I want to help him, but I fear my kitsune self. I shake my head and the wolves attack. I manage to dodge their claws, but Damon will have a hard time to escape them in the dark. Feeling useless, I permit myself to transform into a kitsune.

" No! Grab the female and kill the king!"

  Damon stops his attacks and looks at me.

 I feel uncomfortable under his stare and I decide to try out my magic. Feeling joy to be a kitsune once more, I make a fireball and throw it to one wolf. It turns to ashes and the battle continues.

I am having fun and the magic is flowing through me easily. Testing out any kind of spell, I make my opponents collapse on the ground after a few minutes. I look at Damon, who is done with his group as well. The leader is the only one standing and she attacks Damon. Without thinking, I make a deadly gas flow around her. It touches her for a second and she collapses soon.

I look at him and he hugs me. I am surprised, but glad to be able to be myself, when the responsibilities of my current life returns and I frown.

" What's wrong, Luna? You did great for not being a kitsune for three years."

" Nothing, Damon. Why don't we pretend this never happened?"

" But why, Luna? You seemed happy while you fought."

" I can't simply change everything I worked hard to make true in one night, Damon. I can't -----"

" Luna, confess the truth now. Do you want to go back to being like before I acted foolish or do you want to stay as you are now?"

" I want to be as before, but how will I do so? It's been hard to change my ways of thinking."

" How about we start with confessions? I have some things to confess and they can't be hidden any longer."

His solution is wrong, but I'm tired of keeping all I feel hidden. Although I'm unsure, I end up nodding and he smiles.

" So, where can we talk then? I don't want to scare any person."

" Luna, no one is around here. We have all night to speak of whatever we want."

" Still, I don't want to take any chances."

" Fine, we can go to my kingdom. It's near here and you'll be back by the morning."

" What will your kingdom think of me just appearing out of nowhere? I don't want to cause trouble."

" Luna, I'm the king. You are a guest and I think you will feel comfortable with only kitsunes around."

" You're right. Where is your kingdom exactly at?"

" In the forest that a lot of people disappear in. Don't worry, we will find the kingdom easily."

I agree and we run there. After entering the forest, I feel myself walking towards an unknown place. I look at Damon and he nods. I decide to follow the need and find myself in front of a old tree.

Curious to find out what is so special about this tree, I find a weird branch and touch it. Another branch appears and it cuts my palm. After it touches my blood, the tree opens and a gateway appears.

" I told you we would find the kingdom fast, Luna."

" Wow, this is really hidden from the humans."

" And it protects us too. Now come on and go through, we have a lot of talking to do."

I nod and we go through the gateway.
