At the beginning of time, there was a council of magic beings, one from each tribe or clan. Each clan had the magic abilities of Magic, Fire, Water, Ice, Wind, Earth, Steel, and Eternity.

The Kitsune village were the original holders of the red fire stone, but war with Werewolves led them to be able to use magic for the first time ever. It was a loss for the Kitsune, but not devastating as they still had the purple magic stone.

They kept this source of magic inside stones. Not every creature could actually use the stones if they do not have the innate ability inside of themselves, the stones were useless to them. The other villages were glad that the Werewolves had won the war as they didn't feel it was fair that the Kitsune had two of the eight stones to begin with.

"It wasn't fair to begin with and now you plan to fight them once more?!" A female voice shouted at a Kitsune man in their meeting cave.

His lilac gaze turned to the rabbit woman and he sighed.
"I have no choice. If I allow them to hold the fire stone, they could go after the other stones next. How long before they come for your ice stone Lit?!" He stood up and slammed his fist on the stone table, gritting his teeth as he asked this.

Lit stood up as well, her clear eyes had fear in them," I can't let you do this Ash. Going to war again so soon? You'll wipe out both your tribes before you can even repopulate!"

"So be it," he turns away from her, his eight tails swishing behind him," Not that it concerns you, rabbit."

"Ash wait!" She put her hand on his arm, but he shakes her off easily.
He leaves the cave and glances up at the purple and blue dawn light," I will get it back," he murmurs to himself, then gets on his horse and heads back to his village to prepare his warriors.

Lit knew she couldn't let Ash go to war again so soon. She gathered the other village leaders and told them what he was planning.

"It's outrageous!" A male panda grit his teeth.
"I know he lost his wife during the last war, but that doesn't make his actions okay," a female dragon added her thoughts.

"We have to convince Fenrir to not fight him," Lit looked at everyone gathered. Everyone suddenly looked up as slow, loud footsteps echoed through the cave entrance.

Cerulean eyes seemed to glow just as the Werewolf entered the cave in his wolf form. He shits to his semi-human form and blinks his cerulean eyes slowly.
"I heard news Ash wants to fight me again for the fire stone."

Lit's clear eyes looked at Fenrir then," He does, but I request that you don't fight him."

Fenrir smirked then," I see.... I can't just not fight, however; I do have to defend myself."

"I tried to talk to him, but I couldn't get through," Lit frowns and shakes her head sadly.

"I have to ask, why are you so concerned for his wellbeing?" Fenrir asks her then, tilting his head to the side just slightly.

"Because I was close with his wife. Before she went to fight, she told me to keep an eye on him, should anything happen to her," Lit frowns once more.

Fenrir only nods, then turns to leave the cave.

The next morning, both men stood on an empty field with their two clans ready to fight.

"Why are you so insistent on getting the fire stone back, Ash?" Fenrir grits his teeth slightly as he glared at Ash with icy eyes.
