Shurry spun around a few times, taking in the sights. He was the undisputed center of attention right now, his tail fur stood raised a bit. The fluffy tail, fluffing up even more, seemed to dial up some of the shouts from the crowd. This isn't what I had in mind. Last time I didn't have time to worry about the crowd. Now that I can… I really don't like this. It's too embarrassing, sitting in that chamber waiting for new clothes was less embarrassing than this.
The announcer's voice started and the drum lines died down followed by the crowd quieting down. "ALRIGHT! It's fighting time!" The crowd cheered again. "That's right, let me hear you!" The crowd roared again, chanting for blood, gore, and death.
Seriously? Huh, that's quite the chant… Living here and not knowing anything else, I can understand where they are coming from. However, that doesn't change how deeply sickening the whole thing is. Shurry thought plopping down on his butt to think, his tail gently wagging side to side. It's not like I can't think of some crimes that deserve the most gruesome of deaths… Now, how do I make that happen?
"I love it, your infectious enthusiasm is, to, die, for!" The crowd went wild again. "We have a special opening for you today! The young boy from the last arena is starting today! It is his debut fight as a member of our glorious familia!" The crowd paused for a moment, and then their cheers doubled in excitement. "That's right! It's rare for a male to earn her ladyship's blessings but, this boy… This adorably fluffy boy has earned it! So you can expect to see some excellent work out of him today, it'll surely be a sight to behold!" The crowd continued cheering, many whistling. "As for what his matches are… He will be serving as executioner. Horrible criminals that dared to break the laws of our fair nation. These pathetic men have committed the most heinous of sins. Their actions have directly caused the loss of a few unborn baby's. If not for our Lady Kali's benevolent and tender care, these ladies too would have perished in the most horrible of ways, and without the honor that should come with death." The crowd was then silent, ticked off. "Let the criminals into the arena and begin their fight for their lives!- Oh? Shurry?"
Shurry had drawn a dagger in the sand beneath him and tried to get the announcer's attention. He pointed at the drawing in the sand, knowing his voice would never reach the announcer, not with the crowd's violent shouts.
"Oh my, it looks like little Shurry is asking for something… A dagger maybe?" Once Shurry nodded, the announcer smirked. "Ladies, we have a special request from our young executioner. Here!" She sent a dagger right into the center of the drawing in the sand. "Begin!"
This will work! Shurry grabbed the dagger in his hands, and practiced some movements with it while the criminals' gate was opened. Seriously, this will be a lot more enjoyable. They deserve an embarrassing, and painfully slow death.
The criminals, of which there were five, charged into the arena, prepared for a fight to the death. They wore loincloths, a gift to them really… It was their last chance to maintain some dignity before they were killed, and they definitely would be killed.
"Huh? What the hell is this? Are they just giving us the win? A little kid can't kill us, no matter how hard they may try."
"That's right! This is an insult."
The five continued closing the distance to the young werewolf pup. As they got closer their bodies started sparkling in the sunlight, they were sweating before they even realized it. They just got closer to the boy, it was as if the boy didn't pay them any mind at all. He was completely unbothered.
"I have a bad feeling about this for some reason." The lead criminal muttered under his breath.
The boy's ears twitched. "Huh? What was that? The boy stopped…"
The boy slowly turned his head, and smiled. The criminals were paralyzed with fear the moment they saw such a contrasting look on the boy's face. It was clear the boy was anything but normal.
Shurry took in the sight of the five criminals. Hmm, they don't have much difference between them. All are clearly bottom rung, maybe that's why they forced themselves on those women? Or maybe it was to harm the unborn on purpose. He let out a howl to the sky above, throwing the dagger at one of the criminals at the same time.
This distraction led the criminals to scatter in a panic, a massive mistake. The dagger flew right by one of the criminals. "Huh? It didn't even scratch me? Guess he's all bark and no bite."
"Huh? What do you mean? Look down you idiot, the knife did get you. You're exposed in front of everyone."
The first criminal looked down to see that his dangling bits were no longer covered. And in a quick motion he tried his best to cover himself with his hands while looking for the cloth. "Where is it? Where is it?"
The second criminal looked around for something else. "By the way… Where's the boy?" His eyes finally caught a glimpse of something moving behind the fifth criminal. "Hey watch out, behind you!"
His call was too little too late, as all of the criminals turned, looking behind themselves. Only one of them lost the luck lottery. The screams the fifth criminal let out rivaled that of a terrified child. "It's a monster!" He tried to run.
The criminal was definitely wrong about Shurry, he wasn't a monster, he was a werewolf with a unique ability to fully transform whenever he needs. His fully wolven form's mass is about 50% larger than his original size, so he's still not humongous by any means. Even so, this form looks extremely similar to what an albino hellhound would look like. Silver fur, and blue eyes… Just like his humanoid form.
As the criminal tried to run away, the cloth keeping him covered was torn off, and spat to the side from toothy jaws. Shurry chuckled to himself before continuing to make his rounds. Loin-cloths first, then we can get to the next part…
