Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Its almost been a day and a half and we've arrived at a huge mountain. Its covered in snow. Everything is frozen over. I don't hear much life around us like we did hours before. It's borderline lifeless here. Since the beginning  I've been uneasiness knowing it a trap yet having no other solutions. But seeing Juvia covered in demon marks that are killing her because she isn't a devil slayer is something I can't deal with. It's my theory but I believe its right.  She's quiet now but a few episodes of her writhing in pain for a day in a half is all I can take. I'm next to the carriage holding her hand when the prisoner whispers a latin phrase and black stairs appear out of no where on the top from the top of what I now know can tell is the base of a volcano.

We go down the spiral stairs for a while and come to see an ice city. No surprise there.  I see lots of people with coverings like mine and the prisoner and I smell blood every where. Gajeel comes over with a look if disgust too. I probably look The same. "Gray where the hell are we?" "Looks like hell to me" I say.
The tallest tower looks pretty far away. "We are going there" as we walk down the market we get plenty of stares from the store keepers and customers and we are all on high alert.

20 mins later we get to the castle and the prisoner tells them we need to see the castle mage and the king. He tells them something in a language I'm not sure about after that and they stare at me for a second. They look at Juvia and eventually let us in.

Although its freezing this castle is beautiful. Everything is covered in ice. We finally get to the doors that open to the thorn chambers and it's pitch black on the inside. It smells the worse I've smelled so far. I feel a pain in my side and feel myself being filled with energy for some strange reason. But I ignore it and the uneasiness grows exponentially in my body making me feel tight and ready to fight because running isnt a option. There's no turning back now. We're too close to a cure for Juvia.

As we go in i feel the presents of dozens of soldiers and if that isn't enough to know we aren't alone the red eyes watching us as we walk though darkness is. We make sure to stick together. We walk and in front of us is someone with the brightest bloodlust eyes in the room. when we get to him the lights turn on and everyone is still in one piece.

"Friends welcome to my quaint kingdom. Its pleasure to have your company" the king says. Somethings off and I'm losing patience as I hear him talk. Why do I have the pleasure of doing for you today? He has a sarcastic grin on his face and I know he knows what's going on.

Your highness this is Gray Fullbuster and he is looking for a cure for his partner who's been poisoned by demon blood. She won't make it without a cure. I see his face lift up from the side. Like when people smile. I get even more pissed. A set up. "My loyal servant you know there is no cure here. But you've done very well to bring the boy and his beautful sacrifice with him. Where are your brothers." The old man looks about 100 years old but still has fire in his eyes.

"What the hell are you talking about old man? I interject. What do you need with me? What do you mean there's no cure? Tell me right now!!!" He laughs and his eyes grow even more and I feel more energy come into me. What the fcuk man!. I'm angry I need to calm down.  "Why are you a$$holes doing this?" I see red in my vision and the feeling my eyes glow as I control my anger and use it to fueled my rage. Rage is like adrenaline to devil and demon slayers.

My dear boy to explain it simply to you. I am your grandfather. You are my grandson and i need you to be my heir. I sent my three finest soldiers to come get you and look only one returned. I'm impressed."

"Why me? What's happening to Juvia."" Oh Juvia what a beautiful name for a beautiful sacrifice or possible bride depends on you I guess. Well juvia will die in 24 hours you will be king and I will go to the underworld and rule for eternity as I should." 

Everyone suspected a trap so we are surrounding the carriage with juvia in it. Just in case they try to attack. We planned just in case but we also knew it was a mission we may not come back from.

"Your father was suppose to take over this kingdom but he died and you could not be found. Imagine my disappointment When I found you and realized he didn't even bother to pass he devil slayer magic down to you although you were born with great ability so I gave up on you. And decided you weren't worth the time to kill. I let you live although you were worthless. Aren't I too good to be true? But this woman fought your dad and was able to win and  kill him. Regardless of how she did it I knew I had to prepare for this day once again with her being beside you if you're willing to let her die and become a demon."

I just stare in disbelief. I don't believe him. He's spewing bulls*t I know it. He looks at me seriously and  continues

"There's no need for me to lie or keep secrets from you grandson. Simply put son you are the prince of all devil and demon slayers by blood. Why do you think Deloria was a feat you needed to conquer so badly? Juvia is a special case. Anyone who isnt a slayer would've died within hours of being poisoned by demon blood. But juvia has survived nearly two days. Its unheard of except for once and one condition.

Juvia is a devil slayer too. "
