Aden's POV.

my first and only thought was terror. seeing so many different... beings was terrifying. they all looked at me in a weird fascinating, I started backing away as I saw how close they were, and since Kolt wasn't here to help, I shrunk against a tree and sat down shaking uncontrollably as their gazes never fazed from my face. I closed my eyes and took deep breaths as slowly as i could to get myself under control, or at least I tried to.

Kolt came from behind the tree a few minutes later and as he saw me and... them he quickly gained control of them and send them away, but a few lingered mostly children curious to see who I was, he slowly approached me and I breathed a sigh of relief, but I knew that I was going to have to get over it if I or they expect me to be a king over everyone in Evergreen.

"are you okay?" Kolt asked me and I nodded my head and stood up on shaky legs.

"yeah, nothing I can't handle." I joked but i was still scared.

he chuckled lightly and put his arms #around my shoulders as I trembled in sudden shock. I let his arm stay there.

"sooooo...?" he drawled. I laughed lightly at his failed attempt to have a Southern accent.

"Soo...?" I replied.

"I kinda need to take you to our elders." he said and I froze mid step but with some self convincing to suck it up and to have a life, I continued to walk again,

"when?" I gulped.

"uh... in a few minutes."

"oh..."

"yeah, its not like you can't handle them, or yourself for that matter. its just that they want to meet you in person." Kolt said.

'and to rip me to peaces so that they still have power over this domain. ' I thought bitterly.

Kolt looked at me as he read the thought, in slight shock.

"Oh, come on, don't tell me you don't have the same thoughts as to why they want to meet me." I huffed.

"You catch on rather quickly!!" He said with a dry laugh.

"Eh, I read a lot of books, to know the real reason behind almost anything." I replied.

"Anything?" He asked and I nodded.

As we continued to walk I saw that even thought there were people outside staring at me, I felt afraid, but not the same petrifying fear I usually get when I see people. But then again, they weren't people, not real humans, so to speak.

I wonder....

Was my fear because I was near people or more particularly, humans??

Because as I look at these people I'm still scared, but a sense of ease filled me as I looked at them and at Evergreen, and just like that I knew that I was kinda, sorta, well... Maybe, ready to deal with all this and to become a King...

"Well, let's go then, seeing as I can't stall any longer." I told him.

He nodded and then came to a stop in front of a museum. Well the door had antique carvings on it, with golden knockers, ten feet high doors and marble coloumbs as I looked at the place. Suddenly there were two huge, and when I say huge a mean, massive, giant, overgrown, over size, and completely impossible looking jaguars. They were unbelievably large as I gazed upon them.

I probably looked shit scared and I felt like it too. But as they neared and bowed before me, I felt the same sense of ease come to me and I half bowed back to them. Kolt on the other hand stood rather stiff and spoke to them in an emotion less tone, "we are here to speak to the elders."
