Chapter 15: The Bloodshed

"I talked about it with your father and yes, now I realize it was right. Here is the jar." She handed me a jar with eight glowing orbs. "These are your other eight lives you will use for the war. You too Gray." She went up to Highlights and Tiger. "Though you may not be royalty, I will give your your nine lives." She gave eight other lives to Highlights and Tiger. "When you are ready, open the jar and you will be given nine lives." She left the bedroom and closed the door.

"So, now we're in the bunk, I'll give you time to claim your beds," I said.

"Top bunk is mine!" Gray cried as she jumped on.

"Use the ladder."

"Sorry."

Tiger claimed under her.

I looked at Highlights and back to the second bunkebed. "I claim top."

"If you claim top I'm taking your supplies of cookies," Highlights replied, winking at me.

"How the heck do you know my weakness?" I sighed. "Fine. Claim it. Atleast I have a bed to sleep on." I went into the bathroom to change. I came out with my workout clothes and bandages wrapping my paws. "I'm gonna go to the gym and train before the war. Gray you comin'?"

Gray looked at me and smiled. "I'm a healer, not a fighter. Besides, training I have done is way different than your training."

I sighed. "Okay then I'm going."

Highlights came to me and said, "I'll come."

I turned around. "Fine but don't steal my cookies!"

He changed into his clothing and we left. One of the maids there said that we were going to fight each other. "Peace of cloud cake," I replied.

We fought for what felt like hours until I kicked Highlights to the ground. I kneeled and flicked his ear. "Feeling like a winner now?"

Highlights curled up into a ball. "How can a girl be this strong?"

"Dude, I've been training since I was atleast three and so is Indigo. He's only like five so I think it's just a tradition of loving to fight."

"Same way you have corrupted magic."

"Or very powerful magic."

A sudden rumble came from above and knocked us off our feet. I fell on top of Highlights and closed my eyes. I opened them and saw Highlights sitting up. "Fool, I can get up b-." Another rumble came and I fell down. "Please help me."

Highlights stood up and took out a hand. I took it though we both fell down.

"Some couple of Aves are love," Gray said as she opened the door to the gym.

"We can't get up! There's fighting up there!"

"Well get up so we can start!"

Highlights stroked my ears. "You have been using conditioner."

We got up and took the jars of the eight more lives and opened them, freeing the spirits into our hearts. We quickly got out of the bunker and saw the humans fighting with the Animalians.

"Charge!" I yeowled. Animalians started battling the Humans while the Humans were falling to their feet. I joined in the fight with Highlights and Tiger while Grey and a couple of Healing Mages came to take in the injured Animalians. I ended up being circled by the Humans with Silk behind me. We turned into clones of a human and looked at them. We teleported where the Human circle was and as the Humans started to leave, we attacked. Usually, Animalians  hate to fight since we had a bad history of them but, we finally won the war. We won the fight. The Humans surrendered and the General bent down. "Kill us," He replied.

I went up to him and held out  my hand. "We don't kill in Animalia. We threaten. That's enough to get our kingdoms going again." I grabbed his hand and pulled him up. "So, because we won the war, all we want for you is to make peace with us. It's so awkward to fight with someone we were once before."

And that my little nuggets is the end of our story. We all became the rulers to our kingdom and eh... Stuff happened. You must be tired. Go home and tell your parents what happened. I'm sure they'll love a new bedtime story.
