violent collision [Nemesis]

[attr="class","pltxt"]
It had been some time since Sethos had settled into their new home, and Król had been determined to keep Sethos from losing their grip on these lands almost as soon as they had settled into them. Between patrolling around, laying down scent markers to firmly establish that this land was theirs now (with the permission of Saul and Far, of course) and chasing off any loners that thought it a wise decision to linger in areas that were no longer theirs, and the Tundra brute was quite thoroughly exhausted by the time his travels finally took him in the direction of Turxos Creek, letting his tongue loll from his mouth in an exaggerated pant as he drew nearer to the water's edge. His paws sinking into the wet sand lining the creek's banks, Król lowered his muzzle and eagerly began to lap up what little running water the stream possessed, lifting his head as soon as he had had his fill to watch the droplets take a suicide plunge off of his fiery orange muzzle and back into the water below.

Very little water ran through this environment, and the only source of it for miles around was barely even a trickle in comparison to the mightier bodies of water strewn about Anikira. Any living thing that wished to make a home in these lands had to fight for every second of their survival, for hesitating or making the wrong decision would lead to almost certain death. Xisyn was beautiful but rugged, a cruel environment with even crueler inhabitants. Saul couldn't have picked a better territory for Sethos to make its home in, and Król had never been more proud of his King's judgement.

Lowering himself into a seated position so as to take the weight off of his aching limbs, the Tundra brute stared across the flowing water, his thoughts turning to another matter entirely- Nemesis, the chestnut-colored bitch that he had claimed as part of his harem once they had arrived back on the Anikiran mainland. Quite frankly, he wasn't sure what had possessed Saul to put the two of them together. Of course he was probably the one most qualified to teach the little whore some much-needed manners, but as far as forming a relationship with her went, Król couldn't see the two of them becoming fast friends. They couldn't be more different if they tried- he was large and muscular, while she was small and delicate, he was fire and brimstone while she seemed to possess a quieter and deadlier kind of anger. Add that to the fact that she willingly chose to linger around her absolute weakling of a sister, and Król didn't exactly hold the bitch in high regard.

The feeling seemed to be mutual on her end, for Nemesis seemed to absolutely detest about half of Sethos' current ranks. Which was just fine with Król, if he had to be perfectly honest. Let the pathetic waste of air blindly worship him or absolutely hate his guts. What did he care? As far as the Tundra brute was concerned, she was just another face in the crowd, just another body to ravage and manipulate as he saw fit. He'd fucked plenty of other females who had detested him, after all, and it took much more than insults spat out through gritted teeth to phase him these days. He cared not what she thought of him- she was his slave, his to do with as he saw fit, his to command. She would do whatever he asked of her, or face the potential consequences. And if Nemesis was foolish enough to try rising against him, he would have no qualms with striking her down. There were bound to be other females out there that were worthy of his attention, after all.

A rustling in the undergrowth was quick to distract Król from his thoughts. Heaving himself into a stand and spinning towards the source of the noise with teeth bared, the Tundra brute faltered slightly as the familiar form came into view, his expression slowly warping into a cold sneer. "The bitch reveals herself," he lazily drawled, drawing up alongside her as his tail gave a lazy flick behind him. "Well, my pet? Have you finally decided to start showing respect towards those more powerful than you, or do you need another lesson?"
