The court erupted into chaos. Concerned shouts and confused questions rose. Their world was tilting on its axis.

Ottai and Vladya hurried outside. Alarm was already spreading beyond the court, the people shouting as they caught sight of the beast.

"Do you think he's gone..." Ottai's voice faltered as he ran

"No," Vladya snapped. "I think he was summoned."

with Vidya. "...f-feral again?"

"Summoned?" Ottai parroted, bewildered. "What in cruel fates does that mean!?"

They sprinted down the winding stairs, bursting into the courtyard where a throng of people had already gathered. All eyes were fixed on the towering entrance gates, flung open, from the beast's hasty departure.

There was no way they could catch him unless they shifted into their own beast forms. And even then, given the sheer speed with which the grand king was running, their chances were slim

Vladya skidded to a halt, a contemplative frown furrowing his brow. Ottai, too, was trying to make sense of the situation, but nothing about it made sense.

"This is not the time to be vague, Vladya. You said summoned?"

"Yes, summoned. Called upon. Whichever term you prefer," Vladya said reluctantly.

Ottai spluttered. Do you believe this male? "First of all, no one can 'summon' our grand king. Secondly, for him to react this way? No kind of summons can do that. No one has that kind of power. Not the elders, not the Oracle, and even if they could, both are still in deepsleep. Which leaves us no one with a power high enough to even attempt that."

"His Soulbond can. His Soulbond called out to him." In a near-whisper, Vladya added, "What the hell was she thinking?" before walking away.

Ottai stood rooted to the spot, too shocked to move. His eyes trailed Vladya who was trying to calm the growing panic among the people. Even as Ottai saw Zaiper hurry towards them with the grand king's bloodhost in tow, Ottai was still too dumbfounded to move a muscle. Soulbond?

Did Vladya just imply what Ottai was fairly sure he'd heard the male imply? Soulbond...?

His mind repeated the word over, and over, and over, again. A concept so foreign, so rare that it was inconceivable. Unbelievable.

"It's your fault, Ottai," he said to himself. "Next time, do not ask for explanations from a male battling feral madness."

With that perfectly rational reason in mind, Ottai cleared his mind of such a ridiculous statement. He joined the other grand lords in their efforts to quell the unrest.
