Cold...I feel it. My eyes open to the evergreen forest that I had fallen asleep in. The smell of last nights fire in the morning air as cold wind blew across my black fur. I stretched a little bit and looked to my side to find my sword and clothes. I stood up and grabbed my pants, shirt, and black cloak. I slipped on my pants and shirt. Then the cloak, placing the hood atop my head. I then slung my sword on my shoulders. "I guess i should get some breakfast."
Just as I spoke a deer walked into my sight. "Speak of the devil."
I pointed my finger at it. As soon as I did this the deer was encased in a black orb. I made a motion towards me with the same finger and the black orb came to me. The orb then disappears and I unsheath my sword, a long onyx black sword. "I'm sorry."
I slash right at its neck and for a moment it seems as though I did nothing. Then the head plops off cleanly. I wait for the deer's corpse to fall to the ground before kneeling next to it and eating it.
After I as finished eating, I sat down for a little bit, thinking on where I was going to go next. "There should be a kingdom east from here, at least thats what I remember from the last map I saw."
I stood and headed east, not noticing the three echidnas in the trees. Not to long I was atop a hill that overlooked the kingdom I spoke of. "I hope there wont be problems like the last time."
Suddenly, three echidnas jump in front of me. "Hand over your money and valuables." says one of them, obviously the leader of this little pack.
I simply ignore what he said and started to walk towards them. The other two cross their swords in front of me. "Maybe you didn't hear me? I said give us your money and valuables" He repeats
I pull off my hood revealing my blood red eyes, black fur atop my head, white fur across my muzzle, and pointed fox ears. One of the other echidnas attempts to slash me with his sword, but I simply sidestep to avoid it. I unsheath my sword, its black blade reflecting the sunlight. "So it's a fight you want? Then you got it." says the leader.
He motions for the other two to charge at me. I ready my blade and dash forward with lightning speed. I slash the two in the chest and stop behind them. They freeze for a moment before blood spurts from there chests and they fall to the ground, dead. The leader looks at me with fear in his eyes and runs away. "Coward."
I sheath my sword, put my hood back on, and continue to the kingdom, soon coming to its gate. I look up and down the tall gate. "Hello?"
A red hedgehog with inverted quills looks down at me. "Who are you?" he asks.
"I am but a mere lone fox, just finding a place to stay."
The gate opens without another word from the hedgehog. I enter into the medievil kingdom, looking at a sign that simply says 'Welcome to the Kingdom of Nasui'. I walked to the main square of the large town, looking up to see the castle that must hold the king within. I walk towards the castle, until I am stopped by a guard who is right at the doors of the castle. "What buisness do you have with the Kings of Nasui?" asks the guard.
"I must speak of some personal things to them"
The guard stares at me for a second. "Open the doors!" hollers the guard.
The giant doors of the castle creak open and I walk into the them. A sky blue echidna walks up to me and bows. "Allow me to show you to the throne room." he says.
He begins to walk into another large set of double doors. After these doors is are three thrones each one holding a King. In the throne to the left is an scartlet red echidna. In the throne to the right is a orange fox. Finally in the center throne is a sapphire blue hedgehog. The guiding echidna motions for me to go forward. I do so and bow before them. "What is your name stranger?" asks the echidna.
"My name is Kumori Fox Kitsune. I am 23 yrs old."
"Reveal your face to us." says the fox.
I take off my hood and looks at the kings. "What is your buisness here, Kumori?" asks the hedgehog.
"I am looking for a man named Ariotho. I was wondering if you might know where he is."
All three of the Kings look at me sternly. "Ariotho the Echidnian Bandit King?" says the hedgehog.
"He is a bandit king?"
"Yes, and one of our most troubling problems. Him and his bandits have terrorized the entire kingdom for years." explains the fox.
"I see well then can I offer my services to help this kingdom?"
The same echidna who guided me here ran up to the hedgehog and whispered in his ear. The hedgehog sighs heavily. "There is a small group of bandits heading towards the town and most of our guards are still wounded from their last raid. Can you help us?" asks the hedgehog.
"Of course leave everthing to me. I will need no support."
With that said I exit the castle and head towards the kingdom gates...
How is that for a first chapter folks? Feel free to review and tell me or even flame. Thanks for reading.
