Chapter 39 - Naya's Tent

"With the help of the last survivor of the toad clan, Edeth sacrificed her life with an ancient magic buried in the alpha tiki temple, banishing and sealing magic in the nether realms for eternity."

"Edeth knew someone might try to reverse the spell in the future.

As one last wish she commanded the forces of magic to grant each kin of the fox clan that she had ever known, the power to reincarnate and wield all of her battle techniques."

"What remained of Edeth was a diamond stone that was forged from the glory of her sacrifice."

"Since that time, we the foxes that were reborn have searched for Edeth's reincarnation all over the world for centuries but we never found her."

"Is that the end of the story?"

"Yes it is," replied Nyx. "but I still can't remember any of what you said." Zaya said sighing.

"Do not bother Zaya,Nyx said assuringly, it won't come immediately, but one of these days, it will, I promise."

Clouds gathered in the sky above them, There was an abandoned gas station a few miles from where their position.

Do you want to race?

Zaya asked Nyx. Determination set in her face, ready to defeat the former in the first race.

Nyx suddenly dashed forward, not willing to lose to Zaya, Zaya stood there amazed, in less than a second Nyx was completely out of sight. "That's cheating" Zaya yelled, racing after Nyx.

Under the rims of the rusted and abandoned gas station, sat Zaya and Nyx staring upwards at the drips of water that continuously fell from the sky.

I believe she will return, i could somewhat feel it

blurted Zaya, her face calm.

Why would you say that? Commented Nyx inquisitively.

I see her frequently in my dreams answered Zaya.

Nyx chuckled as she said , "you must be one of the closest in the six then."

"I was Olivia," "we fought so many wars together with her then," " All six of us were heart broken when we learnt of Edeth being sent to the infinite realms to live there eternally.

Do you think I'll be as strong as you when I get my memories back? Zaya curiously asked.

Nyx then replied as she smirked there would be only one way to know then.

Very soon we'll have to leave this parts, and spread all over the world, we must.

To find the Diamond stone before they do right? 

Asked Zaya equally sighing, "yes, and to keep it hidden." Answered Nyx.

If we do not take action now we might never be able to get to that diamond stone.

No worries Nyx we've got this, Zaya said as she holding Nyx's hand tightly.

"I promise you Nyx, we'll find it first before they do."

Seeing the heavy rain had subsided, Nyx stood up as she spoke, "as far as we are together Zaya we can do anything."

A few hours later, Zaya and Nyx returned back to the meridian island, The injured part of the civilians and warriors were taken to the nearby city.

All including Korin, the champion of the tournament of thousands and slayer of dragons.

Zaya and Nyx walked into one of the civilian's tent, greeted by a large crowd, none of them seemed to have noticed their appearance as they were completely lost in chattering.

Zaya smiled as both she and Nyx were the talk of the whole tent, what got her more interested was the fact that she was called the phantom paw while Nyx the red Ninja.

"I do not like that name, I'm not from the east," Nyx said, her gaze falling on a little girl who stared right back at her.

Zaya also noticed the girl and realized she was focused on their red and purple eyes. She's smarter than we think, Nyx spoke somewhat nervous.

Let's go before any one notices. Zaya dragged Nyx through the crowd of people as they began searching for Zaya's parents.

Not too far away, Zaya could see Naya in the crowd. She sat at a corner of the tent, her face looking alive as she talked with her neighbour, who held a baby in her hands.

"Mum!" Zaya called as she ran towards Naya giving her a hug.

Zaya! Yelled Naya excitedly returning the hug, Nyx then walked towards were Naya sat.

Mum this is the fox that ended the war. Said Zaya bodly.

"No Zaya, why did you speak?" Nyx immediately interrupted, her hands laid on her for head.
