[Since this is no longer a valid challenge, I will post this now b/c I like drama and I don't have to worry about a time limit anymore :3] It was an ordinary day. The King arose early on that morn, pleased to be back in his home. He and Maverick had gone off adventuring in attempt to bond and prepare his son for his coming coronation. Gerhardt had decided that it was getting near time to let Maverick take the reigns on Seracia. He was at the age of two now, and though he was still young his family was established and he had a good head on his shoulders. Amethyst eyes peeked open as he yawned and rose. Vitality and strength pulsated in his veins, as if his body had been waiting for him to realize that he would not have to be King forever. Though he loved his pack and would lay down his very life for it, he knew it was taxing on both his body and his mind. It was time for a change, some fresh blood was needed to invigorate his home. A call rang out, not unlike all those he had heard before, only this one was directed at him. There was a challenger ? and by the pitch of the notes ? a female one. What queen wannabe would challenge his reign? He knew not the answer though he was eager to find out. Almost immediately he was on his paws, following the familiar path to where the battlefield was located. Adrenaline already coursed through his veins as he made his way ? taking his precious time to keep from using up too much energy. If it was a fight this woman wanted, it was a fight she would get. He rose up to his full height, and puffed his chest as he came onto the scene, tail flagging out behind him in dominance. Amethyst eyes blinked thrice as Adette?s form became visible in the arena. It was not an ordinary day. He slowed until he was only a yard in front of her, his bodice on the same plane as hers so that their heads were facing directly at one another. Tail flickered gently between his hocks, only slightly relaxed now that he knew who had called. A perplexed demeanor took over his face. The last he?d seen of her, she had no semblance of a memory, could it be it had come back? Should have known an ex-wife would come back to bite him in the rump. ?If it?s a challenge you present, might I ask what your motive is? Last I recall you were living happily in Valhalla, content to try and start anew.? He looked around, noting the presence of several others. Epiphron, his daughter in law was on the scene, as well as Kamala, Syrinx, and his brother Gideon. He stood near them, but not so near that they would be harmed if his ex wife suddenly combusted into flames. He twisted his amethyst eyes toward her once more. ?My brother speaks the truth. I have lain with none since our divorce.? Fact rang true on his lips, would she believe it? Speech, |
