"COME IN. COME IN."
"Grrrr!!!!! Rofff!!! Roff!!
"Errruraaaaaaghhhhhhh. Muraaaaaghhhuew"
"ROARRRRRRRR!!!!!"
"Scoufff…..scouufff"
"Errrr…Errroaaaarrr"
*Snap…..snap*
"It's okay, Austin. Just stay in the middle of the path and my pets on each side of you will not harm you."
"PETS?
Kerina, please, come down off of your throne and see the world outside. Your people…"
"My animals told me everything. Stay right there and let me come to you."
"But…I…But….ooof"
"It's good to see you, Kerina. Tell me, were you followed?"
"I…I….no?"
"You sound uncertain.
LEO!!!!!"
"Grrr!!!! *boom...boom*
"Smell her!!"
"Ummmm.."
"Don't worry, Austin. He's not going to eat you. He's after all just a lion."
"No!! He's an untamed Wild. How are you not scared? Why are they not attacking?"
"That's because they recognize their Leader and will do what I say when I say it.
Perks to having your daddy be the ruler of the Purebloods. All other bloods will look up to you and not touch you. Course, it's hard to become a Royal on Everone, let alone beat a Royal, but thankfully my daddy did it; and now look.
Not even Healers are respected by all Breeds. I barely had time to conceive I was ruler of these Half-Breeds, and now.....I'm ruler over all the animals."
"Kerina, you're letting this get to your head. If Tyran were here, he would know that there are also other people he needs to protect...and he'd do it in a heartbeat. Him and Wolf both."
"....TYRAN IS DEAD, and Wolf....well….as far as he goes.....no one has seen him since his birth.
I have no big brothers anymore. Which means…..what you see….is what you get."
"Kerina, they are coming….and they will force you on that seat whether you like it or not."
".....I'd love to see them try."
"Kerina, this is not funny. You….."
"HAD TO PROTECT YOU, FROM YOUR FATHERS SCREWUPS!!!!
He made it his mission to wipe out my people and yet, we've grown ten times. You think I'm about to give that up?"
"Kerina, them…out there...are they not also your people?"
"...I thought they were yours?"
"They…."
"Grrrrr!!!"
"They won't listen to me, nor to Timmy, even after he gave his speech.
You should've been there. He drowned on about how royals and squalls, no matter which, if you share a common goal, people should listen to them."
"Then why don't you get Scarlett? She may not be a Royal, but she knows more about anything then..."
"THE PEOPLE WANT YOU!!! Question is...…do you want them?"
".....He gives us what we need, not want."
"Huh?"
"How can I help someone who isn't willing to at least try?"
"Kerina…"
"I want them, I truly do; but I'm not what they need."
"Kerina, wait….hey!!!"
"Grrr!!!"
"Where are you going? They NEED YOU!!! Don't turn your back."
"They don't need me. THEY WANT ME!!!! What they need is you."
"But Timmy sits on the….."
"I DON'T CARE.
REMOVE HIM.
He leads with his heart and not his mind. If you were queen like you SHOULD BE, then maybe all the Healers would still be here on Ewrin…..instead of leaving us to die."
"Kerina, give him a chance."
"No!! If you want change, be it...because I have nothing to offer."
"Kerina…"
"No!!
I didn't sit before, and I won't sit now. They'll turn to you....they have to."
"...They won't. They only talk ill of me and my family."
"You don't think they do mine? How will I be any different?"
"SURROGATE MOTHER EXPERIMENT BY HARRY HARLOW."
"I'm sorry….what did you say?"
"He was a psychologist down on Earth and experimented on motherly affection, but his experiments can be used anywhere, such as…in this situation.
They see you as the completed soft, clothed puppet, and us as the hard wire one. No matter how you act, how you walk, how you torture, or even how you lead; people will continue to come back to you. Why? They see your soft outer clothing/your Royalty. Doesn't matter what lies underneath.
Timmy and I on the other hand, while we are wire and unsoft, we do not wish to hurt and torture, except…..these monkeys still won't come to us."
"Therein lies your problem."
"Kerina, can we talk about this later? They will be here soon banging down your doors?"
"Then I'll kill them if they draw near!!!"
"....They'll keep coming back."
'Then I'll keep killing."
"Won't stop them. They…..
Here they come. I can hear their steps."
*Criiiireaaaak*
"If you don't want them to die, then you best draw them away."
"Kerina, please….don't do this."
"Draw them away….or I will."
*Criiiireaaak*
"ANIMALS….SURROUND!!!!
AUSTIN, YOU BEST BE GOING!!"
"Sword of the Spirit!!!"
"What are you doing? Get outta here."
"If they want you then…."
'BOOM."
"Grrrrrr!!!"
"Muraaaaa!!!"
"Roff!! Roff!!!
Roff!! Roff!!!"
"Here they come."
"What the heck? Why won't this door open? What's…"
"Did you hear that?"
"BOOM"
"Earrrreaaaaaaaaaak"
"Get ready."
"Who has wrecked my...
Kerina?"
"Scarlett?"
"GRRRR!!!"
"It's okay, Leo.
What…wha…what are you doing here, Scar? I thought you went to go get Aaron!!!"
"I did….and now I'm back.
You really do not know your way around Ewrin, do you? This used to be my hideout when I was younger. Yea…..Yea. There's my door."
"This...this is your place?"
"And now it's yours. What? Are we getting the band back together?"
"Scarlett, why are you here?"
"Oh, Adam told us to check to see if there was food in the church where we reside. Although there is, I knew it would not be enough. So, I came here to bring some more…..food...back…to...….question? Where is the food?"
"Ummm…..uh…..I....my pets can't live on their own."
"Wait, Scarlett, were you followed here?"
"Ummmm…..I don't know. I just had my eyes straight forward on the food. Time was of the essence."
"BOOM...BOOM…..BOOM."
"Take that as a yes."
"What's the scoop?"
"The people want Kerina to be queen, but she doesn't want to because she believes in order for Ewrin to move forward….they have tooo…"
"So, the only people they will listen to is us!!"
"Exactly."
"That's a no no."
"BOOM!!!!"
"So, our job is to protect the queen that doesn't want to be the queen but truly is the queen?"
"BOOM!!!!"
"Now you're getting it.
By the way, who's Adam?"
"He's a Healer."
"I thought Timmy told them to leave."
"He did."
"So why…"
"Adam grew on this planet. He is not going to leave it. Something about, help your family before you help others, type of deal."
"Bring me to him."
"What?"
"I said, bring me to him. They think that your family caused this cascade, and then Timmy further depleted it. Thing is, they have never seen Tim in action. If I can lead the Wilds to Adam and he heal them…"
"Then we can say Tim thought it all."
"How?"
"Stop asking questions. Scarlett, is there a backway out of here?"
"Ummmmm."
"BOOM!!!"
"WE'RE IN!!!!"
".....Follow me."
"Kerina, we know you are in here. We followed Scarlett, and...Kerina? Kerina? Kerina!!!!!!!!!"
"Where are….."
"Sir, she's running out back. I can see her."
"Kerina, they're catching up."
"Run faster!! Hurry."
"Grrrr.....Grrrr.. Muraaaaa!!!!!"
"Not today little Wilds. We need to get you to the Healer."
"Look, she is summoning the creatures to her side."
"Kerina, hurry up. They are almost on us."
"I'm not leaving any of them to die."
"But you..."
"That was before I heard about the Healer. I thought there was no way to help, but now I know. Austin, can't you…."
"On it!!!"
"Go...go…..go!!!!"
*Touch*
*Phiierrrrr!!!!*
"Aaaaaaaaghhhhhh"
"We can't go through."
"Phieeeerrrrrr!!!"
"She's blocking us off. The fire is on all sides."
"Let's hurry."
"Come on. We'll find a way around."
"Kerina, I'm so glad you're back."
'HEY, DON'T RUN TOO FAR AHEAD. STAY WITHIN MY CIRCLE. IF YOU DON'T THEN THE WILDS WILL STOP PERCEIVING YOU AS ONE OF ME."
"Sorry. I just….look out!!!!!"
"Aaaaaaaaghhhhh!!!"
*Boof….booof…..BOOM!!!*
"Whe…whe…..where are we?"
"Oh no. That's not good."
"Bum….bum…..ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Austin, I could…."
"Grrrrrrrrr…Grrrrr...Roaaawwwwwl!!!!"
"Stay back Wilds.
Austin."
"Kerina, we can't go back, and I don't have enough magic to stop that Beast."
"Maybe we can...…"
*BOOM*
"Going...somewhere!!!!!"
"We're blocked in. Form a circle everyone. They can't get us from all….Kerina!!! GET BACK HERE. WHERE ARE YOU GOING. KERINA."
"No….stay!!!!
Let me talk to them."
(And you thought I was about to make Kerina act like Abby did when she realized she could rule with her new power. Come on people, I told you Wolfs true family is way different then Abbys. Wolf's family may not like spotlight, but they will still help and protect as best they can. Even here if it means teaming up to make Tim look like the hero. Is it a lie if you're telling it in good faith for another to rise? I mean, could they, if you didn't lie? We'll see what Adam has to say about this plan of theirs and if it need tweaking.)
