Kitsune of the Blue Sun Chapter 121- Time to Leave Falheim

[Keeno POV]

Half a day had passed since mum awakened my dragon core. We had moved from the ledge, and I was taught a few more things about dragons. During that ti Pram, Freya, and Emma arrived with Huginn and Muninn riding on Pram and Freya’s heads.

“Keeno, get these two feather heads off of ours.” (Freya)

“Caw!” (Muninn)

“I will roast you bird!” (Freya)

“Casquack!” (Muninn)

“That’s it, I don’t know what you said, but I know it was an insult!” (Freya)

Freya tried to grab Muninn off her head, but it flew up and out of her reach.

“Do t think you’re faster than !” (Freya)

Freya’s body was then covered in light, and she started to chase Muninn around. Though she was going very fast, Muninn actually managed to evade her perfectly every ti.

“…Your birds are strange, my little one.” (Fafnir)

“Really? I an, I knew they were special, but never really strange.” (Keeno)

“Yes. Though I can’t explain why, I can just tell. If I was pressed to put words to it, I’d say they are too smart and too strong to be normal.” (Fafnir)

“When I got their eggs, I was told they were normal steelfeather raven eggs, so I have no clue either.” (Fia)

Ama was silent as the others walked up to us after watching Freya and Muninn play around a bit more. Huginn hopped off Pram’s head and dove into one of my tails before looking its head out.

“How goes it out there?” (Keeno)

“Well, first things first, the people are sort of mixed about your presence now. There are so still calling you a goddess of Life, others are cursing you for the area you fought in turning black and ashy and dead. Freyr sent so people to see what damage those breath attacks you did cause, but they still haven’t found the end points yet.” (Emma)

“And Sigurd is staying down there leading the cleanup of things. He told us that we should co back here and see how you were doing and to tell you that it’s probably best you leave Falheim before more stuff happens.” (Pram)

“His words were a bit nicer than that, but basically that’s it. Though I will say that he wasn’t being malicious, but more worried you’ll get dragged into sothing else if you stay any longer.” (Emma)

“I was getting that sa feeling, so I agree with him.” (Keeno)

Muninn then suddenly dived from above and into a different tail from Huginn. Freya charged at but stopped just before slamming into .

“Keeno, give the bird.” (Freya)

“Calm down, Freya. The more you react, the more they will ss with you.” (Keeno)

“I won’t lose to a bird!” (Freya)

“Freya.” (Pram)

“Yes?” (Freya)

“Leave it this ti. We just won’t give Muninn treats for a while to make up for this. If it still hasn’t learned for next ti, THEN you can roast it.” (Pram)

“…Keeno, do you agree?” (Freya)

“Hear that, Muninn? You’re on thin ice with soone with Solar Magic. Don’t ss up again.” (Keeno)

Muninn responded by hiding further into my tail.

“And there we go.” (Keeno)

“I’m going to miss this. It’s so fun being with you three. Much better than Sigurd’s overseriousness.” (Emma)

“I’m going to miss the two of you and Sigurd as well. And I’m sorry for asking you to stick around in this dump of a country.” (Keeno)

“Well, it’s not forever, my little one. Compared to what we live, it will be just a blink before we see each other again.” (Fafnir)

“True. And we can talk whenever, so that also helps.” (Keeno)

“Yep. Oh, I almost forgot, Freyr finally managed to get all the scales. Pram has them in her storage ring.” (Emma)

“Oh yeah!” (Pram)

“So, we’re finally leaving here…ti for more walking.” (Freya)

“Silly girl, you think I would se my daughter and her friends off by letting them walk? Nonsense, I will be flying you to that place called…what was it again?” (Fafnir)

“Nidavellir.” (Keeno)

“Yes, that place.” (Fafnir)

“Eh!?” (Pram)

“Freya, mind helping with the convincing?” (Keeno)

“…” (Freya)

“Both of you.” (Pram)

“Hmm?” (Keeno)

“I get to use all of your tails to sleep at night. That’s the only way I’m agreeing to this.” (Pram)

“I an, I already owe you a lifeti of doing that, so fine by .” (Keeno)

Pram nodded in satisfaction then we all looked at Freya. Her head was down but her ear was twitching, showing her embarrassnt.

“Pram…you know…you know I don like you touching other tails.” (Freya)

“…” (Keeno)

“…” (Fafnir)

“…” (Emma)

“…” (Fia)

{…Cute.}

Pram said nothing and walked over to Freya before pulling her close and giving her a quick kiss.

“Fine, I’ll only sleep with your tail. It’s worth it in multiple ways, so I guess I’ll manage with flying.” (Pram)

Freya was blushing and both her ears were twitching while her tail was waving around wildly.

“Since when was Pram that smooth?” (Fia)

“She’s always been like that, but when it’s focused on soone, specifically Freya, it’s super effective.” (Keeno)

“Co to think of it, that’s true.” (Fia)

“Oh, mum, I think there is one more thing before we leave.” (Keeno)

Pram, Freya, and Emma looked at with sowhat surprised looks mixed with a warmth I couldn’t describe when they heard . Mum on the other hand looked confused, so I slightly gestured at Emma. She realized what I was saying and approached Emma.

“Emma, from today unto eternity, I claim you as mine, do you object to this?” (Fafnir)

Emma was once again stunned, and it took a mont for her to process what was happening. When she finally did, a radiant smile spread across her face.

“I do not object. In fact, I welco this developnt.” (Emma)

Emma then grabbed mum’s arm and pulled her close, bringing their lips together. When they broke apart, Emma had another shining smile on her face while mum was blushing so red, you’d think she was a red dragon and not a gold one.

“I don’t know if I should congratulate them or leave them alone for a while.” (Pram)

“I think we congratulate them?” (Freya)

“I say congratulate now and then, when we are gone, they can have all the privacy they want. Though I do feel bad for temporarily separating the newlyweds.” (Keeno)

“Eh?” (Pram)

“Newlyweds?” (Freya)

“That’s how we dragons do things.” (Keeno)

{Though it’s a bit different in our case, it was pretty much the sa for and Keeno.}

“I’d prefer not you don’t say any more about that. Thinking back on it, I said so things I feel embarrassed about.” (Keeno)

{You realize that’s tempting to ntion it so I can tease you, right?}

“Yes, but think of it this way, if you don’t, it’ll be a mory only the two of us have. Isn’t it nice, having exclusive mories?” (Keeno)

{…}

“I need to rember that line.” (Freya)

“That’s harder to do since we haven’t had that many opportunities for just the two of us to go out yet. And the tis we have recently aren’t things we’d share with others.” (Pram)

“I’m going to hold you to that yet part.” (Freya)

“I’m looking forward to it.” (Freya)

“…What is this sense of loneliness?” (Fia)

“We didn’t forget about you, Fia. I’ll help you find soone one day.” (Keeno)

{And I’ll help too.}

“I don’t know whether to feel thankful or scared.” (Fia)

“Knowing them, it should be both.” (Pram)

“Definitely both.” (Freya)

“We aren’t that bad.” (Keeno)

{Yeah.}

“Says the two who will tease anything that does or doesn’t breathe if they’ll find it funny!” (Fia)

“And you love us for that!” (Keeno)

“{And we love you for being so teaseable!}

“Dumb sly foxes, how can I argue back if you say that?” (Fia)

{Get over here, you adorable firebird.}

I didn’t have to imagine the scene of Fia being grabbed by Ama and pulled into a hug seeing as it’s an action I’ve seen and done many tis before when we had similar ‘argunts,’ though I wish I could also participate in it as well.

“Stop! You’re gonna suffocate in these tails!” (Fia)

“Just accept it, Fia.” (Keeno)

“And why are you all of a sudden mad at !?” (Fia)

“I’m not mad at all.” (Keeno)

“Your tone implies otherwi-mmmph!!!” (Fia)

A few more minutes later mum had finally cald down enough to converse again.

“*Ahem* Apologies, my little one. I did not expect my own reaction to receiving affection to be so intense.” (Fafnir)

“It’s fine, it was cute.” (Keeno)

“It really was.” (Emma)

“Emma, I expect you to tease her a lot while I’m not here to do it myself.” (Keeno)

“Your word is my command.” (Emma)

“Good.” (Keeno)

“…Shall we get the preparations out of the way, my little one? As much as I would love to spend more ti with you, I also now have a lovely wife I need to pamper.” (Fafnir)

“How many days will it take to get us there and back?” (Keeno)

“I’m motivated, so three days one way.” (Fafnir)

“Don’t leave out! I’m coming to see you all off as well.” (Emma)

“But soone needs to tell Sigurd.” (Keeno)

“Leave him a note.” (Emma)

“Poor guy.” (Pram)

“Yeah.” (Freya)

“Shall we also start preparing?” (Pram)

“Yep.” (Freya)

Like that, we started our preparations to finally leave Falheim for good.

Chaos Realm:

*In a large room sowhere in the usual place*

Welco everyone, I’m glad all of you could make it, and to those who couldn’t, we’ll raise a toast.

*Everyone raises a glass of extrely potent alcohol and holds it there for a second before drinking so*

Order: And thank you Alex for making such an interesting item. Care to explain it to everyone before this gets fully started?

Alex: It’s really sothing simple. In essence, it’s a normal chocolate fountain, but when you eat so of the chocolate, it will taste like whatever you like the most, be it food or drink.

*Oooh’s and Aaahhh’s from all present*

A big thank you to Crimson for the drinks that will actually let us get drunk if we wish.

Crimson: You’re all welco…and if you can’t hold any more, just give them to to finish up the bottles.

Order: Thank you to Envy, for the fresh cookies and other surprise desserts, they all look delicious.

Envy: Fufu. T’was my pleasure.

Always a big thank you to Mofu for both providing a bud for Astraea to keep as a pet and for bringing so accretion disks as drinking snacks.

Mofu: Mofufufufufluff. Mofu can always get more if we run out, mofu~.

Order: Mary, thank you for being here, even after just recently gaining your fifth tail. We have prepared a congratulation gift for you that we’ll give to you later.

Mary: You didn’t have to, but thank you, nonetheless.

Ray, welco back. How has that one soul been?

Ray: I would say, but since Astraea is here, I won’t. I don’t think a child needs to hear that just yet.

Fair enough and thank you for your discretion.

Order: In-chan, there is no use in trying to party crash when we all knew you’d show up, so stop hiding over there.

Crisis: Tch. At least let act like I’m fashionably late.

Order: No. Last ti you did that, we had to spend a week trying to fix the ss you made and even then, it still took a month to fully finish the repairs.

Crisis: And? I see no problem there.

Order: *Sigh*

Hehe. Now, how about we get this get together started?
