Kawhi Leonard and the Raptors Return Home in their New Colors - 11/12/18

Kawhi Leonard, The Scorpion Knight, led his men on horseback back to Old 'Ronto after a stint of mostly victorious skirmishes on the battlefield. He could hear the jubilant cheers for their return from the other side of the city walls. He made sure to maintain a serious and steady demeanor for if he was to help the city taste championship glory for the first time, the Raptor Knights would need to learn to not overly cherish insignificant victories during the autumn months as they were known to do.

The main gates began to creak open, prompting the cheers to ramp up massively in an instant. The people lining the streets praised the knights' names and threw them roses as they rode through the entrance. Before long, the group was approached by none other than Sir Drake of 'Ronto with open arms. Leonard made eye contact with the aristocrat but maintained his emotionless gaze. As he drew nearer, Drake flicked his elaborate paper hand fan closed and called out to the returning Raptors as the crowd quieted down for a moment to hear him speak.

"Welcome home dear knights, I have organized a feast in honor of your success. I've also arranged for the city's finest dignitaries and nobles to attend the party as well. I'm calling it 'The First Annual Drake OVO Feast of the Fall'." Only the best for Ronto's glorious warriors."

Kawhi said nothing, ignoring Drake's outstretched hand and rode past him, prompting an immediate outburst.

"Excuse me, Lord Leonard! I understand our home is still new to you, but you will show proper respect to the house's realm ambassador!"

Still silent, Leonard turned around to an advancing Drake who continued with a pointed finger.

"Need I remind you who provided those very robes you are all wearing?", he boasted with a confident smile.

Leonard was known to despise being pointed at and without missing a beat, reached out and took the aristocrat's outstretched index finger with one of his vice-grip hands and pulled it along with Drake toward the crest on his overshirt. With Drake kneeling and howling in pain, Leonard finally spoke out for all to hear.

"This crest does not read 'Sir Drake's Raptors'."
