Monster Legends: Ragnarok's Reign {NEEDS MEMBERS!!!!!}

Mercurius jumped a little, squeaking slightly at this. His ears flattened again as he looked down shyly, obviously not mad about the squeeze.


The panda shook her head. "No, he's got his own factory about a day south of papa's." She blinked as the cub just ate his scoops in huge bites, licking his lips happily. "


Remiel nodded. "Agreed." He then looked as a waiter came to get their drink and tell them about specials they had.

Mercurius was quiet for a while after that, but he was smiling slightly. He would be grinning if he wasn't trying to hold his emotions in.



The cub just blinked as Colby choked, looking concerned. Fatid made sure the boy was okay, and so did the panda. She smiled slightly before getting another cone with a small scoop of chocolate. "Don't choke on this one this time. On me." Fatid hummed before the tentacles on his back unfurled a bit so he could get money to at least pay for the first ice cream.


Remiel had decided on red wine instead, though alcohol of any kind had little to no effect on angels. The waiter nodded before asking if they were ready to order or of they needed another minute.

Mercurius looked around before saying "The others should be returning soon as well."


The monster smiled as the cub curiously sniffed at the scoop, trying a bite. He left most of it for Colby though. The panda then said "And hey, if you get anything in red wrapping for Christmas, throw it out of the window, okay?" She wrinkled her nose. "They don't even bother using different papers."


Remiel thought for a moment before ordering something that was apparently new to the menu. Some sort of fish that was caught in the rivers nearby. He made sure Cally didn't want anything else before nodding to the waiter, who wrote their orders down.

Rogue just studied them for a moment before saying to Necromancer "Looks like you had some luck too."


The panda sniffed at this. "That bully always uses the same wrapping. Super pretty, but super basic too. Papa always makes sure that the wrapping somehow reflects the personality of the kid. Make sure you write a letter to Panda Claus this year too. That's the only way he'll for sure reach your house. A bunch of people are already more supportive of these new guys, and I don't see why honestly. Probably just because they're flashy and fast. And what kid doesn't like robots, I guess."


Remiel smiled a little. "Nothing much. I'm trying to find a tournament or two to participate in for fun, but traveling with you guys is more important than that. I'm also scheduled to go back home and speak with the other angels. Like a family reunion. Except, a very very big one."

Rogue shrugged before saying "This was about it. Only found a few dark monsters, and even less who wanted to follow me back here."


Fatid then asked the panda "Why don't they just work together or something?" The vendor smiled sheepishly before saying "Well, papa might've said that the buck was a bit, uhm, frightening to look at after an accident so he wasn't allowed to pull the sleigh with the other reindeer. Papa thought he'd scare the kids, which he did. Still, that's no reason to go attack his home, steal his toys and helpers! And essentially run him out of business. I'm pretty sure it's out of spite."


Remiel nodded. "I'm pretty old, so I've had a lot of time to get to know them all. Maybe if one does come by, you can meet them."

The others nodded in agreement, and Aurus said "it'll be a good opportunity to get to know the new monsters as well, surely."


The panda shrugged. "No idea. Maybe taking to the competition, but papa's tried already and it didn't work. Sometimes new and flashy beats old and traditional, I guess." She frowned a little as she said that though.


Remiel arched a brow with a mischevious smile. "Oh? Well, maybe you can see the rest of me sometime, if things continue to go well between us."

The group followed after the Warmaster curiously, Mercurius taking note of the wary looks they were getting. He was sure it was mainly for the dark monsters though.


The panda nodded in agreement. "He should. I mean, there will always be a few kids who like the traditional stuff, but maybe having a few newer things made would be good." She smiled at them, mainly Colby as she said "As long as you're good though, I guess the gifts aren't to be debated too much. Bad kids are the same to either of them!" Meaning they either got coal or nothing, though the particularly bad kids got a visit from Krampus.


Remiel smiled mischeviously before looking as their drinks had been brought, the waiter saying that their food would be out soon after.

When the group reached the place, Rogue held open the door for everyone before walking in after them. It took a minute, but eventually the large group was being seated together.


The panda shook her head. "I don't think you are, from what I can tell. I was never too good at my Christmas powers though. That's always been Virgil's strongsuit, but he's a bum so yeah. I'll probably end up taking over so papa can actually take a break, but I doubt that'll be soon." She smiled sheepishly. "Ah, I strayed a bit. Anyway, I doubt you'll be on the naughty list, or have ever been. Have you gotten a visit from Krampus?"


Remiel smiled sheepishly. "Uriel would never raise a finger to hurt Colby." Not that the entity actually needed to. "Samael though... he thinks everyone is out to hurt his brother." Or father? Since Uriel made him. Remiel never really understood that bit. "Samael has always been, uhm... a bit rough around the edges though. Uriel claims he's actually quite sweet, but I'd clip my wings before believing that. The fact that he's a dark monster doesn't really help his reputation either."

Mercurius was talking happily with the others when he noticed some monsters walking in. The creatures were hooting and hollering with laughter as they entered the place. One of them was a orange-red color and another was a dark green, but both had the uncanny tusks jutting from their bottom lips. Orcs. The fox huffed before looking back to the group, though he noticed Rogue looked very uncomfortable now.


The panda smiled brightly. "See, good! Just keep being a nice person, and you'll be fine." Fatid wouldn't be surprised if his parents didn't sleep on Christmas Eve though, as Krampus visited while everyone was supposed to be asleep. He doubted a hunter family most of all would let a monster do anything to their kid. As he thought about it, the panda said "We'll see what happens though. Hey, maybe if you see the competition's sleight, shoot them down or something? Kidding, kidding..."


Remiel shrugged. "Uriel and Samael are on a completely different tier of power, whether Colby is trained or not." He looked at Cally curiously before asking "Speaking of, are your parents going to train him to be a hunter or something? Or at least train him to defend himself?"

The orcs were soon on their way to be seated when the smaller of the two, the female, noticed Necro and the group before elbowing her companion. The dark green orc walked over to the group, adjusting his helmet as he said "Well, well, lookie here. I didn't think we'd actually see the circus."



Fatid would've been the guy to say why not, but didn't want to make Colby more uncomfortable. So, he just nodded in agreement with Criss. "Uhm, yeah. Maybe we'll just talk to them or something."


Remiel nodded once at this. "And I'm sure going to school with monster kids will help. Trying to make him a hunter probably won't be too successful."

The green orc glared at the waitress, scaring her off with a snarl as the red-orange female spoke up. "What, we can't come say hi? I mean, there is a Warmaster here. Borjork here is a dark monster, you know. Not that he would want to join a court like this." She sniffed before looking at Rogue. "I mean, you've got a runt in your group. Looks like one of Warspellz's too." Rogue just looked down, not saying anything.



The cub looked at Colby, sniffing him curiously. "... not happy?" He could sense that the human wasn't really comfortable at that moment.


Remiel smiled slightly. "Well, you're still young. Plenty of opportunity to build a reputation for yourself, maybe even do something big."

The female just scoffed. "Talk about unimportant. No wonder you haven't had an army until now. And even then you get scraps like this." She pointed a finger at Rogue, who growled slightly. "All the smart dark monsters would either avoid you and go join the side with a better chance at winning."

The orcs just laughed, the male saying "Oh, that's right. You're too busy trying to scrap together a decent following. Well, sorry to say all the good ones willing to fight left to the other Warmaster ages ago. Just like the best of all the other elements have."

The orcs just scoffed, one of them saying "We wouldn't talk down to a real Warmaster. You and the rest of those clowns will be dead soon anyway, when the true Warmaster takes over like he was supposed to a long time ago." The male held up a hand when Necromancer offered to guide them to the door. "Don't, our noses are already hurting from your smell. And to think I'm attuned to the same element as you. Have fun with your runts and your misfits." They had genuinely been planning to eat there, but now they were going to just go somewhere else, both turning to head back out of the door.
