Chapter 12 - Relrem

As Zarue finished saying this a green line flew down Zarue's arm and out his palm. Once this happened, what stood before them shocked them to their core. Where what they assumed would be standing in front of them was the Iron Fox Lord now Relrem which was adult fox size, was not what they saw. What stood before the trio was a massive emerald green fox with two tails, and stood roughly two meters tall at the shoulders and five meters long from snout tip to tail tip!

Two reactions happened. Yes, only two, because two out of the three had the same reaction. Can you guess who? 3… 2… 1…

"Holy F*CK! A Kitsune! Talk about one hell of a mythic beast to show up! This could end terribly!" Regen and Vetiol exclaimed, falling on their butts in awe and some fear.

Authors note: Some Kitsunes, especially at this size, are considered the biggest of trouble makers able to cause disasters at a whim. Trouble is, they are registered and kept at bay with a game. However, a certain fox that has now shown up, is definitely not registered. All three know. Just wanted to fill you in Ta ta for now.

Eyes gleaming in awe and sheer joy, walking up to Relrem. Zarue felt no need to fear the fox and petted the cheek he could reach. "Well then Relrem. Are you not something really awesome!" Zarue stated happily stroking Relrem's fur.

The fox beamed hearing Zarue's words. He was truly afraid that he would be feared not only by his moms, but by his master as well. The fox let out a soft happy sound and turned to Zarue, his tails wagging gently and bowed to Zarue.

"I believe a proper introduction is in order now my Master! Now that I have my name bestowed upon me by you I can do this properly now. Greetings Master, I am Relrem, my title is Iron Fox Lord. Due to your tremendous thinking and power, I was created by you channeling the Ki of the Iron Wood Tree Lord. My affinity for the elements are Wind and Lightning. I solemnly swear Master that I will protect you and whoever you deem worthy of protecting around. I will act as graceful as the wind, yet fierce and strong as lightning against all your enemies. This I swear as Relrem, your first summon and advisor with my years of knowledge if you will accept me."

Zarue smiled and laughed, his laugh was clear and soft, as if a soft breeze going through windchimes. "My dear friend! We have been training together and spending our free time together! I have already accepted you! Those who do not I wish would discuss it first before turning us into enemies. My goodness, I knew you could be ferocious! What a vow of fealty!" Before continuing what he was saying he hugged the giant kitsune fox. "You are already family Relrem, what I am assuming is your true form was just surprising." Zarue happily murmured while stroking the foxes fur during the hug.

As if to reaffirm what Zarue said, Regen and Vetiol walked up and hugged Relrem as well.

"Sorry for our reactions, for the past six months you were a regular sized adult fox that was obviously a mythic beast. We had no idea the Ki that is part of you had made you a Kitsune. You are always welcome and seen as family." Regen said happily.

"Agreed, and this goes to both of you now. You are both our children, and since you have attained the title of Master from Relrem, and showed that once again, Summoners do exist. You are a Summoner that is going to shake the world to its core, and whoever follows you, along with loves you, is family. Regen, we are going to need a bigger house." Vitriol chimed melodically cheerily.

Laughing at what Vetiol had said everyone agreed and nodded their heads. Zarue looked at Relrem with glee along with some sadness.

Upon noticing this Relrem looked at his young Master. "What troubles you?" Relrem asked while bringing his face to eye level with Zarue.

"Is it cramped being the size of a regular adult fox? I do not want to inconvenience you, but it was nice having you walk around with me wherever we go. I am just concerned other people might take your true form the wrong way." Zarue asked sheepishly, with concern in his eyes.

"Oh Zarue! You are too kind! Just because I am a different size does not mean I feel more comfortable at one state and uncomfortable at another! I will happily be at the size I have been these past few months. However, the only thing I can not do is use any of my mythic beast attacks at regular fox size." Relrem said in reverence to his Young Master, as he returned to the size he was at before. "I will also come out in this form from now on when you summon me Zarue, that way to avoid some… confusion." The fox chuckled and looked up at Zarue with a wink.

Zarue giggled at the foxes sly remark and stopped to think. "Hey mom! If Relrem is unable to use mythic beast attacks in this state, is it possible for him to learn Ki techniques and infuse them with his Element Ki?"

Regen stopped in mid step heading towards the house. Surprise written on her face as she turned to look at Zarue. A coy smile creeping on her face and a twinkle in her eye.

"You'll have to find that out once your have your breakthrough on your Ki Core. Now wont you?" Regen said cheekily.

As Zarue heard this from his mom Regen, he looked at Relrem and saw a gleam in his eyes that matched how he felt. An eagerness to get inside and have him have his breakthrough in his Ki Core! It is gooing to be an interesting evening! That was for sure!
