*Third Person's POV*

In the cat kingdom were it is south of the Zebra Confederacy, east of Changeling Nests and on it's west and north side of it there is ocean. A great distance away from both Minotaur Highlands and Equestria. The natives of the cat kingdom is differ both culturally and ethnically due to the various of feline breeds. But all anthro cats of that kingdom have a reputation for hot-bloodedness and sexual licentiousness, and for that reason almost every citizen wears very revealing outfits (and a few no clothes at all) and always carry a weapon or two.

Right now, in the capital city of the cat kingdom, Felindra, there is a colosseum with multiple platforms. It has an audience, over thousand people, and it watches the fight going on down there. The gladiator fight lasted for at least an hour or two. But soon it just got intense due to the whole arena coverd in bloodied and hacked corpses, and there are only four remaining fighters left in the arena. Three female cat warriors fights as a team and one strange armored warrior who fights solo are about to fight each other in order to be the victor of this game.

*Arton Ravenheart's POV*

Yeah, well here I am. So you all problably wonder 'What the hell am I doing in the cat kingdom'?

Well the answer is quite simple, I had to. Why? Well you all see... It has been a whole year since I came to Griffonstone, and since I had my first time sex with the two zebras, King Glyn hired me to be a personal bodyguard of his daughter, Gianna.

Since he offered fair payment and allowed me to live in luxery in Griffonstone I quickly accepted it. Gianna was very gregarious and quite a socializer, almost a bit childish but that's why I kind of like her. She know how to make people smile, being her bodyguard was quite eventful because of all those suitors always pester her everyday. She always give me the pleasure to puch, kick and throw all of them away from her, much of her parent's annoyance.

I seemed to have made a name for myself for rescuing the princess and other victims and became quite popular in Griffonstone. But also hated.

You see, all those suitors that I'm driving away were highborn nobles seeking her hand in marriage to became part of royalty. So for giving them a painful hard time, they all tried to get rid of me by either challange me or bribe me out of their kingdom; some even tried to threaten me out. But the worst part is that one night, King Glyn asked me to come to their royal chamber where his wife and daughter is waiting.

When I arrived, they told me that they recieved a letter from Queen Faust.... Queen 'Fucking' Faust!

I remember her, especially after what she has done. Anyway, Glyn explained to me that somehow one of the griffon nobles who hates me found out about my crisis with the red hair horse bitch and informed her about my whereabouts. And as a result she requested King Glyn to turn me over to her in chains, saying that I am evil or a demon from bloody tartarus wanting to enslave and subjugate the world or something. Totally, utterly and absolutely bull crap!

I explained my part of the whole incident with her. Luckly Gianna and her mother believed my completely, King Glyn was at first skeptical but he soon believed me as well. He wrote back to Faust and told her to piss off and leave me alone.

But it only make my trouble more worse! Because not only does Faust reply with threats and demands for me, I have even encounted several spies and assassins from Equestria who tried to take me. A few times, I even meet some griffin thugs attacking me several times. Hired either by those pesky nobles or that fucking bitch Faust to capture or kill me on sight. It was getting on my nerves, I mean you have no idea how angrier I get for each attempt on me. The worst part is that during all of Fausts attacks on me, princess Gianna and sometimes her parents got caught in the crossfire. One time, Queen Genna took her whole family out for a picknick. I was invited due to being her daughter's bodyguard, during that time a group of pegasi and griffins attacked us and I was the only one who could fight them off. King Glyn was a good fighter too but he got speared in the chest ones and for that reason he was stuck in bed for a long time.

Ever since that attack, I think it is more safe for me to leave Griffinstone for their safety. Think about it, Queen Faust is after me and me alone, no one else have to suffer because of it. Gianna begged me not to go but her mother, Genna, reasoned with her and gave me permision to go. Genna gave me a huge coin purse full of gold and Gianna only gave me a hug, while sniffling and holding back her tears. I said my goodbye to them and therefore I was gone from Griffonstone.

And so, after a week or two walking I came to a griffon harbour and paid a trip to Cat Kingdom. Since I never been there before, I figured 'Why Not?'.

Now the Cat Kingdom that I heard about was the homeland of all sorts of anthro feline breeds and neighbour to the Zebra Tribes and the Changeling Nests. It has a reputation of being rich in ores and fruits, good use for crafts and trade. But it also have many sorts of feral monsters and beasts that they hunt and eat, as well as a challange for warrior prestige. What shocked me the most is that every one in that kingdom wore little to no coverage upon their bodies; literally. I know the temperature of that kingdom is bloody hot and wearing ordinary clothes would make you sweat like hell, but I can't imagine that there would be an entire kingdom, full of near-naken people. Who in the world could comprehend this sort of indecency!? It would be a miracle if I could adapt this sort of weirdness of a culture, I have better luck of being invisible.

So to help myself, I wore a full body cloak over my armor. Because I don't want to draw far too much nude attention, it worked a little. When I went to a tavern I paid one gold coin for a room, the tavern owner said that for one gold coin I could stay for a week; really?

Anyway, the day after my arrival of Felindra, the feline capital. When I was eating a good meal in the tavern, I overheard from a group of male felines about a colosseum where fighters could fight to earn a huge fortune of money. Although I already have a lot of money, more wouldn't hurt. Before I paid the tavern owner for the meal I asked him where the colosseum is, I was lucky he had a map to point me out the way to it. After that, I took an hour walk until I finally reached the gigantic building.

I signed myself in for the gladiator game. From the start, there were six teams; one with six griffons, one is a lonely minotaur, one with three feline females, one is a dragon and one is a group of eight diamond dogs. Then we have me, fighting on my own, the crowd demanded that I remove my cloak and show them all who I am. I decided that since I was allowed inside I could at least have the manners to reveal myself. I threw my cloak away and all they get is my own armor with a new warhammer.

I was wearing a horned knight armor with a well fashioned warhammer. This armor can generate vibration for me to use to enhance and infuse it with my warhammer for better physical attacks, releasing seismic waves upon contact, even my own punches and kicks can generate vibration waves that can push targets over, repulsed them away, shatter them, even cause earthquakes by shaking the ground, thus causing earthquakes.

When the fight began, four of those teams fought against each other while the dragon charge at me. He wielded a giant axe straight at me, but I meet that with a swing of my warhammer and once our weapons made contact by the swing his great axe shattered by the vibration waves from my weapon. It was so shocking and awesome that the fighting and the cheering stopped and started at the scene. The dragon fighter was to suprised by his broken weapon that he forgotten to keep his attention towards me, I took advantage to that and with another swing of my warhammer, I completely destroyed his head and as his headless body fell down all the fighters aimed all their eyes on me.

I took five step forward and then two griffons and four diamond dogs charged at me while the other fighters start killing each other. I don't know why the griffons and the dogs teamed up against me, since they were opponents to each other to, but I know one thing; less thinking more hammering.

After (I think) an hour of fighting and killing, the only ones standing was me and a group of three female feline warriors. I can almost mistake them as legendary cat amazons. There were three of them; one white, one red and one dark-grey, weilding curved blades and were near-naked as well!

As I stood with my own fighting stance, I notices those three whispered to each other before nodding their heads to each other. The red one decided to go first, it looks like they want to fight me one at the time, clearly they are underestimating me. Time seemed to slow down for just an instant as we both took up guards. The red female warrior's stance was flawless, not an opening to be found. I would have to get her to make one of her own accord. I shifted my stance slightly, just enough to create a perceived opening that was actually a trap.

After a minute of staring, she lashed out at the first opening she saw, which was my trap. As she came in with an intention to cut my head off, I sidestepped and brought my warhammer towards her legs. She jumped to doughed that and tried to slash me again. This time I used the handle of my warhammer to deflect her blade and kicked her in the belly, releasing a seismic wave from my foot I send her flying towards the wall where she crashed very hard. The wall cracked and she was bleeding through her mouth and nose, I'm sure she was knocked unconscious but some would presume she was dead by a mere foot.

The white one seemed angered by this and immediately charged at me with her pudao, I quickly swinged my warhammer to meet her weapon directly. Her weapon quickly shattered and before she could act I swinged my warhammer right at her chin, sending her flying up to the sky and she fell down to the ground. (She is unconscious but due to the blood from her face people think she is dead)

Then here comes the drak grey one with two curved daggers, and just when I was prepared to meet her attack she stopped and took a fighting stance to. Looking at each other's eyes, we walked in circle in waiting for the other to attack. After a minute of circling each other, she quickly jumped at me with her two daggers up to stab me. I was almost suprised by this attack but my reflexes helped me evade it, I swinged my warhammer with a few spins to keep her in a distance. But after a while I decided to jump forward towards her for a frontal assault. She jumped backward to evade me, however, I used that to bring my warhammer to the ground and send out a wave of vibrations towards her. And guess what, it works because I send her flying towards the wall and she was very dizzy. I took advantage to that and quickly charge forward and bring my warhammer in a piercing way. I yelled 'surprise you bastard!' before my warhammer hit her right in her belly and knocked her unconscious.

After that victory in the arena, I claimed my prize which is 10 000 gold coins in a sack. As I took the mony with me back to my room in the tavern, I held my own private celebration with a nice meat meal and a bottle of ale. To my suprise, a female white canine with silver hair and yellow eyes, and she was wearing such revealing plant-like outfit came towards me and starts flirting with me. She said her namne was Nemala and she was in the arena and saw my battle. It seems she has taken a liking to me, but then again she could be just after my money, after all when you are rich what chances are there that you would stumble across a gold digging female. As she keeps flirting with me, a few more anthro females comes to the table to join in my 'private' victory feast.

After a long night of talking, laughing and (from their part) flirting; as well as asking me about my species and why I 'wear too much clothes on me'(questions which I dodged a lot), all of them decided to take me to my room to have, as they put it, a heck of a night that I will never forget. In other word, we all ended up in my room having a rough and wild sex session. I don't know how long it took but I ended waking up with five naked females laying all over me with the white wolf's breasts buried my face with so I could not see anything. As we all woke up sooner, well let's say that I'm glad to be wrong about them, they didn't seem to be a group of gold digger girls because all of my money and items were still in my room so nothing was stolen from me.

Once I was completely dressed, along with my cloak to cover my whole body, I decided to look at the tavern wall to see if there are any bounties to take. After taking three most exspensive ones and was about to be on my way, but as soon as I got out of the tavern I was surrounded by a group of (half-naked) feline guards with spears and swords. Just what the fuck is going on now!?

"Do you happens to be Arton Ravenheart, sir?" One of the guards asked me.

"Why, who's asking?" I asked suspiciously.

That said guard showed me a wanted poster with MY bloody face with it.

Oh hell!

"The ruler of Equestria claims that you are a terrorist and a criminal, our king wants to have a word with you." Said that guard, but before he could say anything else I spoke.

"Oh for fuck sake, and here I though I could make a living without any persecution." I said.

Once I take hold of my cloak, my body inside my hood and the fornt of my cloak glowed for a second, and then I tossed it aside to reveal my new armor. I wear the armor of Sandor Clegane from Game of Thrones, with the gauntlets of Basque Grand from Fullmetal Alchemist, wielding a simple and fancy warhammer on my right hand.

This armor with the gauntlest and the warhammer combined grants me a magic based on elemental transmutations, changing any element, liquid, gaseous, or plasma and use them for various combat styles with my warhammer.

"Well for your information, YOU WILL NEVER TAKE ME ALIVE!" I yelled as I was about to strike the ground with my warhammer to begin fighting my war out of this city.

"HOLD IT!" A feminine voice yelled out and stopped everyone from acting, including myself.

We all looked into a certain direction and what we saw was a female feline with a staff and a stern face, and she was accompanied by two half-naked females as well. When the guards saw her they all seems nervous.

"P- p- princess-" The said guard stuttered.

Princess? Huh, so she is royal.

"I told you all, to NOT engage!" The princess said in a harsh tone, which caused all the guards to back away in shame.

After that she and her 'companions' looked at me and came until she is like ten feets away from me.

"I apologize for their incompetence, but we need you to come with us to the royal palace." She said.

"I know where this will lead to, and I will NOT be punished for a crime I did not committed!" I said in my own harsh tone.

"How can we know that you have committed crimes or not. It's important to us to know why Queen Faust so desperately want to take you down." She spoke, and I was starting to loose my temper.

"I. Do. Not. Have. To. Stand. For. This!" I said in a calm but furious voice.

We two looked at each other in the eyes and this whole situation is getting way more tensed. But after a minute or two and silence, one of her female companion poked her in her right shoulder and whispered something in her ear. I couldn't hear a thing due to the distance between us, but I saw the princess nodded at her before looking at me again.

"How about this then? If you cooperate with us, you will have the right to have a trial by combat." She said. Now that took me by suprise.

"You have that kind of law?" I asked with interest, because if they do this could help me out of this mess.

"Yes, although only our citizens have right to that we are willing to make an exception and allow you to have that to. Think about it, after you have answered a few questions that my king-father have you can then demand a trial by combat and fight for your freedom. Pretty simple, what do you say?" She asked.

This could be a trap, but what if it's not. It would be absolutely foolish to reject that, with my warrior skills I could use this to get out of here more quickly. Even though I must be prepared for any trickery and deceptions, I personally think that this is too good to pass. After thinking about it for a while I placed my warhammer on my back and stood straight.

"Done." I said in agreement.

Author's Note

Hey everyone, sorry it took so long, Writer's Block.

Those of you who dosen't like Arton's choice of decisions, undertand this, Arton's power of Indomitable Rage has side effects that makes him more aggressive and less rational, read the limitations of this power and I'm sure you all will understand.

Also about the next chapter, which will be about Arton's trial in Canterlot. Because of my Writer's Block, I can't come up with any ideas of how to proceed. So I would be most thankful if any of you could provide me a few stories or chapters where the main characters were on trial and help me get some ideas how Arton shall handle it.

Thank you all and have a good day!
