Battle Born Vagabond

Chapter 31: Queen Arianna Malone: April 09, 5007

My solarus Amari  falls to his knees and begins to cry holding the newly acquired arm. I read his mind to understand that memories of his dad are flooding his mind there is so much pain and confusion. I hold his shoulder and he knows I'm there but he doesn't want to look up. Blood leaking down from the newly acquired appendage. I tell him, "you have been great so far, now you need support, I'm taking control."

He lets out a dry weak defeated, "okay, dear".

I turn to our army of our men and women, "at ease!" I turn around and I can feel the uniformed clap of their feet hitting the ground. I begin to walk up and a few men including Aaron try to follow me. I turn around angry, "you wanted me to find my talk. I am now. Stay here."

Aaron says, "as king I won't follow your orders but you want to talk I will let you." Then he turns to face the other soldiers following us, "why are you choosing to disobey orders?" They immediately run back. He turns to Dane, "Parsley."

The man in front of their formation responds, "I will meet you in the middle." The man meets us in the middle after a short but tense walk, "why have you decided to display power with an invasion? Who are you even?"

Decisively I tell him, "Kenessy, we have merged Kentucky and Tennessee nations because you destroyed our nations."

He underestimates me and says sarcastically, "Oh I'm sorry to have never heard of your great nation. I didn't ask for a fucking history lesson."

I send my 'make believe friends' to surround his 11 man formation. "I am here for the men who controlled our fathers."

He turns around, "men, if you have fortitude let them know who you are, or don't. This is an issue where you risk your lives." None of the men move or acknowledge that their king spoke. He turns back to me, "I'm sorry young lady they aren't admitting who did this. Nothing I can do about it."

Smugly i inform him, "I read minds Mr. Dane Glysac."

He seems impressed and introduces himself, "Mr. is so formal. Call me Dane."

I start giving demands, "I'm also going to formally request the release of my mom and his dad. Sir." I pause as I feel anger brewing, "I saw my dad is now dead. My mom is alive and so is his dad, do not lie to me."

Aaron kinda snaps and grabs a diamond knife from his boot and leaps behind Dane putting the knife against throat climbing up Dane's back. "You think I'm pissed now? You won't like what power I have! Release my father, now!"

Dane chuckles, "you might be a king but you don't have the power you think you do. Go ahead slice me. See what happens. My men protect me automatically when they detect a threat, no one is stopping you, you are just a little boy. They protected me from your father without my order, you are just a pathetic spawn. Scrawny, you're not even a threat with that knife."

Aaron responds in a panic, "I can't move. Can't breathe."

I know this before he even says it, I had one of my demons to subdue him I speak to her, "thank you Nirvana." She screeches back at me and I see her hand completely wrapped around him, "Aaron, you just told me you would let me talk. You won't follow my orders, so now you will bow to my commands. Dane two steps back and left please."

Dane chuckles, "okay little girl, I'll play your game." He takes two steps back and to the left. Aaron is in pain choking mid air being held up.

Nirvana flips him back doing a one handed backfill. Which would have kicked Dane and lands all weight on Aaron. Aarron complains, "what the hell is this? I don't understand!"

Slyly I respond to Aaron and Dane, "Don't make me mad. I be scary. Rawr." I make a claws hand gesture to show I'm scary.

Dane smiles, "I don't understand your powers but I'm impressed, would you like to join us?"
