~ODETTE’S POV~
"I’ve got a eting with so officials, I’ll see you later." He lifted my chin slightly and his lips parted and softly kissed my forehead. The gesture felt like everything to and gave butterflies.
When he left Emalea looked at , sparkles in her eyes, and the look of love expressed itself on her face.
"What?" I asked slightly confused.
"It’s just so bewildering to see the alpha king so gentle. It’s such an unfamiliar side to him, and I don’t know how long it’ll take to get used to seeing this side of him." She sounded so gleeful.
"Everyone keeps saying that, was he really that bad?" ’
"Yes." She answered flatly. "He was once a man nearly incapable of affection or rcy. His tolerance for things used to be extrely low."
"I guess I can see that. He choked to death once." I sounded so nonchalant.
Emalea looked at dumbfounded. "Excuse . He did what!"
"Yep..." I answered with a sense of finality in my voice; it wasn’t a subject I particularly liked discussing.
Emalea took the hint and changed the subject. "How about we focus about getting you fed and cleaned up and rested."
"Good idea. Thanks for this."
"It’s my pleasure and duty to serve you." She answered confidently.
"But you’re more than just my maid, you’re my friend, don’t forget that." I reminded her.
She bead with happiness. And it made feel even more whole inside.
She led to the bathroom with my tray of food. She placed it on the table and said to "Take the bath and eat, princess, I’ll be back to collect the tray later, after you get so shut eye. The towel is warm and hear for you, as well as a comfy night dress."
"Thanks Emalea. You’re the best." I smiled at her.
"Of course." She said bending for a bow.
"You know I asked you not to do that." I reminded her.
"Oh, shoot, I’m sorry, just a habit being back in the palace. But I’ll take my leave now." And with she exited the room.
I bathed. And ate the food she had brought for .
Eggs and bacon with a warm biscuit and a cup of milk. I smiled, because she knew, she rembered I liked milk. And figured I wouldn’t want coffee if I’m going to take a little nap.
After I finished eating and bathing I dried off and slipped my night dress on. It was a cute nearly sheer knee length gown, it was made with soft, thin material, almost see through.
The little fox still hasn’t left my side. So, when I climbed into bed, it naturally followed suit, curling up at my chest. Making herself at ho there.
I crashed hard the minute we settled into bed.
***Start the song here, rember to fast forward and play it once it’s 1:07 minutes in. or it won’t match up ***
I woke in a forest of trees with beautiful small white flowers. Soft, green grass laid beneath and a moonless, starless sky was right above . The peaceful quiet felt ethereal and the scenery was enchanting. The air glistened with magic. Orbs of light floated around , illuminating the darkness in that would have swallowed this mystifying place. I sat up and looked around at .
Where am I?
How did I even get here.
In the distance I could see a light, it was coming for slowly. I don’t know how light could be so graceful, but it was.
The closer it got the clearer the light beca.
Since the light was in front of , an animal figure erged from within it.
I couldn’t believe my eyes.
What I was seeing was impossible. I rubbed my eyes, trying to clear my vision of the mirage.
But it remained.
There was a small 8 tailed fox basking in the dimming light behind it. With silver tattoos on its fur and grey eyes.
The 8 tailed fox looked like the fox I found on the mountain.
And then, it spoke to . But not with its mouth but with its mind.
"You are correct, MoonChild, I am the fox that followed you from the mountain. I have waited so long for this mont. I am the guardian of the mountain. I am Phera." She spoke into my mind introducing itself. Her voice sounded ancient and wise, yet soft and soothing.
"Holy shit." Were all the words I could muster.
MoonChild? What does that an.
"You do not know?" Phera asked .
"Know what, exactly?" What is this wolf talking about?
"You are the called the MoonChild, the born again daughter of Artemis the Goddess of the moon and of the hunt, one of the four reign gods." Phera answered.
"I am the what?!" I all but shouted.
"The MoonChild, daughter of Artemis." Phera said again. Hearing it a second ti didn’t make it any more real.
"What the hell is going on? This is crazy. What does all this an?" I was dumbfounded.
"It ans, you are a deity, a goddess in the flesh. You are my master, I was created for you by the four gods and I’ve waited several millennia’s for you to be reborn and find ." She spoke proudly, with unwavering and unquestionable loyalty. I could literally feel it radiating off her like an aura.
"This is bloody insane. Why do you have 8 tails here and only one tail outside of whatever mystical dreamland I’m in." I asked curiously, questioning the truth Phera was telling .
"Because most people don’t respond well to a fox that looks mutated and defected in your world. The Goddess Artemis thought it best I look like a small, adorable, normal looking fox, so she hid my majestic beauty. You are the only person who can see my true form. Only a god can see as I truly am."
"This can’t be real, this is a dream. Yeah, that’s it, I’m dreaming. I must be going crazy." I muttered allowed.
"No, I brought your spirit into this plane a world made of creatures the gods have created. Many creatures reside here, so good, so evil, and so that do as they please reveling in chaos. Like the Leviathan, the fae, and sirens. Many creatures of your earthly folk lore are creatures that once road your world but now live inside this one." She inford .
"Wait, fae, you an, like Fairies?" No freaking way.
"Yes, they were the original creations, the first, made in the image of the gods. Gifted with the different abilities of the gods. But once humans were created, the fae and other creatures departed from your world." Phera said.
"Makes sense. Honestly, this world sucks anyways, if I could leave it I would too."
Phera laughed "You were created for this world with a purpose, a fate so to speak. As most of us are. The choice we make decide our destinies, but fate is a hard thing to change."
"A purpose, what purpose? Like the one in my dream?" I asked frantically.
"Yes." She answered.
"You an I’m to fight that thing and those monsters, you’re kidding , right? This can’t be real seriously!" I yelled running my hands through my hair. I wanted to pull it all out.
"No, I am not. I am your guide to the long forgotten knowledge of the past. The truth that’s been hidden from the world. Hidden from you." She told .
"Wait, you an I’ll finally get so answers?"
"Yes, MoonChild."
"I’m fucking cooked, aren’t I?" I asked in frustration.
"Maybe, maybe this ti we’re all cooked. Or maybe you’ll make your own future, or maybe fate will co full swing." She sounded all mystical and mysterious and shit. It was annoying, and a little cute.
Her tails moved behind her in their own rhythm, she looked stunning in this form. And montarily I was distracted from the overwhelming things I’ve been told and seen for the last two days.
"It’s a sha you can’t show your true form to the world. I like you like this. Can I touch your fur?" I was desperate to know if it was as soft as the small wolf that laid in my sleeping arms.
"Of course. I’d be delighted to be touched by my goddess." She purred, laying down in front of . Fitting perfectly into my lap.
I ran my hands through her fur, and I don’t know how it’s possible, but it was even softer than her fur in my world.
It was like heaven between my fingers. Her fur glittered and sparkled with each touch. She was truly breathtaking to take in.
"Our ti here is coming to an end, MoonChild. You are being pulled back to your world." She said leaving my lap, the space she used to occupy now felt lonely. "You are to keep this truth a secret. For now. When the ti is right to reveal your true self and true nature, you will know. And only then do you reveal this truth to the world."
