The provocation was unfounded Yet Roy couldn't understand why His beloved decided to slap him Roy for the first time in his life Has just received a slap from a she Seething he hides the lion barely Leaves with grace seething with rage Satient for now his knowledge is complete He has just bee vindicated and he knows it Earlier that morning Roy was shedding tears Scouts don't joke with lions.. Roy vindicated ROY.. Is fully armed now he wields the shield Defender turning villain he can taste his anger A defining moment he turns and executes Executes the forbidden military move - wields The lion is armed with- 'ngungi' On his back the forbidden shield The eagles tail at a distance Its a near blood bath At the last moment roy executed the reversal Executes the reverse move stopping the force With his own body... the 'ngungi' is contained Roy now wield's the powerful shield IME wields the katana glint of silver Defender you just passed the test To wield the most powerful shield In the defense of your people... The bottled fury - anger Dont joke with lions - advice Boy scout honour.. prvt Srek Private command centre.. PMC CODE 254 PRIVATE - Nyaga Thoome wairegi KINGS COUNSEL
