THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR REVIEWS, VIEWS, FOLLOWS, AND FAVORITES.

Victor: I've recovered from my traumatic experience *smiles his usual heart smile*

Me: You seem very optimistic for someone who survived.

Yuuri: It took twenty pork cutlet bowls and me hugging him all night for him to calm down.

Phichit: Anyway, just a reminder that Midnight doesn't own any of us and to enjoy this chapter! Don't forget to review for the sake of being nice. ;) *Pulls his phone out to take a selfie with us*

Me: *hands slip to Phichit*

Phichit: *reads slip* Another detail to cover, in the previous chapter, Makkachin was mentioned to be over ten feet tall, well that's because, in this story, he is large enough to allow Victor to ride him like a horse but he can be tough when he wants to.

Yuuri + Victor: THAT'S AMAZING :D


As soon as Georgi reported about the ocean being frozen, Victor wasted no time calling for Makkachin who came racing in the room in less than five seconds. He was such a large dog that he has a saddle on his for Victor to ride on for occasions such as these as they both took off to follow Georgi in such a rush that he didn't realize that Yakov was already yelling at him:

"KING VICTOR YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO LEAVE WITHOUT YURI!"

On cue, Yuri transformed into a giant snow tiger (about the same size as Makkachin) as he sprinted after the king while he roared back to Yakov, "Don't worry I'm going after those idiots!"

Yakov made a heavy sigh as he slapped his hand over his forehead. "That Victor will never learn to stay still."

"How can he when he's too passionate about the needs of his people before his own," Lilia replied as she gently patted his shoulder. "As noble as his cause may seem, in doing so, he is neglecting how to love and live life."

Meanwhile, Makkachin was running as fast as he could to the location Georgi was leading them to as Victor kept his eyes narrowed forward. His mind getting filled up with any possible scenario of what this could lead to? Could this man be the threat Queen Mari was talking about? Was he a threat? How can freeze an entire ocean?

"HEY VICTOR!"

That snapped him out of his thoughts as Victor looked to his right only to see Yuri running right beside them as the tiger growled. "Next time you decide to leave me behind I'll feed you to my lion friends!"

Just before he could make a reply, they suddenly saw clouds forming above the beach as they were turning gray as a sudden blue glow erupted from the spot! They heard the soldiers from Georgi's group cry out in panic while some were barking orders at one another! But when they arrived, their eyes widened at the sight they saw before them.

The shore of the beach where this 'unconscious' man was covered in ice that looked like it just exploded out of nowhere as strong winds of snow were only devouring that certain area. Soldiers were on the ground trying to recover from a certain blast that must have brought them all down!

"What happened here?" Georgi demanded as he helped one of the soldiers up. "I thought you all had everything under control before I left to tell the king!"

"We did sir! But the situation got complicated!" The guard replied.

"HOW?!"

"Before we could put him in the wagon sir, he woke up!" The soldier explained as he pointed to the spot where the ice looked like it practically exploded! "He looked at us and began to panic, using ice magic to get away from us!"

Yuri pressed his paw gently over the ice spikes that were sticking out of the frozen ocean. "He's pretty sloppy with his ice magic, look at this mess!"

"I think it was his panicking that probably caused him to get overwhelmed by his emotions that he lost control," Victor concluded as he studied the ice on the sand floor. He then walked over to the ocean, pressing his right palm over the ice as he smiled, "But at least I know how to get rid of this ice." His hand began to lightly have a white glow on top the ice as the entire ocean began to glow that same light as it was lifted up into the air and vanished into sparkles of ice dust. He then proceeded to get rid of the ice on the shore along with the winds which were done within seconds.

"That's all nice that you could clean up that pig's mess but how are we going to find him?" Yuri asked with stern eyes. "We have no idea if he's a foe!"

Victor simply pointed up to the sky and when Yuri looked up, he could see that the sky was the same blue emptiness expect for the sudden trail of gray clouds that were forming a line down the horizon of the beach! "Georgi, I'm going to need one of your sleeping potions you have been working on," Victor requested as said man nodded and handed the small bottle that has some squeeze.

"Just press this and a dust off its magic will burst out," Georgi explained until he gave Victor a confused look. "But why do you need this?"

"For my own reasons," Victor smirked, then he mounted on top of Makkachin once again before taking off to follow the trail!

"WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST SAY ABOUT LEAVING ME BEHIND!?" Yuri roared as he chased down the king with anger. Geez, he was the one who agreed to make me his bodyguard! Now I know how Yakov felt when he had to deal with him. "SLOW DOWN GEEZER, YOU'RE GOING TO NEED BACKUP!"

Victor just ignored Yuri as he was getting further down the path seeing how the clouds led out of the beach and into the forest past the town. He could feel the strength of the storm that was strong enough that even he couldn't undo that storm! The only advantage he had was that he knew the forest inside and out, even when he's blindfolded so finding this person wouldn't be so hard as he anticipated. He remembered visiting this forest when he was younger after having that dream in hopes of finding his soulmate but with no luck, now that he thought of it...This forest wasn't like the one in that dream.

He quickly shook his head, mentally slapping himself and telling himself to focus as he urged Makkachin to sniff out for anyone lurking in the forest as he jumped off to follow his instincts in a way. From the way, the snow and ice were getting stronger and larger by every blow of the wind, he could tell that whoever this ice wielder was, the power was getting out of control than he could imagine.

Victor was deep in the forest until he felt a presence behind him, causing him to quickly turn around and ready to attack with an ice blast but stopped midway when he was pinned down!

"Careful where you hit that ice, your highness," Yuri growled as he got off of Victor and turned to a sabertooth tiger. "I take that you have no idea where this pig with this stupid storm."

"Not yet anyway," Victor shrugged.

"Then you should be lucky you have a sabertooth tiger here," Yuri whispered as his eyes narrowed to a certain area past the trees where the forest was much darker there.

"Eh?"

Before Victor could react, Yuri already snarled, ran inside the dark forest as he made a loud roar, and pounced on top of someone who shrieked in fright! On cue to the shriek, there was a sudden burst of ice covering the forest ground rapidly under Victor's feet as he rushed forward to see Yuri still in his sabertooth tiger form while pinning someone down on the ground! Just by hearing the short breaths, and the scared whimpers coming from the man as the ice was slowly forming spikes around the area, Victor knew that Yuri had made a bad move!

"Yuri, get off of him! You're scaring him!"

"Huh?" Yuri gave him a confused glare until he suddenly realized that some of that ice was beginning to cover his front paws at such a rapid speed! With a small shriek of panic, Yuri jumped off of the stranger while he tried to break the ice that covered his front two paws. The man was catching a moment to breathe until he saw Victor approached him which caused him to quickly back away!

Victor couldn't really tell how this person looked like since the man had an old torn up hood hiding his face but he could tell from the trembling that this person was beyond horrified. He looked down at the man's legs, seeing that he was wearing torn up shorts and his feet were covered in cuts and were pretty pale! The man kept backing away until his back hit a frozen tree which caused him to gasp and hold his breath since he realized that he had nowhere else to run or hide. So the only thing that came to instinct was to use his hands to try to block them from hurting him.

"Victor, what are you doing?" Yuri demanded when he saw his king slowly getting closer to the man as more ice and spikes were sprouting from the person!

"He's not a foe," Victor replied as he held his hand out for the man. "Look at him, he looks lost and scared out of his mind. There's no way he could pose a threat if, from the looks of it, he can't control his powers..." He then turned his attention to the frightened person. "I get it, you're scared...Sorry about that tiger over there, he didn't know better. But maybe, you can trust me enough to help you? You look like you've been through a lot. Haven't you?"

The man cautiously brought his hands down, as if he was about to consider holding Victor's hand until he suddenly recoiled and shook his head. His hands then made a tight grip over his head as he continued to shake his head while the ice and storm were getting worse!

"Hey, calm down...It's okay, okay, no one is going to hurt you," Victor soothed as he gently patted the man but that only made things worse as the man then screamed out:

"NO! NO! NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! I DON'T WANT TO HURT ANYMORE! PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE!"

From the constant shaking of his head of 'no', the man's hood fell behind revealing a dirty scared face with broken glasses that were in front of his brown eyes that were red and puffy from the constant tears falling. His raven hair was a mess but despite looking like a mess, all Victor saw was an absolute beauty as his chest suddenly felt a warm fuzzy feeling!

However, Victor was at lost on how to calm him down since the worse the man cried out, the worse the ice powers were getting out of control! "I'm sorry, but I'm going to do this to help you calm down," Victor whispered as he pulled out the small bottle of the sleeping potion he asked for earlier. With a gentle squeeze, he sprayed the magical substance at the young man's face.

At first, he began to cough from the sudden intake of the substance until his eyes felt heavy and his body was losing all consciousness. Within seconds, he fell forward on top of Victor, into a deep sleep as the last of his tears fell as soft snores could be heard from him. On cue, the snow storm instantly disappeared as well as the overwhelming ice and gray clouds, bringing back the fresh green forest. Victor gently wiped those leftover tears from the man's sleeping face as he heavily sighed in relief. "At least we got that sorted out."

"King Victor," Yuri addressed, now in his human form as he approached the king and took one look at the sleeping stranger. "What are we going do about this one?"

About a moment of silence has passed until Victor got up as he carried the man in bridal style as he answered with a smile, "I'm taking him back to the castle with me!"

"HUH!?" Yuri's eyes widened in shock as he looked at Victor as if he just lost his mind...Not that he already did several times. "How can you just take a random stranger back to the castle just like that!? I don't think Yakov would approve of this decision your highness!"

"Well, he'll just have to accept it then," Victor simply answered as he mounted on Makkachin while he still held on to the young man. "Besides, from looks of his condition, this little beauty needs help and obviously some training in controlling his powers."

Yuri just gave him a blank stare, not even bothering to point out the fact that Victor has just called this random stranger 'a beauty'.


Victor: Yuuri, I will make sure you never know the future of this story *hugs Yuuri, keeping him away from me*

Yuuri: Come on Victor, it can't-

Me: SHUSH! Say anything like that or you might trigger him again *Whispering to Yuuri*

Yurio: Midnight hopes you enjoyed this chapter and stay tuned for the next chapter to see what becomes of King Victor and this stranger he has suddenly fallen for.
