Echo's POV

Dark, Marchiavelli and i were finishing off our meal when i hear my father calling. thanking them for the meal and giving Dark a quick kiss on the cheek, i head over to where my father is waiting on me. I pause as i see a shaking hooded figure standing by my fathers throne. the look my father gives me when he catches my eyes though is one to warn me that for the time being i need to be kind and accept what hes about to say.

"well son as you may have noticed we have a guest with us. this is Blitz, the now future ruler of the Zardracian kingdom" He waves and the hooded figure drops his hood revealing a pale orange charizard with strikingly yellow eyes "Echo, i want you to make sure that Blit here feels welcome at the palace and make sure no one is to treat wrong. i also ask that you ask Dark to aid in that in well since he calls a certain form of respect."

I nod and walk over to the zard, his eyes meeting mine, causing a smile to spread across his face. He then reaches for the floor and grabs a slate. i take it in and my eyes widen as i come to the right conclusion. "oh hes a mute isnt he father," i ask turning to my dad.

He nods and rubs Blitzs head. "Blitz vocal chords were heavily damaged when he was younger and since then he hasnt beeb able to speak and has to rely on sign language and his slate to speak to others around him."

'but that doesnt stop me from trying to make friends' Blitz writes on his slate and i cant help but smile at just how adorable this zard is, eager to become friends with him, and eager to see how dark takes to him. really eager to get started and take his claw and takes him to where i believe dark should be, both of us smiling.
