Splatoon: Chronicles

Chapter 6: The Battle Begins

???: Thunder Clan! Rise!

The Clan members of Thunder all stood together in a giant throne room, summoning their weapons and standing firm within the king's presence.

King: As a clan, we stand prideful and triumph through the strongest of trials! We strike like a storm, bringing down lightning, and never hesitate to destroy anything in our path!

Just then, the doors to the throne room opened up, and a hybrid girl, along with a hybrid boy, walked down the lane of the throne room. The girl was wearing a nice dress and couldn't help but feel slightly embarrassed from everyone around her. The girl's name was Charlotte, the Princess and daughter to the king. She had long yellow tentacles that faded into white while having orange eyes.

Her face seemed red from her nervousness, but when she turned her head, she saw the hybrid boy next to her, which soothed her as he walked with her. The boy's name was Knight. He had long green tentacles that faded into white as well, and had cyan colored eyes. Knight and Charlotte walked up to the throne, and Charlotte stood next to her father while Knight kneeled down in front of him.

King: Charlotte....If you may...

Charlotte nodded and walked over to the throne itself, grabbing a box from off of the seat and walking over to Knight, shaking just a little, and when she looked back at her father, she saw him give her a gentle nod, which made her nod back while letting out a tiny sigh.

Charlotte: K-Knight!.....In honor of your dedication to this clan.....m-me and my father have bestowed to you an advancement and sign of our gratitude.

Charlotte opened the box and pulled out two golden rings, placing down the box and moving closer to him.

Charlotte: y-you are now a noble warrior.....these rings were made from my mother....they represent honor, courage, and commitment.....and as a blessing....you have the right to wear one to.....*blush*.....sync your soul to mine....

Knight: I am grateful.....

Knight stood up and Charlotte grabbed his hand and slid the ring into his finger, then Knight grabbed Charlotte's ring and slid it onto her finger next.

King: Knight, you have impressed me with your strength and breaking through your limitations, and as an extra show of respect from me, I am giving you my daughter's hand in marriage as well.

Knight's eyes widened slightly, and he looked over at Charlotte to see her face as red as a tomato, but saw her nod a little to confirm her father's statement.

Knight:......My King....are you positive on this claim?

King: I am. I will step down from my throne once you are married, and you will become the next King of Thunder.

Knight:.......I see....I will make sure to live up to your expectations.

Everyone clapped for Knight just as the king walked over to him and gave him a pat on the shoulder.

King: you are a prodigy.....I already know you'll live up to my expectations....Thunder Clan!! You're dismissed!!

Everyone within the throne room began to leave, and Knight nodded to the king in respect before turning around and walking away, then Charlotte began to walk with him, gently grabbing onto his sleeve from his warrior uniform. The two left the throne room and Knight looked over at Charlotte to see her scared and thinking deeply to herself.

Knight: is something on your mind?

Charlotte:.........I-I......I don't know...if I can......lead this clan.....I don't think I'm ready......this is happening so fast......
