1day of destruction year 190

The red sun reigned high above him and his footsteps were slow, In his mind he had lost it all, Sherror was dead,Glori was probably dead as well and with his hand he lost the will to fight as well.

He was walking aimlessly trying to go home to his home village,

but he was still in the Canine empire that now rapidly fell in the hands of the Lizardmen, no dogman liked him as he wasn't one of them after all, so he walked and walked, hungry and exhausted waiting to die as the loser he felt to be.Yes this is that period of our lives where we stuble on the great wall of china, when for the first time we see something we think we can't overcome even in a hundred years.My advise ,just try a bit harder but who am I to advise you my dear readers in these times only our dearest of persons can help us overcome obstacles that we can't overcome by ourselves.

In these times a godly intervention would be great don't you think but nah that's not gonna happen, the gods like strong people ones that would overcome any ordeal even if they have to risk their own life for that purpose.

But even so Xeor was now lost in his defeat, which wasn't his first but it left him crippled, in his way he encountered a lionman child who He was even younger than him when he left the tribe.

(Xeor)-Kid are you lost?

(lionman child)-No I know exactly where I am going

(Xeor)-And where might that be?

(lionman child)-The Canine Imperial City Gawvre

(Xeor)-And what's your business there?

(Lionaman child)-Non of your business and stop following me

(Xeor)-And where are your parents?

(Lionman child)-If I tell you my story will you stop bothering me

(Xeor)-nope, but you can try boring me to death, that might work

The child laughed a bit

(Lionman child)-You see mister I am Meur son of Zifarang If you know who I am talking about

(Xeor)-You mean the previous chief, oh good old times

(Meur)-Did you know him?

(Xeor)-Well everyone knew him he was one of the strongest chiefs of our tribe

(Meur)-Probably before Xeor murdered him

(Xeor)-What are you talking about, I murdered noone

(Meur)-What, so you are him

(Xeor)-Yes I am Xeor son of Kor and I dueled him fair and squere, I even gave myself a handicap

(Meur)-Don't tell me you haven't heard of the new laws?

(Xeor)-What laws?

(Meur)-Now it is forbiden by law to kill anyone even if it is a duel so typicaly cause that happened before the law was made you are not yet an exile but anyone who kills another beastman is now called a murderer and Is exiled from the tribe

(Xeor)-Was that Gulf's Idea when I get back i'll fucking kick his ass

(Meur)-Sorry but you won't be going anywhere, as I meur have come to challenge you to a duel, I have heard that you were In Gawrve but since you are here that makes it even faster

(Xeor)-Do you think cause I lost an arm I will lose to a child, how come your mother didn't stop you

(Meur)-You will pay for my father's death with your life

The little lionman charged at him with all his might but it amounted to nothing and from his stance he could tell he didn't even know how to fight Xeor just lifted him up with one hand and made a small cage on the ground and put him in

(Xeor)-So lets start it from the begining, how come you are not with your mother?

The little lionman was crying as he talked silendly as tears fell from his eye

(Meur)-She abandoned me

(Xeor)-Impossible, why would she do such a thing

(Meur)-It was a catman who talked her into doing so, he looked funny but he was ... he killed her and I saw him becoming a lizard,

but non believed me cause everyone hate me, even grandpa who was an elder is now but a useless lion who only knows how to sleep,

The lizardman took her form and now I don't even know what to do,

If only father was alive, nothing of this would have happened

(Xeor)-I believe you on that, your father was wise but if he was alive I wouldn't be so I can't help you on that but what I can help you with is training you I can make you a warrior stronger that me but I have a condition

(Meur)-Why should I believe you?

(Xeor)-Lets say I can kill you here and now but that gives me nothing, you have no one and I too have just had my ass kicked by those dirty reptilians

(Meur)-Where there many?

(Xeor)-Only one or two hundereds of them

(Meur)-You lie non could fight a hundred and survive

(Xeor)-Who do you think I am? I am Xeor the lion king, at least was before... whatever I changed my mind kid you can go wherever you like just don't mendle In my business

And the cage fell apart as if it was made of sand and Xeor left as gloomy as he was before he met the kid.

Xeor walked faster now but still didn't have the will to hunt, he was hungry as he reached the border town of the catmen, It was quite lively and non recognized him as many lionmen begun to travel the past few months.

(Catman)-Oi lionman you forgot you kid

(Xeor)-I don't ha....Is that you Meur are you following me or something

(Meur)-Well It was dark and I don't know the way back so you could at least help me a bit here

(Xeor)-Whatever

(Meur)-Do you ever eat?

(Xeor)-Now that you mention It, I haven't gone for a hunt for days

(Meur)-What do you mean hunt? It's prohibited to hunt in other tribe's territory, you have to give something in exchange for food

(Xeor)-What's that now?

(Meur)-Where have you been living In a cave or something

(Xeor)-Well let me see, I could just go and hunt as if anyone would find it

(Meur)-Are you an Idiot, even If you go now what could you possibly catch so late at night, most animals are sleeping in their holes

(Xeor)-Don't mind about that, I do have something in mind

Xeor left the city for two hours and suddenly at the entrance of the town a big crowd had gathered.

(Meur)-What has happened?

(Catwoman)-Someone just caught a grawler and he even went alone

(Meur)-What's a grawler?

(Catwoman)-Well it is the most dangerous beast in the wild, claws can't pierce its hide and its teeth can ... I don't even want to think of it

(Xeor)-Oh Meur, I caught us a little something now he can eat a feast, anyone else wants to try?

The mood was strange but Xeor was one of a kind he used his ability to skin the beast of it's scales but made it look as if he was doing it with his claws.The meat wasn't very good but with the scales he thought of making a weapon or something in place of his lost hand.

The next day rumors about him started speading around the catmen villages about a lionman who slew a Grawler alone, It didn't take long for Deatlan's spies to catch up to the rumpr and after a few days a few soldiers from the capital came to the Village.

(Catman Commander)-We came to escort Xeor our king and living god to the capital who knows where we can find him

(Village leader)-If you mean the one armed lionman, he is playing with his son

(Catman Commander)-No I mean Xeor the Hero of the Kinship

(Village leader)-Then I can't help you although there was that one other lionman who went to the neighboring village, but he didn't seem like a hero at all, you must probably want the one armed lionman and his pup

(Catman Commander)-Men we are leaving for the neighboring village asap, huh one armed lion who needs a cripple like that

The next day Rumors circulated that Xeor was back at the capital,

but as we know he was still in that small village now teaching Meur a thing or two about fights

(Xeor)-Not like that, do it harder, first you go for the weak points like joints or the eyes, not like that...

(Meur)-Are you sure you are "the Xeor"

(Xeor)-What do you mean?

(Meur)-Well rumors say Xeor the lion king has just returned to the Capital city

(Xeor)-As if I ever cared about rumors, he's probably some imposter

(Meur)-Well If he is a Lizardman, wouldn't that be bad for us

(Xeor)-Now that you mention it, he could be but... Okey you have a point, we should make a quick trip to the capital as fast as we can

(Meur)-I still think you look more like the Imposter, come on you look nothing like the giant Xeor, who trashed the dogmen army single handedly

(Xeor)-Believe me if the imposter is a lizardman you will see how fast and painfully he dies

Xeor took Meur on his shoulder and rushed to the capital with all haste , Meur felt as if he was flying as the speed Xeor ran.
