Chapter 24 the redheaded young woman

"The Angel's mind does not modify its host's body, instead it teaches the host how to coinvolge other Elementals. The Angel's mind strenght is creating connections, while the Demon's body fights alone, the Angel's mind creates an army.

The Angel's mind charismatic approach will make the other beings believe in it, belief is the most important thing for an Angel's mind."

-Bee May, the faery of knowledge

"I don't like the angels, they are shifty and they always think they are the smartest ones in the room."

After the not so friendly banter with Mary, Fianna lightened Little Wolf's punishment. From now on he could go outside the First Hunter's house BUT, he could only do so if Sidon or Fianna escorted him. As Fianna was fare more busy than her husband, the babysitter duty fell on Sidon.

In the evening of the same day, the village was in a frenzy. The villagers were whispering about an unknown pretty redheaded young woman that was following around the First Hunter. She was following Sidon like a lost puppy. She was excitedly jumping around him, pointing left and right, chittering and chittering. The worst thing was that Sidon let the young girl do as she pleased and even smiled to her!

Fianna was watching the children frolic around when a caretaker came to bring her the rumors about her husband betrayal. Fianna knew the rumors were just that, rumors. With what the couple had gone through from the moment they met. She knew Sidon had eyes only for her. Something was bothering her, the village was small enough that everyone knew everyone. So... Who was the misterious young girl, if she came from the outside someone would have seen her come in. Fianna had to investigate, she was just too curious not to. She left the children under the care of the other caretakers and the older children.

Where would Sidon go? Fianna knew her husband well enough to guess, when he was outside of their home, he did mostly two things: train the Hunters and sometimes the new recruits as well or and she was sure it was this one, he would walk around the village looking as serious as he could so that the other villagers would think Sidon was patrolling or on an important First Hunter quest so no one would bother him.

Fianna found Sidon not long after she started searching for him, she found him and he was really with an unknown redhead, only... The clothes on the young girl really looked like Fianna's clothes and, the girl looked kinda familiar.

She was Little Wolf!

He was Little Wolf!

Fianna ran to them. "What are you two doing!?"

"H-hi mom, you said I was free to go outside, I-I did nothing wrong right?"

Asked Little Wolf a little worried.

"Why are you wearing my clothes?"

Asked Fianna.

"W-well I have a really good reason! While I was inside our house I was wearing only my old pants, they became short but are still confortable to wear. This morning you told me that I was finally free to go outside. But you taught me to not go around naked. I'm not a kid anymore so other people will be angry if I'm naked and they aren't."

Explained Little Wolf.

"That's not why they would be angry, you know?"

Sighed Fianna.

Little Wolf shrugged. "Oh right! You told me to not tell envious people they are envious."

Sidon laughed, Fianna face palmed.

"So why are you dressed in my clothes?"

"Well... my old clothes are short, dad's clothes are too big..."

"So you put mine?"

"Yeah! It was really smart thinking right?"

Little Wolf with his mother clothes and long hairs, his fisique could be really mistaken for a female one. His unique eyes were covered by bangs, the villagers were totally fooled by him.

"We were going to the caretakers longhouse to get some clothes, male clothes he could wear."

Said Sidon.

"So why were you two roaming around? You know that the village is talking about my husband betraying me with a younger redhead?"

Said Fianna with a smile on her face, the situation was kinda funny now that she was calmer and thought about it.

"What? Who spoke this nonsense?"

Said Sidon allarmed, he was getting ready to charge and punish any badmouther, his wife was sacred to him.

"Dad is going around with another woman? And with red hair too? No one inside the village has red hair but you mom! Who could spread rumors that are so obvious lies? Who could the young redhead be?"

Said Little Wolf.

"You."

Said Sidon and Fianna at the same time, smiling togheter in mirth.

"W-what? I am a man! I grew! I'm not even a kid now, I'm a man for sure, can't be a young woman if I'm a man!"

Dread filled Little Wolf's voice.

"Yeah, we know, we will let the village know too. Maybe tomorrow we can make a little festival of sort and gather all the villagers for dinner, so we can explain what happened today."

Little Wolf nodded enthusiastically, and moved the bangs that covered his eyes. When he was supressing his predator side his eyes lost the scarlet shine but most of the villagers found them unnerving so, from when he was little he started to cover then when he walked inside the village. But better unnerve the villagers and let them know he was a man than let them believe he was a woman.

"So... Why are you walking around the village instead of going to the caretakers and pick up the clothes?"

Asked Fianna

"Well... I was stuck at home for a looong time, kinda missed the sun and the village so... I was impatient and dragged dad around..."

"For hours?"

"I really missed the sun, the village, the smells... not all the smells."

"Well you made me leave the children to come and see what was going on, lets go and take those clothes then I can cook you something nice."

"Yeah!"

Said Little Wolf and Sidon at the same time, then they started rushing towards the caretakers longhouse.

Fianna smiled and walked behind them, she just loved her two men so much and seeing them have fun togheter was pure bliss to her.

"Remember, tomorrow dress with the new clothes and go around with your father from the morning, you two need to inform the village of the dinner we plan to make."

Said Fianna as they left the caretakers longhouse.

The next day the village woke up to a choir of howls and bleats, they came from a single direction: the mountains.
