Fire's Mage (Book One) Kyoko of Fire Country

Epilogue

Opening her eyes, Kyoko blinked as she looked at the snow underneath her hands. She didn't know where she was, last time she had opened her eyes, she had in a room in the Akkub Clinics and last she had been in a scene like this.

She had met Kukikio, Rita and Nuru. It was a dream, she was dreaming and now she looked around for any of the three she knew could drag her into this world.

Pushing herself to her feet, she frown when the snow when to her knees. Blue roses going around her leg, keeping her where she was. Now she was nervous, looking behind her there was a women dressed in a deep red dress.

"I can't believe we're dragging them into this mess," the woman hissed to a darkened figure. She sounded royally pissed and annoyed, her long nails were tapping against her arm. "Mine is only ten, nearly eleven, there's not much she can do. More so since they killed half of her team!"

Kyoko backed away, until her back had hit a tree, she didn't have her staff. She didn't have her daggers, the snow was messing with her Fire magic and she would need to use too much energy to do anything with the snow around her.

"Kit," she told her, walking towards her, snow melting slightly as she did so. Her hand going on her head, as she looked at her amused. "Are you going to look at him all day?"

Lowering herself, she didn't look away from the amused golden eyes staring at her. Her pupils reminded her of a foxes, while her skin was as tanned as Sheikh's was, almost like she had spent most of her time outside.

"Who are you?" Kyoko asked her, narrowing her eyes as she put her hands on the tree behind her. There were daggers with seals, she could use those. "And what do you want?"

"You're my Household Member, my servant born of misery and misfortune," she, Aliza, replied. Waving her hands lazily to the woods behind her, where she spotted Rita walking along with a woman with hair so dark it almost looked black. "Do you know who, or what, I am?"

"The Fire Goddes, Aliza," Kyoko replied. It wasn't like there were many in Fire with that shade of red hair, bordering orange as it looked like fresh lava from a volcano.

"Can't spot a Kistune?" she asked her, ears appearing on her head while nine tails appeared behind her. "Not even with my tails and ears?"

"Since they weren't out a second, no, I could not."

"Kit, afterwards, you and I have a lot to talk about."

"And if I don't want to talk?"

"If things continue how they are, not going to be an option, kit."

"My names Kyoko," she told her.

"Blanka Aliza," she replied, putting a clock on her and pulling up the hood. "Keep those on, and they won't be able to track you down. It'll hide you from the others, and trust me, one of them isn't exactly sane."
