" I'm going to head back out." Putting down her food she looked at me " your leaving again, we aren't fighting anymore and I need your help here." It has been a week since our coronation and I've helped were I could but I wanted to head back out again
" I know but I really want to get this done and the sooner I do the quicker I can help."
" Alright just get back to me as fast as you can I need you." I stared at her in surprise
" what...your not going to yell at me."
" I know better then to waste my breath by now just make it quick."
" yes ma'am." Moving over to her I gave her deep kiss before teleporting to the beast empire
" umm is that normal." Around the table everyone watched the scene in front of them not sure what to make of their new rulers openness
" believe me when I say we have many secrets and if your on her le then we trust you enough to be open with you so don't think to much about it we get absorbed in our own world anyway
Appearing the clatter of the city hit me
looking around at the people an how peaceful and happy they seemed to be brought a smile to my face, it made me feel like the fighting an pain I went through was worth it
' I wonder If the others feel the same way.'
Speaking of the devils " oof come on big guy." I suddenly got lifted off the ground by rede for a giant panda he was surprisingly stealthy
" nice to see you again...been a long time."
" you know I'm a king now I really shouldn't let you do this to me." Smiling I tried to wiggle out of his grip but he had me good
" ha, right and I'm the queen who would be stupid enough to name you their king." Kana wasn't far from us standing next to Wolfgar and his two wives both of them were carrying a baby in their arms
" a desperate nation of dragons...and they technically didn't crown me but Elise." The smirk on kana's face said it all
" I see so your just king by association nice." Laughing wolfgar came to my side patting me on the back " Alright Alright, don't chew him out to much, congratulations on your new position my friend." Kana pouted at having her fun ruined
" thank you an since we are on the subject I wanted to talk about expanding out supply line the demands for both are city now are overwhelming us I could use whatever you can spare,you will be compensated accordingly. "
He waved my statement away "there is no need we are friends after all with out you and your wife we wouldn't have the empire we do now, come let's discuss this on the road we have a bit of a journey ahead of us."
He pointed to a carriage surrounded by guards,the standard at the door opened it for the queens to enter followed by us,kana and rede stayed on the outside to help guard us for the journey
I contacted wolfgar a few weeks ago about my quest and he was happy to help me by introducing me to the leader of a village in the mountains I had to traverse
***
A few day later in the frozen mountains of the beast empire Shane was playing with a young woman who had a pair of fox ears and five tails
" can you teach me to move my tail like that too that's so cool." Manipulating the ball they were playing with using her tail like it was her arm she past it to the little prince " I can try, but it just comes to me naturally."
" Shane dear your father's about to arrive I here he is bringing a guest both of you should get cleaned up."
Grabbing Shane she put him on her shoulders and started back to tent that served as their home " looks like the fun has come to a end."
After getting cleaned and dressed up a bit they gathered in the tent waiting for their visitors to arrive and it didn't take long for the tents entrance to open
" ahhh it nice not to be assaulted by the cold hate that the carriages can't take us here." Kana entered the rent not happy about walking for hours up a freezing mountain at least she doesn't have to fight the cold like the other times
A few seconds after her appearance rede entered scanning the tent before waving wolfgar in with his wives
" it's nice to see you again so soon glad your journey went well here." Noticing his cousin not complaining about the cold he smiled
" it seems you have grown use to the cold like your son cuz."
Laughing wolfgar shook his head " sorry cousin I have disappoint you there this is thanks to my friend."
Although he knew that he was bringing someone wolfgar didn't say who he didn't worry about it however because he wouldn't bring someone untrustworthy to their home after what happened 20 years ago
Still when everything seemed to dim slightly and the atmosphere became heavier he didn't know what to expect to walk through the entrance of his home
In the back of his head a stray though to flee was born from a instinct long buried but not forgotten
Push open the tent flap a human entered he was short compared to the rest of them or even others of his race the green of his eyes were vibrant almost glowing
The curly black hair on his head didn't blow with the wind has the tent opened unlike the black coat clad in blue lightning he was wearing
Although he has never meet this human before he instantly knew who he was,how could he not his daughter was practically obsessed with the man ,he swore he could hear her start breathing heavily
Coming back to himself after looking around the human put one hand on his stomach and the other behind his back an bent forward slightly
Momentarily confused the chief remembered his cousin telling him humans do this as a form of greeting to influential people " my name his ghost a friend of wolfgar's it's nice to meet you in hope you don't mind helping me with something."
***
' hopefully he didn't take that as me being rude' I was worried he took me looking around for a few minutes as being dismissive of him
" ackh of course i will do whatever I can to help." After Coughing the chief answered me coming forward a female beastmen led wolfgar's wives to a different area so they could relax with their babies
I noticed Shane follow them happily talking with his mom
" the reason for my visit here is I was told a special crystal resides in these mountain that can make the coldest winters look like wasm spring ." I explained my reason for being here
" hmmm i do know what you are after I can have someone lead you there there problem however is a guardian is protecting the object not let anyone near it."
I waved his concerns " that is ok I'll be able to handle myself and keep whoever you send safe."
He looked at wolfgar who nodded in supporting me " ok I will agree to help you retrieve this crystal but I have a request of my own for you."
" sure if it's within my power is will help." Smiling he pointed off to the side " my daughter has the same elements as you but struggles to control them i would appreciate it if you could teach her."
Following his finger i expected to see a kid but instead was met with a female beastmen with pure white fox ears and five tails she wasn't looking at keeping her head tilted down for some reason
" a kitsune." I could tell she heard me even though I whispered from the twitch of her ears
I sighed not wanting to do this but I was stuck between a rock and a hard place this being my only way of not stumbling around a frozen mountain looking for a crystal the gods only know how small it is
" ok i accept your request though I'm not sure how much help I will." Smiling he turned to his daughter but suddenly space in front of her warped into itself forming a black hole in a fraction of a second
I snapped stopping time to keep the black hole from expanding further since it was clear she didn't have control over it
Something I didn't except happened however the black hole was fighting me still able to expand very slowly acting quickly i isolated the space around the black hole then formed a barrier around its edge doing my best to have it destroy itself
" fuck,fuck come on just do it." I was starting to put to much strain on my body controlling time and stopping a black hole was to much
After fuvr minutes that felt like a eternity it finally started to shrink before disappearing with a bloody noes and pounding headache " you have a lot to learn." I said this to her after time resumed
Unable to keep myself together anymore my eyes rolled to the back of my head as I passed out falling to the floor
