The Dragon and The Queen [Closed, Fryst]

Like so many humans out there Fryst was rushing to her job, well not job in particular at this point is was more of a hobby, but the dance studio none the less. She loved living among the humans, each one had a certain beauty about them in their own way, and it always seemed that no matter how dark their history got, there was always a light to shine through it. This is one of the many reason that why, since being released from her adopted father prision that she was left in all those years ago she had decided to live among them not as a ruler, or protector, but as their equal, one of them even if she was not one of them. 


Years before she had perfected a technique that allowed this, non spiritual humans could see her and interact her, but on the flip side spiritual beings could not detect her reiatsu. To them she looked and felt like a normal human being, exactly what she wanted, but things did not always go as she had planned of course, she had met other spiritual beings in this city that visited and lived here, though some of them had no idea who or what she was, she was perfectly fine with that. As she hurried along on her daily routine, blonde braid bouncing on her shoulder, wearing a skirt that came to a few inches above her knees and a half shirt baby blue in color with some matching heels. That's when she felt it, a reiatsu signature, it's uniqueness dwarfed all others in the area, as many as there were given her broad mastery of her senses. She was having trouble pushing through all the others to see it clearly.  So with a sigh, as her curiousity got the best of her she made a quick turn into an alley. Thankfully her human body technique allowed her to still use stepping, or well any other ability, though it did not hide her reiatsu when using them.. it would immediately as she came out of her sonido. 


Without further delay she went into a masterful sondio appearing about fifty yards behind the signature, walking out of the alley and quickly mixing in with the crowd she began walking towards it as his feet hit the ground from dropping from the building. She wasn't staring directly at him, since she wasn't stupid and knew that anyone with that degree of power and flaunting it so openly would be looking for others. Finally as the male Arrancar walked down the street she she caught up to him walking behind him and eventually saddling up beside him.


"You know Mr. Not at least attempting to reign in that reiatsu of yours can cause a weak spiritual human to faint right? Wouldn't you do us all a favor and reel it in please?"


She offered a kind smile to him, trying to be as polite as possible. There was no possible way for him to know what she was by her standing next to him, her body looked, felt like a humans, and she would have no reiatsu signature. She was really hoping he wasn't a meanie face like some of the other shinigami and Arrancar that came through here.

My my how intuitive of him, she could tell he thought highly of himself just by the way he spoke, but he was nice enough to humor her request. Pulling in his reiatsu to just around them, which was fine with her. But now what? His questions were pretty spot on, or at least him stating his opinions and beliefs as he asked her. she always wondered why people did that. Ask a question and state what they think is the answer and not necessarily in that order. 


"Eh little old me? No one really, just a passerby that happened to notice you and your large swath of spiritual pressure left out to hang out for everyone to feel, see and possibly how it could hurt someone who didn't deserve it. "


She gave a giggle without thinking about it, she hadn't given her name for the simple fact that she had no idea if he knew who she was or not. There was a very very slim chance that he did, but if he was one of those that had served under her father.. she would rather not have to fight.  So she moved onto his next question with a kind smile as she looked down at the pavement for a second, the clip clop of her heels as she walked resounding behind them.


"And why do I care? Because I am one of them, I live with them, talk with them, share happiness and saddness with them. That's why, sure there really is no one around now that you could hurt with your pressure but, with traffic and everything else, one could come into get too close without realizing it you know?"


She had told the truth.. kind of. She considered herself more human than anything these days, after all she lived like one, had a job like one, spoke to them ate with them.. really everything that one could do to interact and be one of them she did. So why couldn't she be one of them?

My my he was a curious one still, it was clear she didn't trust him enough to give him her name. A random strong arrancar shows up and starts inquiring as to who she is? Not kosher in her book, she may answer him however but as she thought more about it he gave his name and something that outright made and laugh and giggle more than it should have probably. Who does that?! Who introduces themselves as a Vasto Lorde?Then as the "protector" of this city... This man was more insane than she thought, she sure as hell wasn't going to give him her name now. Someone who is a self proclaimed "protector" yet takes no steps to actually protect it, walking around his reiatsu just hanging out for a shinigami to track him down and start a fight.. Fryst didn't often think of people as "less intelligent" or anything but this one.. if he was serious needed some work in her book, lots of it.


"I'm sorry hehehehhahaha, you are just too much Izzy-san. You need to work on your introductions a little bit. No one cares for what you are, and to be fair, no one except another hollow would know what a vasto Lorde even is. It makes you sound like you are a little too self entitled. "


She offered another giggle thinking about it.


"And proclaiming yourself some protector of this city, and not taking steps to hide your reiatsu basically begging for shinigami to come and fight with all these people around.. I'm sorry Izzy-san but you are no more a protector of this city than I am, which I am not. Take it from the girl who has lived here for awhile okay? This town doesn't need a protector if it ever is endangered, serious danger. Us that live here are more than strong enough to defend it okay?"


She sighed shaking her head still not believing that she had heard it, she was just giving him advice though, Friendly advice that is. She didn't really mean any offense at all, just simply to prove the point that he was not doing his self proclaimed title justice by claiming it and taking no steps to follow up through it.  Hmm maybe she had been kind of rude so she sighed.


"And my Name is Fryst, nice to meet you.."


She offered another kind innocent smile.

Awww this one was far to serious, she was not mocking him at all, he just made her laugh. If she was mocking him she would have told him to get a job like the rest of them, but that wasn't necessary she honestly had not met anyone with these serious a qualities since lancelot all those years ago, it was refreshing and yet sort of off putting at all the same time.  So she gave him a kind smile looking into his eyes with her own crystal blue ones. 


"Aww Izz-kun.. can I call You that? I am not meaning to be mocking I promise you, it's just it has been a long time since I have met someone like you.  That's not saying someone like you is a bad thing it is just..."


She took a deep breath smiling then looks back at him. 


"Ya I wasn't trying to make fun of you at all, it's just when you introduced yourself and in such a sort of.. serious way it reminded me of someone I once knew, someone that was very special to me. Not to mention , a lot like him, your social skills are a little rigid.. hehe. But what am I? Ummm who knows? Why don't we play a game then okay? You take a guess at the answer to any of your questions you have for me, one guess at a time. And I will say yes or no, and in turn every time you take a guess, I get to take a guess about you okay?"


She gave another playful smile skipping a little ahead, even in her heeled boots she was wearing her balance was perfect, skipping a few steps ahead of him she turned to face him and smile. 


"And to get you started I will say I am neither Shiniami nor quincy, and I am neither at the moment as far as ally or an enemy goes. I don't want to become the latter but.. there is a first time for everything I guess.. so just don't fes up to mass murder and we will be okay.."


She sticks out her tongue playfully at him with a smile and a wink, putting a hand on her hip.

Fryst had a suprised smile on her face, though his guess was purely off of his own arrogance thinking nothing but a vasto lorde arrancar could "stand" in his presence and whatnot he was correct and via the rules of the game she had to answer so with a cute innocent smile she nodded.


"Correct and right again! Wow you are good at this Izzy-kun!"


It would be hard to tell if she was mocking him or not but she was being genuine most would not have guessed those two in rapid succession like that but again, his assumptions were clearly based off of his own warped sense of self. 


"though being a vasto lorde has nothing to do with you not being able to sense me, we will just keep that between you and me.. okay it's my turn! Umm..."


She tapped a finger against her chin as she stopped walking backwards and went back to walking next to him on his left side.


"Are you.. here in this city because you got bored of that stupid desert?"


She looked over with her cyrstal blue eyes curiously.

Fryst snickered at his explanation as to why he was in this city. How ironic, as to her based on his behavior so far, he was one of the hollow that he spoke about, she should probably point that out too. So she waited till he had asked his question and shook her head.


"Nope sure haven't Izzy-kun! But I'm gonna let you in on a little advice coming from a well cultured girl like myself okay? You came into this city to get away from arrogance, and yet, and don't take this the wrong way but.. you have shown ME quite a bit of arrogance yourself. I have shinigami and human friends that can stand next to you and not bat an eye at your reiatsu.. it doesn't take much to stand in it.. even if you flex it down on someone. "


She giggled a little bit innocently.


"So perhaps you should look at yourself before you try to figure out others and judge them? I have learned a long time ago that simple steps like that will end in less violence and more allies."

She played with her braid thinking to herself what she should ask since it was her turn, watching him out of the corner of her eye.


"Umm are you the kind of man who can learn from others? Or do you not listen to advice when given."


She gave a playful cheeky smile and winked at him, waiting for his answer. She figured by now given his level of arrogance and curiousity he was sizing her up already. She was ready though, for whatever he would throw at her.

She listened to his words with her regular smile on, it only falling when hearing about his tough times. Everyone had them but at least she had been lucky normally when dealing with shinigami.. except that time with Raiden-kun.. poor guy. She got an idea though smiling as she looked over.


"Well Izzy-kun I hate to say it but you are doing a poor job the way you are. A protector doesn't walk around with all his power hanging out just asking for someone to attack him. A protector is someone who is there but not really noticed, it's a thankless title you see.. a lot like a piece of armor for a knight. The knight never thanks it's armor, it knows its there. but he doesn't bow down to it. Also like i said earlier you can hurt someone not reigning in your reiatsu.. I know trust me."


She sighed shaking her head for a moment.


"I guess my point is Izzy-kun is that if you want to protect the city that's fine and all, but there is a right way to do it.. and a wrong way to do it. What you are doing right now.. is the wrong way. You want to be that armor? Let people forget you are there until you save their lives, then they will remember you and love you for it.. You go around throwing out your power and acting all, and again no real offense, but arrogant like you were earlier and well.. people will think you are a problem not a protector. "


She would stop now and smile up at him tilting her head.


"You see what I am saying? Also.. sorry to hear about the shinigami thing, you just havent met the right ones in my opinion, since I have many friends among them.. Maybe I'll introduce you and show them you aren't so bad when you drop the tough guy act."


She stuck out her tongue playfully at him.

He hadn't heard a word she said, well not really anyways. She pouted her lips out now, feeling mildly irritated that he had not gotten the point of her words, and advice. Maybe she needed to make it more clear. When he asked why why he should give shinigami a chance she sighed, speaking out more.


"Okay let me be clear Izzy-kun. I have friends.. lots of friends and some of them are shinigami, You SHOULD give shinigami a chance because not all of them are the same, much like us. This whole time I've been trying to give you advice to not only help you legitimately become a protector of this city, but also to be a good one. All you heard was your own disdain for the shinigami, so.. let me be more clear."


Again she stopped and this time used sonido, instantly appearing in front of him. For a split second the full strength of her reaitsu would be felt as she used it, but as the sonido ended so did the reiatsu, as it only surfaced when she used techniques and reiatsu through her flase body.


"You will reign that reiatsu and that attitude in when dealing with people especially shinigami in this city or me and everyone else will deem you a problem.. and trust me. It won't have to be me that handles you, my friends are just as strong as me if not stronger in some cases... You want to protect us? Cool do it the right way.. you want to live up to those words you spoke? Good, but if I ever hear or feel of you hurting or fighting with one of my people, especially the shinigami.. You will no longer be living in this city.. and quite possibly at all. So you ask WHY you should give them a chance Mr. Rude pants?! huh?! It's because your life depends on it when in this city..."


She narrowed her eyes at him, having worked herself up to be furiously mad. How could someone be so narrow minded and short sighted as to not listen? she had been so kind and nice to him and all he gives her is that shit?! She immediately turned on a dime and began walking away, clenching her fists.

She scoffed at him, if he still remembered what it was like to be human then he was too young to know what she was trying to tell him about responsibility, his words about her essentially being adorable, only made her more mad. She puffed out her cheeks for a moment at him as he tried to make some retarded deal.


"Okay Izzy-kun you wanna give it a shot good, that means I don't have to deem you a problem. Gods we might even be friends once I talk that attitude out of you, maybe humble you down a little bit.. Also I can't just summon up my friends.. they come and go as they please, they are shinigami. Though next time one is in town.. I'll make sure you meet him or her depending on which one. Okay?"

She sighed rubbing her face with her hand, she needed to stay clam, last thing she needed today was to ice some young buck arrancar new to town to the sidewalk.

"Listen Izzy-kun... you've had it rough that sucks.. but that doesn't mean give up on someone. You aren't exactly approachable either. So how about this until I can change your mind.. you tone it down ya? Stay with me a few days or a week till one of my friends comes around... maybe you will learn something okay? Because the way I see the future going is A: WE make you better and more personable.. or B: Someone is going to kill you because you mouthed off to them or, were endangering people in this city. A prime example is controlling ones own reiatsu to a small confined area."

Another deep breath sighing reaching out her hand.

"C'mon I wanna show you something maybe lighten your spirits a little bit.."
