”Young Master, there's something I'd like to tell you.”
It was the first time Rainer had seen Alisha so serious.
”Of course, Alisha, you can tell me anything!”
Rainer tried to look confident, it was the only thing he could do in this situation.
”...”
”Four years ago, when you rescued me from the bandits... I was not a native of Redil...”
”...!”
Then, after a feeling of dizziness, Rainer was able to see something that was not supposed to be there!
A tail and ears of an animal!
”Y-You're a beastmen!”
Rainer was really surprised, it was the first time he saw a beastmen in flesh and blood.
”Aren't beastmen supposed to live beyond the frontier?”
Rainer still couldn't believe what he saw.
”This is my real appearance, everything started...”
...
Twenty years ago in a Foxmen tribe.
”Magical beast assault!”
After the shout of an explorer, the families of the Foxmen tribe began the evacuation.
The tribe would only be alerted if the magical beast was higher than the third stage of cultivation, so this beast was clearly capable of annihilating their tribe.
”Warriors, gather at the entrance of the tribe!”
Shouted the chief of the Foxmen tribe, Fyr.
”Father, promise me that you will return safely!”
Cried the beautiful Fleur, the daughter of the chief of the tribe.
All the warriors swallowed saliva at the apparition of the goddess of the tribe,after all, Fleur was the most beautiful of all the women of the Foxmen tribe. Her beauty was such that even chiefs of great tribes had asked for her hand in marriage but she rejected them.
”Don't worry sweetie, we'll be back safely, you just evacuate with the others.”
After his wife's death, Fleur was the only family member that Fyr had, so he always cared about his safety.
”All right, we have to buy time for our families evacuation! Prepare to even give your own lives!”
The chief of the tribe proceeded to give his speech to increase the morale of the warriors.
”Oooowwwww!”
The warriors felt the blood boiling in their bodies, they had to defend this position even if it cost them their lives.
...
”It's impossible! We can't block it!
The warriors had fought for an hour against the magical beast and all they could do was hurt one of its eyes and its front legs.The beast had a frontal horn about the size of its head and the brightness of its tip showed how sharp it was, the blood that covered the horn revealed the numerous lives that the beast had claimed.
This was one of the most powerful beasts in this area, the Quake Rhino!
Its heavy weight produced earthquakes in the ground that destabilized its openents, the rhinoceros exploited the aftershocks to attack warriors and claim their lives.
Over time, half of the warriors had perished at the feet of the bloodthirsty beast, while the others trembled in its presence.
It was then, when all seemed lost, he appeared. A human and a beast both managed to deal a fatal blow to the Quake Rhino,obviously, with the price of the life of man's spiritual beast.
The gorgeous dark panther of the human being, who identified himself as Kalyn, perished in battle, producing a rebound in Kalyn that seemed to have aged several years at once.
After all, a spiritual beast is part of one's spirit, if it dies, you will be losing part of your spirit.
...
”Thank you for saving us young warrior...”
Fyr and his men bowed as a sign of gratitude, this human had not only saved them but had also made a great sacrifice for them.
Although one could restore his spiritual beast after its death, the process was so arduous and difficult that spiritual beasts were said to have just one life.
”It's not much but we'd like to have you stay in our tribe to treat your wounds.”
Offered the chief of the tribe.
”Of course, it will be a pleasure,” Responded Kalyn.
...
”I've brought the medicines my father asked for.”
A beautiful young lady brought the medicines to Kalyn's room.
”My name is Fleur, it's not much but....Thank you for saving my father and the tribe!
Fleur bowed to Kalyn showing her gratitude.
”It was nothing, my little Dala died but I'll handle it...”
Answered Kalyn as tears formed in his eyes.
This was the first contact between Alisha's parents.
...
Fleur, who had never left the tribe and its surroundings, visited Kalyn daily to talk about his travels.
After a year in the tribe, Kalyn and Fleur developed feelings for each other and consummated their love under the blessing of stars.
