Chapter 20 - Luna's Secret : Bonds of blood and magic

During the remaining weekdays, Ethan became a little busy with school and training, and about Luna, he talked with Maria about her.

In the beginning, she didn't agree to take any pet inside the house but after a little coaxing and showing how cute and intelligent Luna is, at last, she finally relented.

In these weekdays, not only does Ethan get a little mastery over his power but also closes the distance between Joe and himself, making her waver about her decision to stay with Christian and about Christian he seems to be skipping school these days.

-----------------------------------------------

On Saturday evening,

Deep inside the forest, near a cliff, a young man was sitting under the tree looking at the dipping sun below the horizon, while the area around him was completely in ruins like there was some kind of battle that happened near him.

The boy didn't look troubled about the area around him.

He got up feeling a sense of accomplishment and looked at the time on his smartphone.

The forest has become his little training ground where he doesn't have to worry about being discovered or some prying eyes, allowing him to hone his skills and embrace self-discovery in the tranquil embrace of nature.

The Young man is none other than Ethan, who was practicing his abilities and honing them over these days inside the forest.

Exhausted but exhilarated, Ethan made his way back home, and after taking a refreshing shower, he moved towards his room.

The moon cast a gentle glow through the window as he entered. To his surprise, he found a figure sitting on his bed in a meditative posture. It was a girl, about 16 years old, with silver-white hair cascading down her shoulders.

"Who are you?" Ethan asked, his senses on high alert.

The girl opened her eyes, revealing a pair of mesmerizing eyes. "It's me, Master. Luna."

Ethan stared in disbelief, with his mouth wide open, enough to fit a goose egg.

Watching the look of disbelief on her master's face, she giggled a little and transformed back into her fox form again, making it look like a magic trick for Ethan but after some time he finally digested the news, as he has abilities too, so it wasn't hard for him to accept that.

Then she explained how she fell into the trap during her magic training, and how she would have almost died at that time if he hadn't saved her in time. She also explained that she is not a native of this place and her home is inside some closed realm named Vulpinaria, where the only inhabitants are foxes.

Ethan sat on his chair while listening to her story, then suddenly he asked a little curious, "I get that you are some princess and all but why are you calling me Master? I don't remember teaching you anything"

"Well, that's because a fox can't drink human blood unless she wants to take that person as her master, and the person giving her/his blood wants to take that fox as his/her contract beast as well otherwise the contract fails."

"Ohh! So that's why, But I don't remember agreeing to something like that in the first place. I only gave you my blood so it could heal your wounds"

"So, you knew that you have miraculous blood in your veins. Are you also some type of superior beast like me, Master?" Luna asked excitedly.

"Eh?? No! I'm a normal human as far as I know. I don't know how but somehow I got these powers and why would you believe that I'm some superior beast, not the normal one?"

"From the books that I've read, there were details of some superior beast that has fast regeneration abilities like Phoenix, Dragons, Hydra, and much more"

"I only got this power recently, Luna. So it's unlikely that I'm some type of beast."

"Ohh!" Luna exclaimed and fell into deep thought.

I also didn't disturb her and started inspecting her from head to toe. She looks really beautiful for someone younger than 20, with White hair falling on her back, sharp eyebrows that keep twitching from time to time, her heterochromatic eyes along with her white eyelashes, a small nose, and cherry-like lips, it is almost like she isn't from this world but some otherworldly being.

She is wearing a long black and red colored Chinese hanfu, complimenting her otherworldly appearance.

When I was checking her out she suddenly cried out while covering her small breas*ts in embarrassment that are in their budding stage," M-MASTER, W-What are you looking at....?"

"I-I wasn't l-looking there, Luna. I swear! I was just thinking where did you get this dress from?" Ethan quickly said, to not let her misunderstand.

"S-Sorry for misunderstanding you, Master. And about these clothes, I made them with my elemental magic" She apologized for misunderstanding with her head down a little.

"No, it's all right. I can guess why you thought that I was looking there but can you tell me more about, what is elemental magic, Luna?" Ethan said while scratching his head in embarrassment.

"I'm really sorry, Master. But it's your fault too, to always behave like a perv around the girls, even if I was a pet."

I only scratched my head in embarrassment.

"These clothes are made up of my magic and will disappear if I ran ever out of ma-

Knock-Knock

"Sir Ethan, Madam has asked for your presence at the dinner table"

"I will be there in a few minutes, Isabel"

After Isabel went away, I turned to Luna, who turned herself into a fox again and said we would talk about this later and asked if she wanted anything else for dinner. to that, she only shook her head in denial and only wanted fruits as she hadn't tasted the outside world's food except for the fruits that were grown in her realm.

I nodded and made a mental note to let her taste the delicacies of this place, and I'm sure that she gonna love them.
