Chapter 25

As I stood there looking at the pile of sobbing flesh that was the prince on the ground I couldn’t help but think to myself ‘how the fuck didn’t he die form that’. I then took the single sheet of skin of the ground and tied it into a bundle, I figured it would make the perfect gift for his father and would also show him that I wasn’t to be fucked with when it came to insulting those that I cared about.

Xar-‘’well then, now that, that's dealt with shall we go somewhere Turya I have to talk to you about something’’ I said to her as I saw the face of some of the kitsune around me were rather pale while Kuroki had a look of amusement in her eyes.

Turya-‘’ uhh.. yea sure’’ she said rather sheepishly, I could tell that she had never thought I could be this sadistic.

Xar-‘’ kelriea you go find kaito while I talk with Turya please’’ I asked her as me and Turya began to walk off, she just nodded to me in a daze.

We walked for a good five minutes before finding a rather clear place here there was no one around, I saw a bench beside a small shop that was empty and brought Turya over to it we sat down and took Turya’s hand in mine, when I did this she got a rather confused expression on her face as it seemed she didn’t understand why I did this.

Xar-‘’ darling I need you to stay calm about what I am going to say ok?’’ I said to her trying to keep the worry out of my voice.

Turya-‘’ why what is it?’’ she asked me in return as her voice began to raise slightly.

Xar-‘’ due to my brother a promise was made to this clan that he would send his next of kin or his disciple to marry into it, and it seems that I’m the one who is being put up to the task which means I have to marry another person, trust me if there was another way to do it I would but the clans leader could most likely make mincemeat out of me in seconds’’ I said to her I’m a slightly pleading tone as I knew if she didn’t like this there was a high chance that I would never see her again.

Turya-‘’ is that it?’’ she said rather calmly which surprised me as I had expected her to scream and shout at me.

Xar-‘’ what?... I expected you to be more angry than that’’

Turya-‘’ hehe I knew something like this would happen at some point, after all your dragon instincts will make you want to mate with any fertile female around, so I won’t worry about a few extra women for you to ‘get to know’ as long as you make sure to treat us well’’ she said as she put one of her hands on top of my head and started to ruffle my hair.

I then slightly pulled her chin and kissed her, I then quickly drew back from her as I heard people approaching, Turya looked like she wanted to continue but I still had some blood on me so I wasn’t really in the mood.

Xar-‘’ guess we should go see where kelriea and kaito are’’ I said as I stood and offered my hand to Turya, she took my hand and I helped her get to her feet. For the next few hours me and Turya went looking for kaito and kelriea but we were having a rather hard time looking for them, I blamed it on the fact that we didn’t know how the camp was set up and the fact we didn’t ask for directions.

Turya-‘’ how about we split up, we might be able to find out where they are then and it’s not like we can’t sense were either of us are’’. Turya eventually suggested.

I agreed to her suggestion and we went in different ways, I went to the west while she went east, I kept walking in that direction seeing if I could catch a glimpse of kaito or even Kuroki but unfortunately I couldn’t.

As I was walking I was lost in my thought thinking about what had happened over the last few days, I put my hand into the pocket of my trousers and took out the item that the red-head had placed there, it was a small amulet containing a coat of arms, the coat of arms seemed to be the head of a dragon in front of a kite shield. I had no clue what this meant so I put it back into my pocket.

I kept walking until I came to an open field where I could see groups of ten or twelve kitsune training in formations, they seemed to be drilling how fast they could get into formation and how to react to the formation being broken. I could see that magenta haired kitsune that lead me to Kuroki was in charge of around 30 women.

Magenta hair -‘’ IN FORMATION’’ I heard her yell as they quickly formed three lines of differing heights, the first line had their wired looking spears in a 450 angle as if to spear the rider of a horse, the second row didn’t have a spear but instead had a crossbow that had a rectangular box thing on top of the area where the bowstring would be, there was also a lever seemingly on the rectangular box. The third line held a shorter katana than mine in one hand and in the other they had medium sized square shields.

This formation, from what I could see, was used for dealing with a variety of threats from Calvary to the missiles of enemy bows, I was rather surprised at how quickly they had gotten into it, as it only took them a few seconds.

I couldn’t help but let out a whistle at how uniform there were in their actions as they didn’t get into each other space and the ones with shields held them at a height that would protect both them and the crossbow wielders. A few of them turned their heads and saw me standing there looking towards them, I could hear a few of them click their tongues as if in disgust upon seeing me.

The magenta haired one walked over to me and pointed her spear at me, this surprised me as she didn’t act anything like that when I first talked to her.

Magenta hair-‘’ what do you want young one’’ she snarled at me as she kept her spear at my neck.

Xar-‘’ hehe I was just looking around the camp no need to be so violent’’ I said to her in a half laugh trying to get her to lower the spear, but instead she brought the blunt end of it around and smashed it into the side of my head.

Magenta hair-‘’ insolent man, don’t even think about trying to lie to us’’ she screamed at me as she then tripped me up forcing me to land on my back before pressing the blade of the spear into my throat but not pushing it through the skin.

Xar-‘’ wow you really didn’t act like this when we first met this morning’’ I said to her unable to contain the surprise in my voice.

Magenta hair-‘’ I only spoke that way as you weren’t part of the clan, and now that you are I guess I’m going to have to teach you who your masters are’’ she said as she licked her lips.

At this I let out a laugh and began to slowly change into a half-dragonic form making myself bigger and more muscular as well as covering my body with scales, the magenta haired kitsune simply smile at me as she jumped back.

Magenta hair-‘’ guess you want a fight then’’ she spat out at me before charging at me.

As she came towards me I rolled backward and rose to my feet, she thrust her sear at my chest but I simply twister my body to avoid it but she then angled the blade to the side and slashed it sideways towards me, I couldn’t dodge in time so I left it up to my scales to protect me, but her blade cut through them leaving a small gash on my side, I looked down at the gash and then back at her, as the blood slowly came from my wound only one thought went through my head.

I wanted her!

I could understand where this came from but I knew it had something to do with instincts.

I jumped at her slashing towards her with both of my clawed hands, as they ripped through the air towards her she simply brought the blunt end of the spear up cracking me with a good hit on the underside of my jaw forcing me backwards.

I could feel the blood coming from a wound inside my mouth so I spat it out onto the ground, the magenta haired kitsunegave me a look of surprise.

Magenta hair-‘’ hmm interesting no male has ever remained standing after I did that to them, you dragon have earned a small amount of respect from me, now SUBMIT TO YOUR BETTERS’’ she roared at me as she drew out a small single hand held crossbow from her back and let the bolt fly towards me, I swiped at the bolt with one claw swatting it away but she jumped towards me and delivered a swift knee into my stomach causing me to double over in pain as I hadn’t expected her to be this strong, it felt as if she was nearly as powerful as an elder dragon.

As soon as I felt the power from this hit my body was screaming out for me to take her, I let loose a roar and lifted her above me head as she was still in close proximity to me and threw her at the ground.

Xar-‘’ I will make you mine’’ the words came out of my mouth before I could stop myself, but she just looked at me with a bemused expression as if to say prove it.

Magenta hair-‘’ huh you’re not the first dragon to say that to me, every one of them that did ran away after being on the receiving end of a beating from me’’ she snarled at me as lifted herself off the ground.

I then charged at her as she was on the ground, by this point I could barely control myself but she kicked me in the stomach trying to get me to back off but I couldn’t feel the pain and the grabbed her leg and drove my elbow down into it breaking it causing her to scream out in pain, I then grabbed her by the shoulder and lifted her up to my face, she had a look of defiance on her face but also a slight look of victory for some reason, I then felt something be slid into the wound on my side she had made earlier. I looked down to see a small syringe in the wound with its plunger pushed down fully.

My entire body suddenly lost all strength and I was forced to let go of her, we both fell to the ground but she raised herself up leaning on her spear she looked at me on the ground with a bemused expression on her face.

Magenta hair-‘’ I didn’t expect you to be that tough, for that alone you deserve praise you even forced me to use a sedative on you, it’s a wonder that it worked’’ she said as she then balanced on one leg, but before I could tell say 'that's cheating' she swiftly drove the blunt end of her spear in my stomach, all I knew next was darkness.
