A Parthian Hunt

The massive palace of Persepolis was gilded in the rising Iranian sun as slowly, the rugged terrain of the Fars region became shrouded in light. Servants ran through the massive walled courtyard beside the palace, wheeling out cages full of lions and other beasts. Other cages were filled with dissidents and Shoobans, who now were exposed to the increasingly hot temperature of the sun within the cramped metal cages. Near the courtyard, the finest horses were paraded out and prepared while the fine weapons were cleaned. Inside the reception hall, the Shah waited in his glowing, gilded scale armor topped with a helmet shaped like a crown, with a massive ball of gold shaped like the sun on top of it. With buffets stocked with food, it was time to declare the hunt open.

You must feel like a big man, Shah. Enjoy the show. It may be your last.

Shah, I'm afraid I'd have to side with the president on this one. While although I hate shoobans, there is no need to hunt them. They are harmless as is! Please, i ask you, give up on this, its not worth being hated by others.

But they are like deer, and I give them some means to fight back, so its more fun. Please join in, theres other stuff to hunt too.

I would come but Shooban hunting is boring to me, right now. Plus, I have government stuff to do too.

The massive doors of the reception hall were thrown open, and a tall figure clad in black plate armor stepped through the threshhold. It was Emperor Helldawg V. At his side sat a Gladius, and a composite bow hung across his back. He had on a plumed helm, similar to that worn by Roman generals.

There was an erie black glow coming from the armor as the sun relfected off of it.

"So, when do we start?

Please enlighten me, what does a dear have to fight back with? Dear are animals, with an ability to have no brain at all and have everyone accept it. Shoobans are demi-humans, so if it would please you, unless your giving them weapons to kill you with, I most humbly ask you to not exactly hunt them, but torturing and mass genocide in a small environment would be okay. We wouldn't want any causalties, including foreigners.

Behind Emperor Helldawg's big showy entrance strolled a young man of no more than twenty years in a Imperial Guilder Military Dress uniform with two runes inscribed on his collar patches, stylised I and a C...

The only difference between this man and the typical Guilder Officers was his black with purple silk inside wolf fur topped cloak, he carried a Doomingslandian made rifle, a gift from Emperor Helldawg. At his side he carried an ornate sabre and on the other a small knife. On his peaked cap blazed the sign of the Wolves Head and below that the omnious sign of the Deaths Head.

He walked up to the side of Emperor Helldawg and grinned at the bloodthirsty Helldawg's statement of intent...

It will be certainly fun hunting more sub humans with other honoured leading members of the master race thought Agrippa...
