Damsel mostly Stressed.
Well, I've talked about doing a pokemon anthro story. finally got bored enough to start it. Now we gotta go over some things before I start this so I don't throw everyone for a loop.

1. Pokemon are still pokemon, meaing that while they are 'anthros' or 'morphs' they still go by pokemon because pokeman sounds funny.

2. There are no humans. This is an alternate reality where pokemon evolved into a humanoid state because humans never came around. Yeah its simple, I didn't like the whole 'planet of the apes humans blew themselves up' thing.

3. If you don't like anthros, stay out. Seriously, I don't want to hear a peep abotu how 'I hate the anthros!' because this is the story and thats that.

4. My comp with my other two fics 'into my woods' and 'forsaken vessels' is down for the count and I am unable to write them. Thus I will be focusing on this story until I can finish my others. Once I can I'll wrap up into my woods so that I can focus on this and fv.

5. This story has a rating that is pending. Atm its 2:50 am and I want to write limse and fluffs. So there is going to be fluff. I will probably be going near the R range.

MAJOR NOTE: This story will probably go near the R to nc-17 range. Meaning I will be using perverted characters, indoundo even if I can't spell it and thigns that lead to sex scenes but I will not fully write the scene. You just will get alot of kissing, hugging, gropping but my scenes are mainly emotion over action anyway.

6. This story will be following the lives of two to three characters who are related in ways but in others wont have anything to do with each other tell the end. This will be longer then my normal five chaps.

7. I combined my mythology for the legends from my 'the legenderies sinned' story with out the sinned part and just the gods part.

8. Keep on the look out for culture and character notes after each chapter.

9. This is an importent note... LEAVE MY GRAMMER ALONE. Serisouly, I know it sucks, I know you want to help me improve. I do use spell check and all that jazz, but people, sitting there and pointing it out doesn't help me learn, as I learn differently then alot of people. I am planning on taking a glass this coming semestor and getting writing help, right now I want people to focus on.

A. Plot devolpment

B. Characters devolpment.

Please I know I got a few typos as I am typing these info/guidelines in the reply body. But don't sit and point them out, because I don't give a darn about it, I try tro improve all the time, I am always trying. Understand that. But for this fic, I ask for just two things. A and b.


Arrow a.k.a Akio is copyrighted to Yami_Ryu, I got permission to use this character design but was told I could rename. This character and the personality (well as close as I can get it) DOES NOT belong to me. She belongs to Yami_Ryu and I would not want to take her from her. ALL CREDIT for this character goes there.


All the others do belong to me though :D well not pokemon. Pokemon not belong to me, or else I'd be all haha losers I'm rich you lose :O

.​


The day was hot, the heat could even be seen in the air and the sizzling sound of the sunrays echoed off the red colored sands. The red sand stretched for miles, the dunes each taller then the next, blocking in views of far off towns or cities.

The yellow sun was high in the sky, showing it was mid afternoon, only a small wind blew that would pick up a few grains of sand and blow them a few inches. The heat seemed to grow a little stronger before it dropped, as if the sun was shivering. Over a far sand dune, to the south came a form, it dashed over it with quick tiring speed, it was a man on a steed.

The steed wheezed, its coat was thick and it was not built for the desert life, it was a strange creature, built low to the ground and it scurried across it like a lizard. Its coat was a thick and curly, much like a sheep’s. It had a narrow snout and a forked tongue, with a horn on the tip of its nostrils and two above its yellow eyes. Its tail swayed as it scurried down the dune with a forced speed from its rider.

The rider was cloaked, his back ducked down as he tried to lay low on his steed. His eyes bulged from his head, they were white and showed no pupils, the reason for this was because his eyes were not two but hundreds of small eyes that could look in all directions. His back bulged under the cloak. His hard skin was a dark shade of orange and his hands that held to the reigns were not multiple fingers but one large clump with a possible latch like a claw but more moveable.

His many eyes could see forward, to the sides and behind him. And he knew he was being followed. The parasect man attempted to gulp but his mouth was to dry. He knew he wasn’t going to get far. He saw the form race over the dune; the assaulter was on a more desert based steed. A creature that had long legs and flatting feet, covered in shiny blue scales and a long neck, the dragon like steed was gaining and gaining fast. The creature lowered its head and bellowed as its rider kicked its side. The steed’s balancing tail whipped about behind it as it pushed on its tiring limbs.

The form on the steed was broad shouldered and had a long strong neck. White hair waved about behind the being as the hunter narrowed on the prey. The race continued, the man having no idea where he was going but he knew he had to get away. The hunter knew this prey was going no where and it wasn’t getting away.

The victim continued to flee and the attacker to follow, the thick coated dehydrated steed gasped for breath its mouth open and drool escaping, foam developing on the sides. The man bit his hard lip, his feelers before them constantly testing the air. He smelt flesh in it, he smelt life, and he was near a town. Maybe he did have a chance.

As if the follower could feel the hope in the air, a cry of pain bellowed from the woolly coated mountain drake and the steed fell flat onto its face, sliding down the sand dune and sending its riding rolling in a tumbling mess. The steed whined once it came to a stop and rose onto three legs, its back right claw rising as blood trickled down, a dagger was lunged deep into the beast’s leg. It would die in a few moments from wryness.
The parasect man coughed and patted at his chest, spitting out a mouth full of sand as he rose slowly from where he had stopped, the red sand fell off him back onto the ground. He looked around in a mad panic, his many eyes trying to spot his attacker. But finding no one he knew his time was limited and he quickly made his way over to his steed, checking its wound but he knew it was to damaged and the fact it was so tired meant it was useless anyway.

He glanced around once more and soon realized that he wasn’t alone anymore. A grunt was heard as he felt great pain in his back, well not his back but his fungus that grew on it, under his cloak was a flat growing mushroom, which stored nutrients and other vital things for him during tough times as this, it also made a good cover to protect himself. But still hurt as the assassin dug the dagger deeper, twisting her dark feathered hand so that the blade went deeper.

“Pl-please.” Begged the humanoid pokemon, “I swear I got the money, I just need a day, please.” He didn’t need to turn around, nor could he with a dagger in his fungus on his back, his many eyes could see behind him. Staring into two golden orbs, she was a tall woman, nearing six feet, her shoulders were broad and her neck long, her body was coated in a thin layer of black downy feathers. Her hands where thick and her fingers clunky but held a sort of grace that had been drilled into her from training.

Her mouth was narrow and beak like, though it was coated by the thin layer of feathers on every inch of her body. Her bird like features and long neck told him she was of a god’s bloodline. But she wasn’t acting like any chosen people. She had an ornament on her head, it went back behind her head like a horn, but was apart of her head like the skull, also coated in the feathers. Around her eyes were two even blacker hard casings, normal for her species, they went around and shot back passing her head barely. Her kind was usually a white coated species of pokemon but seemed she was a rare darker breed. A deadlier one at that.

“Your time was up three days ago, you were dead the moment you ran. My boss he is a patient man. He doesn’t like it when pathetic insecticide pokemon borrow money then run.” She chuckled, her voice was deep and rich womanly voice, that of a skilled assassin. Every movement she made, every look she had was analyzing for the perfect kill, for the perfect annihilation. But there was no one around; this was no marauder boss she had to destroy quickly and cleanly. She could have fun with this one.

She rarely had fun.

Another surge of pain echoed through the mushroom and into the humanoid pokemon’s mind. She now had two daggers into his back, he had seen it coming but there is nothing he could do, she was three feet taller then him, defiantly stronger and he was a simple carpet merchant. He should have listened to his mother and became steed tradesmen.

“I do not wish to die! Not like this!” he cried and moved a little, it was a mistake as the pain surge from the daggers in his back made him nearly fall over. The assassin released her grip on one of the blades and grabbed his shoulder then she sharply twisted the other blade so that it caused him even more pain. She ignored the scream that followed.

“I will kill you any way I please.” She hissed into his hole of an ear. Her tail raised, the long black limb waved back and forth, close to the tip were two sharp sparks, which had recently been sharpened. “Be it quick and painless…” her hand raised and ran over his head. “Or slow and painful.” With a jerk of the dagger another scream escaped him. A strange liquid oozed from the wounds, as while it was from a fungus it was apart of this man and it bled. The parasect withheld tears, barely, if they were in a town this death would be quick, if they were around people he would be dead long ago. But she was toying with him, playing with him.

He had to find another way, a way to end if faster. The assassin reached behind a fold that hung over her behind, she wore wraps around her fingers and wrists to hide certain scars. She wore tight fabric around her legs and nothing on her feet. A blood red sash around her waist and a gray thick cloth around her top, which passed across one breast then around her neck before crossing over the other and going around her back. This was the easiest thing she could move in.

“Scream.” She jerked the dagger once more and a screeching insect cry escaped him and he fell to one knee, causing even more pain to surge through him. He pushed away forcing her to withdraw a dagger from his hide as he simply tried to crawl and escape.

“… pathetic.” She hissed after him. She followed him two or three steps before grabbing his cloak and grinning madly. He could see her still and had no way of looking away as she brought her elbow up and down swiftly on the second dagger, bringing it the rest of the way through his fungus and into his back, cracking his exoskeleton. The scream that followed was worse then any of the others, as while the pain was bad before he had no idea what it was like to have the blade pierce through a part of his body that had true receptors.

“I could do this for hours you know.” She pushed him down placing her bird like foot onto his back. The man was being reduced to such dishonor and shame by a woman, it was not easy to bear but at least no one could see him like this. His sobs echoed as he could not think clearly. His mind growing numb from the pain, and the assassin was just starting.

She reached behind her and pulled lose another dagger, now having two in both hands, her tail swishing in excitement. She bent down now as she put the fresh dagger into her other hand with the dirty one. She shrugged and patted the merchant’s head.

“I got nothing against you bub, but boss says you gotta go and I want to make it fun.”

“… pet.” He hissed.

She froze a second, not sure if she heard him speak or just hiss. “What was that bug?” her eyes narrowed.

“Pet.” He said bolder, his white eyes looking at her, they he was looking at everything. “Slave, drone, you do everything he says don’t you? Does he fool around with you and you get dominated like a weak drake? Little pet has to be a good slave for her master….” His face had changed, it had become more cruel and determined, amused almost. But a scream followed and the image faded, the young merchant was once more on his face sobbing as two daggers were plunged into his fungus, he wouldn’t last much longer.

The assassin froze; she wasn’t sure if he had really spoken or if her imagination had gotten away from her. Being dark feathered the sun heated her up quickly, she often had illusions if she remained in the heat so long. She hated how most of her master’s land was desert.

The crying stopped as her lightning fast tail dripped with the cream colored blood of the parasect man, she had stabbed her sharp tail into his neck and easily ended his life with a quick flick. She was no longer amused.

~*~

The sounds of soft shoes barely came as a thin well groomed figure walked down a decorated hallway of a finished mansion. Its floors were marble and its walls had many windows and sunrays. But the figure walked with her head low, her eyes away from any others. She was a frail thing, built for one thing, to sit and look pretty. She had that down, she had too, it was a matter of life and duty to her, if she didn’t have what she was bred for, she wouldn’t be alive.

Her body was coated in a soft cream fur, almost white but not quite, her hair was a dark golden, which was not easily gained in a country where dark hair was dominant. Atop her head were two catlike hears that were tipped with black fur. Between her ocean blue eyes on her forehead was a red jewel that was inherited from her parents’ genes.

A long catlike tail curled up from her back and had a curl to the end of it. Her body moved with the grace of her feline blood and her head usually would be held high in pride that she was a clean blood, stunning Persian pokemon. Her ruby robes were revealing while her cat like nose and mouth were hidden behind a veil.

This was probably the reason why her head was low, why she dare not look anyone in the eye. Why she did not walk with the pride she should have for being such an accomplishment for breeders.

She was owned. Beauty did not come with out a price, she was a slave girl, born after many years of breeding from her parents slave inheritance, long ago one of her very great grand mother’s was sold away from her family to help pay off a dept. Over the years the slave breeder worked on creating a pure blooded Persian female, which was not easy to achieve as most pokemon species were cross breeds and finding a none damaged Meowth or Persian that had not be assaulted or used was nearly impossible. But it was done, and here she stood, a being of beauty and great pride to own. A trophy female to the one who had paid quite a bit to gain such a treasure, to be allowed to even touch her.

In a way she was a queen in some eyes, in another she was just a little girl, barely sixteen and all ready her body was filled with drugs and enchantments to make her grow into her true build quicker.

She was a late bloomer, her master is impatient.

She lifted her eyes towards the door, reaching up her hand which bore golden bands that were often chained to various things, she had ran more the once. She entered the room that was her master’s work room. There he sat, at the large table, the lord of the south and the marauder of the east.

Ransom O’dar was a greedy man who rose to power by being just what he is, a intelligent man raised to do one thing and one thing alone, gain power and respect. A noble goal at times and a down right selfish one at others.

The man was violet skinned and held the complication of a serpent, his face was narrow and his nose extended into a snout with a large mouth that remained shot most of the time, a flicker of a forked tongue every once in awhile. His orange eyes remained down at the paper, at the side of his neck extra skin flatted out into a hood with rather disturbing markings. The arbok man wasn’t unpleasant looking, he was a bit older then the Persian but he was a looker in his day.

He wore rich golden robes that were fit for the sultan and near by stood two body guards who watched the girl closely, either doing there jobs or the fact she was fair better looking then any other sixteen year old, but one forgets that most of it is induced by drugs and spells.

A flicker of a forked tongue and the arbok turned his gaze to his trophy; he had spent much money on just purchasing her at the age of seven, even more educating her. Any man could have an idiot treasure, but he wanted her to have more uses then to just make his compactors jealous (and other things), he wanted her to be able to handle his contracts and paperwork.

“Katera, you look lovely. The tonics are working I see.” He offered his hand to her and she raising her head a bit more approached and dipped it in respect before taking it.

“You are so formal still, that little slave girl in you.” He chuckled caressing her hand.

“Does it not please you?” she asked her eyes looking at his in alarm.

“You know what pleases me, my dear.” He replied simply, “How did your studies go?” he changed the subject. Her heard folded ever so slightly as she moved closer to the table, he didn’t release her hand though as he felt her soft fur. It was softer then usually, the tonics were working great. The underdeveloped young woman of only sixteen would soon of the mature body of an eighteen year old.

She used her free hand to grab the scroll she wanted and looked back at Ransom, he chuckled lightly once more and released her hand so that she could open it, and dipping her head in respect once more she rolled the scroll open and leaned over the table.

“I found several holes in this contract that you could use to your advantage.” She spoke as she began to read down it quickly, Ransom leaned up in his chair and placed a hand on Katera’s back as he glanced at the contract as well.

“Here and here.” She pointed out, “This doesn’t say second son or any offspring of the children after the first born. And here is a trading loophole as well.” She pointed but froze as she felt Ransom’s hand decide to venture farther south and sit on her rump. Katera licked her lips before she continued to point out the miner mistakes that could be used and also the ones that could be used against them.

Ransom listened of course, but he was being distracted by the pure bred female standing beside him, her perfume and her body was so distracting. Perhaps he was wrong spending so much on her classes; he just wanted to keep her locked away from sight so he could have her beauty for himself.

He had taken her hand in his free one as she continued to speak and kissed it gently, a snakes kiss though is not a very comfortable thing and the servant bit her lip in a bit of surprise.

“Ow.” She gasped and covered her mouth, which was rude of her to say. Her eyes snapped towards Ransom to see what he would do, the fear evident as she was the servant and he was the master, she had no right to speak out as if he hurt her.

But he wasn’t raising his hand to hit her or say anything to scold her, it seemed while she did not like how fake her body was with the hormone inducing drugs and spells, it got her one advantage. He didn’t want to strike her. But that was just one up on many of the downs.

He turned her around so she would look at him; her eyes looked down at once. Not wanting to show too much disrespect. He chuckled again and with a glance the two others in the room left. He reached up and ran his hand along the side of her face, before he gripped her arm and tugged, causing her to sit on his lap. Her tail curled around her as she grew a bit nervous.

“You act as if this is new.” He chuckled as he brought her head down so he could nuzzle his face into her hair. She remained calm and moved when he moved her, not resisting. She knew resisting was bad. Once he had smelled the unique aromas in her hair he turned her face towards his once more, her eyes were looking down once more and he knew she had gone into ‘I am a good servant girl’ mode.

He was growing tired of this mode; he could have any servant girl he wanted, but this one he had waited ten years for to be born and another ten almost for her to mature. This is his and he wants her to show him she belongs to him. But she was still young; she had plenty of time to love him like a woman should.

Not that he truly loved her, but he was in love with her beauty.

He tipped her chin and reached up pulling the veil down, revealing her full face. He smiled knowing that only he got to see her full face, only he got to see her with out these clothing. He felt the control and power he had over her, the moment she was born he owned her, the moment she became a true woman he was there.

She owed him everything, he made her who she was, and he made her this. She could have been with some ungrateful man, a man who would hurt her and harm her and prevent her from showing all of this greatness…

He smiled before leaning in and kissing her lips, the scaly lips were anything but enjoyable to her but the feel of his hands on her; the feel of his touch comforted her. Ever since she was seven years old she had been with this man, saw him as a father figure and now he was in a way her lover, though she didn’t love him like that… no, she knew was love was and this wasn’t love.

He protected her, and she was grateful.

She gasped a little as his hands were on her sides and moving up, rubbing her and playing with her, showing her what he expected from her every time he saw her. She leaned her head forward putting it onto his shoulder as his hands now were on her shoulders.

She bit her lip, knowing he wanted to do more with her then just play with her like this. She didn’t like it when he wanted this, she was use to it but still, the passion was there but the … love wasn’t. And it was empty.

“Good girl.” He whispered to her as he began to slide her straps south, wanting to have more fun before they both needed to return to there duties. The shoulder wraps were down now and he leaned her back and placed another kiss on her lips before kissing her neck.

She was feeling exposed and yet she kissed him back, she was told that giving something back sometimes made the master’s happier…

Then the unexpected happen, the door flew open and a reptilian black scaled man stepped in.

“Arrow’s back, Rans- oh um, wow I got good timing.” The red toothed man chuckled in nervousness as he wasn’t expecting to find Ransom with his trophy at such a moment, though being the mind in the gutter kind of guy, he wasn’t unhappy about it.

Katera let out a short scream flinging herself against Ransom’s chest trying to cover her exposed fur. Ransom instinctively rose to his feet sending the Persian to the ground, tears filled her eyes as she turned away covering herself.

“Tor you better have a damn good reason for barging in unannounced.” Snapped Ransom, annoyed at being caught at a weak moment and the fact his right hand man had seen more of his trophy then he ever wanted any other man to see.

“Er-um… I do.” Tor replied as the seviper got a sheepish look. By now Katera had recovered enough to once more be covered and standing as she kept her back towards Ransom’s henchmen and was quickly placing her veil back on.

“Well? Out with it or I take your tongue.” Snapped Ransom as he turned to Katera just remembering her and whispering something to her ear, the Persian sniffled but nodded a little and he shooed her letting her flee the room in her shame.

“… Man can I get one of those?” Tor asked as he turned his gaze following after the embarrassed cat pokemon.

“Tor…” Ransom let the threat hang in the air which quickly caught the seviper’s attention.

“Ah well, Isis would kill me anyway. Arrow’s back, she made the kill and brought back what money that idiot had. Oh and Roal is here to see you, bye-bye.” The seviper quickly turned his robes of satin and began to attempt a quick exit when he felt a strong grip on his shoulder.

“I want a hundred gold coins from your stores for looking at Katera; you know the rules about her. Also… ROAL IS HERE?” snapped the lord before shoving the seviper aside and storming off down the hallway.

A second later and the seviper blinked his blank look fading. “… Oh damn your gonna tell Isis on me. That woman all ready has me on a tight leash.”


End chapter.




Info:

Breeders: humanoid pokemon who own a certian type of slaves and breeds them to be certian kind of servants, from field workers to sex slaves.

Chosen people: There are 'legendry' races of pokemon which are 'the chosen people' of a certian god, such as the suicune god has a chosen race, which just happens to be the suicune pokemon.

Race: Each type of pokemon and there evos count as a type of race, like we have races such as african, asian, smelly americans... (thats me :D) *takes a jab at her own contenent* the pokemon work like that too. Certian kinds are degraded as well, insect and some types of water pokemon are degraded because they are different.


Funny fact about a character: Katera is a character I have had since I was eigth years old, can you tell? her name is as cliche as they come! And she's drop dead gourgous... which shows how marysue I was when i was younger, but I still love the character, so I have been twicking her for a long time, I want a abnormally pretty character, but showing that beauty isn't bought... or in this case it is. I'm hoping to turn her into a believble character.

Chapter 2:
Sibling gods, Old men at play and the tears of a fake woman...

Rating: PG-10/PG-13 (we got some indoundo)

The warm fading sunlight filled the decorated sanctuary of the temple. The marble pews were empty and clean and the floors designs were warm from the sun. The great open window that faced out towards a flourishing garden with a fountain sat before the pews. The garden had blooming trees and flowers and in the center was the flowing fountain. The shallow pool held small golden fish like creatures that scooted along the bottom of the pool surviving off algae.

Standing in the center of the fountain on a platform was a statue, well actually two statues. Two dragons like forms that were risen up onto the strange legs that were attached to it. They had round bodies and long necks, the larger one looked down at the smaller one, though rounded snouts nearly touched. Behind the eyes were two long ears that had a torn appearance on the end. There wings sprouted from there backs and did not hold true wing shape but where straight and had the same torn affect on the ends.

On each chest of the statues was a triangle, the carved markings on there heads were circles on the center of there snouts before there eyes and had another circle within. There the larger one held the smeller's one paw with a sort of protective care. From there free paws they each held a cup and flowing out of the cup were the water that fell into the fountain.

A low humming sound echoed about the sanctuary as a few humanoid pokemon passed through wearing brown cloaks and there heads dipped in respect, the monk's threw out special incense and herbs as was the tradition when the sun was about to sit, to ward off evil spirits.

Sitting on the center marble, before the pews and windows, looking out into the garden was a girl that resembled the statues. She had thin long neck, her face was a rounded snout and she had the same ears as the statues. Sprouting from her back were flightless wings that went down to her hips. She had the same red circle on her face and a white one within that matching her mostly white body. While she resembled the statues in one way, her body was humanoid and small, showing she was just a young girl. Her clothing was a blue robe showing she was of noble blood; it was open and beneath was a normal plain outing dress. Several gold necklaces graced her thin neck and her red eyes watched the statues her hands clasped in prayer.

A small breeze blew through her red hair, it was short barely passing the back of her head and it was braided into many small braids.

"Bless you, child of the sibling gods." Whispered a voice as a young monk approached. He was an oddish, his dark blue head and leafy green hair was all that could be seen as his brown robe revealed no more details. His black eyes were kind though and humble.

"I may look like the gods, but my people have fallen far from the path they took." She replied simply, "You know that, brother Ali." She added as she lifted her head to look at him.

"But none the less, you are the lati's chosen people." He spoke as he lifted a small plate and blew on it sending the sweet smell of incense around.

"Have you ever thought it odd that the lati's were once one god but became two?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity. She didn’t really get a chance to speak to a servant of the lati twins before she had to leave.

“I use too; I was a young boy then. But I learned that it is a symbol of unity in a way. There is one being.” He held one blue finger up, “Then when this being finds another to share his life with it creates two and when those two create more lives it creates family. A family has to have a sort of unity, though they bicker and disagree much like Latias did with her brother, they always figured it out in the end, they may be the youngest god, but they are very wise when it comes to loving even when one no longer likes the other.”

Naoko sighs, still not sure how someone could still love even if they no longer liked the person. She turned her ruby eyes towards the statue before standing slowly.

”I have a lot of think about, Brother Ali. Thank you.” She dipped her head and he responded with a head dip as well.

“It is a long journey for the chosen people, it always has been. Take care, Naoko, and tell your brothers I greet them.” He said as he waved the incense a bit more.

The latias humanoid girl nodded once more and turned making her way down the ale of pews and towards the large oak doors at the end. Her head held high as she walked with the steps of a noble and the proud eyes of a chosen race. Little did she know her determination for truth would lead her family down a very dangerous path…

~*~

The sound of booted feet hit the ground as a man in golden robes entered the meeting room; it was decorated with benches and pillows with a long table in the center where important meetings would take place. No windows were in the room, to prevent people from checking the time to much and to allow them to argue with out annoyances.

The arbok pokemon entered the room; the strong tall man looked around. His two body guards followed closely behind him, he waved his hand showing he wasn’t in need of them and the two guards backed off to near by corners.

Some voices were heard as Ransom spotted two men arguing. He grumbled as he saw his nephew, a smart kid, born an ekans though, even if his parents were both arboks. Ransom kept an eye on him while his dad ran into some money issues… and went missing.

Ransom shrugged, not even family got away with stealing from him. But he wasn’t about to kill off his nephew because of his father’s sins. The kid was trained well enough in sword play and had his usefulness. The ekans wore green robes, showing he was of lower rank then Ransom who wore a soft golden. Underneath were baggy red slacks but no shirt. The man he spoke two was around five eleven feet, a foot taller then the Ekans humanoid and a few feet shorter then Ransom.

“Sir, the problem is, while the merchant was yours he still borrowed money from my uncle, which made him liable to be charged with thievery.” The ekans’ tried to explain.

The other man was of latios blood, having the humanoid build but long neck and markings of a latios, except the blue that graced latios was green, showing he had some mix blood in him. He wore golden robes with silver lining, showing he was of the same status as Ransom.

“But it is also true that Lord O’dar could have come to me and I could have paid the dept. There was no need for such blood shed; I did not know he trained his assassin’s to torture the victims.” Snapped the deep voice as the latios clinched his hands in tight fists from anger.

“From what I hear the deed is done. If this is your only reason for being here, Lord Roal then you are wasting my time. Jiro, go find a servant to fetch me some spiced tea.” Snapped Ransom as the arbok humanoid took his seat at the head of the table.

The young man nodded with a of course and quickly left the room to tend to the business he was ordered too. Ransom turned his yellow eyes towards the graying ones of Roal.

“I see your sight isn’t growing any better, my old friend.” The snake chuckled as he watched the latios make his way to a near by seat and sit himself down fanning his wings a little.

“Just because my eyes fade does not mean my sight does, old man, I know you well enough to know you are trying to gain one up on me.” Replied Roal as he gave the arbok a look. Ransom ignored it as he smacked his lips a little, he wanted his tea.

“What is it you want.” Ransom asked sharply now, deciding to get to the point.

“… come now, you treat me like an enemy. We use to be partners you know, back in the days when all we owned were our steeds and all we had was what we took from commoners.” Roal chuckled, “Now here we are, getting fat and old as we sit around and order our slaves to kill each other. Tell me, have things gotten better for you or do you miss the old days?”

“You are getting old, Roal. Sound like an old man, talking about as if we are on our death beds.” Ransom replied simply as he looked over, watching a charmander servant girl enter with a tray. She sat it down and began to pour the tea as she knew how the master liked it.

“Hah, I can still take you any day with a sword.” Roal laughed as he motioned at the servant, not wanting anything to drink. He knew better then to accept anything from an old marauder boss.

“Perhaps, but I doubt you could take my nephew.” Ransom smirked, knowing that while this old latios was good with a sword, with age came slower reflexes, and while Ransom had a longer lifespan then this old man, he sometimes worried that Jiro will surpass him.

“Oh so it is true that your training that boy in your likeness. I hear you got quite the slave girl though, trained to be pleasing in every way, if you know what I mean.” Lord Roal grinned as he placed a hand on the table. “Could easily get a good heir out of her I’d think.”

“I am not interested in half-breed offspring and I would not wish to ruin her figure. She is nothing more then a trophy, a very expensive one at that.” He replied before looking at the latios, “I hear you have three children, I only remember your eldest son.”

“As you know, the chosen people of the gods are rare and few, I wanted to make sure my line was secure. I have my eldest son, Enoc, and my twins, Luke and Naoko. Naoko is a spitting image of her mother, damn that woman running off with a half-breed mew. I swear those mew kin are the worse, think they own everything because they are the ‘chosen people’ of the goddess of life.” The latios spit to the side, showing his disgust at what happened. Ransom knew if one spoke with Roal long enough, he got a lose tongue.

“So they are well?” Ransom asked, getting a look from Roal, he knew at once that the arbok was getting to nosy and that something was up. He needed got get back on topic…

Splat.

“What the…” Ransom gasped as the latios man nearly fell out of his seat in surprise. Sitting right in front of Ransom, nearly knocking his tea over was the head of the parasect merchant, the all ready white eyes long dead and dry. It was no longer bleeding but the blood stains on its neck and face were evident.

“What kind of joke is this, Lord Ransom?” Snapped Roal, He patted his chest his heart beating quicker.

“Like you have never seen a head before, old man, Arrow just showing me she did her job.” Ransom replied as he sipped his tea.

Standing in the doorway, still dressed as she was the day before, was Arrow, the assassin. The black lugia raised her head, her white hair over her shoulders as she eyed the latios with a look that could kill. Seemed she didn’t like him very much, he pushed her around when she was younger.

She never forgave him for pushing her into the mud.
“Don’t you have any manners woman?” the latios lord growled as he crossed his arms.


“No.” she replied.

Arrow walked forward, the six and a half foot tall woman dipped her head near Ransom’s as a sign of respect. The arbok did not rise but just sipped his tea once more wanting to finish it. Once he sat it down he looked at the head then at the assassin.

“Well done. Keep the money you found on him and…” he reached into his robe and pulled out a very thick golden necklace. On it were many rubies that shinned from the flickers of the lamp in the center of the table. They reflected from Arrow’s yellow eyes as she nearly squealed in delight and snatched the chain from his grasp.

“I thought you would like it.” He laughed as she quickly put it on and seemed to just glow with joy at the new shiny. The child-like black lugia grinned as she poked at the jewels before she turned and began to make her leave.

“Arrow, before nightfall I’d like to speak to you.” Ransom called after her. The lugia turned her head before her body followed and nodded with a yes master, the words barely said she was gone.

“… That woman is going to be the death of you.” Roal growled, “She’s too disloyal.”

“If you didn’t pay your henchmen, Roal, they would be disloyal also. Arrow may be my slave, but I do reward those who are good.” The lord replied.

“… She’s going to be the death of you.”

“… I know. But the day that comes will be the day I am no longer worthy of living.” He grabbed the head and chunked it at Roal, who nearly cried out in surprise as he caught it. “And I plan for that day to be many from now.”

~*~


It was nearly dark, most of the servants were wrapping up there chores before they got to eat what little food they were offered. The halls were emptying one by one and the life was fading as the night came near.

Near the master’s quarters, in a room near by, small sniffles were heard as a young girl cried. Her body ached with pain as the enchantments and potions that it was filled of began to wear off. She had all ready taken her next set but it still hurt to have her body changed to fit that of an older one.

Oh how she wished she could be herself, she was a late bloomer, her body wasn’t anywhere near where her master wanted it to be. So he could look at her and touch her in ways she barely understood. The Persian slave bit back a sob, knowing crying was weak of her.

She should be happy; she was treated like a goddess. She had such wonderful things and she even had her own servants. But what had happened earlier had startled her, this was her first time having this new fake body and it had all ready been seen by such a man as Tor. She felt violated and hurt, scared to continue to be this way.

She didn’t hate Ransom, she didn’t love him either, as he was her protector but also her master. It was such a strange relationship for her, but this was her destiny, she was bred for this…

But she was mortal… and so she cried.

“Little Kat?” whispered a voice, catching her off guard and the slave girl lifted her head to look straight at the young man entering her room. Jiro dipped his head in respect but a look of concern was on his face. “What is wrong little Kat? Where is the joyful ten year old I met so long ago?” he asked with a small smile, entering farther into her room.

The Persian woman sat up, her ears folded back and began to quickly wipe the tears from her eyes. She looked at this man carefully as he grew closer before sitting on the edge of her bed. He was twenty three years old and she had known him ever since she was ten. He was a friend in a way… until she became ‘mature’ then they were no longer allowed to be alone around each other, as Ransom wanted her for himself.

But rules were meant to be broken, friendships are not easily prevented.

She moved closer to him, he reached out and placed a hand on her shoulder, he tried not to look at her, tried not to see the changes done to her. But he couldn’t help it, he was a man after all, they tended to notice such things.

She saw his eyes go down and she looked away, she as in a plain white night gown but still, she could see those eyes. She crossed an arm over her chest and bit back a sob.

“Don’t look at me.” She whispered, “Remember me as that ten year old, not this. This isn’t me.” She whimpered out. He looked right into her blue eyes and reached a hand up placing it onto her cheek, before he wrapped the other around her and hugged her.

“I’m sorry Katera, your right. I promise I’ll remember you that way… your still that way to me. It’s going to be ok.” He whispered into her folded ear.

She sobbed as she clung to him. Gripping his robe as she cried like a scared kitten, trying to find comfort from someone who cared.

“I’m so fake now, when I look in the mirror, I see this woman who isn’t me. She’s colder… she hates me.” The Persian whimpered out.

“… Then tell her that you aren’t going anywhere, the fake always fade but the true hold forever. Your beautiful Katera, just the way you are. Believe me, I know.” He ran a hand through her golden hair and she sobbed a little more.

“Don’t forget the real me, Jiro.”

“I won’t. I promise.”


END CHAPTER


notes:

Gods: There is a temple for each god all over the land. Each god has a certian role to play just like they have a chosen race, usually the chosen races are very few as many have tried to remove them, to try and prove that the gods were false. Each god holds the true pokemon forms like in the games and anime and actually look like pokemon and not humanoid.

Lands: Being a lazy bum, instead of coming up with new names for the lands. I just used the names of the lands from the games, as while this is a alternate reality where man never came about, the lands still just happen to be called Kanto and Johto, which are the only two known contenents atm.

Character fact: Arrow likes shiny things, she will do almost ANYTHING for something shiny. It is just in her character as while she wasnt allowed much as a child, Ransom would give her shiny bits of metal when she was good, learning this as a sort of comfort and care by him, she decided she liked these bits and her lust for them grew.

o.o well it seems someone is reading this. As they made it five stars, weeeeird. HEY BUDDY :O *waves* How about a review instead? Oh well...

Oh great now I am getting star attacked. Gawds people I DON"T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE STARS. IF you being low because you have something against me, then hahahahahahahaha pathetic attack on me :p YOU PHAIL. If you can give me a REAL review then maybe I'll think. But using the stupid star system which has no affect on my writing what so ever to try and get me is funneh :x

Chapter Three:
The vanishing Latias, The ill Persian and the smitten Lugia


Rating: R for a near sex scene


The sun had set on the red lands of the lands of Kanto, the small village was quiet and a sort of calmness had fallen over it. Sitting out, a good hour walk from the village was an estate of most richness. The large main house was crafted and designed well to be worthy of a sultan. The courtyard was glorious with a garden of the loveliest plants.

Beyond this were fields of crops and livestock, servant quartos and slave huts. This was the estate of a rich Kanto lord, serving under the sultan. On the second floor of the main house was a window with a light, a shadowy form crossed the window and seemed to do so again, passing almost.

Upon closer expectation this form was a young humanoid pokemon; he was of Latios decent and was near the age of twenty five. While having the build of a man he had the markings of a Latios, the white skin and blue wings, a blue circle with a white center and ruby eyes. His ears twitched as his strange straight wings folded against his back. He wore slacks that fanned out as they went down his leg before tightening around his ankle, giving a baggy look. Over this he wore an open green robe with a darker green sash.


His arms were crossed as he looked at a younger version of himself, but a female with red and white instead of blue, she was smaller and nearly fourteen.

“Naoko…” he grumbled before sitting down beside her, “Your father’s only daughter, you know how he worries when you run off with out your body guards.” He mumbled as he tried to get his sister’s attention.

“He never worried before HE came to town, you know that, Luke.” She turned her gaze to his, hands on her lap as her red hair blew slightly in the wind. While she had red her elder brother had just a wad of white hair that was just overgrown fur on his head.

“All the more reason to stay close to home, you are a girl after all.” He implied as he matched her gaze.

“… Just because mother failed doesn’t mean I’ll run off just like her. I don’t have to be the ‘respectful noble woman.’ I have a brain.” She snapped crossing her arms and looking out the window once more.

“Don’t you DARE bring HER into this.” He nearly yelled startling his sister; the younger sibling cowered slightly at her brother’s outburst. He quickly turned his gaze away, the guilt plain.

“Why do you hate her? Isn’t that rather… foolish? So she didn’t love father anymore, big deal.” Naoko whispered, “Love is fickle.”

“That is why one should tame it, which is why women should not gain so much… power. They get the idea that they can just leave there faithful husbands. They get the idea that they can tell us what to do. We take care of you, we love you and protect you and how do you repay us? By treating us like idiots.” He replied harshly, “Real love isn’t fickle, it just… gets confused, and that is why it takes two to tame it.”

“Brother… I don’t want to be some man’s pet wife.” Naoko sighed, “I am a pokemon too, I have rights to go where I want and do what I want.”

“Even if it means hurting those who love you? Leaving a new born baby girl with an old man and his clueless sons? Running away from someone who gave their lives just to make sure you had a warm meal?” Luke’s eyes watered a little, he remembered waking up and being told mother wasn’t there. He remembered being told that his little sister was hungry and they needed to find a servant with an infant, remove the infant just so she could take care of Naoko.

And here Naoko was, being as careless and cruel as her mother had been.

“I-I… I just want the right to choose.” Naoko looked away, “Father married mother by a trade, it wasn’t love… it was a deal.”

“It doesn’t mean that he didn’t love her, and that she didn’t love him.” Luke reached out and placed a hand on Naoko’s shoulder, “Doesn’t mean she didn’t love us.”

“Shut up, Luke.” Naoko wiped her eyes, “Why do you always bring her up anyway?”

“You brought her up.” Luke chuckled as he pulled his younger sister against him in a one arm hug.

“… Whatever.” She mumbled. She looked away as he kissed her head, he had been apart of Naoko’s life ever since she was a little girl. More then their own father, as Roal had to deal with the estate and their older brother had joined the Royal Knights of Kanto.

“I’m just afraid…” Luke whispered to her.

“…That I’ll turn out just like her?” Naoko finished the sentence and pulled away, “Sometimes I understand why she did it, to break away from everything she was tied to, this place, dad… us… it can be like a cage at times.”

Luke frowned, “I don’t see how-“

“You’re a man and the second son; you’re not tied to this place like I am. I am the eldest daughter; I must remain here until I am married. I must act like royalty because that is how a woman of my status is supposed to act.”

Luke chuckled.

“What?” Naoko snapped.

“… You said you’re a woman.” He snorted a little. She glared at him before grabbing a pillow off the love seat and threw it at him.

“I am.” She growled at him as she grabbed another pillow.

“Your just fourteen.” He chuckled, “A real woman doesn’t run off when she has dut-” A pillow landed flat in his face, sending feathers everywhere and knocking him to the ground. Naoko laughed heavily as she batted away some feathers.

~*~

She heard the giggling, sitting among the large tree in the courtyard as a black figure, blinding into the shadows as her long neck peered through the trees into the room. She saw her target, but while she knew another was in the room it seemed he had vanished from view before she could see him.

She did not withdraw any blades, as this was not an assassination mission. She wished it was as she wasn’t as good at the others as the quick deaths. But Ransom wanted this one alive, and she would do as she was told.

He had a nice diamond for her if she succeeded. It was very shiny with a gold band that would fit around her wrist; it was originally designed to decorate a steed. But it would look good against her black feathers.

There, she saw the other one, the second oldest. She didn’t expect to see someone around her age, not nearly as tall as her but he was clean and well dressed, his neck was thin while his shoulders were broad, his dragon like head was charming and his eyes… shiny.

She took her eyes off her true target as she stared at the Latios with a strange intent, seeming to be seeing right through him as she studied his every detail, memorizing his features into her mind. She watched him move as he kissed the younger female on the head; a burning annoyance came into the assassin’s gut as she saw that.

She didn’t like the idea of him touching another female. She all ready had plans for THAT shiny, but first the mission. The little Latias looked back at the window and glanced up at the heavens. The assassin soon to be kidnapper watched as the little one cried a little, wiping the tears from her eyes. The hidden one in the tree felt no remorse at all; she didn’t really care why this one was crying, as long as she got ready for bed soon.

Finally, the noble little brat moved away from the window, the assassin made her move once the light went out.

The lights faded…

And the shadows began to move.

~*~

She lay her form down, onto the soft pillows that made her bed, she didn’t cover as the nights were always warm and Naoko always got to hot. She wore a simple white nightgown, which was thin and had sleeves that had been cut off, as Naoko didn’t like the long sleeved kind. Curled up on the bed she never noticed the form enter so easily through the large window.

A wind blew through, blowing the curtains softly and a few feathers flew up, causing the black Lugia to sniffle a little wishing to sneeze. She shook her head ridding herself of the tickle. She made her way towards the bed, reaching into her pouch attached to her belt she pulled out a small vial with a strange liquid within.

Moving to the side of the bed, she pushed away the veil around the bed, she watched the small girl as she mumbled in her near slumber. The assassin smiled a little, the innocent act was so… pathetic.

She had pulled out a rag from the same pouch and poured some of the bottles contents onto it before placing it away. She leaned down now to place it onto the girl’s nose when that tingle the feather returned.

‘No… no Arrow don’t… don’t…’ she thought but this time she couldn’t overpower it.

“ACHOO” the sneeze was loud and anything but graceful, and of course as expected for being so close to the sleeping Latias, her eyes snapped wide and the girl opened her mouth to let out a scream at the sight of the tiring Arrow but failed when the rag was slammed over her face with a hard force. The fumes entered the girl’s mind and in seconds she became light headed and her eyes rolled.

The now kidnapper picked up the girl and slung her over her shoulder. She turned towards the window and carefully made her way towards it. She all ready knew she had plenty of time to get out before the guards made there pass.

She froze remembering something and turned around and looking at the girl on her shoulder, picked off a bracelet around her wrist. While Arrow hated to part with a new shiny she knew she needed to leave something of hers behind. Holding the bracelet she took out the note from her bag and laying it on the bed she placed the bracelet on it.

Arrow chuckled a little before turning for the window once more…

Ransom was right, Roal had gotten sloppy.


~*~ Elsewhere, the next day~*~
(WARNING: SEXUAL CONTENT)






The light filtered into the large rich room. Against the wall near the large window was a large king size bed, with rich red covers and many pillows it was fit for a sultan. Many gold, silver, jewels and many other rare items, embers of a fire burned in a fireplace.

A form moved under the covers, slowly rising with a mouth open wide in a young. The mouth opened far wider then most humanoid pokemon could do. As the reptilian man blinked his sleepy eyes, his hood flattening a little, he glanced down at the still sleeping form next to him.

Moving the covers he got a better look at her, the Persian woman was out like a light, her body lying on the bed of pillows, bare and silky, her tail curled around her leg as her well toned form proved that all the money he spent on her was worth it.

Katera mumbled a little, hiding her head from the sunlight as Ransom had uncovered her. She lay on her belly so nothing was exposed truly, though both were very naked. He smiled a little, with pride. He bent down and kissed her head.

He placed his hand on hers, eyes the ring that was on her middle finger. It was a lovely ring, silver with a gold inscription. It was a ‘protection’ ring. It had been handled by the best healers and spells casters, another expensive item. It kept Katera from becoming pregnant, and she certainly would be again if he hadn’t given this too her.

He didn’t need another pregnancy accident.

Ransom grew tired of just watching her though, bending over he kissed her head again as he gripped her shoulder and slowly rolled her sleeping form over. With another kiss the Arbok man climbed on top of her. This woke her up and her blue eyes snapped open in surprise as she felt the weight.

“Master Ransom?” she whispered a little, showing that she was still pretty tired.

“Relax, little pet.” He whispered back, pushing her head down with his snaky lips against hers, she shut her eyes at once and relaxed, while she didn’t exactly what to do this again. She didn’t have much choice.

She gasped a little.

“Good girl.”

“M-master… I-I think I’m going too…” another gasp. Katera leaned forward against Ransom who was still trying to be intimate with her. But the Persian wasn’t feeling to well, suddenly she felt pressure travel up her throat and she released a mouth full of vomit on Ransom’s chest.






(END OF WARNING)

~*~

Ransom moved down the halls, followed closely by his slave, Katera. She clung to his hand as he allowed her to grip it like a child. She was having a side affect with the enchantment potions and it made her a bit dizzy. Least she had stopped throwing up, even if she had thrown up all over him while he was trying to have sex.

But he wasn’t mad, while she feared he would strike her it seemed he couldn’t exactly punish her for being ill from the very drugs he had her take. But the healers said that it would take a few days for her to grow use to them. Her body was immature in many ways, while she had hit her maturity she still wasn’t quite to the state of ‘womanhood’ as Ransom wanted. He was trying to cheat his way into having a stunning trophy.

So far it was back firing… but he could wait, for a little while longer.

“I-I… Master, forgive me.” Katera whispered as she placed a hand over her mouth to prevent her from vomiting. He glanced at her but ignored it as he entered her room and released her grasp, she stumbled to her bed and she tried not to give her a harsh look.

But it didn’t work. She sniffle a little, feeling dizzy and woozy and parts of her hurt. She lay down at once as she tried not to cry.

“I’ll send a servant in to tend to you.” Ransom then left. Finally allowing Katera to cry freely in her new found pain….

~*~

After he found a servant, Ransom was making his way towards his ‘office’ he was still in the mood though and was tempted to take it out on a slave girl. He ignored that feeling though as he knew he should see what papers needed tending too.

“Uncle.” Called a voice, Ransom sighed as he turned his gaze towards his Ekans nephew.

“Yes boy?” asked the lord as he entered his office, he paused as he saw Arrow standing in wait, with a young Latias girl sitting up before her, on the floor. Her arms tied and she was crying bitterly as her mouth was gagged.

“Um… Arrow’s back.” Jiro mumbled.

“I can see that.” Ransom snapped harshly. The captive took one look at Ransom and burst into more tears, showing she was terribly afraid. The Arbok humanoid made his way over to them ignoring Arrow’s hand out for her payment as he bent down and took off the gag.

”Why have you taken me?” she sobbed as she tried to hide her head. He grabbed her chin and sighed as he tilted her head left and right to get a better look. Making sure she wasn’t damaged.
“Lord O’dar! Answer me!” she pulled her head away, “This will cause a feud!”

“One I intend to win, my dear.” He said as he began to untie her.

“… What is that suppose to mean?” The noble Naoko whispered as she stood once her hands were free. She didn’t bolt, knowing she had no chance of escaping. Ransom took this chance to go over and get the diamond out of his drawer on the desk and handed it to Arrow, who took her chance to leave after a coo fest over the diamond.

“It means your father will pay dearly for you, child. And if he doesn’t, well, I know how much a pure blood Latias can sell for.” Ransom replied as he walked up beside her and placed a hand on her shoulder. “Jiro here will show you to your room. Be a good girl and I won’t have to punish you.”

Naoko sniffled as she looked up at him with great fear, before looking at the Ekans with a look of even more fear. Ransom motioned for her to walk and the little captive made her way over to Jiro who tried not to give a comforting smile. He reached his purple hand out and placed it on the girl’s shoulder. He led the noble child out of the room and Ransom spit to the side.

“I hate children.”

~*~

“Hey Arrow!” came a female voice as a green haired woman ran up beside the black Lugia. The woman stood a little over five feet tall. Her hair wasn’t really hair at all but what looked to be a sort of plant that spiked up, her face was cream while a green line zigzagged across her forehead.

She wore a skirt that wrapped around her and tied at one corner, which made it look more like a small sheet. Much of her green leg could be seen. A leave connected to her belly hung over the blanket as a piece of cloth wrapped around her chest, sleeveless and strapless. They both were red. She had small budding roses growing on the back of her wrists, showing she was of plant decent.

“Isis.” Arrow greeted the Roselia.

“I heard Ransom’s starting a feud with his old marauder partner Roal. You think that’s wise of him?” Isis asked as she walked beside the much taller slave, though Isis was no slave, she was a hired mage. Her buds were both black unlike most who were blue and red, it wasn’t a deformity either, when you’re a earth mage one learns how to change the color of an earth element…. Plant life.

“It is not for me to know.” Arrow replied simply, “If he wishes to get into a fight with one of the sultan’s lords. That is his decision. I just do the dirty work.”

“Yeah I noticed. I’ve only been with you lot for a few months. Ever since I married that pervert Tor… Do you enjoy what you do? Kill merchants and kidnapping children?” She asked, seeming completely serious and not trying to guilt trip the Lugia at all.

“It matters how big the pay is.” Arrow grinned at Isis, showing her many sharp teeth. The plant humanoid knew that not even she; a skilled earth mage could handle this creature.

“Why does he pay you anyway? You’re a slave.”

“Because I work better when I get something out of it.” She replied simply, “I know what I want for my next payment though, it’s a little different then my usually shinnies.”

“Oh?” Isis seemed curious.

“Yeah, I want the second son of Roal.”

“Ooooh, you want a man shiny.”

Arrow just grinned.




End chapter


~*~

Edit: Forgot my notes :O

Mages: While all humanoid pokemon have the some traces of there powers (attacks) only a small few have the ability to tone these. But they are limited to certian elements only. The list is complicated and has yet to be fully twicked.

Lords: Lords serve teh sultan, they are like a mini sultan they govern a certian area as the sultan can't see all. Not all pokemon who gain teh title of lord are serving the sultan though.

You know when ***holes downrate you, you know you're good. Unless you write like seven lines and call it a chapter, drama, sex or humor or something. Like several people we know Myuu :x

ANYWAYS

onto the review

You know even if we weren't friends, aside from the grammar/spelling errors here and there, I see nothing wrong with the fic. You have done everything tastefully. And I mean Everything. You hinted at the R without actually describing anything, and I find that really great Myuu.

You have kept Arrow, ie Akio, in character very, very well. From her love of shinies, to her personality from the RP she was last used in. So hats off to you. I also like the personalities of the other characters. And the death scene of the Parasect was also done.

I pity Luke though. Bet he's gonna wish he was never born a shiny male.

*hides her ArrowxLuke flag*

You also got her jealousy smack on the dot too :x

Anyways I'll be keeping an eye on this *subscribes* though dun have to when I know you'll throw me over here. Like I will do to you when my fic is updated.

~Yams

p.s. this might be biased but I think this is a beautiful fic :x just love how it's going so much

*waves* hello I did rate this fic and now I shall give a review, unfortunately I can't promise that it will be a good quality one.

First of all this has so far been a unique and interesting story and I haven't read a good one like it in quite awhile involving 'anthros', 'anthros' honestly never heard of the word before now.

You asked not to be rated on your grammar so I won't say anything about it.

You put together an unusual collection of characters so far from the power hungry serpent, to the shiny obsessed assassin and a living trophy. Things are getting interesting with Roal’s reaction and possibly more with arrow and her shiny man and I’m looking forward to seeing what happens to them in the next chapter.

Also chances are other’s are/have read this as closet readers as I normally read fics and may review this so please don’t get discouraged by lack of reviews.

Heres the next chapter. Since I am sure I have more cloest readers, I'd like to say you do me more harm then good. I'd rather have no readers then closet readers. Even if someone popped in every three chapters would be nice :p

Filler chapter.

Chapter Four:
Killing time...

A servant dashed down the halls of the noble’s estate, the shouts echoing about as he cried out. He slipped and slid across the freshly cleaned four, three Meowth servant girls, all around ten years of age giggle as they watched him slam into a wall, holding the rags that they used to wax. Their giggles stilled as the news he was shouting reached their eyes and they all scattered back to their rooms at once.

“What is that racket!” came a grumble as an Arcanine humanoid appeared, he was huge, standing around six five and looked fierce as Cerebus the three headed hell dog. His white main/hair was thick and intimating, two fangs stuck out from his mouth and they shined white, he was dressed in a red robe, adding to his all ready bright orange coat.

“… Sir Glyph!” the Wooper servant yelped, dropping to his knees at once. He had the odd shaped head of a Wooper with a slick blue body, his humanoid hands slimed a little, showing that he was still damp. Wet black hair flipped over his face though he could still see very well as his eyes were not exactly centered.

“What are you shouting so early in the morn.” Snapped the dog, looking annoyed. “Going to wake my pups.”

“Oh please, merciful Sir!” the servant begged, keeping his head down, “Loyal servant of master Roal!” he continued, getting an annoyed look from the right hand man.

“Out with it, boy.” The nearly as powerful as Roal man grumbled, his arms crossed and a sharp glare at the water pokemon.

“I-I went into the lady Naoko’s quarters and… and she’s been taken!” as if he truly cared for the girl, he burst into a fit of tears and sobs. The Arcanine got a look that was not anywhere but pleased.

“What.” He snapped now as he reached down and grabbed the servants head.

“I-I went to wake the lady as always. But she was nowhere to be found!” he responded bitterly.

“She probably just got up herself.” Glyph replied simply as he eyed the blue servant.

“Oh no! No, no, no! She never does that! She would sleep tell noon if not for me! She was gone… gone, gone…” He covered his face to hide it from the noblemen before finally pulling his hands down and pulling something out of the pouch he carried among his servant clothing. “This was left… on the bed.”

Glyph barely had to look; he saw the scroll with the bracelet wrapped around it. But what most missed was the small symbol of wax, it kept the scroll closed and had an imprint on it. An R, just that, a fat ugly R.
It wasn’t an uncommon symbol, but the only one in this area who had the power and riches to afford that rarity of wax was only one person. Snatching the scroll away and dropping the servant the Arcanine placed it in an inner pocket of his robe before reaching over and withdrawing a small sword.

The servant’s eyes grew wide and he fell to his knees, “I beg for forgiveness, please! I failed I know! I know I did wrong! Oh merciful Sir Glyph…” the servant gasped, coughing a little as a sputter of red escaped from his mouth and rained onto the floor. Slowly the Wooper sank down and his eyes faded.

“I am anything but merciful, slave.” He turned, “And the Rules State any slave that delivers a ransom note will be put to death.” He grinned a little, “It’s a fun rule.” He walked off, snapping at a servant who didn’t quite remain hidden to clean up the mess.

~*~

A very sunny room has being filled with an old man’s voice as Roal continued to speak, while eating breakfast, to his second son. The low table was decorated with all sorts of delicious breakfast items, from rare desert drake bacon to Buzzle bird eggs. Fruits off all kinds in bowls and a few simple salads also, it was a feast fit for a king, or at least a lord.

“I am just trying to say, boy, you need to pay more attention to your studies. Enoc is the knight and you will be the- are you listening to me?” the old green Latios grumbled.

The young man had his head turned out the window, looking into the courtyard as he watched some of the servant girl’s around his age tend to the garden. He may be a gentleman but he didn’t mind lady watching.

“… Luke.” Snapped the father.

“Hmm?” Luke didn’t turn away; he was watching the Butterfree servant as she fluttered her pretty wings.

“… I swear you were born deaf.”

Finally Luke looked over, giving his father an oblivious look. “Yes, father?” he asked like a naïve child.

Roal shook his head in a bit of shame, “You, boy, are going to be the deaf of me.”

Luke grinned, “I thought it was Naoko who was going to do that.” He joked as he got up and walked over, having a seat near his father and grabbing an apple to munch on.

“Speaking of which, I hear she ditched her bodyguards yesterday. You know that is why I want you to stay near her when she goes into town.” Roal scolded a bit as he eyed his son harshly. Luke didn’t match his father’s gaze, knowing better then that. The young Latios may be officially an adult, but he still knew when to listen to daddy.

“She slipped away when I was talking to Jade.” Luke mumbled out.

“Oh? Good! Well bad that she ran off but good your talking to your betrothed. I thought you two hated each other!” he laughed patting his son’s shoulder. Luke frowned bitterly a little before mumbling a ‘we do’

“Then why were you talking to her?” Roal’s laughter died as his annoyance returned.

“Because we know it’s not up to us. We have to figure something out, she’s not a bad person when she isn’t being shoved on you to be your mate.” A bit of venom rolled off his tongue as he spoke.

Roal gave his son a look, a warning that he was crossing to close to the line. Luke looked away and bit into his apple, trying to recover from his temper.

“I will not discuss this with you again, boy. Now where is that sister of yours?”

Luke shrugged, “Am I my sister’s keeper?”

“Yes.”

“Oh, right.”

Roal opened his mouth to say something else, when a plop was heard and the Latios looked down to see a certain scroll lying on his plate, Beside his bacon. Roal stared down at it for a good long while, before looking up to his most trusted man, Glyph.

Luke gave them both a funny look before reaching out to take the scroll, his hand was swatted sharply by his father before the older Latios snatched it up quickly and pulled the bracelet and clipped the tie off. The room remained dead silent as the Lord opened the scroll and began to read quickly, the longer it took the more his hands shook. Wrinkles that didn’t seem to be there at first appeared as his face grew angry, scared and even sad as he read. Before the anger returned and he slammed it down.

“I knew he was getting to nosy! Glyph, get a servant to fetch my copy of the peace contract, Luke, here.” He handed the scroll over to the boy, the Latios took it and blinked before opening it up and reading.

‘Dear Lord Roal of the east. It seems you have grown rusty, as I have easily taken a precious jewel of yours right out from under your nose. As I know you hate this kind of game, I will make my offer clear.

I want the hourglass, nothing more and nothing less.
As I am sure you are reading this by breakfast of the disappearance of your little jewel. You have until midnight of this night to send word that you have received this.

You should know by now age does not prevent me from allowing harm to your jewel. When I receive word, hopefully by someone of your blood, that you have received this,, the rest of the instructions will be given.

Also, I have acted just in my ways and have not broken our peace agreement, check the contract yourself.

Your dear friend,

R’



Luke blinked at the scroll before rolling it back up, he didn’t quite understand what it was implying but the feeling he got in his stomach was not a pleasant one. The younger Latios looked at his father, the odd colored older Latios had sunken into the pillow seat, his face grim and thinking, looking ill almost.

“… Father, I don’t understand. What did they take? A precious jewel?”

“Don’t be foolish, Luke, who is not here this morning?” The father snapped, gripping his fist tightly showing how truly angry he was. Luke looked around the room as if expecting someone to appear, and then he realized who wasn’t there.

“… Naoko.”

Roal nodded, Luke could see tears in his father’s eyes. The young Latios had never seen his father cried. He knew his father didn’t come from a clean history, being a marauder that had gotten away with the loot. Roal wasn’t one to keep his history hidden from his children. Even Enoc who wanting to bring honor to his family name became a knight.

“… I’ll go.” Luke whispered.

Roal looked at his second son, “No, I’ll send a servant.”

“Father, they want someone related to you to go tell them you got this. They have made their move, we must make ours.” Luke responded as he stood up, taking the scroll in hand. “We can’t risk Naoko.”

“For all we know she’s dead.” Roal responded with a sigh, “Ransom is a cruel man, crueler then I ever could have been. He isn’t one too play nice like this.”

“… Lord Ransom.” Whispered Luke before falling silent about the first thing his father said.
A pause in the air, as Roal had startled Luke with his statement of death. The silence followed before Glyph walked into the room, a servant carrying a parchment. The lord turned and snatched it away from the girl and unrolled it. Sitting down he swung his hand across the table knocking the objects off as he flattened the contract out and began to read.

Luke bit his lip as he stood behind his father, watching and waiting to see what the older man would say. Glyph seemed perfectly calm, though his eyes seemed a bit wry.

“… Damnit.” Whispered the lord, “… He is right, right out from under me. He waited for my guard to drop, waited for me to grow old and feeble.” He tightened his fists and glared at the contract like it had betrayed him. “Waited for me to be handicapped and he hit like a wave of sand in a desert storm.” Standing and rolling the paper up he looked around and realized something.

“Where is Luke?” Roal asked in a cracking voice.

Glyph sighed, “What do you think, Lord Roal?”

“… Foolish boy. I will not lose two children today. Fetch him and send a servant in his place.”

“Yes sir.”

~Later that day~

It was later morn, the sun was higher in the sky and the heat was rising slowly. The garden behind the mansion of Ransom O’dar’s estate was pleasant with the buzz of bees and butterflies.

A certain woman had sneaked away from the servant that was tending to her and had sat herself down under a large tree in the garden. She placed her hands on her morning dress, her knees crossed as she leaned her back against the tree.

Katera relaxed feeling a bit better, she was still a little light headed but otherwise the sickness had passed. Now she was trying to steal some quiet time before Ransom came looking for her. She glanced at the bands around her wrists; sometimes she was chained to her bedpost when she was younger, she wondered now if she could ever get them removed.

The feline pokemon froze as she heard movement. Looking up and turning her head towards the housing she saw a large black figure exit the marble patio. She walked towards her, now about five feet away the figure sat before laying down on her back, fanning her arms out and leaning her head back, she let out a deep sigh before shutting her yellow eyes.

Katera giggled a little as she watched Arrow begin to soak in the morning sun before it grew to hot. Arrow was an odd shade for a Lugia, being black instead of white. The desert heat affected her greatly and it took her many years to develop good stamina against it.

Arrow cracked her eye open and eyed Katera, which quieted the Persian quickly. A second later and Arrow closed her eyes again and took in a deep breath as if to speak but instead she remained quiet.

“… I heard you were the one to do the kidnapping.” Katera spoke, attempting small talk.

“I always do Ransom’s dirty work.” Replied Arrow with no real spite.

“Oh of course, forgive me.” Katera mumbled out feeling a bit foolish.

“Nothing to fret about, just common knowledge, Kat.” Arrow said, addressing the servant by her nickname, they were not strangers. Arrow had known Katera to an extent ever since she was bought from the breeder at the age of seven. Arrow was sixteen then. She had done some babysitting, not by choice truly as Ransom had paid so much for the child that he didn’t have many servants on hand.

“I saw her looking out of the guest room window, she looks very young.” Katera continued, glancing up at the window with curiosity.

“Just a few years younger then you.” Arrow mumbled her eyes closed again as she tried to soak up some sun. The Persain let out a small ‘oh’ as she looked back at the Lugia before looking down at her hands.

As the silence fell, a certain Ekans looked out into the garden from a window and watched as the pleasure slave sat near the assassin slave. Both owned by the same man and both adapted to the lives they led. Jiro frowned, as he wanted to go and speak to the feline woman. But he wasn’t truly suppose to go near her and with Arrow around he didn’t want to risk it. Though he and Arrow were trained to gather in the art of dagger throwing.

He trusted Arrow, just not enough to go out there.

~*~

“You are such a…” grumbled Tor as a certain plant woman giggled rather cruelly. She was sitting upon him, after chasing him down. She caught him wooing a servant girl and she wasn’t very happy.

“I don’t like cheating men, Tor.” Isis replied, the vines of her plant powers broken through the ground in a courtyard and wrapping around his waist. “It makes me sad.” She frowned giving him a lip as he glared at her.
“Like I care what YOU think.” He snapped at her, struggled to get her off his back. She ran her hand over his snaky head, her roses budding a little.

“Well, you did agree to marry me.” She replied with a sweet voice.

“… After you got me drunk.” He retorted spitefully. Isis rolled her eyes as she kissed the top of the point on her husband’s head.

“No reason to be unfaithful.” She replied as she wrapped her hands around his neck and he just fumed underneath her.

“I do what I want, female.” He grumbled out as she placed her head next to his, laying on him nearly. He eyed her as her hazel eyes blinked.

“Uh huh, and yet you never complain about the sex.” She replied simply as she leaned her cheek against his scaly face.

“So you’re a good lay, big deal.” He replied, but the spite was leaving and he as getting more interested in exactly what Isis was thinking about. As if she knew exactly what he was thinking, she allowed the vines around his waist to free him and he jerked knocking her unto the ground and with a snake like quickness had rolled his black hide on top of her.

“You could just ask.” He grinned, she rolled her eyes a little, and she didn’t want to ask for it. She wanted him to want her, but of course he was too cocky to admit he did. The serpent leaned his head down, his red fangs glazing her neck as his forked tongue slipped out and nipped at the side of her face. She giggled a little, both of them ignoring the fact they were in a courtyard, as most servants had made themselves scarce.

Tor reached his hand down placing it between her legs and as he did this she leaned her head up and nipped at his snake mouth, kissing it gently. She knew she had him, Tor never turned down a chance to play around.

Her frail hands reached up and began to undue his robe, pulling the sash off she opened it slowly and ran a hand down his chest, he had the same purple markings of the Seviper he was. He hissed with amusement and passion before leaning his head down again and she kissed it, while one hand remained on her shoulder another slipped up her shirt.

She was now dealing with his pants, pulling off the second sash they fell limp and she pushed the cloth away. He was hissing with impatience now, she was taking to long. He grabbed at her skirt, wanting to lift it but she placed a hand on his to stop him.

“Do you want this?” she asked him, her voice dripping with honey.

“Does the sun rise in the morning?” he replied, his mood filled with the want and passion that was to come.
“Then…” she placed her hands on his shoulders, “Earn it.” she brought her knees up and with more strength then one would guess she would have… sent the Seviper off her and tripping back. Falling over his own tail until he finally hit a bench and fell over it, his pants still down and his feet in the air, Tor cursed loudly.

Isis was on her feet and slapping her hands together as if they had dust on them. She did not seem amused as she straightened her skirt. A group of servants who were coming out to tend to the plants in the courtyard froze as they saw the scene, the girls burst into giggles as they saw Tor’s exposure before turning red in embarrassment and retreating.

“Cheat on me again, Tor, and you won’t be getting laid for a very long time. From me or any other female.” Isis turned and made off, not wanting to deal with the angry Seviper any longer.


End chapter


notes: I don't got much.

Lands: The pokemon havn't traveled far from Kanto and Johto, as while ships and ports are around, there is strangely a great fear of the sea, perhaps it has to do with the large monsters that live out there. Or the fact that since the water pokemon are degraded and are in ways 'not real pokemon' and often used as slaves. The water nation (Think like Atlantas) doesn't allow ships to come out very far.

The Shrine of Time: The shrine is to the god, celebi, who is not only the weaver of time but is also the balance between realities... it is unknown if this perhaps is the same god as teh celebi in the human world, as legends say that he is apart of two worlds

Humans: There are legends of a powerless race, weak and feble that has to take power to be power. They are believed to be myths and no true picture of one has ever been seen. Strangly though, some pokemon have strange fitishes and fantasies about humans...

Note: what? I've known people to be fitish about poke morphs, why not the other way around?

Always watching...
The huge amount of closet readers not posting are probably because they are intimidated by your first post, or just underaged readers!

Tastefully done indeed. This fic somehow reminds me of the situation in the middle east around 650 years ago. Desert, slaves, lords and sultans really do fit my mental image of that time and place.

You've got a really good plot moving here, amplified by the marvellous personalities of the characters in it. Although, it is a little difficult to mentally visualize how they look like based on words alone. if they are any pictures at your Deviantart section, I would gladly appreciate it! :)

No comment on grammar, but I will gladly proofread future chapters through pm. Exams are over, and I'm free for a month!

Some parts I really like:
“… pet.” He hissed.

She froze a second, not sure if she heard him speak or just hiss. “What was that bug?” her eyes narrowed.

“Pet.” He said bolder, his white eyes looking at her, they he was looking at everything. “Slave, drone, you do everything he says don’t you? Does he fool around with you and you get dominated like a weak drake? Little pet has to be a good slave for her master….” His face had changed, it had become more cruel and determined, amused almost. But a scream followed and the image faded, the young merchant was once more on his face sobbing as two daggers were plunged into his fungus, he wouldn’t last much longer.
Words sure to cause death, normally unspeakable yet so approapriate in his situation!

A second later and the seviper blinked his blank look fading. “… Oh damn your gonna tell Isis on me. That woman all ready has me on a tight leash.”
Uh oh!

Splat.

“What the…” Ransom gasped as the latios man nearly fell out of his seat in surprise. Sitting right in front of Ransom, nearly knocking his tea over was the head of the parasect merchant, the all ready white eyes long dead and dry. It was no longer bleeding but the blood stains on its neck and face were evident.
And I thought an ex-marauder would be have a stronger gut!

“M-master… I-I think I’m going too…” another gasp. Katera leaned forward against Ransom who was still trying to be intimate with her. But the Persian wasn’t feeling to well, suddenly she felt pressure travel up her throat and she released a mouth full of vomit on Ransom’s chest.
XDDDD That has got to be the worst time to throw up ever! Luckily she didn't do it when she was kissed...

“Cheat on me again, Tor, and you won’t be getting laid for a very long time. From me or any other female.” Isis turned and made off, not wanting to deal with the angry Seviper any longer.
Yep, tight leash indeed!

Keep up the great work! I'll be following it!

whoa my subscribe to this didn't update the review. I was all ... hmm should I bump by writing chapter five... then boom :eek: you made me do the happy dance.

I am glad that everyone is respecting my wishes about grammar and spelling. They are welcomed to do all they wish with my other fics. This fic is a fun for me fic (and I do spell check) where its starting out very simple and slowly evolving into a deeper plot. Its an experiment and is not meant to be a serious writing, though I do try to make sure it is presentible.

Believe it or not, I had no real plot, just characters and history.

But with well devolped characters, plot tends to evolve on its own.

I do have pictures, as I know it is very hard to get what they look like. I did doodle some here and there, perhaps I'll start some character profiles.

This comp scans funny @.@ sorry.

and this next one is somewhat a silly/spoiler...


[spoil]its called AkioLuke because orginally, Arrow was named Akio. But the name was changed do to that the character is not 100% mine.

Well that was an interesting chapter, and this explains the reading of that contract in the prior chapter. I really should have caught on that and I will keep an eye out for any other hints at future events. which makes me wonder what this hourglass Ransom wants is about.

Glyph seems bloodthirsty and I'm sure he will appear again next chapter, which makes me wonder who will send the message back to Ransom, I wonder if Luke goes to deliver the message will he get taken by arrow before the message is delivered.

So the snake and the rose are a couple should be interesting with the current situation.

Anyways, although I afraid to say I can't guarantee a quality review, I can guarantee that will review each chapter as they come out, looking forward to next chapter.

I was looking for something to read today, and here I come across something of yours that I hadn't read yet, and several chapters of it! So, of course, I immediately had to check it out, and once I started reading this I couldn't stop. I just love the setting of the story; it's a very immersive world and different from any other setting I've read about.

And the characters - I just love them. Ransom is just cool as hell. It's interesting - he's definitely a cruel, wicked person, and he has a nasty way of objectifying women....yet there's something about him that I find strangely sexy. o_o Maybe it's the great presence he has as a character; maybe it's a matter of his snakiness *loves snakes ^^*; hard to say, but he definitely has something compelling about him. Arrow is a very enjoyable character to read about, especially in her acts of torture and her fondness for shiny, pretty things; kudos to Yami Ryu for coming up with her. ^^ I also really like Tor and Isis and the way they interact - the scene at the end of Chapter 4 was just priceless. XD

Other favorite moments:

He needed got get back on topic…

Splat.

“What the…” Ransom gasped as the latios man nearly fell out of his seat in surprise. Sitting right in front of Ransom, nearly knocking his tea over was the head of the parasect merchant, the all ready white eyes long dead and dry. It was no longer bleeding but the blood stains on its neck and face were evident.

Wow. o_o That was a cool image.

Luke chuckled.

“What?” Naoko snapped.

“… You said you’re a woman.” He snorted a little. She glared at him before grabbing a pillow off the love seat and threw it at him.

“I am.” She growled at him as she grabbed another pillow.

“Your just fourteen.” He chuckled, “A real woman doesn’t run off when she has dut-” A pillow landed flat in his face, sending feathers everywhere and knocking him to the ground. Naoko laughed heavily as she batted away some feathers.

XD I love pillow fights.

The lights faded…

And the shadows began to move.

That's just a cool piece of text, there. Great choice of words.



Oh, one more thing I really like is the particular species of many of the characters; the Pokémon-humanoids with serpentlike features, dragonlike features, or birdlike features are my favorites when it comes to their physical design. I liked the character pictures that were included; Arrow in particular looks great.

I found myself hooked to this story instantly, and I'll definitely be here for any and all future chapters of it. ^^

Chapter five:
Dangerous Spark, Do Not Touch and My Shiny Man and Me

Rated: PG-13 for some fluff and attack and such


~Noon~

The sun was now high and the heat too much for Arrow. The black Lugia had retreated inside to cool off before she would go to market, as she hadn’t gotten the chance to get food in her. She left the slave girl, Katera, to sit out under the tree, while the heat was growing still Katera did not mind.

She didn’t get to go outside often.

The young woman glanced up at the tree, and a childish grin crossed her face before she stood. Her Persian ears twitching as she looked around, she grabbed at her morning dress and pulled it up and bringing it about knee length she tied it so that it would not drop down. Looking around as if she was about to commit some horrible crime, she reached up and grabbed a tree branch.

Showing her feline instincts, she easily pulled herself up, her cat like claws digging into the tree before she was up onto the very branch she had grabbed. Adjusting herself she glanced around again as she sat. Her ears lifted as for the first time in a very long time, she could see over the wall around the garden. It faced the fields that Lord Ransom owned, they were thriving as always as Ransom did well to make sure that they were watered regular. Even in the desert certain men knew how to grow things, having an earth mage helped.

Now it wasn’t a horrible thing that she was up here, but she knew Ransom would not want her to fall and damage herself. She was an expensive trophy and any damage she caused to herself would cost him greatly. It was hard being a living possession.

She looked at the field, trying to catch every detail. Trying to remember exactly what her world looked like outside this wall. She would often tell herself it wasn’t as great as she imagined. That her life here was good… but boy did it look fun to run through that field.

“Day dreaming, little Kat?” A male voice spoke; she glanced down at once a bit startled. But her fear ended when she saw it was the young Ekans, Jiro. He was wearing a gray robe today, closed this time and tied with a soft blue sash. His light purple head looked up at her with a smile. She gave him a weak smile back.

“A little.” She glanced around, making sure no servants were around. She knew how much trouble they could get in.

The serpent reached up and grabbed her tell, tugging slightly as if it was a doorbell. He grinned wildly as she giggled. He spoke; “Can I come up?”

“If you like.” She responded, scooting over a little. The Ekans easily scaled the tree, his rattle tail twitching as he sat down beside the feline pokemon. He’s snake like head looked at her before the purple head turned towards the fields over the wall. He smiled a little as he saw some slave children taking the chance away from the workers to play in the field.

“You know” Katera said, “I haven’t been outside these walls since I was seven years old.”

Jiro shrugged a little, glancing at the Persian. “You’re not missing much. It’s a dangerous world out there, thugs, thieves, dirt bags and swindlers…”

“And marauders?” Katera added and Jiro fell silent, looking away from her as he stared off once more at the field. The young woman sighed as she glanced out as well in thought before glancing back at him.

“Why do you risk it?” she finally asked.

“Risk what?” the Ekans responded, matching her gaze.

“Talking to me.” She corrected as she couldn’t keep match with his dark gold eyes and had to turn away, looking at some flowers down below. He sighed a little before a small smirk graced his features.

“I’ve known you ever since I was fourteen, I am not about to allow our friendship end because my uncle is possessive. He owns your flesh, not your soul Kat, he can’t own that.” He nodded, sure of that himself.

Katera glanced at him, biting her lip a little. She never thought of that, it was a sort of freedom. Ransom wasn’t cruel to her anymore. Though she did not enjoy most of the attention she got from the serpent. Her soul wasn’t broken, and as long as that was true she would be ok.

“… Thanks.” She whispered feeling nervous now. “I should head back inside though, it’s getting hot.” Before she could move or say anything more, Jiro had hopped down from the tree, standing and looking up he held his arms up to her.

Katera blinked a second before realizing that he was offering her something. She gave a weak smile before it turned into a strong grin and she let herself fall. Jiro easily caught her but not being as strong as he expected lost his balance and fell back.

He fell straight onto his back, Katera now on top of him and giggling like mad at the fall. She stopped long enough to look at Jiro and he chuckled looking up at her. Realizing both were all right they laughed a little. Before Katera went to get up and their noses touched.

A second later and Jiro reached his hand up and touched her cheek gently, she stared at him in a bit of surprise at this action but did not know if she should move or not.

“They say the eyes are a window to the soul… what a beautiful soul, Kat.” At those words, she was up onto her feet. He knew he had startled her and yet he had even startled himself. She took a few steps away and shook her head in a no.

“I’m… sorry.” She whispered and then was off out of sight back inside.

~ One hour after Noon ~

The day was reaching the hottest it would get. A certain black Lugia had her mouth open a little, as it was hot and she did not like the heat at all. Her head hung a little and her hair pulled back, Arrow made her way down a servant hall. She was going to her room to fetch some not so shiny, shiny. She wanted to go to market and get something to eat; she had missed breakfast and didn’t feel like bugging stupid servants to get her food.


The black Lugia sighed a little, still plotting exactly how she will get her shiny man when she heard a small ‘eek’ come from one of the servant rooms before being followed by an annoyed hiss. Arrow raised an eyebrow at this sound and made a face.

‘… Great the servants are breeding again.’ She thought as she went to pass on by.

She paused as she heard a voice cry out and a small yelp for help before muffling followed. An annoyed ‘Shut up’ came next and some tussling sounds. Arrow grumbled turning her head towards the door, she knew if this was a servant that they were worth money and Ransom only wanted the most expensive servants.

The black Lugia decided to do something about it and turned opening the door and paused only a second to take the scene in.

It seemed Tor the Seviper didn’t like not getting some from Isis, as he was holding the wrists of the captive Lady Naoko up into the air with his large hand, his other had ripped the sleeve of her night gown and his hand going into the dress. The young girl cried bitterly not understanding why he was doing this.

Now Arrow knew Ransom did not want his servants harmed beyond repair. She knew for sure that Tor was not supposed to be touching this child. Tor just noticed Arrow’s presence when it was to late, she had lunged forward with quick speed and had snatched up the Seviper into her strong arms, at once sinking her teeth into his shoulder.

He cried out in pain, letting the Latias go and trying to escape. Naoko whimpered pulling away from Arrow and her attacker and scooting into a corner, she covered her chest with her arms as she just sobbed in fear.

“You can’t kill me.” Tor hissed between his attempts at escape. “I am Lord Ransom’s right hand man. He said you can’t!”

“He said nothing about harming.” She seethed as she brought her head up and rearing it around to look at him. He gulped a little, his forked tongue flickering.

“Isis wont like that.” He tried to find another excuse for the Lugia to release him.

“Nor would she like the unfaithfulness you were about to commit.” Arrow snapped right back as she gripped him harder, taking amusement in his pain. Tor’s eyes grew wide at the fact she was right. He didn’t need her after him again, he knew the threat he left him and Ransom would not protect him from her… he was on his own.

“If you release me I won’t do this again.” He replied, relenting at last.

“No, if I release you, you wont go near her again.” The assassin snapped, “Or,” she released one hand and moved it quickly down to the serpent’s lower area, gripping the crotch tightly Tor winced madly at the pressure.

“I will remove these, as they seem to cause trouble.”

Tor’s eyes were wide with pain and fear, as he had never had a threat this… severe before. He was starting to think perhaps staying on Isis’s good side might be a good idea, she was more fun when she was mad. All Tor could do was nod in response, the assassin released him from her grasp and he fled quickly.

Bumping into the wall on his way out.

Arrow rolled her eyes before turning her gaze to the crying girl, shrugged it off and turned heading for the door.

A small “Thank you.” Was whispered from Naoko.

“Whatever.” Was all Arrow responded with, then she left.


~Two in the afternoon~



The market was a busy, busy place, with the hustle and bustle of Pokemon humanoids ranging from the small oddish children dashing up the street to the large Gyarados arguing with a Snorlax. Stands were set up all down the main street of the small village, busy with visitors and every day appearances.

Walking around in the shade behind the stands was a certain Latios humanoid was munching on a packet of sweet rocks as they were called. He was making his way towards the mansion of Lord Ransom when he had realized he hadn’t finished breakfast. Luke knew he needed to relax a bit, he couldn’t go charging into the Lord’s home demanding his sister or anything just take it one step at a time…

He had to be careful; his sister’s life was on the line. He really had to think about it, plan it all out.

A shout echoed out among the market, a bustle and more shouts and the Latios looked over his shoulder a bit puzzled as to what was happening.

“Master Luke!” A shout echoed and the Latios didn’t need anything more. He bolted at once, Luke knew full well it was a servant and if a servant was sent way out here after him, then there was defiantly more and probably Glyph. He wasn’t going back, he had to hurry now.

“BOY!” Glyph’s voice roared “GET BACK HERE BOY!” it came as the Arcanine jumped over a fruit cart and bolted after the Latios. Pokemon quickly scattered out of the way as the Luke dropped his sweet rocks and sprinted, knowing full well that the older pokemon was faster then him. The Arcanine bellowed for the commoners to get out of his way.

As the red dog pokemon went after the young Latios, two servants slowed to a halt trying to catch their breath.

“Let Sir Glyph get him?” Said one.

“Yeah… Ooh sweet rocks!” Replied the other.




Luke bolted down an ally here, turned up a street there, and zigzagged down a lane somewhere else. Doing anything he could to lose his father’s right hand man. But it wasn’t working. The old dog wasn’t about to let himself lose his prey and kept right on Luke’s tail. Glyph continued to bark at the Latios, telling him to halt and all other sorts of orders, a few cusses slipping in.

The Latios turned down an ally and then back onto the main street, just out of grabbing of the Arcanine when the boy turned into a crowd. He ducked and twisted, trying to get as deep into the crowd as he could. Glyph lost sight of the boy once or twice before gaining close to him once more…

Then he vanished it seemed. Looking around the Arcanine backed up into a taller woman, big boned and dark black feathers coating her body, she grumbled as she bit into her meat log, annoyed at being bumped into.

“Er, excuse me ma’am.” Glyph said with forced politeness, he eyed the woman a second before glancing around the crowd, “Have you seen a Latios? In his twenties, kind of scrawny?” He asked, the woman just glared at him like she would eat him if she could before replying.

“No.” she mumbled her mouth was a bit full. Glyph raised an eyebrow at her and looked her up and down, receiving an even harsher look from her.

“Do I know you?” He asked now, he was for sure he had seen this woman before.

“No.” she replied and the look she gave him told him to move on. He had a boy to find anyway, slowly he moved away and vanished into the crowd.

A white and blue boy looked around the tall black feathered woman, he was panting harshly and was attempting to glare, and “I am not scrawny.” He snapped before looking up at the woman.

“Thanks a lot.” Luke said.

The Lugia grinned amused, swallowed her meat and replied “No problem.”

With out a chance respond, Arrow had picked up the Latios, he squeaked rather loudly earning some looks. Arrow glanced around and grinned before placing Luke over her shoulder and heading off, looking at the scroll she had picked off his body.

“So you gonna play messenger for Lord Ransom?” She grinned, “This should be fun.”

“Wha… Ack!” Luke gasped in confusion; he hadn’t expected his butt to get pinched.


~*~

Lord Ransom tied his robe, leaving a sleeping Katera in his bedroom as he had been given a report that someone wanted to meet with him. He guessed it was Lord Roal’s servant coming with the scroll and while the Arbok didn’t like being interrupted he made his way to the meeting room.

The serpent pokemon made his way to the windowless room and entered it, causing a certain startled Latios to stand out of respect and was ignoring the black Lugia who was standing in a far corner, watching Luke like a hawk.

Ransom paused at the doorway, not really sure how to respond at first before smirking.

“I didn’t think Roal would send one of his children to me.” He chuckled as he now moved for his main seat. He motioned for Luke to sit, in which he did. Two bodyguards had stepped into the room, watching Luke as well to make sure no funny business went down.

“If I may say, it wasn’t planned.” Luke replied, he decided the best way to deal with this was to do as the Lord said, as he wanted his little sister back in one piece. “I brought this.” He sat the scroll on the table; Ransom had just sat down and held his hand out. Luke handed it over.

“Scroll received, your sister is spared any pain until the next full moon… So you came here on your own accord this?” Ransom would have raised an eyebrow if he had one. He didn’t bother to open the scroll; he knew what was in it.

The Latios nodded in reply, before glancing around; he was nervous and had easily made many mistakes that could easily cost him his life. Arrow was grinning like the cat that had got the cream by now. She knew just what Ransom would do, she knew that her shiny man would soon be hers.

Ransom stood, “Then you are not bound to your father’s protection, you have no power here nor can I be blamed for your foolishness. Kill him and send his head back to his father.”

Luke being the rather… foolish boy he was… nearly fell out of his chair. But he had somehow found his feet. His mouth gaped he stuttered for words to say, but the chill ran down his back as he realized his fault, he had thought he thought over everything…

He forgot by coming her in his name alone, it bore no power or protection, he was nothing more then a child walking into a den of drakes.

“There… there has to be some sort of deal we can make!” Luke gasped noticing the bodyguards coming over.

“You have nothing to make a deal with, boy.” Ransom grinned, “You must be the stupid one, I do loath children. There is always one out of the litter that just is a fool from birth.”

It took all Arrow had to not stand up for her chosen shiny. She knew that she had to play her cards right to get what she wanted.

“Hey!” Luke was rather offended, but remembering his situation he spoke up, “You can have to hostages then? Allow me to wait with my sister!” He hated being reduced to begging.

“I only need one hostage, your sister is still under your father’s name. As she made no choice to come here but was forced too.” Ransom waved his hand for the bodyguards to hurry. Luke had all ready been grabbed by now, the two Machoke guards forced the boy down laying his chest and face down on the table. He winced and tears stun his eyes as one of the guards drew a very dangerous looking blade.

“Lord! For my sister’s sake! I’ll do anything!” Luke begged. His eyes shut tight as the blade was being risen above his head. The Machoke’s seemed unfazed about the slaughter they were about to commit.

Just as the bodyguards that were about to separate the Latios’ head from his body a voice spoke up that caught Ransom by surprise.

“Master.” Arrow called out, Ransom paused a second before rising his hand for the guards to stop. Luke opened his eyes long enough to look over at what he could see of the black Lugia, as she blended very well into the shadows. “I have a suggestion.” With that she walked over, her master waiting patiently as she bent down and began to whisper to him.

Lord Ransom made a rather annoyed face before it faded and a chuckle of amusement followed. “You are a clever creature, Arrow, I give you that.” He said, “But even if I do this, I will kill him if you annoy me with something like this again.”

The Arbok waved his arms, the Machoke bodyguards backed off, and releasing the Latios whom at once rubbed at his neck as if it had been cut off and placed back on. A second later or more he felt his arm grabbed and a jerk before he was being nearly dragged out of the room. Luke being rather fazed by the incident and showing signs he had been far to shelter in his childhood he glanced at the one who was dragging him.

“… You saved me?” He whispered his voice a bit horse from the whole ordeal.

Arrow glanced at him and smiled, “You said you would do anything, you are a hostage now. But under my control, meaning if I want, I can make demands from your father.”

Luke blinked a bit puzzled at that, he didn’t understand why Ransom would rather give him to this woman if he had rather killed him and why this woman wanted him. Though he did recall the butt pinch.

“… So I will be released with my sister?” He asked.

Arrow chuckled, “You gave up all rights the moment you came in here not under your father’s name.” She pulled him closer and nuzzled his head, “You, my shiny man, are my payment.”

“For kidnapping your sister.” It was half-true, as she had all ready been paid for that. But then again, this was a better payment then that anyway, Ransom just found it amusing that Arrow had become smitten on such a pathetic creature as Luke… and it was another way to keep her under his thumb. If she turned on Ransom, Ransom would just threaten her new pet’s life.

Of course Arrow hadn’t thought that far, she was a bit busy with her new shiny.

Luke of course, felt as if he was about to throw up.

Well that was a fun chapter to read, nice touching scene with Jiro and Katerato start, I wonder what's going on with Jiro's reaction when Katera mentioned mauraders.

I see Arrow's got her shiny man, should be interesting to see what she does with him. I wonder what Roal is going to do now that ransom has two of his children, also I wonder if Glyph really has meet Arrow before.

Also should be fun to see how Tor will act around Arrow now after the threat, lots of questions that require answers, you have got me guessing about what will happen next in this fic and I'm looking forward to next chapter.

... *waves her SikexRansom flag* :O PERRREFECT PAIRING. YES I SHALL NOW WRITE LEMONS AB-

…what’s bad is that I would so probably read that. XP I CAN’T HELP IT! Ransom is just too cool…honestly, I would probably read about him doing just about anything. XD

…Anyway, before I severely incriminate myself XD …let us move on with the highlights of the last chapter…

It was hard being a living possession.

I really like that line. It really sums up Katera quite effectively. ;-;

“I’ve known you ever since I was fourteen, I am not about to allow our friendship end because my uncle is possessive. He owns your flesh, not your soul Kat, he can’t own that.” He nodded, sure of that himself.

Awww… ;-; That is both very cute and very quotable.

“You can’t kill me.” Tor hissed between his attempts at escape. “I am Lord Ransom’s right hand man. He said you can’t!”

“He said nothing about harming.” She seethed as she brought her head up and rearing it around to look at him. He gulped a little, his forked tongue flickering.

“Isis wont like that.” He tried to find another excuse for the Lugia to release him.

“Nor would she like the unfaithfulness you were about to commit.”

Ooh, she sure told you, Tor! XD I just love that section of dialogue there. ^^

“No, if I release you, you wont go near her again.” The assassin snapped, “Or,” she released one hand and moved it quickly down to the serpent’s lower area, gripping the crotch tightly Tor winced madly at the pressure.

“I will remove these, as they seem to cause trouble.”

And again I say, ARROW PWNS.

All Tor could do was nod in response, the assassin released him from her grasp and he fled quickly.

Bumping into the wall on his way out.

XDDDDDD

Tor: *scramble for safety* *bonk!*

I love that.

As the red dog pokemon went after the young Latios, two servants slowed to a halt trying to catch their breath.

“Let Sir Glyph get him?” Said one.

“Yeah… Ooh sweet rocks!” Replied the other.

Lol! Oh, man…that reminded me of that episode of Family Guy where James Woods kept going, “Ooh, a piece of candy!” XD

“So you gonna play messenger for Lord Ransom?” She grinned, “This should be fun.”

“Wha… Ack!” Luke gasped in confusion; he hadn’t expected his butt to get pinched.

…XDDDDD


Arrow was definitely the star of that chapter. I just loved the way she dealt with Tor, and the way she dealt with Luke as well - there is no defense for his booty from Arrow's ruthless pinching! XD Also great was the scene between Jiro and Katera - awwww. That was just so sweet. I love the way those two interact. ^^

I actually have some more pics to scan to put in the profiles. But I'm being lazy, I am soo tempted to just put pics of the pokemon XD


Tyrant99: Yes lotsa questions. Hopefully my plot as it is being written as I go (There is no solid plotline to this story) wont get full of plotholes. Though Glyph has seen a lugia before, it might have been Arrow... might not. Course it may not play into the plot at all. Its really a touch and go thing.



Sike: You do know, the Ransom in my head puffed up with pride when you called him sexy and was all 'Yes. Yes I am.' and well, o_O he's creeping me out. Thanks alot.

I'm glad you are noticing the bit between Jiro and Katera, as I am VERY fond of Katera and Jiro's plotbunnies (Ideas for plot) and I hope I can use them. I would love to focus on Katera more then Arrow even, but being Yami's character for a long time, we learned that Arrow (A.k.A Akio) is an attention hog and there is little either of us can do about it.

:p My fav scene out of the chapter has to be Jiro and Kat's scene, while I do so enjoy the servants part in it. We are nearing the end of part one of my ideas. Meaning once we reach a good cliffy (Like always) Part two of the who knows how many parts will start.

I have more pics I'd like to show, but I really don't know if I could as they are spoilers... ok not really.

This picture will probably have NOTHING to do with the plot, I just wanted to show you all how possessive Arrow is (She learned from the best *pokes Ransom*: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y253/LollyMyuu/AkioLuke01.jpg

Chapter Six: Tying up Lose ends

Rated: R for you know what! well nearly!​


The day was growing old; the sun far in the sky now as time was slowly running out. A certain nervous Latios sat in his sunroom, watching out the window facing the sunset. His eyes half closed as he waited for news. Lord Roal had heard nothing since his son left and Glyph had gone after him. But he still waited, worried for his daughter and now his second child.

The thought of losing both his offspring made his heart beat fast, his eldest was a knight, and he could be struck down easily in battle… Luke was his heir for now, though neither son knew that, only he. He chose Luke because Luke was not seeking any dangerous job such as the king’s service…

And Naoko, though being the youngest she was his daughter, his only daughter and the last child before his wife left him. She was nothing more then just something to be proud of, to want to be everything a young lady of the courts could be.

But now it was all in vein, he could easily lose all his children, he could die and his line would end there… his fists clinched tightly. He knew he should have done away with Ransom, back when he was cruel and heartless, back when Ransom was the apprentice and he was the master. But even though he saw the selfishness, the pride in the young serpent back then… he still allowed him to live.

And now everything was riding on a marauder code, a code that was more of a guideline, Ransom didn’t have to follow it. No, none of them had too now since they were no longer marauders… but.

Roal sighed and leaned back.

If Ransom was following this code, he best do so as well. It was the only thing keeping the balance between them, the only honor they had to uphold among each other. Otherwise a war would break out… and take everything they worked so hard for. For now, Roal would play this game. He hated games.

The old Latios lord was broken out of his train of thought as a tall man entered the room, his head dipped slightly. Glyph approached his leader silently; knowing full well that Roal had seen him. The Arcanine waited until he could sit down close by Roal and remained silent, waiting for Roal to speak.

“Well, my friend?” asked the Latios, looking older then ever and wry. His head hung low near his chest as he awaited the news from his companion.

“We didn’t catch him, I met with Ransom’s right hand as it seems the Lord is busy.” Glyph replied calmly.

“My son is dead then.” Roal shook his head, he should have warned him. But he didn’t want to scare the boy anymore then he all ready was. He thought for sure Glyph would have caught him in time, but they both were getting old… one forgets how quick a younger pokemon can be.

“No, he was near death but it seems… his life was spared due to a certain Lugia.”

This caught the Lord’s attention and Roal turned to look at the Arcanine carefully. This was a confusing change that neither one had expected.

“What? What would that wench Arrow want with my son?”

“Seems she is smitten.” Glyph couldn’t help but smirk a little, “Ah young love.”

Roal fell silent, soaking this in. It was a strange feeling, having your son’s life saved by someone one hates with a passion. Arrow… the assassin… smitten with his child? How… disgusting and yet, perhaps could play to there advantage later on.

“What does the Lord wish for me to do, to retrieve what has been taken.” Roal sighed rubbing his forehead with an annoyed feeling now.

“Here.” The Arcanine offered another scroll, more decorated and still had that ‘R’ symbol on it.

“What is this?” Roal opened the scroll up and his eyes ran over the words quickly, he wasn’t expecting TWO ransoms in one day but… wait. This wasn’t a ransom. “He is throwing a ball?” snapped the Lord.

“Seems so, he has invited your house to join his for the harvest festival ball which he is throwing. There you will offer the Hourglass and in exchange you will go home with Lady Naoko.” Glyph couldn’t help but chuckle “Clever isn’t he, making it look like just a simple gift on your part, having so many nobles there will prevent us from taking it back.”

Roal hummed a little as he thought before pausing, “… Just Naoko? What about Luke?”

“You will have to talk to the assassin about that.” Glyph sighed wincing, as he knew what was about to come.

“DAMN THAT WOMAN!” Roal leaped to his feet before putting a hand over his heart and panting, “She is going to be the death of me!”

“… Crap.” Glyph gasped finally.

“What?”

“… I just realized… nothing my lord. I will go prepare for the ball.” And with that the Arcanine fled, realizing fully what he had done. He had Arrow in his hands… and he let her walk away.

He was a fool.

But he had a week to fix this, the ball was the next coming full moon, and then. Then he would regain the injured Honor that had been taken from him.

~*~
FLUFFY LIME OH NOES! Though skipping isn't suggested as its importent to the plot!

A small sound came, it sounded high pitch and well, and it was a sort of squeak as it came from a closed door. The squeak actually was more like a toy, the kind one can squeeze and it makes the high pitch noise. Another squeak came before a small ‘Ack!’ escaped.

Luke wasn’t really sure what to do; he had been literally dragged into this room that was filled with all sorts of jewels and gold, which shined in piles all around the room. He had been dragged across the room and flung into a soft mattress, a bed of sorts though it seemed Arrow cared little for a true bed more for just a place to sleep and be surrounded by glittery things. The Latios was looking up at her as she hovered over him, on her knees and her head near his with a devilish smile, one only a black Lugia could pull off.

Luke felt her large wing like hand on the side of his face, he watched her with a strange curiosity as to exactly what she was doing. She reached up and touched the blue ring before a strange sound escaped her that must have been giggling. “Shiny.” She chuckled, seeming like a child in at a candy cart. But she was right; the blue on his body seemed to glitter from the candlelight and the reflection off the other shinnies in the room. Though his fur was a sort of downy it seemed to be well groomed and it showed it.

“Yes, yes shiny. Stop touch- ACK!” The poor Latios never expected her to actually pull his robe off and lift his shirt in one motion, it was as if she was trying to see where else he was shiny at, but unknowingly Arrow didn’t really care about that anymore. She was after something else. “S-stop.” The now very nervous Luke whimpered as Arrow’s hand made several rounds on his chest, which made Luke tingle and laugh a little, as he was rather ticklish.

“Oops.” Arrow said as she had slipped off the sash around the young man’s waist, making his pants rather lose. Luke fell silent as he watched his sash get flung away and if his face wasn’t coated in fur, he would be blushing. Another small oops and his whole face would have been red as it seems Arrow had ‘lost’ her shirt.

Now Luke understands exactly what the black Lugia wanted his eyes grew wide and he tried to scoot away. “Look your nice and all but-but I’m not interested…and I think you’d kill me.”

“Nonsense.” She whispered, “Quiet Shiny Man.” Her spiked tail reached over and wrapped around his ankle. Preventing him from scooting any farther. Luke bit his lip as Arrow did away with any other clothing, which of course she pretend to ‘accidentally’ loses. It was like a game to her and the more she played the less she took notice the face Luke was making, it went from confusion to curiosity and now was set on terrified.

“I-I-I” he stuttered, bringing his hands up to cover his eyes. Arrow moved a little grabbing his chin and leaning down to nuzzle his nose against hers, showing affection as she kept her other hand on his chest, pinning him. “Please… stop.” Luke whimpered, knowing full well his body would betray him, but his mind didn’t want this… not this way. He may be an adult but he still felt like a child and he had never really been with a woman.

Arrow seemed to completely ignore this as she moved herself more on top of him. He whimpered slightly as her towering form overshadowed him. He shut his eyes and was trying to remain strong, trying to show that he could handle this. But the innocent boy inside broke free and did the only thing he could do.

Luke burst into tears.

Arrow froze. Just completely froze as she saw the tears streaming out of her shiny man’s eyes. She watched him carefully as he cried, she didn’t understand all, the confusion told her she had to stop. She was hurting him. She didn’t want to hurt him.

All her life she had been around men like Ransom, Tor and even Roal. She had lived and grew up around marauders, to her men loved sex, it was something they wanted and took even if the female was not willing to give it out. This is how she for saw men as that is all she ever knew… even when they said no, she thought in truth they just meant yes.

But this reaction, this was something she never expected. It took her completely by surprise. She tilted her head, studying a bit more before moving off Luke; he didn’t even notice this. Though once he felt the weight gone he curled into a fetal position and just cried. Arrow was a bit annoyed, as while he seemed to be completely full-grown he was acting like a child. But the annoyance changed into a bit of pity and she grabbed the blanket and tossed it over him, but made sure just to cover his humility.

She pulled the Latios closer, in return hearing a small ‘No.’ and she sighed but did not let him go. This was her shiny man, even if she couldn’t have him the way she wanted, she would have him another way. She ran a hand over the blue on his body before leaning over and laying her head on his side. She gave off a sound that at first could be mistaken for purring but it was more of a ‘murr’ then a ‘purr’ and in a few minutes, she had dozed off…

A small ‘Mine’ escaping her.

End Fluffy Lime aah!


~Chapter Ending~ (Not suppose to rhyme!)

Throughout the mansion, servants and nobles rested their heads. A long day has ended and it was time for bed. The lord slept soundly snuggled next to his prize. The Persian mumbling in her light slumber, a name that gave her all the wonder.

Just across the hall, asleep far apart. Slept a serpent and a flower and they were not very pleased. Though they had there fun (and it was plain to see how) they still hated each other’s guts… for now.

And not far from here, slept a boy all alone, awaiting the chance to steal his rightful home. But for now he rested with ease and the knowing he had, for soon he would be free and away from this bad land.

And with the sleep of a giant and the snore like one too, slept a black creature in a strange coo. She clung to her shiny, as if it would flee. And it gladly would if only it could get free.

Across the way and not quite asleep, sat a young girl with a weep and a cry. She wished to go home, she wished to fly high, but for now she must wait… until the next full sky.

End Part One.

Part Two begins soon.​

Gawds I was bored. Don't ask about the ending, I was just... wanting to wrap up the day in this so far.

Always watching...
Wow, you sure pumped out two chapters really fast! So fast that I have to review both of them in one post!

It is rather funny in a mature sort of way, and the way you protrayed Luke made him look like a royal fool... :p Not exactly the smartest being alive, but his courage is to be admired... I think...

“No, if I release you, you wont go near her again.” The assassin snapped, “Or,” she released one hand and moved it quickly down to the serpent’s lower area, gripping the crotch tightly Tor winced madly at the pressure.

“I will remove these, as they seem to cause trouble.”
O_O That threat will work 100% of the time against any and all males...

“Let Sir Glyph get him?” Said one.

“Yeah… Ooh sweet rocks!” Replied the other.
XD Good help is hard to find nowadays!

“Wha… Ack!” Luke gasped in confusion; he hadn’t expected his butt to get pinched.
All the more showing how much Arrow likes her shinies!

Of course Arrow hadn’t thought that far, she was a bit busy with her new shiny.

Luke of course, felt as if he was about to throw up.
I almost feel sorry for Luke... Almost being the key word here. He did get himself into all that trouble!

“She is going to be the death of me!”
That has to be Roal's favourite quote!

~Chapter Ending~ (Not suppose to rhyme!)
O RLY?


Ah... This story really makes me glad to be over 18... ^_^ I sure hope the next chapter rolls along soon! You have really got me hooked here!

Well 2 chapters in two days, didn't expect that anyway onto the review.

Well lets see, Roal certainly took news that his son was now property of Arrow suprusingly well, Ransom certainly has everything well planed, we have an acciendent prone Arrow and her shiny, I wonder what will happen to Luke if he stays around Arrow too long?

Also you got interested in this Maurader code, I wonder how it works, also I still wonder what this hourglass does it must be something important considering the fic is named after it.

Anyway I'll be waiting for the next chapter so till then.

...Awww... ;-;

Poor Luke...as innocent as he is, it must be terribly overwhelming to suddenly findhimself not only in the possession of a woman, but also obsessively kept as her precious "shiny"...

Poor Roal, as well, having to stare down an uncertain future for his lineage...

And Roal's right about Ransom's plan to get the Hourglass being clever, what with the ball and the witnesses and all, plus Naoko as a ransom. Crafty old serpent, that Ransom is...

...now I'd better go before I start gushing about that Arbok excessively. XD

Part Two

Chapter six: The harvest Ball

Rated: PG-13 for blood

~* One Week later*

The large round harvest moon was high, it was a light shade of yellow showing it was full and close to the earth. Its rays shown down on fields that had recently been harvested. The mansion owned by the Lord Ransom was alight with torches and candles. Servants dashed about as they carried food trays and other arrangements.

Steeds arrived in front of the mansion before being taken off to the stables while noble guests arrived. They were dressed in the most richest and finest of silks and cloth, men and women entering into the mansion with such gossip about the Lord Ransom. As he was knew to the noble realm and thus was one to be quickly talked about.

The guests entered the entrée, which was a large decorated room with rare paintings and expensive vases, which was just the first way for the lord to show off. The guests were then showed down a hallway, which was also richly decorated, into a large room. This room was dome like; decorated with fine crafted pillars that reaches the floor to the large ceiling. The Ceiling had a large crystal chandelier. The floor was of the finest marble and was a soft gray coloring with mingled white looking like smoke.

Servants darted about with trays of drink or snack. The dinner had all ready been completed and guests who were unable to arrive for it were now just arriving for the ball part. Pokemon of all sizes were about in their rich robes and dress, they danced unique dances as belly dancers performed in a corner. A small drum played as flutes echoed about, even a harp was going. Ransom spared now expense.

And there the great Arbok stood, among some guests and near his bodyguards. He was dressed in rich green with a blue sash, his scales shinned in the candlelight and his hood was fanned flat, making him look very intimidating. The tall serpent had his strong arm around a delicate one, with soft cream fur that belonged to a fragile body. The Persian wore a ruby red dress of the finest cloth, decked in jewels and the like she was a sight to see, her hair flowing over her shoulders and her head dipped in respect. It was like Ransom was wearing an expensive living ring.

Not very far off, and enjoying other’s company. The Seviper Tor flirted with some young Lady of the courts while Isis tried to cause jealousy by flirting with a rather flustered Mudkip. The two were dressed ‘nice’ even though being dressed nice for them was just actually dressing in something normal.

On the dance floor, dancing slowly and calmly was the violet serpent known as Jiro. He was dressed in a soft red while he had a deeper red sash. His yellow eyes were focused else where as he turned the young lady Naoko around, as he was put on watch over her until her father gave the gift. She was constantly looking around to see if she could spot her family anywhere, but they had not arrived yet. She was growing worried that they would not come for her. Of course this was a pointless worry, as they would soon arrive.

Jiro watched out of his corner of his eye as he continued to dance with the young girl, he was watching Ransom with his trophy, Katera. He sighed bitterly as Ransom laughed and pushed Katera forward, so one of the Lord’s he was showing off to could get a better look. The Mightyena reached out to brush the Persian’s hair when Ransom’s hood fanned out even flatter, the markings on it looking like an angry face, and gave the guest a nasty glare that at once caused him to stop. Katera turned slightly towards Ransom, looking a little startled.

Ransom smirked, glad this fool knew his place, and squeezed Katera’s arm. Not for comfort just to show her she won’t be touched by anyone but him.

There was one person missing from Ransom’s household. It seemed Arrow was not interested in going to the Ball nor feeling like leaving her shiny alone. As she was not about to drag him about in such a place where anyone could touch him.

So the music continued and the dances played, the talk was up in the air as Ransom awaited his ‘gift’ so he could finally exchange the child. He just had to wait…

~*~

The young Latios sighed as he looked out a hallway window. It had been a weird week, with the near… raping and then the sudden change. Arrow still touched him and nuzzled him and stole his shirts. But she didn’t take it as far now.

He didn’t really understand her, or this place. Was he really this naïve? He felt like an idiot at times and just a victim at others. But right now he just watched the ball through the servant window that just happened to face the courtyard behind the ballroom. He couldn’t go far, it seemed Arrow just knew when he attempted escape.

He learned that the hard way, as he had literally leaped for his life out a window, landed in a bush and well, bumped right back into Arrow. She just simply snorted and dragged him back to the room. He learned though if he didn’t try to run, he could go out. When she didn’t lock the door.

Luke sighed resting his elbow on the ledge and his chin in his hand. He thought he spotted Naoko once, Arrow informed him that she was fine and would be going home soon. The Latios was glad of that, though he did wish he hadn’t made a fool of himself.

Luke felt a grip in his shoulder as Arrow placed her black wing like hand on it. She squeezed it softly or what she thought was soft (It was rather painful for Luke) and stuck her head out the window, a soft purr like sound escaping her.

“Do you think my father’s there?” Luke asked, trying not to wince from the sharp grip. The Lugia looked down at him and tilted her head, before brining her muzzle down and nuzzling behind his ear.

“Probably.” She replied simply.

“Will you ever let me go home?” He asked again, looking away as she nuzzled him.

“Maybe, you know what I want.” Arrow hadn’t given up getting Luke… in that way. But she was being more cautious about it. She hadn’t expected him to be a virgin.

The Latios side and tried to pull his shoulder away, but Arrow held firm. She knew he was upset again, but it didn’t matter. He belonged to her.

“I hate you.” Luke snapped with a glare at her. Arrow wrapped her tail around his leg and gave a wicked smile as she brought her face closer to his. She slipped a hand inside his robe as she watched his eyes carefully.

“I don’t care.”

Luke shuddered a little and looked away, she rolled her eyes and pulled him against her. Being much shorter then her he was easily faced planted in her bosom. Which would have made him turn a shade of pink if not for his fur. She grinned, as he seemed to grow tongue tied at impact.

“Good little shiny man.” She chuckled.

~*~

A tall Latios stepped down from his steed, his coloration was different then the others so far. His patches that were usually blue were actually a very dull gray while his white was more of a light gray. His eyes were a faded brown. Though he wasn’t the best color he was tall and very well built, showing he was a healthy fair young man. He wore a forest green robe with gold trip, underneath were red pants and across his shoulder was a cloth with the gold, red and blue colors, the countries colors.

He was a knight of the sultan.

The Latios turned and helped an older Latios off his steed, the green ‘shiny’ version of a Latios leaned on his son for help. Once he was on the ground he turned and snapped his fingers. Two servant girls, about twelve years old were right behind him in a second, the Vulpix and the Skitty lowered their ears in respect as they carried a decorated wooden box. The box was a red color with gold trimming on the ends, it was real gold that kept it together and seemed very important.

Not far behind an old Arcanine got down from his steed, he didn’t wear a robe but a cream pair of pants with a gray sash, his arms crossed and looking very dangerous.

“Lets go.” Said Lord Roal.

His eldest son nodded, looking displeased indeed.

~*~

The party was in full swing; the guests seemed to be enjoying themselves. Ransom stood where he had before, as he was not one for a dance. His arm still around Katera’s as she kept to herself not really wanted to look into anyone’s eyes or be shown off again.

Katera noticed Ransom’s grip on her tightened and she looked up at him, seeing his face turned away she turned to look and blinked. She saw two Latios enter the Ball, one was old, and looked much older then Ransom and the other were probably near thirty.

Close beside them was a tall Arcanine, Katera had seen him before but at a distance. She wasn’t sure who he was.

The party seemed to stop, as if the guests felt the sudden tension and most turned their eyes towards either Lord Roal or Lord Ransom. As if a fight was about to break lose. Jiro blinked with surprise before grabbing a hold of Naoko (as she had made a dash for freedom towards her father) and led her back over into the crowd, near Ransom.

“Be patient. You don’t want to ruin this, its for your safety, milady.” Jiro whispered as he kept a hand on Naoko’s shoulder.

The rival Lord approached slowly, his son at one side and his right hand man on the other. The old Latios was using a cane and while he didn’t quite look nearly as intimidating as Ransom, Roal held his own among others. It was easy to see that he knew far more the any other Pokemon and that even his knowledge rivaled Ransom’s.

The two servant girls, who carried the package, had sour looks on as they tried not to cringe too much at the weight of the box. While the object inside was anything but heavy the box itself weighed on the girls.

The crowd continued to split as the new arrivals approached the host of the party; Ransom’s hood was flat and intimating as he kept a very tight hold on Katera. She turned her head towards his body and bit her lip a little, she was very afraid, but she wasn’t sure why.

Jiro watched closely, he hadn’t noticed that Naoko had wrapped her arms around his. As she wasn’t really afraid of the Ekans and was watching like a bird of prey, wanting to bad to flee to her father but fearing for her life and his now, just remained safe with her ‘guard’

Finally the two groups, which was joined by Tor and Isis on Ransom’s side, were facing each other. A good four feet between them. Slowly Ransom stepped out, leaving Katera to stand alone beside his two henchmen.

Slowly Roal stepped out, looking a bit uneasy as he left the protection of his son and friend. Slowly Ransom reached his hand out towards Roal; Roal returned the favor, their hands gripped.

The tension was in the air for only a second…
Before the two began to laugh and shake hands. A great relief came over everyone, as it seemed nothing was wrong.

So the great act was on.

“I see you made it my old friend.” Ransom greeted withdrawing his hand. He turned his gaze towards Glyph, ignored a welcome to him all to gather then looked at the strong Enoc, Roal’s first born.

“I see you wear the Sultan’s colors proudly, young Enoc.” Ransom nodded.

Enoc didn’t respond, just stood tall and proud, showing he was not going to be wooed by Ransom’s words. The lord knew something was up, Roal wasn’t going to try anything… no he wouldn’t try anything at all... But then again, his children might.

Ransom turned his gaze towards a window facing the servant wing before looking back at Katera, who stood still and calm, looking quite pretty and obedient as always. Roal, Enoc and Glyph’s gaze followed Ransom’s and they all paused a second at the sight of the lovely woman, they all knew at once that she was a pure bred and was a costly thing for Ransom to own.

Defiantly something not to touch. But she was one to look at for a long awhile. The Arbok motioned for the young woman to approach and she did so humbly with her head dipped. Ransom offered his arm and she took it, slowly glancing up at him quickly before turning her gaze towards the others.

“So this is the Persian I heard about.” Roal nodded, “She is a lovely creature, she must have cost you greatly.”

“It was well worth it.” Ransom smiled, “Not only is she a lovely thing to look at, but she has been trained in many languages, dances and other things, she is a good accounted and is the one who proof read our contract. You can owe her for our little… mishap.”

Katera at once looked up at Ransom, she had not expected him to explain that to these three. She didn’t want to feel that guilt on her, as she wasn’t exactly sure why Ransom wanted that loophole and was hoping that it wouldn’t lead to something like this. She turned her gaze slowly towards Roal, who didn’t seem very impressed and Glyph was to busy eyeing her in other ways.

But Enoc… she shuddered, he was angry with her, at Ransom. She feared him more then any of the others. He wanted vengeance; he was a brother on a mission.

She made a note to stay clear out of his way.

“I see.” Was all Roal replied with before turning his gaze to behind him, “I brought you something, old friend, a gift from me to you.” He gave a short respectful nod before slowly the two servant girls made there way forward; the two eyed Ransom carefully before sitting the box down in front of him.

Tor licked his lips as it seemed he was growing more anxious then Ransom. Isis gave him a look that was a warning to remain perfectly fine.

“A gift?” Ransom acted as if he didn’t know. He left Katera’s side and approached the box, but paused a second and looked at her and motioned, “Why don’t you open it, my dear?”

The startled girl blinked a little, giving a rather dumb look before she stepped forward. Her gaze shot away towards the crowd until she found two serpent eyes watching her every move. Jiro had a nervous look, a worried look. He didn’t want this to be a trap; he didn’t want her to be hurt because his uncle was so foolish.

Roal and Glyph didn’t move… the Latios and Arcanine seemed perfectly fine with Katera opening it. As it seemed neither had come up with a good plan thus had to play along with Ransom. But they forgot to include a rather over protective older brother.


A small shriek was heard as Katera tumbled back away from the box. She hugged herself as she stared with wide eyes at the form that had moved beside it. Weapon drawn and shining in the light. The gasps echoed among the crowd and a loud “KATERA?” was heard, which caused Ransom to look around to see who would be worried over her welfare.

He didn’t have time to search this though. As he felt a form bump into him and the serpent looked down to see Katera clinging to his arm, the fear evident that she was now not going to open the box. What a waste of effort on his part to order her too.

Enoc stood in his knighted glory, his weapon drawn (It was not taken as most thought it was for show… and its against the law to remove a knight’s weapon.) and held out in front of the box to protect it. The look on Roal’s face proved that he had nothing to do with it, but Ransom didn’t care.

This annoyance wasn’t going to change any of his plans.

“Well, well, well… seems you don’t agree with me receiving this gift, son of Roal?”

“Lord Ransom, you are under arrest for kidnapping, black mailing a lord of the sultan and conspiring with marauders.” Enoc stated loudly. Roal cried out for his son to silence his tongue, but it seemed Enoc was not about to listen.

Ransom was unfazed, standing tall and intimating as always. He didn’t lose his composure over this little pest.

“Is that so?” he chuckled, “You could at least let me open my gift. And you didn’t have to scare this little pet so much.” Ransom reached over and ran a hand over Katera’s hair, a small whisper to her and she backed off and dashed away to go hide beside Jiro and Naoko, who was near tears at her brother’s actions.

Enoc glared bitterly as he lifted his blade, “Come quietly and we will see what kind of mercy the judges will have on your soul. May the god’s protect you from the crimes you have committed, but for a personal opinion I hope you burn in the pits of hell.”

“What a horrid thing for a respectful knight to say. Ah well…” Ransom reached into his robe, which of course caught Enoc’s attention and he raised his sword a bit more, wanting to be prepared for anything. Neither Glyph nor Roal knew what to do.

They wanted to support Enoc but Roal was too fearful for his daughters life… and mostly his own. But Ransom didn’t pull out a weapon, oh no not a weapon yet at least. It was a small piece of word with a hole in it, two holes actually. A whistle. Both Tor and Isis couldn’t help but grin, looking around to see that the others had gotten in place.

Ransom was moving his plan ahead faster; he was going to enjoy this. He brought his snake like lips down onto the whistle, it was rather odd how he could actually get sound out of it, but then again, his lips were more flexible then a normal serpents.

The sound echoed about the dreadfully quiet ballroom, as everyone seemed to be holding his or her breath for the last several minutes.

The whistle faded and it seemed everyone had frozen still, even Enoc, waiting to see what would come from it.

~*~

The black Lugia was rather comfortable at the very moment, her head resting on Luke’s bare chest (as she had stolen his shirt again) and her hand on his belly. He had a very annoyed look but at least had on his pants. She was dazed a bit, as the two lay on her mattress in her room. A few candles burning as Arrow tried to get some rest.

The door was left open, and it seemed a breeze was blowing in from the corridor as it carried a light sound. A sound only Arrow picked up as her head rose at once. She stood quickly; faster then Luke had seen her move in the last week. She had gathered up a black cloth and tied it around her waist; it hanged behind her behind and swayed a little. She looked at Luke one last time before she was gone from the room.

Luke blinked before standing up and walking out of the room, she was all ready out of the hallway… she moved fast. He didn’t know she used a shortcut.

The window he had been looking out of minutes ago.

~*~

Enoc growled suddenly, before stepping in front of the box and walking towards Ransom. “You are procrastinating and resisting arrest.” He snaps.

“I am just trying to be a gentlemen, Sir Enoc, it is you who is interrupting my party and scaring the guests.” Ransom replied, “Are you going to attack an old man who has no weapon?”

Enoc paused a moment, but just a moment before he advanced again. “I will escort you out to my steed, where you will be taken to the great city of the sultan and be judged.”

“Ah, I see. Well, perhaps I should say that I don’t think you have that kind of power.” Ransom grinned wickedly and at once Roal knew something was up.

“Enoc! Stop! You can’t… ENOC MOVE!”

The warning came soon enough, the dull colored Latios bolted to the side, nearly missing a dagger as it was flung right for his heart. Now the pokemon were really scattering, going for the exits but it seemed they all had been barred and locked tight. The confusion erupted into fast chaos, which left mostly everyone but four to deal with that had begun.

Arrow stood tall, the tallest in the room actually. Her towering head looked down at the dull Latios. He looked much like an older Luke, but he wasn’t shiny, thus she didn’t care. She drew out two more blades from the holding in the black cloth around her waist.

Enoc lifted his blade and prepared to fight. He took the stance of a man trained in combat. Arrow knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but then again, it couldn’t be too hard.

As the exits were blocked and it seemed no one could leave. The guests had moved around from the center of the room and were near the walls, the music had long stop and any dancing was destroyed by the sudden violence.

Arrow watched the Latios for a second, checking his stance, his movement. Before she gave a wild grin and bolted, right at him. The startled knight didn’t lose a second beat as he rose his blade and prepared it for a swing. The larger opponent neared, drawing two daggers. She took one brining it down across at the Latios. Enoc swung his blade up to defend; the two collided… and stilled. Enoc shouldn’t have been surprised at Arrow’s strength even though her blade was much smaller then his. The two met eyes a second before Enoc saw the glint in her other hand. He yanked his blade up as he leaped away, knocking Arrow back just a little bit. But she wasn’t knocked away long as she went at him again.

Their blades clashed again and again, Arrow was forcing him back towards the crowd. Which caused the noble guests to scatter like a flock of drakes. Arrow’s blades were flying about as she brought them at Enoc with en attend to kill while Enoc defended waiting for the chance to get a strike in.

The two were in an odd dance, and it seemed Arrow was leading as she continued to force Enoc to step back.

The Ekans in the crowd watched, hoping that Arrow wouldn’t get hurt. While he didn’t like this situation all to gather he just hoped it would have gone smoothly. He had two girl’s clinging to him in fear. The trophy, Katera and the hostage, Naoko, the two girls seemed anything but thrilled at the fight. As Naoko watched her older brother fight for his life while Katera just didn’t like seeing pain.

Isis shoved Tor as the two moved away, as the fight was heading their way. The Seviper snapped at her, which earned him a swat on the nose. Which he whined hurt.

Glyph kept himself between Roal and the fight, but his eyes were not on Enoc but on Arrow. He recognized her at once and also remembered where he had seen her before. He couldn’t believe what an idiot he had been.

Arrow wasn’t letting up; she could all ready see she had an advantage with side and her speed. She knew exactly how to use her daggers compared to this knight, he hadn’t had much experience yet and it seemed to be causing him greatly. She bright one blade beside the other, grabbing at the two sides of his sword and jerked, flipping his weapon from his hands and sending it flying into a near by crowd. The Nobles nearly were hit if they had not leapt out of the way.

Enoc stood weaponless, eyes wide a bit but still holding his pride. Arrow smiled, her bladed tail swishing as she held the two daggers before her. She nodded at Enoc, as if giving him recognition before she advanced, ready to run the Latios through.

Enoc stared at the Lugia but didn’t move, preparing to defend himself as best he could. Though he knew full well with out a weapon he was good as dead. He caught a horrified look from his father and the weepy eyes of his sister. The dull colored Latios was protective of his family… he didn’t want to die. Not yet at least.

Arrow shoved one of her blades forward. Enoc did not close his eyes as he prepared for the pain that would come.

But it never came.

A loud ‘Oof!’ was heard, as Arrow seemed to be knocked off balance. She stumbled on one of her legs trying to regain it before tumbling over like a pillar. The thundering sound of her body hitting the marble made many wince in disgust. Arrow’s head rose as she turned to see what had caused her to fall so easily.

She blinked in surprise to see a shiny Latios clinging to her side, a bit weepy in the eyes as he clung to her, his wings fanned as he clung with all his might.

“Don’t kill my brother.” Luke whispered out, looking at Arrow with begging eyes. Arrow felt pity for her shiny man for only a second, before she began to stand. But the black Lugia couldn’t find her feet quick enough; she felt a cold blade near her throat.

“Farewell.” Enoc said, as he held one of Arrow’s own daggers to her throat, the Lugia’s eyes grew large in surprise before she smirked, she didn’t fear death.

“You won’t do it.” She spat out, “Your to pathetic.”

Enoc glared harshly and brought the blade back a little. Arrow knew at once that she had made a mistake, he had a look in his eye she often had when someone touched one of her shinnies, a look of revenge.

But it seemed today was not the day for vengeance, as Enoc was about to deliver the final blow he gasped instead and a small splutter of blood escaped his mouth. He coughed and gasped a little, as the blood ran down his mouth and onto his robe. Dropping the dagger the Latios fell to his knees, that’s when Luke noticed a red spot on his stomach…

Ransom pulled Enoc’s blade out of his back, then wiped the bloody blade off on Enoc, knocking the drying Latios over. Shrieks of terror resounded around the room. Some of the pokemon were starting to think it was an act put on by Ransom, to entertain them. But now they all knew this was very real.

And one thing about Nobles, they are ruthless businessmen or naïve children give way too much then they could handle. Many lost control of there stomachs.

“No!” came a cry as Luke pulled away from Arrow, who was a bit stunned at the sudden death but soon recovered. She watched her Shiny Man go to his brother’s side, tears falling out of the naïve Latios’ eyes as he flipped his gasping brother onto his back. Enoc’s eyes were half-open and could barely focus.

“Enoc!” came another cry; Naoko broke away from Jiro (who was a bit busy comforting a crying Katera) and dashed through the crowd falling onto her knees beside Luke. “Oh by the gods! Enoc don’t die!” she said with just as many tears.

The older brother could barely focus on his two younger siblings. He tried to grip Naoko’s hand but she had to take it for him. She sobbed bitterly as she slowly watched the life draining from his eyes. Luke looked around, tears in his eyes as he felt the need to do something, find someone that could help his brother.

That’s when he noticed his father making his way to the three, Roal had a look of utter horror on his face. He stamped along on his cane as he rushed as fast as his old legs would carry him. “Get away from him!” Roal declared, trying to knock his other two children off with his cane. Luke grabbed Naoko at once and pulled his sobbing sister away.

Arrow took the chance to grab Luke’s shoulder; he looked at her only a second but then ignored her as he clung to his sister like a lifeline.

Roal had by now fallen onto his knees and let out a welling cry at the realization that his oldest son was dead. His smartest and bravest heir, while Enoc didn’t want the family fortune and the life style his father had (Which had forced Roal to plan to give it to Luke) the father always hoped his son would change his mind… this was his favorite child. His first born son...

And now he was dead.

No one was paying attention to Ransom now, or the fact that Isis and Tor were near their leader as the Arbok made his way to the package. Glyph had abandoned his post as he had other plans now.

Ransom took the sword and used it to pry the lid off the box. The sound of the wood cracking brought the attention back onto him. But he didn’t care. Slowly he opened the box and reached down inside, pulling out cloth and paper. Tor was watching with interest while Isis was keeping watch that others didn’t try anything.

Ransom let out a deep laugh as he dropped the sword and grabbed at something within the box, he grinned evilly as he gripped what he had been waiting for and slowly lifted the heavy golden thing up. It was an hourglass, about a foot high, it was golden with clear crystal glass, inside was blood red sand, it seemed to flow like water as he turned it around, it shinned brightly (which caught Arrow’s attention.) and seemed to nearly glow.

“Ladies and Gentlemen.” Ransom’s voice boomed as he held the hourglass, “This is the hourglass of Celebi’s temple, keeper of time and reality.” He grinned cruelly, “You know me as Lord Ransom, servant to the sultan and lord of the south.” He looked around, now seeing everyone is looking at him.

“I am also known as Ransom of the Blood Sand Marauders. I’m known for the death of men, raping of women and selling children for prophet.” The gasps that sounded at that were loud and shocked, echoing about the room.

Arrow had a look that all but said ‘Duh.’ As she couldn’t believe how idiotic rich snobs were.

Ransom gave a short bow as angry shouts erupted now.

“I am not finished!” Ransom roared, causing the crowd to fall silent, the Arbok stood tall and intimidating, his hood flat and flaring and his eyes glaring before he began to laugh happily. “I have one last announcement before I draw this ball to an end. You nobles of Kanto are no longer my guests.”

Everyone began to murmur what that meant.

“And not being my guests you are trespassing, which means I must deal with you according to how I run my house. Execution.”

And then it was realized why the doors and exits were locked, why there were so many guards and servants with blades about. Ransom had planned their deaths from the very beginning.

A slaughter was about to commence.

Always watching...
Cunning and deadly, the very definition of a snake. Which Ransom fits perfectly.
I can't believe those nobles didn't know that Ransom was a marauder... Looks like the years of life inside lavish walled mansions have bred deadly ignorance for them!

“Farewell.” Enoc said, as he held one of Arrow’s own daggers to her throat, the Lugia’s eyes grew large in surprise before she smirked, she didn’t fear death.

“You won’t do it.” She spat out, “Your to pathetic.”

Enoc glared harshly and brought the blade back a little. Arrow knew at once that she had made a mistake, he had a look in his eye she often had when someone touched one of her shinnies, a look of revenge.
Did she expect a trained knight to be too pathetic to kill?:p

Enoc is dead! And Arrow has spotted the shiny hourglass... Ooh, I wonder how the others will respond to this? More importantly, how are they going to escape the impending massacre?

Glyph had abandoned his post as he had other plans now.
And just what is he up to now?
Guess we'll only find out when you post the next chapter!
