I would have posted this chapter sooner but it seems like my fellow writers had a burst of inspiration....either that or they saw a bunch of people posting a lot of chapters and decided to get off their lazy ass...Ehem without further ado

Aria had gotten ready wearing a rather basic light armor several hidden daggers are concealed on her person. Aria also had a short Sword and a heavy metal gauntlet that was used for blocking. The gauntlet was equipped with Three metal claws only about 6 inches long but deathly sharp.

Aria could not help but love Sepheroth. He constantly looked out for her. Would do anything for her. Well that was most people actually. The real reason Aria liked Sepheroth is when they were kids he was the only one that talked to her. See back then Aria was considered very ugly to say the least. Sepheroth had told her he liked her all the way back then. He said to him looks didn't matter he had called Aria a beautiful person. He gave her a mistreated slave who is only 15% Kitsu everything. Her confidence, her smile, her love, her trust.

Currently her transformation should be happening in a month. Aria could not help but worry. If her transformation was something hideous even with Sepheroths kindness and gental nature there is always a limit. Even the sweetest man will have a point where they can not get past the physical. And Aria is afraid. In order to transform a member of the Kitsu Clan needs at least 25% Kitsu blood For a stable transformation. And they won't transform if they have less then 10% in their blood. Her transformation will be unstable to say the least to put it more bluntly its going to be extremely painful. Even the pure bloods scream in pain during the transformation. At around 50% the pain is to the point where you pass out. Sepheroth went through this at 25% for the first 5 hours Aria had heard its like being tortured with smolder knife cutting your flesh muscle by muscle but then during the following 4 hours its like floating on a relaxing cloud. That relaxing cloud feeling is the only reason 25% is considered stable because once you go below 25% people tend to lose their minds. Once you go to 11-13% has very minor changes and the changes happen over the course of a month so it was like teeth growing. But her she had to get the absolute worst of the lot. 15% was the exact percentage known to kill people. Sepheroth did not know she was a 15% Kitsu blood. It was the only lie she ever told him. She said she was a 14% . 14% was the most painful but it was relatevily quick like a werewolf under the full moon. Lasted only 30 minutes. 15% lasted on average 5 hours.

Aria could see the caravan pulling up. Sepheroth had gone to meet them with elder. You could see an exchange of money. The big muscular Cat man waved his hand over to one of the other muscular cat man. The Elder was obviously nervous you could literally see it like a fog coming out of his body it was bad the Cause was starting to get nervous.

Only 3 slaves are actually bought. In reality here in the Kitsu Clan kingdom we treat them as serfs. Everyone just calls them slaves though. Not really a real reason we could call them serfs but it just never really stuck.

The rest of the slaves would be sold throughout the kingdom. The three slaves are all female. Currently our female population is on the lower side. In the youngest generation of children their is a high amount of females however the population will still end up unbalanced. The Serfs for better word are aloud to choose their husbands. In other words what's really going to happen is a bunch of single men are gonna ask for the women's hand in marriage. The Kitsu Clan is Known for their ridiculous way of asking for marriage. In other words we are waiting for the comedy to begin.

The slaver stocked up on bread dried meat and and hey for the Rhichcross. It looks sort of like a Rhino except its covered in scales has a long tail and is an omnivore. Meaning it will eat meat if it can.

Shortly after the caravan continued their journey. Guess its true they never stay in one place too long.

Its getting late now with all this business so Aria decided to return home.

________________________________________

After the Caravan left the gates to the village were closed. Then a gaurd was put in place 25 guards to be exact. Sepheroth had made sure this happened after they had left the Elder had said every single one of them are tiger clan. That didn't really worry me they themselves didn't seam to be aware of it. In fact they seemed kinda well... slow.

Then it began just like Eldar predicted the thing was this was no raid. It was a Fcking invasion. At least 10'000 strong. Our force consisted of maybe 300 soldiers none of them are very well experienced in battle. We only have Around 20 magic users. Kitsu Clan isn't really known for their magic abilities.

It the ancient past the Kitsu Clan used to be known as the fox people but as new Varients were born and old ones died out they ceased looking like foxes even among the pure breads their is only 6 known fox Kitsu. Often called the immortal 6.these 6 have amazing magic capabilities

' if only one was here right now,' Sepheroth thought

This army screened their war cries as they charged the walls that's when they realized a second thing this wasn't tiger Clan it was Moon Tribe. Savage wolves that had been waring with The Kitsu for over 3000 years. To have gathered such a force was nearly impossible. The largest band ever recorded was 300. This is an outrageous amount.

Sepheroth then came to a decision. One that was a now or never. He abandoned the gaurd of the wall and quickly told everyone to flee. Then he reached Arias house. He barged inside Aria was in the middle of a nap it seemed curled up like a cat this rather cute image didn't really fit the atmosphere.

Sepheroth shook Aria awake" WE NEED TO LEAVE NOW BRING SOME FOOD A WATER SKIN AND SOME SPARE CLOTHES WE ARE BEING INVADED BY THE MOON TRIBE."

Someone shook Aria awake violently. It was Sepheroth he had a serious look and quickly told me to grab my necessities.

" How many?" Was all she asked.

"10,000 strong we are retreating to the capital. The soldiers are going to hold them off until the civilians

Evacuate. Once at the capital holding off 10,000 moon tribe should be easy for now defending the village is a lost cause if you have your water skin let's go," Sepheroth answered in a very frantic voice.

As soon as they stepped outside Sepheroth grabbed Aria by the waist and took flight. His wings are not really used to this much weight or to be more accurate his mana supply was not big enough nor efficient enough to get them more than a fee miles.

Aria saw several Arrows fly past them through the air. The Village was obviously on fire.

After they descended on a hill. They could clearly see the Carnage as Death Dance its dance of Death.

It made Aria hurl and Sepheroth grimaced as he pulled out three arrows in his back they are already healing.

It seemed they weren't the only ones to escape at least half the village managed we formed a group that quickly went to the capital. You either kept up with the main group or you are left behind. Sepheroth chose isolation from the main group. When dealing with the Moon Tribe the best way of dealing with them is either speed or isolation and ultimately guerrilla warfare was the best if once again you are good enough.

With this Aria and Sepheroth set out towards the capital.
