83 Nightmare (1/2)

While Three Suns waited on planet Har, my time in the South became quite relaxed thanks to Eleanor. That was until one day she just left telling me to stay here as I promised Hera, so here I am being treated like a prince by Hera as she tries to get ahead of the others.

As she shows me around the Clans territories I heard stories of how they removed those from the Lynx Clan within a single day, the Lynx Clan then brought out the remains of the 9 tailed fox. Hoping it would show they were sincere in wanting the marriage, the Elders of the Demon Fox Clan just laughed at their 'gift' before presenting a group of youths that now have 9 tails shocking the Lynx Clan.

The Elders were happy to show off my work, those girls were sent to my bed and quickly gained a rise in power. At first they only sent those from Malire's bloodline and 1 and 2 tailed female foxes to me, after each of those girls surpassed everyone from the main branch they quickly tried to get me to help the others without them becoming my woman. I told them that it is possible but why would I help their Clan rise up without gaining anything in return, so we agreed that any and all of the females that willingly choose to use me as a method to gain 9 tails was all I would get.

The condition they set to this was for every female I must aid a male member, so they are not to dependent on those who have gone over to my side. Hera arranged everything and even convinced a few she was on good terms with to become my wives, others wanted power, freedom or just something new. These were busy days for me, I have gotten too used to having an army do my bidding. Handling things myself with only one aid got easier as I added more and more to my harem.

I underestimated the Demon Foxes they said they did not want me to have to many under my control, but after a month women keep showing up. This girl here is Liasha who has been stuck at 8 tails for a thousand years, as well as one of their other princesses.

She is here today to give herself to me while I accept this beauty, she is number 10,713! Those foxes tricked me.

They will send as many women as they can into my bed this I now know, they have been searching for any girl with unique powers or bloodline powers that were too thin to bring out the girls power. This was done after they found out that a 1 tailed girl with an ancient but thin Demon Fox bloodline saw her bloodline power fully awaken, every Elder immediately went into a frenzy.

They searched every branch and main family female member that was suspected or had a bloodline that was becoming a rare sight, and sent those girls to a hungry beast. At this rate the Demon Fox Clan that is 70% female will wind up in my bed.

.....

News quickly spread that the Lynx Clan failed to gain Hera the 9 elemental tailed fox, the other news that spread was that powerful Demon Foxes were showing up all over the South. Many other powerful Clans came over to ask if the Clan found a ancient artifact that helps awaken the bloodline powers of beastkin, the Elders under Hera's orders gave them hints that a powerful being was able to strengthen the bloodlines of any beastkin.

Hearing that the Demon Fox Clan had the favor of such a powerful being they rushed over trying to pry information out of the Fox Clan. All this then sparked a few of the smarter Elders from those other clans to then put the leaked information together, they were sure the powerful being was the reason Hera was not married off. And they just needed to speak with her to find out were this expert was and the price for gaining his aid.

As many Clans visited the Palace I was in they were in awe at the endless number of beautiful 9 tailed female foxes that roamed about, the foxes treated the Palace as their rest station as they would only return when they were called or wanted. Everywhere else in the Demon Fox Clan territory was the same, just that it was mainly populated by the elderly, children, already married women and males.

”Has your Clan separated all the single females into that Palace so that expert can have a variety of choices?” Asked an Elderly looking man with a grey lion's mane. He was one of the Elders hoping to give his Clan all the aid it could before the coming war with the East, he wanted to see if this expert really could awaken any beastkin bloodline.

”Old friend would I lie to you? How long have I been stuck at this level of power 2.. 3 thousand years. Yet after I made a deal with that youth I broke though, I am sure you can do the same. He is easy to please.. well I say that only because we beastkin will gladly give our daughters to someone who could protect them someone with enough power to make any who wish them any harm would be met with death. This youths name is Dashnell he will be here soon to meet you Shadow.”

Walking down the halls of the Palace alongside Liasha and a few others I spot the meeting spot were the Clan's strongest Elder wanted to meet me. I knew he was helping someone meet me but who would have thought it was not his other daughters, out of all the elders who sent their daughters and sisters my way he always makes me give extra. He has 7 daughters and 11 sons, for his first 5 daughters I awakened all 11 of his son's dormant bloodlines, they were already powerful 2 even had 9 tails like their father.

But he wanted them to become stronger he also wanted them to meet someone far stronger than they ever imagined. This not only motivated them it allowed them to be at ease with their new brother in law.
