Chapter 2: The Figure

Izuku got home with the food just when dinner normally is. They ate sandwiches and talked,

"I'm going to be heading out early tomorrow," Izuku told his mom.

"Oh, what will you be doing?"

"Uh… I'll just be talking to Uraraka and Iida," Izuku felt bad lying to his mom but he knew if he told the truth his mother would never let him go.

"Well ok then," his mom responded cheerfully they finished their sandwiches and headed off to bed around 2 hours later. The next morning Izuku woke up at dawn and quickly threw a loaf of bread into a bag and rushed out the door and to the same spot they were yesterday. There he found Uraraka holding her magic staff and Iida clad in armor with a sword in his belt was standing next to her.

"Oh hi Izuku!" Uraraka said frantically waving at him.

"You made it! I thought you might not be coming for a second there.

Izuku smiled slightly embarrassed that he woke up later than he expected. He was about to apologize for being late but before a word left his mouth Uraraka yelled,

"ONWARD!"

Iida pulled a compass out of his pocket,

"Ok, we need to head North," he said.

"Then let's go," Izuku said smiling. Iida turned slightly so the compass needle was aiming toward the N. Then they set off through the woods. Uraraka beat some of the leaves and thorns away with her staff dramatically.

"Can't you just use your magic to make a clearing?" Izuku asked.

"Well maybe, but it's more fun this way," Uraraka replied. The adventurers walked some more and Izuku helped with beating the leaves out of there face. They walked for around 10 more minutes. Then they heard a twig snap somewhere in the distance. Iida, Uraraka, and Izuku stopped dead in their tracks and looked around frantically. No one was there.

"Odd," Iida said softly. Then they kept walking. They had only been walking for another minute until they came across a cliff. The group stopped walking,

"It had to be a cliff!" Uraraka said exasperated. Then they heard footsteps behind them.

"Uh, what is that noise?" Izuku asked nervously. The footsteps kept getting closer. Uraraka raised her staff and Iida pulled out his sword ready for a fight. Izuku on the other hand grabbed a loaf of bread they had out of his bag.

"On the count of three we turn around," Iida and Uraraka nodded.

"One...Two...THREE!"

"KYA!" The three of them spun around weapons raised and izuku threw the bread at the figures head. It bounced and landed in front of the figure. Then the figure stepped closer and there, standing in front of them was a confused boy and his white horse. He was dressed more formal than everyone else and he had red and white hair. But the thing that gave Izuku a panic attack was the crown he was wearing.

"Oh crap." Uraraka muttered softly. Standing in front of them was none other than the son of King Enji heir to the throne, prince Shoto Todoroki. Izuku had just thrown a loaf of bread at the prince.
