The Wolves and the Foxes

Chapter 7: Decision

MoonzShadow_Red-tailed Hawk: This is bad. The one responsible is not dead. And while the king believed that they were going out to look for Vladimir, he still holds his undying hate for me. I know that he shall wish to have me be executed, even if that villain was slain. Hn... Things just can't seem to get easy. *sigh* Well, as I have stated many times before, my death matters not. Perhaps it is for the better. I know nothing of this life that I never knew existed. My memories were taken from me, I don't even have a clue as to what was real and what was fake. For all I know you two could be lying *points wing at Abraxas and IcedSapphire* I mean think about it. Me? Royalty? Must be some kind of joke. And if I was your "sister" then why does "father", want me dead?

Abraxas_Albino Peacock: While you may think that, how do you know were NOT lying and this is all actually the truth? Don't rule everything out as a lie just yet dearest sister.

IcedSapphire_SnowyOwl: MoonzShadow despite what you may think you ARE royalty and your ARE our sister. (sigh) Look it was a very long time ago and I don't expect you to remember because you were taken away from us so soon after you recovered. (starts to pace and begins to talk nervously) To answer your question about father wanting to have you killed is because...well...he doesn't know that you are his daughter. The last time he saw you, you were still a egg. He had to go off and fight in the civil war that was happening in the south and was gone for almost a year. By the time he came back Abraxas had fled and you were taken. He went into a dark state. Soon after mother died, so he had nothing to live for. He has never been the same.

MoonzShadow_Red-tailed Hawk: I guess you're right, I shouldn't doubt your word. However you can't blame me, after all I had not known you both were my siblings before. It... it just seems like my whole life has been ripped from me. So our Father doesn't even know? But then why does he still attack me so openly, how come he just decides to have me executed like that? Does he do this with other birds or am I just really "lucky"?

IcedSapphire_SnowyOwl: No, you aren't lucky he is like this with everyone. I've been trying to change his mind but he won't listen. But now that you both are back he might come around.

MoonzShadow_Red-tailed Hawk: Hn... I see. Then perhaps it really is time for Abraxas to take over the kingdom, after all the king is getting quite old. I... I am sorry that I couldn't remember that you two are my siblings. And... Please forgive me for any outbursts of mine. I tend to get angry when I am assaulted by too many emotions.

Abraxas_Albino Peacock: Do...Do you guys really believe that I'm ready for this...and Moonz its ok for the outbursts....we understand it can be confusing at times. But...finally becoming King...do you two actually believe I'm ready for this? All of this responsibility?

IcedSapphire_SnowyOwl: (Looks deeply into Abraxas's eyes and completely serious) Abraxas you have been ready to take the throne since you were hatched. I remember each day before you left and all that time you just watched father, copying him, and studied all royal duties all through the night. You can do this Moonz and I believe you can. By the way Moonz it's ok, you didn't remember, it was so long ago.

MoonzShadow_Red-tailed Hawk: Abraxas even though I don't know you too well at the moment I can full heartedly say that I believe that you can be king. And not just any king, a very noble and great ruler for this kingdom. I will one day recover my memories, and when that day comes it will be wonderful. But for now I am content with trusting you both with the what I know so far.

Abraxas_Albino Peacock: MoonzShadow...IcedSapphire...you both flatter me to the greatest extent...I have no words...

Akira_Raven: (Bursts through door) Hey, guys! Guys, I need help. Oh, Abraxas, how good are you at healing? It-it's Carno. I think he's poisoned.
