As Hydra came to, her paws felt the rough fur of the one who carried her. Her body laid across the back with her longer legs scratching at the path below. “And here I thought I was being carried by a nice strong pokemon...” She grumbled awake as her feet started trying to stand on their own.
King caught on, his back lowered slightly and he slid his tails out from under her legs, “Sorry to disappoint lady Hydra, it seems Grail took his own way back with Apollo.” A sat ahead of her on the path watching her legs wobble slightly as she stretched and took a few steps.
She had hardly enough energy to walk much less lift her tails that dragged across the dusty path. She started blinking her blurry eyes up at the night sky, the stars not as great as when they were at the festival. “Hmm... the kid is going to be scared of me for a while isn’t he?”
“It’s... possible considering he didn’t want to join us back to the tower.” A slight frown crossed Hydra’s face as she tried to focus on the stars. King paused for a moment glancing up at the stars with her. “I’m just glad he’s okay after running off like that. Who knows what could’ve been lurking in that forest.”
“Heh, glad you were worried sick about me.” Her familiar grin return as she returned her gaze on King. He smirked and open his maw to speak again, but before he could Hydra looked past him. “King, who are they?” Two shadow’s of Ninetales approached, their tales fanned out behind them.
“Our intimidation tactics, they’re here for me... or us.” King stood facing the shadows that approached with his ears listening to each of their steps, ready to move in case he was wrong.
One spoke up, his deeper voice telling of his older age. “High Lord King, Lady Hydra; we’re here to escort you back to the tower on order of the High Lords.”
King sighed, an acknowledging nod had them on their way again as the two guards split; one in front of the two and one in back. “If they sent two burned out soldiers for us; how many do you think they sent for Grail?” Hydra didn’t answer, her worried look returned as she focused on her walking.
