"Ragaa! Queen Iciana wants you!"
Ragaa shook with terror. She knew she shouldn't show fear before her queen, but facing her queen after such a defeat was terrifying. Not like Queen Iciana would notice. She was devoid to others emotions. She cared only about herself, her son Cyber, and dominating the world. Ragaa walked in to the great hall where Queen Iciana sat. Beside her throne was a Ryori, in chains. Ragaa's heart leaped into her chest. It was a turnpaw! The tribe had suspected him for many months, but she had never thought Queen Iciana would do anything about it. She wished that the queen hadn't. She had developed a fondness for him, his name was Gutro. Queen Iciana now rose.
"Do you know this turnpaw Ragaa?"
Queen Iciana looked demanding and drew herself up to her full height, which was terrifying.
"Of course not Your Majesty. I do not dwell with those so low as to betray their own tribe."
She deliberately faced Queen Iciana and avoided looking at Gutro, who she could tell was pleading with his eyes. Cyber hissed under his breath.
"Doubtful."
Queen Iciana turned her cold eyes on him and motioned for him to be quiet. He glared defiantly but stopped talking for once. Queen Iciana motioned with one paw. Two Ryori guards, Ragaa knew them as Triis and Uyttra, two of her fathers high-ranked friends, pulled him away. They had grown up with her. They were one of the only Ryoris that could, as her father believed in not mixing royals with lesser-ranking Ryoris. Ragaa turned to leave when Queen Iciana's cold voice cut through the air.
"Wait a minute Ragaa."
Ragaa turned.
"Yes Your Majesty?"
Queen Iciana signaled with her tail, her father came in, wrapped in a cloak of ethereal essence.
"I do not blame you for todays defeat. But make sure it doesn't happen again."
She signaled for Ragaa to leave, and as she left, she heard her father and Queen Iciana conversing in hushed voices.

Gutro whipped his tail, hissing violent curses under his breath. He knew Ragaa didn't have the ability to talk with him, she was so high-ranked she would be noticed immediately. He just didn't understand Queen Iciana's crazy notions. As he was fretting about his problems, a dark red Ryori, his tail purple, stepped in. Ethereal ribbons were wrapped around his body like he was a king awaiting burial. He stopped at Gutro's cell and snarled under his breath.
"Leave my daughter alone, or you will pay dearly!"
He bared fangs and with a quick paw swipe, Gutro saw stars and passed out.
Gutro awoke in a concrete chamber, a blue Ryori was sitting there, in cyberpunk armor.
"What do you want?"
Gutro hissed. The other Ryori smiled maliciously, his fangs gleaming in the light.
"I am Prince Cyber, and I want you to pay for the crimes you have committed against our tribe."
He swiped a claw down the side of Gutro's face and Gutro screamed in pain. Cyber smiled again, flicking his tail happily, like he was a youngling playing with a dead Zolnixi.
Ragaa felt the pain before she heard the screams. She heard Cyber laugh and then screams. She felt sick, her head spinning. Her father rushed in, hearing her cry out.
"What is it my darling?"
He looked genuinely sad and Ragaa quickly came up with a lie.
"I think I ate something that disagreed with me."
Her father looked concerned, as if that didn't sound accurate enough for him, but he let her lie on a cushion of moss and weeds and went to catch a Zolnixi for her to eat. She carefully lay down and smiled, satisfied with coming up with another lie.

Ragaa was pacing the front lines, her tail flicking wildly, when the first news came.
"Xian has fallen!"
Ragaa's head jerked up in a motion unbefitting someone of her status. Xian was that capitol city of Ryoriian, and where she resided. And where the Royale Dungeons were. Ragaa ran. Her paws pounded the ground beneath her feet. Her mind was a blur, one word throbbing through it. Gutro. She ran past warriors gaping and managed to snarl out,
"Xian has fallen! Defend Queen Iciana or die!"
The warriors regained composure and rushed to aid the capitol city. Ragaa seemed to fly over the ground, her paws gliding, two guards at her heels. They rushed to the city gates. Ragaa could smell smoke and almost taste the fear in the air. She whipped her head around and hissed,
"Fan out and find the queen and Prince Cyber. That is our first priority."
She headed for the castle, now a pile of smoking ruins. Ragaa sniffed the air. It smelled of Luffoxes. She wrinkled her nose. No doubt they had used smoke weapons which they were so good at creating. Ragaa heard her best friend, Silen, cry out in pain. Silen lived in the palace and was Ragaa's dearest friend. Ragaa rushed up broken stairs, trying to avoid any holes. She raced up to see Silen under attack from a Luffox waving a burning branch crazily. Ragaa flew at him, her paws scrambling to scrape against his fur. She snarled at him and blew out his branch. The Luffox froze, his tail flicking, and then ran the opposite direction of the throne room.
"Come on! We have to find Queen Iciana!"
You could hear the pitter-patter of their paws on the marble as they raced up another flight of stairs.

Ragaa flew up the stairs. As much as she loved Gutro, her queen was more important, right?
What would Gutro do for me?
Ragaa whipped her head around.
"Silen! Go find the queen, I'll be right back! I think Prince Cyber is still in the dungeons!"
Ragaa raced down the stairs while a bewildered Silen continued running up the stairs. Ragaa made her way to the dungeons and saw Prince Cyber buried under a pile of rubble, knocked unconscious. She carried him up the stairs, where guards rushed him away. She then found the key to Gutro's cell and let him out.
"Go. we can't be together, but I'm not heartless. Go."
Gutro flashed her a shimmering smile, slashed a cut down her leg, and said with a dashing grin,
"Playing girls is so easy. A charming smile and some quiet words and they're twirled around your finger."
She ran out of the dungeons and raced back up to where Silen was pounding on the door to the queen's room, her mind spinning. Ragaa grabbed the nearest hammer from a vanity dresser and smashed the door down. As they broke in, they saw Queen Iciana snarling, surrounded by Zolnixis of all kinds. Ragaa leapt into the melee, her paws flashing, her fangs pushing out and digging into flesh. As she leaped high into the air, she could see Silen fighting a huge lilac Zolnixi, her tail whipping behind her. Queen Iciana had regained her strength and was fighting the Zolnixi general in wild paw-to-paw combat. Ragaa pushed her lavender opponent out of the way and felt a push-pull of forces inside of her. In one huge surge of anger, she summoned a binding. She threw it into the melee and the Zolnixis were pushed back and trapped against the wall. Queen Iciana almost screamed.
"A sorceress."
SIlen's mouth was hanging open, like she had just experienced something odd. Ragaa felt strangely at ease and calm, and she walked out of the room, two Ryoris gaping at her the entire time.

Ragaa felt calm and collected. She walked home to her father, who burst into tears of pure joy as she walked through the door. Ragaa embraced him and her father did something that only the queen usually did. He wrapped her in jewels and slender chains, marking her as the first sorceress in years.
"Go."
He whispered in her ear and as she heard a crowd gathering, Ragaa stepped outside into the bright sunlight. The purple jewels caught the light and made her shimmer like a regal diamond. The Ryori mob pushed closer, cheering. Ragaa stepped up beside her queen. Queen Iciana stood there, tall and magnificent, beaming proudly. She finally spoke,
"Shh.Shh."
As the crowd quieted, she spoke in her crystal-clear, commanding tone.
"Ragaa was a lieutenant in the grand Ryori Armee. She showed bravery and strength. She showed her skills as the first Ryori Sorceress in 15 decades since Thoreau the Wise died in the Battle of the Golden Prism. I am proud to present her with the honor of marrying my son, Prince Cyber, and inheriting the throne."
The crowd roared. Ragaa get very overwhelmed. She saw Cyber smiling at her, a true, kind smile that lit up his face.
He really loves me.
And then she thought of Gutro, buying freedom by loving her. Her eyes narrowed and she walked up to her queen.
"Your Majesty, I cannot believe the responsibility and choice you trust in me, your loyal warrior until the end. I accept this role, and all the risks that come with it. I am forever in your debt."
And with this, she and Cyber walked into the gates of the palace reserved for reigning royalty, tails entwined in brutal harmony.

Ragaa was sleeping when she heard the call to battle. She arose from her sleep and donned her battle armor. Flicking her tail, she raced out the window of her room, calling upon the air to lift her to the battlefield. Ragaa almost screamed in laughter. The Zolnixis were attacking, but the Ryoris were so much stronger, it was hardly a fight at all. Ragaa rose above the battle like a god, calling upon thunder and lightning to aid her. At the crash of the lightning, the Zolnixis looked up in terror at Ragaa floating above them. She looked like the goddess of death, Zulom, come down from Heaven to take their lives. The remaining Zolnixis fled, but the Ryoris caught them with almost invisible chain-link nets that had been woven to trap Zolnixis especially. As the Ryoris caught and chained the rest of the Zolnixis, one Zolnixi, with a bleeding scar down his face, hissed at her in a way she almost considered flirting. She turned away, but not before he hissed in her ear,
"My name is Huron."
She turned and considered him for a moment, then flicked her whip-like tail in his face.
"I don't care about you, scum."
She turned again and stalked back to the palace, his words still ringing in her ears.
