BXBX NOVEL Chapter 11 Tama's Thanks
"Melia" I start dodging to the right to avoid her lunge at me, "How is the production of ash trees going"
Getting up as if nothing had happened Melia beamed at me, "Oh it's going great we have 12 adult ash trees up and several sprouting, It won't be long before the ashes coalesce into sla… Ah hem workers"
"That's good have someone come and inform me when our workers are ready"
…
Sensing a lull in the conversation Tama approaches me
"I have decided my Lord, I will choose the Illusion path of evolution."
"Ok, I'll start the evolution now, be sure to take note of what happens." I reply
Bringing up the evolution menu I select the Illusion path and the instant I do she is gone.
A moment later a screen pops up in the corner of my vision depicting Tama and several worms engaging in what seems like a game of tag.
Then not a moment later one of the Worms disappears and Tama is standing in front of me, Five tails wagging behind her.
She seems slightly emotional tears in the corner of her eyes as she starts
"Thank you my Lord, you've allowed me to grow beyond my potential, you have my greatest gratitude, I thought that I might have to just wait but now I… I was able to break through with my own power instead of just relying on time"
Finishing that she leaps at me like a puppy, dropping us both to the ground.
Her breath against my skin is hot and before I knew it she was peppering my face with little kisses, her golden hair in my eyes obstructing my vision.
She swept her long golden hair out of my eyes and I finally got a good look at her.
Her cheeks were flushed, her emerald eyes staring into mine with devotion, and a wide smile that contrasted with my image of her, A no nonsense stoic woman.
"No fair, I try to do that and he dodges me but you get to do it with no complaint from Darwin at all." I look over and Melia is staring at us with a pout.
As if broken out of her trance Tama blushes, picks me up not saying a word then turns around leaving all the while dragging me along.
While I was being carried I checked Tama's status.
[Species: Kitsune]
[Name: Tama]
[Tier/Level: 4/5(Can be evolved)]
[Skills: Solid Illusions*, Denial of Reality*]
[Solid Illusions: Tama has transcended normal Illusions allowing her to form tangible illusions that can do real damage.]
[Denial of Reality: Through tricking the world Tama can convince the world through illusions that her target never existed, erasing said target from existence.]
[The Kitsune are characterized by the number of tails one possesses with 9 being the utmost. A new tail is only gained after sufficient growth in either power or age. Usually 100 years for every tail is the general rule. After having gained their ninth tail the Kitsunes fur will turn white or golden color and ascend the heavens. Kitsune are known for their illusions powerful enough to be indistinguishable from reality and their ability to transform into humanoids. Other notable abilities are their ability to take on a ghost like form, possession of others, invisibility, and their control over lightning and fire. ]

Tama took me to the house where she set me down on the bed then composed herself.
"My lord, your talent… that evolution of yours it is…" She trails off taking a shaky breath before continuing "It is dangerous. It allowed me a newly evolved 4 tailed to grow a fifth with my own power, something that only the most exceptionally talented of our race could do. You must understand that for a Kitsune to grow a new tail they must wait a century before a new one will pop up and that's if one is talented but for you to help me gain a new tail in a matter of moments that… that is dangerous…"
"I know, I never expected a tier one talent to be anything but exceptional."
"Tier one!" Tama yells.
"Yes, is that so rare?" I ask.
"There has only been one tier 3 talent holder in the Kitsune race in the last 5 centuries as a whole, that's how rare a tier 3 talent is, let alone a tier 1 like you" Tama says uncharacteristically flustered.
"That's enlightening…" I start before I'm interrupted by a series of notifications
[Realm Announcement: The realm has been invaded by the Gaul civilization]
[Prepare to defend rewards will be given to the highest contributing Crowns]
[Along with defending there will be bonus rewards to Crowns that take out the outpost bases]
