The Auran Exodus (For Angel)

The Auran empire had been prepared for an impromptu invasion from the northern regions for years now. The war like north tribes had been forming alliances and massing together into one giant group, quite a feat for the normally warring tribes. Yes, the empire had been completely prepared for an invasion from the north.

What they hadn't been ready for was an invasion from the southern kingdom, Rosar. Caught unawares by their normally placid neighbors, their borders were stormed and war was declared. There was only one thing to do, and that was perform a mass exodus of their borderline villages towards the center of the empire while the troops were moved and rearranged to buy time.

And so, Artin had to leave his farm behind. He'd already sent away all of his workers, making sure that they all got a good head start on him so that they would definitely make it to a place where they'd be safe before he loaded up his wagon and started to head out on his own. The equine gave a sad smile towards his home of ten years, praying that he would be able to return to it some day.

But for now, the stallion just made sure he had enough food and water for the trip, not sure how long he'd be on the road, made sure he had as much money as he can carry.. and then he gave the Danthar a soft swat with the crop. They started down the road.

[Angel]

As he began down the road, he passed the buildings of the now empty farm. Everything seemed sadly quiet... Except one builiding...

The food stores building had its door open, gently flapping in the breeze. That was not normal...

Inside, Darus, a young, feminine fox thief, smirked, stuffing a bag with food! War suited his interests just fine; It made for easy ransacking! His plump tush wiggled towards the door, as he took as many crops as he could manage.

Blinking, the stallion frowned and cased his movement for a moment. Raising a brow, he flicked his blond mane out of the way and hopped down, off of the wagon, and walked towards the food stores. He could have sworn he'd locked those down before he left. He slowly slid inside, glancing around and frowning a little bit as he saw a bit of fox rump wiggling about. He crossed his arms. "Enjoying yourself?"

[Angel]

A loud eep left the fox, followed by a -THUMP!- as his head bonked against the food case's top.

"Owww... Dammit all!" he hissed, before remembering he'd been caught. Spinning around, the cute fox boy drew a dagger!

...Only to notice a huge, strong looking, handsome stallion standing there. His ears drooped, and he gulped.

"Boy, you better put down that dagger," he ordered. "Or this is going to get a whole lot worse for you." He crossed his arms, showing no fear, daring the fox to make any move except the one that he commanded.

[Angel]

Darus felt the blood drain from his face. Scared of the big, tough farmer, he shakily put the dagger back in its place.

"H-Hey... No need for violence here... We can settle this peacefully!" he tried, trying to use his girlish charms, combined with how un-frightening he was to try and escape!

"I'm sure that we can." He reached over and grabbed the fox's ear, tugging him out of the stores. "But let's start off with something a bit polite, hm? My name is Artin. What is yours?" he asked, leading the fox over to his wagon.

[Angel]

An adorable yipe left the boy, as he walked on his tiptoes in an attempt to reduce the pain of his ear being taken in hand. He whiiiined to the horse.

"Owww! M-My name is Darus...!" he said, squirming up a storm.

"Well, Darus, you have been a very, very bad boy, stealing food from my stores." He stopped before his wagon and sat down on the back, lifting the fox up and undoing his pants, starting to strip him. "And there's only one thing that can be done with such a bad, bad boy like you."

[Angel]

The fox gasped as the stallion began working his clothes off. He immediately reached down trying to stop him.

"H-Hey! What in the seven hells do you think you're doing?" he yelped cutely to him.
