Tales of the Molten Fox

“Like… this?” Rose asked, tapping on a new scroll I got her, causing the scroll to start making sounds that, funnily enough, make the Huntress jump.

“Yes, now that Scroll scanned your finger, it will now be used by you,” I explained. It’s been a few days since Mavis, Rose, and my trip to the spa and clothes shopping and now I wanted to give Rose a Scroll so she could talk to anyone without walking all over to find them, though that also meant showing her how to use one as she stated she has never actually used a scroll before.

It was… awkward at first but overtime of an hour or two Rose finally got the hang of it… sorta. Honestly, it wasn’t so bad doing this other than the time I went to get help from Mavis… and when I found her she was with Yang… naked… along with Yang... and uhh… yeah, that was awkward. The two were no doubt uhh… doing it but what made more awkward was that they somehow have hidden away in the courtyard. Besides the obvious awkwardness, I was taken back at how quiet they managed to be but enough about that, still trying to bleach that out.

“You okay?” Rose asked me. “You seemed to have shivered.”

“Huh? Oh, I’m fine.” I said with a laugh to cover my awkwardness which caused her to arch a brow at me before going back to the scroll. I let out a sigh that she didn’t push the subject more, I don’t want to remember that… again bleaching.

This went on before I saw Mavis coming over to us, a skip in her step and a huge smile on her face. Oh, gods that could only mean one thing…

"Hey girls~" She greeted us, stopping just in front of us and practically hopping in place. Rose arched a brow at this and spoke.

“What got you in such high spirits?” Rose asked, pushing something on the scroll which seemed to extend it into a tablet size, making her jump a bit.

"Oh I just came back from my date with Yang, oh it was wonderful." She said to her, floating off the ground as she was on cloud nine. Huh? She went on a date? Guess that explains the hurry she had this morning… also dirty mind! Dirty!

“Oh, that’s great,” Rose said before looking at the scroll. “How do I… undo this…” She muttered before pushing a button which caused the scroll to close up. This seemed to make Rose happy for figuring it out herself.

"Still with the scroll lessons?" Mavis asked us to which we nodded before she spoke. "Why don't you look at the tutorial that every scroll comes with?" She then asked us.

“I can figure it out!” Rose said with determination in her voice as I rolled my eyes and looked at Mavis.

“She wanted to figure it out on her own,” I informed her. She shrugged at this before floating above us for a moment or two before speaking.

"Anything interesting going on with you two? Anything exciting? Besides the scroll learning." She asked us, sounding bored already.

“Not really, no.” I said simply as Rose was still working on her scroll. This made her blow a raspberry out of boredom. This, in turn, caused Amber to bark out in annoyance as she laid on the floor not too far from me with Oni beside her, a very visible bump on her. “Sorry, Amber,” I said to her and it caused Amber to let out a snort as she laid on the ground before Oni snuggled up to Amber with a quiet hum.

"You two need some excitement," Mavis said to us simply, flipping over to face us. "Why not hunt some Grimm or train or get a mission from the mission board?" She asked us. Right as she said that there was a buzz from Rose’s scroll.

“I didn’t do that!” She said in shock and I saw she was getting a call from an unknown number. We all looked at one another before I reached over and answer it, showing an image of aunt Axycia.

“I hope I’m not interrupting anything.” She said to us.

"No, just bored~," Said Mavis in a complaining tone as she floated away for a second.

“She’s just bored, what’s up aunty?” I asked her with a small smile.

“Well, I just thought on calling you for something I need help with.” Axycia said which got Mavis attention. This got her to float back over, her interest immediately caught by this.

"And that is?" She asked while Rose kept quiet… That is until Auntie saw her and arched a brow.

“Rose, you mind if you let me talk to my two nieces please?” Aunty asked her which Rose frowned a little.

“But this is my scroll…” She said before looking at me and Mavis. “Fine…” She said with a sigh and headed off away from us.

“So… what were you going to say?” I asked my aunt.

“Oh simply go and scout around a world I found some time ago.” Aunty answered simply which surprised me. A world she found?!

"What for?" Mavis asked, this time sounding a little suspicious of Auntie when she said this.

“Let’s say I’m a little curious about this place, that’s all.” Auntie said with a shrug of her shoulders before adding. “And no, this time I really do mean it.” She was quick to add which made Mavis narrow her eyes.

"Fine, what about it is that got you so curious?" Mavis then asked. Auntie shrugged and simply answered with.

"Cause I'm curious about it." She said which made Mavis roll her eyes while I was left a little confused and excited.

"You mean that!? Wait, there are other worlds?!" I asked them both and looked at Mavis before the latter shushed me with a frown.

"Tell the whole school why don't you." She said to me, to which I blinked… oh right… secret. "And yeah, there are countless other worlds to explore, did you honestly think Remnant was mine and my sister's only creation?" She whispered to me.

"Oh… wow." I said in awe and heard Auntie chuckle.

"I guess the two of you are on board yes?" She asked the two of us.

"Sure. Beats doing nothing." Mavis said as she floated a bit away, though somehow she didn't sound excited. How can't she!? It's a whole new world to explore!

"Well then, you two get ready. A bullhead will come to pick you up and I'll send a message to the Headmaster about this. Toodaloo." With that the call was cut off. With that said I took the scroll and gave it back to Rose, who was busy reading a book on the Creatures of Grimm. After that me and Mavis went to our dorm, where we got dressed in our usual mission gear… though once again I still don't know how her outfit is combat efficient.

"I still don't see what your problem is and it's already been months now, why bring it back up again?" Mavis asked as she strapped her fan blade to her hip as I grabbed Molten Fox.

"What you're wearing doesn't count as clothing!" I exclaimed as I was outraged by this. Mavis rolled her eyes at this before saying.

"How about this, if ever I have a wardrobe malfunction in my combat gear I'll change my look." She said to me, floating off the ground as she said this. "But until then…" She said before whacking me in the back of the head. "Get used to it!" She yelled at me. I looked at her and made a face before the two of us headed off. As we walked I rubbed the back of my head… ow~. We soon arrived at the landing pads, where a Bullhead bearing the Mal Kun Company logo stood stationary there and waited for us.

The two of us climbed in and as we sat down the doors closed and the bullhead took off. The doors to the cockpit were closed so it was just the two of us. Mavis sat across from me with her arms crossed, looking annoyed though I hoped it wasn't towards me.

For about five whole minutes the silence was bugging me. "Hey… you okay?" I asked, seeing Mavis still annoyed about something.

"Honestly… I'd rather be hanging out with Yang… and you had a hand in my current mood." She said with a pout. My ears flattened on top of my head and shifted uncomfortably.

"Sorry…" I apologize to her. She soon sighed and said.

"It's fine… but you need to realize that you shouldn't judge what others wear. Not everyone is going to have the same sense of style." She said before wagging a finger at me and adding. "What if you were to stumble upon a town of nudists?" She asked me, practically scolding me at this point. I blinked at her before the thought of a town full of nudists came to mind… my face turned bright red at this thought. We felt the Bullhead lurch a bit, which kinda freaked me out a bit as memories of our time Yharnam made themselves known to me again while Mavis blew a bit of hair from her face. "Calm down, we're only breaching through the veil between worlds." She said and I reached for the window to see this myself. "If you do that don't be complaining about headaches." She warned me.

"Really? Can't be that- duhhhhhhh~" I droned on as all I saw outside was a mesh of colours, things, and everything in between. After a minute I pulled away. "I saw something and it stared back…" I said in shock.

"You've either stared too long or you managed to catch sight of the World eater." Mavis said nonchalantly, summoning a nail file to do her nails- wait back up a sec what!?

"World Eater, what?!" I asked/yelled at Mavis in shock.

"Well, I should clarify, World Eaters, as in more than one." She said to me, not giving me much go on with this. "It's in the name, they eat worlds. Worlds that have long since lived out their time." She added, her tone sounding as if this was a normal subject to speak of… it isn't. I didn’t want to, everything in my body didn’t want to but my curiosity won out and I took another look. I didn’t see much other than colours and… stuff, but I did see something large, chaotic and shapeless as it moved into the void… then a red dot turned towards me.

Everything was a blur but I soon found myself next to Mavis with my arms around her saying the words “It saw me, it saw me, it saw me, it saw me, oh lords it saw me~” I cried with tears down my face. It was worse than the monsters from Yharnam. Ten times worse.

"Oh calm down, you overreacting over something so dumb," Mavis said to me with an arched brow before adding. "They are incapable of hurting us and have no need to do so." She added, finishing up with her nails. "I should know, made them myself." She said as she gently blew at her nails. I frowned at this and pulled myself off of her.

“Right… don’t have to be rude about it…” I muttered the last bit but with a twitch of her ear meant she still heard me. She only smirked and snapped her fingers and in an instant a bowl of chocolate fudge ice cream appeared floating in front of me.

"How about now?" She asked me simply as I was handed the bowl of chocolaty goodness. I stared at it for a few moments before letting out a little pout of frustration as this did cheer me up… a bit.

“Thanks…” I said as I took a spoon full of ice cream and put it in my mouth… it was really good~! Mavis smiled and chuckled as I ate the ice cream as a child would eat theirs, the whole ride being ice cream and nothing but the ice cream… that is until I ran out but it just so happened to be when we landed… I think. My eye went to the window and an image flashed in my mind, one seeing one of those… things, staring back at me as I looked out of the window. And I don't want to do that.

"If it'll make you feel better, I'll get you a whole tub of that chocolate ice cream." Mavis said to me as she unbuckled herself from the seat and stood up.

"Do you really think Ice cream will fix everything for me?" I asked as I set the bowl down… okay maybe that wasn't the right choice of words for right now...

"Do you want the tub of ice cream or not?" Was all she asked with an arched brow at me. I frowned at her before unbuckling and standing up.

"No, I'm fine…" I said with a frown before adding. "And maybe you stop treating me like a child." This caused Mavis to arch a brow at me and frowning.

"Viri Mal Kun… did you honestly think I'd give that promised tub of ice cream for now? I meant to have in the dorm, not so you can get fat." She said to me, scolding me as she did. I blushed at the fact I misheard her about promise of the tub of ice cream… and for pointing out my weight. I tried to open my mouth to speak, to at least retort that she was still treating me as a child but then I saw her body change… to Grandma… I shrank down at her gaze as she frowned at me. "If you truly want me to stop treating you like the sweet little girl I've helped raise alongside her mother, then so be it." She said as she walked out of the Bullhead. I stood there shocked as I tried to figure out what happened before hanging my head and tried my damndest not to start crying.

After a few moments I walked out of the Bullhead and looked around to see… we were in a forest… but there was something very different than the Emerald Forest and any other forest I've been in… it's more colourful. And I mean… colourful, my eyes hurt from just how brightly green the trees were.

I shook my head and saw Grandma standing nearby looking around and I sighed, knowing that I messed up. I walked up to her to apologize. “G-Grandma… I’m sorry that I acted like that… I didn’t mean to be disrespectful or anything…” I apologized to her. Its then I heard a sniff from her and that's when it hurt me the most… but not as much as the bone crushing hug she trapped me in- Help!

"Oh I'm so sorry for being so mean and inconsiderate of your feelings." Was all I could hear as she kissed my head over and over, my spine!

“Ugh! It’s… fine… my back… ugh my back is broken…” I struggled to say as her bone crushing hug was… crushing. Before I knew it I was on the ground twitching a bit as I heard Grandma's tone… Shift.

"Now we can focus on our exploration!" She said in a cheery tone, her body changing back into Mavis. What? I looked up to watch her skip off into the forest without a care in the world as I wondered what the hell just happened… and try to stand up. Ow ow ow…

After getting to my feet and stretching a bit I headed on after Mavis, wondering where she went off to. Not understanding what the hell just happened nor wanting my bones shattering, I decided to move and explore on my own, hopefully Mavis can find me later.

The forest looked cheerful and pleasant than back home, again the trees were… very green, but there were very colourful flowers and the sky was very blue. I notice some animals and birds around and the latter were singing a happy song that made me feel like I stepped into a fairy tale story. As I was walking my ears twitched and I heard something nearby… it sounded like some sort of animal. I looked over and saw a bush was shaking a little as more yips were coming from it. Was the animal alright? Curiosity got the better of me again, and I went over to see. The yips sounded like that of a baby fox that was scared, which made the little animal lover me inside bawl up as I push the oddly cold bush out of the way before I was shocked to see the creature.

It was a baby fox alright, but what I didn’t expect was it had snow white fur and Grimm like mask with ice blue eyes. A Grimm Fox… that was also white. Those two things didn’t match up in my head as it was trembling in fear. That also didn’t match up.

“Hey hey… it’s okay…” I said softly as I got closer which caused it to shrink a bit and push away from me. “No no, I’m not here to hurt you…” I said to it as I kneeled down. I tried to be gentle and soft as I tried to coax it out of the bush, seeing it looking a little thin I reached back and pulled out… a cookie that Mama sent me every few months, this and a few dozen more after she learned Ruby’s addiction to cookies. “You hungry?” I asked the fox grimm which it saw the cookie and slowly crept closer to me and gave it a sniff. After a moment or two I felt it breath out, causing my fingers to go numb and having me drop the cookie to pull my hand back. I stared at my hand as my semblance kicked in and wamed my hand up, which was odd because it only did that if I was really cold. I looked back and saw the pup was eating the cookie, which now had… frost on it… a Grimm that can breath ice? Now this is interesting.

The Fox Grimm quickly finished the cookie and I pulled a few more out to lead it out of the bush. It took a while but finally I stood up with the babie Grimm Fox in my arms, eating more frosty cookies. “Ooo, you’re so adorable!” I cooed at the Grimm which looked up at me adorable. My smile turned to a sad frown. “But… where are your parents?” I asked and as if it understood me, it’s ears flattened and let out a sad whimper. “Oh… I’m sorry.” I said, trying to cheer the Fox up with a cookie. It nibbled on it, enjoying the treat before my ears twitched and I turned and saw Mavis using her scroll, texting as she walked. I stared at her for a few moments, seeing if something else would happen but nothing did. “Hey… you alright?” I asked her, getting her attention.

"Not really…" She answered before I noticed her looking a little green. "I've been watching this movie and well, ugh… Mortals have an odd sense of humor… disgusting." She added before tossing her scroll aside and adding. "Going to need a new scroll." She said, making it a note to herself.

“I’m… not going to ask.” I said as the baby Grimm now took notice of Mavis by wiggling a little bit to see her, which got Mavis’ attention.

"Daaw~ and who's this little cutie?" She asked, kneeling down to get a better look at it. The Fox Grimm looked at Mavis and sniffed the air a bit, almost like they were getting her scent. Mavis reached over to pet and when I was about to stop her, the little Grimm fox leaned its head into her hand.

“Guess you are good with animals…” I said softly to her as I thought of the many cookies I had to give just so the Grimm could come out of the bush.

"It's a perk of being me." Was all Mavis said of this before she gave the little fox plenty of love and affection. This made the Fox Grimm make some adorable sounds which I believed was them enjoying it. "Who's a little cutie? You are, girl, yes you are~" Mavis said to the fox before glancing up at me and gesturing with her eyes towards my side and when I turned to look, I saw a whole jar of cookies beside me. Not questioning why there’s a cookie jar beside me, I pulled it closer and pulled out a cookie to give to the Grimm as I explained the short interaction with the Fox Grimm. "That's so sad…" Mavis said… now in tears, okay what the hell is wrong with her? I didn't bother asking yet as this sadness got her to gently hug the fox grimm. "You poor little thing… so scared and alone." She cried out…. Hey wait a minute where the hell was that gentleness when I was getting my back snapped in two!?

Debating that my back was needed to be in two pieces aside, I looked down at the Grimm Fox who know wagging her tail as she was enjoying the hug. “What should we do?” I asked Mavis.

"I say we keep her, I couldn't bear leaving this little gal alone." Mavis said, peppering the little fox with kisses and I could see that she was enjoying this after who knows how long of being alone.

“I don’t see why not, she seemed to enjoy the attention.” I said with a laugh.

"Do you want to come with me? Does the little cutie want to come home with me?" Mavis asked the fox in a mushy tone, giving it kisses as well. The pup made a happy yipping sound which I took it as a yes and the two of us smiled at one another. "Oooh~ you're so cute~" Giggled Mavis before she began to float off the ground with the fox in her arms. I chuckled at the sight of this before standing up while holding the jar of cookies.

“Alright, so now what?” I asked out loud only to be met with more giggles as Mavis was still being mushy with the baby fox. “Right, hmmm…” I said to myself. My answer came with a loud booming sound like thunder. I saw the Fox Grimm’s hairs stand on end, tail poofy, before jumping off of Mavis and hiding in a bush. “Yeah I know the feeling…” I said as I felt my own tail go poofy as Mavis floated down to the bush. I was going to ask what’s up when a large shadow came over us. We both looked up to see what possible is the largest Nevermore I have ever seen, it was Twice the size of a normal on. The two of us stared at it as it flew overhead, flashes of light came off of it as it did as more thunder was heard. “The hells was that?!” I yelled in shock, trying to get a better look of the Large Grimm.

"You go look, I'll be over here." Mavis said before me up onto a branch where I began to quickly ascend the rooftop of leaves before popping my head out and seeing a large, yellow colored and sparking Nevermore fly over the forest while lightning crashed onto its body but instead of hurting it, it charged it…. Cooool~ It let out a screeching sound as it flew off towards some mountains, some of the lightning that was coursing through it shot down to the ground.

“First a Fox Grimm that breaths frost, and now a Nevermore shooting lightning.” I said to myself as I watched it fly off. As the Nevermore flew off and I watched it go, my ears twitched as I heard what sounded like distant shouts, angry ones at that and me being me, I got curious. I went down to the ground, on the other side of the tree, and headed off towards the shouting.

Doing so rewards me with a couple scrapes on my legs thanks to some thorny plants but when I saw the source of the shouting, oh boy did I do a double take. Bipedal pony people… yeah, not something I thought I'd ever be seeing or thinking. The two… pony people… were odd looking, one of them was a green colour with purple… hair? Mane? And had wings on his back, the other what white coloured and had an orange… mane, I think it’s mane, and as he turned his head I saw a horn. A walking Pegasus and Unicorn, I really stepped into a story book.

“Damn it, this one sure is slippery. Hope the owner pays us good.” And storybook feeling is done as I looked past them and saw a Faunus, panting and looking scraped up worse than ever. They looked scared from the looks of it. The Faunis had white skin which was thin looking, don't know if it was due to being malnourished or they were just really thin. They had what looks like shoulder length hair and bat ears on top of their head and their eyes were frayed over. The clothing they wore was ragged and torn looking.

They looked afraid for their life and did their best to keep quiet and be hidden. Were they… were they looking for that faunus?

"Celestia damn it, where did it go!" One of the Ponies yelled in frustration.

"How hard is it to find one stupid Faunus!" The other one yelled as he pushed back some bushes, this one being the Unicorn. "The owner better pay us double to find it."

"I know, and if we do find it, I think we deserved some payback. I got a lot of frustration to let out." The Pegasus said as he turned to his partner.

"Didn't think you swing that way mate." The Unicorn said which caused the Faunus to go a bit green from what they were implying… I don't blame them, I was getting sick at it too. Though in the faunus' horror, a twig snapped and alerted the two towards the faunus as the latter tried their best to move away unseen but ended up against a boulder before the two saw them. "Ha! There you are!!" The Unicorn yelled as his horn glowed green and the Faunus' body had the same glow as their body seemed to lock up.

"Gave us quite a hard time, but now we got you." The Pegasus growled at them.

"P-please… let me go~" The faunus said, their voice sounding feminine, so were they a she? The two bipedal ponies only chuckled at the words..

"You hear that? The bitch wants us to let it go." The Unicorn laughed as well as the Pegasus.

"Yeah, but after what you put us through, we are going to relieve ourselves of anger and frustration." The Pegasus said as the two got closer. They began to work their pants and- oh gods…

As quickly as I realized the situation, I felt a hand tap my shoulder before I looked over and saw Mavis and the little fox grimm. Mavis handed me a blow pipe and simply gestured at one of the two ponies before she counted down from three. When she hit zero, we both blew out a dart that struck the two and surprised them but before they could fully process what had occured, they fell onto the forest floor with their pants between their ankles, leaving the Faunus mortified.

"O-oh gods no…" She said in horror as she backed away from the two, hitting her back against a tree. The two of us walked over to the two and looked down at them.

"Ponies… they are Ponies...just… my poor childhood." I said to Mavis as the faunus looked ready to cry.

"Now is not the best time to lament your childhood." Mavis said to me with a frown before she made her way over to the faunus. I looked over and walked over as well.

"Hey, everything is alright now." I said to her as her eyes were darting around.

"Who's there? Please don't hurt me!" She yelled in panic, despite facing me full on… was she blind? That would explain the eyes. I looked over at Mavis for a moment then back at her.

"We're not going to hurt you, I promise. The ones that were are taking a dirt nap… and will have some broken bones soon." I said, imagining myself kicking the Ponies. My poor poor childhood~

"What my partner is trying to say is that you're now out of harm's way." Mavis said, frowning at me as she did before placing a hand on the faunus' shoulder. "Are you alright? Are you hurt in anyway?" She then asked, to which the woman held her arm a bit, a nasty cut on it before Mavis nodded and began to heal it with a wave of her hand, which surprised the faunus woman.

"T-thank you… thank you…" She said, holding onto her knees and letting loose some held back tears. Mavis and I waited for her to calm down while tying up the two shit heads. By the time the woman calmed down, Mavis spoke.

"I am guessing that you… you were slave. The rags, those ponies, all clues to your origins." She said to the woman which made her shake her head and cry out.

"Please… please don't take me back… I don't want to go back." She cried out before Mavis shook her head.

"We weren't planning too." Mavis said to the woman as she helped her up and added. "We'll be taking you to someplace safe. You need worry anymore." She said to the woman. The Faunus woman stared towards where Mavis was with red eyes as I gave her a smile.

"What's your name?" I asked her, getting the Faunus to look over at me.

"T-Tak… my name is Tak…" She said to me, which was… odd. Didn't sound like a girls name… is it a girls name?

“Nice to meet you, names Viri.” I said with a smile on my face before adding. “And the other woman is named Mavis. We’re… cousins.” I explained to her, which got a nod from Tak before we eventually arrived back at the Bullhead, the skies above getting dark just before entering. We let Tak sit down on one of the seats. While Tak kept to herself, Mavis took me out of the bullhead and began to whisper.

"Here the essentials, this world has faunus remarkably like Remnant but they aren't treated equally. They are treated as animals or property. Tak is a runaway slave and before you think about, Tak is a he. Trust me I know these things." She said to me, going off on a barrage of information. After a minute or two of processing everything I stared at Mavis with a look of disgust over how Faunus are treated and… well mostly that.

“What? How… that’s awful!” I said in a whisper which was kinda hard at the moment.

"Yes yes how awful but you cannot judge the way of life in this world… yet." She said and when I was about to rebuke her I stopped when I realized the last bit of her words. "Don't dwell it, let's just go home." She said to me before she took me back into the Bullhead, where the small fox and Tak waited in silence… which when I processed the other bit of information, Tak is guy!? Seriously? I can't… I don't know how to tell. Mavis went over and picked up the little fox and laid the fox atop her lap after sitting down.

As I sat down the doors to the Bullhead closed, scaring Tak from the sound alone and it soon took off, scaring her- Him, again. I put a hand on his shoulder and said.

“Don’t worry, we just took off… and that maybe weird to hear but we’re safe now.” I said to Tak with a soothing tone. He didn't say anything and simply hugged his knees, I guess he was still pretty shaken up. I don't blame her- Him! Fuck!

The ride was… quiet relatively speaking, we managed to go through the whole veil between world thing Mavis spoke of, luckily those things were nowhere near as it was quiet and the ride was fast, soon we touched down and me being me, I expected to be back in Beacon. When the doors opened however, I turned to see...my aunt walking on in.

“Well that was fast. I honestly expected you two to be gone for… well, a few days.” Auntie Axycia said before looking at all of us, mostly at Tak and the Fox Grimm.

"Change of plans like I said." Mavis said to her simply, getting a nod from Auntie. Tak has still yet to utter a single word or noise, the only thing letting me know that he was still alive even was his shaky breathing. Auntie looked over to her- him damn it, and then walked over to kneel down.

“Hello there, my name is Axycia Mal Kun. I heard your life was… difficult.” Auntie said in a tone that she was caring for the young Faunus. Tak kept up his silence but hugged his knees tighter but the silence was soon broken when Tak spoke.

"I don't want to go back…" Even with his words being but a whisper, everyone heard it clearly.

"I promise you, Tak. That is the last thing we'd ever think of doing." Mavis said before looking over to Axycia. "You know what to do, sister." She said to Axycia with a nod.

“I’ll get on that right away, no I already did that yesterday.” She said and I gave the two of them an odd look before Auntie turned back to Tak. “Tak, you must be exhausted. I think a bath, clean clothes, and good food is what you need right now.”

"A… a bath?" Tak asked just above a whisper as Axycia took his hand and while nervous, Tak followed auntie as she guided him off the bullhead. When they were off she looked back at us.

“Do enjoy rest of your day.” She said with a smile on her face before she took Tak off. I looked over at Mavis who was still petting the fox Grimm.

“So… what now?” I asked her as she looked up at me with a smile.

"We head home, and do try not to dwell on the world we went to. Now is not the time to do so, you have a test tomorrow." She said to me before snapping her fingers and bringing us back to our dorm room, where luckily Amaram and Umbra were out and about. The little Grimm seemed to be a little disoriented when noticing the quickly changing scenery. If it wasn’t for Mavis, she would’ve fell down. She did let a little whimper which got Mavis’ attention. "Oh~ I'm sorry cutie, I'll warn you the next time that happens." She said before making a cookie appear for it and the little grimm fox saw this after shaking her head from the disorientation.

“So… came up with a name for her?” I asked Mavis as I went to pull out some text books to do some last minute studying.

"Sylph! Cause it sounds super cute." Mavis answered, surprising me that she has already thought of a name and from the looks of it, the Fox Grimm like the name as well as her tail was wagging. The rest of the day, Mavis was cuddling and being mushy with Sylph as I studied.
