The Unhappy King
The King of Kumari Kandem was not pleased at all. Everything was a mess, and his plans have been completely ruined by that impulsively-stealing female called Wadi. She was charming his future-betrothed, and nobody took what was his. The birthday celebration was supposed to be a perfect opportunity for him to sweep his Zak of his feet with his impressive moves and natural abilities. He didn't expect that Wadi girl to show up and upstage him (Not to mention steal all of Zak's attention!).
Ulraj was not a happy ruler at all.
It didn't help that while he was fighting of that goat creature, that female had gone off and saved Zak from another creature using her contraption. Curse that human! His beloved Zak was his!
Since he was young, his father had already foretold of his future spouse with the elders. He was to be wed to a being that walked on both sides of the world of humans and cryptids. They emphasised that the being wouldn't be human though. Before he met Zak, he never minded that little detail. It was irritating since he had been very much attracted to Zak's scent (especially when the boy was wet). It was a plus that Zak was such beautiful-looking human with very adventurous and exciting life.
He was also pretty certain the elders wouldn't' mind (despite the prophecy) that he chose the saviour of their fair city as his bride.
But when he found out about Zak being Kur, he knew it was his destiny to be with him. Zak maybe human but having Kur's spirit makes him practically half-cryptid in nature. When the elders were alerted of this little tid-bit (which he made especially sure), they almost demanded Zak's hand in marriage. Luckily, he managed to convince them that a more diplomatic approach would be more effective. Zak and him were best friends, he just needs another level-up on Zak's ladder to get to fiancé.
What he didn't expect were rivals.
A rival to be exact.
Wadi.
This meant some serious planning… and maybe a war.
