DRAW ANTI ANGRILY IN A WEDDING DRESS BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION

Day 74- He is not happy about it lmaoo

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

*Terrance was inside the temple standing next to Andrew, now a little nervous: it looked like the whole kingdom, including most of the realm leaders, had gathered outside the temple front. He looked at him sympathetic*

You ready? *he asked Andrew softly*

Andrew nods, gripping the paper

"Yes.. I'm certain.."

*Terrance inhaled before gently leading Andrew out and onto the same platform where Frith had been crowned king. He took a few more steps near the front before stopping and letting Andrew walk in front of him.

The crowds were chattering to each other, unsure of the meaning of the gathering, but they all eventually quietened, all eyes on the prince.*

"Greetings to all those in attendance. You are summoned here today to here an important announcement. As to not waste any more time, I shall get straight to the point. The demon butcher has been arrested for his crimes." Andrew announces, keeping a calm and stern composure

*the crowd stayed quiet, hanging onto every word that Andrew was saying, but then the murmurs and some cheers appeared when the arrest was announced*

Wait! How can you be sure he's been imprisoned?! *one demon suddenly yelled out.

Terrance gently patted Andrew's shoulder as he stepped forward: he was happy to answer this* I can answer that. He is being held in a remote area locked away from my realm. He cannot escape and, if anyone who's unfamiliar with the area slips in, they won't know how to get out. *he answered easily and confidently.*

Andrew nodded in response to Terrance

"Yes. What Terrance says is correct. The demon butcher is no longer a threat to the safety of demonkind."

*There was a mix of reactions: some chattered loudly, more joined in with the cheering while others looked a little annoyed and waved their hands to get the prince's attention. And those voices were the loudest:*

'Why did the arrest take so long?' 'Where's the King?!' 'Why is the King not making this announcement?!'

*Terrance started to look uncomfortable at the questions, and looked at Andrew unsure of whether to answer.*

"The king had some urgent buisness to attend to, and so I am here making this announcement on his behalf. As for why the arrest took so long, the butcher simply evaded it for a while by hiding." Andrew explains, still keeping his composure calm

*At this, the noise seemed to quieten as most demons accepted his answer. A few demons even smiled at each other, commenting on how quick and confident Andrew had been*

BUT I HAVE SEEN HIM IN THE PSYCHIC REALM! *a moth-like demon with human arms and hands suddenly screamed in a slightly high pitched voice* HE WANDERED AROUND THE WOODS AND, IF YOU WERE UNLUCKY, YOU WERE TAKEN!

"These sightings were of course reported, and it took the loss of many loyalists to even manage the investigation. We had to use the most utmost caution whilst he was active." Andrew answered, still calm and confident

*The moth demon's anger started to soften and disappear as Andrew explained. its antennas drooping a little as it nodded, sympathetic and thinking about the loss in total.

Someone else asked more about the imprisonment, which Terrance answered, but the confusion and shock had visibly disappeared in the crowd, and respect had replaced it. A lot of the demons were looking at Andrew with admiration.*

But he's secured forever, he-er...hello? *Terrance said calmly, but then blinked, confused, as the demon with the question froze.*

Andrew looks at Terrance

"Whats happening?"

*Terrance looked confused then worried as he saw that every demon was now frozen and it was deathly silent*

I'm not sure *Terrance said worried, taking a step back before looking round* Frith?...are...are you ok?

*Frith was crawling onto the platform on all fours, glaring at the two then the crowd*

"..Dad? Are you okay?" Andrew approaches catiously

*Frith glares at Andrew as he crawls past him, then looks at Terrance and runs straight for him, growling. Terrance looks confused then widens his eyes as Frith leaps onto him, his claws clutching Terrance's neck*

FRITH!....STOP!!! *Terrance tried to yell, but it was breathless as he struggled*

Andrew hastily takes action, throwing a minor fireball in Friths direction in an attempt to distract him

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"

*The fireball hit him and burnt one of his back spikes, making Frith screech. He got off Terrance, but lifted him up by the scruff of his neck and threw him towards the temple, before turning to Andrew snarling and glitching messily.

Terrance yelped as he hit the floor hard, turning into a jellyfish as his body slumped*

"Dad. Please calm down. Its me, Andrew, your son."

*Frith snarled as he crawled upto Andrew, then stood up, looking down at him: he'd grown a little taller than before* You're also the snitch *he muttered...but he sounded hurt more than angry, which didn't match his facial expression*

"..I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about what would happen if I told Mr. Terrance. I really didn't mean to do it dad, I'm sorry." Andrew says, walking closer to Frith

*As Andrew got closer, Frith's expression went through a mixture of anger and sad betrayal* And yet, it was easy for ya *he growled quietly before looking down, his ears flattening*

"What? No it wasn't! I wasn't thinking I swear. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to.. I'll do better I swear.."

*Frith slowly looked up as Andrew was still talking, his ears flattening. He then sighed before walking upto Andrew, glitching messily...and smacked him across the face, glaring*

YA BETRAYED ME! NOW OWN YA FUCKING MISTAKE! *he screeched, his wings extending out, and his arms flailing madly...which is when the freeze stopped. And the crowd saw Frith raising his clawed hand and glaring in front of Andrew, Terrance still on the floor.*

Andrew stares at his father, the slap leaving a nasty red mark across his face. The teenager puts a hand to it.

"Father.. you..hit..me.." Andrew muttered, backing away from Frith and looking at him with fear in his eyes. He tries not to cry in front of a crowd of people, but he's clearly shaken up.

*Frith was still glaring, but his face started to soften as he realized what he'd done*

I-er...

GUARDS!! *someone's shrill voice suddenly yelled, and Frith turned round just as he saw a bunch of guards rush at him and throw him on the ground. Two other guards gently picked Terrance up, while another went to check on Andrew and asked if he was ok. Frith yelped as he hit the floor, and immediately snarled, glitching messily, and tried thrashing around.*

"I-I ah.. I'm fine. Will my father be alright?" Andrew asks, concerned

*The guard looks at the injury with a concerned frown, then looks at Frith who was snarling and thrashing, but was being pulled up by a lot of guards and restrained successfully. The crowd just watched in horror, some were screaming.

The guard raised an eyebrow then looked at Andrew*

Er...he'll be taken to a cell in the temple, but he won't get the death penalty if that's what you're wondering your highness *they explained. Behind him, Leena had stepped onto the stage and was trying to calm everyone down and disburse the crowd.*

"That..Thats good that he won't be given the death penalty. How long will he be imprisoned for?" Andrew asks, watching the guards take his father away

*The guard opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Frith's angry screech as he was practically dragged away. He'd extended his wings out and thrown one of the guards into the emptying crowd, who screamed. But, the moment he heard the scream, Frith looked guilty, his ears flattening.

Ravenshark flew near Andrew and the other guard. He had a concerned frown on his face* guard, go help the crowd leave *he asked gently then gently led Andrew away* come, your highness. Let's not..see this.

Meanwhile, Darko had realized he could still hear everyone's thoughts from his prison, but his influence on everyone's minds was faint. At first he'd smiled with this discovery and heard the panic, but then looked disappointed when he realized they wouldn't hear him. Distant voices then pulled him from his thoughts and his face brightens: three demons had wandered in.*

Andrew looks at his father with concern before walking off with Ravenshark. The teenager fidgeted with his tie a little

"I hope my father will be okay.."

*With the guilt, Frith gave in and let the guards take him away, his ears flattened and his head down.

Ravenshark watched this with a blank face then blinked at Andrew* do you have a place to stay? I heard that something happened to the castle *he asked gently.

*Darko giggled quietly as he just casually approached them.* hey there, ya lost? *he called out, smiling widely. The demons were nervously talking to themselves, but stopped as Darko spoke up, and their eyes widened.*

shit...er...we didn't mean to intrude er... *one of the demons quickly muttered, already backing away*

"A lot of it was destroyed by the demon butcher. I'm scared for my cats.. I'm unsure how long repairs will take." Andrew explains, rubbing his arm

*Ravenshark nods sympathetically* I can guide you back to the castle to get them. I'll let Noctua and Katrina you'll be staying in the flying realm *he says, clearly already deciding where Andrew was going to go.

In the sky, Balto was returning and stomped onto the ground near the temple entrance and stepped in. He looked angry and his back had cactus spikes poking out. He disappeared inside, then a huge t-rex like roar erupted from him.*

At the mention of Noctua, Andrew seems a little nervous

"Oh ah, I'm sure they don't really want me around in the flying realm. I can find residence elsewhere, I have a partner, I'm sure he'll let me stay with him!" Andrew smiles, before looking over to where Balto is

"Is Balto alright?"

*Ravenshark frowns, confused* er....ok...*he clears his throat* of course! of course! Do you need help with moving? *he says quickly, then asks before looking towards the temple. He then blinked awkwardly*

Er...I'm sure he'll be fine. Just not too happy about Terrance's injuries *he said, his wings flapping* i'll follow you to the castle first to collect the cats.

no no, you're exactly where i need ya to be *Darko said with a cold smile as his tendrils appeared behind his back. The demon who was backing away started running upon seeing this, yelling for the other two to run. And they did not need to be told twice and started running in a random direction. Darko watched them for a few moments, smirking, before snarling ad chasing after them.*

"I would appreciate the help, thank you, Mr. Ravenshark." Andrew smiled politely "I'd like to check on Balto first though, if you will excuse me." He bows his head before wandering to where he heard Balto

*Ravenshark nods then bows a little, telling Andrew that he'll wait for him in the area, before going to join Leena. Inside, Balto was fuming and roaring at a cell situated, while two guards were trying to calm him down. Frith was inside the cell and had backed into the corner, cowering.*

HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?! HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!! *Balto boomed*

"..What is going on here?" Andrew asks, coming into view

*The three turn to Andrew, and the two guards bow a little while Balto huffs but goes blank when he sees Andrew. But the dragon demon stomps*

He harmed Terrance! for no reason! *he roared, pointing a flailing finger towards Frith* I DEMAND JUSTICE!

sir! you are not to harm the King! if you do, it will be seen as treason! *one of the guards snapped back confidently*

"My father was clearly not in the correct state of mind. He is already facing consequences with his imprisonment. I am certain thats enough. It was clearly wrong of him to harm Terrance, I will not deny that. But again, he is in a cell, so no further harm can be done." Andrew says sternly, keeping a calm composure once more

*Balto listened to Andrew quietly, but glared at him which slowly changed to sad anger* then what state of mind was the king in?! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM?! *Balto asks then roars again, which now got a warning spear poke from one of the guards.*

"My father updates so to speak every so often. Either due to large changes, or stress. With the demon butcher decimating our home, that stress caused him to 'update', but with the aforementioned stress, his mind was clouded and his actions were misguided. He did not intend to badly injure Terrance. That does not make it okay, but once more, he is imprisoned." Andrew stated again, keeping calm

*Balto listened, but stopped huffing as the words sink in. He's still glaring by the end of the sentence, but it's softened a little and now has conflicted feelings: he was still angry at Frith for hurting Terrance, but he now knew that Frith couldn't control himself during that time.*

during these updates, does his crazy behaviour happen often? *they asked, gritting their teeth, trying to calm down.*

"His loyalists have told me its..uncommon, but has happened before supposedly. I apologize deeply for his behaviour." Andrew replies, clearly sympathetic towards Balto

Hi bestieee its me Andrew I changed my url and themee

Hi bud!! Good to know, good to know ^^ thanks for letting me know, I probably would've gotten hella confused XD

HAHAHAHA YEAH I CONFUSED LOTS OF PEOPLE

*Terrance was inside the temple standing next to Andrew, now a little nervous: it looked like the whole kingdom, including most of the realm leaders, had gathered outside the temple front. He looked at him sympathetic*

You ready? *he asked Andrew softly*

Andrew nods, gripping the paper

"Yes.. I'm certain.."

"These sightings were of course reported, and it took the loss of many loyalists to even manage the investigation. We had to use the most utmost caution whilst he was active." Andrew answered, still calm and confident

*Terrance looked confused then worried as he saw that every demon was now frozen and it was deathly silent*

*Frith was crawling onto the platform on all fours, glaring at the two then the crowd*

"..Dad? Are you okay?" Andrew approaches catiously

*Frith glares at Andrew as he crawls past him, then looks at Terrance and runs straight for him, growling. Terrance looks confused then widens his eyes as Frith leaps onto him, his claws clutching Terrance's neck*

FRITH!....STOP!!! *Terrance tried to yell, but it was breathless as he struggled*

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"

*The fireball hit him and burnt one of his back spikes, making Frith screech. He got off Terrance, but lifted him up by the scruff of his neck and threw him towards the temple, before turning to Andrew snarling and glitching messily.

Andrew stares at his father, the slap leaving a nasty red mark across his face. The teenager puts a hand to it.

"Father.. you..hit..me.." Andrew muttered, backing away from Frith and looking at him with fear in his eyes. He tries not to cry in front of a crowd of people, but he's clearly shaken up.

*Frith was still glaring, but his face started to soften as he realized what he'd done*

"These sightings were of course reported, and it took the loss of many loyalists to even manage the investigation. We had to use the most utmost caution whilst he was active." Andrew answered, still calm and confident

Andrew looks at Terrance

*Terrance looked confused then worried as he saw that every demon was now frozen and it was deathly silent*

I'm not sure *Terrance said worried, taking a step back before looking round* Frith?...are...are you ok?

"..Dad? Are you okay?" Andrew approaches catiously

*Frith glares at Andrew as he crawls past him, then looks at Terrance and runs straight for him, growling. Terrance looks confused then widens his eyes as Frith leaps onto him, his claws clutching Terrance's neck*

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"

*The fireball hit him and burnt one of his back spikes, making Frith screech. He got off Terrance, but lifted him up by the scruff of his neck and threw him towards the temple, before turning to Andrew snarling and glitching messily.

Terrance yelped as he hit the floor hard, turning into a jellyfish as his body slumped*

"Dad. Please calm down. Its me, Andrew, your son."

*Frith snarled as he crawled upto Andrew, then stood up, looking down at him: he'd grown a little taller than before* You're also the snitch *he muttered...but he sounded hurt more than angry, which didn't match his facial expression*

"..I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about what would happen if I told Mr. Terrance. I really didn't mean to do it dad, I'm sorry." Andrew says, walking closer to Frith

*As Andrew got closer, Frith's expression went through a mixture of anger and sad betrayal* And yet, it was easy for ya *he growled quietly before looking down, his ears flattening*

"What? No it wasn't! I wasn't thinking I swear. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to.. I'll do better I swear.."

*Frith slowly looked up as Andrew was still talking, his ears flattening. He then sighed before walking upto Andrew, glitching messily...and smacked him across the face, glaring*

YA BETRAYED ME! NOW OWN YA FUCKING MISTAKE! *he screeched, his wings extending out, and his arms flailing madly...which is when the freeze stopped. And the crowd saw Frith raising his clawed hand and glaring in front of Andrew, Terrance still on the floor.*

Andrew stares at his father, the slap leaving a nasty red mark across his face. The teenager puts a hand to it.

"Father.. you..hit..me.." Andrew muttered, backing away from Frith and looking at him with fear in his eyes. He tries not to cry in front of a crowd of people, but he's clearly shaken up.

*Frith was still glaring, but his face started to soften as he realized what he'd done*

I-er...

GUARDS!! *someone's shrill voice suddenly yelled, and Frith turned round just as he saw a bunch of guards rush at him and throw him on the ground. Two other guards gently picked Terrance up, while another went to check on Andrew and asked if he was ok. Frith yelped as he hit the floor, and immediately snarled, glitching messily, and tried thrashing around.*

"I-I ah.. I'm fine. Will my father be alright?" Andrew asks, concerned

*The guard looks at the injury with a concerned frown, then looks at Frith who was snarling and thrashing, but was being pulled up by a lot of guards and restrained successfully. The crowd just watched in horror, some were screaming.

The guard raised an eyebrow then looked at Andrew*

Er...he'll be taken to a cell in the temple, but he won't get the death penalty if that's what you're wondering your highness *they explained. Behind him, Leena had stepped onto the stage and was trying to calm everyone down and disburse the crowd.*

"That..Thats good that he won't be given the death penalty. How long will he be imprisoned for?" Andrew asks, watching the guards take his father away

*The guard opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Frith's angry screech as he was practically dragged away. He'd extended his wings out and thrown one of the guards into the emptying crowd, who screamed. But, the moment he heard the scream, Frith looked guilty, his ears flattening.

Ravenshark flew near Andrew and the other guard. He had a concerned frown on his face* guard, go help the crowd leave *he asked gently then gently led Andrew away* come, your highness. Let's not..see this.

Meanwhile, Darko had realized he could still hear everyone's thoughts from his prison, but his influence on everyone's minds was faint. At first he'd smiled with this discovery and heard the panic, but then looked disappointed when he realized they wouldn't hear him. Distant voices then pulled him from his thoughts and his face brightens: three demons had wandered in.*

Andrew looks at his father with concern before walking off with Ravenshark. The teenager fidgeted with his tie a little

"I hope my father will be okay.."

*With the guilt, Frith gave in and let the guards take him away, his ears flattened and his head down.

Ravenshark watched this with a blank face then blinked at Andrew* do you have a place to stay? I heard that something happened to the castle *he asked gently.

*Darko giggled quietly as he just casually approached them.* hey there, ya lost? *he called out, smiling widely. The demons were nervously talking to themselves, but stopped as Darko spoke up, and their eyes widened.*

shit...er...we didn't mean to intrude er... *one of the demons quickly muttered, already backing away*

"A lot of it was destroyed by the demon butcher. I'm scared for my cats.. I'm unsure how long repairs will take." Andrew explains, rubbing his arm

*Ravenshark nods sympathetically* I can guide you back to the castle to get them. I'll let Noctua and Katrina you'll be staying in the flying realm *he says, clearly already deciding where Andrew was going to go.

In the sky, Balto was returning and stomped onto the ground near the temple entrance and stepped in. He looked angry and his back had cactus spikes poking out. He disappeared inside, then a huge t-rex like roar erupted from him.*

At the mention of Noctua, Andrew seems a little nervous

"Oh ah, I'm sure they don't really want me around in the flying realm. I can find residence elsewhere, I have a partner, I'm sure he'll let me stay with him!" Andrew smiles, before looking over to where Balto is

"Is Balto alright?"

*Ravenshark frowns, confused* er....ok...*he clears his throat* of course! of course! Do you need help with moving? *he says quickly, then asks before looking towards the temple. He then blinked awkwardly*

Er...I'm sure he'll be fine. Just not too happy about Terrance's injuries *he said, his wings flapping* i'll follow you to the castle first to collect the cats.

no no, you're exactly where i need ya to be *Darko said with a cold smile as his tendrils appeared behind his back. The demon who was backing away started running upon seeing this, yelling for the other two to run. And they did not need to be told twice and started running in a random direction. Darko watched them for a few moments, smirking, before snarling ad chasing after them.*

"I would appreciate the help, thank you, Mr. Ravenshark." Andrew smiled politely "I'd like to check on Balto first though, if you will excuse me." He bows his head before wandering to where he heard Balto

*Ravenshark nods then bows a little, telling Andrew that he'll wait for him in the area, before going to join Leena. Inside, Balto was fuming and roaring at a cell situated, while two guards were trying to calm him down. Frith was inside the cell and had backed into the corner, cowering.*

HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM?! HE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!! *Balto boomed*

"..What is going on here?" Andrew asks, coming into view

*The three turn to Andrew, and the two guards bow a little while Balto huffs but goes blank when he sees Andrew. But the dragon demon stomps*

He harmed Terrance! for no reason! *he roared, pointing a flailing finger towards Frith* I DEMAND JUSTICE!

sir! you are not to harm the King! if you do, it will be seen as treason! *one of the guards snapped back confidently*

"My father was clearly not in the correct state of mind. He is already facing consequences with his imprisonment. I am certain thats enough. It was clearly wrong of him to harm Terrance, I will not deny that. But again, he is in a cell, so no further harm can be done." Andrew says sternly, keeping a calm composure once more

*Balto listened to Andrew quietly, but glared at him which slowly changed to sad anger* then what state of mind was the king in?! WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM?! *Balto asks then roars again, which now got a warning spear poke from one of the guards.*

"My father updates so to speak every so often. Either due to large changes, or stress. With the demon butcher decimating our home, that stress caused him to 'update', but with the aforementioned stress, his mind was clouded and his actions were misguided. He did not intend to badly injure Terrance. That does not make it okay, but once more, he is imprisoned." Andrew stated again, keeping calm

*Terrance was inside the temple standing next to Andrew, now a little nervous: it looked like the whole kingdom, including most of the realm leaders, had gathered outside the temple front. He looked at him sympathetic*

You ready? *he asked Andrew softly*

Andrew nods, gripping the paper

"Yes.. I'm certain.."

*Terrance inhaled before gently leading Andrew out and onto the same platform where Frith had been crowned king. He took a few more steps near the front before stopping and letting Andrew walk in front of him.

The crowds were chattering to each other, unsure of the meaning of the gathering, but they all eventually quietened, all eyes on the prince.*

"Greetings to all those in attendance. You are summoned here today to here an important announcement. As to not waste any more time, I shall get straight to the point. The demon butcher has been arrested for his crimes." Andrew announces, keeping a calm and stern composure

*the crowd stayed quiet, hanging onto every word that Andrew was saying, but then the murmurs and some cheers appeared when the arrest was announced*

Wait! How can you be sure he's been imprisoned?! *one demon suddenly yelled out.

Terrance gently patted Andrew's shoulder as he stepped forward: he was happy to answer this* I can answer that. He is being held in a remote area locked away from my realm. He cannot escape and, if anyone who's unfamiliar with the area slips in, they won't know how to get out. *he answered easily and confidently.*

Andrew nodded in response to Terrance

"Yes. What Terrance says is correct. The demon butcher is no longer a threat to the safety of demonkind."

*There was a mix of reactions: some chattered loudly, more joined in with the cheering while others looked a little annoyed and waved their hands to get the prince's attention. And those voices were the loudest:*

'Why did the arrest take so long?' 'Where's the King?!' 'Why is the King not making this announcement?!'

*Terrance started to look uncomfortable at the questions, and looked at Andrew unsure of whether to answer.*

"The king had some urgent buisness to attend to, and so I am here making this announcement on his behalf. As for why the arrest took so long, the butcher simply evaded it for a while by hiding." Andrew explains, still keeping his composure calm

*At this, the noise seemed to quieten as most demons accepted his answer. A few demons even smiled at each other, commenting on how quick and confident Andrew had been*

BUT I HAVE SEEN HIM IN THE PSYCHIC REALM! *a moth-like demon with human arms and hands suddenly screamed in a slightly high pitched voice* HE WANDERED AROUND THE WOODS AND, IF YOU WERE UNLUCKY, YOU WERE TAKEN!

"These sightings were of course reported, and it took the loss of many loyalists to even manage the investigation. We had to use the most utmost caution whilst he was active." Andrew answered, still calm and confident

*The moth demon's anger started to soften and disappear as Andrew explained. its antennas drooping a little as it nodded, sympathetic and thinking about the loss in total.

Someone else asked more about the imprisonment, which Terrance answered, but the confusion and shock had visibly disappeared in the crowd, and respect had replaced it. A lot of the demons were looking at Andrew with admiration.*

But he's secured forever, he-er...hello? *Terrance said calmly, but then blinked, confused, as the demon with the question froze.*

Andrew looks at Terrance

"Whats happening?"

*Terrance looked confused then worried as he saw that every demon was now frozen and it was deathly silent*

I'm not sure *Terrance said worried, taking a step back before looking round* Frith?...are...are you ok?

*Frith was crawling onto the platform on all fours, glaring at the two then the crowd*

"..Dad? Are you okay?" Andrew approaches catiously

*Frith glares at Andrew as he crawls past him, then looks at Terrance and runs straight for him, growling. Terrance looks confused then widens his eyes as Frith leaps onto him, his claws clutching Terrance's neck*

FRITH!....STOP!!! *Terrance tried to yell, but it was breathless as he struggled*

Andrew hastily takes action, throwing a minor fireball in Friths direction in an attempt to distract him

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"

*The fireball hit him and burnt one of his back spikes, making Frith screech. He got off Terrance, but lifted him up by the scruff of his neck and threw him towards the temple, before turning to Andrew snarling and glitching messily.

Terrance yelped as he hit the floor hard, turning into a jellyfish as his body slumped*

"Dad. Please calm down. Its me, Andrew, your son."

*Frith snarled as he crawled upto Andrew, then stood up, looking down at him: he'd grown a little taller than before* You're also the snitch *he muttered...but he sounded hurt more than angry, which didn't match his facial expression*

"..I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about what would happen if I told Mr. Terrance. I really didn't mean to do it dad, I'm sorry." Andrew says, walking closer to Frith

*As Andrew got closer, Frith's expression went through a mixture of anger and sad betrayal* And yet, it was easy for ya *he growled quietly before looking down, his ears flattening*

"What? No it wasn't! I wasn't thinking I swear. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to.. I'll do better I swear.."

*Frith slowly looked up as Andrew was still talking, his ears flattening. He then sighed before walking upto Andrew, glitching messily...and smacked him across the face, glaring*

YA BETRAYED ME! NOW OWN YA FUCKING MISTAKE! *he screeched, his wings extending out, and his arms flailing madly...which is when the freeze stopped. And the crowd saw Frith raising his clawed hand and glaring in front of Andrew, Terrance still on the floor.*

Andrew stares at his father, the slap leaving a nasty red mark across his face. The teenager puts a hand to it.

Two other guards gently picked Terrance up, while another went to check on Andrew and asked if he was ok. Frith yelped as he hit the floor, and immediately snarled, glitching messily, and tried thrashing around.*

"I-I ah.. I'm fine. Will my father be alright?" Andrew asks, concerned

*The guard looks at the injury with a concerned frown, then looks at Frith who was snarling and thrashing, but was being pulled up by a lot of guards and restrained successfully. The crowd just watched in horror, some were screaming.

BUT I HAVE SEEN HIM IN THE PSYCHIC REALM! *a moth-like demon with human arms and hands suddenly screamed in a slightly high pitched voice* HE WANDERED AROUND THE WOODS AND, IF YOU WERE UNLUCKY, YOU WERE TAKEN!

"These sightings were of course reported, and it took the loss of many loyalists to even manage the investigation. We had to use the most utmost caution whilst he was active." Andrew answered, still calm and confident

*The moth demon's anger started to soften and disappear as Andrew explained. its antennas drooping a little as it nodded, sympathetic and thinking about the loss in total.

Someone else asked more about the imprisonment, which Terrance answered, but the confusion and shock had visibly disappeared in the crowd, and respect had replaced it. A lot of the demons were looking at Andrew with admiration.*

But he's secured forever, he-er...hello? *Terrance said calmly, but then blinked, confused, as the demon with the question froze.*

Andrew looks at Terrance

"Whats happening?"

*Terrance looked confused then worried as he saw that every demon was now frozen and it was deathly silent*

I'm not sure *Terrance said worried, taking a step back before looking round* Frith?...are...are you ok?

*Frith was crawling onto the platform on all fours, glaring at the two then the crowd*

"..Dad? Are you okay?" Andrew approaches catiously

*Frith glares at Andrew as he crawls past him, then looks at Terrance and runs straight for him, growling. Terrance looks confused then widens his eyes as Frith leaps onto him, his claws clutching Terrance's neck*

FRITH!....STOP!!! *Terrance tried to yell, but it was breathless as he struggled*

Andrew hastily takes action, throwing a minor fireball in Friths direction in an attempt to distract him

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"

*The fireball hit him and burnt one of his back spikes, making Frith screech. He got off Terrance, but lifted him up by the scruff of his neck and threw him towards the temple, before turning to Andrew snarling and glitching messily.

Terrance yelped as he hit the floor hard, turning into a jellyfish as his body slumped*

"Dad. Please calm down. Its me, Andrew, your son."

*Frith snarled as he crawled upto Andrew, then stood up, looking down at him: he'd grown a little taller than before* You're also the snitch *he muttered...but he sounded hurt more than angry, which didn't match his facial expression*

"..I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about what would happen if I told Mr. Terrance. I really didn't mean to do it dad, I'm sorry." Andrew says, walking closer to Frith

*As Andrew got closer, Frith's expression went through a mixture of anger and sad betrayal* And yet, it was easy for ya *he growled quietly before looking down, his ears flattening*

"What? No it wasn't! I wasn't thinking I swear. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to.. I'll do better I swear.."

*Frith slowly looked up as Andrew was still talking, his ears flattening. He then sighed before walking upto Andrew, glitching messily...and smacked him across the face, glaring*

YA BETRAYED ME! NOW OWN YA FUCKING MISTAKE! *he screeched, his wings extending out, and his arms flailing madly...which is when the freeze stopped. And the crowd saw Frith raising his clawed hand and glaring in front of Andrew, Terrance still on the floor.*

Andrew stares at his father, the slap leaving a nasty red mark across his face. The teenager puts a hand to it.

"Father.. you..hit..me.." Andrew muttered, backing away from Frith and looking at him with fear in his eyes. He tries not to cry in front of a crowd of people, but he's clearly shaken up.

*Frith was still glaring, but his face started to soften as he realized what he'd done*

I-er...

GUARDS!! *someone's shrill voice suddenly yelled, and Frith turned round just as he saw a bunch of guards rush at him and throw him on the ground. Two other guards gently picked Terrance up, while another went to check on Andrew and asked if he was ok. Frith yelped as he hit the floor, and immediately snarled, glitching messily, and tried thrashing around.*

"I-I ah.. I'm fine. Will my father be alright?" Andrew asks, concerned

*The guard looks at the injury with a concerned frown, then looks at Frith who was snarling and thrashing, but was being pulled up by a lot of guards and restrained successfully. The crowd just watched in horror, some were screaming.

The guard raised an eyebrow then looked at Andrew*

Er...he'll be taken to a cell in the temple, but he won't get the death penalty if that's what you're wondering your highness *they explained. Behind him, Leena had stepped onto the stage and was trying to calm everyone down and disburse the crowd.*

"That..Thats good that he won't be given the death penalty. How long will he be imprisoned for?" Andrew asks, watching the guards take his father away

*The guard opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Frith's angry screech as he was practically dragged away. He'd extended his wings out and thrown one of the guards into the emptying crowd, who screamed. But, the moment he heard the scream, Frith looked guilty, his ears flattening.

Ravenshark flew near Andrew and the other guard. He had a concerned frown on his face* guard, go help the crowd leave *he asked gently then gently led Andrew away* come, your highness. Let's not..see this.

Meanwhile, Darko had realized he could still hear everyone's thoughts from his prison, but his influence on everyone's minds was faint. At first he'd smiled with this discovery and heard the panic, but then looked disappointed when he realized they wouldn't hear him. Distant voices then pulled him from his thoughts and his face brightens: three demons had wandered in.*

Andrew looks at his father with concern before walking off with Ravenshark. The teenager fidgeted with his tie a little

"I hope my father will be okay.."

*With the guilt, Frith gave in and let the guards take him away, his ears flattened and his head down.

Ravenshark watched this with a blank face then blinked at Andrew* do you have a place to stay? I heard that something happened to the castle *he asked gently.

*Darko giggled quietly as he just casually approached them.* hey there, ya lost? *he called out, smiling widely. The demons were nervously talking to themselves, but stopped as Darko spoke up, and their eyes widened.*

shit...er...we didn't mean to intrude er... *one of the demons quickly muttered, already backing away*

"A lot of it was destroyed by the demon butcher. I'm scared for my cats.. I'm unsure how long repairs will take." Andrew explains, rubbing his arm

*Ravenshark nods sympathetically* I can guide you back to the castle to get them. I'll let Noctua and Katrina you'll be staying in the flying realm *he says, clearly already deciding where Andrew was going to go.

In the sky, Balto was returning and stomped onto the ground near the temple entrance and stepped in. He looked angry and his back had cactus spikes poking out. He disappeared inside, then a huge t-rex like roar erupted from him.*

At the mention of Noctua, Andrew seems a little nervous

"Oh ah, I'm sure they don't really want me around in the flying realm. I can find residence elsewhere, I have a partner, I'm sure he'll let me stay with him!" Andrew smiles, before looking over to where Balto is

"Is Balto alright?"

*Ravenshark frowns, confused* er....ok...*he clears his throat* of course! of course! Do you need help with moving? *he says quickly, then asks before looking towards the temple. He then blinked awkwardly*

Er...I'm sure he'll be fine. Just not too happy about Terrance's injuries *he said, his wings flapping* i'll follow you to the castle first to collect the cats.

no no, you're exactly where i need ya to be *Darko said with a cold smile as his tendrils appeared behind his back. The demon who was backing away started running upon seeing this, yelling for the other two to run. And they did not need to be told twice and started running in a random direction. Darko watched them for a few moments, smirking, before snarling ad chasing after them.*

"I would appreciate the help, thank you, Mr. Ravenshark." Andrew smiled politely "I'd like to check on Balto first though, if you will excuse me." He bows his head before wandering to where he heard Balto

*Terrance was inside the temple standing next to Andrew, now a little nervous: it looked like the whole kingdom, including most of the realm leaders, had gathered outside the temple front. He looked at him sympathetic*

You ready? *he asked Andrew softly*

Andrew nods, gripping the paper

"Yes.. I'm certain.."

*Terrance inhaled before gently leading Andrew out and onto the same platform where Frith had been crowned king. He took a few more steps near the front before stopping and letting Andrew walk in front of him.

The crowds were chattering to each other, unsure of the meaning of the gathering, but they all eventually quietened, all eyes on the prince.*

"Greetings to all those in attendance. You are summoned here today to here an important announcement. As to not waste any more time, I shall get straight to the point. The demon butcher has been arrested for his crimes." Andrew announces, keeping a calm and stern composure

*the crowd stayed quiet, hanging onto every word that Andrew was saying, but then the murmurs and some cheers appeared when the arrest was announced*

Wait! How can you be sure he's been imprisoned?! *one demon suddenly yelled out.

Terrance gently patted Andrew's shoulder as he stepped forward: he was happy to answer this* I can answer that. He is being held in a remote area locked away from my realm. He cannot escape and, if anyone who's unfamiliar with the area slips in, they won't know how to get out. *he answered easily and confidently.*

Andrew nodded in response to Terrance

"Yes. What Terrance says is correct. The demon butcher is no longer a threat to the safety of demonkind."

*There was a mix of reactions: some chattered loudly, more joined in with the cheering while others looked a little annoyed and waved their hands to get the prince's attention. And those voices were the loudest:*

'Why did the arrest take so long?' 'Where's the King?!' 'Why is the King not making this announcement?!'

*Terrance started to look uncomfortable at the questions, and looked at Andrew unsure of whether to answer.*

"The king had some urgent buisness to attend to, and so I am here making this announcement on his behalf. As for why the arrest took so long, the butcher simply evaded it for a while by hiding." Andrew explains, still keeping his composure calm

*At this, the noise seemed to quieten as most demons accepted his answer. A few demons even smiled at each other, commenting on how quick and confident Andrew had been*

Andrew looks at Terrance

"Whats happening?"

*Terrance looked confused then worried as he saw that every demon was now frozen and it was deathly silent*

I'm not sure *Terrance said worried, taking a step back before looking round* Frith?...are...are you ok?

*Frith was crawling onto the platform on all fours, glaring at the two then the crowd*

"..Dad? Are you okay?" Andrew approaches catiously

*Frith glares at Andrew as he crawls past him, then looks at Terrance and runs straight for him, growling. Terrance looks confused then widens his eyes as Frith leaps onto him, his claws clutching Terrance's neck*

FRITH!....STOP!!! *Terrance tried to yell, but it was breathless as he struggled*

Andrew hastily takes action, throwing a minor fireball in Friths direction in an attempt to distract him

"Fuck fuck fuck fuck-"

*The fireball hit him and burnt one of his back spikes, making Frith screech. He got off Terrance, but lifted him up by the scruff of his neck and threw him towards the temple, before turning to Andrew snarling and glitching messily.

Terrance yelped as he hit the floor hard, turning into a jellyfish as his body slumped*

"Dad. Please calm down. Its me, Andrew, your son."

*Frith snarled as he crawled upto Andrew, then stood up, looking down at him: he'd grown a little taller than before* You're also the snitch *he muttered...but he sounded hurt more than angry, which didn't match his facial expression*

"..I didn't mean to. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about what would happen if I told Mr. Terrance. I really didn't mean to do it dad, I'm sorry." Andrew says, walking closer to Frith

*As Andrew got closer, Frith's expression went through a mixture of anger and sad betrayal* And yet, it was easy for ya *he growled quietly before looking down, his ears flattening*

"What? No it wasn't! I wasn't thinking I swear. I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to.. I'll do better I swear.."

*Frith slowly looked up as Andrew was still talking, his ears flattening. He then sighed before walking upto Andrew, glitching messily...and smacked him across the face, glaring*

YA BETRAYED ME! NOW OWN YA FUCKING MISTAKE! *he screeched, his wings extending out, and his arms flailing madly...which is when the freeze stopped. And the crowd saw Frith raising his clawed hand and glaring in front of Andrew, Terrance still on the floor.*

Andrew stares at his father, the slap leaving a nasty red mark across his face. The teenager puts a hand to it.

*Frith was still glaring, but his face started to soften as he realized what he'd done*

I-er...

GUARDS!! *someone's shrill voice suddenly yelled, and Frith turned round just as he saw a bunch of guards rush at him and throw him on the ground. Two other guards gently picked Terrance up, while another went to check on Andrew and asked if he was ok. Frith yelped as he hit the floor, and immediately snarled, glitching messily, and tried thrashing around.*

"I-I ah.. I'm fine. Will my father be alright?" Andrew asks, concerned

*The guard looks at the injury with a concerned frown, then looks at Frith who was snarling and thrashing, but was being pulled up by a lot of guards and restrained successfully. The crowd just watched in horror, some were screaming.

The guard raised an eyebrow then looked at Andrew*

Er...he'll be taken to a cell in the temple, but he won't get the death penalty if that's what you're wondering your highness *they explained. Behind him, Leena had stepped onto the stage and was trying to calm everyone down and disburse the crowd.*

"That..Thats good that he won't be given the death penalty. How long will he be imprisoned for?" Andrew asks, watching the guards take his father away

*The guard opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Frith's angry screech as he was practically dragged away. He'd extended his wings out and thrown one of the guards into the emptying crowd, who screamed. But, the moment he heard the scream, Frith looked guilty, his ears flattening.

Ravenshark flew near Andrew and the other guard. He had a concerned frown on his face* guard, go help the crowd leave *he asked gently then gently led Andrew away* come, your highness. Let's not..see this.

Meanwhile, Darko had realized he could still hear everyone's thoughts from his prison, but his influence on everyone's minds was faint. At first he'd smiled with this discovery and heard the panic, but then looked disappointed when he realized they wouldn't hear him. Distant voices then pulled him from his thoughts and his face brightens: three demons had wandered in.*

Andrew looks at his father with concern before walking off with Ravenshark. The teenager fidgeted with his tie a little

"I hope my father will be okay.."
