AMUNET GHANA ✧ FIREBRAND — TANGLEWOOD — TAGS
Amunet had been planning on something nice for her clan, a type of celebration of sorts. Her golden talons sweeping over a few things that she had retrieved from her cave. She closed her eyes for a brief moment releasing a soft sigh from her slightly parted jaws, the jaguaress would flick her curved ear to the side trying to figure out what else she needed yet she found herself being distracted by her own thoughts. Her heart thumping within her chest, she would press her paws to her chest reopening her eyes. She stared off into the distance not uttering a single word as she sat there and going over her life decisions, she was much happier here than some kind of palace with servants coming from one end to another. It was less crowded and she felt more at peace here, she needn't be scared of anyone here. She was home. She always believed that home was where the heart was, it had been that way when she first married her first husband but soon, it had crumbled up between her paws and slipped between her paws like sand. He had not been the man she had dreamt of nor had loved especially after what he had done to her and her son.
These thoughts of the man she once loved made her breath grow shaky and her golden pools would sting slightly with a soft pain. Her curved ears would flick back as she heard the movement of someone through the marshland "Fen?" She uttered quietly and she held back a gasp when she saw that it was him, she could feel her heart stop and her body went cold. Kaatachi. It was him. She thought he had stayed to rule the palace all by himself but she was wrong, Kaatachi had this almost calm aura radiating off of him. He would stare at her through his own pupilless gaze and would incline his head in a courteous manner "My love." He finally spoke approaching her slowly, he was as large as she remembered. Four feet taller than her and covered by scales, which made a good way of protection. She was frozen in place unsure of how to feel, the way he called her that, she hadn't been called that in a long time.
"I am not yours. I am no love of yours."
She breathed out into a mutter with her ears pinned against her cranium. His whiskers twitched almost not moved by her words and Kaatachi would say with a soft 'tsk' "I do not blame you for being so sour towards me but, you will find that you are mine. Only mine and no one elses. Our marriage has brought us together and only death will do us part, my dearest Queen." His eyes would fill with mock-worry as he continued slowly starting to circle Amunet "I missed you truly I did. I have searched everywhere for you and now that I have found you, we will return to our lands not this infested wasteland that you decided to live within. Come love," He said finally with a flick of his slender tail, his gaze steady watching her.
Her unsteady gaze watched him and her breathing had grown quick, she shook her head her mouth moving but words didn't come out. "No. N-no. You didn't miss me. You don't love me. Just go back to the snake den you came out of, Kaatachi." If she had pupils then they would have narrowed into dangerous slits, her soft voice began to grow louder "L-leave! Leave, Kaatachi! I don't love you," There was a pause as she finally blurted out finally "Not anymore." She watched him with caution to see a reaction but much like her own child, Kaatachi didn't seem to show much facial emotions to give away how he felt. The fur on her spine would rise as her body grew tense "L-leave Kaatachi." She finally said in a louder voice, it finished off with a screech as her lips would peel back to reveal sharp ivory fangs.
But it went silent mid-screech, Kaatachi was upon her already with his front paws over her mouth and a growl making his throat vibrate. "Listen here, beyfu." His voice said shaking with obvious anger, his eyes locked onto hers watching as tears started pooling up in her golden gaze "I am taking you back. With or without you wanting to do so." He examined her face for a bit only to rumble quietly with a ghastly smirk "You actually look like a Goddess unlike that atrocious appearance you had before," He still had a paw over her mouth but with his other paw, he would wrap it underneath her chest and slowly spread his dragon-like wings. "Well, let's go." He finally muttered into her ear causing a shiver to make her whole body press against his own, she was stiff.
Fear.
He could smell it wafting off of her as he lifted both of them into the air, he finally removed his paw from her mouth trailing his talon from her lips to her chin lifting it up so Kaatachi could get another look at her. "A perfect Queen for a perfect King," He hummed with smug content as he stared at her some more, his whiskers twitched "Too bad, our own son was horrid." That seemed to make something snap inside of Amunet as she suddenly stared at Kaatachi with a powerful hatred, that's when she would squirm until her own forearms were free "He isn't your son, he's mine." She snarled starting to claw at his head and muzzle, she used her hind paws to start clawing at his belly. This made him recoil back with a hiss of pain and he released her when her claws met with one of his eyes. She fell and for a moment, she thought she was going to die until her golden wings would spread out letting her glide down to the ground safely. Her talons made a soft click sound when she landed onto smooth rock, a soft breath escaped her and she took a moment to see that her golden talons were coated with a silver blood.
She didn't have much time to even say anything when a large body bowled her over and talons would sink into the back of her cranium "Beyfu!" Screeched Kaatachi, his eye filled with a sudden malice and anger. An eye. She had tore one of them had and scattered on his face were several clawmarks from the damage her talons had dealt, she held in her breath not knowing what he would do to her next. She could feel his other free paw moving the plumage on her wings and ruffling it up briefly before she felt his grip tighten on her wing "B-beyfu. . ." He growled quietly and a cry of agony would escape her lips as her wing was broken and it lay limply on her side as she let out a choked sob. Kaatachi flicked his tattered ears back until they brushed against the back of his head, his talons dug into the skin of her back until it penetrated her flesh causing golden blood to lap at his fur and splatter across his talons. He would watch her struggle to get free but he held her down well enough that she wouldn't be able to escape.
He decided to finally say something about how she had been happy when he had first spotted her "You seemed so happy, the first time I found you. Surrounded by the mongrels of this marshland," He said in a monotone voice as his slender tail lashed behind him, his gaze fixed on her slightly shivering body "Making scarves for everyone, weren't you? How sweet of you." His voice dripped like venom recalling how she had gotten close to this one draconic looking beast, it made him a bit envious but he truly hated Amunet. If he couldn't have her then obviously some spiked, oversized dog wouldn't be able to either or any of the bastards that resided here. "Who is he? Why do you look at him in such a way? Tell me." He finished sourly digging his talons further into her flesh causing a gasp to escape her.
"I'm not going to tell you anything. It is none of your business, it was never your business. Why are y-you even here?" She hissed painfully with her face pressed into the mud underneath them, her eyes staring off towards the swamp for a brief moment before she would watch him through the corner of her eye. She watched as the blood would drip from the injuries he had gained from her and it had felt so good, she could only imagine what Kunta had gone through and knowing she finally stood some type of chance against Kaatachi gave her some kind of sliver of hope. She felt a bit with blood escaping her mouth and nose, she still couldn't believe that her wing was broken. She was sure that she would still be able to get away and get to camp with Zimavich, Nayru, Morgan, Beck, and Fenrisulfr. For a moment, she thought she was safe and it seemed that her former spouse was only growing angrier as he made a swift movement that caused the bones in her forelimb to break as well. She coughed out blood and would yowl in pain, she tried moving away but she was unable to with the weight of him on top of her.
Her former spouse stared at her with a cold gaze "I should've killed the child. During training, he was just as imperfect as you. I should have killed him and finished you off." He finally said breaking the silence and continuing his voice cold as an unforgiving tundra "I already killed your other brother and mother. Your mother was an easy kill, your brother tried playing the role of a heroine and died an idiot." His tail lashed menacingly to the sides letting that sink in, Amunet would feel tears dripping down her cheeks feeling anger pulsating through her "Where's Kunta? Where is he?" He demanded putting pressure onto her skull "Tell me where he is. . ." Amunet could feel her body shaking with fear and anger before she spat at him bitterly "I'll never tell you where he is. Never. You'll have to kill me before I ever tell you where our - where my son is."
"It's your fault that he's what he is right now. You turned him soft. Reading, writing, and all that other shit you showed him, worthless beyfu. He would've been a proper king. . . Not what he is today. I could have taught him but you always had to intervene saying I was too rough on him and to let him play with the other children. Didn't you understand that learning to be a sovereign is more important than making friends and whatnot?" He hissed with his tattered ears angled forward to watch for any other reactions "I'll hurt you. I'll find him and kill him. I'll kill those you cherish and love. . ." He muttered bitterly looking away from her and into the marshland's territory trying to locate any possible clanmates that had heard Amunet's screeching. A crooked grin spread across his scarred lips, the Maltese tiger twitched his whiskers briefly only to lower his head enough until he was just inches from her ear "Look. They aren't here." His voice had hints of content.
***/the past/memories
Arranged marriages. She never quite understood them at all and she had always been known as the hopeless romantic in her family. She would have preferred to meet Prince Charming on the battlefield than just being made to marry someone that she didn't even know. She snorted at the idea as her heterochromatic gaze turned towards her mother, who was preparing her veil with careful, precise movements, and that's when Amunet spoke "Mother." She watched as the large jaguaress would look up from her work and nodded slowly "Yes darling?" She said in a silky voice with her eyes still plastered onto the lovely veil, Amunet would shuffle her paws briefly before she would finally say "Why must I marry a man who I don't even know? I know it's for familial connections and continuing the bloodline. . . But why is it a must?" She finished hesitantly with a small shake of her head, she watched for her mother's reaction and response.
"Oh darling. You'll meet him soon enough, it has happened to me and I wondered the same thing. When I met your father-" Her mouth continued moving as she told the story of her own marriage but, the words had completely flew across Amunet's head already having heard about this story. Amunet was not convinced whatsoever and did not want to marry some man from a different royal family, she didn't even see her father often and she wondered if the man who had sired her even cared. She didn't even think her mother loved him anymore and it made her have doubts that she would even love her spouse-to-be. "Amunet," Her mother's voice interrupted her thoughts and would look at her with that usually soft gaze filled with understanding "I know it might not be the most appealing but it is tradition and you might like him. He is a very handsome man," She touched the veil one last time and with a dark wing wrapped around Amunet, she would lead her outside with a slow nod of her cranium "Here, it would be best if you met him now. I've spoken to him personally and he's heard quite a bit from me about you. He seemed very interested."
The both of them stood outside with the peach kissed skies dotted nicely with fluffy clouds, Amunet resisted the urge to roll her eyes and hid under her mother's wing especially when she suddenly heard the sound of flapping wings. She would peek from underneath her mother's wing to see a Maltese tiger landing onto the platform where they stood, she could feel her heart skip a beat within her chest causing her to stare at him. The tiger had scaly forelegs, broad shoulders, horns that curved upwards and separated into a large and small set of horns, and a pair of bat-like wings that folded into his side. He would approach slowly watching with a calm gaze and slowly inclined his head, lowered his body into a bow "Your Highness," His gaze would lock onto Amunet's and she could feel her face beginning to flush with a sudden heat, she flicked her curved ears back with a soft chuckle greeting him with a simple "Greetings." The both of them shared a smile and Amunet's mother would let out a soft rumble quite pleased.
"Amunet," She said getting her daughter's attention would she add with a curt nod "This is Kaatachi, your spouse to-be." Kaatachi's smile only seemed to grow as he spoke "You are very lovely, Amunet. I have had the pleasure of meeting you and getting to be engaged to you." He uttered these words causing her halved face to grow warmer, the jaguaress would flick her ear a bit unable to stop her own smile from growing. She glanced at her mother and would get a nod from her before she would slowly approach Kaatachi, the both of smiled at each other once more and before she could turn around to say anything to her mother, arms had wrapped around her carrying her into the sky. She would release a surprised gasp and pressed her paws as well as face into his chest, she would peek from her paw to see they were up near the clouds. Kaatachi looked at her with this soft affection in his eyes and he said apologetically "I'm sorry, my love. I didn't mean to startle you. I just wanted to share the skies with you. Kiss and hold you above all. You are my everything." He finished pressing his nose against hers.
***
Now her mother was dead, both her brothers were dead, and her father well, she assumed that he was dead as well. He only had ever been seen at special occasions like her wedding, her brother's ceremony, and those were the rare times she had seen him. It made her feel bad for her mother but then she felt bad for herself. For marrying Kaatachi, for having an arranged marriage. One that was completely unwanted to begin with. Why had she ever fallen in love with this horrid monster? The monster that was her ex-husband. She hated him. She hated him so much. She wanted him dead, she wanted to sink her talons into his throat and rip out his vocal chords. She hated his voice. She hated everything about him.
Just to think, Kaatachi had been so sweet and loving yet when Kunta had been born. It seemed to make things worse or maybe it was the fact that it was all fake all along. Kaatachi was a fake all along and just because of it, she had doubted Vladimir now he was dead then there was Fenrisulfr someone that had caught her attention the day he joined. There was something about him that interested her and well, she had been so comfortable around the draconic wolf and he always made her feel whole. The way the both of them would smile at one another and make small talk but enjoy themselves through it all. How her heart would race whenever she was around him and how her paws would move across his warm scales, oh, how the comforting warmth would pulsate off of him. Just thinking about him made her relaxed now with her new injuries inflicted onto her.
"I love him."
She finally whispered under her breath and it made Kaatachi tense for a moment, he growled under his breath unsure of what to say or do. He was well aware that Amunet had moved on from him but he hadn't came here to return empty-handed. It made him angry as his claws dug into her skin again causing her to let out a hiss of pain and with a hefty swipe, she was thrown into a near tree and she would let out a faint screech of agony. She was unable to move and blood blossomed from her wounds, some of the blood caked onto her golden coat. She managed to say in a somewhat steady voice.
"I hate you."
She felt something sharp near her side and took a steady breath recalling the beautiful gift Fenrisulfr had gotten her. Victory. One of her eyes were closed as she watched through a somewhat blurry gaze as Kaatachi slowly slithered forward like the damned serpent he was. The nightmare she had was vivid and instead of her ex-husband standing there all she could see was the large black mamba from her night terror, she sucked in a breath as he drew near with a dark chuckle "Now stop messing around your Highness. It's time to go home." He growled in a venomous tone, her eyes watched him and then in a swift movement would she take hold of the sword plunging it through his scaly chest. Her eyes seemed to darken briefly "Regards from my beloved," She muttered bitterly watching as he stumbled back in shock, she was unable to hide the pained smile that formed onto her battered face.
She stumbled a bit trying to somewhat stand as she watched as he reached towards the sword seeing the writing of ascendants did he growl. His gaze darkened as he took a grip of the sword and removed it from his chest, blood would splatter onto the ground without much of a sound. He lowered his head for a moment and spat out blood, he lifted his head staring at her with a shake of his head "Who do you think you are, crazy bitch?" He finally snarled with his lips peeled back and his saber teeth shining in the sunlight, Amunet pressed her back into the bark of the tree and wiped away blood from her chin with her only good arm saying in a heavy voice.
"I am Amunet Ghana, the Goddess of Victory."
These thoughts of the man she once loved made her breath grow shaky and her golden pools would sting slightly with a soft pain. Her curved ears would flick back as she heard the movement of someone through the marshland "Fen?" She uttered quietly and she held back a gasp when she saw that it was him, she could feel her heart stop and her body went cold. Kaatachi. It was him.

It's time to go home." He growled in a venomous tone, her eyes watched him and then in a swift movement would she take hold of the sword plunging it through his scaly chest. Her eyes seemed to darken briefly "Regards from my beloved," She muttered bitterly watching as he stumbled back in shock, she was unable to hide the pained smile that formed onto her battered face.
She stumbled a bit trying to somewhat stand as she watched as he reached towards the sword seeing the writing of ascendants did he growl. His gaze darkened as he took a grip of the sword and removed it from his chest, blood would splatter onto the ground without much of a sound. He lowered his head for a moment and spat out blood, he lifted his head staring at her with a shake of his head "Who do you think you are, crazy bitch?" He finally snarled with his lips peeled back and his saber teeth shining in the sunlight, Amunet pressed her back into the bark of the tree and wiped away blood from her chin with her only good arm saying in a heavy voice.
"I am Amunet Ghana, the Goddess of Victory."
