In the middle of the night, Neve had a dream more of a memory. She dreamt of that lonely little boy again. This time Neve went up to him. "Hello there. What's your name?" "Oh my name? My name is...." "Huh? What is your Name?" "Its..." "I can't remember his name. Dammit." I woke up and went to get some warm milk.
"Oh hello there Neve. Can't sleep?" said Aries. "No. I just woke up from a dream or a memory I think. Do you remember that lonely kid?" "Yeah." "I'm trying to remember his name. It seems important somehow." "Oh you want to know his name? Why didn't you ask? I could have told you. His name is Tyson." "Tyson huh?" "Neve you ok?" "Yeah. I got the milk out of the fridge and poured some in a cup to warm. I put the milk back in the fridge and drank my warm milk. "How do you know his name?" "Oh I heard his mom or some lady call him." "Oh I see. Thank you babe. Your a lifesaver." I kissed Aries on the lips and said "Goodnight babe." "Night Neve." She went back to sleep. Aries went back to bed too.
Two days later it was time to leave. Once we got to the port, "Aww man. Its time to go already." I said. "I can't wait to come back after and look at the stalls. Also to rest and Visit." "OK Lets go everyone." Said Keelo. "Hehe. Copying me uncle?" "I guess so. So are we taking the griffins and Jay again?" "Its the only way unless you want to swim to the island." said Aries. Aries and I rode on Hazel, Keyon and Quinn on Archer, Wren and uncle on Jay. "Ok guys Hang on tight!" said Artimis. So Everyone hung on tight and headed for the island.
We finally got to the island and decided to rest. While were resting, I explained what was going to happen. "Ok. Those of you who I name off with be coming with me. I am only allowed 3 people. Keelo, Wren and Aries are going to be the 3 coming with me. The others will be here if me or anyone else get injured." "Ok Neve." "All right. We will have to borrow Jay and Hazel if that's ok?" "Sure." "OK. Lets go."
"Hello Jay. Good boy. Uncle and Wren. Go ahead on Jay. Hello Hazel. Can you give me and Aries a lift?" She rubbed her head on me. "Hehe. Ok." I got on Hazel and we were off. It was a little ways away but we made it. "Thank you girl. Go back to the others. You too Jay. Go back to Artimis. Hehe. I'll be ok." So they flew back to their owners. "Ok. Ready Everyone?" I said. "As ready as we will ever be." said Wren. "By the way Nice battle clothes Neve." Said Aries. "Thanks." I wore the one with the belly button showing. I had my pouch with my throwing stars, The sword on my left hip, and my bow and arrows on my back. My hair was braided so it was out of the way. So we went in the foggy area.
"This is a little spooky." said Wren. "I know right?" I said. "Everyone be quiet." Keelo whispered. Luckily the place was lit up with torches. "Uh Uncle." "What Neve?" "Look up." Keelo looked up and said, "Oh crap. Run guys!" "Uncle I fought these guys before. Hang on." I used my power first just to be sure, it just weakened it. "Ok its as I thought. Uncle I have to get on top of it." "Neve NO!" "Sorry guys. I have to do it."
I did my lightning in my feet and flew up to get on the monsters back. "Leave us alone! We are here to see Tyson you stupid Creature. Now weaken already!" I Weakened it a lot by hitting the creatures head with my lightning. Then I fell with it. "Neve!" Cried Aries. She landed on the ground on top of the creature. The guys were on stairs. They tried to go as fast as they could to see if she was ok. It was 4 or 5 flights of stairs. "Neve!" Keelo yelled. "If you can hear us say something!" Nothing came out of her mouth.
They finally got down and ran to her side. They got Neve to a safe place. "Neve! Wake up!" said Aries. Aries touched her head and said, "Looks like she will be fine. She just passed out from shock. She should wake up soon." "Hmm...." "Good. She's waking up. Neve you ok?" "Yeah. We should go." I said. I tried to stand but couldn't. "I will carry you." Said Aries. "No. I'm fine really. You won't be able to defend yourself if you do that." I stood up again and I was steadier. "Ok I'm good now. Lets go." So they walked off again.
"Oh shit!" I whispered. "It scratched me. Its just a scratch though. I will live." Aries heard me and said, "Are you sure Neve?" said Aries. "Oh, Uh yeah. Lets go." We were halfway to where we needed to go when we had to fight monster to monster. Then finally the goblins brother. "I got this guys." I Said weakly. "I am hurt pretty bad. Can barely stand. Hey. Can we avoid fighting please? Your brother stabbed me with the sword that was supposed to be destroyed. He was going to finish me off. I killed him with what strength I have left. I'm sorry. I wish I didn't have to kill him. That is really the first time I killed. I can barely stand please let us through." The goblin listened to what I had to say and said, "My brother could be a pain sometimes. He stole that sword from someone who was keeping it safe. Where is the sword now?" "Its safe again." "I see. I'm sorry. I still have to fight you. I can't control my body. All of us are being controlled or else I wouldn't fight If I had to." They fought and other goblins came.
After awhile the goblins were knocked out, and we went in the room where Tyson was supposed to be. I fell on my knees. "Neve!" Aries and uncle helped me up. They supported me since I couldn't stand. "Tyson! Where are you!" "I'm right here." He walked out with his hood up. He had a black hood with green mixed in like my cape with blue. "Are you going to tell us what we are here for? You said it was about our family?" "Yes it is. No monster can come in here so you are safe for now. Neve. I see you remember me." "Well I remember your name at least. The other stuff will follow. So what about my family? It is about the curse. It is time for it to be lifted." "Wait how do you know about the curse?" said Keelo. "I know because my grandfather was the one that put it on you. He told me how to break it. I was telling Neve in her dream that I would try to keep it where they can still go from fox to human. No promise though." "One more thing." I said. "It might make it so they can still transform but, can you make the little ones that aren't cursed transform as well?" "That is a big order but I will try. After this Neve. No other fox born will be able to turn human unless they are born human they won't turn." "I understand. Uncle? What do you think?" "Lets do it."
"Ok. Neve I need you and Keelo to stand here. First let me ask you. Is Keelo your blood uncle?" "Well dad and Keelo share the same mom just different dad's. He is half blood." "Good enough. ok. I need you both to hold hands. Both hands please. I want you to close your eyes and think about the curse broken and think about the exceptions you wanted. It depends on how strong your will is that it will happen." "You agree with me right uncle?" "Yes I do." "OK Lets do it." We closed our eyes and were thinking what we wanted. "Ok got it guys?" "Yes we do." I said. "Ok then." He recited an incantation and got a speck of blood from each of us. He rubbed the blood on his hands and it dissolved. "Ok you can open your eyes now Neve and Keelo." "Keelo? Can you still turn?" "Let me see." He turned into a fox then back to human. "Yep. I hope it worked with the others too. Hey Tyson?" "Yes Neve?" "You were right." "What was I right about?" "A lot actually. For starters what I came here for. Now I know I have to get you out of here. Follow us." "Ok then. Lets go. I know a safer way out."
They went through a secret door that the monsters didn't know about. "Shit!" I said. "I got hurt by the goblin. I didn't know about it. I feel dizzy." "Neve! Someone grab her! If she falls she won't survive!" Keelo and Aries caught her. "Whew. Be careful. Once we get down, we need to treat her wound or she will die." "I understand. Lets go." said Keelo
They finally got down and laid Neve down. "Neve hang on! I have an antidote for it." said Tyson. "Neve needs to swallow this." He poured a clear liquid in her mouth. She swallowed it and coughed. "(Cough Cough.)" "That's a good sign." They looked at Neve's wound and it was closing. "Oh thank god she's going to be ok." "All right how do we get back to the island?" Neve woke up and said, "Hang on. I know how." I Whistled even with my pain. All 3 animals came. "I'll help Neve on Hazel and hop on. Tyson on Archer, uncle, Wren on Jay." They flew back to the island.
