A FOX'S JOURNEY: A NEW HOME
CHAPTER ONE
A baby nine-tailed fox was just born and laying next to his mother as she curled one of her tails around him, "Shimmer, look at our child," said the female fox a black and white dapple furred fox with emerald green eyes, to her mate as he an adult nine-tailed fox who had a brown mocha fur color that lightened on his muzzle, paws, belly, and tail tips and saphire blue eyes, walked in the den smiling down at them seeing his new born son a beautiful silver fox with a black stripe running down from the tip of his muzzle to the black tips of his tails along his spine, "what do you want to name him shela" asked the fox called Shimmer nuzzling his son as he suckled milk from his mother, "his name will be Fissure" Shela said smiling as she fell a sleep from exustion as Shimmer curled around her and Fissure lovingly smiling as his son snuggled next to his father's muzzle making him smile, "I love you my son always" he said falling asleep happily.
TWO YEARS LATER
As dawn came to the small clearing a family of Nine-Tailed foxes as silver two year old kit (baby fox) ran in to his parents sleeping quaters in his family's den, jumping onto a mocha brown fox making him exhale an oof, "dad dad time to get up your supposed to teach me my element release today" the young fox said exitedily making the female black and white dapple next to them smile without opening her eyes, "might as well get up honey he's not one to wait" she said cracking one eye open at her mate, "okay I'm up I'm up" said Shimmer as he pushed his son off and stretched his back out yawning as he did so and followed his energetic son out the den and into the clearing to be greeted by his two twin brothers and his older sister along with their sons and daughters who just started a family of their own in the family rearing grounds, "okay son now I said I would teach you how bring out your element release but not to use it" Shimmer said as they headed to the edge of the clearing, "aww why can't I learn to use my release yet dad?" Fissure asked with a whine and a bummed look. Chuckling at his son's antics Shimmer just smiled, "because son your body is still too young to be able properly produce the magic of your born elemental release" He said and laughed at Fissure's pouting face, "cheer up son when we get back to the tribe you will be strong enough to learn how to use your release with the rest of the kits and you'll be learning from the two strongest foxes in the tribe," Shimmer stated proudly puffing out his chest right as Shela pranced by with a shake of her head while carrying breakfast in the form of four rabbits by their tails, "really dad your that strong" Fissure asked excited, "of course son being the Beta means not only do have to leadership skills you've also got to have the strength to back up your Alpha son" Shimmer told his son as he messed up his son's head fur with a paw giving him a messy mowhawk making his son grin and giggle, "now back on topic to bring out your release you have to look into yourself and find it son" Shimmer stated to his son who was hanging on to his every word wanting to please his father, "now let me show you and follow my everymove but don't forget that you have to look into yourself son and find but don't force it let it flow into you now watch me son" Shimmer told his son as he closed his eyes and took a deep breath and not five seconds later Shimmer's body started to glow with a green aura made the barren ground around him blossem into a beautiful grassy patch and when Shimmer opened his eyes you still could see his saphire blue eyes with a green like watery glow eminating from them due to his aura, "awww cooldad that so cool" Fissure shouted excitedly as he watched his father bring forth his release, "now it's your turn son" Shimmer said letting the release fade, "now close your eyes son and take a deep breath and begin your search into yourself" Shimmer guided his son as Fissure followed his movements exatly, and ten minutes later Fissure silver body started to glow red and the ground around him started to smoke when flames shot out and surrounded his body in a cloak of fire when as suddenly as the flames appeared the vanished and Fissure staggered as he opened his eyes only to be caught by his father, "easy son take it slowly your going to be a little tired after that" Shimmer told his son as he lowered his body to set Fissure's body gently on the ground, "what happened dad all I remember was that I found my release and the rush I felt when I brought it out but then I wake up and I'm barly able to stand," he said tiredly and worried that let his father down, "well to sum it all up son you found your release" Shimmer said proudly as he nuzzled his son, "really dad I did?, what is it?" fissure asked in rapid fire sequence, "yes you did son and your a fire release you just made me so proud of you" Shimmer said as Fissure fell asleep from exaustion chuckling at his son Shimmer bit down the scruff of Fissure's neck and proceeded to carry him back to the den, setting Fissure down in his bed at the den, "sleep soundly my son you've earned it" he said nuzzling his son before walking out of the den to Shela "so sweetheart how did he do?" she asked upon seeing Shimmer, "our son is a fire release and maybe the strongest in the tribe" He said happily making Shela smile just as wide, "fire release well that's a surprize I thought for sure he would be a earth or lighting release but fire seems to fit him doesn't it?" She asked her mate as he nodded his head, "it sure does that blazing energy is just perfect for him" Shimmer said with a grin as Shela nuzzled him and pushed a rabbit toward him, taking that as an invintation he started to comsume the rabbit hungerily as Shela entered the den carrying a rabbit to there son's sleeping area and set it down next to him smiling at him as he slept and watched him dream kicking in his sleep, "sweet dreams my blazing Fissure" she thought leaving the den to rejoin her mate in watching the rest of the family with their kits.
For the next month life was good for the family of foxes as all the kits were now strong enough to travel to the tribe, Fissure proved to be the strongest out of the families kits because he was able to learn how to use his release before any of his siblings making his parents proud of him and that's all Fissure ever needed and according to him life couln't be more perfect.
As the sun set Shimmer emerged from the den and sat next to his mate, "Fissure is sound asleep" he said making her chuckle "after the day he had I'm not surprised" Shela stated as she leaned into her mate resting her head on his neck as he set his head on top of her's, "little tyke is just as hyper as his old man was when I was told we were leaving for the tribe tomorrow" Shimmer said as he and Shela watched the sun vanish under the horizen when an alarm bark was heard "Shela stay with Fissure" Shimmer ordered as he and the other adult foxes not raising a kit went off to deffend their families, as the small band of foxes arrived to the source of the bark they found one of their number was mortaly injured, "River who did this?" Shimmer asked the vixen, "three-tailed foxes twenty of them," she said before she died, "well well looks like Xalo was right Beta Shimmer of the Balze Fox tribe is here our lucky day," a voice said with and eivil chuckle as it revealed it's self in the form of a three-tailed fox followed by nineteen more, "now you die Shimmer," one of then said and they charged. Back at the dens Shela was trying to calm her son who just had a horrible nightmare when she heard and blood chilling shrieks from the other dens, running out of the dens she saw all of her family was slaughtered along with their kits, "well looks like I found Shimmer's mate" an onyx black three-tailed fox said, "Xalo why we did nothing to you" Shela said getting in a battle stance as Xalo charged slaming into her as she stood her ground as the clearing was filled with the gekkering of the two cobative foxes when a shard of the earth shot up and peirced Shela's chest as she shot a bolt of lighting into Xalo alost killing him making retreat, Fissure came out to see why his mother hadn't comeback when he saw her laying on the ground breathing labored breaths, "momma whats going on what happened why are you bleeding momma please answer me" he said scared and worried when Shela started to cough up blood, "my son please don't dispair I will be with you always don't forget to live your life to the fullest for me" she said smiling at her son as she closed her eyes for the last time never to wake up again, "momma please don't momma, momma, MOOOMMMAAAA," Fissure yelled in pain crying his heart out as Shimmer cameback alone as he was the only on to survive the fight as he came upon the clearing seeing his son crying over the corpse of his mate, tears falling from his eye Shimmer grasped Fissure's neck scruff with his maw as he was carried off protesting and calling out for his mother as they headed for the tribe alone.
