Malakai sat triumphantly on his throne. It seemed as if nothing would knock this tyrant from his perch, where he stayed like a canary. Lousy old brute, his forced-labor accountant throught without a reason to be wrong.This fool ruled with an iron fist, regardless of what his screaming advisor told him. He might as well let everyone who was to give him a word of advice go.

He never was the best of listeners, and the power of ruling Pathagrin had made it even worse. His maroon Pawradin eyes mooved in her direction, making her own silvery semi-human eyes return to her work. Wait, you mean you don’t know what a Pawradin is? What planet are you… oh, wait, earth, right. Auntie Terra.

The Pawradin are a race in which the overly proud members have eyes as maroon as the setting sun… here on mother Venus. The Pawradin are the most arrogant race on our planet. They have paws, from which they get their names, usually as maroon as their eyes.
