Chapter 3: Ur the Water Rose
Today is my favorite ship's daughter and son. Though it's more focused on the daughter. I hope you enjoy, and stick for a little thing that I want to talk about.
Helios fell to one knee as a giant monster loomed over him. He looked battered and beaten; he could barely even be able to stand. He stared the monster as it prepared to attack, and he closed his eyes, accepting death's embrace. Suddenly, a spout of water
/hit the monster, and a teenage girl stood in front of Helios. "Ice Make: Cold Excalibur!" Yelled the girl as a a giant ice blade appeared on her hands, and with one swing, the monster was completely frozen over. Slowly, the frozen monster started
/crumbling and falling apart, and the girl turned to help Helios. The silver haired boy stared at his rescuer while blushing.
"Oh wow! Ur you saved me!" He stated while embracing her.
"For you, always." Said Ur hugging back.
"Let's get married, and have twenty babies." He said as he closed in for a kiss. "Oh Ur. Ur. Ur. Ur..." He repeated as Ur did so the same.
"Ur. Ur. Ur. Ur!" Somebody yelled waking Ur up from her sleep. She jerked up and fell down her bed. "Wake up, sleepy head." She heard someone say as she opened her eyes to find her father's gaze.
She slowly stood up. "Can't I keep sleeping, dad." She complained tiredly while rubbing her eyes.
"No." He said plainly. "As much as your mother and I love to have you here, you've got to get a job soon to pay this and last month's rent, Ur." He said sternly.
"Whatever you say, Gray." She waved off teasing her father as she entered her old room's bathroom.
"Remember what I said about that boorish attitude of yours, young lady." He said. Ur groaned in response.
Giving a little bit of context to this situation, Ur forgot to pay Fairy Hill's previous payment of her apartment so she went on to live with her parents, Gray and Juvia, until she payed up last month's payment as well as this month's payment. The problem
/was she was being a bit lazy about it. She was washing her teeth, when she heard someone enter her room.
"Hey sis!" Called out Ur's older brother.
"Hey Silver." She mumbled coming out of the bathroom in her pajamas. "How's it going?" She asked.
"Fine, just waiting on you." He answered as he sat on his younger sister's bed.
"Why?" She asked.
" 'Cause Dad asked me to take you on a job to pay for your rent." He said as he took off his clothes leaving him in boxers on Ur's room.
Ur stared at him. "First, your naked." She said as Silver irked at her comment.
"Says the girl in her underwear." He countered. She shrugged.
"It's my room. My privacy." She said plainly. "And second, I can take care of myself thank you." She said as she rummaged through her closet in her underwear.
"Yeah, but Dad wants to make sure you do the job and get the jewels to leave home." He said while putting back his clothes.
"And Mom?" She asked. The two stared at each other.
"Conflicted as usual." They both said.
"Wishing for her children to grow up into responsible adults." Said Silver.
"Yet wishes for her children to stay as kids forever." Continued Ur. "Would you mind?" She said as she signaled her clothes. Silver then groaned and mumbled as he left the room.
Silver waited for half an hour before Ur came out of her room. "Took you long enough." He said before looking at her outfit. She was wearing a white and blue, long sleeved blouse, black leggings with snowflake patterns on it, a white and blue trimmed
/waistcoat held up by a brown belt and brown knee high boots. Her black hair was let down in thick waves past her shoulders and a single spiked bang hanged in her forehead. Somehow it accentuated her dark blue eyes. "You look good." He complimented
/as Ur rolled her eyes.
"Are you hitting on me?" She teased.
"C'mon that's cold." He continued to joke.
"Ur! Silver!" Called out a woman from the kitchen. "I made you lunch for the trip!" She yelled. Ur and Silver walked down the stairs to meet their mother, Juvia, giving them a paper bag.
"Thanks mom." Said Silver as he kissed her on the cheek. Juvia smiled and kissed him in the forehead.
"Why mom? I'm 18." Complained Ur. Juvia looked like she was about to cry a river.
"Ur it's just lunch." Said Silver.
"Says the 21 year old holding a paper bag." She answered sarcastically.
"Ur." Warned Gray as he kept reading the newspaper, and Ur groaned.
"Thanks mom. You're the best." She pretended to say happily. Though still sad, Juvia still gave her daughter a kiss on the forehead.
"Just be happy, ok." Juvia smiled.
"Love you." Ur grumbled.
"See ya, don't wanna be ya!" Yelled Silver as he waved his parents goodbye and Ur hurried her pace. Their parents waved back.
"See ya, don't wanna be ya? Really?" She teased.
"What? It just came out like that." He retorted. Both chuckled and caught up on recent times since he's never around anymore.
Upon getting on a train to the job request's location, Silver started telling her stories about his S-Class Jobs and all the crazy things he's gone through from fighting a wyvern while being naked to a time he had to infiltrate a hot springs filled with
/women in order to get a special gem. Ur on the other hand didn't have stories like his. The weirdest one was about a play with a director that gave too much thanks. Silver then started talking about all the assorted girls he started to meet on said
/jobs. Ur shifted uncomfortably. She wasn't too fond of that topic. Silver noticed this and asked. "Are you ok, sis?" He leaned closer.
"Yeah. I'm fine." She answered avoiding his gaze.
"Helios turned down again, didn't he?" He said. "You know what I'm going to say." He stated leaning back to his seat.
"I don't need to hear it. I know how I feel and that's final." She said as she looked right at his gaze.
"I think that he's not the right guy for you. What if he likes another girl or guy. I can barely understand what goes on his head." He said.
Ur stared at him in disbelief. "I thought I said that I didn't need to hear it." Silver was about to say something, but she then left her seat. Leaving Silver contemplating on the situation. "What gives him the right to say who's right for me or not. He can barely even maintain a girlfriend for at max a week let alone be serious about it."She
/thought as she stormed off. As she went through the train carts looking for a restroom, there was a thud on top of the cart that she was on. She stopped to look at the ceiling and saw fire piercing through the cart's roof making a hole out of it,
/and the people around her started to panic. She checked other carts to see if there were more holes being formed. Sadly it was true. A cold aura started to envelop her hands as she froze one hole. However, she was met with another hole further along
/the roof, and was too late. From the hole, bandits with odd guild emblems appeared. Ur quickly ran towards the emergency switch and activated it. The train came to a screeching halt, and everybody held on. "Everybody get out!" Ordered Ur as everybody
/started running towards the exit with Ur and the bandits folllowing.
"The hell-" said one bandit before he was frozen over by Ur. She then made sure the passengers in the other carts got out ok. Luckily for her, Silver was doing the same as well as a few other wizards and staff.
"You!" Called out the leader of the bandits, whom stood on top of the train, to Ur. "Do you have a death wish?" He threatened while staring her down. Ur did so the same, but with a plain face. Ur then created an ice wall closing her off from her brother
/and other wizards.
"Uh, boss I don't think threatening her is a good idea." Said one bandit.
"Yeah. Just look at her arm." Said another bandit while pointing at her arm that was emanating cold aura.
"She's one vs. many of us. We got this in the bag." Said the boss and his crew agreed.
Ur chuckled, and the bandits started to feel uneasy. "You guys really have bad luck. I'm not really in the mood so let's make this quick." She said as she took off her blouse, leaving her in her bra, and changed her stance. One bandit didn't hesitate
/to attack first. "Water Lock!" Ur yelled as a orb of water imprisoned the bandit, and she immediately froze it in its place. The others just stared in disbelief to which she sighed and joined her hands together as a light blue magic circle appeared.
/"Ice Make: Lance!" Ice spears shot out of her hand and impacted the remaining bandits freezing them instantly. The boss smirked.
"An Ice and Water Mage. Deadly combination." He said as he jumped down to the ground facing Ur who didn't change her expression. "Let's make this inter-" He was interrupted as an ice hammer slammed him against the train. "Cheap shot. Don't expe-" He again
/was interrupted this time by an ice covered fist hitting him square in the face.
"Water Nebula!" She yelled as a spout of water hit the bandit boss as he tried to get up and talk. The bandit lifted his weapon only for it to be sliced in half by a water blade. "Ice Make: Geyser!" She yelled as a magic circle appeared under the bandit
/boss. Ice crystals then exploded under him as it rose and he was completely frozen inside a giant ice crystal. It then shattered leaving the boss on the ground unconscious. "I hate it when they talk." She complained as the wall she created shattered.
Silver ran towards Ur's location to check what had happened. He was met with the sight of Ur in her bra as the three frozen bandits were arrested. "Uh, what happened?" He asked as he got closer to Ur.
"My bad mood." She answered as she turned around to leave the sight.
"When haven't you've been in a bad mood. You're lucky a rain cloud doesn't follow you around." He said as he followed her. Together they continued their job.
Just so you know,I'm not making her a tsundere. She's just rude and boorish.I hoped you enjoyed it. Be sure to leave a review. Again it can be positive or negative as long as it's , the thing that I want to talk about is simple, and that's that I really want to do this story, but due to recent events from where I live, the chapters and answers to your questionswill be coming out much more slowly. I hope you havethe patience for it, and as soon as I can, I'll post a chapter and answer any question any ofyou might have. Anyways, always stay positive. See you next time.
