Chapter Text
Uraraka raced through the shrubbery, not understanding exactly where she was headed. All she knew was… heaven was being attacked. A group of jester demons broke through heaven’s gates and started attacking all the angels. She decided then that she hated jester devils, the tiny little things are more trouble than they seem. King Toshinori told her to seek help, Queen Inko of the purgatory realm specifically. She dashed off immediately, determined in this new task, but now she just found herself lost in who knows where.
Uraraka slowed down, bending over and panting a bit, wishing her wings weren’t quite so large and noticeable. They have always been large, since she was a child. She had a gift for flight, one she never seemed to fully understand.
She ripped the bottom off of her long white and gold dress, cropping it to a little bit above her knees. She continued to tear the fabric until she had a bandage sized wrap and used it to patch up her leg, which had started to bleed again. She looked up again, realizing she was completely lost. None of the plants were things she had ever seen before. She turned around and walked around lazily, taking in the garden. Uraraka felt her back hit something and she froze, she slowly turned around.
“Eep!”
She sighed with relief, it was only an armor statue, nothing to be afraid of, until it laid it’s hand on her shoulder.
“Miss,” a commanding voice boomed from the armor. “I’m afraid you should not be here. By the king’s laws I must take you in.”
Uraraka quivered for a moment, not answering, the soldier not moving again also. After a moment, she spoke.
“D-do you have to? I didn’t mean t-to come here” She continued to stare at the soldier’s metal feet, in fear of what she would find if she looked up.
“Afraid so, miss. I apologize in advance, but it is my duty to serve my king.”
Finally, Uraraka worked up the courage to look up and found that the soldier had lifter his mask. Instead of the scary monster she expected, she saw a strong jawed man with blue hair and eyes, and glasses. It was not at all what she had been expecting so she breathed a sigh of relief.
“I am sorry to have frightened you, miss.” The soldier stepped down from his podium, and removed his hand from her shoulder, keeping a hand warily close to his sword though. “My name is Tenya Iida. I am one of the guards posted here in the maze. The guards in the maze remain mostly as statues, unless we catch motion. Then we wake and find out what is happening and if we must protect the king.”
“Oh, wow! I’m Ochako Uraraka by the way.” She smiled, relieved at how polite the guard was.
“Well, Miss Ochako. Will you come with me willingly? Or will I have to use force?” Said the guard, hand resting on his sword and one twitching as if ready to grab her.
Well, I want to know where I am, and I could get useful information by going to see whatever king rules here so….
“Yes, I’ll come willingly.” Said Uraraka, as she let herself be led away by the clanking guard. Not quite sure of what awaited her.
