Chapter 24

Xar-‘’ but here is the thing I don’t really care about others, only those close to me, so there is no reason that I should join you’’ I responded to her causing a slight smile to creep onto her face.

Kitsune-‘’ I understand your scepticism but wouldn’t you rather have a large force of highly trained soilders helping you than have to fight every single person that wished to harm those you care about?’’ she asked me as she held up her hand and began to seemingly sharpen her nails.

She sat there looking at her nails as she waiting for me to answer, every so often a smile would creep on to her face as she looked at me.

Kitsune-‘’ So your answer?’’ she looked at me out of the corner of her eyes.

Xar-‘’ What would I have to do if I did join the clan?" I asked her for clarification.

Kitsune-‘’ What you would do is rather simple, help me try to create a safe haven for every race and raise the next generation of the clan’’ she said as she walked over to me and placed her hands on my shoulders.

Xar-‘’ Fine, only for the fact that my loved ones can be protected more’’ I said as I shrugged her hands off my shoulders.’ Turya’s is gona be mad at me now, but I’d rather her mad that hurt’’.

Kitsune-‘’ Good now you have two weeks to find a mate if not I will assign one to you’’ she said as she led me towards the door, she opened the door to see a group of female kitsune wear armour and with a type of spear that I had never seen before, they seemed to be a 5 ft pole with a sword on top of it. They then bowed as we came out while one walked towards us, I couldn’t make out what this kitsune looked like but I could tell she was rather high ranked inside the clan.

Kitsune in armour-‘’ we greet the revered mother and master dragon’’ she bowed to both of us. Before stepping to the side.

Kitsune-‘’ oh by the way my name is Kuroki , I know not a very inventive name but it’s what I got , so if you will excuse me I have to go a deal with certain matters’’ she said before walking off with the armoured kitsune following her.

After she had walked away I decided to go and look for Turya and kelriea and explain the situation to them, as I walked around I couldn’t help but notice that only the female kitsune had more than one tail while the males only had one. Every single one of the females would look at me with lustful eyes as I walked past but they wouldn’t act.

As I was walking around one thing I did notice is that every single person here was wearing some type of robe, I found this rather odd as I was used to people wearing tunic and the like when outside.

Eventually as I was walking around I found Turya and kelriea talking to someone who seemed to be human, they hadn’t noticed me getting closer to them as I walked over but from where I was I could hear what they were saying.

Human-‘’ you really are a worthless sister aren’t you demon’’ the human said with utter hate oozing out of his voice.

Turya-‘’ shut up you scum, what gives you the right to insult her’’ she spat at him as she placed a hand on her sword hilt.

Human-‘’ quiet wench, if you don’t shut up I shall have to force you to be the play thing of my elite guard, but don’t worry il make sure they pay you well for your body’’ he said to Turya as he folded his arms in front of him, I decided to sit back to see what Turya would do to him for what he said.

Turya’s face grew cold as she reached for her sword, the human looked at her with a amused expression he was most likely thinking because she was a woman that she was weak, Turya drew her blade and in one quick motion slashed the humans face taking out one of his eyes, he yelped out in pain as he fell to the ground clutching his face as the blood welled in his hands, upon hearing him scream a group of 5 guards ran over and drew their sword pointing them at turya.

Guard-‘’ how dare you attack the prince when he was trying to help you, you will die for your insolence’’ he said before charging her by himself, at this point I decided to intervene and threw a bolt of lightning at him. The guard yelled in pain as he was cooked alive inside his metal armour, the lightning bolt then arced onto another guard but it only wounded him as the power had decreased slightly.

The guards turn to see me standing there as lightning was coiling around my right arm, they took one look at me and charged most likely mad seeing as I had killed one of their comrades, as they got closer I simply cast a quick ice spell with my left hand causing them to slow down as the floor became a single sheet of ice, they fell onto the ground where stakes of ice burst out and killed them all.

I walked over to Turya who was looking in disgust at the human on the ground. She looked at me a flashed a quick smile, she put away her sword before walking over to me with Kelriea behind her.

Xar-‘’ Hi darling, I see you found someone to have a practice fight with’’ I said as she wrapped herself around my arm.

Turya-‘’ not funny’’ she said to me with a slightly angry look on her face.

Xar-‘’ haha don’t worry Im only joking, now kelriea this is your brother yes?’’ I asked her to make sure.

Kelriea-‘’ yes he is, my father values him the most out of all his children’’ she said as she hid behind me, I was surprised that she was hiding due to how she was treated.

Xar-‘’ you shit for brains’’ I yelled over at the human still on the ground clutching his face, he looked up and saw me staring at him, he then got up and walked over to me.

Human-‘’what do you want peasant, are you goning to hand over that elven woman for punishment now?, if not then you shall die’’ he said talking down to me.

At this point I began to change into my dragon from but I didn’t go the full way just enough to make me taller and have scales appear all over me, the humans face paled at this sight.

Human-‘’ you are a demon?, demons are scum, demons must die!’’ he said using his free hand to draw a rapier from his waist, he the thrust it toward my heart but I didn’t move, the blade shattered on the scales that covered my chest as soon as it struck, the humans dropped the hilt of his sword as he yelped in pain.

Xar-‘’ I wonder if you will last as short a time as your brother’’ I said to him rather lazily.

Human-‘’ what do you mean by that demon’’ he spat out as he looked at me.

Xar-‘’ I mean what I said I killed your brother for insulting me and those I care about, he only lasted one slash though, rather disappointing if you ask me’’ I said to him trying to rile him up into making a mistake.

Human-‘’ DIE DEMON’’ he roared at me before summoning a large orb of fire into both his hand at throwing them at me, as they came closer I noticed that a large group of kitsune were watching this spectacle including Kuroki, I reached out with both arms and grabbed the orbs of fire and crushed them.

Xar-‘’ hmph is that really it, I heard that you were meant to be a well-trained fighter but this s just embarrassing’’ I said to him as took a step towards him, he then made what seemed to be a small dagger of ice in his hand and charged me with it, he got closer to me and jumped into the air he stabbed towards me but I simply grabbed his hands and lifted him into the air. He struggled to get free but he was unable to break free.

Xar-‘’ now..... how do I kill you ‘’ I said to him as I began to move one of my hand towards his face. "Oh I've got an idea’’. I then reached down and ripped of his ball sack, he roared in pain at this, but I just laughed at him. I cast a quick healing spell to stop him from bleeding to death, I then shoved his ball sack into his mouth and held my hand over his mouth forcing him to swallow them, he whimpered in pain as I did this.

Xar-‘’hmm I don’t think that is punishment enough for someone who rapes people to death and insults my wife.’’ I said to him as I looked at him, his eyes pleaded me to stop, but I didn’t listen as I made a quick knife out of ice and began to skin him alive.
