The First Lotus ~The Oasis~
Fury rises in me and I struggle to tamp it down because of course he didn't. That arrogant, short sided, pride-blinded man couldn't get his affairs completely in order. And so here I am, cleaning up his mess. Some things never change, I think bitterly. It would be laughable if it wasn't so irresponsible of him. I swear to find him and restore him just to kill him myself for such negligence. This shouldn't be my job. I hate him for making it so.
" Any suggestions? " I ask almost flippant, trying to curb what I'm sure will be more disappointment.

What a waste. What a waste of a beautiful woman. Even though it's a tragedy I have my own that's staring me right in the face. I don't dare look away.
I take one step then another back as she sits up. I focus on the eyes that aren't my sister's. Those eyes seem oblivious to me. It turns Flame's hands this way and that. Testing the movements. Then slowly It starts to lick the gore from Flame's fingers.
I fall to my knees staring blankly and only then does It seem to notice me.
The Fox Spirit tilts Its head and in a mixture of Flame's voice and something primordial It speaks. " Rise, King of Mine."
I shuffle back to my feet, in a daze, as It regards me unblinking. " You seem distraught. Little King."
I flinch, my teeth grinding.
The Fox Spirit tilts Its head the opposite direction. " That was meant to be a comfort. Not add distress."
" The only comfort I seek is my sister returned to me. "
"Did she not call me to save her?"
"You broke her body." I grind the words out between clinched teeth. Familiar anger rising.
"To make her stronger."
"You choke her spirit now. I cannot sense her."
" Ahh. That's your fault. She spends too much time thinking to control us because you wish her to repress her instincts when she should embrace us. Little King, do you know who I am?
I flinch a second time. "Of course. "
"No. I think not." It's smile fills me with cold dread. " But you will. "
