Altora: The Chronicles Of The Ren Ky Warriors - Volume 4: Book 4: Wolves And Foxes Chapter 144 Lark 28th Fox

Gale shivered as they walked through the deep snow. While Zephyr walked behind him.

“Why d-did it have to snow the night b-before?” Gale chittered.

Zephyr rubbed her arms as she looked ahead te see smoke rising. “Well, if we think about a warm fire and a warm bath. It might warm you up.”

Gale looked up to see the smoke as he began to think happy thoughts. As they tracked onward. They reached the city street as they were plowed and the people smiling and laughing as the children played in the fresh snow.

A woman walked up to them as they brushed most of the snow off themselves. “You two, alright? It seems you got caught in the snowstorm last night?”

Gale nodded as he looked at the woman, “We will be fine once we warm up? DO you know a place we can go to warm up and dry our clothes for a while?”

The woman nodded, “Yes, I know of the perfect place, follow me. I will take you the hot springs.”

Gale turned to Zephyr as she smiled at him nodded as they followed the woman. Zephyr entered the water, feeling he cold melt away as she sank deeper and deeper. Letting out a sigh of content. The woman dipped in after her as she smiled in bliss.

“Now that feels good! So, where are you two from, and what are your reasons for coming all this way?” the woman asked. She glared at the wall, “You boys better not be peeking, or I will have the take with you mothers later!”

The sound of splashing from the other side of the wall caught Zephyr’s attention as she looked at the women’s hardened stare. “What was that about.”

The woman sighed as she turned to smile at Zephyr, “Some teens who think peaking at a woman n.a.k.e.d makes them a man. Anyway, are you going to answer my questions?”

Zephyr turned away, “We came here looking for a friend of a friend here. We don’t know her name, but we were hoping to find her using her friend’s names.” She explained as she began to blow bubbles in the water.

“WHAt this friend’s name? I might know who you are looking for?” The woman asked calmly.

Zephyr turned to her, staring her in the eyes, “Kana.”

The woman froze as she heard the name. “Wait, your friends with Kana? Then you areZephyr, right?” Zephyr slowly nodded as she stared at the woman, “And the fellow that came in with you is Gale, right?”

Zephyr nodded again, “Yes, and you are?”

The woman smiled, “I am Mopsa, Kana’s friend. She sent word a day after you left. I was expecting you two in a week as it is storm season for us here in WInterstorm.” Mopsa explained. “You two are something if you survived the first day.”

Zephyr turned red as she whipped herself around. “We didn’t know.”

Mopsa touched her shoulder, “Lut us get out, your friend should be out as well. I will treat you to lunch before we head to my place.” Zephyr nodded as she left the pool.

Gale was waiting outside as they walked out. “Hey, how was your time in the spring?” Mopsa asked him cheerfully.

Gale sighed as he looked over at Zephyr, see her smile. “It was great. It melted the storm form this morning away, and what was with the boys who ran out earlier?”

Mopsa chuckled as she tapped Gale’s shoulder. “They were peepers.”

Gale grew red with rage as he noticed them coming back. They stopped at the air around them became stale. Looking at Gale as he glared at them. The boys walked away in shame. While their mothers walked in, asking what was going on and why they wanted to leave. Mopsa asked Zephyr and gale she would be a moment as she went and explained their behaviour to their mothers.

“What did I miss?”

Zephyr smiled as she grabbed Gale’s hand, “Nothing prince Gale!” She raised her voice as the boy could hear them.

Gale raised his brow as he figured what she was doing, “Are you sure, Princess? If something is bothering you from your own people, you should tell me?!” Gale flowed her lead as the boys went pale.

Mopsa glanced over as the mothers notice their son’s reactions. Chewing them out for it. MOpsa watched as one of the mothers walked over to Zephyr. “I am so sorry this happened to you, Princess.”

The mother elbowed her son, gesturing him to apologize to Zephyr. “I-I am sorry for my foolish behaviour, please forgive me.”

The boy was shaking as Zephyr grinned at him. “Well, if you have learned your lesson, I wish for you to remind the other young men who will do this they will be castrated on sight by the woman that catches them.”

The boy went even paler as he nodded and walked away, form them. Mopsa walked over as she cringed. “What did you say to make him go snow white?”

Zephyr grinned at her, “I said that if another woman is peeped on by him or another man, they have the right to castrate them peeper.”

Gale sighed as he looked over to see the boy’s friend asking him what happened. “I am guessing you are going to send a letter to your uncle to make it official then?”

Zephyr turned to him, “yes, and the warning will be put up by the owner and staff as it would detur any more peepers as it will be a felony.” Zephyr smiled devilishly as she walked over to the entrance.

Mopsa cringed at the idea, “Well, nothing is going to stop her, but we better go after her. I will explain more once we had lunch.”

Gale nodded as he followed them to lunch. Mopsa explain who she was and that Kana had sent word ahead. GALe nodded as he explained more about there predicament. Mopsa sat and listened to him as Zephyr filled in more about their journey leading up to where they are.

“I see, so you two ran from your problems, but now you want to figure out where you stand now?”

Gale nodded at her, “Yes, but with the fact that we like each other, that makes things more difficult.”

Mopsa glanced at them, “Wait, you two are dating?” She pointed at them.

Zephyr nodded, “Yes, and now we don’t really know what to do about that. As we both have never dated anyone. Yet we wish to get stronger as individuals.”

Mopsa hummed to herself as she leaned back in her seat, “What do your Ren-Ky weapons look like?” Zephyr glanced at Gale as he nodded. She summoned her weapon as it was not the same as before. Mopsa took a closer look as she examined her claws. “It seems you were able to fully awaken them, but you need to find your voice to do so.”

Gale summoned his weapon as she took one glance as she stared at him. “What?”

Mopsa just stared at him before leaned back as she covered her eyes. “You, my dear, have not even gotten close to awakening it. But I think that’s where we will start after thatI will keep to myself for now until you two are ready.”

Gale glared as he sighed, “So when do we start training?”

Mopsa leaned forward, “Tomorrow morning. You, Gale, will be looking for your inner strength and what you want to do with it. While miss Zephyr here will be working on raising her voice up so people can hear her as that is all that she needs.”

Zephyr nodded sheepishly as she looked over to Gale as he stared at her with his mouth gaped open. Trying to figure her reasonings.
