Arctic Country as he leisurely walked the streets. For once he was glad his dark hair didn't set him apart: People here thought he was just a traveler from the Fire Country, not a prince. He hated the attention he got when people knew the truth.
"Hey, let me go, you jerks!" cried a young woman's voice. The Fire Prince, having the chivalry many noblemen in his country lacked, immediately ran to the source of the shouts without a second thought.
"Tell us where our prince is, you whelp!' shouted a familiar voice. The Fire Prince growled, his eyes flashing red briefly, not long enough for anyone to notice. However, the blond-haired, violet-eyed guard heard the growl and turned to see his prince standing there with a furious expression on his face. He let go of the girl's arm immediately, and knelt before his prince. The orange-haired man next to him did the same.
"Jack! Crow! You know better than to harm innocent people! Leave at once and return to the inn! Your punishment will be decided later!" the prince ordered. Jack growled, but his calmer orange-haired companion dragged him away, not wanting their punishment to get worse from disobeying a direct order. The prince walked up to the girl, who stared at him defiantly.
"I could have taken care of them myself," she said stubbornly. The prince smiled gently. She was a spitfire, something he had not expected.
"I know. But I couldn't allow my men to harm you. My name is Yusei, my I ask for yours?" the prince asked politely, leaving out the fact that he was the prince. He didn't want to draw unnecessary attention to himself too soon. The girl's eyes softened.
"I'm Marina. I'm sorry for my haughty attitude, I just don't like people treating me differently because I'm an Ice Princess," the blue-haired girl said, her light-blue eyes gazing into Yusei's sapphire blue ones. "Blue eyes. That's rare for one from the Fire Country."
"Especially one of noble lineage," Yusei admitted, knowing Marina was now a kindred spirit. The girl gasped.
"You- you're the Fire Prince?" she cried softly. Yusei nodded. "I apologi-"
"Don't. I'm the same as you," Yusei interrupted. Marina nodded.
"Care for a tour, Yusei?"
"I'd love one, Marina."
The two smiled at each other and walked off down the street, their hands itching to hold the other's but not daring to... yet.
