Children of the earth

chapter 2

shax narrowed his eyes at the man kneeling before him.                                                                                    What exactly did this group want? If they showed any serious signs of danger he could kill them with out a second thought but he might as well hear them out ,right?. Shax's mismatch coloured eyes land on the red badge on the mans armour has he took in the full detail of it  , the badge was a red shield with a brightly coloured golden bird spreading it's wings leaning back slightly, feet first ready to claw at whatever it seems to be preying on.                                                                           Shax's face  softened slightly and his antlers stopped glowing the green mist surrounding him disappearing allowing the group of men to get a clearer view of his appearance. 

His shaggy dirty blond hair swaying to his right because of the small whooshes of wind flying by through the trees, his antlers that stick out his head and a fluffy heart looking tail peeking from the top of his scruffy off white coloured trousers gaining the attention of the group first. Then his long pointed elf ears each holding a ear piercing matching his eyes colours. They stare at the small dark coloured Dimond in the centre of Shax's forehead has a sigh  escapes Shax's mouth. 

Shax rolls his eyes before speaking.                                                                                                                               "if you need my help so badly shouldn't the boss of this pathetic ..... ,I'm amusing  kingdom be here?, if you want my help bring whoever's in charge whether that be a King or a Queen and then i'll think about it"  Shax's huffs , his tone is irritated turning his back to the group. Scraggly blond hair bouncing has he walks further in the forest leaving the group speechless for a hot minute.                                                                                                                                                                               "...w-will do" The older man shouted with utter shock at the blonds words has he watched the devil of the forest stride off with out a second  glance.   

Once Shax was out of the groups view he spent the rest of his day messing around and playing with the forest animals, from racing a pack of wild wolfs to sitting in trees chilling with squirrels. Soon after the night was drawing in quickly so he hopped off the tree he had been sitting in and started to make his way back to his little underground home until he heard the pitter-patter of  little foot steps from behind.                                                                                                                                        He realized there was a little someone following him...

 Shax turned around in a blink of an eye spotting a tiny hedgehog trailing him struggling to keep up with his fast walking pace. He felt uneasy the small creature reminding him of someone he once had known but would rather forget after all shouldn't he of gotten over her by now?, she died centuries ago. [this story is gay you just gotta hang on for a minute k?🥲🏳️‍🌈]                                He stared at the little fellow as it made it's way to his dirty feet, without thinking Shax gently picked up the small hedgehog carful not to hurt it or himself.                                                                          "so your a girl?" He mumbled in a soft tone, still holding the small being has he marched on.      "hmm, what to call you?"Shax thought long and hard has he stared at the hedgehog in the eyes, small dark brown eyes staring back up at him.                                                                                                            " hmmm what about.... Millie? no to basic huh?" He spoke as if he was expecting a reply, although it was possible after all he can talk the tongue of animals well to the ones that live with in his nation at least. Shax then went silent and turned his head to the side, his eyes landing on a red tulip that looked as if it was glowing in the moonlight. Shax's different coloured eyes widen and shine as a smile shows on his face." i'll call you tulip then." He said with slight excitement before he pats the hedgehog on the head and places her in his back pocket of his trousers, Tulip's head sticking out.

Soon after the great oak tree his home was under came into view, Shax smirked relieved he didn't wonder in the wrong direction like he had done multiple times before, Shax walked up to the great oak but instead of jumping of the small cliff in front to get to his stiff and heavy old door he just stood.... watching the moon, wind in his face making his already messy hair look like an even bigger mess if that was possible, the fur on his short but slightly fluffy deer like tail ruffling with the wind . A frown crept on his face and his eyes narrowed but besides that he took tulip the hedgehog from his pocket has he popped himself down placing her on his lap, using one of the bigger tree roots that act has a step for a seat, dirtying his already scuffed up trousers. Shax just sat there for a while moonlight shining onto his face and slightly reflecting off his antlers as well as his deep green and ambery brown eyes...

prince Vorath pov.

Vorath stood Infront of his throne , he was a man in his late twenties with short navy blue hair that had a surprisingly thin decently long plat/braid at the back and slight bangs at the front. He was wearing a fancy pair of black dress trousers that were clearly tailored for him has well as the rest of the tight but nicely fitting suit that had the red badge with the bird embroidered to the rich cloth, he also had a dark/deep red cloak/cape with a hood around his neck and resting on his shoulders .His back facing the older man with greying hair who was leading the small group in the forest. 

"so im guessing by the fact your back so early means you got an answer from the devil then?" Vorath said in a unamused tone has he looked over his shoulder narrowing his eyes at the greying man. Silence then filled the room has sweat dripped from the guards chin avoiding eye contact with his higher up. "what did he say then?, spit it out" Vorath spoke in the same unamused tone but he finally turned to face the man who knelt before him, wind catching his cloak slightly has he did so.                                                                                                                                                ".....h-he said he would think about it but only if the person in charge spoke to him about it themselves..." The older man spoke staring aimlessly at the floor as his shoulders tensed at the thought of his kings cold glaze upon him. A loud irritated sigh could then be heard.

"fine then , get my horse, things and a small group of soldiers ready, we leave at day break" A irritated and annoyed tone spoke, the maids and workers in the room bowing before leaving to fulfil the task.
