Lillian walks with Tai out of the cave, she seen everyone cooking dinner together and Carra was already running over to her. Carra jumps into Lillians arms hugging her tightly, while kissing her all over her face.
" I'm glad your awake, I was going to come and wake you up and you would have liked what I planned to do" Carra said while looking into Lillians eyes, she turned to glare at Tai who was now laughing and shaking her head.
" well I just missed my mother, I know you probably dont want to talk right now and I also want to speak to you about Len" Tai said
Lillian kisses Carra on the lips gently.
" go finish dinner we'll come back in a few" Lillian said.
They both walk down by the small pond beside the waterfall and sit down on the edge.
" Tai I need you to make sure not to pressure your mates into a pregnancy like you did with Len, you'd leave her behind with your child and they'd both be hunted down. All of you need to become stronger and together you all will be stronger" Lillian said while looking at Tai, her daughter nodded her head in agreement with what she said.
" I guess I got excited and I can't help to want to do it though, especially with Len being in heat" Tai said fidgeting with a small rock in her hand, Lillian sighs then takes one of Tais hands in hers.
" I also have some other news to share with you and I know you won't be happy with it. You must realize that I would have died without this agreement that was given to assure my safety one night when your mother had to leave me" Lillian said while looking at the water, she sighed and leans her head back.
In two days we will all leave to go to the kitsunes kingdom and you must choose one of the five children to marry" Lillian said
Tai just stared at her mothers face while waiting for her to say that it's a joke, after a couple of minutes and Lillian not saying another word.
" your not joking are you" Tai said lowering her head, she is already finding so many mates and now she has to marry someone.
" I will not marry some man I don't know and even if I did know him it's still a no" Tai said, Lillian gives her a sad smile and holds Tais hand.
" there is four girls and one boy, hell to be honest I don't want you to be with a man and plus I know you hate them like I do. I wish that I didn't have to make you go through with it, it's a contract that cannot be broken by ether of us and they've already fulfilled their end by saving me." Lillian said, tucking a piece of hair behind Tais ear and she sees Emilia walking up behind them.
" well I'm sorry love, we'll talk more later and spend some time with Emilia she seems frustrated. Training will start tonight, so enjoy the free time you have now and for a hour you have after dinner. Wei and the others are gonna be taking advantage of the qi here for you all to absorb and you all have been training since you've been here. Theres a place to train at the kitsunes kingdom to where alot of you will have your tribulation at the end of the week there." Lillian said while getting up from where she was sitting. Emilia walks over to sit down beside Tai, she noticed that Lillian was leaving and hesitantly looks up at Lillian.
" I'll leave and you can stay, if you all are busy" Emilia said with a calm voice. Lillian smiles at her and rubs her shoulder.
" I've just told her about the next two days of training before we leave, I'll be telling the rest here in a little so Tai can tell you" Lillian said
