Your Heart is My Kingdom

Capture, Death, and the Heir Naming Feast

Fritz ran like a wildfire was chasing him. Katty leaped out of the tree and slashed her claws down the Mightyena's eyes. The Mightyena hollered in pain, and Katty gasped when she felt teeth sink into her scruff.

"You're going back to be killed, Katty!" the voice behind her snarled.

"GET OFF OF HER!" Soren slammed his stocky body against the Zoroark's face. The Zoroark yowled and ran off.

Katty and Soren took on the Mightyena while Fritz and the female Liepard took each other on head to head.

"Who even are you guys?!" Katty hissed.

"Hyena! And Reynard and Spider!" the Mightyena barked. "We came back to get you killed!"

"But you were my friends!" Katty yowled. "How could you?!"

"We're following orders!" Spider hissed. "Nothing personal."

At the exact moment Spider finished her sentence, Fritz got on his hind legs and slashed Spider's throat open. Blood gushed out of her neck like a waterfall.

"NO!" Katty cried. "SPIDER!"

Hyena stopped fighting the two and looked at his friend with frozen shock.

"YOU KILLED MY FRIEND AND FELLOW FIGHTER!" Hyena bellowed at Fritz. "DIE!"

Hyena lunged at Fritz and drove dagger-like claws down his shoulders. Fritz let out a yowl of pain and sunk his teeth into Hyena's muzzle.

"Oh, my." Soren was stuck to the spot while Katty looked shocked and devastated.

After two hours, Fritz chased Hyena away and looked down at Spider's corpse.

"She deserved to die." Fritz growled. "They all do."

"You ALWAYS THINK LIKE THAT, DON'T YOU?!" Katty cried. "YOU NEVER UNDERSTAND, THEY HAVE FAMILIES BACK AT THEIR KINGDOM! LOVED ONES!"

"I've never loved anyone. That's why I don't know." Fritz snarled. "Now if you excuse me, I have burying to do."

Fritz grabbed Spider's tail and dragged her with little care if dirt got all over the corpse.

Katty fell and whimpered. Soren felt his heart as he wrapped his wing around her shoulders.

"Don't worry, Li-er, Katty" Soren whispered. "You'll be OK."

"We were best friends, and for her to die like this-" Katty broke into another whimper. Soren pulled her in closer.

She's so beautiful, even when she is crying. Lily...

The memories were sweet to Soren, the days when Lily was still alive...

She was a sleek beautiful Emolga, she flew with such freedom.

Soren was only a youngster and Fritz was still a Meowth when they came across the girl that stole Soren's heart. However, she was bruised and beaten, She explained to Soren and Fritz that she was a servant to the queen of the Shock Kingdom(Before they united with the Blaze Kingdom) and was known as Servant Lily.

The former queen had her attacked by a group of Pikachu that stole her innocence and beat her up before leaving her near the swamp to drown and die. Soren found her sinking in one of the swamp's mud holes.

"Fritz, LOOK!" Soren shouted. Fritz trotted through the reeds and looked shocked to see the injured Emolga.

"She looks hurt really bad!" Fritz meowed. "We should take her to our tree, quickly!"
