Mia, blinked as she finally could open her eyes. The blindfold was gone and so were the cuffs. She felt her way up but the place was too small even to stand up. She lowered her voice and slowly called out, "Lin, are you there? "

At first there was no reply. She tried again raising her voice a bit higher, "Lin are you there? "

"Mia? Mia. Where are you Mia. " came a distant , hurried reply. " Are you alright. Ahhhh! "

"Lin calm down. I'm alright . You will only exhaust yourself. You won't be able to use you powers here. Let's wait till we get out. " Mia whispered, " Where are the others? Where Boshu? "

"I'm here" came a groaning sound.

"What exactly happened back there? " Mia asked.

"Like I told you, they had a honey trap ready for us. I only had my two men on the lookout. They were no match against their soldiers unfortunately. I should have been more careful. " Lin hit the floor so hard it vibrated all along.

He called again , a little louder. There was still no response. She instead, walked straight towards the angry king shouting orders at his soldier. She walked as if she was hypnotized.

As soon as Lin yelled her name, the king and the others too turned in Mia's direction. Just at the moment

What do you think these are for? Just for you to watch and admire. " He smiled with a wink and then continued, " Eat up. We have a lot of talking to do. You need lots of energy to keep going. "Mia and Lin obediently dug in and went on eating without raising their heads. There was a lot going on behind in their minds. Each had their own set of worries.

No clan fightings or wars. But pure sportsmanship. There used to be huge crowds for the competitions. Ah! What golden days were those. You kids have no idea how good it used to be before all the misunderstandings and tragedies. " He said pointing at the two, then continued, " Anyways, let's continue with the main story.

    "She was thinking that her father had approved of her choice of a life partner but her father was thinking that he was helping his child get her revenge? In this living world, is that kind of confusion even possible? " Mia was dumbfounded. She looked at Lin and then at her father for some words of reassurance.Her father nodded his head saying, "Miscommunication is the key to all misunderstandings and misfortunes. Having a good talk and clarifying things are as important as strategising a battle plan. Even the slightest carelessness could lead to heavy casualties. " He sighed. "You can take for example the affection between your mother and myself. "Mia looked up at the mention of her mother from her father's mouth for the first time. She was waiting for this her whole life."The thing that we had, your mother and myself is something indescribable. It was like love at first sight. An eternal attachment, an instant connection.

    Mia was as bemused as her father. The images of her father were clear in her mind though the memories were faded. How could those memories be false when she could instantly recognise her father through them. Though Mia was a half wolf, her sense of smell wasn't that strong. She relied of her other senses to get her through. She kept looking at her father's face. The image in her mind was of the exact same person, only a little younger.The foxes and wolves aged differently. They did grow up like a human but then after attaining maturity , they took a very very long time to reach old age. Mia was having a hard time digesting the turmoil within her."Are you saying father, that you haven't taken me for a ride in the woods before? " Her eyes were tearing up, " Wasn't it you who took me to the village fest and bought those toys? ""Mia.Moa calm down. I would have done all that, and much more had I known where you were. Rather, had I known that I had you. But why do you say it was me who d

    "What happened? What made you scream like that? " Lin finally asked helping her back on her feet.Mia pointed at the butterflies and asked, " These. What are these? "" Oh! Those. Those are one of our spirit protectors. But what was so scary about them? " Xie asked finally speaking and making eye contact with Mia. He had been feeling very guilty even since he had found that Mia was their half sister. He was a very dedicated brother. He loved Roe endlessly. And now that Mia was present as well, he felt very much obliged to shower her with affection as well. Specifically after putting her through so much turmoil. He finally gathered his courage and stood infront of Mia. Before she could answer his questions, he officially wanted to apologize to her, " Mia, I have been meaning to do this. I understand you have all the reasons to not accept it but I wanted to present my sincere apology to you. I ought to have been more vigilant. How could I not recognise our own flesh and blood.

We are in the fox lands now. We are safe. Don't worry, " Lin comforted while hectically looking around."What is it? What are you looking for? " Mia asked noticing his gaze."We were supposed to get right inside the palace. Inside Nana's chambers. Why could I not get inside? " Lin wondered." Wait here for a few minutes. I will go check what's going on, " Lin told Mia, making her sit beside a pile of big boulders"Don't Lin. Don't go leaving me behind alone like this, " Mia was about to break into tears. It was obvious she was too scared."Mia.I need to hurry. I think they activated the war shield. The one we use during battles to keep wolves at bay. I think we couldn't get in because you were with me. The shield detects wolf blood and send it off for a detour. If I try getting in with you I will never succeed. Also

What is it we are up against this time? " Roe asked her father."The enemy that can be seen is nothing to be feared. It's the unseen that's the most malicious and dangerous. Where did you say Mia was? We need to bring her inside the periphery of the inner castle. " The wolf king asked again." I told you father. We lost her when the alarm went around. But dont worry, Lin is with her.
