Frozen Fire(Mxm)[UNEDITED]
Chapter 22

Ragnor ☝🏻️

Ragnor POV

I didn't understand any of it. None of it made any sense.

A week ago, the only problems I had were stressing about whether people would laugh at me on the day I became a prince, or if I would faint.

How did my worries escalate from those that seemed so futile, to now taking over kingdoms.

I didn't want that. I hated bloodshed with a passion, but more than anything, I hated being the cause of that bloodshed.

No matter how much I refused, I was told that it was my fate and destiny. That I couldn't outrun it no matter how much I tried.

Asmodeus showed me the injustice and tyranny that was happening throughout the kingdoms at this moment.

Children were becoming orphans daily, as men and women were subjected to the worst of tortures and murdered for nothing.

"You can put an end to all that" he said as he turned away from the ball he used to show us.

One particular king, made my blood boil just by seeing his face.

The king of fire.

To say he was heartless would really be giving a heartless person a bad name. He was brutal and held no remorse for anything that he did. He tortured people just because he felt like it.

Even within his own palace, people were afraid of him. They constantly walked on egg shells around him in fear that he might have their head for looking at him in the eyes.

I could see where Solveig's anger towards his father , stemmed from. The man was never a role a model for his sons, if anything... he was every child's nightmare.

After seeing all of that.. I knew that as much as I hated it.. I need to make that change.. I needed to liberate all those people.

"Why did you take my blood?" I asked Asmodeus.

"So that I will always be connected to you. I was placed as your guardian. When you need me.. I will appear, however I can't change what is bound to happen " he said as he bowed.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked

"You will come to know" he said.

I turned to my side and saw Solveig standing with his head down, like he was thinking about something.

I knew he heard everything that was said. He must be in a dilemma right now. Having to choose between his people and me.

"Solveig.. you don't have to swear anything to m.." he cut me of as he dropped to one knee and bowed his head. My eyes widened as though they would fall out any second.

He was kneeling before me.. the very prince that was feared throughout kingdoms..was kneeling before me.. I couldn't believe it..

"I swear my allegiance to you my King. I will fight for you till my last breathe.. however I only ask one thing of you" he said looking down.

"What is it?" I asked.

"That you allow me travel ahead and talk with my father into surrendering. He is a man that cares not for anyone but himself. He will flood the land with the blood of his people, if it meant he could keep his throne. I only wish to talk sense into him and prevent that. If you wish"

It hurt to hear him speak to me like I was a total stranger. Like we didn't connect physically and emotionally these past few days.

Like he wasn't talking to someone that he felt comfortable with with. Like he was talking to ..

his king.

It made the reality dawn upon me even more, despite how much I tried to deny it.. the truth was..

He didn't love me.. like I loved him... and that was the worst pain anyone could ever feel.

I fought back the tears and looked away so I wouldn't see that look in his eyes.

"I will return back alone.. you may go back to your kingdom... if I don't receive word from you in two days, I will take it as your choice to side with your king."

"I give you my word" he said as he stood up. He looked me in the eyes, before he turned around and walked away.

This would be our relationship from now on.. barely even looking at each other. I watched him walk away from me.. smashing my heart into pieces with every step he took.

I thought I heard something behind me.. like footsteps and heartbeats..but when I turned.. I saw nothing..

I turned around and bid Asmodeus farewell, as I made my way home.

What would they think of me now.. would they accept me .. would they reject me like he did..

All these thoughts played on my mind as I flew through the clouds. It felt so liberating , to be able to leave all your worries on the ground and fly freely .

I closed my eyes and through back to the moment I shifted.. when he told me to focus on one sound and let it guide me..

I listened to his heartbeat.

It was the only thing I could hear in that moment. It calmed me and showed me the way..

I will wait for him.. however long it takes... I will wait for him..

Solveig POV

It broke my heart completely to walk away from him like that. I knew deep down that it was hurting him as well, but I fought it.. knowing it was best this way.

He might not understand now, but one day he will, that I did what I did.. I walked away from him...to protect him.

I felt that familiar feeling of anger and rage build up in me again.

Anger because I finally tasted happiness.. being with him was the only thing I wanted, only for it to be ripped away from me.

It took me a day to get to my kingdom since I flew most of the way and tied my horse to my back.

I flew over the gates, roaring so they would know it was me. Each dragon had their own distinctive roar, almost like a voice.. we could recognize one another by it.

I wasted no time ,going to straight to my father, who was sitting on his beloved throne.. as usual.

I removed my sword and placed it in front of me indicating that I did not come to fight, and bent down on one knee.

"Father.. I have come to.."

"I know why you have come son. Did you think that I would not know something as important as that. However I am surprised that it turned out to that weak prince out of all people." He said standing up from his throne.

"How did you know"

"I had you followed from the night you decided to stay .. and boy, did I make the right choice" he said as he motioned for his guards to come forward.

They surrounded me and two took hold of my arms and gripped tightly onto me.

"What are you doing.. let me go!.. father, what is the meaning of this?" I said as I tried to get out of their firm hold.

"I have no intention of surrendering, and since you have already sworn your allegiance to him, having you run about, compromises me." He said and turned around.

"Lock him up in the dungeons.. don't let him out at any costs.. once this is over.. I will decide what to do with him" he said to his guards.

"And you.." he said turning to me..

"I never would have imagined that you'd fall for a man and all it took was for him to spread his legs for you. Do you know how much that disgusts me. It goes against nature!! I will make sure to pass him your love when he breathes his last....you are an abomination and a traitor to our people, and for that you deserve to die.. I will make sure you die a slow death. But that will have to wait , I have to go and kill a saviour"

I chuckled slightly.. making him frown at me.

"That's where you're wrong. You know the legend as well...He isn't just a normal dragon.. nothing can penetrate him.. he can't be killed" I said looking him straight in the eyes.

"No.. but something from his own body can kill him. You have to penetrate to impenetrable with the impenetrable.." he said as he drew his blade.

"And how do you plan on doing that..he's probably half way in his kingdom by now... he's much faster than any of us" I said with a smirk on my face.

He traced his finger along the tip of his blade and smiled. He bent down till his mouth was in line with my ear and whispered..

"Do you remember when you marked him"

No....how did they see that.. I flew around the entire perimeter, making sure no one was there..

"His blood runs through your veins. You've become one. He is you and you are him. " he said as he pushed his sword through my stomach.

I gaged up blood as he brought a goblet to my lips and filled it. I fought and kicked to get him away from me, but his guards held me down.

I felt my wound heal and close as the blood in my mouth stopped flowing. He took the goblet away from my mouth and handed it to his guard.

"Take this to the swordsmith and tell him to begin immediately.. we don't have much time. And take this abomination out of my sight"

"Noo.. father please.. don't hurt him..." I screamed as they dragged me out.

No... no.. this wasn't supposed to happen.. I thought I could stop it.. I thought if I pushed him away then that would change the vision I had..

Of his death being my fault...
