Chapter 2: the royal family
Lyle entered the castle with the infant, still unsure how to handle the situation. He went up to his mother, queen Nomaderia 'nomad' Pearson to ask her what he should do. Upon entering the throne room, she smiled softly at her son and saw he had succeeded in his mission to get the child away from Jasper.
"How dont know how you always do it mom, but that was another prediction turned true... Seriously how did you know that jasper would be at the hospital and that she would be after inferno since he was a hybrid mix?" Lyle asked and handed her Inferno.
"It's a gift... Now as for the boy... I had another prediction appear and I think we cannot adopt him, it seems to me he might have something special in the future relating to another child... And it is one you love so dearly." She told Lyle.
"Oh don't tell me it's Chris." He said, getting worried about the thought of Chris being put in the line of war thanks to a child that no one knew existed except nomad and Jasper's lord Octavious.
Just then, the said child entered the throne room, a two year two year old fox kit, he had his mothers green eyes and the fur color of his mother as well, but one thing that was different was he had wings, black ones that matched his father Johns appearance. He was the child born of John Alexander and Nomad Pearson, and he was called 'the one to save the land.' Chris toddled up to Lyle and looked at him; seeing inferno opened his bright red eyes.
"Who that?" He said quietly, he was a shy child who didnt speak out to much, but nomad always assured the family he would grow to be a strong ruler and one who wasn't so quiet and afraid to speak up.
"This, kiddo, is Inferno J Adams, he is going to stay here while we work stuff out to keep him from harm, thanks to jasper." Lyle said.
He growled hearing the name Jasper, he may have been two but he knew very well who that monster was and what she did. He looked at inferno with soft eyes, the eyes of one who would protect and love a person, nomad was correct in saying that Chris would grow into a relation with Inferno, as his best friend and guardian.
"I have idea!" Chris said child like and ran out of the room as quick as his young paws would take him, he seemed really excited about his idea.
Moments later he returned with a lion who looked to be no older than sixteen; but that was very much not the case. This was Eric, he was a lion soldier in Nomads army, she considered him the god father of her kids had anything had become of her and John. Chris giggled happily as he entered with the lion.
"He be with him." Chris said to them happily.
"He has a good idea and it doesn't seem to wrong... Eric you don't mind raising Inferno do you?" Nomad said looking at the young looking lion man.
"A child huh? That's a first for me but I will take him, anything for my favorite lady in the kingdom." He said, he always acted out as a older brother to Nomad, which was what they were like since Eric also protected her when she was little.
Eric took Inferno into his arms and smiled "he is a very handsome child, he really does look like that lady Alison of the other kingdom..... Wait..." He said realizing that was who he was, the child of the dead woman.
Nomad sighed as they left and sat back in her throne. Up walked a young woman who was a pure maiden and servant of Nomad, her name was Namuna. She was Johns daughter but as she got older felt she couldn't call herself the princess. She still showed her love to her father and always called him that, but would rather be considered a healer of the army rather than the princess. She hugged he mom smiling "Hello Mother."
"Oh Namuna." She hugged the girl "it always makes me happy to see your beautiful young face around here, I heard the good news about you becoming a Wynder, I'm so proud."
A Wynder was a type of healer who was of top class and skill, also could only be awarded to one who was pure and not have any evil within her, which was what Namuna really was, a true saint. "Yeah, when master Arino told me, I was so excited, I had to rush here and tell you, but I guess you knew."
Arino, a black wolf with orange streaks, ran in panting "lady Namuna, please don't ask me to accompany you somewhere than start running, I'm not as young as I used to be you know."
"I know, you're a old bag of bones you old man." She teased and went to him "now the other reason why I'm here is because... Mother, Arino and me are getting married."
"Oh... But the age different is almost nine whole years, don't you think that is quite a big gap?" She asked them, but smiled nonetheless, "but if you really want to, I am behind you all the way, but I don't know if your father would agree?"
"Agree with what?" A voice rang as a black Gator male with wings and the eyes of a dragon entered the throne room. This was John Alexander-Pearson, he was the king of the kingdom and the father of Lyle, Chris and namuna. He was a good man and loved his people and his kids greatly, but was not a fighter so during wars he stayed back and left his stronger, more battle born wife take his place in fights.
"My lord." Arino bowed to him and was a bit nervous to give the news. "I have asked your daughter to take my hand in marriage, and we have come to share the news with you, in hopes that you would do us the honors of giving the ceremony of marriage." He said looking him right in the eye. (The royal family had a different form of marriage than most places)
"You are very prepared for this aren't you? Able to come and look the king in the eyes and give this news." He smiled softly "I respect that, I will be honored myself to do the ceremony for my daughter and her new husband, now go off you two silly kids and I will prepare your wedding." He sent them off smiling.
Nomad stood by her husband and smiled "we have such a wonderful family don't we?"
"Yes... We do don't we." John said with a smile, hugging his wife close.
