Kitsune of the Blue Sun

[Keeno POV]

Looking at the mountains in the distance grow steadily taller the closer we got, I was awestruck.  I wasn’t exactly sure, but these mountains HAD to be as tall or maybe even taller than Mt. Everest.

 

“Um…are we going to have to climb over those?” (Pram)

 

“I hope not, I’ve never climbed a mountain before, and I really don’t want this to be the first one.” (Keeno)

 

{Hehehe.  Don’t worry, there is a path through the mountains, so you don’t have to climb them.  Just keep following the road.}

 

“*Sigh* Thank you for being our eye in the sky, Ama…Not that you two aren’t doing your part as well, Huginn, Muninn.” (Keeno)

 

The two of them ruffled their feathers at me before diving into my tail.  I chuckled a little before turning my attention back to the mountains.

 

“So, where is this Well of Knowledge supposed to be?” (Keeno)

 

{You’ll find out when you get to the town at the foot of the mountains.}

 

I nodded my head at that.  We continued on for a few more days when the town Ama spoke about came into view.  As usual, it was surrounded by a wall, though this one seemed to be built into the mountain a little.  It wasn’t exactly the same as a certain City of the White Tree, but more like one built into a Lonely Mountain.  We also started to pass by some small caravans of wagons heading out of the city and in the direction we came from.  They were surrounded by several guards, most of whom were beastkin.  We traded nods of greeting before passing by each other.

 

“…Think we should invest in a wagon or something some time?  Not that walking everywhere is bad or anything, but it will get tiring at some point.” (Pram)

 

“I think we should hold off until we actually have the money to just throw around.  Fia did give us a reasonable windfall, but it’s not enough to buy a wagon, mounts to pull it, and all the other things you need to take care of both it and the animals.” (Keeno)

 

“I didn’t mean now, but one day.” (Pram)

 

“Then we can talk about it when it becomes necessary.” (Keeno)

 

Pram nodded her head and we fell silent for a while until we got to the gate of the city.  The sky above us was starting to turn from the orange and pink of evening to the dark blue and black of night when we finally managed to make it to and through the gate.  As per usual, the guards and other people around the gate seemed to tense up when they saw me, but relaxed once I was gone.  It took us around an hour, but we did find an inn with a vacant room.  Once we were there, the two of us flopped onto our respective beds and let out content sighs.

 

“Bed…so nice and soft.” (Pram)

 

“Bed…so inviting and cushy.” (Keeno)

 

{I’m starting to think Phobos is actually doing something good for once.}

 

“Ugh.  Why’d you bring HIM up?” (Keeno)

 

{Because you have perfect timing in getting here.  Tomorrow is the Solar Convergence.}

 

“…I will tentatively thank Phobos, but only this once.” (Keeno)

 

“Um…Are you talking about the god of Time and Fate?” (Pram)

 

{Yes, but you don’t have to worry about it, Pram.  Anyway, Keeno, I have a fun plan for us tomorrow, so make sure you are well rested tonight.}

 

“Heard you loud and clear.” (Keeno)

 

“I guess since you will be occupied tomorrow, I’ll head out with Huginn and Muninn and ask around about the Well of Knowledge.  I hope the two of you have fun.” (Pram)

 

After getting ready for bed, I quickly fell asleep.  Turns out spending long periods of time camping out tires a person out way more than you realize until you sleep in an actual bed again.  The good thing about that, though, is that I didn’t feel the time pass and the next thing I knew, I was waking up to the feeling of being hugged from behind.

 

{Hehehe.  You look so content, Keeno.}

 

“You would too, if you woke up being hugged by me like this.”

 

{True.}

 

I relaxed myself more into Ama’s embrace.

 

“Ama-”

 

{Uh, uh, uh Keeno.  Not until you meet the dress code or today’s visit.}

 

Ama let me go and I turned around to see that she had nothing on.  I could feel the heat around me increase in tune with how flustered I was.  Ama smiled at me with a scarlet tint on her cheeks.  She moved closer to me and put her hands on my shoulders.

 

{I see, you want my help.  Hehehe.}

 

Ama slowly took my shirt off followed by loosening my pants and so on.  Before I knew it, I was as bare as the day I was born.  Ama then moved away.

 

“Ama…I don’t think I can hold back anymore.”

 

{While I don’t mind if you decide to just push me down right here and now, let’s at least try something before we go all the way.}

 

“Try what?”

 

{Well, in preparation for this day, I’ve been reading some things so it would at least look like I know what I’m doing, and one thing stuck in my mind the most.}

 

She waved her hand and a table appeared next to the bed.  It was full of several sweets ranging from small fruits to what I think was whipped cream.  Using one of her tails, she grabbed a small bowl of cream and started to put it on her body.  It didn’t take a genius to know what I was supposed to do, and I could feel a smile spread across my face.  Once Ama was done turning herself into a sweet treat for me, she looked at me.  I did my best to seductively saunter up to her.

 

“Ufufufu.  I guess it’s time for me to eat this sweet treat in front of me, huh?  Don’t mind if I do.”

 

I stuck my tongue out and lapped up some of the cream from Ama’s neck, taking special note of her excited trembling.  I took my time and slowly made my way down, savoring everything.  This was just the start of a long, passion filled day.

 

Chaos Realm:

Astraea, you wanted to see us?

Astraea: Yeah, papa, mama.  Come in.

Order: Is something wrong?

Astraea: No.

Then what is it that you need?

Astraea: Well, while I was over at Evelyn’s, her insane mom was telling us about some of the things she can do, and in the end, she taught us how to make stuff.  It took a while, but I managed to make something and I wanted to give them to the two of you.

*Astraea holds out two bracelets made of silvery-gold crytals.*

…Crystalized Positivity…She taught you how to crystalize a small part of one of your Divinities…

Order: Thank you, Astraea, we’ll treasure them forever.

Astraea: Hehehe.

*Everyone is pulled into a family hug*
