The beast kingdom wasn't too far, so we were able to make it there quickly.
"Ah brother in Ausar, what are you doing with these repulsive beasts."
Darsen was confused.
"I don't see any repulsive beasts, unless you mean Jacob."
"HEY!!!"
"The Humans. They are servants of Silith."
...
"We don't serve Silith."
"LORD AUSAR WILL JUDGE YOU!!!"
A birdkin sleeping on a bench snapped awake.
"HUH what where am I? Oh, hi Celios."
He went back to sleep. Then his eyes snapped open.
"WAIT CELIOS?!"
Celios snickered.
"I don't really think he's fit to judge. Useless hobo."
Ausar blushed.
"Shut it!!!"
"That's definitely the less impressive of the two."
Ausar gaped at Darsen, who just said that his eternal rival was more impressive. Then Ausar started crying.
"Even my own people are against me."
"That's not true!"
"We love you Lord Ausar."
Ausar stood up and basked in the worship.
Thalia looked irritated.
"Can I punch him?"
Celios nodded.
"Go right ahead."
Thalia punched him in the gut, causing him to keel over. All while carrying me.
The people gasped, and Ausar complained.
"No fair."
Celios sighed.
"How are you even a candidate for the throne? You're too immature."
"I don't want to hear that from you."
He stuck out his tongue and Celios ignored him.
"Excuse me citizen, which way is the Palace?"
The wolfkin pointed.
"Thank you."
Celios grabbed ahold of Ausar's collar and started dragging him to the Palace.
Then a catkin spoke.
"If I had a copper for every time Lord Ausar got folded by a dragon, I'd have two coppers, which isn't much, but it's odd that it happened twice."
We followed Celios.

"So, Kala isn't a good person?"
"Nope, she even lied about her aspect. She's the god of lies, not good."
"Hmm. I knew it."
"No, you didn't."
"No, I didn't."
It was very disappointing. I kind of assumed that the being that could give someone like Silith that much trouble would be more impressive, unfortunately, we had this guy.
"How does he even give Silith trouble?"
Celios answered.
"Because in terms of raw power, he is the strongest, he's just vain to a fault."
