My Little Raven + Zatz x (n-b)reader

The Underworld

“That’s right.”

“All right, Maya and Y/N.” The Queen said, giving in. “For this mission of diplomacy, you must be properly dressed.”

We walked into a weapon room.

“Oh, no, no, no, no. Not another Princess dress, please! I could barely walk in that last one. How come Y/N doesn’t ever have to dress formal.” She glared at me in envy.

“Because I’m not royalty.” I told her casually.

“Lucky.” She said underneath her breath.

“Never thought this would see the light of day again.” The Queen pressed open a door, revealing an Eagle Warrior armor.

“Woah . . .” Maya and I gasped.

The King chuckled. “Your mama used to do some damage with that thing.”

“Yeah, I bet.” Maya stared, amazed.

“It was a true honor for any warrior to die by her beautiful hand.” He took her hand in his.

The Queen clicked her tongue. “Ay, gordo, you say the sweetest things.” She giggled.

“Pfft-” I put a hand over my mouth.

“Don’t laugh.” Maya whispered, but she was trying not to laugh.

“This is how they flirt? I can’t-” I wheezed. Maya pinched me.

“Ow!” I hissed. “What was that for?”

“It made you stop laughing didn’t it? And it was revenge.” She smirked.

“Petty.” I mumbled.

The Queen brought Maya closer to the battle armor.

“And now my Eagle armor is yours, Maya.”

“Gracias, Mama.” Maya hugged her.

“Don’t think we forgot about you, Y/N.” The King said.

“Ooh, I get something too?” 

“These earrings, and this necklace.” They handed the jewelry to me.

“Uh, thanks?” Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful and all, but why did Maya get cool battle armor and I get jewelry?

I guess they saw my face fall because they chuckled. “We found this when we found you, mi hije.”

“We didn’t give it to you sooner because you know how you kids are, losing things all the time. But you’re of age now, so we wanted to return it. Maybe it’s a clue to finding your parents.”

My parents.

I was found in a river near the Teca Palace, the guards saw me and reported it to the King and Queen. That’s how I ended up here.

“Thank you, my King and Queen. But really, you guys are the only parents I’ll ever need.” I smiled. They ended up hugging me.

“And you’re like the baby we never had.” The Queen joked.

“Hey!” Maya shouted.

“Shouldn’t act like a brat all the time and maybe you’d be the favorite.” I stuck my tongue out at her.

“I’ll remember that.” Maya warned playfully.

“Sure you will.” I said as I put on the earrings and the necklace.

As Maya was putting on the armor, she smelt one of the shoes and gagged. I bet it smelt like victory. Which is something our brothers would have said.

I miss them.

“This was my first weapon.” The King opened a golden chest. “Ah. We fought the whole world together.”

Maya gasped. “Eagle Claw!”

I put my hand over my mouth to stop myself from cackling. Look how small that weapon is in the King’s hand. He literally has to hold it with his index finger and his thumb.

“Oh, yeah. To be young again.”

"What does this man eat? Geez." I laughed.

“And now Eagle Claw is yours, Maya.”

“I accept it in the name of the Tecas.” She jumped back and started swinging it, almost slipping. “And I will wield it with pride.”

I grinned and shook my head.

“Our Little Eagle and Raven Warriors are ready.” The King said giddy.

After that we went to go find Chiapa.

“Chiapa has been through all of the realms. He’ll guide you. And you’ll have the map we made for you.” The Queen informed while lighting the way.

“Chiapa!” The King whistled.

“Perhaps he isn’t quite ready.” 

“Chiapa, come out here!” The King loudly commanded, shaking the whole room.

“Easy, Papa.”

Chiapa ended up poking his head out, but he still kept to himself.

“Come on, old friend. We need you for one last mission.”

You could tell Chiapa was right back there, reliving the hopeless battle.

“Hey?” I called. “We need you, Chiapa. All we have to do is bring back three warriors. I promise.”

He shook his head.

“I can’t do this without you.” I held his furry face.

He eventually collected himself together and stood up. Ready to go.

It was morning now, and we were preparing to leave.

“You have everything you need.” Said Maya’s mother.

“Follow the map.” The King ordered.

Maya rolled her eyes. “Thank you.”

“Y/N, Maya, speak to no one. And no matter what, no fighting.” She hugged us.

“I’ll protect them, I promise, your majesty.” I whispered to the Queen.

“Stay safe, look out for yourself as well.” She nodded.

Chiapa snarled at us, probably telling us ‘let’s go’.

We hopped onto his back.

“Take care of each other and do not separate.” The King emphasized.

“May the celestials illuminate your way, my loves.” The Queen sighed. “We shall see you soon.”

“If it is to be . . .” The King held out his fist.

“It is up to me.” Maya fist bumped him.

I groaned. “You guys say this ALL the time.”

“Be quiet, Y/N.” Maya shushed.

“Be quiet, Maya.” I mocked in a higher pitched voice.

“Ay, this is going to be a long trip.” The Queen said.

Chiapa roared and we were off. They waved us good-bye, trying to not look worried, but I could tell they were. I just hope I can keep my promise.
