Malik nodded a bit at Piper.
"It's two thirty in the afternoon."
Then a nod at Moonstone.
"Sounds interesting. I'm going to enjoy that. not to mention dominating all of them, especially that particular guard. arrogant human."
Onyx nodded at Bode.
"Sure can. We'll get some form Piper's place. the bad people promised not to touch you on thier words. and if they don't keep thier word, I'll gut them and eat them for dinner and get you something else."
A chuckle and a glance at Malik and Moonstone.
"So I get a shot at beating both of you with a wooden sword? how great is that. And I got a bone to pick with that guy too. Save me a peice of him."

A glance at both of them. "I think I'll get stabbed in the first minute, just to avoid any more of your insults." Several pairs of eyes were watching them. Perhaps it was not normal for Piper and Malik to have casual conversations with winged cats. He smelled something familiar and frowned in annoyance. "Excuse me a moment, won't you?" He walked off a short ways, intercepted the one that he didn't really want to see here.
"Is it wrong to assume that you are searching for me?"
"No. That would be correct."
"All right. Why?"
The king was not impressed with my return. He believes the Purians are hostile, and did therefore expected that the three of us would be killed."[/red]
"And why does the king keep thinking this?"
"He beggins to believe his own lies, he has spoken them so much.
'What's you're point?"
"My point is that the king is getting sick of seeing his...reputable gaurds lose every year. They are enhanced this year. With magic."
He sneered. "You're magic?"
"The king does not trust me without good reason. He used me last year, and lets just say his gaurds could not find their way out of the bathroom.
"OKay...then what?"
"I am not positive in the wizard ir witch that he chose for the job. Therefore I can not accuratly predict the outcome. But I know that the magic was not cast on the person, rather an item the is placed on his body somewhere."
"Thanks for the heads up. But why are you telling me?"
Warren smiled. "The Purians have large wagers running on you and your brother." And with that, he left.
Moonstone sighed.
"Yay! Food!" She was not certain the last time she had eaten, but it had been a while. "I've never had guts before, what are they like?"

Esmeralda seemed to have lost herself amongst the crowd there and the tournament. She had lost her two travelling companions sometime ago, not shortly after they met Piper and Malik. Esmeralda like her late father and even her adoptive mother was a major wandering spirit and hand done so this time as well. She had made her through the town countless times, since it was a tournament afterall, merchants from all the cities flock here to try and sell there goods, and Esmeralds was not one to miss up a chance to get a little shopping, she had last herself in that last endevour for what seemed like day, althoug Esmeralda was sure that it was more like hours. I her wandering she ended up spotting the twins, which was were she now made her way to, she approached the group with a huge smile, a little winded from her exploits. "You two are defiantely the hard group to find, I take it that your competing in the tournament?" SHe asked with a bit of a puzzled look on her face.

Moonstone, apon returning to the group. gave everyone a scan. "Yes, I suppose that we are all competing. Are you showing up for the ceremony tonight? Or are you going to bypass the...festivities of cutting each other down with wooden swords?"

Esmeralda threw her arm gently around Moonstone and gave the gentle giant a tender smile. "Frankly dear, I am not sure, I have not had a fight since I used to spar with Don Elias, and I am afterall his daughter and so I do love fights." She giggled and shrugged, "I might I might not, that depends on how much I want to run around like a five yeard old with a wooden sword. I think that I may sit this one out, I am not much of a fighter anyway." She answered softly witha a gentle smile on her face.

"Not one for fights? I don't seem to remeber anthing like that, in our younger days." He put a paw over her hand, returning the friendly greeting. "Infact, if my memorie is intake, you used to fight with me all the time, and win too."
He smiled. "Come if you can. It'll be fun." He put a hand to his mouth, speaking into Emmie's ear. "These two," a glance towards his brother and malik, "are gonna look funny hacking at each other with wooden swords. I'm in it for the show."

Esmeralda placed her hand delicately over her full red lips and laughed, "Well, Moonstone dear, I keep telling you the only way that you are going to be beat a Capoiera fighter is if you can dance, and sorry little cousin but you have two left paws." she giggled once more, at the comment about Malik and her bother, and whispered her own responce. "Yeah those two are going to be fun to watch, maybe I should join in, just for that." she said, "Besides I could almost see my dad up there, leaning on his black cane, you know the one with the silver snake's head, that he always had." At this point she tried to immidate her father's posture, movements, and that voice of a nagging father that he had in life. "Now you get in there and beat them, and do it with finess, there is no way in all of Mitzlan that I am going to let my bloodline loose a fight." She then pretended to be smoking on her father's cigars. "Something like that." She giggled.

Moonstone nodded. "Yeah, then he'd kick my tail for even thinking of challenging you." He shook his head. "Fathers." Which made him think of his own. He was not all that certain that Cymarron would enjoy his sons fighting in an arena. it might bring back painful memories, and aweful fears.
"Either way, it will fun." Moonstone's voice turned low. "Just watch your back. Not everybody is playing fair, this tournament."

Esmeralda shrugged once more, "It is one of the reasons that I am not to passionate of wanting to enter this tournament. I was under the impression that magic wasn't allowed here, and someone here is giving out some major magic vibes." she shrugged once more. "You know the old expression magic, recognizes its own, although my powers are still very young compared to those that my father once had I can still sense when someone else is using it." Esmeralda said, "So don't worry I'll protect you." She said as he laid a kiss on the gentle Vah's forehead.

"There are lots of people who use magic here. It could be anybody you are feeling. And no, magic is not allowed. Whcih means someone is cheating. I know who, but I don't know how." He snickered when she "promissed" to protect him. And blushed a little under his fur when she kissed his forehead. He was getting used to that though.
"Warren seems to think the magic is pretty powerful. But it's not recognizable as outward magic."

Esmeralda giggled again as she saw the reaction on Moonstones face as she kissed him on the forehead. "Awww, still can't over how cute you look when you're all embressed, and to think I used to bathe your naked little behind." She laughed covering her face delicarely as she always did, a trait that she had picked up from her Mother Nailah, not to mention her abnormal love of cheesecake but that was a story for another time. "Yeah, this place is far more dangerous that I first thought when I came here, and here I was looking for some little R&R from my world hoopinhg travels." She said as she placed her hands on her hips.
((Hello Rand!, Long time no write huh? Well now it is time for me to go, I don't know if I can make it own later tonight might have to to go Mexico to visit the family, but if I have a chance I will surely spend it here, for oce, bye nad much love))

Moonstone gave an embarrassed grin. Hooyah. "Yes well, make sure you stay out of trouble Emmie," he mussed her hair. "Wouldn't want to see you get damaged before you get married." A little joke he would play with her, since she was still single.
((It was good to see you Elias. Have fun, whereever you are!))

Malik shrugged lightly and turned from the rest, heading back to the inn and noting the daughter of the Aztec. Let her compete, go right ahead. he'd make sure she was one of the first to fall, personally. But wooden swords. bah. he'd much prefer Malvolence.
"Lets get them situated before we worry about anything else."
Onyx chuckled lightly.
"Well. I don't exactly know, I never had any. however..my father might know. But he's not here to be asking. and it's a good thing too, or we'd never gotten to compete I'm sure. He'd never allow us in an arena."

Moonstone regarded his brother, but was slow to say anything. "You heard me about the cheaters, yes? And you are still going to compete?" He began walking towards Piper's in, knowing that Onyx's new freind was hungry.
"We'll go find something to eat now, come on." No, their father hadn't let them in anything like that. No arenas, no evil looking manor type buildings, hell he hadlry let them inside a roped off square.
Bode waved her hands in the air, laughing and enjoying the ride. "And what are we going to do after? The cerimony? Where am I gonna stay when you two are in the games?"

Both Malik and Onyx answered at once.
"Of course."
Onyx of course wouldn't back down from a fight, and Malik..well he was confindent enough in his own power to handle the magics of some human wizard. Though malik was a bit interested in this king.
"You know who rules here? anything of interest...apparently Piper and I are his enemies."
Onyx grinned lightly at Bode.
"Well..I think you might stay with Piper. She's not a bad person, at least not this Piper. She was aroudn us when we were born, and a friend of our father. After this ceremony..who knows. maybe take you riding on our lizard some more."
Leading the lizard by the reigns, still carrying Bode.
"Yes, we know him. he's an arrogant, conniving, cowardly old fool who acts like the whole world should be under his thumb, but he can't even apparently manage his own people."
