Guided by Fate (Fiz-Bun Fluff)

Chapter 10

We were in a forested town. It was similar to Kaeol, but the walls looked wooden... like trees, twisted into a barrier. I tried to take a step closer, but no matter how much I walked, I didn't move.

Fiz was next to me, a few feet away. She looked younger - her ears were flopping down and lacked the tufts at the base, and, not to sound like a perv, she was slightly more... flat.

The sky was dark, with black lighting streaking across the sky and purple clouds.

A fox girl with long white hair ran up to Fiz. She looked to be the same age as the bunny, with a worried look on her face.

"Fizition! We need to go, the evacuation has already started!" She called out. "That storm won't be calm for much longer!"

"Calm..?" Fiz asked, a tear running down her face. "It's burned down two houses... my..."

The fox nodded.

"I know, Fizition. We need to move on, okay? At least for now."

Fiz nodded slightly, sniffling while the storm raged overhead. Both girls turned, and the storm suddenly turned black. Their hair and fur suddenly stood on end and the fox yelped, shoving Fiz away.

Several things happened at once. A streak of black, so dark it hurt to look at, arched toward the ground like a lightning strike. Fiz shrieked as a bright yellow light shone in front of her, keeping a deep purple one at bay.

And then I woke up.

I was in bed, clutching Fiz. Her face was twisted in... worry? No, fear. She was having a nightmare... the same one I just had, I would wager. I kissed her forehead and carefully rubbed her head, hoping to calm her down.

A few minutes passed as she settled down.

I laid with her for roughly another hour before she mumbled something and her eyes fluttered open.

"G'morng..." She mumbled, smiling sleepily at me.

"Hey there, Fiz. Did you sleep well?" I asked, knowing the answe-

"Mhm... I've never felt safer, honestly."

"...Really?" I asked. "You looked like you were having a nightmare earlier."

She nodded slowly, her eyes shifting to the side.

"Yeah... but I felt safe. It wasn't as vivid or scary as any other dream. It was like watching a play, and I could still feel you around me."

"Really?"

"Yeah," Fiz smiled at me. "It was wonderful."

I blushed and kissed her forehead.

"We should get up and get going, right?"

She turned her head, glancing out the window and suddenly sitting up.

"Oh no," She said, her eyes wide. "We promised to be out of here by noon!"

"It's noon?"

"It's almost noon! Hurry, we should get our stuff!"

We walked downstairs and Fiz placed the key on the counter.

"We're on time, right?" She asked.

"Barely. Have a nice day, you two." The innkeeper sighed, taking the key.

Fiz and I walked out of the Inn and we stopped.

"So... where do we go?" I asked.

Fiz tapped her finger to her chin, thinking. "Well, Chulain and Ei'ia are the two closest cities. Chulain is nestled in the the Chulain Mountains, while Ei'ia is on the coast."

"Oh? Which do you like more?"

"Well, I've never been to Chulain," She noted. "There's a trail you can take, too. The trailhead is about a day and a half north of here, through the woods."

"Sounds neat. Which way is north?"

Fiz giggled and pointed perpendicular to the sun's path. "That way, silly. Anything you want to do before we leave?"

I thought for a moment before shaking my head. "No, nothing."

"Then let's go~!" She hummed walking away.

Huh, looks like we saw one of Fiz's dreams for a bit. I wonder what was going on...

Currently, Worldbuilding info has stagnated slightly... for now. I'll only be making updates when there's a change.

And, by the way, how would you guys feel about having small amounts of say in certain choices? For example, choosing which city they go to, or even choosing out of dungeon loot?
