I lay against the shack wall, enjoying the cold and smooth texture of the well-treated wood, looking at the sleeping Rena with Yuzu curled into a ball on my lap.
'It seems absorbing the excess yoma caused her to return to her fox form...' My hands brushed through her silky hair while listening to the distant sounds outside the shack.
The changes in my body allowed me to use yoma to empower my organs as the dark magic particles flickered along my ears. I could hear into the distance, trying to filter out the snoring girls beside me.
There was the fluttering of insect wings... animals rushing through the fallen leaves, and then the clatter of steel, heavy boots marching through the soft mud, crushing the beautiful flora as people called out with harsh voices.
"The knights are close..."
Opening my eyes, I was hit with a sudden violent wave of vibrant colours that assaulted my eyes.
