The Tribe of Wilderness

"Darkfur?" Whitetail questioned, staring at Mighty with her eyes wide. "Sister? What the hell, Mighty?" Mighty sighed as he looked at his teammates. Yena, on the other hand, smirked.

"So, Darkfur, those friends of yours have no clue who you are, eh?" she said in a teasing tone, circling around them, her teeth bared in a mean grin.

"Yena, we're leaving." Mighty said and let out a threatening growl.

"No, you aren't." Yena said, and as she had said so, the pokémon that were with her surrounded them. "I'm curious to find out how father will react when he finds out his son is back... Get them to the castle." She stepped away, her head high. The other pokémon forced Team Saviours with them.

"Mighty, could you please explain to us what's going on?" Shadow asked. Mighty watched him with sad eyes, before sighing.

"I was born here in this forest." he said. "The ones who live here are part of the Tribe of Wilderness, a group who live alone here and being very hard and strict on visitors. I am the son of King Nightfang, and my true name is Prince Darkfur."

"Then he murdered our mother, Queen Yumi, and was banished!" Yena said, sounding strangely cheerful. Shadow, Aura and Whitetail stared at Mighty in shock and horror.

"I didn't!" Mighty spat. "Our mother's death was an accident! But, since father banished me, I had to leave. I gave myself a new name and made up some story about me being abandoned by my family while I still was a kid. I ended up meeting Lord Giratina, Marionette, Dusk and Spirit after collapsing on the ground, tired out of lack of food. Lord Giratina saved me back then."

"So that's why you're so loyal to him!" Aura said. "You owe your life to him!"

"I guess that Darkrai wasn't fully controlling him right then." Mighty, or Darkfur, said. "He took care of me, helped me and was really kind to me."

"Giratina, huh?" Yena, who had apparently listened to her brother's story, said. "You met a legendary pokémon? That's unexpected. I don't get what a legendary would see in someone like Darkfur. I'm a shiny! I understand if a legendary would find me interesting, but him..."

"My father saw Mighty's loyalty and care for his friends!" Whitetail hissed and glared at Yena in fury. "*Unlike you, he's someone to trust!" Yena laughed.

"Someone to trust? He didn't even tell you the truth about himself! And you say you trust him? Pathetic!" she said. Whitetail glared at her, but said nothing more. Mighty lowered his head in shame. The group of pokémon suddenly arrived at a huge stone castle that looked very old.

"My father's castle." Mighty said. They all walked inside, walked through long corridors, before coming into a huge room with a silver throne in it. On the throne, an aged mightyena with gray streaks in the black fur on his back laid. He didn't really notice the group of pokémon coming inside.

"King Nightfang, we brought you some prisoners." Felina said and bowed to the king. Nightfang's eyes passed over Shadow, Aura and Whitetail, but when he saw Mighty, he almost fell down from his throne out of shock.

"Darkfur!" he yelled. "What are you doing here? I told you I would punish you if you came back!"

"Accident." Mighty muttered silently. Then he raised his head and spoke directly to his father. "I passed here with my friends. We're on our way to the Northern Desert. We're leaving, okay?" Yena then approached her father and whispered something into his ear. Nightfang nodded. Then he smiled at Mighty.

"My son, we shouldn't think too much of the past! Stay here tonight and have a good night's sleep, and then you'll be all set to go on tomorrow!" Mighty stared at his father in shock.

"And he forgot to mention you're getting dinner this evening too!" Yena said and smiled a smile. It was impossible to tell whether she faked or not. Mighty now stared at his sister too.

"Well, I guess..." he said.

"What's wrong, son?" Nightfang asked. "Don't you trust your own father?"

"Of course I do!" Mighty said as if someone suddenly had woken him up from a dream. "We're staying, aren't we?"

"Suits me!" Aura said. "I'm hungry!"

"So am I." Shadow admitted. "I would be nice." Whitetail didn't answer. She just glared at Yena.

"It's nice to hear that you're staying, Darkfur!" Felina suddenly purred and stroke her head towards Mighty. Whitetail's gaze quickly shifted from Yena to Felina.

"What are you doing?" she hissed.

"Darkfur was my bethrothed before he was banished." Felina said coldly with an icy stare at Whitetail. "It's just natural for me to spend time with him now that we're finally reunited. Come on, Darkfur, you shouldn't spend time with commoners, you're royal, after all." She grabbed Mighty's paw and dragged him away from Whitetail, who just stared after them, like a child that someone had stolen candy from.

"Cat got your tongue?" Aura asked. "Or are you jealous?"

"Commoner!" Whitetail spat. "How did she dare? I'm Princess Whitetail, and I'm ten times more royal than her! I'm staying. I can't allow Yena to get Mighty..."

"So you are jealous!" Aura laughed and smiled at Shadow. "I rather expected that..."

"I'm not!" Whitetail said, blushing. "I just can't let someone like Felina steal our friend away from us!"
