Southern Lands
Library 2nd floor
Kira laid on the floor, looking up at the ceiling, as she thought a bit. “I need a mage....” She said, boredly. She was so busy studying that she didn’t notice that her two guards wasn’t even there. The only one in the room with her was June, who was teaching her a few things about the demon realm.
June looked over from the table she sat at and smiled softly. “I know of a warlock you might like.” She said happily.
The princess sat up and smiled sweetly. “Really? Can I meet him?” She said hyperly.
The mage smiled sweetly. “Sure. I sent Kue to go get him a little while ago. So it’s be awhile.”
Kira’s smile faded as she sighed. She stood up and walked over to the table. “Well tell me more about the demon realm then.” She said, not very happy. She hated studying yet she knew that she needed to know of the realms that were linked to Elyasia.
June sighed softly and nodded. She moved a book in front of the princess. “Okay, I told you there are 4 lands, unlike owns. The north, west, east and south, right?”
The blonde princess nodded. “Yea. Raizen is lord of the north since he is the strongest there.”
The mage nodded. “Yes and Sin lives with him, training the demons with him. It seems that the lord is the only one who isn’t scared of our fire mage.”
Kira giggled softly. “Sin is scarely but interesting.”
“Indeed. So who’s the lord of the west?”
“Oh the dog lord... uhm he is named...” She thought. “InuTaishou...I think.”
June nodded. “Right. And who’s his son?”
“Oh Sesshoumaru. Akito told me stories of him.”
“Right. Now the East.”
Kira thought a bit. “South has a fox lord... west has....”
“It’s being ruled by a cat demon called, Mikya. She is really mean about who enters her lands.” A voice said.
Kira turned and smiled softly. “Hi Raiko.”
Raiko smiled softly as he walked over to the princess and mage. He was a nine-tail fox demon who was allies with Kira. He had long silver hair that faded into black ends, his ears were silver with black tips. He hid his nine tails yet Kira knew of his pretty tails that were silver fading into black just like his hair. He was dressed in black robes similar a kimono. “Hello my dear princess. So what are we studying today?”
June smiled softly as she looked at him. “We are studying the Demon realm since we know little of the Shadow realm and Spirit realm.”
“And the human realm is just boring since they are have a war.” The princess said with a sigh.
The fox nodded and smiled. “I see. I can help with studying, just ask.”
The mage giggled softly. “That’s true, a demon would know more about their own realm.”
Kira thought a bit. “Tell me about the East, since I don’t think we know much of this new lord.”
He thought a bit. “Well from what I learned, Mikya only came of power in the last year. Her father was the lord before her. Even though that, she is really strong that no demon will step up to her. They say that she’s a black cat with two tails.” He told the girls.
The princess gasped softly. “A kitty with two tails... can that even happen?”
June nodded. “Yes. It’s rare but any demon can have more then one tail. Not only Foxes.”
Raiko nodded. “She’s right. Foxes are known for their tails. Born with nine is rare since normal foxes get more tails as their power grows. Other demons who have tails, are able to have more then one but it’s really rare on cats and dog demons.”
“But it’s not unheard of.”
Kira looked the two of them and smiled softly. “You two know a lot about this.”
The fox laughed softly. “Well I’m a fox, so I should.”
The mage smiled. “And I just study a lot about the demons.”
The fox looked at her and blinked. “You’re not telling her, are you?” He whispered to her. He was talking about June being half fox.
She smiled and shook her head. “Nope.”
Raiko sighed then turned to Kira. “So what do you know of the South?”
Kira thought a bit. “South is ruled by a nine tailed fox named...Lady Nyra?”
He nodded. “Right. But do you know anything about her?”
She looked over at June who shrugged. She thought a bit. “She came to power....a few months ago...?”
He sighed softly. “Akito didn’t say anything, I see. Alright, here’s what I know... Nyra is a black nine-tails fox who came to power last month after her mother passed. This fox lady loves her games.....” He got quiet as he began to remember things.
The princess watched him a bit then looked over at her mage. “Is he sleeping with the lady fox?”
June looked at him then sighed. “Seems like it. Let’s leave him and go downstairs. Kue should be back now.”
Kira nodded and stopped up. She ran out of library with June behind her. They walked downstairs to see Kue with a green haired male.
Kira ran up and hugged Kue with a sweet smile, which the hug its self made him flinched. “Welcome back Kue.” She said happily.
Kue glared at her then over at June. “What the fuck is up with the princess?” He asked, growling lightly. He removed her arms and went over to the mage.
June smiled happily at him. “You saved her from boredom and studying.”
He looked at her, sending her an odd look. “That’s all?”
She nodded. “That and Raiko is here.”
“I thought she loves that old fox.”
“Oh she does but he was helping with her demon studies.”
He sighed. “I get it now.” He looked over to see Kira talking with the young looking male. “Kira.”
Kira looked over and smiled. “Yes, Kue?”
“That is Anaru. He’s a blood mage.”
She blinked and looked at Anaru. “What’s a blood mage?”
Anaru smiled softly. “I’m a mage from the Shadow Realm. I’m called a blood mage since my spells use my own blood.” Anaru had short green hair and bright red eyes that looked pink. There were odd marks under his left eyes which he told her earlier that it was face paint.
The princess gasped softly. “Your own blood, really?”
He nodded. “Yes.”
“Does it hurt?”
“Nope. I heal really fast and I don’t use a lot of blood. So all is good.”
She smiled softly. “If you’re from the Shadow land, can you tell me about it?”
He looked over at June then shook his head. “Sorry but no can do. My King wouldn’t like it if I told.”
Kira pouted softly. “But it’s the only realm I don’t know about....”
He thought a bit then reached over and pressed a finger against her lips. “Princess, I’ll tell you everything I know, one day, but at this point, no can do.”
She blinked a bit then blushed, nodding slowly. “Okay...”
And from that moment, she had her third guard. When Akito found it, he bitched and growled a lot which Kira kissed him to calm him down which it oddly did. After that, he seemed to be okay with it, but he kissed her a lot more then normal.
