The Captial and a hidden horror beneath

A lone firgue wearing a hood and a cape stealthy makes his way across the sleeping city looking back and forth often at one point he saw a family of his kind dragged out by a Minotaur and taken who knows where he shudders its been happening more and more frequently and more and more often and those taken are never seen again.

After awhile the firgue arrives at a 3story tall building a tavern/Inn and knock on a door in the back 2 times then 5times in succession then 2more times as the door opens held open but a raggedy looking elderly ratman as he looks the firgue up and down then let's him in as he rushes upstairs and enters a large room then kneels down before a wolf Female with dazzling Silver fur beautiful long silver hair down to her shoulders A petite slender firgue and a modest bust but the most amazing feature she has is her silver eyes that glint in the moonlight.

Vinesh-My princess sadly the rumor is true the young price is no where in sight at the royal palace the firgue says never revealing himself.

Princess Madeline-Find him then Vinesh its what I hired you for but so far I have yet to see any FUCKING PROGRESS-

she turns around yelling At the hooded firgue from behind a desk slamming her fists down as another wolf female grabs her shoulder just like the princess She has silver eyes but her fur is black and she appears just like her but with a much bigger frame which suites her greatly as the princesses bodyguard.

Royal Guard Konan-My princess please calm yourself we will find him and when we do we shall save him but getting upset right now doesn't help anyone we can only stay here for so long until we are discovered and Commander Kana is already most likely beyond pissed at us for coming here with notifying her.

Princess Madeline- sighs and nods before crossing her arms, I am very well aware Konan thank you for your concern but I will not leave my little brother in the hands of the enemy even if it means I die Vinesh get some rest then in the morning find the prince that's my order.

Vinesh-That would be very problematic my princess there's hardly any of your people in the palace anymore and I'm not sure if you haven't noticed but your people are constantly disappearing whereas there used to be a population of your people rising in a few million in the capital alone only a few 100thousand still remain give or take that's just the survivors when the city was taken I fear something is going on that your enemies are doing behind closed doors.

Princess Madeline-yes and that makes me even more concerned about my little brother Vinesh find him I refuse to leave until I know if he's ok....madeline then pauses and looks down,even if that means he's dead I must know at the very least then madeline leaves the large room going into a smaller room in it her personal room.

The next morning Vinesh slinks and scurrys around the city careful in his actions even more so because it's broad daylight as he stops in the middle of a local park which appears very neglected the trees dying the grass is dying the flowers as well its very clear the new owners of the city care little for this place as Vinesh meets with some of his fellow ratfolk that he ordered to follow any Minotaurs who kidnap Wolfs to several days ago.

Vinesh-speak what have you to report.

Rat 1-yesss yes we follow the mean Minotaur he take Wolfs to the sewers but we dare not follow further it reeks but not of sewer no no It reeks of death many many deads.

Vinesh suddenly gets a very very bad feeling and pays his fellow rat folk a few gold coins and takes the small map they made detailing where to go then they scurry off away unlike most of his race Vinesh was graced with a higher intelligence then the rest of his peers however he knew the princess would never believe his gut instinct he needed proof.

As Vinesh nears the big sewer grate the connects to the whole of the main sewer network of the capital he covers his snout with a cloth and binds it so he doesn't have to hold it with one hand when he arrived the smell of death saturated the area heavily as he gulped he entered holding his daggers with both his hands and his long gray tail expecting combat at any moment but when nothing happened at the entrance and sighs calms down and begins to search the sewers stealthy as possible.

after about thirty minutes Vinesh finds a massive opening and inside are piles and piles and piles of corpses, corpses of nothing but wolf folk he silently gasps in his mind never before has he witnessed so many corpses in one place however he resolved himself fairly quickly and set upon his task finding the prince he hoped to all the rat gods he wouldn't be found in this pile of corpses the princess of the wolf folk terrifies him greatly when they first met she damn neat cut his tail off!

Vinesh-huff huff huff damnit I need to hurry if those brutes show up I'm not sure I can stay hidden and I don't know how many will come or how frequently.

just at the end of his sentence he spotted something glowing under some corpses from the many corpses he inspected he knew none of them still had their valuables on them and he suspects the prince himself would have silver hair as he manages to pull the body out with a pop he falls on his butt then screams holding a severed small little arm covered in silver fur.

Vinesh-oh God oh God oh fuck oh fuck the princess is going murder me she's going gut me like a freaking frog and hang me with my entrails hanging out fuck fuck fuck.

just then a sound can be heard and loud footsteps approaching as Vinesh panics more before thinking to himself.

Vinesh*fuck it death by Minotaurs death by the princess doesn't matter either way I'll die in the end what difference does it make I have the proof I need I can only hope Konan can contain her wrath*

Vinesh quickly scurrys off in the opposite direction but more and more footsteps can be heard coming from every which way cutting him off quickly Vinesh thinks and finds a perfect hiding spot climbing up and finding a spot ontop of some rapports in the ceiling he waits and waits as many Minotaurs come into view in the chamber dumping bodies after more bodies on the pile but then Vinesh's heart sank one Minotaur stops and begins sniffing the air kicking back one hoove as if he's about to charge at something air bellowing quickly in and out of his nostrils.

Minotaur 1-whats wrong with you

Minotaur 2-i smell something something new in here don't you smell it too

Minotaur 1-its death they are probably just decaying you idiot go find more prey before the lord guts ya

Minotaur 2-grunts and huffs before taking off

a few moments later and silence is all that can be heard throughout the sewer execpt for the occasional sound of water flowing after waiting a few moments Vinesh clambers down and hurriedly leaves before more comes back.
