A Kingdom Shall Fall chapter 3

Chapter 3

“Dam who blood could this be?” Wayna spoke with her ears back. “I don’t know the scent.”

“I know the scent.” Snowpaw spoke sadly. She the growl with her ears back. “It Belong to one of the kings general soldiers. They were here before you got here. They took my food and left us to starve!” She then calm down and smile at them both. “If it wasn’t for you we would be in big trouble. This is still not enough to last us thru winter, but it’s a healthy start.”

“Maybe your son saw them.” Shadow spoke looking at the little Skitty. The little Skitty was small and weak looking. He was shaking hiding behind his mother paws. He then went over and bind down. “What is his name?”

“His name is Snowshoe.” Snowpaw spoke softly. “It’s alright son. They will not hurt us.”

Snowshoe was push from his mother and spoke to us softly. “I was sleeping in my room when they attack. One of them try to kill me but then an Eevee and an Absol save me. After that they fight in the living room. I just hid in my room.”

“That sound like the rescue team.” Wayna spoke with worry. “If one of the general men fall here today, then it is best that we leave.”

“The kings general. Will most likely come here and try some trouble.” Shadow spoke with a growl. “I sure hope what that Eevee did was worth it. I’m glad she save the kid but if one of the solders are dead, then you can bet there will be hell to pay. Let’s go Wayna.”

“Sure just one moment.” Wayna then turn to Snowpaw and her son. “I k now it is not ideal, but you should leave to.”

“but why.” Snowpaw ask with confusion.

“The kings general is a real asshole. I heard stories about him. He killed and rape females and males all the time. He use his power to get anything he wants. He is going to want revenge for this.” Wayna explain with a coldly as she spoke. “I’m sorry but he will most likely blame this on you darling and your son. This guy has killed entire families. It is best that you leave.”

“Where will we go?” Snowpaw spoke with tears. “We will starve.”

“That why I want you and your son to come with us.” Wayna said plainly.

“What?!” Shadow, Snowpaw and Snowshoe spoke at the same time.

“That right you heard me right.” Wayna repeated her words. She was very much serious about what she said.

“Wayne no. the journey to the cold mountains is way too much.” Shadow spoke to her. “And hunting for food there is way too hard for her. Also the resistance only take those who can be useful to them. She can do nothing.”

“If I make a case to them that she can train as a medic and her son a warrior, then they have to accept them. Well train her son on the way there. By time we get there it should be enough.” Wayna spoke coldly. “I will not be reason with Shadow. I have made my mind up. The only one who can stop me is Snowpaw.” She then smile at Snowpaw. “What do you say? I won’t lie it will be hard and dangerous. But at least you can try to save yourself and family.”

Snowpaw look at her son and smile. “I accept.” She spoke with a smile. “I will work hard to be a medic.”

“This is just great. You know we will have to cross Desert Dry to get to the cold lands. Then we have to climb the most coldest mountain ever!” Shadow growl. He then look back at Snowpaw and her son. “Chances are they might not make it.”

“If they have the will to try then they should try Shadow.” Wayna spoke sadly. Snowpaw and Snowshoe look sadly at their conditions. “Now let’s get out of here and hide, before we are caught. We need to give our secret message to the guild master here, then leave.”

Then Wayna, Shadow, Snowpaw and Snowshoe left the little home. They made there was deep jungle trove and found a small cave to live in. they caught an old Zebstrika. The reason for this is that, they had no time to eat when they came home from the hunt. Also they could not leave a blood scent to where they were going, so they could not bring their fresh kill.

After they ate they talk amongst each other.  “Why do we have to wait here? The general is going to find out what happen and freak. We should go while we can.” Snowpaw spoke feeling a bit edge.

“We can’t Snowpaw.” Shadow explain as Snowshoe was trying to wrestle his paw. “We have an important message form the resistance for the guild master. We have to deliver it.”

“Also we have to hide.” Wayna spoke coldly.

“Why?” Snowshoe ask as Shadow pin him with his paw. “Why not just go and deliver the news now?”

“Because Snowshoe I have two reasons. The king suspect that the Guild master and rescue team are working together against him. This is true but he has nothing to prove it. So it is a secret.  That is why we must wait.” Wayna explain to him gently.

“What is the second reason?” Snowshoe ask.

“Because things are about to get very bloody.” Wayna simply reply.


Wayna was right things were about to become very bloody. Federico and his soldiers were just there to check on the Guild for any suspicious activities. Fortunately they found none. They were to leave the next day but one of Federico solders did not return.

Suspicious and annoyed Federico took some of his men and head to the Delcatty home. What he found was alarming. There was blood but he could not find his men. He then roar out an anger. He turn to his soldiers. “Find them now!” he growl.

They did find them. His Zoroark soldier was dead and two more of his men as well. He growl showing his teeth. He was piss. He did not care for his men, but who will dare go against the king and his soldiers.

He summon his men and head back to the Rescue Guild. There at the Rescue Guild was Ninetales Guild Master Arca. She and Federico was in a meeting in the Guild Master Chambers.

“I demand justice Arca!” Federico demand with a snarl. “Three of my solders are dead. One of yours did it. I demand a full investigation now! The Pokémon who done it will pay in blood!”

Arca kept a cool face. “Oh really Federico. What was your men doing back at the Delcatty home in the first place?” Arca demand. “Not for friendship.”

“It matters not why we are there.” Federico spoke coldly. “As far as I’m concern someone murder the king’s men. That someone must pay. Not even you can deny me that.”

Arca knew he was right. They were on thin ice with the king as it is. Also Federico rule trump the power she had. So an investigation was on the way. Homes were search, some were beaten up and other were harass. It was clear to everyone that someone was going to die. Someone did die.

“You did this!” Federico growl at a fearful Eevee. “Your paw prints are outside the home and they are fresh!”

“Nononono! I was only there to see Snowpaw. She help me last winter. I wanted to get her help in a hunt. When I got there no one was home.” The little Eevee explain.

“You mean to tell me when you got there nothing seem out of place to you.” Federico smile sadistically. “Sorry to say this kid but you’re done. He hangs in front of the entire Guild.”

All the Pokémon were gather for his hanging. Weather they wanted to be there or not. The Eevee own family was there. Force to watch as the Eevee beg, plead and scream. “This is what happen when Pokémon go against the kings and his troops.” They put the rope around the Eevee neck. “Death…” The Eevee then hung, Federico then turn with his claws out and gutted the little Eevee. “And Blood. Remember this lesson.” Federico then left with his bloody paw with a cold expression.

Everyone watch with shock face. Some were crying at this displayed. The little Eevee mother had tears in her eyes crying.  The Rescue teams were angry. They never felt so helpless. They wanted to stop it but there was nothing they can do. Most of all two Pokémon watch with guilt and anger.

Later on that night in the Rescue Guild sleep bunkers. Tsubaki lay in her bed crying. “I had no idea that was going to happen!” Tsubaki cries. In her paws. “If I know that was going to happen. I would have never killed them.”

“No one could predict that was going to happen.” Masamune spoke looking out of his window coldly. He then went over to her and gave her head a lick. “I doubt Federico care about who did it. He just wanted an excuses to be violent and spread fear. He wanted to tighten his grip of the kingdom here. That is why the king likes him.”

“Still that little Eevee would still be alive if we did not interfere.” Tsubaki spoke with her ears back. “I want him dead. I want Federico dead.”

“No Tsubaki. Federico is to go back to the kingdom tomorrow. If something was to happen to him. Then the whole kingdom will be drawn to us.” Federico explain to her and then went to his bed. “Get some sleep. Tomorrow we have a busy day.”

He yawn and soon was a sleep. Tsubaki sigh and slowly close her eyes with a growl. “I’ll get that evil baster somehow. In some way. He has to pay for what he has done.” Soon she was fast asleep.


The next day Federico was gone with his solders. Still Federico left two of his men behind. He wanted them to search for Snowpaw and her son. This was the right time as any. Wayna had send a message to Arca. She wanted to be it safe to come to the Guild. Once she got the message back that it was. Federico men were out and she had send hoods to hide their identity.

She gather her party and they head to the Rescue Guild. It took some hours but they finally made it there. The Guild was huge. Well made from wood, bricks and stone. A true example of craftsmanship.

“Alright Snowpaw and Snowshoe I want you both to wait next to the window.” Wayna spoke with her ears back. “As soon as I’m done with the message we should be ready to go.”

“Yes don’t talk to anyone one of Federico men can still be nearby.” Shadow spoke with his ears back. “It will be a long journey.”

They nod their heads. Snowpaw lead her son Snowshoe to the window. They waited there while Wayna and Shadow went to see the Guild master. Once they were in her chambers they had a serious talk.

Wayna sat down next to Shadow. Their hoodies were back as they sat in front of her. Arca had a box next to her. “I see this messages and I like it. It is true if we can get the leaders of the Darklands on our side then we can push King Damien kingdom from both our lands.” She then smile and wag her tails. “We can even push them out of the cold lands.”

“So do you want us to send a message to the cold Mountains?” Wayna ask her with her ears back.

“Yes I do.” She spoke. “Tell him that I’m going to try to set a meeting with the leader there. King Damien had just recently piss them off greatly. So we should be able to get something done.”

“Alright lady Arca. We will see you.” Shadow spoke with his ears back. He pulled his hoodie over his head.

“Wayna wait.” Lady Arca spoke. Wayna look at her and walk over.

“Yes lady Arca.” Wayna spoke with her ears down.

She move the box next to her in front of Wayna. “In this box is a fire stone. As you know some Pokémon cannot evolve regularly.”  Arca spoke with her ears up looking down at the little Vulpix shiny.

“Yes mis.” Wayna spoke.

“Good I want you to have this fire stone. But only use it when you’re very sure.” Arca explain to her. “When you evolve you go thru a very hard transformation.  Also very important. Do you understand?”

“Yes miss.” Wayna spoke and took the box with one of her tails.
