Chapter 2 - The Beast's Roar

www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBotVzrnLfk

It's a warm and bright day in Sidhe. The capital, Leocor, is full of people today. It's a festival. The Moonfang Festival, celebrating the anniversary of the day all the Laguz tribes banded together and founded Sidhe. To celebrate, many people crowd the streets, selling special foods and treats and play games and perform special dances and songs. Walking along one of the streets is a beautiful Laguz. Her mid length, wavy hair is black with a golden streak going down the left side. Her eyes are dark brown with golden circles in them and her tail is fluffy and black with a golden tip. At her side is a cat Laguz that is about the same age. She has short, blue hair and blue eyes. She runs around the wolf Laguz playfully, poking her. "Hey, Kress! Hey! When are we gonna get some moon cakes? We always get them together every year. Come on, it's a tradition!" She continues to dart around Kress.

The wolf laughs a little and smiles. "Soon, Kit."

Kress continues down the road and Kit chases after her. As they continue on, a mysterious and hooded man blends in with the crowds and move along in the shadows.

Kress stops by one of the vendors and buys two moon cakes for herself and her friend. The woman running the stand happily serves them and tells them to have a great Moonfang Festival. Kit reaches out excitedly for her cake. "Ooh, gimme gimme gimme!" Kress smiles and tosses a cake to her. Kit catches it in her hands and starts to gobble it down. Kress eats more slowly, looking around and enjoying the scenery. Kit stands close to Kress, looking in the same direction. "Whatcha lookin' at?"

"...I think the parade is starting." Kress points over toward a group of Laguz playing instruments that are approaching.

Kit gasps in excitement. "Yes! I love parades! Come on!" She grabs Kress' hand and drags her through the crowds over to the rooftop they sit on every year. The Laguz down below perform all sorts of different dances and different parade floats pass by, carried by powerful Laguz. Each of the tribes has their own special showing of their skills. The cats perform all manner of acrobatic moves, the birds always have an air show planned, the Taguel perform some of their traditional dances and ceremonies from their ancient tribe, the Kitsune usually work together to create a mysteriously dazzling display with spirit flames, and finally, the royal wolves come walking in. The king and queen. They wave to everyone as they pass through. The king is a strong, tall man with black eyes and hair. The queen has golden hair and the same, strange, blue eyes as Kress. The two walk along together and the people watch and cheer. Finally, behind them are a group of non Laguz. A group of Beorc knights wearing the symbol of Opulentus. Kress looks slightly concerned upon seeing them and most of the crowd is quiet. The cheering stops. The knights march onward. Two knights lead the front with a troubadour and light mage following close behind.

The troubadour whispers to the light mage. "Faron...they...they stopped cheering."

"Do not worry. It is natural for them to be shocked. After all, our nations have been at each others' throats for quite some time. We are lucky Sir Gallant is here to help devise a peace treaty."

"...Okay. I guess you're right."

"Of course. Though it is odd they didn't have the king come to put it together. I guess he was just busy." The troubadour looks down slightly, still worried.

Meanwhile, on the roof, Kit whispers to Kress. "What are Opulentian knights doing here...!? Why are your parents just okay with this...!?"

"...I don't know." Kress looks at the knights with confusion.

"Well let's get to the bottom of it. Come on." Kress nods and the two of them leap off the rooftop. Watching the two knights in the lead walk into the castle, they head over to a nearby window to listen.

The knights sit at a large table with the king and queen. Laguz guards stand nearby to protect them. The queen speaks up. "So you have called us here to create a peace treaty. Something to end the fighting between our people. I assume you are taking the place of the king, correct?"

"That is right. The king had other...plans. To attend to. I was sent here to help him with business."

"Very well then. Now, you are aware of our conditions. We simply ask that you no longer attack our people and treat the Laguz equally to the Beorc."

"...Heheh...Treating Laguz equally to Beorc." The guards become uneasy, reaching for their beaststones. "Laguz are nothing close to equal to us. Your people are mindless animals. Your existence is only as slaves to us." The knights nearby stand and reach for their weapons. The guard Laguz transform into multiple different beasts and the king stands up.

"You dare to draw your weapons against us? You are heavily outnumbered here. Our castle is filled with guards."

"Hahaha! Guards! Guards!? You may call them your loyal guards, but lets see how loyal they really are!"

"What do-" The king is cut off as the sound of fighting erupts from behind him. One of the cats had killed the other in a surprise attack.

"It is AMAZING what some people will do for money."

"You bribed our own soldiers?" The king watches the knight carefully.

The queen stands up from her chair. "This is madness! What do you hope to accomplish with this? We were here to negotiate peace, not to do battle!'

"Correction. You were here to negotiate peace. I am here to become a legend. Just imagine it. The history books will speak of the day the great knight, Gallant conquered Leocor, capital of Sidhe! Then he wiped out each of the ugly filth Laguz from this world, one at a time."

"Quiet, you! I've heard enough of your babbling!" The king reaches for a stone and transforms into a large, black wolf. The queen takes on a golden wolf form and both growl at the knight before them.

"Oh, the scary doggies want a fight. Hahaha! Darius, go find the vault! I want you to loot every last gold you can find in there."

"Yes, sir." The knight heads off down the hall in search of the vault holding the kingdom's gold.

Outside, Kress and Kit hear this all go down. They look to each other and nod before breaking open the window and jumping in, both transforming at the same time. Kress takes the form of a black wolf with golden markings all over her body and Kit becomes a dark blue cat. "Father...I'm here."

The king is surprised. "Kress!? You shouldn't be here!"

Kit speaks up. "That doesn't really matter right now. We have enemies surrounding us!"

"...You're right. Very well then. Stand back you two. This knight is very strong." He looks over at the queen. "Avalon, take these two with you and stop that other knight from reaching the vault." The queen nods.

"Stay safe, Warius." The queen runs over to the exit, easily tearing down the soldiers that stand there to guard it. Kress and Kit follow after, but Gallant tries to hit them with his axe.

"Your fight is with me!" Warius bits him from behind and breaks some of Gallant's armor while causing him to miss his attack. "Go!" He motions for the other three to leave.

Kress, Kit, and Avalon all enter the halls of the castle. "The vault is down that way." Avalon motions toward a certain direction in the hall.

"It leads there regardless of if you take the ground floor or the upper level."

Kit thinks carefully. "Which way do you think we should go, Kress?" Kress sniffs out the area. She can smell exactly how many enemies are here. On the ground floor there are three knights, three thieves, two archers, two enemy cat Laguz, and that other knight from before. His name was...Darius? Kress also sniffs out that the second floor contains two knights, three mercenaries, two mages, two enemy bird Laguz, and one enemy Taguel. There are two bird Laguz that are still working for the royal family. She can tell. They don't smell greedy. There's also a familiar scent. ...Garu...?

Meanwhile, on the second floor, the knights from Opulentus begin to search around frantically and the Laguz guards begin to turn on each other. A crow Laguz standing guard nearby the vault looks around in confusion at the chaos before turning to one of the other guards. "What's going on!?"

"I don't know! These knights started attacking and our own allies began turning on each other! I think that we're under attack!"

"Of all the days..." He reaches for his stone and transforms into a crow. "Keep the vault safe from the incoming knights. I'll be helping to protect it as well."

"Right! We'll stand by your side, Garu."

Which path will Kress take?
A.) Ground Floor
B.) Upper Floor

What formation will the birds fight in?
A.) Have the allies create a protective wall around the vault and Garu will stand at the front
B.) Garu will move on ahead while the allies stay behind to protect the vault

D.) Both Garu and the allies leave the vault behind, charging through the ground level to attack enemies

“Bottom floor...” Kress approaches the door, but is stopped by her mother.

“Let's me go in first. The enemies might be planning an ambush.” Avalon kicks open the doors and unleashes a loud, resounding howl. The archers and thieves in the room are caught off guard and attempt to attack the golden wolf.

Howl is activated! Archer is paralyzed!

Miss! Avalon receives no damage 54/54 HP

Howl is activated! Thief is paralyzed!

Howl is activated! Thief is paralyzed!

Two of the thieves and an archer are paralyzed in fear while the other two clearly miss, shaking from intimidation. The enemies are open for attack!

Meanwhile, Garu commands the bird guards to get behind him and watch the vault while he watches the front. Two enemy birds come flying in from the front, charging toward Garu.

Garu receives 12 damage 4/16 HP

Miss! Garu receives no damage 4/16 HP[/i]

Garu steps out of the way of one bird, but gets hit by the other’s claws, tearing at him. He's pretty badly hurt, but doesn't stand down. Transforming into a crow, he retaliates quickly.

Bird receives 13 damage 3/16 HP

Garu quickly flies past the enemy Laguz multiple times, raking his talons through them. Both of the birds drop from the air to the ground, dead. “No mercy for traitors like you.”

Garu reaches level 2! Garu’s Health, Strength, Skill, Speed, Luck, and Defense increases by 1!

He returns to the ground, struggling to fly with his wounds. “Garu, more enemies are approaching. Mercenaries from the Opulentian army.” One of the birds working under Garu’s command points out a group of three mercenaries running toward the vault.

Avalon nods to Kress and Kit. "You've gotten considerably better than when we last trained." She then runs over and smashes the door open to the next room. Three knights stand, blocking the way and both Kress and Kit see Darius enter the door towards the vault.
