When I suggested travelling together I didn’t expected what was waiting for me. Just like Nixie, when I find her, all of fairies had their lower wings tear out. So I had to carry them all.
I had Fairies everywhere. At my ears, on my arms, on my tail. Oh by the way I’m still naked.
There were few who were really interested in my genitals.
“Hey! My penis is off limit!” (Fluffy)
After I yelled that I could see disappointed faces. Even Nixie and Tenanye, seriously you girls need to restrain yourself.
Now that I thing about it I was really an idiot. Why did I have to destroy the bad guys completely, even with their clothes.
Ahh, this is really too much I looked like Christmas tree. Hey! Stop staring at my manhood.
I really need some clothes. That will be my first task in Fox village.
As we go our way I was talking with Tenanye about this world, but most was only confirming information from Nixie.
“Now that I think about it there isn’t anyone from water stage and above. Why is that?” (Fluffy)
“Well I tell you that pixies don’t have wings. Ground and Metal don’t have them too and Water have them in their respective elemental so their wings are from water. If you tear them out they disintegrate.” (Tenanye)
“So it’s like this huh. I guess the slave-traders really didn’t want to lose their way of earning. But still why did you listen to them?” (Fluffy)
“... They kept our youngest as hostages and every time we did something they didn’t like they kill 2 pixies.” (Tenanye)
“... ! Scums.” (Fluffy)
“It’s ok now. You did save us after all.” (Tenanye)
“That’s next thing I wanted to ask. Why did you trust me?” (Fluffy)
“Nixie told me about you a lot...” (Tenanye)
Hmm I didn’t see them speaking together. Oh it’s like this isn’t it.
“Will you teach it to me?” (Fluffy)
“What?” (Tenanye)
“Your telepathy.” (Fluffy)
“! Wha-What? How did you know?” (Tenanye)
“Well it’s pretty oblivious. I didn’t see you and Nixie speak together, you was too calm about your situation and that speaker of yours. He was probably test to determinate if I’m trustworthy right? But in the same time you didn’t know if Nixie was alive and you didn’t use it at me. I guess that you can use it for communication between Fairies for certain distance. Am I right?” (Fluffy)
She looked really pale for a while, but she chuckle and looked at me.
“For most part yes, but there are condition. It’s magic what can link me with every Fairy on this word if the other Fairy wish to communicate with me.” (Tenanye)
“Oh, so it’s like that. Interesting.” (Fluffy)
“But I can’t teach you it’s something only Fairy Queen can perform.” (Tenanye)
I will probably surprise her tomorrow.
“Tell me one more thing. I can’t see male of your kind.” (Fluffy)
“Oh, There are some of them on your tail.” (Tenanye)
I looked at my tail and find there at least 40 Fairies and 30 From them lift their hand.
“Hey, you are the speaker aren’t you?” (Fluffy)
“Y-yes, I’m sorry for my rude words I-“
“It’s ok I don’t hold grudge and you did it for your kind.” (Fluffy)
“Well even so .There are only this few of you?” (Fluffy)
“There are always only few of males as they are needed to reproduction, but females have much more birth-rate than males.” (Tenanye)
“Can male become royalty?” (Fluffy)
“Hmm, yes he can, but it’s pretty rare. Last fairy king was 4 generation ago. He was from fire element.” (Tenanye)
“And your element is?” (Fluffy)
“I’m nature; I have ability of using rapid grow of plants to my will.” (Tenanye)
“So you can become Queen or King from every stage and element?” (Fluffy)
“Yes, but I didn’t hear about Queen from Pixie. Main sore of Queen is that I can use abilities of every stage and Element, of course I would have to study every one of them to get a skill. So there are usually Queens and Kings who have 2 to 3 elements + telepathy. I for now have only Nature and Water element.” (Tenanye)
“Interesting, if it’s ok with you I would like to try some experiments tomorrow morning” (Fluffy)
She smiled like sun.
“But of course I won’t force you to kissing.” (Fluffy)
She shoved disappointed on her face. Hey come on it isn’t that much of deal.
“This is experiment to see if I can stay in contact with you. As it’s what I would really like.” (Fluffy)
And she smile again. These swings of her mood are fun, but I should probably stop if I still can.
“Nixie?” (Fluffy)
“Yes, my master.” (Nixie)
She just flied to me from my... I don’t even want to know where she was.
“How far is village of Fox-people?” (Fluffy)
“Still at least one and half day walking away”
Damn.
“Scout surroundings and find a place where we can camp.” (Fluffy)
“Yes master” (Nixie)
After a short while we came to small clearing and I sat down.
“Tenanye please have someone to try finding something to eat” (Fluffy)
“Ok” (Tenanye)
“D-Diana wants to help as well.” (Diana)
I keep forgetting about her. Our small limia was still on my head and ward of any Fairy who tried to get on my head. It’s like she had my head as her territory.
“Are you sure? Well if you want to, ok, but you have to be max 10 meters from out camp.” (Fluffy)
“Yes Fluffy-nii.” (Diana)
She’s still at it, well better than nothing.
I put my tail and hands at ground and let Fairies climb down.
“Ok I will go pick some wood.” (Fluffy)
I let everyone including our limia Diana at campsite and walked for a wood to the forest.
I came back and with me I carry small dry tree.
Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.
With the rest of wood at small pile I started preparing Fireplace.
Few small stick and one bigger was enough for start. I used my fire magic at it Oh and it seems I don’t really need any spell as long as I can imagine what I want to do with it, I can put it in use that’s probably even the cause for me being unable to use dark magic.
I can’t imagine it and even if I could use it I don’t know how I can end it.
“True magic.” (Fluffy)
The fire was set, but the faces what I get were ratter interesting.
“Wow.” (???)
“I didn’t think that it would be this easy and cool.” (???)
Huh? It seems that were faces of awe. This is first time I could see them.
“W-well it’s not much.” (Fluffy)
“I will aim to become Fire fairy.” (???)
“Yes me too!” (???)
Almost half of fairies said that they will become Fire fairies.
“Wait; if you want to become independent your community will have to become mixed. From every element there have to be at least few representatives. Please considerate what you will became more.” (Fluffy)
“Yes Fluffy is right, even so is tradition of our kind to choose what we want to so feel free to do so, especially Pixies.” (Tenanye)
I looked at them and the all nodded.
“So what did you find?” (Fluffy)
“... not much. Few berries, but Diana caught some small animals.” (Tenanye)
I looked at her with surprise and presented 2 creatures like mouse and 1 bigger more like squirrel.
“Oh, this is good.” (Fluffy)
“D-Diana tried catching more, but they were too fast.” (Diana)
She dropped her shoulder and looked down. I just smiled at her and extended my hand toward her. She put her pry at my hand.
Hmm, that’s wrong. I put it at ground and reach out again. She was slightly confused, but almost immediately she climbed at and looked at me.
“You did well.” (Fluffy)
I said while patting her head.
“Ehehe.” (Diana)
So cute.
“You can rest now I will prepare them.” (Fluffy)
“Yes Fluffy-nii.” (Diana)
She climbed back at my head.
“So do we have some herbs and spices?” (Fluffy)
“Well we can look around.” (Tenanye)
“Ok, do it.” (Fluffy)
In the meanwhile I tried to skin and disembowel today pry. The big one was pretty easy, but the mice were harder. Did you ever try skinning a mouse? It’s fucking irritating, but that was partly because I was doing it by my claws. Fuck I need knife.
In the end I made it right in time as they delivered some herbs and mushrooms?
“Hey Fluffy we find some herbs and this mushrooms, you don’t have to make face like that. We are fairies we know everything about this forest including poisons.” (Tenanye)
“... Ok give me what you found.” (Fluffy)
They gave me 30 herbs and 3 mushrooms. I tried them so I could know their taste.
Results: There were 4 types of herbs, one were spicy, second was bitter, third was sweet and fourth was something like mint. The mushrooms were all from one kind and they were really salty.
With this and that berries I tried doing marinade and applied it on meat. In meantime I have Nixie and few others, whose name I already forget, attach wood to fire.
When I was finished I put meat skewered on sticks on fire and slowly roasted it.
The finale product was pretty small amount. I decided that I wound eat as I was the biggest and even if I eat it all I wouldn’t be satisfied. Secondly I wasn’t hungry.
“You can eat.” (Fluffy)
I said after I took part of it and sat at acceptable distance from fireplace.
As Fairies pounced on meat I spoke in low voice.
“Diana?” (Fluffy)
“Y-yes Fluffy-nii?” (Diana)
“Come at my hand.” (Fluffy)
She sleepily climbed from my head and wrapped at my arm.
“You, when was it that you eat last time?” (Fluffy)
“Yesterday evening. Why do you ask?” (Diana)
“Take this.” (Fluffy)
I presented her my part of meat. Of course I tried it beforehand if it’s even edible.
“B-but isn’t this Fluffy-nii’s food?” (Diana)
“I already had some and you were the one who cough it so this is yours.” (Fluffy)
“O-ok.” (Diana)
She smiled at me. I feel bad about lying to her, but it’s necessary.
“It’s good, thank you Fluffy-nii.” (Diana)
After they finished eating I took first watch and let them sleep near the fire place. At night there were few disturbances. First was owl with golden eyes and black feathers. It just sat at branch near us and watched fairies, but I didn’t move from my spot so she flow somewhere else.
The second one was probably some kind of wolf. It tried to attack, but I whispered words ‘True magic’ and burnt inside of his mouth and snout so it will die without destroying its fur.
It trashed around for a while, but eventually died without waking up anyone, just Diana spoke from her sleep: “I can’t ear anymore.” I glad that she is full. Tomorrow we will have a wolf breakfast.
I kept watch thru whole night as I’m only one who can ward of these pests and I probably wouldn’t sleep even if I change with anyone. Strange I don’t have any need for food and sleep? If so why did I sleep yesterday?
Even so as I looked at faces of these who were sleeping on me I said myself that I indeed did right thing. Nixie, Tenanye, Diana I will protect you even if whole world will be against me.
I don’t know what’s awaiting me, but there probably won’t be third chance to live so I won’t have any regrets.
AN: Hi there I'm sorry for delay. I had entrance exams for my university. Now it’s time to wait so I will probably write more often.
