Chapter 32 - Chapter 32 The Damaged Birth Tree Part 2

As Felix opened his eyes he glanced around and seen that he was in a forest on a path and at the end of the path he saw that there was a very familiar cabin. Felix stared at it for a moment as he asked "Wasn't I about to be stabbed in my apartment?" Felix began to walk towards the cabin as he said "Maybe she really did kill me during all of that." Once Felix reached the door of the cabin it opened and Pamela stood there staring at him as she said "Y-you really did die? I thought I was going a bit crazy when I felt your presence here." Felix flinched as he said, "W-wait… you mean Lilac really did kill me?" Pamela stared at him as she said "It's strange though, whenever a fox spirit dies they usually stop existing." Felix stood there for a moment as he nervously said "S-sorry… can you repeat that?" The girl poked him as she said "Yeah… you're dead… I'm able to touch you… maybe you can die and become a spirit because you were human before becoming a fox spirit." Felix stared at where she had touched him as he nervously asked "I-is it possible… that I might stop existing?" Pamela stared at him for a moment as she said "Maybe… but I'm pretty sure I heard that when a fox spirit dies they'll come back so long as their birth tree exists."

Pamela stared at Felix as she asked "Do you remember how you died?" Felix thought for a moment as he said "Probably Lilac… but I don't remember her stabbing me or going anywhere near my tail." The girl stared at him as she said "It's completely possible that she damaged your birth tree and that you're currently on the verge of nonexisting." Pamela stared at him as she said "This probably isn't the best time to ask… but did you at least get a wife and be happy for a while?" Felix sighed as he said, "Ya apparently I got five… although the happiness thing is debatable." Pamela began to softly pound on his chest as she angrily said "Then don't die yet, go back so you can at least get some happiness!" Felix stood there as he said "I don't think there's anything I can do… I'm basically dead already… you said it yourself." Pamela glared at him as she said "You can still live… I'm sure that you can!" As they both stood there the voice said "Hey Felix are you there?" Felix glanced around as he said "Yeah?" The voice seemed pleased as it said "Good, then if you want to live do exactly as I'm going to tell you." Pamela stared at him smiling as she said "T-then you still have a chance at happiness."

Felix stood there as he said "O-okay… what do I have to do?" The voice seemed serious as it said "I'm gonna channel my energy into you… as your already aware our energy is very similar… I'm gonna need you to redirect that energy into your birth tree, if you do that then the tree will be able to repair itself." Felix stood there for a moment as he shouted "So Lilac really did kill me!" The voice seemed angry as it said "This is not the time to worry about that… now if you want to live tell me when I can start pumping you full of my energy… and don't forget you'll owe me after this." Felix sighed as he said, "Yeah yeah… just start… I'll figure out how to redirect and then I'll stay still so you can latch onto me… okay?" The voice seemed happy as it said "R-really? I-I mean… why would I ask for something so trivial." Felix sighed as he asked, "Can you just start lending me some of your energy?" The voice cleared its throat as it said "O-of course… but I should warn you if you end up on the floor like last time and lose all sense of yourself you'll die almost immediately." Felix stood there for a moment as he took a deep breath and then said "Alright… I'm ready." As it started Felix began to emit a bright blue light and nearly fell as he managed to catch himself while he mumbled "T-too… much… must… not… give in."

As Felix stood there struggling to stand and to not lose focus Pamela walked up to him and lowered his head so that he'd look at her as she smiled and said "Thank you for visiting me… I'll look forward to some stories about you and your other five wives." As Felix stared at her his eyes slowly began to close as he said "S-sorry… might… not make it." Once his eyes were completely closed Pamela leaned in and just before giving him a kiss she said "Stay strong." Once she began to kiss him Felix's eyes opened as he stared at her and thought "M-my mind? I'm able to keep my focus?" Felix stared at her as he pushed her slightly away while still holding her close as he said "Thank you." Pamela smiled at him as she said, "Don't worry about thanking me yet… just be sure to come back with stories later." Felix smiled as he said "Sure… I'll come back with stories… so just you wait." Pamela continued to smile as a tear rolled down her face and she said "I'll be waiting… no matter how long I have to wait." As the blue light got brighter Pamela covered her eyes and then the light disappeared and as she opened her eyes Felix was gone. Pamela wiped the tear still smiling as she said "I'm glad I was able to touch him again after all this time… even if it was just for a moment."

As Felix opened his eyes he shot up from the bed touching himself as he asked "Did I stop existing?" The girl glanced at him as she said "No you didn't stop existing, luckily our energies were so in sync that your birth tree accepted it as yours." Felix let out a sigh of relief as he said "I thought I was a goner." The girl glanced at Lilac who was covering her mouth while crying as she said "You can stop worrying about being the one who killed him." As Daka and Vex hugged him Lilac walked over to him and joined the hug while still crying as she said "I-I'm sorry… I didn't mean to hit the tree, and I didn't know it would kill you." Felix sat there nervously as he said "I-it's fine… b-but please try not to damage it again… since I was just told that it's linked to my life." Silkie joined in on the hug as she said "I also didn't know why birth trees were so important to you until now… but we're all glad that you're not going to die from it." The girl stared at him as she said "No… he died, didn't you feel his cold dead body while he was laying there." As she said this Vex said, "P-please… d-don't die again." Daka nodded as she said, "Yeah, your my very first real friend after becoming like this." Daka glanced away while blushing as she said "A-and… your also our husbands."

Vex nodded as she said, "Y-yeah… don't die… y-you promised me last time you died… that you'd live a long and happy life… for the one you previously loved." Felix stared at her for a moment as he said "V-Vex… how long… have I know you?" Vex thought for a moment as she said "A-about four hundred years." Felix flinched as he asked, "A-and why are you just bringing this up?" Vex stared at him as she said "I-I thought… you remembered." The girl began to pull each of them off as she said "Yes it's very touching… now move it so I can get what was owed to me." Once they were all off of him the girl sat down in his lap as she said "Your energy truly is relaxing." Felix glanced at her as he asked "Did you know that me and Vex knew each other?" The girl nodded as she said, "Of course, you were my plaything even before you came back as a fox spirit." Felix sat there staring at her as he said "Knowing that could've been very helpful." Felix glanced at Vex as he asked "Is there anything else I should know about?" Vex blushed as she nervously said, "W-well… y-you also promised that you'd consider marrying me in order to make your previous wife happy… and hearing you say that… also made me very happy."

As the girl sat in Felix's lap she said "Something feels off." The girl stood up and peeked over Felix's shoulder as she said "Your energy feels more plentiful." As she looked over his shoulder she saw that there were two tails laying on the bed attached to Felix. The girl stared at them for a moment as she said "Did giving you my energy increase the rate at which you develop?" The girl sat back down on his lap as she smiled and said "Now that's funny… your a two-tailed fox spirit and can't even use foxfire." The girl glanced up at Felix as she asked "So what are your plans now that you've got a wife like your previous wife wanted." Felix sat there for a moment and then shrugged as he said "I dunno… I guess continue to go on with my life like usual." Silkie got closer to him and smiled as she asked "Perhaps… you'd like to have a child and begin a real family?" As she said this all the other girls blushed as the girl in his lap said "Having a child and beginning a family is hard work… truthfully I don't think he is ready for that." The girl glanced at Felix with a smile as she said "I'm right, aren't I? You don't want a child to raise yet." Felix nodded as he said "Unfortunately she's right… I don't think I'm ready to have a kid."

Silkie sighed as she said "That's actually quite disappointing… I was really looking forward to having a child." Felix stared at her as he said "Sorry but… I'm just not ready… maybe in a few years or something." Silkie smiled as she said, "Then it's not a complete no." As Felix sat there Lilac stepped in front of Silkie as she began to fidget she said "I-I'm… I'm really sorry… I just figured I'd say it again so you'd know that I'm sincere… and I hope you'll forgive me!" Felix stared at her for a moment as he said "If you're talking about killing me then I'm already over it." The girl stared at him as she said "Normally you'd hold a grudge towards whoever kills you… you shouldn't be so accepting towards the apology of the one who killed you." Felix smiled as he said, "I know… but I don't wanna be on bad terms with my wives." As he said this Lilac blushed and said "R-right." Felix continued to smile as he said "I hope we'll all continue to get along from here on out."
