"Run!" The panther ordered. "Back to your brother and hide!""There you are mama, I thought we lost you." A new captain stepped forward with a smiled laced with a carefree attitude, as if he'd done this before thousands of times. "Let me go ahead and babysit for a bit."The men cackled and began moving forward, but these weren't like the men from before, they looked less refined like the royal knights he had seen before. Which gave a clue in Karim's mind, they were definitely mercenaries. "Go for the cubs, I'll take care of the mother-"Before the captain was able to finish his sentence his head rolled off, this time the men were startled. With a wild growl the mother pounced and killed the men, but was stopped before she could sink her teeth into the last mercenary, this was was younger, more innocent, he looked like he was in his first day on the job. The way he soiled his pants made it quite obvious."Go to your panthers." The voice from before didn't phase the mama panther and lef
Karim knew full well what was in the letter, it was a task for the siblings to separate and head towards different locations to gather information. It was the very reason why they received panthers as a companion,la, the King wanted to separate them to get things done quicker but their refusal to be apart from one another became an irritating problem. The mission contained details of one sibling heading towards an ally kingdom, find proof that they in fact were plotting against them with an enemy kingdom and report back to their King.Mikhail was to go towards the ally kingdom while Alithea went and infiltrated the enemy kingdom and steal a special treasure that the soldiers had stolen when a convoy of the King's was ambushed.She held a more dire mission seeing as this treasure was specially picked out from all the other treasure that were stolen. She was told it was simple, just steal it back and that's it, nothing too dangerous beside the part that they treasury were guarded by the
The calm woods began to thin out, the road they were following had finally revealed their distant mission as Mikhail blew out a sigh of relief. He couldn't stand another day with those piercing glaring black eyes at the back of his head. He glanced behind him to see the Crown Prince was further away behind him but along side Crown Prince Dewei was Mikhail's panther, Night. They seem to be harmonizing and from the looks of it, Déwei was conversing with Night.He silently mocked the Crown Prince, how could he talk to his panther when even he couldn't do so yet. Only those with a strong bond with their werecat were able to communicate as if the other was a human. "We're here." Mikhail announced as the three went their own way.Well... what Mikhail thought was their own way, he was left alone in the middle of a crowded street while his partner was taken away by the Crown Prince to who knows where. "That's my panther." Mikhail murmured was he looked like he was about to cry as if someone
Waking up early in the morning Karim stretched his long body, he had gotten used to sleeping in his body's original form. It was only natural he shifted back to his beastly form once sleep was needed. He sat back down and was about to get off of the uncomfortable bed when a hand slithered around his furred waist."What do you think you're doing?" Karim spoke with a look as his paw settled on the arm and his claws rested on the tender flesh.But the claw did not phase Déwei as he pulled the panther closer and snuggled into the warm and soft fur. The panther twisted in the arms and the two were soon face to face. The panther had become a man once more and his flawless flesh became a dangerous skin contact to the Prince who had a habit of sleeping naked. Their eyes locked and for what seemed like an hour neither pulled or shied away from the others intense gaze.There was a story behind those eyes, at least behind the golden ones, the dark eyes seemed to hold loneliness and an urger to n
Night quickly came for Mikhail as he waited by the window and watched the common folk go about their day."Should we get the prince?" Mikhail said as he strapped a knife onto his ankle, he turned to look at his panther with a raised brow."No, he's very much capable of finding us, I'm not too sure why he didn't come after us when I left his room." Karim said as he licked his hip, cleaning himself slightly."We were supposed to go scout last night, but you never showed. It's that prince that's getting in the way." Mikhail huffed with annoyance."What can we do? It's not as if we can get rid of him, the human is basically your King, his coronation is coming in a couple of years." Karim said as he laid down onto the bed with a relaxed posture."You're right about that much, then he'll catch up when he needs to, let's get going." Mikhail spoke as he jumped out the window, following close behind was his panther.They jumped from roof to roof, their presence was hidden perfectly for the unt
And so they traveled, almost immediately towards their so called home kingdom. To Déwei it seemed as if the youngest son worried for his beloved mother who he had thought had been killed gruesomely by the kingdoms men. But for the young Karim it was succeeding in derailing the story line further from it's plot, what confused him was the main reason why his mother did not get killed by the human during their kidnapping? Was he able to change some kind of outcome due to them evading his and his brother's kidnapping? His theories obviously would not come out as he predicted a hundred percent, but he knew that most of it would. So if Karim was right then his own presence was growing stronger by every world he changed and with that change he gained the so called plot armor the main characters held. If not that theory then it would be the fact that the ment he derailed the story the story formed a better outcome that would eventually get him to the point and it didn't have to progress as th
Their route towards the Uruvo Kingdom was quite the road, especially when bandits decided to "rob" them for suspecting them to be adventurers on the go."Stop right there!" A group of six men appeared from the bushes with a smirk and vile smiles on their faces.But both so called noblemen did not hesitate to keep going or probably didn't hear the weak looking ant before them. "What are you? Stupid?" The man who spoke before that seems to be taking the role of leader barked out orders again. "Stop right now or we'll kill you!""How annoying." Karim mumbled as he smacked his lips.Startled by the look of annoyance, Déwei glared at the men who placed his sweetheart in a bad mood. He unsheathed his sword, a black aura emerged as he swing the sword diagonal. In an instant screams erupted as Karim noticed black flames engulf the bandits and were unable to put it out. "Let's go, we've wasted time on vermin." Déwei cooed as he soothed his man and they continued on, they ran side by side until
Eating until they were filled, both Karim and Déwei were summoned towards the ball room. Karim held a proud and cocky attitude as his head was held high and his tail swayed lazily. While on the other hand, Déwei seemed to be on cloud nine as he could feel the panther beside him rub it's tail ever so often against his leg."Presenting crown prince Déwei, and his protector Karim." The announcing eunuch spoke loud and clear, all of the Noble families turned to the gorgeous man with beautiful silver hair, right beside him walked a panther which looked at them as if they were nothing in it's eyes. The golden eyes that would land on the master of the families, would make the men shudder and feel as if a huge knife was pressed against their throats."Come my son, I shall begin the decree." The King seemed to be buttering up the prince for some reason.Either he didn't care or didn't really pay attention, crown prince Déwei sat onto his throne beside his father, the concubine was nowhere to b
