Koria laughs and smiles before answering her.
"Yes, we're the good guys. Your Familiar was born in this time, but due to a surge in her powers when she was younger, the whole village was uprooted. To restore balance, my sister did have to bring the village back, but have since relocated them. They're far away. Both of you are safe." Genie smiles, then bows her head at Koria before running to me and jumping onto my shoulders.
"Now, lets talk of todays plans, shall we?"
•●●●•●●●•●●●•
Koria explained that we'd all be going to meet Azreia, that her and her pack of wolves (shocker) would be waiting for us. The two people who disappeared when she showed up was Axel and Zia. Apparently Zia can fly, and in such, can't stomach portals. So she would fly over to meet us back at Azreia's cabin.
It stunned me that she could fly. I mean, I did just light a fire with my own hands, time traveled through a portal, and can communicate with animals, but it still all felt so surreal.
Breaking from my thoughts at the sound of laughter, I turned towards the sound.
It was Zia.
She was on the back of an extremely tall and handsome blonde man. Fuck that, his hair was white, not blonde.
He was laughing along with her, his deep laughter was attractive. He also had something to him that didn't feel natural. He didn't seem human.
Zia met my eyes, and her laughter stopped, but her smile remained.
She jumped off his back, and she too, was tall as hell. Her body was slim, but had obvious muscles. Her dark beautiful hair was pulled back into a big braid with tiny braids braided in through her natural hair and into the big braid.
Her eyes were like molten chocolate with lighter rings of brown mixed in. Her skin was tanned, whether that was genetics or sun, I wasn't sure. She looked fierce, but sweet. She looked like a damn warrior.
"Alina?" She questioned, snapping me out of my staring.
"Yep, thats my name, don't wear it out." I said, giving her a smile. It felt so odd. I didn't know her, but instantly felt a pull towards her, like I had known her all my life. Like she was a part of me. That's sounds weird, creepy even.
She laughed, and walked towards me. "Oh, its so good to finally meet you! I don't usually do the hugging thing, but can I hug you?" For as strong as she looked, she also looked nervous.
Smiling, I walked the rest of the way and embraced her.
"Yep you're definitely all muscle girl, aren't you? " She burst out laughing before nodding.
"Can't fight if you're weak." Was her simple reply. She had this twinkle to her eyes, I knew she was tough, and Koria had said she could be a bit off putting, but I knew she was feeling the same way as I was.
What am, chopped liver? You meet some other soul holder or whatever and forget about me? I will bite you in your sleep girl! Don't test me!
Pulling back with a jump, Zia looked on edge, before noticing the voice was coming from the ground.
She looked at my little red foxy friend in wonder.
"Am I going crazy, or did that tiny creature just talk?" She asked.
Creature?! Oh, you wanna go girl, cause we can go! I'll beat your ass, bite your damn ear off! Let's mother fucking go bitch!
Genie yelled, jumping around in circles around us.
"Foxes aren't exactly native around here." Koria explained.
Zia was just staring, before she burst out laughing.
"I did not mean to offend, only a bit confused. I've never seen something like you. You're quite the feisty one, huh." She said, beginning to squat down.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I mumbled.
She looked at me, took my word, then stood up.
"I for one," the white haird one spoke, "think shes adorable." Then with speed of wich I've never seen before, moved towards her, picked Genie up into his arms, and cradled him.
I like him.
With a laugh, I simply shook my head as Zia looked at the two bewildered.
"Shes not a human trapped in there, right?"
"Nope, just a fox raised by a girl." I replied. She relaxed, then watched as Genie tried to flirt was the giant blonde man.
It wasn't going to well for her, he was too busy cooing and petting her to notice, or maybe he did and just didn't care.
Koria walked towards us, obviously ready to get moving.
"Juny will lead you to Azreia. As fun as this union is, we better get a move on." Her voice held an edge to it, and I instantly felt as though she was holding back.
"So look, I know you're some bad ass witch lady, but you're a shit liar. Whats with the rush? You're obviously holding something back from us." It took a lot of strength to say that, as Koria was definitely intimidating.
"Hate to break it you, but thats kind of her thing. I mean, it usually sereves a good purpose. But now I am a bit curious. Whats going on Koria?" Zia added.
Her friend had put down Genie, much to her dismay, and was standing next to Zia, arm draped over her shoulder.
Koria sighed, and did not seem at all a fan of this new little team up.
"Azreia broke the curse on the wolves, but in doing so fainted due to draining herself. It appears that shes in a coma."
Zia seemed more freaked than I, and instantly spoke up.
"Well fuck flying, we'll all portal. Lets get out of here now."
Koria, seeming pleased with this response, conjured up a portal, and motioned for us to head out.
The second we stepped through, I was greeted by the sight of what looked like ten thousand wolves. It was freaky.
"I thought she broke the curse?" Zia said, looking around at all the wolves.
"She did, but not wanting you girls to be uncomfortable by them being nude, they shifted back." Koria explained, taking long strides towards the cabin.
The sight that greeted us inside was . . . Unexpected.
In the middle of the room layed a girl with ash white hair, cocooned in a transparent pink bubble, surrounded by a group of very saddened looking wolves.
A mama feeding her babies aged next to the girl, her head poking through the bubble, and resting on her chest.
I don't know which was worse, the creepy bubble, the dead looking girl, or the sad wolves.
