Three Hidden Knights and a wily fox

my lady Nike called out to the fox cave as soon returned from his trip down the mountain

Queen Tamra i have important news he yelled anxiously rushing inside the footfalls of his boots echoed in the silent caves

what is it? she yelled back from the kitchen he headed down the tunnel that opened up to the smaller cave they used as the kitchen

i have important news that could explain why all the demons in the mountain suddenly retreated and have gone into hiding he cried

she was preparing the evening meal for them both and she sighed what is Nike thinking?

the young cub was once again making a fuss over nothing

the witch is dead he yelled

what she cried in disbelief stepping away from the kitchen

wiping her hands in her apron she put her hands on her hips in annoyance at this young lad

here! he cried shoving a tablet in her hand it was showing the News broad casted from the celestial network

the black witch had attacked the west but had gotten killed on her way back by the eastern celestial clans

what? she cried shocked quickly leaving the kitchen she went to sit in the outer cave as she watched

the entire broadcast carefully and then the following battle footage that had been captured

her eyes widened in shock at the footage of the second battle report

four female foxes accompanied by the black wolf prince had encountered the witch

by accident after fleeing the west to seek sanctuary in wolf city after the witch's asecond curse attack

ttack in the western territory's

the witch was being chased

by the prince of tiger clan after instigating a battle with him and his mate who were training in seclusion

in the countryside hills of Korea she was heavily injured

by the tiger prince and his mate and fled the battle she had flown off course seeking a place to hide

and possibly treat her wounds

crossing paths with the foxes on their way to sanctuary

she summoned a demonic beast to attack them and then fled the scene

the four female foxes and the wolf prince then fought and defeated the demon

a scorpion king demon beast well over a thousand years old and at full power

however the celestial abilities and fighting prowess of the four foxes and

the wolf prince fighting together was able to take it down

she started crying as she watched the ensuing battle her fingers brushing lovingly over the captured footage

of her four daughters they had survived in the west and grown up so well

and they were so strong and beautiful she was amazed at how well they had

developed especially her eldest she was an elemental fire fox as the footage

continued she was stunned by the scene of her eldest and the wolf prince

and their syncronised elemental abilities it was vividly apparent

for all to see that they were true mates her eldest was mates with the prince of

wolf clan she smiled how fortunate she was even more proud of her than before

look at how well you have raised your sisters my dear she breathed marveling equally at the twins and youngest in turn

my goodness she chuckled at her red haired cub you are the epitome of your father

she breathed lovingly you even inherited his fox mage ability to control plants with a little more cultivation

you will be able to control the entire woodland my dear

finally the report continued to the revelation of a newly awakened primordial celestial

who appeared at the last minute to slay the fleeing witch the last survivor of the celestial gate keepers

two thousand years ago when the witch had attacked the gates of the heavens

at some point during the battle to defend the heavens gates he been sealed while the rest of the

gatekeepers had been wiped out by the witch it is unknown whether or not it was a last

ditch attempt by the gods to save at least one heavens gate keeper before the witch cast her seal on the heavens

however this surviving primordial celestial was awakened and unsealed just a few hours before the battle

by his true mate who came into physical

contact with his sealed form hidden in an ancient temple in japan for last two thousand years

it is speculated by elders that the mates soul call was probably the only thing strong enough

to rouse the spirit of such a powerful primordial into awakening and unsealing him in time to be

present when the witch was exposed to put a final end to the black witch once and for all

it is speculated by elders that it is all a plan finally brought to fruition by the gods themselves

the primordial celestial not only killed the witch but he sealed and completely destroyed

her soul by summoning the Gate of the Hell Void which claimed the witch's sealed soul

the black witch is permanently dead and cannot in any shape or form return to the world of the living

she watched the following battle footage with greed for confirmation seeing it with her own eyes

it was indeed an amazing battle and victory

for all the celestial the witch was dead finally she released a scream of utter

joy that echoed through out the passages of her mountain den

Nike covered his ears at her yowling

my queen he cried shall we prepare to leave for wolf city? he asked

immediately she yelled we must get there to see my eldest wed

to the prince of wolf clan we must not miss it pack up immediately

he grinned yes my queen finally they could flee their

cave without fear the witch was dead he began to scamper about the cave in a hurry

time suddenly ground to a halt and the little old lady suddenly appeared to him

old lady its good to see you but i don't have time to cook you a meal today he said i'm very sorry

i didn't come to ask you for a meal she said gazing at him with wizened brown eyes do

you recall what i told you about your destiny boy?

yes he nodded is it time? he asked

it lies in wolf city she told him the youngest daughter she is powerful mage just like you

he had watched the footage earlier of the girl he had been moved by her

he had not been able to take his eyes of her the entire battle she exuded beauty and endless charm

its her he breathed in shock the queen might have my head

she smiled the queen will do nothing of the sort she said

do you remember what i told you of the chosen warriors she asked

of course he replied well you are one of the chosen, five foxes

one wolf two tigers the raven the maiden and the twin dragons to complete

the set are the chosen ones who will set the gods free and restore the heavens thus is the prophesy

prepare yourself my boy for a great mission will soon be upon you good luck

she vanished and time returned to normal Nike hurriedly continued to pack up.

Zehan swept down to the patio of his twin brothers residence his boots landing with a solid thump on the tiled floor as he touched

down

he walked with hurried steps that echoed announcing his arrival to his twin brothers home as the feathers of his blue wings

fluttered in the wind at his back folded against his shoulders

brother i come bearing news!

he called to him he entered the hall his brother lounged on his chaise next to a low table

he looked up from the chessboard in front of him with a questioning look in his sharp red eyes

his long black hair falling like silk down his lithe body as he wore nothing more than a pair of boxer shorts

when he was home

what has happened? Zyler asked causally in a bored tone

this!

zehan said sweeping away the chest board with magic and replacing it with his own Worlds Mirror

zyler watched the events his eyes widening in disbelief he sat up folding his legs under him as he picked up the mirror

reviewing the events with focused eyes

they have finally done it he breathed why didn't you summon me?

if this was about happen we could have caught a piece of that action! he demanded

it was not ours to have! Zehan said but there is a greater victory awaiting us that will

make our uncle have no choice but to acknowledge us

what is it? he asked

a mission zehan said he tapped the mirror i received this message from the gods not too long ago

he watched the message as the old woman in the peach dress appeared and a smile spread slowly over his handsome face showing his sharpened fangs as he listened to the details of what she had to say

we prepare to leave for wolf city immediately he said we will get our reward,

the gods themselves will hand them to us in glory

and that old serpent will be between a rock and hard place we will become the rightful

kings of dragon clan brother you and i will drag that old bastard off the throne and take our place there

the two brothers gazed at each other with identical gazes in their blue and red eyes

the sharpness and ferocity of their intentions were clear

the pair rose from the chaise and zyler roared for the servants to bring him his clothing

we have to pack to provide support for the team the gods have chosen for this mission

zehan said scrolling through zyler's tablet checking out the profile information of their new team members

while he got dressed

they are all quite strong but their foundation bases are lacking zyler agreed

but in order for this mission to be successful they will need foundations

most of all i am guessing that is where we will be able to display our strengths

our mastery and control of qi energy to support

our teammates will play a vital role in this mission without us they cannot traverse the lower spiritual realms

fully dressed his brother summoned his armory throwing open the doors he choose the weapons he wanted

tossing a pair of dragon bone scimitar blades to his twin in their scabbard he caught them

and attached the swords to the leather belt around his waist

he next summoned his medicine chest throwing it open a taking out two magical sacks

stored inside these sacks were all kinds of medicinal pills that zehan had cultivated and zyler had stored for safe keeping

he tossed one of the sacks to him while attaching the other to his own belt next to his sword

with a wave of zyler's hand the armory and medicine chest vanished and the pair quickly left the hall

brother lets fly zyler said zehan agreed with a nod spread his wings and the pair took flight

one pair of blue wings and one pair of red wings swept over the skies above the residence

with a sonic boom they cleared the clouds and a portal into the outer world opened

the pair flew through the portal and vanished the portal closing behind them

a moment later a fat old man came in extravagant robes and bald head came storming with a waddle

into the silent hall where the hell are those brats he roared at the top of the lungs

Zyler, Zehan he roared their names but got no answer

a servant scurried towards him my lord you just missed them the servant reported they left just moments ago

left for where he yelled angrily getting red in the face

i am uncertain my lord the servant answered bowing low

there was mention of a mission given from the gods with other celestials Zehan brought the message to zyler

the black witch has been vanquished they got ready and left immediately my lord

the fat man was ready to explode with anger his face turning from red to purple

those two trouble-making brats he roared his voice echoing in the hall and shaking everything up

he felt fear in his heart not for the first time since assuming the throne his brothers

twin sons the rightful heirs to the dragon throne had been steadily and quietly rising in power

with every accomplishment their reputations and deeds set tongues wagging within the clan

it wouldn't be long before they ousted their uncle and took the throne

was the rumor going around of late it was only a matter of

time their supporters were gathering but what was this now?

they had received a mission from the gods the black witch was dead?

the one who should have been summoned by the gods for

such an important mission should have been him he was the king of dragons

were the gods choosing sides now that their return was imminent were they giving those brats favor?

what are the details you must have heard something he growled at the servant fiercely

sir i don't anything further than that you know how those two are able to communicate with each other

without saying much the servant quaked

the fat king roared in anger and stormed from the hall the servant sighed in relief .
