SOUL'S LIFE CHAPTER 2 ''Entering Royalty'' ''Greetings, your majesty.'' A tall, black skull politely said. ''Hello, Thunder. How's Strike? Storm never gave me a chance to ask.'' Queen Pelmi replied. ''Dead. He died today. Did you not know?'' Thunder asked. ''Oh! That's terrible. How'd he die?'' Queen Pelmi exclaimed. ''It's those darn foxes. They never leave the other tribes alone,'' Thunder sighed. ''Strike was in the battle patrol. He was the only death out of the skulls. The foxes are weak, though, according to Imogen.'' ''Argh! We'll have to put up barriers.'' Queen Pelmi replied. Thunder stared at Soul. ''Hello little one,'' Thunder purred. ''H-hi..'' Soul stammered. ''He's a bit shy,'' Queen Pelmi laughed. ''I can tell. Where's Ambus? Sorry, King Ambus?'' Thunder asked. ''Somewhere.'' ''Heh, I bet he's off doing his thing. 'UGH I'M KING AMBUS UGH UGH UGH'' Thunder laughed. ''That's basically him, right?'' ''Hah, yeah. Anyway, Soul is trying to escape me, so I better go. See ya around!'' Queen Pelmi purred. Thunder nodded. Soul heard Thunder whisper to the other guard. ''You totally love her.'' The other guard whispered. ''Maybeee'' Thunder quietly giggled. Inside the palace, Soul kept on getting compliments. ''Oh, he's so cute!" ''Aww, what a sweetie!" "You look JUST like your mother!" Queen Pelmi put him down on her bed. ''Sleep now, Soul,'' ''You've had a big day,'' The next day, Soul woke up on Thunder's shoulder. ''Here you go, your majesty,'' Thunder said, passing Soul to Queen Pelmi. ''Thank you.'' She smiled. ''Come on, Soul. We're going to watch your father get killed.'' Queen Pelmi whispered to Soul. Soul didn't know if he should reply. ''O- a- -e....'' ''Um, Soul? I'm your mother, you shouldn't be shy to me!" ''I.. uh,, umm.. o.. a.. h.. o..'' ''I think he has social anxiety.'' Thunder shrugged. Queen Pelmi looked up at Thunder. ''At such a young age? He was born 5 days ago!'' Queen Pelmi said. ''You know, my sister, Pearl? The dead one? Yeah, she developed social anxiety at 5 days old.'' Thunder replied. ''I know... but he's different! If he had social anxiety he would would be feeling judged and scared and embarrassed all the time near other Skulls!'' 'Social anxiety? What's that? I get embarrassed and scared and feel judged!' Soul pondered. Queen Pelmi ran. ''COME ON! WE'RE GOING TO MISS THE EXECUTION!'' She exclaimed. Soul stared at Thunder in disgust. 'What's so good about an execution? Is it food? I want to try eating it!' He thought while pulling a cute, disgusted face at Thunder. Thunder took no notice.
