7th day of 4th month year 10441.

A few months had passed since Nevada came to the Monastery on top of the Great Mountain of Ymor. For months, he had trained hard and all of it had paid of well up to now. He now has more understanding on his race and what exactly the cursed kitsunes are.

So according to Yre, cursed kitsunes are kitsunes that are more closer to our ancestors, who originally were giant nine-tailed foxes and few of them could take a human form. In that form, they mated with regular foxkins and centuries later, kitsune race formed. As for the ancestors themselves, they were hunted into extinction after the same was done to phoenix race. This is one of the reason, why neither giant nine-tailed foxes nor giant flaming birds aren't seen in wild. Only those, who are millennials old, may have seen them.

As for how kitsunes with slitted pupils became called cursed kitsunes, is because after the ancestors were all killed, the people who killed them were afraid of the ones with splitted pupils, so they told a simple lie: "Kitsunes born with splitted pupils are evil from birth and will bring calamity." This made people scared of them and so, all the kitsunes with splitted eyes, were killed immediately, when spotted. Luckily, not everyone eyes were like that from birth and only would appear later in life, where they could defend themselves.

But it just didn't stop with the slitted pupils ones. Soon regular ones started to being hunted. Basically the naivety of people almost made the kitsune race extinct. According to Yre, the Kitsune numbers are currently in middle four digit numbers. But she herself isn't that sure either about it.

Beside learning about that, he also has been teaching Tania sign language, which he luckily happened to know because one of his past targets was a deaf or a mute. He can't remember which, as it has been about seventeen years since then. So obviously his memories of the old world would start to get hazy.

Luckily for him, Tania was a quick learner and now, they could actually hold a normal conversation. Obviously, he can't teach her the more complex words, as they are hazy memories now.

Tania herself is apparently thirteen years old and in these see months, her growth spurt has really been seeable. She now is 1.7m tall and her figure has turned from the slender girl figure into a beautiful woman figure with hourglass figure and medium sized breasts. Her black wavy hair is now up to her shoulders and she never ties it.

In the morning, Nevada woke up because of the sun hitting his eyes. So with a slight groan, he opened his eyes and the first thing he saw, was Tania sitting on his stomach, holding her hands on his chest and staring at her face. The only thing separating them right now was the blanket, under which he was.

"What is it Tania?"he asks her and she immediately starts telling.

"I. Came. To. Wake. You. Up."Nevada repeats what she says, so to be sure they understood each other.

Tania nods, after hearing him repeating what she wanted to stay.

"Okay. So why are you on top of me?"Nevada asks and she replies.

"Reasons."

"Okay. So wanna tell me those reasons?"he asks her and she just shakes her head, meaning no. This makes Nevada sigh, before he tells her"Okay. So could you get off of me then. I have stuff to do."

She just nods and gets off from his stomach and sits down on the floor while staring at him. Seeing her like this, makes Nevada sighs again and he then proceeds to get up from the bed to get dressed while thinking:

'I seriously can't understand Tania. When ever she does something like that, she says she does it for reasons without giving one. And when I asked Yre, she said she herself doesn't know what her exact reasons. But actually, she knows, as I could feel some lies being told when we talked about this topic. So there is a high Chance that she knows something and just doesn't tell me about it. Obviously, Tania is part of it too.'

Nevada then lets out a small sigh and finishes putting on his clothes. He then looks at the door, before walking over there to leave.

As for Tania, she has gone over to Yre, who herself is busy cleaning her room. So when Yre feels Tania entering, she stops sweeping and looks at her.

"What is it, Tania?"she asks her. Tania starts using sign language and this makes Yre say"Tania. I don't understand that language what Nevada taught you. Write it down If you want to say it."

Tania sighs and takes a piece of paper and a pen from her pocket. Immediately, fast writing on the paper follows and in a minute, she gives Yre a piece of paper with one side written full. On it, Tania has written.

'When is it time to tell him? This secret has gone on for too long. You know how I hate secrets. Especially ones that involve my personal life. Will you tell him about the King and the Queen already. If you don't, I will tell him without your consent. He has finished his training, so he is ready to know. He needs to know, because I don't want to be alone any longer.'

She reads it through and starts to answer"The time is when I say so and I will tell him. Be patient Tania. He won't go anywhere and you will bond with him. You two have done it for millennials and will continue doing it. So don't worry and do what you want to him to deepen your relationship."

Tanias ears drop a little, showing sadness as she nods. She then turns around and leaves the room.

In the Ice Fort, Maria is sitting on the bed and in her hands, she is holding a baby wolf beastkin girl. A month ago, her five month beastkin pregnancy ended after giving birth to the little wolf in her arms.

The girl looks at her mother and smiles towards her, while letting out a cute laugh. This scene makes Maria giggle a little, as she starts to scratch her with her finger.

"Your just the cutest Ria."Maria says and smiles, while looking at her daughter playing with her finger. Ria's white wolf ears twitch from happiness and she looks at her mother with her black right and blue left eye. Maria could feel Ria's tail wagging through the cloth, in which Ria was wrapped in.

She happily plays with Marias finger for an hour and falls asleep with it in her mouth. Maria doesn't dare to pull it out of her mouth, as she may wake her up. So she lets it stay there, while looking out of the window.

"Nevada....please come back already."
