First Draft Ch. 2 Names are a wonderful thing

It's been several hours since I spoke to my first Kitsune. I know she needs a name, but I'm terrible at naming. It's not like she's a pet that can just have a silly name like spot or rover, but she does need one... What to do? Wait! She's just been sitting there, and in that pose where she's sitting on her heels with her knees forward in the form of a young girl in a kimono. doesn't that posture hurt? I'm doing it again! Stop looking for distractions! She needs a name! Hm... 

Such where the thoughts of the young dungeon while for the Kitsune, she was just glad to have the honor of being her master's first monster.

After several more hours of failing to come up with a suitable name I noticed that a significant amount of the mana I had used in creating the first Kitsune has been restored. Apon thinking about it I realize I can check my own status! Alright lets see how things are looking for me!

Seeing this makes me realize that I'm not really that strong... well, for now I'm safe in this sealed room! Wait... how can the Kitsune breath... is it something about being a dungeon born creature? I likely can't stay here forever like this, who knows how bad it could be for me if I'm discovered while I'm this weak with practically no defences built if they find a way to reach me! Well then, Lets take the first ste... second step to making a true dungeon! Lets build a new room! The structure of the new room will be like this one, four equal sides in a square shape. The young Kitsune becomes very ecited by the new room and begins running to and fro. It seems I'll need more rooms soon, although I'd like to wait until I recover the rest of my mana, I lose a full 10 in creating that room.

I finally have a name! I only hope she likes it! "Alright I have finally decided!" She comes rushing and sits waiting for me to finish, "your name shall now be Yuna! Be sure to serve me well!"

First monster named, no cost bonus granted.

A very worrying message poped up. If a gem could sweat I'd be doing that right now. However the newly named Yuna looked at me with tears in her eyes. Did I give her a bad name?!? I hope not! How would I apoligize! However she soon bowed and gleefully shouted, "Thank you master! I will treasure the name you have bestowed apon me!" Well she seems very pleased at least. Next I have her help me plan out the design for the dungeon we shall have. The planed rooms are the Xs with the red X being the core room. 

  X X     X X X X   X  

In order to prevent any raiders of my dungeon from finding me, Yuna will be in charge of concealling the entrance with her illusionary powers while I create simple beast for the defence. Kitsune have great talent in creating illusions so only those that are strong against, or trained against illusions will even be aware of the illusionary wall, thus keeping us safe. If that fails, I'll be depending on Yuna's magical powers, with the plans set for the design, I create the next two rooms, nearly draining me completely. As I'm exhausted I decide that I'll wait until my mana fully refills before I create the last few rooms and the beasts to inhabit them. As I tell Yuna my current plans, she is once again in her human form, prepared to protect me from any danger. As a reward for this loyal defender, using a single point of mana, I create a plate of tofu with chopsticks and tell her that it's for her. She accepts quite quickly and has a trully pleased aura around her. shortly after she falls asleep though. Well, if any dangers do appear, I'll alert her so she'll be ready. Now to play the waiting game.
