Chapter 22 - Chapter 20: Going to New Horizons

"What in Nea's name are you saying Luna?" Yunago asked. I meditate on the decision and Yunago impatiently pokes me. "Im thinking ok!" I exclaimed. "Look Fafir is bound to find us himself. We already have his daughter. Who he beats mercilessly I might add,but we can't risked being in one place for long.

We're basically on the run from a corrupt deity." I explain. The sudden realization sinks in everyone's head and even I get depressed by this. I lift my head and wipe away my tears. "Look..Im obviously not strong enough to fight Fafir yet and we'd all be outclassed by Vu Rachel's knights. WE HAVE TO LEAVE. WE HAVE NO CHOICE. Trust me if there was another way.....I'd found it and would tell you all in the first place. Now..let's pack up..We won't die here. Not under my watch." I say confidently yet a little scared. Pega and Ivanka silently confirm my demand and help pack. I get a idea and ask Pega where is Momma,Papa and Azou's hideout.

"You have to be the stupidest girl ever or the bravest ya know that right?" She coldly says while folding her arms. "Since your Aether AND my goddaughter I'll trust you buttt..if you turn on us. I'll put you down.GOT IT!!" She exclaimed with a cocky smirk. I giggle and nod and call the Brigands of Dalistad base.

Ember picks up the phone and sounds very excited to hear from me. "Oh my sweet beauty!! I knew you wouldn't have left us for long. Its me Ember..ya know...sigh..Pigtails." She said reluctantly. I giggle and tell her to pack also and inform the rest of the Brigands of my plan on leaving the Yddrgastad Mountains. She pauses and asked for me to visit. "I suppose I could but I have a little group with me now. Might be more crowded later though hehe."I giggled. "More crowded? What are you talkin about beautiful?" She asked making me blush. Yunago pinches my ear and takes my phone from me and hangs up.

Her hands on her hips meanwhile Ivanka and Pega snicker as if I'm in trouble. "Who's Ember and why is she hitting on my Lulu?" She asked demanding a answer. I giggle and scratch the back of my head and use Gala as a head rest. She giggled not knowing what's goin on. "Uh..uh..ya..see..she's uh...ummm" I stammered before getting kissed on my lips. "Aww how sweet a kitsune kiss is very sacred once she has you, your hers forever or unless you have a breakup or...death hehe." Ivanka said while swaying her tail touching Pega's arms affectionately.

"Ca..can we talk about..Ember later Yu? W..we need to be heading out of the Yddrgastad Mountains than to Dalistad. We're gonna need all the help we can get along with tents,food and water." I say nervously while trying not to look at Yu's...cleavage.

"Not everyone is gonna want to take a forty year journey to Nea knows where. For now your right Fafir is gonna cause trouble. You just need to stay calm,focus and get stronger. In fact all of us do." Yu warns. We each hike up our belongings and leave. Ivanka was last to leave and seals the cave up with the giant ice door making it camouflage with the rest of the ice mountain. It takes three hours flying just to get to Dalistad. Once were there Clest,Mei,Winlow and Kay are waiting for me in leather garb. Once we land Ember burst from the sewer cover and rushes towards me.

She tackled me to the ground and kisses me on the cheek countless times. I look up and see Yunago look very menacingly. I quickly slip away from Ember's grasp and giggle nervously. "Ah..a Kitsuné they're very very rare. The fact you found one Luna holy heck hehe. Im Ember and the girls in leather are Kay,Winlow,Mei and my second in command Clest. Thank you sooo much for taking care of my Luna." She smiled.

Yunago gets a little offended by that remark and looks towards me. "She your girlfriend then Luna!!?" She asked angrily. "Uh..should we go in Ember. This is getting awkward." Ivanka asked Ember nods and the rest go in while Gala giggles eating a cookie Clest gave her. Meanwhile Yunago folds her arms and Ember looks totally confused. "Welll..Im waiting Luna!! What's this about. Why is this chick kissing you hmmmm?" She asked. "She's just is a friend..she usually does that Yu. No need to get your tail in a knot." I assure her. Ember looks a little hurt and nudges my arm. "I thought you and I were gonna...you know...do it once you came back? Are you telling me you already got laid with..a kitsuné?" She asked.

"GIRLS please..stop..Look..Ember..your my friend ok and Yunago..she's my girlfriend. I love her and..NO..WE DIDN'T HAVE SEX OK?!!" I yelled so they'd back off. "Oh...well...Sorry...I'll just..once again feel like a fucking idiot...DON'T worry..oh woest mee." Ember dramatically says.

"B..c..congratulations..L..Luna. heh..heh" She stammered sounding heartbroken. I get concern and go to comfort her while Yunago touches my shoulder. "She's doing that just to make you feel bad. Don't stoop to her level baby your far better than that." She warns before we go into the base. We slide down the long hole that leads to the main entrance once we land. Yunago sees Gala eating a piece of candy and I quickly snatched it away from her. "Three pieces missy. How many have you eaten so far?" She asked. Gala says two and takes the candy piece away and eats it. Clest escorts everyone but me and Ember to the main hall to rest. While everyone is enjoying themselves I search for Ember.

"Pigtails..yoohooo Pigtails..Ember..Im sorry ok..I..I didn't mean to hurt your feelings but..She's so beautiful and..I fell in love with her..please..talk to me." I said sounding like a fool. I see Ember with her back turned to me. She turn towards me slightly and looks away. "Im just a fool apparently. You don't have to lie to me ya know. If you had sex with her...that's your business not mine." She sadly says. I close her room door and sit on her bed to hug her. "I swear..I didn't do any thing sexual with her...I know she'll hate me for this but...I was thinking about the last time me and you were in here...alone together." I said blushing like a idiot.

Ember touches my hand and looks me in my eyes. "Remember I was the one who gave you your first kiss..but right now..there has to be a more important reason you and your little group are here. Other wise..my charms alone wouldn't bring you back." She says crying and looking to the floor. I look at her and return her stare. "Yunago is gonna kill me for doing this..but..couldn't hurt." I kiss her on her lips making her blush a deep pink.

Once I lean back Ember smiles and hugs me tight. "That was very sweet Luna..hehe. I really appreciate that..maybe..we can um..uh.." She stopped and seductively looked at me. "What?! uh..um..Im a virgin still..I wouldn't even know were to begin..but..if things don't work out with Yunago..I'll definitely ask you...for...help." I bashfully assured her. She feels my butt and smiles. "This one time..you get to do that..Don't want Yu to hurt you or..you hurting her." I say.

"Pfft she looks like she can handle her own but let's go to the main hall. Im interested in what is going on." She suggested. We walk towards the others and everyone focuses on Ember. "Ahem..everyone. Luna and friends along with Gala have returned once again. I assumed after talking with our fellow Brigand. She has urgent news im sure so Luna the floor is yours.

"Ahem well as you all know the whole Fafir situation has gone absolutely batshit crazy. He's married Nea,created these weird lookin monsters and knights. A few worshippers have been declared generals of his new army and his top general has been seen with a small group searching for his daughter Destiny..which is this girl with the white long hair." I explain after the Brigands and people gasped with horror." What if Fafir's knights find us? What if they kill anyone who could be hiding her or think they helped her turn her back on her father.

What are we gonna do? Where will we go?" Clest panickingly asked. Everyone else wonders the same thing and I calm them down. "We will leave Dalistad and head towards were my mother,father and older sister are. From her last message. Were going to a new province in general..I believe she called it. Nasaag?" I wondered. "Wait..Nasaag..t..that's were Zuma is from that's his homeland. Why would Fafir attack there?" Ivanka asked. I smirked and grabbed a bowl and filled it with water than spilled it purposely. "Because Fafir's patience is lesser than the time it took to spill this bowl of water he'll get bored and won't even want to go to a land that's mostly filled with Dragon- esque and animal-esque people.

Minus Parithia which is a city near the border of Crea and the province of Junastep. About hmm..What did Granny Elena say..One thousand five hundred kilometers from Dalistad." I mentioned while petting Gala's head. "So how do we get to Nasaag? I mean yes you all can fly at will and teleport but flying there may take two to three days non-stop."Pega tells us. I think more on this and come up with a idea.

"You all may think this is risky but...we may have to walk there or at least to the nearest space train or if push comes to shove fly there. The rest of you Dalistadians will have to remain here along with a few Brigands to protect them. Sorry but I can't take you all with us." I apologize. The Dalistadians nodded in approval. Clest said she'll stay along with Kay and Winlow. Mei hands Ember an backpack and a sleeping bag and wishes all of us good luck. We all leave and soar into the air and get a feel for the nearest town towards Nasaag. "Mommy that way. Gala sensed Grandpa. Hold on Destiny Gala gonna fly us there hehe." She giggled while carrying Destiny like a feather.

"I can fly myself Gala but thanks. Guess I'll fly you when ya get tired. If ya ever do. So much energy hehe." Destiny giggled. Once we get flying I see the massive grasslands and forests everything looks so beautiful and peaceful from the sky. Behind me is Ember and Ivanka. Pega motions towards a upcoming town. We land just before sunset and walk into a inn to rest for the night. "Hmm..Ah a sign. Voricle Village this inn seems big enough for all of us.

Thankfully we haven't ran into any assailants or criminals yet. Why don't we just get a room and rest ok guys?" I ask. They agreed and each of us talk with the innkeeper a lady with purple long hair and a matching purple cottontail. She shows us to our room and continues wiping a bottle. "Mm..already tired ehh Yu? Hehe. The bed is soo big and warm. I can't wait to get to Momma and Papa. I miss them."
