Chapter Text
The pathway out of the labrynth was confusing, Uraraka couldn't memorize it if she tried (which she did and failed at after about 2 minutes). Iida moved mechanically, which she should've expected from how he described his position, but it still surprised her how he memorized the maze and every shift in the structure (the maze walls moved every once and a while).
"We have almost arrived, please be respectful to the king so that things go smoothly," Iida said.
"Oh, why would things not go smoothly, I've only lost my way, it should be a quick meeting," Uraraka laughed nervously.
"My king has a short temper and is extremely territorial, he is not one to forgive easily, but he is a wise ruler."
"He doesn't sound too bad," Uraraka fidgeted with her hands as she said this, a small habit she formed for when she is lying.
Iida stopped suddenly and turned rigid, his helmet mask fell back over his face as he turned to Uraraka and said, "I will have to leave you at this point." He gestered at the maze opening, "I cannit leave the maze, another worker will guide you. Farewell Miss Uraraka."
"Thank you for your help," Uraraka replied as Iida walked away in a stiff march, his hands remaining stiff and blade-like as he swung them in time with his feet.
A pink haired and pink skinned girl bounced up to Uraraka. "Hey! I'm Ashido Mina, I heard there was a little angel lost in the maze."
"Oh, hello, I'm Ochako Uraraka, it is a pleasure to meet you," Uraraka replied, surprised at the girl's friendly demeanor.
Mina had yellow eyes with a black scelyra, and two yellow horns coming out of her head with a yellow spade shaped tail to match. "Well, just follow me and you can meet the playboy of hell!" She winked mishieviously.
Uraraka giggled and decided that she liked Mina, her playfullness was definately different compared to Iida's rigid perfectness.
Mina led her up to a georgeous obsidon palace, that had come into veiw shortly after the maze. The palace was not smooth in the slightest bit, it looked as if it had been carved hastily, it's sides and towers jaggedly cut. But the rushed look gave it a frighteningly beautiful nature, much better than the palaze in heaven in Uaraka's honest opinion.
Mina grabbed Uraraka's hand as she sprouted a pair of yellow wings from her back, matching her tail and horns, and cheered as she and Uraraka flew up the flights of stairs leading to the palace.
When they landed and Mina hid her wings again she said, "Ya might wanna hide those wings, babe. They're so big, kudos for that btw, that you might end up knocking some stuff down, the hallways can be pretty tight."
"Oh, yeah sure." Uraraka hid her wings, stumbling a bit with the weight suddenly missing from her back. She had only learned to hide her wings recently, since they were so big, and was still getting used to going around without them.
Mina led her into the palace, her playfull air dissapearing as they approached the throne room. She opened a set of huge gold doors revealing a gorgeously sculpted garnet throne, with a black crown sitting on one of the arm rests. Uraraka noticed, however, that the throne lacked a king.
Mina tsked at the abscence of the king and yelled for someone named Kirishima. A tall, muscular, red-headed man appeared. A pair of red horns, like his hair color, sat on his head, matching a red spade shaped tail.
"What's up Mina?" Kirishima asked, revealing a row of shark like teeth as he talked.
"Where is he?" Mina asked, tapping her foot. "I didn't bring this cutie here for nothing."
Uraraka sheepishly waved as the man introduced himself as Ejiro Kirishima.
"The one time we need him present and his ass is't where it should be, I swear to gods if he is out riding again..." Mina started going off, eventually stopping to tell Kirishima to find the king.
A while passed before a loud boom shook the castle. Yelling could be heard approaching the throne room, this only made Uraraka more nervous than before, which Mina noticed and helped by holding her hald and reassuring her.
The throne room door were thrown open as the king stomped through the room and threw himself on his throne.
There sat the most georgous man Uraraka had ever seen. The tall, spiky haired blonde had scarlette eyes that made Uraraka breath catch and her heart skip a beat. He had a pair of gleamingly sharp looking scarlette horns, and a sharp looking, scarlette, arrow shaped tail to match.
He sat with his head in his hand, his leg crossed over the other, and the most intense glare displayed on his face that it made Uraraka feel like she was melting under his gaze.
Mina wispered to Uraraka, "Meet hell's heartthrob, the king himself, Katsuki Bakugou."
