The Legend of the ruthless Empress Freya

-- POV Shiro --

I was in mommy's arms and we were about to fly in the sky. I couldn't believe it was true and I was holding on to her as tight as I could. I was scared and shaking, but I really wanted to know what it felt like. When I was alone in the human town, I often looked up at the birds in the sky and wondered what it would be like to fly. Today, once again thanks to Mommy, I could already live one of those dreams.

"Do you trust me ?"

"Mmh ! More than anyone else mommy..."

As I clung even more tightly to her clothes, in one big leap mommy jumped down. A small scream escaped my mouth as I closed my eyes tightly. I could feel my body falling like it was never going to stop and I couldn't help but scream a little louder.

"Mo...mommy ! Don't let me down !"

Just as those words had escaped my mouth, I felt my body rise again and my mommy's hand rest on my head.

"Never.."

The wind was blowing hard through my hair but I wasn't cold because her warmth and that word were warming me. My eyes were still closed and as I held my doll tightly, I could hear Mommy's voice in my ears once again.

"Sweetie, you can open your eyes"

I could feel that we weren't falling anymore but I was unable to open my eyes. I knew I had insisted on coming but it was scarier than I thought. My body was shaking and yet I couldn't move as I felt my tail shaking between my legs.

"I..."

"My little moon, it's all right, we are immobile"

[Little Shiro, you are safe, don't be afraid]

I could hear the voice of mommy and aunty Kira reassuring me, so with courage I fearfully opened my eyes. We didn't move and as my eyes were finally opened, a new incredible landscape was in front of me. Mom Gaya was coming to our side and in front of me I saw the sea even bigger than I had imagined. Even from where I was I couldn't see the end and the sun was shining like a big ball of fire. The sky wasn't blue yet but shone with a red, orange light that reminded me of Mom Gaya's hair.

"This is...this is beautiful !"

I couldn't help but marvel at the pretty colors as I heard the waves below us. It was wonderful, amazing and even all the cakes in the world were not worth this place. My fear was slowly turning to wonder as I heard mom Gaya speak.

"It seems our daughter was speechless at the dawn haha~"

I didn't know what she meant by that but if she was talking about this place, then yes. Everything was perfect, calm, magical and a strange feeling came from my heart. It was beating faster and faster as I thought I was flying through the sky. Turning back to mommy who was looking at the horizon, I looked up to ask her a question.

"Say mommy, is it...is it okay to fly a little ?"

Her blue wings were the same color as the midday sky and as she nodded with a smile, mommy began to move her wings. Mom Gaya was next to us flying at the same speed while I was living a daydream. The wind was blowing harder but I didn't feel like I was falling like before. My body was floating, the feeling of being carried in the air was weird at first but I liked it a lot. Mommy was still holding me tightly and so I looked straight ahead, I felt like she was taking me far away.

[Tell me if you are scared little Shiro]

"I promise aunty"

I felt that everyone was worried about me from the beginning. Aunty Kira who usually always made jokes had a softer voice and I knew that mommy and mom Gaya were watching over me. It was like I could feel all their love warming my belly even more than the sunlight. I was so happy and absorbed in the moment that I unintentionally let go of my hand. The doll, which I had forgotten a little, fell into the void without me being able to do anything.

"No Lily !"

[Onee-san !]

She was my first confidant and almost followed me since I was in this world. The spider man had repaired her, made her more beautiful and even made clothes so I named her Lily. This doll that was so precious, so important, I couldn't catch up with her anymore as I saw her fall before my eyes.

"Nooo !"

She was about to plunge into the sea and as I felt the tears coming, Mom Gaya caught her immediately. She had been quick, quiet and unlike Mommy, she seemed more comfortable in the air. My precious Lily was in her hand and as I saw Mom Gaya flying towards us, I couldn't help but cry anyway.

"Sniff..T...thanks Mom..sniff..."

My tears were flowing on their own and even Mommy's hugs and Mom Gaya's smile couldn't stop me. I had been so scared, for a moment I had thought I would never see her again or be able to hold her like before. As I rubbed my face, aunty Kira's voice echoed in my head.

[Onee-san do something ! Aaarg I feel my heart clenching...wait...I have no heart ! Damn it ! Little Shiro don't cry anymore, everything is fine. Onee-san !!!]

"Hihi~"

Despite my tears, I couldn't help but laugh because she was so funny. Aunty was talking fast, shouting and I didn't understand everything but as always she knew how to make me laugh. I finally calmed down while it was Mommy and Mom Gaya's turn to hug me.

"It's ok my little moon, look Mom Gaya caught her before she fell"

"Don't cry anymore sweetheart and smile. We all love to see you smile and be happy"

[Give us a beautiful smile my little Shiro]

Their words were comforting, my moms and my aunt always brightened my life. When I was with them, I always felt like crying with joy at some point. As I looked up at my still wet little eyes, I nodded my head and smiled as hard as I could. I was still little so I had a hard time not crying but Mommy had told me it was okay so I didn't want to hold back anymore.

"Sniff..it's okay..I..sniff...thank you so much !"

Mom Gaya was giving me a kiss on the cheek while Mommy was stroking my head. We were still in the sky and its color was no longer red but blue. The horizon had changed color and my heart felt more soothed. While my gaze was still fixed on that sun that was hurting my eyes, Mommy was talking.

"Sweetie ? Look"

I then lifted my head to look at her and suddenly Mommy raised her closed hand into a fist right in front of my eyes. I didn't know what she was holding in her hand but I couldn't wait to find out. Little by little she was opening her hand and suddenly dozens of little ice butterflies would magically pop out.

"Woooow !"

They were all cute and tiny and flew all around us as if they wanted to play and be my friends. Mommy was looking at me with a tender smile while Mom Gaya was also impressed with what she was seeing. We were in the middle of the sea, above, alone and I was experiencing the most beautiful morning of my life. I felt like I was in another world where butterfly fairies were keeping me company.

"Freya...how do you do that ?"

"I'll explain later, but look at this !"

I didn't speak and neither did aunty Kira as I looked around to figure out what was going to happen. The butterflies flew away from us which made me a little sad, to fly towards the sun. They were shining like little treasures and seeing them like this made me happier. Suddenly, all these cute little creatures started to gather to form a beautiful bird with big wings and a crest. It was the most beautiful one I had seen in my whole little life and I couldn't help but get excited as I saw it spinning through the skies.

"Mommy mommy ! A bird !"

While I was screaming with surprise, my mommy had started to flap her wings to join him and fly by his side. My eyes were filled with new sensations, new images and above all with a very, very great happiness. The beautiful bird was flying right in front of me, Mom Gaya was on our left and we were flying towards the sun. Lily was in my hands and I was careful to raise her head so that she could see everything.

"See how amazing this is ? It's even better than cakes hihi~"

[Aarw so cute]

"Yes"

"So sweet"

This moment that I spent with everyone I wanted to keep in my mind and in my heart. I didn't want to forget that magical moment when for the first time my mommy made me fly with her. Our hair was in the wind, our bodies in the sky and we were flying as if nothing could stop us. For me...it was a magical and unforgettable morning.

-- POV Freya --

We had just spent an incredible morning with our family. With Gaya and Kira, we had taken Shiro flying for the first time and despite a few tears, she had been more than happy. When we came back, her eyes were still shining and my little trick with the butterflies and the bird had made a huge impression on her. My little moon had even spoken of an unforgettable and magical morning.

[It was absolutely great onee-san ! Didn't you think it was cute when Little Shiro called the bird Birdy ? Pfffhaha~]

Indeed, my little daughter had come up with a name for the creation I had made during our flight session. She knew perfectly well that it was not real and simply created by me but deep down she wanted to believe in it and had finally done it. Shiro had named this bird Birdy, a name that no one had refused especially when it was our little moon.

*It was much too adorable yes kufufu~*

The sun was high in the sky and this magical morning had given me more strength to face the next step. It was now time to meet with the Commanders, Lieutenants, and Section Leaders to reveal the truth.

*Well, an hour ago I contacted everyone by telepathy, everything should be ready in a few minutes*

[Yes, I think they understood the urgency of the situation]

What had happened in the mansion last night had gotten a bit out of hand among the section Leaders and employees, so everyone knew I had something important to say. I was now in my office waiting for one of the soldiers to knock on my door to let me know. Exceptionally, it was not Triss or Lia who had to accompany me because they had been summoned like everyone else.

I wore an ice mask so as not to surprise anyone or cause any embarrassing reactions for those who were present. I had the same black suit as at my coronation : boots, gloves, pants and a black and gold jacket with of course my Imperial cloak, my katana and my ice crown.

*Kira, I consider this event official*

[And you are right]

I had arranged to meet the people involved in the throne room and not the meeting room of the mansion because the topic was too important. Gaya and Shiro would not be there exceptionally because our little moon couldn't stay that long without getting bored. So my wife had offered to take care of her while Triss, Lia, and Viana appeared before me.

"Your Highness ?"

As I was lost in thought, a soldier's voice came from behind the door.

"Your Highness, everyone is in the throne room as you requested and waiting for you"

"Very well thank you !"

As I had sensed, it was now time to go and reveal my unique existence to people other than Gaya and Shiro for the first time.

*Let's go !*

[Yes ! Don't forget onee-san, I'm with you !]

Neither of us really knew how the others would react to all this more than unreal information. As I nodded with a small smile, I gently opened the door of my office and walked out. In front of it were, as usual, two soldiers who hastened to greet me respectfully before escorting me out.

"Empress !"

They walked in front of me in a gait that showed their high level of stress. I could feel their gazes turn to me discreetly every second and their hesitant steps as we walked through the hallways.

[Are you stressing ?]

*No. I will be sincere with them and if some of them don't accept my story then they will be free to leave. I don't want to impose anything on anyone and no matter where I come from, I am still Freya, the Empress of Elysium*

I wasn't afraid of not being accepted because I knew that could happen. Of course that didn't mean I wouldn't be sad or disappointed, but those emotions wouldn't interfere with my Imperial duty.

My footsteps echoed through the wide corridors as I walked with a determined look on my face and eyes straight ahead. My cloak flew behind me along with my black hair, which I had cut down to my waist. The ice mask, although hiding my face, could not hide my horns, more terrifying and beautiful than before as a dangerous atmosphere reigned around me.

*We are almost there*

The large wooden door leading to the throne room was in front of me and as I approached, I could hear the commotion of the people inside. The soldiers guarding the door, at the sight of me bowed as those who had escorted me returned to guard the imperial office. With a loud bang, the heavy door opened slowly, revealing me in the middle, in front of the large carpet leading to the Empress's throne....my throne.

"Her Highness, Empress Freya of the Elysium Empire !"

One of the soldiers had called out my name and as the various figures straightened up, I began my imperial march to my seat. I was as confident as the she-wolf that I was and as I moved forward, my immense presence invaded the huge room from all sides.
