Welcome to Gaia! ::

Rei kept her eyes on Ara for a moment as she moved to take a better look at the young Vixen her soon had been laying with. "Thank you, he's one of my pride and joy." She said, she still had emotion for her murderous children. Finally taking in Ara she bowed respectfully. "I hope your taking care of my son." She said still with no tone.

She looked at Odi frowning, "Why did you let a snakebite you?" She knew how snakebites worked, she was just wondering how her son would make such a mistake.

Odi frowned as he watched her then laid back down. Holding himself up hurt to much. "Mom this is Ara, Ara this mom. Ara's my...mate mom..." he said it feeling awkwardly. He was a mama's boy so he didn't want to see her not accept it. "And I'm like this because...I forgot to check the tall grass again. It's nothing dangerous mom." He said, he didn't want her to know what had happend.

"I'm happy to hear that. I must say I never thought he find someone he would care about." She said giving a tiny smile at them. She liked this Ara. "Too late, look on his let...weird angle though almost like he held it their." She said out loud figuring Odi wasn't stupid enough to play with snakes. ((She has no idea)) "It's past dealing with. He'll just have to suffer but he wont die." She said looking at the two taking in another warm feeling.

Odi frowned realizing that his mother had just given away his earlier attempt to save Ara. He'd keep that to himself for now, she just seemed tired and his mom didn't mention it. He nuzzled her back gently then stopped blushing his white fur turning a light pink. "Uhh, Mom...I have a question. You ever heard of a Shadow Beast?" He asked and frowned when his moms face took on a deep frown. "Is it bad?" he said tensing slightly.

Odi looked down at the brown stuff in puzzlement. He looked sideways at her and frowned slighlty. "Is that...chewed rat?" He asked hesitant before reaching down and and picking it up and chewing. "Go on mom." He said awkwardly around his chew.

Rei pondered why her son asked him this question but let the question's come later. "The shadow beast was a god much like in Lunarie. Only thing is it was imprisoned by the others for being evil. It's something you don't want to deal with. It lives down here was us in a temple of human make. It loves heart blood of foxes. Often it will set up foxes to meet then force them into a situation to give up their first born kit. Once given the kit it corrupts it into a twisted killing machine. One smart enough and violent enough to bring it hearts of foxes. If a fox doesn't bring it the two foxes will die at the hands of their first born kit. There is more too it if you want to hear it. It's just a wise tale we tale kits to keep them out of human buildings." She said looking at the looks of both of them.

Odi sat his entire body on edge as he listened to the story. He looked sideways at Ara the feeling now was, did it really happen like that.

Odi looked sideways Ara, he could see the pain in her face and he only sighed lightly. He had no other choice, if he was only going to have to deal with his convictions then he would be fine with it. However if it endangered Ara he would not let that go. "Yea mom. I can't remember the full story from being a kit." He said, he truely didn't remember the story.

Rei emotionless face didn't move s she heard the two of them. It was a old wise tale that was going to die. And she knew for a fact she never told Odi this one. Not after his father nearly let him get ate by that alligator when he was kit. "Well, the two foxes are let to do their own as long as it get's it kit. Often it would send a white snake to fix whatever the issue was. Often though it would let the one making the deal suffer, sort of like a agreement of the deal. Also the first kit is often unstable. If it knew that it was ruined for life because of it's parents it will try to earn their love...in the only way it can. Trying to take the hearts of it's sibling to give to it's pare-" As she was about to continue her story she was suddenly cut off by Odi.

"Mom stop now!" He snarled as he moved forward. His vision turned red and he started to drool slighlty before falling down still snarling. His blood lust had rose from his anger at himself but he couldn't move from the venom. "..."

"Your bloodlust...you said you were over it." She said walking beside him and checking his eyes. "Do you know he has this issue?" She asked frowning as Odi seemed to try and move his head to snap at his mother to no avail.

((See he's a killer! My last long post for tonight. See you tomorrow. ))

Odi mind was in full rage as he tried to move to bite at the two females. He tried to lift himself up but the sudden rush of the vemon gave him temporary paralysis. Also the attempts at trying to move tired him out. He laid in his position still slavering. As he Ara touch his side he was able to lift his head enough to look toward her. The silent humming was enough to bring him back to his own free will. He laid taking deep breaths to further calm himself. "I'm sorry..." He managed after a few minutes feeling utterly guilty. "Ara...Mom..." He frowned closing his eyes, he just wanted to disappear then his anger turned back to his dad. It was his fault, now he was going to be just like him. Giving his kit a false life.

Rei nodded at Ara after hearing her speak. "I see...his father was worst." She said as if it was some consolation to the situation. She gently petted him while he laid their, it hurt her to see her son in this state but she had to get over it. "I can only guess you too are dealing with the Shadow Beast." She said it in a calm way as she watched him come back. "It's fine Odi. You didn't hurt us. Just rest." She cooed.

Odi just stayed silent as he listened to her. This day was a living hell. The only good part about it was that he was able to save Ara. "Maybe..." He grumbled too her.

Rei watched the two for a long moment. Her suspicion was growing more but she ignored it. This was her son's new life and she wasn't going to complain. This female made him happy so she was going to accept her. "Can I speak with you alone Ara?" She asked walking away slightly, it wasn't really a question.

Odi nuzzled her back, he did feel better with her so close to him. "I trust you." He said as he laid his head down. The pounding was horrible and besides. Whatever they were going to talk about it wasn't so bad.

After seeing Ara was coming Rei walked farther ahead. Finding a spot where she was sure that Odi couldn't hear but they could keep a eye on him did she stop. As she looked Ara over one last time she spoke. "My son is very lucky to have you...but you need to be careful with him. He can be dangerous. He hasn't...shown any other issues have he?" She made a small notion at a puddle, if Ara knew then it was fine. If she didn't Rei would let her deal with it on their own time together.
