A Riot

The beam of flames shoots directly towards Kiyoko. he barely manages to dodge the beam as he runs towards Oji. the air around the two was humid and the ground firm yet slippery. Kiyoko had a shine in his eyes as he smiled and covers his fist in a layer of orange flame. the fire beam dissipates as Oji sees Kiyoko and dodges his flaming punch with ease and spinning and elbowing him in the side.

"guess its true you aren't as weak as you used to be ya Brat!" Kiyoko stumbles a bit and turns to see Oji with a large grin on his face as he covers his fists in flames. Frederic watching from the side.

"Remember Kiyoko, predict his movements before they happen!" Kiyoko hears Frederic and lands on his feet and dodging almost every attack from the barrage Oji was throwing. Kiyoko ducked under Oji's punches and putting all his weight on his right foot and spinning around attempting to kick his legs from under him. Oji jumps over his kick and punches Kiyoko to the ground and stands over him. the air was humid and dry as Kiyoko was breathing heavy and sweating but Oji seemed normal.

"you did really impressive ya brat" he took a few steps back and held his hand out helping Kiyoko up as Frederic runs over.

"hey!, im not that much younger than you" he makes a pouty face as Frederic makes it over to where they were.

"you two are improving at an insane pace, ever since the festival a month ago, you've been training like a forest fire Oji" Oji Grins and looks to Frederic.

"you could go as far to say the same as yourself Frederic" Kiyoko took a step back and dusted himself off swatting a few nasal flies away.

"well, i have improved, but I'm nowhere near your guy's level… especially Kiyoko, what is it, you've mastered almost 4 elements now?" Frederic and Oji look at Kiyoko who looks at them and tilts his head. he talks to himself a bit before gasping.

"3, i think its 3… Ice, Fire, and Time" he twirls his long hair around his finger as Oji yawns.

"all this training made me tired, imma go take a nap… later nerds" Frederic and Kiyoko watch as Oji enters the main courtyard of the castle. Frederic looks at Kiyoko.

"well Kiyoko, I've got things to do so" Kiyoko looks at Frederic as Galliun walks up behind the two.

"good afternoon sir Frederic, sir Kiyoko" Frederic turns to look at the head guard.

"oh, hey Galliun, what is it you need?" Galliun nods and takes a step back.

"the King would like to see you two in the throne room" Kiyoko looks at Frederic then turning and nodding.

"okay, lets go then" the head guard turns around to walk away leaving Kiyoko and Frederic to follow.

Kiyoko had been in the throne room multiple times already, but no matter how many times he entered he was still amazed at its beauty. the simple white walls and quarts pillars down both sides with floor to ceiling windows and a gabbled roof with wood accents. at the end Oji. but only the kings throne was filled.

King Aristol sat on the throne with his red fur robe. he smiles upon seeing Kiyoko and Fredric as he stands up and walks down off the elevated platform to meet them directly.

"I'm glad you guys came" Fredric nods as he looks up at his dad.

"What do you need dad?" King Aristol sighs as he leans down to be eye level with them. Frederic notices his dad's change in emotion.

"the citizens… are starting to get riled up… continuing with the ongoing racism against the Demi Humans… and the news is spreading about the recent event during the Festival…" Frederic's eyes widen.

"The tensions are high and everyone is scared… plus everyone's putting the blame onto the Demi Humans!… this is getting bad… we need to deal with this now-" suddenly the throne room doors burst open and there stands Galliun breathing heavy. Aristol quickly passes Kiyoko and Frederic walking over to Galliun.

"what's wrong, this behavior is not like you Galliun" Galliun takes a deep breath as he stands up tall in front of Aristol.

"the citizens… city center…" Aristol grits his teeth as Frederic turns around and Kiyoko's ears go down.

"speak up sir Galliun!" Galliun gulps.

"sir Aristol… a Fight has broken out in the city center between the humans and Demi Humans!" Aristol grits his teeth as Frederic steps forward.

"a riot!"

The king slams open the doors leading outside before the guards can and speed walks down the path past several guards.

"gather several highly trained officials to come with us, Tell Oji he's in charge of the castle till I return…" Kiyoko slowly follows behind scared and nervous as Frederic confidently walks in front.

"Kiyoko…" the king turns to look at him as his pointed ears go down.

"your coming with me, I need you to speak on behalf of the Demi Humans" Kiyoko's eyes widen as everything seems to bend and fold around him. his pupils shake as everything distorts
