The Realm of Shadows

Not a sound could be heard the the Temple as a dark cloud began to form over the building . Every resident could feel the dark energy and anger pulsing in the very fabric of their realm . No one knew what was happening within the tower room, but they knew it wasn"t a good thing .

Ping the fox and Keric the wolf growled and snarled, being held aloft by two strands silver light . Their bodies twisting and contorting to attack the bonds that held them there . Even as they bit one strand lose another formed .

Advertis.e.m.e.ntThe master stood angrily pacing beside his desk . He could feel her pain and hear the breaking of her heart from the Shadow Realm . Her desperate cries for help echoing in the walls of his study . But every time he tried to send aid… it was blocked .

He had an idea of who was stopping him and it was within that old witch"s rights but that only made him angrier . His power needed to grow… so he could challenge her and protect his own . A slave to her will… death should have no mistress .

"Aren"t we tense?" a jovial female voice asked in a teasing manner, closer to a evil taunt . The Master stopped and turned to face her . Anger in his eyes, but a unsettling smile parted his face .

"Take your hands off my servants . " he demanded motioning to the white light . Every word was sharp and filled with oppression . She was slightly taken aback to feel his power had grown again . A smile formed on her lips, it wouldn"t matter . Let him enjoy the little taste of power . Now that the girl was no longer a threat .

"Oh, of course . " she giggled and waved a pet.i.te ivory hand and the two lupine shadows began to fall . Keric swept to the side, catching the weakened Ping in his jaws before landing lightly on the ground . He shot a glare at the Fair Beauty who had entered and carried Ping to their Master"s side .

Unlike normally when Ping would struggle, he just waited to be put down . He refused to show any sort of discontentment in the ranks around this woman . The Master frowned and reached down petting both of them .

"Thanks should be in order…" he began but didn"t finish the sentence . He let the words hang in the air as if it was enough . Neither of his companions would have been in such a state if she had come to his Temple the proper way . There would have been no reason to attack .

"Then I will expect a thank you in the future . For now, we should talk . " the G.o.ddess replied her red lips tilting into a smile . If it wouldn"t insult Ping so much, she would be considered a Vixen .

Ears and a tail indeed grew from her voluptuous body . Her dress skin tight from her b.r.e.a.s.t.s, which it barely covered to her ankles before a short flare covered her golden lotus feet . Long crimson hair falling down her back . A long blue ribbon feel in curled strands down her back, securing a black lace eyepatch over her right eye . Crimson bangs falling in long tendrils over the other . A aura of silver and gold power glittered on her skin, giving her soft skin a angelic glow .


"Yes . I think we should . What business do you have cageing my people?" he replied, tossing himself back in the chair . The anger in his voice was more like cold steel than fire . She tilted her head, her eyes looking at him with interest . One slender finger raising to caress her bottom lip .

"Well isn"t someone testy? It was only for a measly half hour…" she purred with a innocent smile . It burned him to see her seeming so smug .

The timing was too perfect .

"A hour in our business is 100 souls lost in the forest believing they are abandoned . " He replied standing again as Ping and Keric laid down side by side at his feet . The two lupines were watching their guest like a viper in their den .

"What is 100 souls compared to the millions of lives thrown off track if you interfered?" She replied, waving her hand in a small circle, and a crystal gla.s.s appeared in her hand . The woman then helped herself to a decanter of spirits sitting on his desk .
