Oluta gave Shurry several weeks to train with the Amazonesses, and process the events that transpired in the proving chamber before she bothered to bring up the next thing he'd have to do. I hope he's ready for this. It's extremely different from just killing a monster. But, he should be able to do it once the explanation comes out. She heaved a sigh, and then the door opened with Shurry running in and rapidly closing the door, he was breathing incredibly heavy. "Oh my? What could have caused this kind of reaction?"
"They tricked me into saying they were pretty. Now they won't leave me alone." Shurry expressed in a panicked, and unstable tone of voice.
Stunned, Oluta just stared at the door, then waved for Shurry to come to her. "Didn't I tell you to be careful? Amazonesses like us are always thirsty for more. Until, we end up around this big that is." She smiled, rubbing her belly.
Shurry raised his hand up and rubbed Oluta's belly. "My sister will be here soon, right? What's her name going to be?" He asked, with a curious smile.
Just as Oluta was about to answer, the door to her office swung wide open to reveal several Amazonesses. Each of them, still covered in the sweat from their training. Some of their cloth straps had fallen down from their chests to their waists.
"Ma'am, let us have that Shurry boy, he needs a bath." One of them came up with an explanation on the fly.
"Oh? It looks like you need a bath yourself."
"Then I can take and wash him with me."
Oluta could see the look in the Amazoness' eyes. "It's fine, I'd like to take a bath myself. So there's no need to worry about it. I bathe him every day as it is. It's nothing new." She smiled, then narrowed her vision. "Or are you in it for some other reason? Know that if you touch him inappropriately, I'll kill you without hesitation."
The Amazonesses had a moment of excitement at the prospect. It was like they were actually considering it. Then they left to get a bath. That night those particular Amazonesses got a significantly smaller meal. This was of course because they were traumatizing a boy that would eventually grow into a powerful tool for their race. A man with damn near unlimited stamina, well… That changes everything. Of course this was just a simple hope they held, nonetheless it was important.
The next day was once again a day for the arena tournaments. Though they always started with the criminals first… Why? Because the country loved to watch the blood flow from a battle to the death. To them, nothing was more exciting than a desperate struggle, with one side losing their life, or their freedom. Amazoness got hot and bothered over just about anything, and if they didn't fight to satisfy their cravings, they'd pin a slave down and have their way with them whenever, and wherever.
The announcer was preparing her speeches with excitement when she noticed something odd in her notes… She turned to look at Oluta, as if asking for confirmation she glanced at the boy.
"Ma'am, is this really alright? Some of the criminals today, even if they don't have a falna, they've been doing manual labor the majority of their lives. He'll be in danger-"
"There's no need to worry, The captain is ready to intercede at a moment's notice. Besides, Shurry here is rather strong in his own right. I'm positive he'll manage. And it's not like he has to kill all of the death row criminals. Only the ones that forced themselves on a woman." She explained, narrowing her eyes towards the end.
"Huh?" Shurry was confused, then looked at the announcer to explain.
"Can you read, little Shurry?" He nodded. "Good, then I'll let you read it. I only have enough restraint in me to read it aloud once."
Shurry read the note. This is horrifying. "Regardless of whoever the perpetrator, or target… A crime like this deserves death." He said, handing the card back to the announcer, then looked up at his adoptive mother. "I can go all out right? They might as well be monsters, right?"
Oluta's tense anger shifted to laughter after hearing Shurry's suggestion. "Yes, you should do whatever you want to them. Just make sure they die, and if you can do it in an embarrassing way, that's for the best."
"Wow, it's rare for a boy to act like that to another male."
"I know what it's like to be lusted after… All too well. I'm lucky and get away in time." He said, shivering. "I want to show that I don't condone it in any way. And show what will happen if it's done to me."
Blinking rapidly, and in shock at the prospect some of the Kali familia would actually lust after the little boy in front of her. I mean, yeah he's absolutely precious. And I'd love to pet those ears and that tail all day long. But I'd never think of doing to him what we do to the slaves. Some Amazonesses really do need to die… "Ma'am, if you keep a list of the names, you are likely to find others who'd love nothing more than to kill the tainted ones on that list. I'm sure of it-"
"Lady Kali has already instructed me to do so. The list is a lot longer than I thought it would be. But it just means I have to protect my little boy."
"Coming from one known as the executioner, those words are rather funny."
A little bit of banter back and forth continued while the remaining bits of set up continued. Shurry was yawning at the end of it. Soon, the sound of drums announced the prelude to the arena death battles. People rushed to their seats, doing their best to find good ones. And while they were doing that, the match ups were finalized.
However, in an effort to drum up even more energy among the crowd, Shurry was placed into the arena right away. This wasn't just a rarity, it was simply unheard of. A battle to death and the first match had a young, adorable boy in the matches. A roar of anticipation filled the air, and betting began in earnest.
