Hehe, thanks guys :-[
And I finished Chapter 12 W00T. I was in a roll (And bored xD)
Let's see what happens on...
Chapter Twelve: The Mysterious Lake Of Eternal Mist!
Foxx followed the tiger through a small dirt path. He looked in the horizon. The sun was almost setting. Foxx grinned slightly, his eyes back to their normal colors.
We’re almost there… he thought. He was still unsure that he made the right choice, but every time he remembered Wolf, his doubts disappeared.
==========~~~~~~~~~~==========
Wolf, Keith and Comet looked around as they got out of the forest.
"What now?" Wolf’s voice was heard from under his hood "There are two ways they could’ve gone."
"Relax. I know what to do." Keith declared and, with that, he lifted his paw, the palm facing the blue sky "Guide me." He said "Tell me what way Foxx took." He continued. A small arrow made of a soft yellow aura appeared on the palm of his paw, pointing at the path on their left "He went that way." Keith stated.
"Let’s go then?" Comet asked. Wolf and Keith nodded and they restarted running.
Some time later, they found a young, two tailed kitsune. The kitsune looked at them and hesitated at the sight of the three hooded furs.
"I’m sorry, but have you seen a young fox with bright orange and white fur passing by, along with some soldiers that serve the king?" Keith asked.
The kitsune looked at them, clearly relieved.
"Yes, I did." He told "They walked by me about thirty minutes ago." He informed.
Keith nodded slightly.
"Thank you. And I apologize for the inconvenience." He said, then turned to Wolf and Comet "Ok, let’s go."
The kitsune nodded.
"It’s ok. Just, be careful… that tiger looked dangerous…"
"Yes, we know. Thank you again for your help." Keith said. He started walking away with Comet and Wolf behind him.
Good luck. The kitsune thought, walking in the opposite direction.
==========~~~~~~~~~~==========
Foxx and the soldiers reached a small lake, barely visible because of the thick mist.
"Where… are we…?" he asked, looking around. The sun was barely visible now.
"We’re almost there. Just a little more." The tiger replied. Somehow, he could find his way through the thick mist, something that surprised Foxx. The fox simply followed him. He had a slight feeling that something would happen before they made it to the castle, but he shrugged that thought away.
==========~~~~~~~~~~==========
Wolfgang, Comet and Keith arrived at the lake some time later, panting slightly. Comet uncovered his head and looked at the mist.
"Wow… this mist is… so thick…" he stated, trying to recognize something further away into the mist.
Keith lowered his hood too.
"Yes… this lake is known as the Lake of Eternal Mist… It didn’t use to be like this though." He spoke.
"What do you mean?" Wolf asked as he, too, took his hood.
"This lake didn’t have this mist around it. It happened some years ago and it took only one night to become like this. And a lot of furs already tried to explore it, but they didn’t return. They fall in the lake and drown or are killed by wild animals… or worse…" he finished. Wolf gulped and looked at the thick mist.
"Well, we have to go anyway." He said "I won’t give up on him that easily!"
Keith chuckled.
"I know, I won’t give up on him either." He assured, looking then at Comet "Will you help us?" he asked.
Comet nodded.
"Sure. You helped me, after all."
"Ok, then let’s go." Wolf said, and the three furs walked into the mist.
==========~~~~~~~~~~==========
Foxx stopped suddenly after a while. The tiger turned to him.
"What?" he asked.
Foxx looked around.
"How did they get here so fast…?" he asked himself, his eyes getting darker.
"What? Who got here?" the tiger asked.
Foxx put a finger in front of his lips and motioned the soldiers to come close.
"How far are we?" he asked, looking at the tiger.
"Uh… five or so minutes." The tiger replied, confused "But who…?"
"Ok, then, let’s do something. You guys know how to get to the castle?" he asked, looking around at the soldiers. The soldiers nodded "Ok, then go. You and me will stall them, then we can run to the castle." He continued, facing again the tiger "Now go!" he ordered. The soldiers nodded and walked quickly through the mist. The tiger looked at Foxx.
"So… what are we going to do?" he asked.
"We’re going to set a trap. Then we can go to the castle." He started.
==========~~~~~~~~~~==========
"Uhh… Keith… You do know where you’re going, right?" Wolf asked.
"Well, no… But that we are going where Foxx is, that is certain." Keith replied, looking at the palm of his paw, where the yellow aura arrow was.
Wolf looked at Comet and sighed. Sometime later, they reached a small area with water.
Foxx grinned slightly from behind a small bush. He waited a bit and closed his paw, muttering some words. The water started to rise and suddenly Wolf, Keith and Comet found themselves trapped in a ball of water unable to breathe. Foxx slowly showed himself and grinned, followed by the tiger.
"So… you thought you could follow us without noticing…"
Wolf looked at Foxx and tried to move. Foxx chuckled and got closer to the water prison.
"It’s no use Wolfy… you won’t get out of there unless I want to. And you better not waste your breath." He advised, then looked at the tiger "Ok, they won’t be going anywhere, let’s hurry." He ordered.
"Ok." The tiger replied, grinning "This way." He said and started running the way the soldiers had gone. Foxx quickly followed him.
Wolf, Keith and Comet watched as they ran again into the mist. Some time later they started running out of air. They tried everything to get out, but it was useless. Their eyesight started blurring and, some seconds later, the three of them fainted.
==========~~~~~~~~~~==========
"We’re here." The tiger announced. Foxx looked around.
"We are?" he asked, then he noticed a large and tall shadow in the mist "Wow…" was the only thing he could say. Then he remembered. He made a fluid movement with his paw and grinned slightly "Now they’re free. And alive." He explained. The tiger understood and nodded.
"Ok, then, let’s go, the king is waiting." He said and walked towards the shadow. Foxx followed him. Some minutes later, the shadow slowly disappeared, along with the mist, leaving a big mark on the ground.
Ohhhh, Hope you guys like it xP
