The five of you followed Richard and Jesus into the theater. Upon entry, you see an African American man sitting on his throne on the stage. Beside him, is a tiger.
Louis: Is that a fucking Tiger?!
Jesus: Yes. Don't think too much of it, though.
You all stepped closer to the stage, where the tiger let out a roar.
Wyatt: Jesus....
Jesus: Hm?
Wyatt: Not you.
King Ezekiel opened his arms, a staff in his left hand.
Ezekiel: Jesus! How was the trip here, old friend?
Jesus: It went well.
Ezekiel: What news do you bring King Ezekiel? Are these new trade partners?
Jesus extends his arm towards you.
Jesus: This is Y/N L/N. The Chancellor of the Oasis, a settlement at Joint Base Andrews eleven miles southeast of here.
Ezekiel: Greetings travelers. Why do you seek an audience with the King?
You look at Jesus. He was the one that wanted to propose the fight against the Saviors.
Jesus: The Oasis is another community under the threat of the Saviors. I was thinking if the Kingdom can join the Hilltop and the Oasis—
Ezekiel: Our deal with the Saviors isn't known amongst my people. What made you think revealing it to an outside group would be a good idea?
Jesus: Individually, we don't have the numbers. But together, we can fight our oppressors.
Ezekiel: You've come to me already with this plan. I've already told you—
Jesus: But if you just listen—
A large man, Ezekiel's closest guard, scolds Jesus.
???: Don't interrupt the King.
Ezekiel: Thank you, Jerry.
Jesus stays silent.
Ezekiel: We've lost many people. People I sent out to fight battles I didn't have any business being involved in. I've built this place for families to thrive, I don't need them worrying about losing their home.
You nod. You know exactly how he feels and agree with his statement.
Ezekiel turns to you.
Ezekiel: I am sorry, Chancellor Y/N L/N of the Oasis. But I cannot help you in your predicament.
You: I understand, King Ezekiel. I have people I need to protect too. I have a whole community that I can't put in danger again.
Lee shakes his head.
Ezekiel: You are quite young. For a settlement to look up to you must signify that they believe in you. They trust you.
You: Yes. They do.
Ezekiel nods.
Ezekiel: It was nice meeting you all. I wish you safe travels back home.
