SOOOOO this is my first fan fic in a very long while but I got a massive amount of inspiration for this couple after reading another story and I had to keep it going. I will try to get a chapter out at least once a month. Give me your opinions as they will only help me grow as a writer but could possibly spark more ideas on how I get to the final chapter in my mind.

As of right now there are no lemons in this story but that could change later.

The Beginning.

The night was a bitterly cold night, the northern boarder was experience one of it's most harshest winters in recent history. The winds were blowing like crazy making

everything it touched freeze or shiver uncontrollably until death wasn't just another passing figure in the night. Despite all of this there was one human who enjoyed the

challenge, the temptation of death and battled it without breaking so much as a sweat, daring it to come for her. Relishing in the way the wind would at times caress her skin

attempting to punish, and other times completely avoid her like it sensed she was the dominating force here and not the other way around.

Walking out into a large clearing that was surrounded by trees on all sides stood the General of the Imperial army, the Ice Queen herself Esdeath. It was moments like this

she wanted to enjoy the silence away from all the noise of the capital or the battle that just ended. Letting her razor sharp senses and instincts collect back into them selves,

not that she minded any of it but at times she just wished to smell the fresh air and let her senses rage free without being bombarded by city sounds or the smell of death

and noises that would make any normal human psyche crash into itself.

Esdeath paused in the clearing for a little awhile letting her men enjoy them selves on the town they raided, realizing that once again she was left unsatisfied by the outcome.

The battle was over before it began really, the rebel army that was in the area was completely caught unaware that they were being tracked by Esdeath and her army and by

the time they managed to get the alarm off, her army had already descended on the town decimating everything and everyone in its path, no one was safe. she let her men

take care of everything this time not really bothering with the fight, other then cutting the heads off a few soldiers that tried to swarm her, she was mainly waiting for the

strongest to appear in the battle before she decided to step in, hoping that at least he would give her the entertainment she desired, but she wasn't expecting much when

she saw who that man would be.

For the most part she was disappointed in the challenger that had the biggest balls to step up to her, but she had given him her full attention hoping for something more then

what she fully expecting to receive. Recalling the way his face looked as she easily subdued him brought a small grin to her face.

Esdeath just stood there looking down at the man at her feet, his left arm severed at the elbow and his right arm completely facing the other direction with a couple of the

bones completely piercing through the skin.

"Fuck you, Ice Bitch." the man yelled at her, spit flying out of his now mostly toothless face landing on the front of her white generals uniform.

She looked down at him with disinterest, but as she noticed the clear rebellious defiance on his face a small smile broke through making him blink up at her suddenly fearful

as she let loose her aura that screamed of death and pain.

"Looks like you need to be taught a further lesson on how to speak to those clearly stronger then you" she said reaching down to grab him by the throat and lifting him up

until his toes touched the snow.

The man sensing this might be his only chance at inflicting harm on the Ice queen struck out with his boat intending to hit her in the side.

Esdeath felt the subtle shift in the mans muscles as soon as she lifted him up, noticing how his leg tensed even before he had made the conscious decision to strike. Letting

him get his hopes up she let him strike her in the side with his boat, barely noticing the hit only raising her eyebrow, the only sign she gave the man that she was aware of

what he was doing, never leaving eye contact with him.

"Now now, what do you think that was going to accomplish?" she said as she tightened her grip on the mans throat. Looking towards one of her soldiers she nodded and

watched the man run to one of the horses holding her supplies.

Looking at the now blue face she had in her hand she leaned in until her mouth was just inches from his ear and said in a voice only he could hear. "I hope you can at least

entertain me a little more this time, but I doubt you will, if you do I will give you a reward." letting her smile grow wider as she pulled back.

The soldier holding her supplies ran up to her and handed her a black leather covered bag that looked like it had been used quite a lot. It had her teigu's symbol etched into

the black leather.

Esdeath looked past the purple mans left shoulder and saw a small hut and decided that it would due for what she had planned next. Keeping the smile plastered on her face

she headed over to the hut shutting the door behind her with her foot. Her men knew not to bother her while she was having her fun, but that didn't stop them from getting

as close as they dared in hopes of maybe getting a peek at the carnage she was about to unleash on the rebel man through side holes in the hut.

The already noisy battle torn town was soon drowned out by the screams of the man locked in the hut with the Ice Queen.

Opening her eyes once again after reflecting on the most resent battle she took a couple steps forward until she was in the middle of the snowy clearing. Tapping into a small

part of herself she lifted her hand and gave a silent command and watched as a solid ice figure started to form from nothing. Once her creation was completed she looked at

her handy work and noticed that she must have subconsciously created the same person she had been dreaming about for the past month. Medium height, strong build with

slightly shaggy hair, the face was blank as she couldn't really recall specific details, but the figure left a feeling of loneliness in her all the same, something she was completely

not used to feeling. The only time she ever really felt emotions was when she was fighting or in the torture chambers trying out ideas she had on her victims. Something in

her wanted more, more then what she had, more then what she was already intimately experienced with. It wanted the stronger emotions she sometimes saw from the

couples walking the streets in the capital, or when they returned home and she saw one of her soldiers running to his loved one.

Her gaze returned back to the solid ice figure in front of her and decided she wanted to experience love.

Esdeath was many things but she was always honest with her self and her desires, and right now she desired to experience love and all that it meant. Hoping that she would

have more success in this venture then she did with trying to find an opponent that didn't utterly bore her in a fight.

Feeling resolute in her desire she started to think about what she demanded from a partner and his qualities. Focusing on the ice figure in front of her she started to come up

with requirements, but what stood out in her mind was he had to have a innocent smile.

Dismissing the ice figure she turned around to head back the way she came, holding a hand up to her cap as a gust of wind she wondered why she kept having dreams of a

man with shaggy brown hair and a beautiful smile that made her heart flutter every time she recalled it.

Returning back to town she went in search of one of her officer to inform him they were to start preparing for departure back to the capital. She completed her mission when

she killed the commander leading the rebel forces through these parts. She started to turn away so she could retrieve her dragon, but stopped when a soldier called out to

her.

"General, what should we do with the hostages?"

Eyebrows furrowing slightly she looked at the man and noticed he wasn't one of her regular men.

"Kill them, that's what you do. We don't let those who are to weak to fight live, and we certainly don't show them mercy. Weakness only breeds weakness and it should be

stopped at its core." Esdeath said turning away again.

"But General they surrendered, we should take a couple with us." The man said not realizing he was speaking back to the strongest woman this generation has every seen.

Letting out a sigh, she flicked her wrist and heard a soft thump behind her, disobedience was not tolerated and she expected the men who followed her to obey her command

without question. Turning her head as she walked out of the town towards her pet, she told another one of her men to start getting ready for departure. Not sparing the dead

soldiers body another thought. The only time she ever considered being merciful to her enemies was when she was given some sort of challenge from them, and even then

her mercy was giving them a swift death and not playing with them before she killed them.

Letting her dominating aura out she called out to her dragon and waited patiently for him to return to her. Wraith was her favorite pet because he never fully submitted to her

will for long and she enjoyed the game of making him bend to her without breaking him completely. She was sure that eventually she would have to kill the animal but until

then she would have her small amount of fun because he seemed to enjoy the battle of wills too.

With a gush of wind he settled down a few yards away from her and huffed in her direction, turning his gaze away from her in a show of disobedience. Chuckling as she

reached him she knew why he was showing this rare display.

"Come on don't be like that, you know I had to keep you out of the fight. You kill everyone and leave nothing left for me, and we cant have that." She gave the black scales

on his shoulder a punch and stared at him until he turned his big head and breathed heavily covering her in a drift of snow he blew up from his nose.

"So its going to be like that huh." Giving him a toothy grin she clapped her hands forward and commanded a big ball of snow and ice to drop on his head.

huffing at her again she could have swore she saw his eyes narrow as he lowered his head in obedience and let her mount him, nuzzling her from behind as she did.

Finally seated on the dragon she direct him towards the Imperial capital, once again thinking about her decision to try her hand at love. "He has to have a pure and innocent

smile on his face."

This is just the start. I will be getting into much more detail as I progress through the story with these two. Bare with me, I will be fun for all involved.
