The Two Sisters: Dire-fury Edition

Ch.22: The Great Kings

After supper, Dark remained by Raven's side for the rest of the day as she felt safest with her sister. The two remained in the living room as Ectoplasm and Moonclaw moved all of Dark's belongings to Raven's room, for they did not want their little pup to be vulnerable for possible creeps to sneak in. And not to mention that since Raven is an Elite Warrior, she could easily protect Dark from those males thanks to her now heightened senses and ability to react quickly.

Now it had set to night time, and of course the time to sleep. Night had offered to stay and help protect Dark, in which Torga allowed and wrote a letter to his parents, telling them where their son was and the reason for his stay. Argon and Tarjo stayed in the living room, for they were too big to fit in any of the other rooms. However this allowed them to easily stand as guards in case any male tried to sneak in from the front or back door. Torga stayed with them to aid in keeping watch, for even with the barrier anything could happen.

The night was thankfully calm, and Dark slept soundly snuggled up against her sister's soft plush fur. Raven kept watch for a few hours to make sure everything was truly clear, which it was. Once she made sure it was clear, she lowered her head down on her paws and slept.

Next day...

Dark yawned as she laid in a relaxed position on the couch, being glad to not be surrounded by selfish strangers. The rest of her family was glad to know that Dark was relaxed at the moment, and thanked the witch who nodded. "It is my pleasure as well as my duty to ensure that her majesty is safe and well as her Royal Magi." Dark turned to her, her ears perked up. "I have a royal magic person?" she asked, and Torga chuckled a bit. "Yes indeed, young one. I have been chosen by a great mysterious power from the cosmos, and have been chosen even before you were even thought about. As your royal witch, I shall help you til the end of the Great Kingdoms."

Ryko then walked in, giving his big sister a hug before turning to Torga and giving a respectful bow. "Hello, miss Torga!" "Hello, young one." they greeted at eachother, all while Cottonfur wandered over to the window. Her ears perked back and her fur spiked a bit then she turned to the adults. "Uhm... there are Direwolves on dragons outside..." she shyly stated, trotting over to Ryko who whispered a "woah" as he looked outside. The rest of the group then looked outside, and sure enough the youngest's statement was correct.

Standing outside of the force field were the five Direwolf kings on the backs of their dragons from their respective kingdoms. The Sun King's dragon stepped forward, his chin held up high. "Step outside and show us the princess." he asked, which almost seemed like an order than a suggestion.

Dark whined and curled in further, in which Ryko licked her head to try and comfort her. Cottonfur tilted her head. "Why don't you wanna go outside, sis? You're safe inside the force field!" Cottonfur stated, but then Raven shook her head as she stood. "It's not the males getting close that scares her." Raven said, standing up and facing the door. "Even if she is safe inside, it's the many eyes and possible words from them that frightens her." she then turned to Torga, a soft yet serious look on her face. "I'll go out there, ma'am." she suggested, and Bonnie shook his head at her. "They will not listen and insist we show Dark, as to them you're just a guard who can be ordered around." he stated, in which Torga shook her head. "But they won't if they know that it was I who sent her to give the message." she then nodded at Raven, smiling at her. "Go on and tell them, dear. I'll help your family care for her."

Raven nodded then stepped outside, her heart beating hard and her head becoming light as she approached the edge of the force field. Even though she was now an Elite Warrior, she felt extremely nervous. Raven had never met nor spoken to an official royal before, as she usually wouldn't attend royal meetings until after 3 years on the job. Her little sister is a princess, but Raven didn't see her as anyone who was to be treated as such but rather as her family. She took a deep breath and paused, now in front of the Great Kings.

The Sun king raised a brow as he looked down at Raven, thinking this was some kind of joke. The Hell Fury bowed her head to them, then stood in her soldier stance as she stared at the kings. "The princess is currently uncomfortable by the large crowd of males, and as a result we shall keep you from seeing her until the crowd has been dispersed." she stated with her voice strong, but the kings didn't seem convinced. The Fire king scoffed, eyeing Raven up and down. "And who are you to tell us what to do, little girl?" he stated, his stare saying "go back home and fetch someone of real authority".

Raven suppressed a growl and kept her stance, reminding herself to not act unprofessionally at the kings. "I am the Elite Warrior Raven Nightfang, and I have delivered the message under the orders of her majesty's Royal Magi." as she said that, the kings now seemed disappointed but agreed to her words and walked off one by one. It seemed as if they only listened when Torga's authority was mentioned, which disappointed Raven a bit. She looked back to the Forest king, who looked down at her with a kind smile. "Is the princess alright? I wouldn't want her to be unhealthy for our meeting.."

Raven arched a brow at the king's words and relaxed a bit, seeing that he was the smarter one. She then nodded, shifting her paws. "The princess is alright, but it's the overwhelming numbers of greedy males that frighten her." the Forest king sighed as he glanced around, seeing the males trying to fight their way inside the force field. He then turned to Raven and gave her a nod. "Don't worry, young warrior. I got this." he said, then whipped around to face the crowd with a snarl.

"Clear this area!!" he spoke in a mighty tone, making the males all stop to listen to the king. "By surrounding her home, you are making her majesty uncomfortable!! You may try to get to her, but she will never accept you!!" the king continued, scanning each male in the crowd. "The princess will never be your mate, especially if you creep her out and disrespect her boundaries! If you ever want a chance with a royal one, then you must treat her as such!!" then a great number of guards began to push the males away, even slashing at those who tried to oppose the guards. "By the end of this hour you are all to have cleared this area, and if you fail to comply then my guards will have your head!! That is an order!!" he then finished, giving Raven another nod before walking off on his dragon.

Raven then walked back inside, and immediately let out a huge breath she was holding. Torga chuckled and rubbed her ear. "The first time speaking directly to a king can be frightening, young one. But eventually you'll forget about being nervous when speaking to them." she explained which reassured Raven a bit, but still mentioned that she felt like she was gonna pass out. Then she was asked by Moonclaw on a good time to have Dark meet the kings. Raven shrugged then turned to Torga, who thought for a minute. "I would say around midday is a good time, for by that time the crowd should be dispersed by the Forest king's guards."

Moonclaw nodded, then turned to Dark. "Alright, let's let her enjoy this moment beforehand, and then she can get ready." she suggested, and Torga agreed. It was necessary for Dark to relax before meeting other royals, for it would ease her nerves before doing so.
