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.
