The Group stared in wonder at the vast white scenery. Sakura and Syaoran who had never before seen snow found themselves starring in wonder. Kurogane noticed however that Fai looked more alarmed and scared even. He raised his eyebrows as he watched The mage tighten his overly thick coat around him. "This cant be..Its not is it?" Fai muttered fretfully to himself. "No of course not."
Kurogane opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by a small group of people approaching them eagerly. "Welcome to Silwer World!" The people said happily.
"It's not everyday we get Travelers from other worlds." A old man said jollily.
"Well at least not since the Ice King disappeared." Another said knowingly.
"He didn't disappear. He just moved farther into the Snowlands." another argued. "50 some years ago, He did." Most of them continued to argue while the group stared on confused.
"Excuse me... excuse me," Syaoron said tentatively trying to get some sense out of it all. "Is it dangerous here?" The Village Elder nodded and calmly stepped forward. "That it is young lad. Many a young beauty has disappeared never to be seen again." He said sadly. Syaoron clutched Sakura closely in fear she would disappear right there. The Elder noticed this and smiled reassuringly. "There is no need to worry for her safety. He will not harm her." he assured with a wave of his hand.
Syaoron however looked up at him doubtfully. "But you just said.." He started to protest.
"He prefers blonde's and he rides a different horse if you catch my drift." A gruff old man grumbled starring intently at Fai who only laughed. Kurogane however was more weary and stepped closer to the mage and glaring at the said man. Fai turned to his boyfriend and giggled. "Look Kurgy you have competition." Fai joked merrily.
"Like i care." Kurogane said gruffly but the other's could see the tenseness in his face. "I mean who would take an Idiot like you. Even i can barely stand you." He added as he subconsciously pulled his blonde closer to him and rubbed Fai's arms to try and keep him warm in the winter cold. The leader seeing that the weather was dropping gestured for the group to follow him to his house. Grateful they followed. Once inside however Syaoron curious as ever. "Sir if you don't my asking..but..can you tell me..why this...former king is so...particular?"
goo"Please sit down." He gestured to a set of furniture. He cleared his throat as he watched them all take a seat. Sakura and syaoron on a couch and Fai and Kurogane on a love seat. Fai clutched Kurogane's arm and giggled. "Oohhh Shh Kurgy-pii it's story time." He said in a hushed tone as he clutched himself closer causing Kurogane to growl. "Can't you take anything serriously?" He demanded. "Temper!" Fai warned in a faux motherly tone. The leader ignored the two as he started his tale.
The legend
The snow King's heart has always been as cold as the ice he created. It was believed that he was not capable of loving anyone. However one day a young mage with blonde hair and blue eyes as deep as the sea happened to catch his eye. The young mage's youthfulness and beauty enraptured him. However Much to his rage when he went to go court the young man had turned him down. For you see he was already with another. A young prince who was due to inherit a throne of the sun God. The Ice King however was not one to be turned down. He continued to try and court the poor young man. Bringing him gifts and sweet promises. The Mage was not one to be moved. He loved the Prince with all his heart. The king soon caught wind that the prince was about ready to propose. The king furious at the prospect of losing something he deemed his plotted against the couple. On the eve of the day he was to propose the King went himself to kill the said prince. After which he kidnapped the Mage to force him to be married.
What he didn't count on however was that the prince was not one to easily killed. The Sun Prince was a very temperamental Demi God and a Jealous one at that. He stole away the Mage before the Ice king would have a chance to even make it to the priest. When the king went to try and stop them..he found them to be gone. To this very day he steals any blonde that looks even remotely like the mage and he won't be satisfied till he gets his "bride" back.
The leader finished his tale by pulling a rope to reaval a portrait of a young Blonde that looked disturbingly a lot like Fai. ""This... was that Mage." The leader concluded.
"Wow it's Fai Fai!" monoka explained happily.
"Hyuu I always did wonder what my alternative self would be like." Fai said with fake whistle.
"Mage how can you be so Damn Happy! This means you are in danger you moron!" The Ninja seethed.
"Ohh I am not worried, I got my big strong Ninja to protect me." Fai said off handedly.
The ice King smiled thinly as he stood in front of his mirror and watched the Mage cuddle up to that infuriating Prince. "Well My love it seems you have come back. Splendid. Now i just need to get you away from that mockery of a prince." he said as he tapped his chin. "but how..." He fingered his long black hair passively.
