One dragon for another...

Today marked the five day mark; the day Kana would succumb to the curse given to him for trying to protect his mother. A day that would see a child die for no reason.

Like hell Kaga was going to let Hel steal away a child without a fight. So she stayed close to Kana in her fox form, the nine-tails wanting to be ready for when Hel showed up to try to claim the dragon child. And also just to keep the poor boy calm; the nine-tails assumed that having at least one of his parents with him during this would be a good idea, and Vallite is busy helping with the search for the Summoner...

And when the time came for Hel to appear, the fox wasted no time in getting aggressive towards the death ruler, who seemed unphased by the angry fox.

“Move. His time has come.”

“No. You will not take this child!” Cue the kitsune’s tails to flare up, before she tried to charge towards Hel and attack her....Which seemed to have no effect. “Grrr.....” Cue the fox to attack again, only earning a slash from Hel’s scythe in the process, which knocked Kaga away and left the fox with a noticeable wound that stained part of her white fur and made it hurt to put any weight on one of her legs.

“Your effort and your breath - they are both wasted. Your time has come, child of dragons.”

Kana stares at Hel....before starting to growl just like Kaga did, despite not really being able to breathe; he is trying to refuse to go down without a fight...But that isn’t going to stop the scythe coming down upon him-

Well, perhaps a scaled arm taking the blow instead can stop it for now. Vallite hissed in pain, but the half-transformed dragon just glared at Hel.

“You....shielded him.”

Vallite made no motion to even show any interest in Hel’s words, or of her bleeding arm, simply standing between Hel and the child. She knows she cannot chase the embodiment of death away....but she won’t allow Kana to face death just because he protected her.

“Move.”

“...” The dragon just shakes her head, before staring at Hel, thinking over something. “....I’ll.....face death....before you take him......” Vallite starts to cough from using her voice, but still looking right at what is basically Death.

“.....Very well. You can take his place then.” Hel raised her scythe, and was quick to strike down the dragon before Vallite could even attempt to voice any opinion.

The dragon didn’t even get a chance to scream, though a growl came from Kana as he finally regained the ability to breathe easily, while Kaga was stunned silent, the downed fox just staring at Vallite’s body as she fell. Hel seemed to disappear as quickly as she appeared, leaving the foxes and dead dragon in silence.

“.......Mama...?” Kana was about to approach Vallite’s body, but paused and simply looked over at Kaga, who was silent, the fox slowly finding her way onto her paws, limping towards the dead dragon before laying down next to Vallite and just laying her head down on the dragon’s chest.

“...Mom, you’re bleeding.....” “.......” “.......” Kana is now rather concerned since the fox made no sign that she heard him, beyond looking towards him before closing her eyes. Causing Kana to choose to simply transform into his own beast form and run off to go seek a healer to treat Kaga.

-----------------

A couple hours later....

Kana had left his kitsune mother in the hands of the healers for now, not wanting to get in their way. The boy needed time to process what had happened.

He thought he was going to die.

To protect him, one of his mothers took a blow while trying to get Hel to leave. And the other......died due to taking his place without realizing that it was an option.

“.....Mama...” The dragon/fox child was quick to find a place to hide away from most other heroes before letting himself cry. He just lost one parent, and the other seems to have had something break given her silence after Vallite’s death. This wasn’t fair in his mind; neither was losing his own life, but after the past five days, he had partly accepted it. He didn’t expect anything that happened. He didn’t want to lose either of them; yes, they were not the versions of his mothers he knew back in his world....but he still didn’t want to see one die in front of him.

That’s why he took a risk and protected Vallite in the first place, even if it seems to have ended causing quite the mess.

Meanwhile, Kaga was back in her usual form, her left shoulder and arm wrapped up in bandages where she had been wounded. But she could care less about her own wound; she was still in shock from what happened.

She didn’t want Kana to die; she didn’t expect Vallite to go down instead. The nine-tails was grateful for their son evading death, but she wanted both of them to live, not for one to die in the place of the other.

......Though she was ready to face Death just to protect Kana. So maybe she has no room to judge Vallite’s choices, though it seemed like the dragon was unaware of the option. Kaga just sighed before taking her leave from the medical wing in the Order of Heroes, not wanting to wait around for a healer to clear her to leave; even if her wound still hurt, it was at least covered up now and treated besides a lack of magical healing for now, so it could heal on its own.

Besides, Kaga wanted to check on someone. After all, what would of been the point of trying to protect Kana if she didn’t make sure he was alright after that?

---------

The nine-tails found Kana hiding away from the main hall in the Order of Heroes, noting how sad the boy looked; understandable given that he just lost his mother. So instead of trying to speak to him right away, Kaga just walked over and sat down beside him, wanting to allow Kana the choice of saying anything or not. But after sitting there a moment, and actually seeing the younger kitsune hug one of her tails, she just sighed before choosing to speak first.

“......I’m sorry I wasn’t able to protect her. You didn’t deserve to see what happened.”

“......I’m ok.....It’s fine....” Kana tries to wipe away his tears and stop his crying, before feeling Kaga pat his back.

“No, you’re not; trust me, it’s better to cry than to act like you are not hurting.”

“But I need to be strong like yo-”

“Kana. Even the strong cry; just let it out, you will feel better once you get it out.” Kaga just wrapped a few more of her tails around Kana, before humming a bit to herself, only to stop when she felt the young kitsune hug her.

“......You’re sad too, right...? You were really quiet when Mama died.....”

“.....Of course I am; I envy your strength to cry honestly, and your bravery in growling at Hel, even if you were only just regaining your breath.” The nine-tails said in a quiet voice, returning the hug.

“....I didn’t want to go; and I wanted her to leave you and Mama alone, Mom.....”

Kaga smiles a bit at this. “Well thank you for trying to protect us; it takes a lot of strength to try to intimidate death itself.”

“.......Do you think that if we were able to use our strength together, we could of stopped her...?”

“......No.”

“Oh.......”

“That’s not because we aren’t strong however; Hel did not allow any of us to show our strength.”

“......She was cheating?”

“Clearly; which angers me. She didn’t even give Vallite a fair chance.....”

“.......Hey Mom?” Cue Kana to look up at Kaga’s face, still holding onto one of the nine-tails’ tails.

Cue Kaga to just get a questioning look on her face, saying nothing for now.

“.......Didn’t you sink once?”

“Yes......What’s your point?”

“If you can come back from that, can Mama come back too...?”

“.....” Kaga was silent for a few moments, before getting a smile on her face. “Hehehe.....Hel’s final struggles will be entertaining....”

“....Mom? What does that mean lady have to do with it?”

“Ah, simple; to rescue people like me and my sister, we had to be retrieved from where we sank. Since Hel stole her, perhaps we must retrieve Vallite from Hel’s realm.”

“And the final struggles....?” Kana is not too shocked by Kaga’s wording, but he is confused as to why she mentions that when Hel couldn’t be harmed by her.

“A fight will likely be involved in order to retrieve anyone from that realm. And I don’t intend on letting Hel go unscathed for what she did to you and Vallite.”

Kana thinks over Kaga’s words before looking determined. “I want to help! That way, I can try to make sure she can’t cheat!”

“.....Are you sure, Kana, even after what happened to you..?”

“Yeah! You said I was strong too, so that means I can help!”

“....You are your mother’s son; always eager to help even when it’s not your duty to do so. Very well; but stay close to me the whole time we are there, and if I tell you to retreat, you will retreat, got it?”

“Alright! Oh hey, maybe the others can help us find a way to where we need to go!”

“I think they are all busy looking for the summoner.....”

“Oh.....Well, maybe one of the other Askrs can help?”

“It’s worth a try....” Cue Kaga to look around, noting the lack of sunlight coming through the closest window. “But first....I think it’s your bedtime. We can start our search in the morning.”

“Awww.....But I want to start trying to find Mama now....” Kana complained as Kaga stood up, helping the young fox dragon up onto his feet.

“I get your eagerness, but you will only keep your strength if you get enough rest; I give you permission to wake me up tomorrow so we can get ready to start searching without you needing to wait for me to wake up by myself.”

Cue Kana to let out a fox-like whine and let his ears fold back. “......Can you tell me a bedtime story at least...?”

“If it will help you sleep, then of course.”

Granted, by the time Kaga led Kana to his room, the fox child was already yawning, but promised he could stay awake as Kaga told him a story. He was wrong, as he ended up falling asleep around the middle of it, but all the nine-tails did was quietly laugh and simply leave the room to let the boy sleep.

Kaga didn’t much enjoy returning to her own room for the night, given that she normally shared a bed with Vallite, but the kitsune simply buried those emotions for now.

It would just be for a few days hopefully. Then she wouldn’t have to worry about it, since Vallite would be back.

She just had to figure out how to kick Hel’s ass......

“Oddly it’s only her phone that does that, though I guess it’s likely rather important that she is able to communicate with those in her origin world; Vallite is a commander, and I guess still needs to be able to oversee her forces somehow. She will likely be fine with needing to be radio silent with them if it helps everyone though.” Heca is sorta assuming that, but from what she knows about Vallite, she has a good guess that the dragon would be fine with loaning her phone to see if there’s a way to allow the summoners to message their home worlds.

(I just saw that ask answer about the lack of wi-fi, and couldn't resist.) "Well, if it helps any, it seems my Askr might have some way to communicate with other worlds, since Vallite can somehow send messages back to her own world via a phone. So there's hope to be able to communicate with our origin worlds soon enough." ~ Heca

Alex: I’m certainly looking into that. If I manage to figure out how to get WiFi between worlds that will certainly be something I will share with everyone else in the AAAS.

A bit of self-driven character development!

(So originally this was just going to be a set of the icons for the Fantasy Character Development meme for like....Heca or something, but my brain wanted to expand on Vallite’s origin world, so this might get long!

And by that I mean I got the urge to make HCs related to Vallite and Kaga for some reason. BUT might as well do two sets! Before a line under the cut will be Heca’s set, below that line will be the set for the other two. Trust me, it will be a noticeable line.

Why a line under a cut? This will get long even with one set, trust me.)

(Heca’s set; only she is speaking here.)

Does your character possess magic? How do they feel about it even if they don’t have it?

“Of course I do; I’m a goddess of magic in a way......Personally, I know why most don’t rely on it, but simple magic is a boon that many people can create. Making simple spells can work better than just simple prayer; though many simple spells might require praying to a god or spirit for it to work.”

“And then of course, magic like what is seen here? That’s something you got to train and hone; even if something gives you the power to start practicing without you being born with it, you gotta train it!”

How does your character feel about Non-Human intelligent races? If they are one how are they treated?

“..........I lived in a place surrounded by mostly demons and hell-born fey. And I’m not human myself. To say that I respect non-humans would be an understatement....I have lived among them for years, I could never change how I treat someone based solely on what species they are.”

“..................I may have seen ‘lesser’ demons and the native fey as little more than pawns in the past though. Though getting my body that belongs to the lunar Hell almost killed by a ‘lesser’ demon who reawakened his kind’s draconic side was quite the lesson....And that’s fine; after all, Hell natives are ranked by merit, I should of known better. Though the demons still tend to favor the ones that considered naturally stronger over the more cunning ‘lessers’. Unless it’s Therai’s kind, since the specific type are kind of a myth now, since they all went missing after Therai himself was sealed away....Same with the few remaining Lampads; the Hell Fairies are still in all the Hells, but the Lampads all left like those draconic demons........Wonder if they gathered together; Therai did lead all of his fellow dragon demons and the few lampads I had left before he was sealed...”

What weapon does your character wield? Why did they choose it? If your character doesn’t fight, why?

“See, I normally fight with magic, but that’s not really a weapon. I heard that one universe has a version of myself that used a scythe, but clearly I do not have that knowledge. Does a dragonstone count? Breath? I guess those? Curse my lack of proper weapons.....Besides Therai’s lance a couple of times.”

If your character is part of the aristocracy how do they feel about their responsibility? If not how do they feel about their local governing body.

“I guess since I’m the goddess of Hell, I’m basically the leader.......I mean, that was mostly because I kicked the asses of everyone else who wanted that role. The lunar Hell was the most difficult because again, I got my Moon body almost killed by a demon dragon.....He must of trained really hard before he tried that, since he would of won if it was only that one body and he didn’t have to deal with my other two. I don’t even think he wanted to be the leader, just wanted to knock me down a peg.....He did end up being a great right hand until he accidentally went mad from being so close to the Lunar Capital coupled with insanity causing light from the torches of the lampads he led in the first lunar invasion......”

“But as the Goddess, I do have to take at least some proper role in how it works, though I mostly just make sure everyone is doing what they need to. And making sure outside threats don’t cause an issue. Our suns are still recovering from Hou Yi’s attack, despite it being so long ago.....”

Has your character obtained any unique or important injuries/scars, what are they and what are they from?

“I.....Thankfully have a body that healed any and all wounds completely; at least until I arrived here. I have scars from my time in Hel.......They looked like jello while I was there. But they were from me trying to rush in and locate Hel myself so I could kill her to stop some death curses.”

What does your character consider to be their ‘occupation’ how do they define it? Is it lucrative?

“Back home, I’m the Goddess of Hell; I guess that is lucrative. But here, I’m the Summoner; not sure if it’s lucrative, but day to day, it’s more exciting than my role in Hell. That, and you can tell I didn’t have an active role since it’s been fine since I have been gone....I trust the other high ranking members to maintain order there; and no one will take my spot because they know I would kill them if they did while I was gone. I command quite a lot of respect, after all~”

Has the type of world your character lives in claimed anyone they loved? How do they cope with it?

“It claimed my step-son’s innocence and his life itself. And it claimed both of my spouses’ lives. And Junko’s mental and emotional stability. Which is why I’m worried about her given how long I have been gone and the fact I summoned Isamu recently. He told me that she was not in a good state at first, but somehow he got her to calm down; said something about a horned cat reassuring them that I’m fine, and giving them update-........WAIT, THAT WAS CHRONOS; HOW THE FUCK DID SHE FINALLY FIND A WAY TO GET OUT OF OLD HELL??”

“As for how I cope with it; I try to make their afterlife as good as it can be; they are all stuck as spirits, and I don’t know when they will finally fade, so I try to make the most out of the time I have with them.”

Does your character feel any connection with the land/country they were born in, what sort of connection?

“Of course I do; I’m the Goddess of it. My connection to it is important to maintaining my strength; it even still applies here, though I think just making people aware of me is helping. I don’t really seek faith, I get plenty from the countless Hells....”

Does your character buy into destinies, fate, or prophecies? Why or why not?

“I wish I could say I couldn’t, but it seems like Junko’s destiny is to eternally seek revenge on Chang’e.....Just like it seems my fate is that I will one day outlast my beloved family and the friends I have made. I accept this; I make new allies and friends often, but when I start seeing my family’s spirits fading, will be the day my heart starts to break, as my limited control of ghosts will not be enough to save them. Or in Junko’s case, the day I start to see her anger and hate start to finally consume her; I delayed it as much as I can so far, but one day, I fear it won’t be enough....”

“.......I was at least able to save that poor boy from what seemed like his fate; no one deserves that death curse, let alone a child who was just trying to protect his mother.”

Is there something commonplace in their kingdom or world that your character absolutely despises?

“Not in Hell itself.....But I do despise the Lunar Capital given how much trouble it has been.....Even the fact I’m one of the gods that has some domain over the moon by way of its Hell did not convince the people of it to hand over Chang’e so I could deal with her instead of them....Though the moon rabbits are forgiven. They are just following orders and don’t have any say in what goes on there to my knowledge.”

Has your character experienced war or conflict, directly or indirectly how did it effect them?

“.........I have experienced both. I find conflicts that need my direct or indirect involvement fun, because I love to fight, but wars......they get tiring honestly. I try to end them quickly, but being here has taught me to be a bit more patient....Not willingly though.”

What does your character fear most in their world?

“........I was going to say ‘Therai’ as a joke. But honestly he is frightening because his dragon form is fucking vicious when angry. And again, I fear the day my family starts to fade away because they are after all spirits.....Or the day Junko finally goes mad from her purified grudge.”

Of the fantastical elements in their world what does your character actually find strange, or hard to believe?

“I don’t find anything back home hard to believe, but here.....I refuse to believe that there is no one in either Askr or Embla that can use the opposing side’s ability. Even royals get around you know. Look at King Garon, who had who knows how many concubines.....”

Does your character believe in hard, definable good and evils?

“No. In some eyes, I’m evil; in some I’m good; in others, I’m a neutral force. Just like the world, we are never set in stone; we are always changing, always doing both good and evil. That’s why it’s so hard to get to Heaven; rarely will one be so good they would reject the chance to reincarnate. After all, immortality is both a blessing and a curse, and it comes in many flavors; simple agelessness, an inability to die, even remaining exactly the same physically as you were when you drank a special elixir....”

“That....And living itself is seen as a sin by some, so you can never be completely sinless.”

Any unique traditions where your character is from that wouldn’t work or apply in the real world?

“Just.....the whole way Hell works maybe. The Outside World has to remain unaware of a lot of things honestly....So many things only allowed to be myths and legends...I wonder who among those I know are found in those myths, and who has been forgotten, truly belonging in Gensokyo?”

------------------------------------------

(Congrats if you got this far! This part is Vallite and Kaga’s version of the set of questions! Vallite��s words[which are basically a mix of sign language and writing] are in italics while Kaga’s words are in bold. This also contains a lot of guessing and headcanons about a story that hasn’t been translated for the English server of Azur Lane; aka I have to go off of what little I know and some minor aid from TvTropes.)

Does your character possess magic? How do they feel about it even if they don’t have it?

“Kaga, don’t kitsunes have magic? Is it truly powerful for one with nine tails like you?”

“I’m honestly not sure; I haven’t really tested it much, beyond what I use to launch planes, and the flames that float near me sometimes. What about you; surely you must know something about it, if you can copy the Corrins’ dragon form.”

“Yeah, I know a bit.....That’s the best I can do though, maybe also control water a bit. Yeah, that’s all.”

How does your character feel about Non-Human intelligent races? If they are one how are they treated?

“...I’m a kitsune. But I’m also not someone who has much experience with anyone outside of the fleet I was in....Vallite, do you know anything? You were able to interact with those outside the fleet, since you are human.”

“Kaga, I don’t think non-humans have existed in many years; or at least, they don’t make themselves known, so I wouldn’t know. But honestly, I would treat them with the same respect I give others. After all, I may have met a couple of dragons in my past.”

“Is that why you haven’t seemed to age?”

“Yes of course; a dragon’s blessing from being a good friend to one of great magical ability.”

What weapon does your character wield? Why did they choose it? If your character doesn’t fight, why?

“I used to be able to prove my strength using my training as a carrier, but.....I believe that has been removed from me here. And Crescent suggested I try a bow for some reason. That.....didn’t end well; my strength does not lie in the bow.”

“Did you hurt your arm like she did?”

“.....Yes; not one of my finer moments.”

“Stick to your powerful fox form here, dear. If we ever need a bow, let me use it; I can actually shoot it without hurting my arm. Your strength lies in your fox form, at least here.”

If your character is part of the aristocracy how do they feel about their responsibility? If not how do they feel about their local governing body.

“I’ve never thought much about the leaders above me......I simply follow orders; I fight not out of enjoyment, but out of duty. That being said......I would rather not listen to Heca, given that she doesn’t even a rank, so nothing really puts her above me other than her summoning ability. But I have no choice. Vallite however......I’ll listen to her; she actually is a commander at least, if not higher rank than that.”

“I.......My feelings towards the Sakura Empire is mixed. On one hand, I have a strong sense of loyalty towards what is basically my homeland, but on the other hand......I refuse to listen to the Sirens. I had to go with the rebels and become part of Azur Lane in hopes I can save any of them....I have saved a few, but the end is not in sight yet.”

“Wait, you rebelled...?”

“Why yes; you always said that the strong are those that shall lead. I’m stronger now than I was before we met again here. Also, strong as you may be, you just refused to be found I swear; I found your sisters, but never you, dear.”

Has your character obtained any unique or important injuries/scars, what are they and what are they from?

“.....Where did you get that scar on your face; it looks like something tried to claw your eye out.”

“I have more scars than that, but.....There’s a reason why I normally didn’t get involved in breaking up you and Akagi’s fighting and just left it to Amagi back when I wasn’t allowed to command anyone and was simply there to help with maintaining things. You know, for the one that doesn’t focus on being strong, your sister can cause quite the scratch when provoked.”

“............I forgot about that; my memories of back when I was a Battleship are quite foggy. I hope it doesn’t affect your sight?”

“Oh yeah, I can see just fine. I also got a bunch of markings, but those are from the dragon blessing, though I’m sure some scars are mixed in there. Does my lovely fox have any marks?”

“No, besides some from the battle I sank in.....But they aren’t noticeable.”

What does your character consider to be their ‘occupation’ how do they define it? Is it lucrative?

“Well I mean, I’m a special type of commander, so I would say it’s pretty well-paid; though I mostly stay where everyone I command is because......I’m honestly used to them a lot more than I’m used to the general public. Family comes to visit during holidays or my birthday anyways.”

“.........Us ships are cared for by the organization that has us, I think. And we care for each other. That being said, we were paid a bit to give us money we could spend. Not as much as the non-ships working however.”

“This is also why I stay with everyone; I get paid less so the gap isn’t as big; you guys go through a lot.”

Has the type of world your character lives in claimed anyone they loved? How do they cope with it?

“It claimed my eldest sister; but she died remaining true to herself. Which is ironic, because I almost died to the Sirens out of a desire to die as a Battleship instead of accepting the conversion to a Carrier....But honestly, I fear Amagi was dying anyways....Though it sounds like you found a way to have her return somehow, Vallite...?”

“Yeah, I don’t fully understand it; I remind her to be careful, but she seems stable now, if still a bit sickly. As for anyone it claimed from me.....” Vallite just gestures to Kaga. “I coped by just trying to distract myself from it until I could finally accept it. Though a desire to locate you was born when I learned that ships could be restored and retrieved from the Sirens. At least Akagi gave me your oldest mask under the promise I wouldn’t lose it.”

Does your character feel any connection with the land/country they were born in, what sort of connection?

“I feel strongly tied to it, but I was born and raised there, and it’s where my mother is from, I think.”

“It’s where I was made.....And I have a sense of loyalty to my fellow ships of the Sakura Empire; the First Carrier Division is a symbol of our strength.”

“Oh dear gods, you and Akagi both need to remember that that was in the past. Mostly because I don’t need that kind of arrogance in my fleet.”

Does your character buy into destinies, fate, or prophecies? Why or why not?

“Not really....The will of the strong trumps that I think.”

“I don’t know, I like the idea that we were destined to meet again, Kaga. Like star crossed lovers; fitting given that I found myself against the forces you had to obey.”

“......Ok, the will of the strong normally trumps it; but one exception can be made for that. Though I can’t remember much about that either; I like your idea.”

Is there something commonplace in their kingdom or world that your character absolutely despises?

“You fuckers got controlled by the Sirens somehow, and I had to deal with the Fifth Carrier Division’s rivalry fueled comments a lot. At least I was able to locate and restore Amagi and have her be my flagship; and have someone to vent to. Sign language is fucking hard to teach.”

“......Why do you know the sign language way of swearing. And why did you teach me it.”

“Hey, if I ever get to the stage where I can say things like Crescent’s lady says to one of her husbands, I will have good use of the word ‘fuck’.”

Has your character experienced war or conflict, directly or indirectly how did it effect them?

“Hey I think we have found why Kaga is so focused on strength.”

“Hey! Though it might be why.....You ended up having to leave your homeland due to the war, right?”

“Yes; but I’m fine so long as I’m near the ocean. I’m always near it, at least until I was summoned here. I miss swimming in the sea....”

“We can go to the beach soon if you want? Me, you, and Kana; it would be nice to spend time together, given who he seems to be related to.”

“That would be nice. We have to find swimwear first, but let’s do that soon.”

What does your character fear most in their world?

“......Kaga, am I allowed to keep a secret? I don’t want to admit my largest fear....Though the second one is losing anyone in my family, but especially you or Kana.”

“Vallite, strength means to overcome your fea-.......I will do my best to never make you relive that fear. And please, do not fall; though if you do, I will avenge you. But I would say share what you fear the most.”

“.....It might involve a lie. One that has lasted years.”

“That could also count as a strength if you can keep it up for years. But I won’t be mad, I promise.”

“Alright; I greatly fear what might happen if anyone finds out what I am. I don’t want to be treated different because I’m a Drago-”

“Wait what?!”

“This is why I ask to keep it secret; I didn’t want to drop tha-”

Vallite gets stopped by Kaga grabbing her hands.

“.....It’s fine. It explains your appearance changing little over the years. But promise one thing....Do show me your dragon form after this; I want to see the strength you hid from sight.”

Of the fantastical elements in their world what does your character actually find strange, or hard to believe?

“Your kind doesn’t seem to exist.”

“We hide really well. Same can possibly be said for kitsunes, if they remain. But my family are dragons too, so you will get to meet some more once we can return to our world. And there’s.....at least six foxes in the Sakura Empire’s set of ships. That’s more foxes than water lizards.”

Does your character believe in hard, definable good and evils?

“I only believe in the will of the strong.....but I do feel the weak should be allowed to become strong.”

“Oh good, you are learning to be more gentle, dear.”

Any unique traditions where your character is from that wouldn’t work or apply in the real world?

“Kaga prays to Inari; I have seen it. Same with her sisters.”

“And you pay tribute to the seas....”

“That’s for your sake, not mine; you are trespassing, I’m not.”

“Anyways, we are done now; care to explain the dragon thing more now?”

“Fine, though you know most of my past, just it was abridged since it lasted a lot longer than I admitted to. Guess I can fill you in on everything else; though I need to train you to be able to deploy alongside support in the form of a dragon using salvaged battleship cannons.....”

“....You are truly stronger than I knew....”

She Who is Bound to Silence

Heca isn’t too sure about how to feel about this Corrin she summoned.

On one hand, she looks like Crescent, the Corrin she had already befriended, just with a different outfit fit for a songstress.

On the other hand, she hasn’t heard a single word from the dragon, and she has such a sad look in her eyes.

Instead of trying to dig for information, Heca decides to give the golden dragon some space, makes sure she has a comfortable room to retreat to. Even then, no one can get the Corrin to say a word, and when they get her to write instead, she writes few words, sticking to basic things, like asking for tactics or for directions to places.

After a couple of weeks of this, Heca finds a lone mask sitting outside in the gardens many heroes relax in, close to a pond, likely accidentally forgotten earlier in the day when she called all of her heroes for a meeting to discuss how to defeat the King of Muspell. The Manakete looked over the mask, noting that it was of a fox, and was painted a deep blue with gold and white details.

“This.....is likely missed; but whose mask is this? No one here wears a fox mask...” Heca mumbled, gently putting the mask into one of her cloak pockets before continuing on with what she was actually doing; someone would come looking for it eventually and likely ask her about it, right...?

-----------------

The Golden Dragon had gone to the meeting and then left to go back to her own room without noticing, but very quickly afterwards, she realized that she was missing a special mask she normally kept in her room. She mentally scolded herself for even taking it out, now that she lost it; even though she took it out with her to the gardens simply because she wanted to take a walk down memory lane....

She made an annoyed sound once she actually checked the garden, not finding any sign of the missing mask, and just heading back to her room. She promised Akagi that if she gave her that mask, that she wouldn’t lose it.... Well, at least the kitsune can’t find out while the dragon is still here.

Speaking of Akagi....The dragon quickly made sure her door was locked before digging in her drawers for a unfamiliar device to all but her and the summoner; a phone. She could generally get lucky enough to be able to send a couple of messages to her world. She needed to.

She was a commander after all.

She sat down on her bed and began to check to see what messages those under her gave her during the day. They all knew she left a couple of people in charge, but she was still messaged plenty during the day. She smiled at the messages though, despite the fact it meant she had to think over this sort of thing without physically seeing it; partly she liked being relied on. Partly she liked the fact she got a lot of them to call her something over than ‘Commander’.

‘Vallite, we are running low on skill books; should we order more?’ A yes for sure; with a side note to make sure they also make sure the equipment and food stocks are at good levels.

‘Should we scout out multiple areas?’ Of course; she makes a note for them to check where they recovered Akagi at least once in case anything new can be recovered.

‘Should we continue with the retrofits for Laffey and Ayanami?’ Oh, she must ask how long until those are complete; those two are some of the best ships she has recovered, so she does want to make sure she can help them become strong.

‘Vallite’, as her allies and friends back home called her, just continued to smile at all the messages; besides the questions given, the chat server they used to communicate also had a channel just to post supportive messages for each other; a fair number were encouragement for Vallite since she was stuck in an unfamiliar place, but a lot were also for the different groups, or ‘fleets’, going out.

She would of stopped from reading to continue her search for that missing mask if she didn’t notice she had a direct message from what was basically her current flagship, Amagi. So instead, she decided to see what she wanted first before leaving her phone alone again.

‘Crescent, are you alright? The others told me that you haven’t been talking much.’ Ah, she was just making sure the dragon was alright; it made Vallite happy to know someone wanted to make sure she was alright.

‘I’m fine, Amagi. I’m getting more quiet as I feel like you guys are settling into a routine while I’m still gone. And I have been busy. But I’ll be fine. Feel free to message me if you want, my dear friend.’

She waited for the kitsune to respond for a moment, before setting her phone aside to continue her search, missing the message that was in reply to her.

‘Do make sure to rest, Crescent; don’t want to end up dying before you can see my sister again. And don’t worry, we have gotten a good routine set up for until your return. Hopefully you don’t end up making anyone wait for you, given that you have us check for where Kaga might be recovered sometimes.’

----------

Heca had retired to her room, writing down some possible new spells onto pieces of paper for later testing, with the lost fox mask sitting on her desk alongside all her papers The Hellish Summoner’s focus only broke when she heard a knock on her door, followed by silence for a few moments, and then another knock.

“The door’s unlocked! Come in!”

The summoner didn’t even look up for her papers as she heard her door open and close, nor as she heard footsteps. Only when she saw a gloved hand reach out and take the mask she had sitting on her desk did she turn to look at the Hero who entered. The Corrin herself was looking over the mask, before looking....relieved.

“Is that yours?”

The Corrin nodded, turning to leave now that she found what she was looking for, before feeling the Summoner grab her arm.

“Hey, stay for a bit; I’m curious about you. And don’t worry; I got paper.”

The dragon stood there for a moment, before nodding and taking a seat on Heca’s bed, accepting the paper and pen the Summoner handed her.

“Now.....What’s your name?”

‘Crescent Shimizu. But many call me Vallite, which I would prefer.’

“Alright.....Nice to finally know a name for you, Vallite. Now....Why are you so quiet?”

‘I can’t speak without hurting my throat. It’s always been like that; I envy Lady Crescent and her ability to speak, but I’m used to finding other ways to get my point across.’

“Oh.....That explains a lot. Hopefully your fellow Heroes don’t mind it much; you might get along with a friend of mine, he likes being quiet, so maybe you can find a way to do a silent conversation with him. Now....What’s with the mask?” Heca gestured to the fox mask Vallite had in her lap. “I have never seen you wear anything like that.”

The dragon stared at the paper for a while before starting to write finally. ‘It’s a memento of someone I loved. I never got a chance to tell her such while I still could, but one of her sisters told me to never lose this mask so I always have a way to remember her. Her sister said that she thinks she loved me back, but I sadly could never ask the woman herself.’

“Oh, a lost love......I hope you find her again; maybe I’ll summon her, and then you can give her a big ol’ smooch.”

‘No?? Kaga would likely punch me if I just suddenly kissed her! Though, giving her a kiss isn’t bad sounding...’

“I was kidding, don’t worry, but you really should consider admitting your feelings if you see her again.”

‘Not sure on that; Kaga was always wanting to be strong, and felt that if you wanted something, you better make sure you are strong enough to earn it. Not sure how strong she would see someone who can’t speak at all.’

“....Girl. You are as physically strong as Crescent. And seem to be a full dragon; I think you are plenty strong enough to sweep that woman you love off her feet. And you can turn into a dragon; if your human form ain’t strong enough to impress, turn into a dragon and show off your power.”

Vallite let out a weak laugh before writing her response. ‘I don’t think that is how kitsunes court each other, but ok then.’

“Oh hell yeah, that is how you impress a beast; you show that you are strong, that you would be a good mate and would make good offspring. Appeal to her primal side as well as her gentler side.”

‘Yeah, I think I will stick to my own way, but thank you, Heca.’

“Oh, calling me just Heca?”

‘I hate being called ‘Commander’ back where I’m from, I assumed you hated being called Summoner. Please, do not think I’m disrespecting you.’

Heca just gets a big grin on her face and laughs. “Oh, I love it! A mutual respect between leaders! Wait, if you are a commander......Say, can you provide me any tips?”

‘I don’t want to keep you distracted for long; or use up too much of your paper or ink.’

“It’s fine! Besides, I can keep them as notes after.”

‘If you say so. Well....My first tip is to make sure you get to know all who are under you at least a bit, and make sure they know that you are there as both a commander and friend; at least, that’s how I handle my fleets. My allies might be seen as weapons by some, but first and foremost, before they are my allies in battle, they are people just like myself.’

“Oh, making sure you know how your allies are as people!”

The two spend a good part of the night talking about how to lead effectively....

--------

A few days later....

Heca was making a quick summon just at random, wanting to see if she got lucky. “Ok, how about......this one; hopefully I get one of those beasts finally.....”

The Summoner loaded the orb into the summongun, before firing towards the stone altar to start the ritual, noticing the stone pulse before glowing. “That’s a good sign that I might of-”

The Summoner was quickly knocked over by someone just punching her at full force, before looking at the summoned Hero.

She noticed the more modern outfit, and the glare the woman bore, likely out of aggression. This might be rough......

But also she noticed.....Two white fox ears......nine white fox tails behind the woman.

A fox mask; different from the one Vallite had, but still a fox mask.

This was a kitsune, or specifically a Nine-Tails. Maybe also the one Vallite loved.

............But first, Heca would have to get this fox to obey long enough to listen to an explanation.

The fact the kitsune punched her again at full force when she tried to approach told the Summoner that this would be a long process.

#summoner Heca #Vallite #those are the only characters that interact in this that are confirmed #but the third one isn't hard to figure out #also rip Heca's pride; it was lost to a punch happy kitsune #I should make a writing tag.....
