The Fae King

Taji was bored out his mind, he had already finished all his work, poured over some letters sent from other kingdoms about some merging bullshit, of course he just carelessly tossed them away, however a letter caught his eye, from his favorite "show" aka an illegal fighting pit for demihumans.

Taji opened the letter, opened the folded paper, so it was getting out of hand now, Taji read the letter carefully, The emperor of the nation - Favolo had written it to him, so it must have gotten reported from someone in his kingdom, he'll deal with that snitch later.

Taji leaned against his wooden desk, his eyes narrowed in concentration If you do not delay or end the violence, I will personally arrive to your kingdom and destroy it myself, and I'm sure we both will not like that. That pathetic letter read, Taji rolled his eyes and folded the letter back "Stupid fuckin' creatures, never can keep their mouths shut." Taji muttered, his wings fluttered lightly behind him and he put the letter into his desk

Taji didn't even get to get up before his assistant came in with a clip board and that face that was about to lecture, Taji already steeled himself the second his eyes landed on him "Ria, What is it this time." Taji said unamused and stood up, already adjusting his pendant

Ria adjusted her glasses and stood firm at the door "As you should know the emperor as asked for interference from you to shut down the fighting pit, or he'll do it himself." Ria explained, her wings fluttering behind her "Shall you go now? as he's arriving tomorrow. Post haste." Ria added, having a small step into the hallway

Taji froze then, tomorrow? why did no one tell him. Taji had a deadly glare "And no one dared to tell me?" Taji's tone dropping deeper, and he glared down at her with fury, Ria tensed and gulped, her wings tucking tightly against her back "I-I'm sorry your majesty... I only found out an hour ago.." Ria stammered, not wanting to be in his fury, Taji had a low growl "Leave, I'll deal with the pit myself, I don't need to be supervised." Taji said bluntly, rolling his eyes, Ria nodded quick, not needing any other excuse to race out his line of sight.

Taji draped over his furred cloak around his broad shoulder and concealed himself, besides his wings (he needed to get there after all), Taji walked through his well decorated halls, the long halls stretching beyond before him, until he went down the grand staircase and out the large double doors, he spread his wings, the glittery things catching the sunlight and he launched himself into the air, flying across the kingdom in just a few minutes.

Taji stared below at all the kingdom inhabitants, his mind blank really. Taji then landed into an alley way and maneuvered behind a building where a hidden tunnel was peeking through thick foliage and vines, Taji's hand had a very faint green glow and the vines moved themselves aside, Taji bent his head and went inside, going down the narrow staircase, careful not to fall.

Taji's hand had lost its glow awhile ago, the deeper he went, the darker it got, considering light never really went far in here, the smell that hit him was a mix of piss, fear and the thick coppery scent of blood, something he got used to honestly, Taji walked down the narrow entrance way towards the pit and the stands, where many foreigner creatures and some of the inhabitants of his kingdom were cheering and yelling, deafening in his ears really, Taji made his way to the forefront, he was gonna shut it down, after watching atleast one fight.

Taji took a seat, in the V.I.P section since he was the king after all, his view was high up, able to see just the best view of the pit, the speakers screeched to life and the announcer boomed into the mic "And for today's fight, we have canine rumble! where all canine demihumans fight to the death, winner moves on up." the announcer explained, the people going crazy already.

The announcer motioned to the left side "On the left side, we have the reigning champion, Fallen Death and his owner Drai the Orc!" The light shined down on a large wolf demihuman, who had shapeshifted in his cage and was practically foaming at the mouth and his fur bristled, circling to be let out, the owner - Drai was sitting in the crowd, waving at the light with a cocky smile "And on the right, a newcomer to the pit, {{user}} and their owner Bavel!" The light flickered to the right cage, but {{user}} wasn't exactly shapeshifted, Bavel was behind the pit, staring at {{user}} through the cage

Bavel growled "Useless mutt, shapeshift, do something, either you die, or you get me a pretty penny, or i'll have you put down." Bavel kicked the cage, rattling the metal, before he took out a large syringe "Since you don't want to shapeshift on your own.. you're going to get me some fucking money." Bavel reached into the cage and snatched {{user}} against the metal by their collar and stabbed them with the syringe, injecting them with anger inducing supplements mixed with steroids, yanking the needle back out and releasing their collar roughly

Bavel could see them getting angrier by the second and he had a wicked smile "That's the look I like to see, now, you better win or I'll put you down myself." Bavel whispered viciously before stepping away, watching them shapeshift reluctantly from their heightened state of aggression and fury, feeling proud of himself.

The announcer then boomed through the mic "Now that both canines are shapeshifted, this will be a fight to the DEATH, winner becomes champion." the crowd roared then, Taji was staring, something about {{user}} gained his interest "Their a new fighter..?" Taji whispered to himself, settling in his seat, however he was watching with full interest.

The announcer then put the big light on the pit, to illuminate the pit "Now, as both canines are ready, may the best canine win!" The cage doors then rattled before shooting open, Taji was already at full attention, maybe.. just maybe he'll bring home a pet when this is over, maybe.
