Klasha the Unseelie

Male Reader x Female Monster

You've always had a green thumb and have been gardening since you were little. You loved flowers, but your favorite by far were roses. By the time you were a teenager, you had made a massive rose garden. It became a popular destination for royals and nobles in the area, and your roses were featured in some of the most lavish castles and palaces. You were so well known as the Master of Roses, you had been called for my kings and queens to design and grow their gardens. But your garden remained your passion.

Your skills had earned you good money, and you were able to live a comfortable lifestyle, but nothing gave you more pleasure than tending to your own garden. You were currently working on a new crossbreed, making a pink and white rose. You were getting close, but your efforts were stilled mottled at best.

You had given up on the project months ago when your sister had gone missing. She had been walking through the woods to come to visit you when she just vanished. You had searched high and low for her, but all efforts showed nothing. Months went by, and there was no word or sign. You had all but given up hope on finding her.

Then, one day, there was a knock on your door. Standing on your doorstep was an Unseelie knight, and beyond him, you saw the royal carriage of the King. You were frozen in fear, unsure why the Unseelie King would be here. What would he want with roses? He wouldn't need a gardener either.

She's tall and regal with eyes that resemble green glass. Her skin is faintly green with a lustrous shimmer. Her cheekbones are high and angular, sharp enough to cut glass. Her hair looks like the stems of rose, long greens stalk with sharp red thorns. They twist around her head, and some fall off her shoulder. You see small buds all through her hair, delicate roses just waiting to blossom.

You're in awe of her, and you can't stop staring.

She comes towards you with a sour expression on her face, and she thrusts something out at you. It's a mirror, and she's jamming it into your chest.

"A message from her majesty the queen," she scoffs. "Take it."

She slams the mirror into your hands, and you hold it up. In the place of your reflection, you see your sister.

"It's really you!" You gasp.

"Hello, brother," she says softly. "Oh, you look so well! I'm so happy to see you!"

"Where have you been?" You whisper. "You have been missing all these months!"

She smiles at you. "I am so sorry. I got married!"

"Married?" You frown.

Your sister turns, presenting a tall, dark man behind her. "This is my husband," she tells you, and your jaw goes slack. "This is Czernobog." She sits in his lap, and he puts his arms around her.

Czernobog smiles softly. "Well now, I've heard all about you, Master of Roses," he says with a silvery voice. "It is a pleasure to meet my Queen's family."

"Queen?" You whisper, everything still sinking in.

"I have a gift for you," Czernobog replies. "A rose from my garden, for yours. The beautiful Klasha, for you." You glance up at the thorny girl, still awed by the beauty she is. She looks at you, and a devilish smirk spreads across her lips. "My Queen thought she would be a good match for you. And since I got married Klasha has been lonely." He nuzzles to your sister's cheek. "She was head of my harem."

"Oh," you don't quite know how to respond to that.

"Did she give you my gift yet?" Your sister asks.

"Huh? Gift?" You ask.
