Melari came in soon after this introduction and greeted himself to Malika. The guy, while a bit on the short side, had a kind heart that was seen in his eyes. He also happened to be a macaw, but was pure yellow all over. His arms were muscled from years of work making weapons and armor. “So then Nicholas, I trust you like your katana?” the avian asked to the fosky.
“As always, your work is incredible,” Nicholas replied and put on a bow of respect. “I’m very pleased.”
“So Malika… would you mine allowing me to take a look at your sword?” the parrot then asked the Anubian Jackal.
“Yes, I now remember us coming here for that,” she replied before glaring at Nicholas. The female brought it out and handed it over to Melari.
The avian first tested the point and balance of the sword before doing a few more things. “Very fine craftsmanship,” Melari stated. “And the shape is one you won’t find in this city. I myself would know, being one of the best when it comes to weapons and armor here. Am I right in assuming this came from the north?”
“Yes,” the Anubian Jackal replied, but in a whisper, like the thought hurt her. The face the female had showed it. Melari nodded to her with sympathy.
“I was told by our rulers that your past is a sensitive subject. I won’t ask what city, who made this, or anything else until you’re ready to tell me. What you’ve confirmed has answered a lot of questions.”
Malika nodded to him with a relieved smile. “Well it’s quiet a strong one, no?” Remy commented. “Us three saw her use it, and damn; she’s one fierce warrior.” The rat then looked to Chery. “Of course, she might be too much for you Chery.” The way he pronounced that name was rolling the r.
“You kidding?” she stated with a smile on her face. “I need to rest before the tournament and sparring practice with you, swamp rat!”
“Tournament?” Malika asked.
“Here, let’s head to my house and talk,” Rex the wolverine replied. “It’s not that far away and also because we have to arrange times with you Nicholas.”
“No problem,” the fosky replied.
Everyone left the building and Nicholas told the one driving the vehicle that had brought him and Malika to the colosseum that they were heading to Rex’s house and would return to the palace after this. The male wolverine led them to there and Malika found it was quiet the nice-looking house on the outside and the inside. While not the palace, the female Anubian Jackal could see herself living in such a place that let in the light and a lot of nice décor.
“Make yourself at home,” Rex told her when they got to the living room and Malika sat down with Remy and Chery joining her. Nicholas stood next to his captain who took a different seat.
“So what is this tournament you’re talking about?” the Anubian Jackal asked.
“It happens to be the biggest thing that happens in the year,” the male wolverine explained. “Basically it consists of races, sports, and fights were residents can form teams to compete not just against each other, but the other five major cities. The colosseum you saw on the way here is where we host it when it’s our city’s turn which it will be when next year comes. It’s not only a way to bring honor and glory to you and the place you live, but also to create strong bonds with the other competitors; even the ones from other cities.”
“We did good last year, no?” Remy stated. “Top four.”
“It was thanks to Nicholas mostly. He’s really helped us out of a number of sticky situations.”
“Yeah, but this time, we’ll take first for certain,” the fosky said.
“Sounds like a blast,” Malika commented. “Wish I could compete.”
“Sadly registration for teams has passed,” Rex said. “You’ll have to wait till next year. At least you can watch the one this year to get an idea of what it’s like.”
The wolverine then went on to talk with Nicholas and that stuff was figured out for the long-haired male. He and the Anubian Jackal then returned to the vehicle. They didn’t look or say anything to the other. Nicholas managed to deliver what had been bought to the right people before it was time for dinner. It had been an exciting day and many more were to come.
