Chapter 9 - Day 9

As I read over what my predecessor Tempest wrote I can't help but feel the pure and true love she holds for me. Better know as Kitsuna the kitune who has accompanied Tempest on a great many journeys. Now that I have a humanoid form I could have worked with Tempest but she decided to immediately seize the chance for more power by turning into a kitsune although she only has one tail compared to my nine I can already tell she will be equal to or more powerful then me when she wakes up from the process. Feeling up her tail and fur I see why she loved petting me over all of her other pets over the last eight millennium. So silky and smooth very luscious. As it is my turn to be the responsible adult or humanoid I contact federation using Tempest codes I get an audience with the stellarch. I humbly request your assistance Duchess Tempest has become indisposed and can no longer live without major assistance as her fiancé I would like to request a lift off planet along with a special tree. He responds with how can I believe that you are actually her fiancé we have no records of her have any relations carnal, familia, or other. We know she has many clones out and about. I say well I am as should be evidenced by the fact I can connect to this channel and I never introduced my self I am Kitsuna the only living being she has ever actually cared about. If you check your records I should be mentioned as her heir and as a kitsune with nine tails. He goes silent and gets some people to check and he says. "Ok Kitsuna the ship will be there in five hours to pick you two up. Might I ask what happened to the duchess?" "She turned into a baby kitsune." I reply calmly "In that case you are now Duchess Kitsuna, as your predecessor can't be called upon." He says with no emotion at all in his voice. I decide to remind him of something important" Cool, remember it needs to be able to take a tree to space." He questions. "Why?" "Don't worry it's important." Well with that kind chat finished, I started prepping the hill and the mana tree for the shuttle. With all the important prep done I lay down on the couch with Tempest in my arms to wait for the shuttle. I hear the roar of an engine outside as I was getting up I heard a knocking at the door to the hill. Slowly making my way over to the door with Tempest in my arms I see a colossal shadow covering the land and a small transport sized shuttle in the courtyard. Moving closer I reach the shuttle and a group of people in heavy cataphract armor come out and greet me as Duchess Kitsuna. They start explaining that they will be take over this base as an outpost because it is actually really well made and are also there to help me leave. I tell them what needs packing up not much just the couch, bed, and mana tree. They look at me a bit strange when they come back with the couch as it is made of human leather. I though I would get weird looks for the tree not the couch I mean come on. Once everything was on the shuttle. It took off with a slight shudder. As it reached the docking bay of our private ship I began thinking about Tempest's luck so any kind of moving vehicle.
