While visiting a planet in search of new delicacies, Beerus and Whis come across a young girl with physical attributes unlike that of the planet's natives. Upon learning that she is an orphan, the two decide to take her in.
As Whis takes the child t...
Jimahl day patiently in his tent as he waited for his second in command to bring the intruders for judgement. A large scar crossed his face over his left eye, and his heavy armor emphasized his large body. His thoughts wandered as his sensitive ears detected the sound of hooves thumping in the distance. Who would be stupid enough to trespass in these mountains?
Several minutes passed before the sound stopped in the center of the camp and two much lighter footfalls approached his tent. "Jimahl, I have brought their leader for judgement."
"Enter, Yimizu." His loyal second in command urged someone to walk, but more or less pushed them through the entrance. A short woman with a delicate frame stepped quickly to the center of the room, her golden eyes burning with intensity as her fists clenched in their roped binding. Her silver hair swayed about her waistline, emphasizing her curves beneath the revealing clothing. "You're pureblood." It was more of a surprised statement than a question and the woman nodded in response. "All purebloods know the risk of stepping onto our territory, so why would you be so bold?"
"I've come to request your assistance, Mighty One." She bowed respectfully and waited for permission to continue. I suppose her etiquette is passable...
"Assistance? Your fool hearty leaders believe your people are so much greater than ours, so tell me why they would send the likes of you to seek us?"
"With all due respect, Mighty One..." she bowed again, "I came on my own accord. I cannot speak for the thoughts or actions of the ancestors, but I have come in urgency to inform you that Huriah of Diroxia will be arriving shortly, and Dravos intends to form a long-term trade."
Jimahl's own golden eyes narrowed at the mention of Dravos's name. "It would serve you well to remember your place, woman. Last I heard, Dravos was still the prince of Rokos. You are not so fair that you should ignore this title." The woman ignored his threatening tone, but used one of her own.
"Any ruler that would betray his kingdom for women and drink is no ruler at all." Jimahl's attention peaked now, and he leaned forward in interest. "Dravos plans to give the throne to Huriah in exchange for a governing position in Diroxia's army, and he will give our people as slaves. Women and children will be subjugated to unspeakable tortures while the men are slaughtered to prevent any potential uprisings in the future."
"How old are you, woman?" Her cheeks flushed a soft pink color but she held eye contact with Jimahl.
"I have only recently come of age, Mighty One." Jimahl nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I can smell it in the air. Your affinity lies with the beasts of this world, yes?" Athena gave a curt nod and Jimahl rose to his full height. He noticed the girl was smaller than he'd originally believed as she only reached the bottom of his chest. "Have you imprinted as well?" Athena didn't answer and Jimahl waved a dismissive hand. "Forgive me child, that must seem to be an inappropriate question...but for now I'll assume you haven't as you rode in on horses." Her face flushed again and Jimahl folded his arms over his chest. "We will not help you. This is a dispute between your people and Diroxia, and we are not involved. In the event that they bring conflict to our borders, we will show them no mercy...but for now my tribe will not interfere." ————————————————————————

"Dravos, I'll give you one chance, and one chance only to come clean about what happened when I left Athena in your care." The Morvonian prince knelt before the Destroyer; his body was bruised and swollen from the evening prior, and Beerus knew he was felling the pain.
"If you're going to destroy me just get it over with already. I'm not afraid of death." Dravos spoke through clenched teeth, his golden eyes narrow with hatred.
Beerus chuckled in amusement before grabbing the man by the collar of his black shirt and lifted him off the ground to look him in the eye. "If I destroy you, it will be quick and relatively painless...but I have no intention of wasting my energy on a weakling like you. Right now I'm the only thing standing between you and Frieza, and his methods tend to be more eccentric than my own." ————————————————————————

The ride back to the town was silent aside from the heavy footfalls of the horses and other various noises of the waking wildlife around them. Athena's head remained bowed as if she were praying, and her escorts thought on what might await them once they arrived.
Athena looked up once she heard the Queen's Guard cry out in surprise and her horse reared back, startled and nearly throwing her from the saddle. Her golden eyes darted around before locating the source of the disruption. "What are you doing here, Frieza?!" Her scolding did little to affect the Arcosian as she tried desperately to calm her steed.
"So you're really just going to give up that easily?" His arms were folded as always but his expression was one that the girl hadn't seen on him before. "And here I thought you were still the stubborn female you were in your youth...how disappointing." Her golden eyes narrowed slightly before she guided her horse around the alien, her counterparts following close behind. "Huriah intends to rent you out to his visitors." Athena glanced over her shoulder but didn't slow the creature's steady trot. "He has no care for marriage...all you are is a paycheck to him."
"And what care have you?" He used Instant Transmission to appear in front of her and again spooked the steed.
"Although this is neither my planet nor my concern, I'm afraid Lord Beerus gave me an assignment and I must see it through to fruition." Athena rolled her eyes and again tried to go around, but he blocked the way with his tail. "You will not go through with this, am I making myself perfectly clear, Athena?"
Merith dismounted and made her way to stand between the two arguing beings, but Athena hissed an angry command for her to return to her horse. Returning her attention to the tyrant before her, Athena's eyes were wide with rage.
"And you will stand aside, Arcosian..!" Frieza was taken aback as she practically spit the word from her lips. Her expression was twisted and seemed to be a melting pot for several different emotions as her golden eyes burned into him like a branding iron. "I don't care if this planet is in your jurisdiction. I don't care if the you're the 'almighty Lord Frieza'. And I simply don't care for your attitude. You are not my father, nor my husband, nor my king. Your threats mean nothing to me, Arcosian. So if you truly wish to stop me, you will have to kill me."
