Kali, along with the announcer and other high ranking members of her familia, all looked down at the excited Shurry, his tail wag sped up the longer this moment went on, forming a sandy dust cloud behind him.
Shurry was confused… Why hasn't Lady Kali praised me yet? The criminals are all dead. She doesn't look upset either… Oh, maybe this will do… He let out a proud howl to the sky, his tail beating ever faster, ears twitching.
"Bring the boy to me, I want him to sit with me for the rest of the day. Don't bother with any pit stops along the way either." Kali smirked, her voice failing to hide her enthusiasm. This boy, he'll go far if he leaves this nation. But I also don't want to let him leave. He's cute, and strong to boot.
"WOAH! WHAT A FINISH!" The announcer's voice carried through the arena, ending the silence. It was followed up with a raging roar from the crowd, many whistles could be heard from among the many voices as well. "Young Shurry in his debut bout as executioner, has given us a truly fitting end to these heinous criminals!" She continued, cheering as she spoke. "For all of you out there who may hold any doubts about this punishment, understand that of the five assaulted women, 4 of them were carrying future young men for us. Ones that we will never see… Lost due to their selfish actions." The remaining few who were holding back their cheers, stopped, and joined in the cheers. "His actions today have earned him praise from our goddess! She desires him to sit with her for the rest of the matches!"
The crowd, knowing how high of an honor such an reward was, cheered, hollered, and whistled. Their excitement and jealousy reverberated the air over the arena. Claps, and stomps alike pound the ground.
Hearing all the really loud sounds, Shurry's ears lowered down resting upon his head in an effort to dampen the sounds. Though it was a little too late, the sound had already caused him to lose much of his focus, losing himself in the praise. He started to run around the arena, on all fours, yet still remaining in humanoid form. He built up speed, and made a rapid dash directly towards the goddess' suite, overlooking the arena. Once he reached the wall, his hands and feet converted all of his forward momentum into upward mobility. His natural disposition for agility put on full display as he scaled the rather smooth wall.
"Looks like he's coming to me on his own." Kali grinned.
"Mama Kali!" Shurry shouted once he cleared the height he needed. And with a quick motion he flared his tail to take up more space, and whipped it behind him. This gave him just enough forward momentum once more to make it inside the suite, landing on his feet, with crouched legs, and a tail with a mind of its own.
"You're too adorable." Kali said, rubbing the young werewolf's head with a motherly softness. I may be a goddess of death and destruction. But I am also motherly to those who willingly place me on that pedestal. I could never be mean to this boy. "Come here, let's watch the rest of the fights together. Mother will hold you all day!" Shurry's tail showed his honest feelings on this by creating a stream of air shooting outside the suite. A couple of Amazonesses lost their tops, and one lost their bottoms as well.
"Oh my, such a naughty boy. Almost a year old and already making women all hot and bothered, now you're stripping them too." The familia captain laughed, being the naked one, teasing him. "You're adorable but, I'll need you to wait till you've grown a bit more… Hmm, how long? 10 years? No, that might be too soon still. How about 14, maybe 15 years…"
"Captain, while I understand your desire to be respectful of the boy, but, we shouldn't hold him to a lesser standard than our girls. Not after that display below. So when the girls are supposed to start that, he should be put on the market. And not a day later. A strong man like him needs to be available as soon as possible." The other Amazoness said, feeling up her own body. "He did just make us partially nude, so perhaps earlier even? Maybe the day he has his first, well, you know."
As if excited at the prospect of pinning down and having her way with a strong werewolf, one she watched get strong, and thus could make as strong as she wanted, her body got the better of her. "So, 8 years then. Wait for me until then, alright." She smiled. "Then I'll gobble you all up… Not literally of course."
Shurry, pulled himself in close to Kali, so close in fact his face buried into her belly. One would usually think he was scared however, in his case, the tail was a dead give away about his inner thoughts.
"Alright ladies, that's enough. It's time to watch you fight in mortal combat. If you are able to earn a level up today, I may just let you take a bath with the boy and I later." Shurry looked up at Kali's face, a little confused. "Oh? Do you not want to? I have you for the whole day, and I like to bathe, so you're coming too. I won't have any objections-" She smiled. "Though it seems like there aren't any to have. Your tail is quite honest."
And so, from there, Shurry, laid with Kali on the divan sofa, lined with silky blood-red linens. Shurry watched the brutal death matches from this place on high. From here he saw just how small the conflicts really were, yet, there was sense, purpose, and reason behind them. All participants were willing. And it was here that Kali gently whispered into his ear.
"Death in and of itself is not a bad thing. Here in this arena we understand that fighting comes with the possibility of such a result. And that is why they pin their hopes onto each other, serving as valuable training for the other." She paused, to let that first bit sink in. "Some gods think death should be indiscriminate. But that's wrong, Death must hold meaning, purpose, and weight. Slaughtering the weak and innocent is not what death is about. That is just indiscriminate evil."
