The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing No Honor in Helplessness
--- Shuule woke up the next day, in the dark as the candles had been blown out in the night, with just the sunlight coming in through the rock opening. Her eyes quickly adjusted, looking around for her roommate. Set was a large snake, curled up to sleep in the opposite corner, motionless. The hair on the back of Shuule's neck stood up a bit at the fact that she had shared a den with a snake overnight, but he had kept his distance. After settling in the afternoon before, she decided to cut the awkward silence with a nap, and ended up sleeping like the dead for twelve hours straight, not realizing how much she missed a soft place to lay and four walls to keep her safe. She stretched her arms over her body as she got out of bed, quietly walking to the opening to peek out. Even just putting her head outside into the open let the air hit her like a brick. It was hot, the humidity oppressive. Usually the dry season was hot, but the unusual rain had made the air so heavy you could drink it

It was far too humid to do much of anything, it was decided. Sure, like the men, Shuule was capable of forging through the weather, but with no reason to, bachelor males would even take a day like this to conserve themselves and not overheat.Set had shifted back into his full snake, and was entirely submerged into the water, his head elevated just enough that he could breathe, dozing off. Shuule had decided that she was going to stay human for now, sitting on the edge of the water, legs submerged up to her knees. With her almond skin, getting sun burnt wasn't much of a worry, but she was already regretting the decision. After four weeks of playing fox, she actually just wanted to test out being somewhat normal around a male, but she also was considering leaping out of her clothes so she could burrow under something shady.When she sighed, the snake opened up one of his eyes slightly, rolling it back to look at the girl sitting on the rock. The water rippled as his massive black body

Though Set decidedly did not care at all how Shuule ate her food, as it was clear she was uncomfortable with this one particular aspect- eating uncooked dead prey, as a woman, in front of others; They did not do it again. Snakes didn't need to eat every day anyway, and as the time went on and it was clear to Set that Shuule was, pleasantly, sticking around, he didn't even leave the cave every day. Some days he would lazily slither down to the stream to sun himself, Shuule tagging along. Other times Shuule would shift into her fox and go hunting for the smaller prey she was used to, like rabbit, mice, and birds, but would never bring it home. She would often come back with some token of whatever she had captured, though. One day, she came home with a neatly stacked and washed handful of bright green bird feathers, which reminded her of a peacocks but were significantly shorter. Delighted with them, she showed Set, who that night while she slept, carved out a little wooden vase with hi

Set reached out and grabbed both of Shuule's hands like he had the first time she showed him her beast fingernails, but this time it was with desperation, and taken by surprise, she didn't retract her claws. As she was still sitting, he had to lean over her, his long red streaked hair falling down in front of his wildly wide eyes. "I've wanted to be your mate since the first day I met you." Shuule furrowed her brow in disbelief. "You tried to EAT me Set -" And as she went to argue her point about their first encounter, for the third or fourth time since they had been living together, she squeaked as Set pulled her up from the ground into his chest, wrapping his arms around her small body as her own limbs hung to her sides, her toes barely touching the ground. It was in that moment that Shuule became truly aware of how much strength laid in this man, and how little he had not only not used against her, but not even shown her. Meanwhile, he didn't know if he should tell her the tru

After she had calmed down, Set brought Shuule back into the cave, even helping her undress and dry off before she laid down for a nap. By the time she woke up, the sun was beginning to die, and he had to push back intrusive thoughts that her outburst was because she was upset that her first spouse was a serpent. He knew, he was sure, it was bottled up emotions, but to then need to sleep for so long during the day felt like a mourning process. Unnerved, he hadn't woken her, but rather slithered up the outside of the caves' rocks to settle on the top to watch the sunset, alone in his thoughts. It was flat up there, and a good place to pass the time if you weren't afraid of being seen, but with it being the peak of the dry season, he hadn't thought to show Shuule as it could be incredibly hot during the day. "Set?" She called out quietly, hoping he would hear her, tugging on the very end of his tail, which he let hang over the doorway so she wouldn't wake up and think she was alone. I

Set barely let her finish the thought, emotions swelling in his usually steady, if not brooding demeanor. He didn't know one could feel such conflict inside of them. He was heartbroken for his friend - his spouse? His future mate, but above all, he was terribly angry. He seethed, wanting to swaddle her in the blanket she was in, hide her from the world, and then level the fox clan to the ground. By her description that village was facing extinction as it was, he may as well quicken it. How dare anyone treat a female this way? Let alone the terrible mate, the entire village had done her wrong. What kind of backwards society had she found herself in? At this point, he had forgotten how unnatural Shuule must have been to others. As a snake, he was equipped better to know how it felt to be on the outside, rather than the community choosing to exclude. He was only a two striped beastmen, but he also was only the same age as Shuule - seventeen - and so was formidable considering he had al

The moons had now hung in the sky for quite a while, and normally, Shuule would have been considering crawling into the cave for bed. But she had slept half the day away, and the scorching sun setting had cooled the air so much that not only did it seem like a pity to go back to sleep now, it seemed strange she hadn't chosen to be nocturnal through the summer months. She also hadn't eaten anything other than a half bowl of berries today, since she decided to have a meltdown halfway through her meal. As if he was a mind reader, Set decided their next activity."You should be hungry," he stated.Shuule wanted to deny this, but her stomach gave a small growl, giving her away. "You don't have to feed me, I can go find something -""I know I don't have to feed you. But you can't go out hunting on your own in the dark - don't - I know you'll think I'm wrong, but I'm not, you're stripeless and you're not an apex predator."Shuule huffed, knowing he was skirting around "It's not because you'r

The next days were bright, both in heart and of course, in daylight. The sun was at its most relentless now, no rain having fallen since that fateful day that had brought Shuule and Set together.Their relationship had become more relaxed, more flirtatious, but not much more intimate, other than that she had begun to sleep with him at night instead of in the nest. It was almost necessary now, as his cold blooded body was refreshing to curl up into. What Shuule didn't know was that Set barely slept during the night, taking in the hours as this female clung to him in sleep, wondering if she would wake up the next day and decide she could do better. It never happened though, and if he had known what to look for, she even often would sleep fully human, ears and all, because she was so secure she didn't feel the need to use her better animal hearing.Every day, Shuule wrestled with the wish to just lay around in the darkness of the cave, while also knowing that without the help of a villag

She stared at the young man, dutifully organizing the furs around him, who hadn't had anything else to say about the matter. Shuule thought that sentence was the beginning of a deeper conversation, not a statement."I don't understand," she finally said, sitting down on the floor across from him. Ukko kept his eyes low on his work silently for a few more moments, before clearing his throat."Well, it didn't happen to me, so..." he started. "But just because you can shift doesn't mean the spousal mark works differently, apparently. So when you were getting slammed around by that tiger, Set was put on alert like he would have been if you were at home and being attacked, or whatever. Whatever it's supposed to do. So when you're training, we'll uh, if you really want to train, we can't deal with you with kid gloves. So he's going to have to figure out how to turn off his lizard brain."Shuule tilted her head in question. "Lizard Brain?""You know, like stupid
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing In the End it's Better For Me, That's the Moral of the Story
Ukko gave one hesitant upwards glance back towards the tree, before jogging off after Set. "Hey!" he called out, the snake acting as though nobody was there. "HEY," Ukko yelled again, catching up, turning and blocking his path. "What the FUCK was that?!" The male was standing square, arms out to his sides and ready to strike a blow if Set went off again. But, instead, chest heaving, the half-snake gave a heavy sigh, and though he snarled, he didn't strike. "You need to understand something," he hissed, still catching his breath, pointing at his chest. "You can feel it." Ukko tilted his head, his guarded stance loosening. Set jammed his pointer finger at his own chest again. "When she gets injured, you can feel it. I never thought about it before." "Ah, shit." The two of them stood, staring at each other in the rain, the courtyard's slightly uneven stones, settled in the earth after twenty years pooling wa
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Start a Riot, Start a Riot, Start a Mosh Pit
Set didn't answer Shuule's question, turning into his half beast to hurriedly look her over."What were you thinking? The bird and I would have been fine," he scolded, panicked.Shuule bared her fangs, her claws out as she shoved Set away from her, to his shock."DID YOU JUST KILL HIM?" she yelled again. "Go give him the antidote!"Set scowled. "It was a dry bite," he said, stiffly."AND DON'T TELL ME I CAN'T FIGHT" she shrieked again, wanting to burst back into her beast form.By now, Ukko had easily swung himself into the second story with his long arms, smirking at seeing the two of them bristle at each other. The snake may have her heart, but at least he now knew they weren't always pawing at each other like star crossed teens."We can train you," the eagle offered, quietly from the corner of the room."You won't," hissed Set, considering biting this annoyance also.Shuule just about had it, swiping at him with a cla
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing What Do You Want to Say? What Do You Think Will Change?
Shuule let out a barking noise, half in protest, half in surprise. She thought the trio of them would touch base with each other and devise a plan. Living with three separate species not practiced in communicating was already proving difficult, but she had no time to mull this over. As the fox clawed her way down the trunk of the birch, the harpy eagle flew as fast as he could at such a short distance to the top most entrance. If Set was going to ambush from below, Ukko would crash the party from above.Before Shuule could reach the tree, three yelping roars could be heard from inside. With a small hesitation, the fox puffed up her chest and scrambled up the giant tree's thick bark. She had never tried to climb one of these great houses before, and she found the bark was different than a regular tree's - it was easier to find places to hold onto and grip, one wouldn't even really need claws to do so, just the strength. Darting into the open entrance of the second story, she h
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Who Do You Think You Are? Who Do You Think I Am?
"Wait up!" Ukko waved his hand as he jogged out the door behind the fox, who turned around expectantly. As long as she didn't bolt, it made more sense for the man not to change into his eagle, since they wanted to end up at the tree at the same time."I know which one she's talking about, follow me. Unless - if you want to lead that's fine. I didn't mean to tell you what to do."Shuule chirped again. If she was human, she would be laughing at the boy's fear of irritating her. This was the first time she had been alone with Ukko, and in honesty, thinking back as the two of them trotted in the rain, she wasn't sure if they had been in the same room as each other for an hour total. With her conscious, at least. This was an awkward first date, going to pillage a house. But either way, relieved, she could tell this was going to work. A love connection? Who knew, but as far as males went, he seemed alright.Rain could be tricky for scenting. On one hand, the smells of

"The food didn't matter at all," Shuule answered, sighing in relief. "Thank you. I mean it, Ukko, thank you." For the first time, Shuule opened up her arms and hugged the young male, who could have been knocked over with one of his own feathers as a result. It took him a moment to even move his limbs, gently wrapping them around the girl in return. He eyed the snake, who was pointedly ignoring them, but was still too nervous to do anything more, such as pull her in tighter or drop his neck around her shoulders."Y-you're welcome. Of course." He stammered.Remi interrupted the reunion. "So you all can leave now, right?"Anna rolled her eyes "I apologize for my asshole of a spouse with no patience," she growled.Shuule shook her head. "No, he's right, we should be leaving. We can figure out where to move today." She shifted her weight out of Ukko's arms, looking between him and the snake - her two, now, spouses. "I want a tree house. How do I make that happ
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Ain't No Stopping Us Now, I Love That Song
It was well past noon now, though the darkened gray skies made it hard to tell by the angle of the sun. Shuule had long since removed her rain gear, hanging it to dry on wooden pegs that were bolted next to the front door. Anna and Remi were sitting with each other on a brown animal fur couch, fingers intertwined, barely paying attention to Shuule and Set as they fawned over each other.Remi was built much like Ukko was, a long legged, somewhat narrow man, but with broad shoulders and muscular arms. Though the bird men could easily pass as regular humans if they needed to, they were, once examined, top heavy in bulk, which made sense given their ability to fly when transformed. As a black eagle, Remi's hair was jet dark rather than silver gray - much more common in the city, and the world in general that they knew of anyway. With no means of communication other than word of mouth, the city and its surroundings only knew of what was in the world in about a half year's travel r
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Know That We'll Still Have Each Other
"What do you mean, 'how'?" Asked the bear, gruffly. "Rarities like jewelry I'd need something in return, but if it's basic needs, I just give it to you. Unless you're planning on leaving the city with it. Then that's stealing."Shuule and Set both starred at the three striped man, slack jawed."It's a trap," Shuule said, plainly.The iron smith's stubbled face first twisted into a scowl, then broke into a hearty laugh. "Uh.... what? No? Everyone here gets what they need unless," He shot a warning glare to the serpent man, "they truly act terrible or useless. Especially the women, you would never go without. Come back when you have your home set up and I'll give you what you need."Set nodded in understanding, putting his hand on the small of his mate's back, ready to turn and leave. Though this isn't what was in his legacy memories, most of the way the city now operated wasn't. It had clearly changed since he hatched.The bear then pointed to the w
The Violet Fox: The BeastWorld Prophecies After Bai Qingqing Now That It's Raining More Than Ever
As the skies overhead finally gave way, both girls shrieked, then laughed, running inside. Shuule shook her head vigorously to get the water off her ears and hair. They were met swiftly with the smell of wet fur in the house, muddy paw prints on the stone floor."KITTENS!" Screamed Anna, while twisting her hair into a knot on the top of her head. "IF YOU ARE IN THIS HOUSE I SWEAR"Shuule couldn't help but stifle a laugh under her hands, remembering her own mother scolding all of them for the same reason. A pang of guilt ripped through her at the thought - she missed her mother. Shuule was an adult now, and should be off on her own, but it would have been good to at least have a proper send off, the unknown now starting to spiral in her head."KITTENS." Anna paused to listen, no response being given."I don't think anyone is in here," Shuule offered, being able to hear better. She paused, sniffing the air. "I think Remi is upstairs?"A broad smile c
