Stasis

.4.

This is one specie cole haven't seen since arriving on this planet . Seeing as the  royals doesnt venture outside the palace unless for diplomatic reasons .

What's even more surprising is , the tanzian could pass as humans if it weren't for the four arms, their sizes and how beautiful they all looked especially the King. If he wasn't drooling he'd be lying.

"You, boy!"

Cole muscles tense, glancing downwards, aware of the nerves washing through his pours at the sword pointed directed at him by a member of the kings guard.

He then notice the once lively street was was mute and the mass was taking a knee, Eyes were on him , he could practically feel them judging him as he follow suit.

His skin was flushed from the unwanted attention he was receiving, prompting his limbs to tremble an action that didn't go unnoticed.

"Yyes sir" he quickly stutterd out, his chin practically touching his chest. Cole wanted to be anywhere else but  here at this moment.

"Look at me when being spoken to boy" cole chin abruptly tilt upwards at the guard request, yet he stared pass him instead at the male interrogating him."What's this commotion about, have you no respect for your king?"

At the mentioned of king Ryin, cole could still sense his gaze on him, but before cole could answered he was beat to the punches.

"Well..sir krowley.." cole gaze shifted to his left at the male he'd totally forgotten about, the vendor. 'Oh shit'

"Go on" krowley probe for him to continue, a vile smirk on his lips as if he knew where the vendor was going with his story, and knowing it involved him.

"S-sir.." the mantar starts again,"sorry for the disrespect, I meant no harm. I was merely taking what's mined.."

"Which was what?" Krowley asked unamused, at the same time cole scoffed loudly, rolling his eyes. Leaving the guards to regard him bitterly.

Cole hands flew to his mouth, eyes wide with regret the moment krowley half drawn his sword. He could also hear the gasps of the horde behind him. Worst day ever.

Suddenly a arm reach out and gentle touch the guard on his shoulder who was about to cut the boy down where he kneeled. King Ryin removed his hands and immediately cole met his eyes head on. Had he just saved my life for the second time.

Cole couldn't figure out the king reason for keeping him alive not that he's complaining. From all the stories he heard he thought the king was a 'kill now talk later' type of guy. He was yet to speak, he merely watches intelligently.

The sound of the guard shuffling on his feet shifted cole's attention from the King. Krowley had put away is weapon, his ego deflated as he puffed his robust chest. "Speak mantar !" He order, his range reaching all in the vinicity with the intention of silencing them.

"He's a thief" he spat , literally on the dirt beside cole's feet , pointing a accusing finger at him, causing cole to flinch as the herd throw pining gaze at him .

He even sense the energy shift amongst the tanzian warriors, as the crowd riled up against him. "Its true sir.." A female shouts "..He's a plague on the city"

Every name calling had cut cole deep in the gut, all he ever wanted was to be accepted , he might be a little different but all he'd ever wanted was to fit in. His eyes well up with unshed tears he refused to let loose.

"ENOUGH" krowley hushed the herd of vultures once again. This time he wasn't angry about the king stopping him from taking my head, He's now smirking.

Cole nails were making bloody half moons in his palms as he tried  masking the tears  streaking  down his face as he awaits krowley next command.

The human couldn't understand why they hated him , was it the way he looked. He glance down at his dirty skinny body. Who could love  him, even his own parents didn't wanted him, or else he  wouldn't be alone with these creatures.

The punishment for stealing in riveria is lose a limb or worse, death. None sat well with him. Cole was brought out of his thoughts when a humming sound emit from krowley chest , he seem to be deep in thoughts.

His head tilted to the side. And as if sensing a gaze on him , his green orbs shift to the boy's, causing cole to quickly look away.

Krowley smirk spread into something sinister, as he ask the vendor "What is your price ?" Gossips of his psychotic murderous killing spree on other planets spread like a infectious disease , casting fear into cole as he wished the ground would open up and accept him but just like the others even the pit of hell rejected him.

The vendor didn't need to think twice , the rule stated, he had first choice of punishment. "A piece of the boy" He eyed the human under his lid.

"I'm not food" cole grumbles under his breath, causing  the warrior eyebrow to jump into his hairline, understanding what cole obviously didn't.

"Mate? You want to mate the young human?" Krowley was taken back by the mantar request, eyeing cole up and down as he's sizing him up.

"Yes, sire" the vendor nods his head still casting downwards.

"Under my dead puss infested body" cole voices aloud ,fuming at the teeth, his fear long gone, replace it was anger.He meant fucking and the boy would rather die.

"So be it, death shall be yours, by sun down today " The words spoken wasn't from krowley lips but from the king himself.

Casting his appalled eyes up at the King's, who was awaiting his. cole was shocked not to mention the crowd . The difference was they were stunned over the fact that the king spoke.

Cole might have find his gravelly voice captivating if it wasnt for the death sentence king Ryin delivered.

The king pinned him with his grey pupils , expression blank and void of emotion and cole mouth mimics a fish out of water. His pleas were  stuck in his throat, along with his breath the longer he held king Ryin gaze.

It felt like forever but in those seconds cole couldn't think, breath or understand the reasons for king Ryin's intense stares and the effect it had on him.

Once he found air back into his lungs again , the king was half way to the palace and he was a prisoner of the royal guards being escorted to the palace.

The verdict was in and he was sentence to death. I  got what I asked for .

............

What is so wrong with mating anyways , that he'd rather choose death instead. The best option was to drop his tunic , bend over and offer his rear . Mating wasnt forfidden , its an act  practised openly and freely here .
