Fire - Judar x Reader (Magi - AU)

" He set fire to the world around him, but never let a flame touch her..."

..............................

He knew he wasn't a good man. He had never cared when he had taken someone's life. To him, everything was expendable, not even a mean to an end, but just something to keep him entertained. But things had changed when he met her.

She was a sweet innocent girl. All things he hated. How could anyone be so kind and pure in a world like this?

The day he met her was the day Al Thamen sent him to create some chaos on a distant village. Why? He didn't know, it wasn't important really. Ice Spears rained from the sky, destroying and killing everything around him. Just when he thought about leaving, he felt something. The Rukh that swirl around him was acting strange, restless.

He flew down until his feet were touching the ground. Walking into small and almost destroyed house from where he was getting that odd feeling, he got covered in almost total darkness.

"Hello? Who's there?" A femine voice called from deeper inside the house.

Judar stood still watching as someone appeared from the shadows. A sigh escaped his lips when he saw the person standing in front of him.

There she was, a young girl, probably a couple of years younger than him. She was quite beautiful. Even with her messy (h/c), very pale skin and the fact that she looked like she haven't had a proper meal in a long time. Her clothes looked old and dirty. But what called his attention the most was her eyes. They were the lightest blue he had ever seen.

"What do you want?" The girl inquired.

"Who are you?" The magi took a step closer, examining her.

"Me? You're the one that intruded in my house. The polite thing would be for you to introduce yourself first, don't you think?" The girl smiled.

"You don't know who I am?" He asked, offended. Judar thought he was well known in every corner of the Kou Empire by now.

"I'm afraid not" She said, bluntly.

"You didn't see what I did back there? Or the fact that I'm holding this wand doesn't tell you anything?" He waved the said object in front of her.

"You're holding a wand?" She frowned.

"Are you stupid or something?" He asked, harshly.

"No, Sr. I'm blind" the young woman smiled again.

"Oh..." The dark magi stared at her for a moment "Well, that's not my problem. Now, who are you?" He insisted.

"My name is (Name)"

"You live here, alone?" He questioned, brows furrowing.

It amazed him how she kept her calm state while he questioned her.

"Yes. The fact that I'm blind doesn't mean I can't take care of myself" She smiled weakly.

"Don't lie. The way you look says otherwise" He teased.

"I've been living here alone since my mother die."

"And nobody helps you?" The dark magi didn't know why he was so interested in this weak girl, but the rukh around her made him feel like he had to knew more about her.

"No. They think I'm strange and they are afraid of me."

"Strange? How?"

"I can read people's rukh. For example, in your case, it's black." She pointed at him.

"And you aren't afraid of me?"

"No. I feel like you won't hurt me. You would've done it already if you wanted to."

Judar studied the girl for a moment. She was interesting to say the least.

"What did you mean when you said what you did out there?" She asked, bringing an end to his silence.

"You don't want to know" He replied in a cold, low voice. "Come on. You're coming with me"

"What? Why?" The girl took a step back.

"Because I say so." He grabbed her by her wrist, pulling her again him. "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I think you have had enough of that"

The girl winced when the night breeze touched her face. She felt the silence around her. Too much silence. All she could feel was the black rukh, coming from that man. What had he done?

The magi picked her up, one arm under her legs and the other supporting her back. A moment later her body was leaving the ground, causing her to hold on tighter to the stranger, with her arms around his neck.

Judar smirked gazing down at her. He was taking her away with him. She didn't know anything about him, or where they were going, but she didn't cry, not a single tear.

"W-We are flying!? How!?" She stuttered,  looking afraid for the first time.

"I'm a Magi" A  cocky grin appeared on his lips.

"A magi? You're Kou's magi?"

"Yes"  His red eye peeked over the girl he was holding.

"Can you tell me your name, magi?" She muttered.

He took a deep breath "You ask too many questions"He retorted, looking over her head toward the darkness. It was a cool, almost summertime night. The Sky was clear, not a cloud to be found anywhere.

"I'm sorry for questioning the person who's kidnapping me!" She huffed, causing him to smirk.

"I'm Judar"

"Where are we going Judar?"She exhaled, apparently accepting whatever her fate was.

"To the Palace" he spoke nonchalantly, finally getting tired of her chatter.

"Why?" The girl curtly questioned.

"I live there, and now, so do you"

Prince Hakuryuu looked up, staring into the night sky. He had been waiting for Judar to return and hours had passed by now.

The dark-blue haired boy had important things to discuss with the magi, most of them regarding his revenge and his mother.

The prince was about to give up and walk back to his room when he saw him. The dark magi had returned. But he wasn't alone.

Hakuryuu watched as Judar gracefully landed in one of the palace gardens before quickly heading inside, carrying someone into his room.
