Description Techna, at the moment, was dealing with the plans for her brother’s coronation so that she didn’t have to deal with being married to a coyote from a war planet. Marques was the arrogant prince from a planet of honorable warrior coyotes, and under normal circumstances, Techna might have considered marrying one of their kind, but not Marques. Marques was known as an abusive torturer who had won many battles and hid his cruelty in them, but that didn’t fool Techna. She knew who he really was. He was not only an abusive liar, but he was also a power hungry sexist who believed females were only good for raising children and keeping house. They weren’t smart in his opinion, which made Technacalice all the more inclined to not marry him. It didn’t help that in his fight with her brother, who had surprisingly proven himself to be quite the warrior himself, had burnt half his face with a nearby torch when Marques had insulted his sister by calling her a cowardice fool.
Eaze E. Coyote, or Eazel Etchicus Coyote, was a leader with a skill for drawing. He had learned to be a great leader from his parents and from observing how the worlds worked amongst others. He had become one of the best rulers that the planet had seen since his grandfather, Erik the great. His people knew that their princess would be forced to marry an awful man as well as he become their leader if they couldn’t get peace organized through their two kingdoms. Eaze had looked at the treaty that had caused such a ruckus between the two kingdoms and had found only two solutions that would save his sister. They had already tried one, for Techna had already run away. The only other option was for her to have fallen in love with another. While Marques was an unreasonable creature, his parents were not. They knew their son was harsh and cruel and once it had been brought to light what he really wanted, the Coyotus Crystals, a set of the most powerful crystals in the universe, they were eager to try a different course to obtain peace, at least through legal terms that wouldn’t break the treaty.
The Coyotus crystals were a set of crystals that had been infused with the magic of the planet and its greatest wisdoms. They were said to be guarded by the female of the royal families, but against their usual customs, once Princess Technacalice had turned of age to marry, that is to say, sixteen, she had been entrusted with these precious jewels. Technacalice used her wisdom and knowledge to keep them hidden whenever she needed too, and that had been the only thing keeping people like Marques from taking over the universe. Each crystal was powerful and represented a different thing. They represented many good things, but to use their power would often come with a terrible price if done incorrectly or for the wrong reasons. Very few were successful at using the crystals’ powers without suffering the consequences. Many believed that Technacalice was one of the few who could use the powers without consequence, that and the fact that she was the only one who knew where the crystals were hidden, were the real reasons for Marques wanting to marry her. It also helped that she was extremely attractive, no matter how you looked at her. Technacalice had no interest in marrying Marques, for many reasons, but the top one was that her heart belonged to another.
“… and remember that once this coronation is done I’m heading back home to my team.” Techna was getting herself pricked by the royal seamstresses for her wedding dress that she insisted was unnecessary.
“Yes, your highness, but you must be prepared to marry someone or at least be in a relationship.” Techna’s head seamstress, Tiana De Seam, who was also one of her personal advisors, was trying to get her to understand that no matter what she had to get married. She was a princess. “Who exactly do you have in mind for your groom if not Prince Marques? You can do so much better, and I’d prefer it if my old friend got married to someone she loved.” They had been friends since Techna had been five. Tiana served many positions for Techna; nanny, seamstress, advisor, friend, teacher in all things ladylike, and comfort for when things went bad. Tiana was only ten years older, but had seemed more like a mother to the young princess than her real mother ever did. She was a sandy furred coyote with golden eyes and known to wear her signature dress made of blue silk from the planet Blanc. The only family that Techna had ever really felt close to, were her partners in crime, her brother, Eaze, and her twin sister.
They had grown up together caring for each other no matter what life threw at them till Eaze suggested she run away. She was hesitant to do so without him, but he assured her that he’d be fine. He always was. She and her twin managed to get away thanks to him.
“While on the planet of Acmetropolis, I met a gentlemen in the most unlikely of beings. I thought, at first, that our species would keep it apart till I remembered that my ancestor, Wile E. Coyote, had once been best of friends with one of the same species. Though, Wile had to act like he hated his best friend for the sake of their careers as movie stars.” She chuckled. “I didn’t expect to find a gentlemen while hiding there. I just wanted to go to college like a normal girl and graduate from a university. I was pretty close to it for a while there, but things happened and then the meteor from three years ago… and then the Loonatics…”
“So, I guess you never saw him again after the meteor?”
“No, I saw him again. He became one of my teammates on the Loonatics…. I had to… masquerade as a boy… I thought it would help me hide more…” She hated to lie to her friends, especially when they were really concerned for her. “I’m not sure how he feels about me though…”
A knock came from the door. “Your Highness, your brother, Prince Eaze, wishes you to be present as he welcomes some guests that he has invited. He is sure that you shall be ever so grateful to see them. They are due to arrive any minute now, mi’ lady.” The head butler, Techna and Eaze’s father figure, James Fur, was the kind of person who saw the two as his own children, just like Tiana did, and cared deeply for their well being as well as their world’s future. He was one of Eaze’s top advisors since his sister’s disappearance, and it was because of him that the two knew about all the secrets of the castle and how to find loopholes. He had been their instructor for the majority of the things as well as teaching Eaze how to fight with a sword. He was a silver back coyote with a touch of black still in his fur from his fighting days in the army as a general. He knew more than he let on and could judge anyone’s personality just from looking at them. He was useful to have around when you wanted to know if someone was lying to you, or meant you harm.
“Very well, I’ll be there after I’m out of this dress. Thank you, General.”
“Please, your highness, I’m no longer in that position. I’m simply James.”
“You still deserve the respect of your title, even if you have chosen to become butler with your retirement.” With Techna, there was no real way to get the last word if she was right about something, especially when it came to respect.
