Fenic

Part 3

The scene outside made Fundy enraged. Only adding gasoline to the fire in his heart rather than cleansing it as he had hoped. His mother's garden, he was gone for one year and Wilbur let everything go to shit. 

Fundy wasn't gonna let his work die. He pulled all of his fur away from his eyes and got to work. He started with the weeds and pulled them out quickly. 

Killing that which was making death come to the plants. If you listen you can hear their pleas and you can help them, very few know how to listen to nature anymore but shapeshifters never forget. 

He was nearly done with the outside bed surrounding the hedges that lined the tall stone wall, the flowers looked like they had room to breathe with the competition out of the way.

Then he saw the messed bushes that looked similar to the hedges he planted. His claws were out; he might as well make use of them. He clawed away at the hedges till they were almost in proper shape, taking only till the sky changed hues to finish.

 After about an hour of fixing the hedges and rediscovered a tall gate in the middle of it. He stood back admiring it was a little sloppy to him but to anyone else it would have looked as if it was straight out of a magical novel. Not thinking to look around he pulled the key out from his inner coat pocket and it matched the gate. He reached towards the gate and-

Crack Fundy stopped quickly pocketing the key, swiftly spinning around claws out.

"Who's there?" suddenly being aware that the light was quickly receding over the horizon

"Just me," said the other prince- his fiancee

"Why are you out here?" Fundy asked, pulling his claws back in and calming his body down.

"I need to know where our-"

"Not ours" Fundy interrupted him

"Ok, I need to know where the room is" The crown prince stated sounding annoyed already 

"Can't you find it yourself? Your castle is much bigger" Fundy stated eyeing the boy suspiciously "Or if you can't possibly bring yourself to use your eyes, then go ask King Wilbur, I'm sure he will be happy to help"

"I already tried that, he said to ask you then he left," Dream paused to look at the hybrid 

"Of course he did" Fundy started walking inside passing Dream and reaching the doors 

"Are you coming?" He called back, Dream smiled and ran towards the fox boy.

"Ok, where are we going?" he said when he reached the doors

"A, there is no we, and B close the door behind you. Are you some sort of bug-eater hybrid?"

"Sor-ryy" he said like it was two different words. It wasn't by the way, the prince was just a stuck-up little brat whom he had the disgrace of being engaged to. 

As Dream closed the door Fundy grabbed a candle and lit it. "Come on Dream-y boy"

"Oh nicknames already?" Prince Dream said, "What should I call you?"

"You should call me by my name, The nickname was a slip of tongue"

"My mother hasn't told me your name"

"My name is Fundy, Fundy Blade Salmon-Blade"

"That's a weird last name"

"It is"

"Anyway I think I'll call you Fenic"

"No" Fundy stopped walking to unlock the door to his wing

"You have a wing, Fenic?"
