“I...I am truly sorry Pixrry! You gave permission and went overbo--”

“It’s alright Secton. You were just protecting yourself.”

“Pixrry if I may intrude your conversation, who is this beast?”

“Dad this is no beast. This is Secton. He was a rock when I met him. In the ravine. He told me about events that he lived though. I wrote them down so we can put it in our library. Oh! He also performed ‘surgery’ on me! Look.”

“Is that why your legs are harder than before and the reason you were limping?”

“...Yes…”

“But why Pixrry?! Couldn’t your spells heal yo--”

“If I can interrupt. Spells can’t heal bones, skin, or bruises. The spells you know can only heal diseases. It’s one of the many things I learned over my life time. When it came down to Pixrry’s injuries I had to perform the surgery.”

Secton pulled an x-ray image of Pixrry’s legs and showed the severity of her injuries to the King and Queen.

“How did this happen honey?”

“Care to explain yourself Pixrry?”

“Um...I…”

“She fell into a hole within the ravine and shattered her tibia and fibula. I did what I had to. She was bleeding internally and would’ve died from blood loss. Seeing how she reacted to the entire situation and how she performed during the surgery. I presume this is her first time getting hurt this badly?”

“For a beast, you do know how to lay down information straight away, and yes, our kind is very careful when it comes to danger. This is the first time anyone has survived...this. For that I will give my thanks to you. However this does not mean I...forgive? I don’t know, look I don’t trust you foul beast!”

“What did I do to you?”

“You’ve had killed most of my guards and destroyed General Lisa’s equipment and you tried to punch me and my wife!”

“Dad! I told him to protect himself! He did what he had to do. If I didn't, the guards would of killed him! Like the others I've met before!"

An awkward silence hovered over the four.

"(Cough) Um...Secton do you mind picking up your fist? It's extremely close to my um...(Cough) region..."

"Huh? Oh! I'm...I'm so sorry! Let me readjust my arm real quick."

Secton lifted his arm that had landed near Pixrry and apologized for almost harming her and her family.

"For your information 'King' I didn't kill any of your guards. I just knocked them out. If I killed them they wouldn't be breathing. See?"

Secton grabbed a royal guard that was launched toward a tree and showed the King that he was still breathing. Secton rose and walked towards General Lisa; however, General Lisa was still in a fearful state, when Secton got closer, she crawled backwards towards the rest of the guards that were standing in fear. General Lisa was backed into a tree, then Secton crouched down to General Lisa's current height. As Secton drew closer, Lisa closed her eyes and started to wimpier and noticed that Secton had his hand closer to her face. 

"Don't worry I wont attack...this time at least."

"How can I trust you?"

"I dont know, if you can. Just keep an open mind once in a while. Alright."

"OK...I'll try."

Even if General Lisa was hesitant at first she grabbed his hand in acceptance to his terrifying size.

"You see your Majesty? I only fought back to protect myself. I'm pretty sure you would do the same...wouldn't you?"

The Queen was swayed by Secton's little action and sincerity.

"He does have a point honey. Just because we command the guards, that doesn't mean we have to kill every creature that poses a threat."

"Are you really believing everything he is saying?! He is another creature that has harmed our daughter! This does not excuse him at all! Look at the royal guards even if they are passed out that doesn't excuse for his recklessness! A monster is always a monster. No matter what."

"Father you are a creature, how can you be mad at your own species?"

"I don't hate all monsters it's...just...I have issues to fix, alright."

The King ordered the guards that were conscious to carry the ones that were unconscious. General Lisa released her grasp and walked towards her group. Secton waved at the General and saw everyone starting to leave. He noticed one of the guards were trying to help Pixrry get up. Every time she got up she would stumble before she took a step. The guard walked to Lisa telling her that Pixrry can't get up. Before Lisa gave the approval, Secton walked toward Pixrry, picked her up, and placed her in his arms.

"You know I'm not a kid Secton."

"You need some way of transportation. Either way I don't really mind this. Do you?"

"No...but it is slightly embarrassing."

The King stared at Secton and looked back at his Queen.

"I don't trust this monster."

"Why is that honey?"

"He gives me a strange vibe. Like he isn't from here."

"Pixrry did say he was rock."

"I don't know what he is or what he is going to do is just...how is the Kingdom going to react. Will they accept him or shun him? I don't want the same outcome to happen when they saw me. I don't even know how fell for me?"

"I fell for you because of who you are, and yes I do fear that the Kingdom will reject him. We have yet to show them our daughter's true form, and don't get me started on her two older siblings. The public doesn't even know about them. We hid them from the outside world, and they are longing to see everything outside the castle walls. As for killing other creatures. I can argue that yes some creatures were never to be trusted and some were innocent and you had overreacted just a bit. Look once we get back we have to sneak Secton in and give our daughter a new cloak to hide her ears and wings."

The King looks to the ground and starts to think everything his wife had told him. He looks back at the forest and tells everyone to look alive when they are going through the forest. This journey back was going to take a while before they know what to do with Secton.
