Gyou raised an eyebrow, watching the boy use the same technique his father used. "He is already capable of that, hm?" the Wei king noted. Though it was obvious the boy was still holding back, Gyou couldn't imagine him being quite as strong as his father yet. "But another boy around my age being so strong, that's exciting," Gyou smirked. He jumped down from his cloud into the arena, clapping. He landed on his own two feet, a cloud of dust flying through the arena upon him landing. "Good job, good job new Fox king, that wasn't too bad at all. You were okay too I guess, Zhao princess. But you charged blindly without even knowing what your opponent could do, it was pretty funny!" he added, laughing.

He turned to Mei as she arrived at Atesha's side. "Ah, cmon, what's a few blows between Royals? That's why the last Fox King was so painfully weak, you know?" He flashed a wide grin, despite the implication of his statement. "Besides, it's not like he did any real damage to her. She's totally fine, lookit her."

"If I wanted your opinion, Wei King, then I would have asked for it." Mei retorted snappily, still standing before Atesha after guessing the other girl would be too proud to accept help regards to being pulled up to her feet again. "I don't care if she looks fine or not. Sparring with one another is dangerous. A simple accident that leads to one of our deaths when sparring one another is all that would be needed to spark an entire new war. Our nations wouldn't be able to take the toll of war."

Does no one accept or understand things just how easy it would be? Mei huffed irritably and threw her hands up into the air with exasperation. "But what do I know? I'm merely a princess." She added mockingly, "We're not supposed to be so well understanding about politics and other actions. Heaven forbid that we are smart!"
 
Gyou laughed heartily once again. "If our little fox king here lacked control so much, our little phoenix princess would be ripped in two. Trust me, I know," a serious look passed onto Gyou's normally perennially cheerful face for a moment before he was back to grinning like an idiot. The monkey king knew from personal experience how dangerous the technique Park had used could have been if he so desired. After all, the kid's father had tried the same thing on him.

As the princess yelled sarcastically, Gyou started laughing a bit. "You're more feisty than I heard, tiger. Maybe you're more fit to be a Wei princess," he teased. "We're all dumb and stupid here," he smiled, poking the princess in the nose.

The boy looked up to see the angel like figure above him. He was rather surprised at her appearance, he had never seen anything like it. However how you look does no always help how you fight. She seemed to agree with the fact she was not really fighting the boy properly. And just like he wanted, his words had got to her. He watched as the sword plummeted towards the boys stomach. She was definitely strong, her duo attack was a very good tactic. It seemed that the wings gave her a burst of speed as well as a flash screen that would blind the enemy.

Unfortunately she was at a rather large disadvantage. She knew nothing about the Fox kings power.

"I guess stage one will do. There is no point in an over kill is there?" he asked himself as he watched the blade make it's way for his stomach. The kick was aimed clean at his head. The Fox boy's left eye, the yellow one, seemed to change slightly. A small ring formed around it, but only for a split second, and the only person who would have been able to see the change would be his opponent.

Everything slowed down for Park il-pyo. His vision moved incredibly fast, analyzing the situation. Then he moved. He rotated his body slightly, but not too much. The blade only missing his stomach. The blinding light did not seem to affect his yellow eye. Next was the kick. Rather than trying to dodge or block, he attacked. If he had chose to do the other two he would have been hit for sure. But he was faster. His leg kicked out the girls supporting foot. She could feel her body falling. Instantly he was over her. His fist aimed for her face. But he stopped just before, letting her body fall to the ground.

The event unfold way to fast for people to believe it was true.

"Lets call it a day shall we. It seems you have more guest. I'm sure they wouldn't want to see you in such a state" Park said, standing over the girl. He did not seem normal. His presence was not monstrous, but it did show control. The aura of a true king. His yellow eye had gone back to normal, no ring was formed around it.

Atesha should have been angry, shocked, terrified, anything.. When she found herself on the ground, but instead she.. chuckled? "It seems I have never fought a real opponent. I'll figure something to do about your speed until next time, your highness. I've never seen a Gepard of your speed before. But this is not the end, I wanna continue after the conference is over. Even if I must realistically admit that my chances of winning seem slim.. I at least want to learn."

She got up without any support and shoved the fist out of her face as if it was an annoying mosquito.
Her eyes widened in disbelief when she saw the Wei king jumping down and clapping. "Uhm, welcome to the kingdom of Zhao, your high-LEAVE HER ALONE!", she snapped when he poked Mei's nose. What the hell was wrong with the new kings these days? They were all so impolite!

"Sorry for my outburst, Sir, but don't treat my friend like that.", She muttered, "I'm sure my father will be angry if he doesn't get to personally welcome you. Shall we head for the dining hall?"
 
Gyou pretended to be shocked and took a step back, raising both his hands in the air in mock surrender. "Just messin', just messin', she's already the Chu's property now anyway, ain't she?" He had heard the news from his men who actually did attend the meeting earlier. Between this fight, the sudden proposal, and who knew what else, perhaps this meeting would actually manage to provide some excitement. The Wei King actually took an interest in this event.

"No prob, Tesh," he answered casually, with that dumb grin of his. It made people wonder if he had glued the corners of his mouth upward or something. "I kinda already ate but I won't complain if your father wants to meet with me or whatever. Your kingdom, your rules," he continued. He leaned in to whisper to the Zhao princess, "Oh, and if you want to know, you won't beat that speed of his. He can perceive your every movement, and he was still holding back. He's approaching his father's strength already. Unless you were also holding something back..." The Wei King stared intently at the princess, stressing the you in his last sentence, before straightening his back again and laughing. "But you'd have to be holding back enough strength to be on par with your father to tango with him for real, so I doubt it, but it'd be a nice surprise~"
 
"So this is the monkey king" Park said as the new arrival landed. The boy seemed to ignore what the Tiger princess said to him. "I have to say I'm rather disappointed" he sighed a little as he scratched his head. "My father was weak, but I didn't think he would be killed be some like you" The Fox boy continued. "Well the past is history now" he smiled, then dismissed the Monkey king.

Park il-pyo turned his back on the king, as he faced Atesha. "I need to talk to you and your father soon, if that would be okay" he asked. Something seemed off about Park at this point. It was like he was trying to hold in something, but it wasn't rage. It was not triggered by the Monkey king, but more by the fight. However he did a good job of hiding it, whatever it was. "If possible I would also like to talk with the Dragon king" the boy added, looking over at Ryu.
 
"She doesn't belong to anyone, but herself.", Atesha snapped, turning away from the Wei king. "We should return for now. The Queen of the Eagle kingdom has arrived."

After signalling the others to follow her, she couldn't help, but smirk at the Wei king's last statement.
"Park", she spoke up slowly, not stopping her walk or even looking back. "This battle has only been paused. We will continue outside the kingdom.. There will be no need to restrict yourself. You can talk to us shortly before that."
Paperlanterns were the only light provided at this ungodly hour. Atesha pointed at a carriage. "You can pick the comfy way, but I'll be walking back." with those words, the princess walked off into the dim lights of the eerie streets.
The butler next to the carriage opened the door inviting.

-----

"Sir, the Eagle kingdom and the Wei kingdom have arrived.", a butler informed the Zhao king. The man seemed surprised as it was already late, but smiled at the news nonetheless.

The clicking of her heels on his marble floor caught his attention. "It is a pleasure to greet you in my hall, your grace.", he said, smiling politely and offering her a seat. "The others will join us shortly."
 
"Hoho, the baby fox already has fangs," Gyou remarked, an edge in his voice. The playful tone he'd taken with the two princesses was gone. "Big words, I do hope you can back them up. I can see it in your eyes, you know battle very well. You should know a man changes greatly while in combat," the Wei King's eyes narrowed, his grin dropping to a neutral face, or perhaps even a frown. Though Gyou did take solace in the fact that the boy didn't seem to care for revenge. That would make the new king much more interesting. Angry, revenge driven men were such a bore.

Even as he spoke with Park, he noticed Atesha smirking. Intrigued, Gyou broke off the conversation with the Fox King, though the boy seemed done with him too anyway. "Aah, I spent the whole way here sitting on my cloud, I'd rather walk with ya, if you don't mind," Gyou answered, his playfulness and cheer returning. He seemed to skip along next to the princess.
 
The Fox king walked towards one of the carriages. "I'll take the comfy route he said as he stepped inside, closing the door behind him. The carriage began to set of back to the meeting place. Once they were ahead, and out of view of the others Park bought his hand up to his mouth. He coughed a little and droplets of blood smeared over his hand. "Damn you old man" he said to himself, looking at the blood he had just coughed up. He slumped back in the carriage and waited to arrive.

Park il-pyo got there before the others. He had cleaned up the mess on his hands. The moment he arrived he made his way to where the remaining kings weree. "Phoenix king, may I talk to you in private" he asked, with a small bow
 
(last reply for the next one and a half hours... Probably.)

When Faust was requested a private conversation by Park, he seemed surprised, but nodded. Assigning a few butlers and maids to serve and entertain the remaining kings, he lead Park to what looked like the king's private little library and office. Then he leaned back on his desk and turned to Park, worry in his eyes. "What bothers you, son?", he asked, assuming that he could be on a little more private terms now.

------

"So you've decided to walk.. Interesting. I haven't caught your name, king of Wei.", she said.
 
The tiger form of her eyes burned brightly and a small snarl slipped past her lips, "I am no one's property. I am not a thing can objectify." She ground out, unsure as to how the Wei King could annoy her so. Perhaps because of his arrogance and lack of care. Mei suddenly began to wonder just how much longer she had to stay with her father. The Monkey and Fox kings were just asking for trouble.

Spinning on the ball of her foot, she left the arena to take another carriage to the meeting place. There was no way in hell that she was going to share one with the Fox King. Along the way back, she willed ger tigress eyes to fade and for her human ones to return...couldn't have her father seeing how close she was to losing it.
 
"Heh, sitting makes me wanna take a nap. And I'm Gyou Kung. I already caught your name from my assistants, but feel free to introduce yourself anyway," he smiled.

---

As Mei rode back, the carriage stopped for another girl with long, black hair. She climbed into the carriage, sitting opposite Mei. Once the carriage started moving, she bowed her head a little. "Please excuse our Wei kingdom's king's rudeness."
 
"From my fight with your daughter I understand that the Phoenix nation are people of life" the boy began as he took a seat opposite the other king. He admired the size of the private library. "To keep things short, I need curing" the boy cut straight to the point. He wasn't really in the mood for idle chit chat at this point. He wanted to have his body fixed. It had been 10 years since he could properly use his skills.

Park looked at Faust with serious eyes, "As you know, the Fox kingdom decides its heir to the throne through a test. And you might remember that I was not my fathers only son." the boy started. "During the test I killed my brothers, seizing the right to be the next king. However my father was not pleased with the skills I used, maybe even scared of them" the boy told him, this would have been new news to any king. As the old Fox king was not the kind of person to be scared easily.

The Fox king had collected his kimono before he had left. He removed it again, revealing his scared body. "My father used an unknown form of acupuncture on me the day after the exam, in a sparing match" he pointed at several small scars, only needle prick size. They were obviously positioned in specific places, mainly aimed around the joint. As well as several down the center of his chest. "I am unsure of what they are but the have hinder my ability massively, this is why I have been training in martial arts" the boy explained, putting back on his kimono and sitting down. "So, can you help sure my body?" the boy asked, his voice seemed to have changed from his normal and cocky way of speaking. It was clear ti Faust that the boy wanted help.
 
"Since you already know my name, I see no reason to reintroduce myself. If you wouldn't mind, can you tell me about the battle between your and Park's predecessors?", she asked, genuine curiosity in her voice. "What was the source of the conflict?"

-----------

Faust got on his feet properly and came a little closer to Park, lowering his entire upper body to get a better view of the scars.
"... He's learned this from me.", the king muttered to himself quietly. After a short inspection, he said, "Though it's not an impossible task, interrupted energy flow like in your case can't be fixed over night. I would say it takes me three days to heal you. Until then.. I would disrecommend fighting. Tell me when you're ready, I won't ask anything for the treatment. Just.. How could one do this to their own son? Fear shouldn't have been enough...", the king mumbled deep in thought.
 
"Don't worry I was fully aware this would take some time. But i didn't think you would be able to fix it so quickly" The boy said, relief in his voice. His face fell at after being told not to fight whilst he was being fixed. "I will do my best" he said, a smile appearing on his face. "Maybe you will understand, once the seal has been removed" the boy shrugged, getting up out of his seat. "Well shall we go back, I do not want to separate you from your guests" he smiled walked to the door.

"It is possible that I'll pass your healing to my daughter as she is better at healing humans than me. We shall plan the details later.", with these words, the king nodded to his young fellow king's suggestion and lead the two back to the dining hall where the rest had apparently arrived and taken a seat around the table again. He whispered something into his daughter's ear when only few were looking.
Ateshas eyes widened and she looked at Park, then back at her father, mouthing something like, "are you serious? He was fighting me with interrupted Energyflow?!"
 
"I don't mind who heals me, as long as I can use my body properly after this" he said, smiling again as they left the room. The Fox king took his original seat at the table, the same one he had before. It looked like most of the Kings and Queens had arrived at this point in time. Obviously people were going to start getting serious about ideas. The war had been going on for a long time now, but it didn't look like it was going to stop.

Park il-pyo just leaned back in his chair. He didn't really have anything to say anymore, so he just waited for the others to talk. He smiled over at Ateshas as her father whispered, what he was guessing was about Parks condition, into her ear.
 
The Zhao princess hadn't seen this one coming. Park was lucky to still be alive as stored up power could lead to death, in most cases after a few months already. She could only assume that the method had been used incompletely on him or that he had an inhumanly robust body.

------

"Now that the majority has arrived, we can start to finally get to the subject, ladies and gentlemen.", Faust declared.

(Talking about a war, who is fighting who and why btw?)
 
(The clicking of her heels on his marble floor caught his attention. "It is a pleasure to greet you in my hall, your grace.", he said, smiling politely and offering her a seat. "The others will join us shortly."
Scelesta, was that towards me?

Also, are we all currently in the meeting room? )

The Queens eagle softly touched the ground first, but she was the last one to touch the ground. The Queen eyed the surroundings around her. In a few moments a hand was extended to her by one of her men and she accepted it, gracefully coming down from her eagle. The servants of Phoenix came running towards her right away. ''Your Grace. The meeting has already started. But if you wish to settle down first, we will escort you to your room?'' The four men bowed. The Queen nodded to them, greeting them. Her pale hand petted her beloved eagle. She had eyes only for the beast. ''If only a feather falls off of them by mistake, I will personally see that you are properly punished.'' The men nodded with a soft, ''Yes your Grace.'' They didn't dare to ask for an answer to their question. The Queen turned to the palace. ''Good.'' She said satisfied.

Her blue, high heels started moving, and the five men that came into this Kingdom with her followed. The servants around the front garden whispered, watching her. She could have only imagined what they were whispering. Murderer. Traitor. Brother slayer.

''A very fancy courtyard, I must say.'' The Hand of The Queen, Ser Donis spoke to his queen.

''Pft. I've seen better.'' She responded, earning a small smirk from her first man.

The giant, golden doors opened, and she was escorted into the meeting room by some more of Phoenix servants. Her men were looking around the palace with great interest, but her eyes never left her front. ''Four at the gates. Ser Donis, follow me.'' She commanded simply and the four of her men stayed around the gates of the meeting room, The Queen walking into the room only with Her Hand. The room went silent, and The Queen didn't know to be happy or not about arriving among the last.

The Queen stopped at the entrance and The Hand of The Queen spoke in an instant. ''Dezire Li Han, Second of her name, The Queen of the Han Kingdom, Rightful ruler of the Han land and all the sky it touches, The Great Savior. '' With that Ser Donis bowed to all the royals around the table and proceeded to stand by a near wall. The Zhao king was the first to speak. "It is a pleasure to greet you in my hall, your grace.", he said, smiling politely and offering her a seat. "The others will join us shortly."

The Queen nodded, giving him a small courtesy. So she wasn't the last to come. ''Thank you, Your Grace.'' Then she proceeded to courtesy to one side of the table, then the other. ''Your hignesses.'' Every movement was filled with great grace and poise, her face giving away no emotion what so ever. With the formal greeting she took a seat at the table. Her head high, her back straight. She sat at the end of the table, across the King of Zhao. Here she will have best view of everyone.
