You needed not to say such things to Tal'Rakan twice. In fact, after hearing those words and seeing the room, The Lynx needed not to even hear it once. Not that he even could properly understand it. Not in his current state at least. His mind shut off, allowing for all base instincts of a...

Standing up and padding around the desk, Tal'rakan was showing no hesitation or shyness at all. After all, he was raised in culture that was, in principle, open to such things. He had more than two parents himself and even then he saw them looking for fun elsewhere at times. Not all children of...

Tal'Rakan was a bold beast. Not unapologetic, but he was in no way meek. Thus he finished the glass of brandy and put it on the desk that separated him and the High Priestess, leaning in closer. With a dashing smile he mused playfully while brushing his paw through his sideburns. "You aren't...

Rakan knew that his duel would be lost if he wasn't decisive. He was wearing little after all, one hit from the flail and he would be good as dead. Thus he decided to not let that happen. He threw himself at the armoured opponent, using his size as an advantage to push them onto the floor and...

The lynx took the revelation with an approving chuckle then followed by observing the metal leg and paw. It was very elaborate, and he was very impressed by it, knowing that his land could offer prettier replacements, but definitely not ones working as well to allow for normal walking. However...

Tal'Rakan gladly poured more brandy, first to fill the High Priestess Orina's glass before refilling his own again. "Well said really, Phoenixes hesitate not to use their talons to cut down their enemies, yet staprility of the realm was pruilt on making an orderly system where each of their...

Rip and tear until it’s done. That’s how Tal’Rakan fought before he became elevated to warrior caste and then became a general. After all, as most conscripted serfs, he started with nothing but his claws to fight. Weapons and armours were restricted for warriors or those who had reason to own...

Tal'Rakan was glad to hear the desirable way of conducting this conversation. Straightforward, informal and it being an exchange. After a one long sip again and relaxing his posture again fully, he chuckled at the request just as much as the mischievous curiosity that flashed in Minister's...

After taking a sit, sprawling himself over the chair like the cat he was to get into most comfortable position, taking a sniff, Rakan recognised the drink. It was called Brandy here and he couldn't say a bad word about it. As expected, leader of Entertainers caste was laid-back, not as pompous...

The Lynx was positively surprised to talk to someone militarily inclined. Sure, some Entertainers back home were training arts like blade or spear-dancing. Some also used bows in very artistic ways. In the recent civil war they took actual part in fighting but they were usually not to willing to...

Tal'Rakan was suddenly very popular after the events at the Opera. Apparently a lot of beasts of various social strata were thrilled to have such exotic guests and with his fighting he was also mystified among many. He loved the attention and it also did apparently help a lot with getting...

Tal'Rakan pounced at another fox, digging his claws into their cranium and them pulling it to block a barrage of bolts coming his way. The blood, the fire, the absolute carnage. The lynx felt divine ecstasy as all those were perfect celebrations of The Red Phoenix. He had almost believed that...

The one thing about felines was that they all shared some traits. Grace, ferocity, spacial awareness, just to name a few. While each species had their own traits and advantages, felines were easily specialised in being greatest predators among them. That was why Phoenixes took their form, that...

@Kal Goldtail Tal'Rakan shrugged, the question was leisure, but he really had given it some thought before. Would foreign beasts, especially from a land that such fervently believed in chaos and anarchy be welcomed among the children of Phoenixes? Technically they all were coming from them...

Fighting the backlines was a strategically sound idea. It made the ranged units much less useful as they had to scramble in melee. With element of surprise, it could spell disasters for entire armies. But Tal'Rakan was a lone beast. Unarmoured, using his claws to kill and a picked up sword to...
