Chapter 18 - A new dawn

The blinding rays of the sun shone brightly over the fallen city, signifying the beginning of a new day.

"I am the unknown one" the figure spoke.

Nyx suddenly felt a rush of primordial energy flow through her veins restoring her strength.

Your kind are scarce,You're an infinite being,Nyx asked as she rose up smiling,magic as truly returned to our world.

Thank you for saving me,unknown one.

Edeth's gift is truly glorious but strenuous I have survived from it twice now thanks to the night of your power.

The pleasure is mine Pauline said as honourably as she could as she knew the great history of the person she spoke to.

Nyx turned and began walking,I must go to search for Zaya, there's one last thing we must do quickly to end this war.

Pauline then smiled as she said I could take care of that,she opened a portal in the space between them and jumped in, Nyx followed.

Nyx landed in the midst of the phantom girls along with Korin and a few others who had stayed in the war.

surrounding them were thousands of thousands of warriors from the snake clan.

They had all gathered in the middle of the city.

Zaya then walked towards Nyx,she handed the golden staff in her hands to one of the snakes and hugged her, she let go of the girl.

From Nyx stature and voice she was a few years younger than Zaya.

From the aura the girl emitted she had gotten all of the memories from her time with Edeth back in the past that's how she'd become so powerful.

We have a lot to speak about, young fox.

Nyx said to Zaya,yes we do Zaya responded.

The alpha commander interrupted their conversation, "now is not the time."said Chinami.

What's going on alpha commander?

Zaya asked, Zoey's mum then spoke it turns out the Vikings weren't only here to kill the last foxes but to also steal your old staff Zaya.

it's significant in the sole reason they are tormenting the world to find the all the gems they'll need to...You left the gems!

Nyx spoke interrupting Chinami,her gaze falling on Zaya.

I thought they were destroyed by Korin Zaya defended.

The Viking must have found it in the depth of the ground Zaya thought as she remembered the when the viking had fought with her he dug the ground.

There's no cause for alarm Nyx, Chinami spoke calming Nyx down,we won the war and the Viking that took the gem is not too far away from the city.

We must go and kill him and take what is ours back said Nyx.

why are those gems so important? Zaya asked Nyx then spoke.

Gems filled with primordial energy are scattered in hidden places around the world,when put together would become a clue getting you closer to find one of the great diamond stones stolen from our clan centuries ago.

They vikings are trying to find the diamond stone of the fox clan and if they can destroy it.

It will be the final end of the fox clan as we'll never be able to reincarnate ever again.

That's correct Chinami spoke.

Zaya held a dumbfounded yet excited look on her face as she spoke then what are we waiting for let's go get that viking before he goes too far away.

You're waiting for instructions from me Chinami said rolling her eyes,Zaya, the president as promised to award all of the warriors that fought in the war,greatly.

I would like you both to know that the vikings assume you and Nyx her dead and that's the only reason they haven't come back with more of their Viking war ships.

So when you face the Viking to get back the gems,you would go as The phantom paw and the red Ninja.

I do not like that name Nyx said,hey I gave you that name, Ashara spoke complaining from behind.

Now go foxes do not die and bring me good news,Nyx and Zaya nodded their head as they stared at each other in anticipation.

Two bikes could be seen riding far away from the city on a lone empty tarred road,one with Nyx while the other with Zaya on it.

I am quite fascinated about how well the world as changed Nyx screamed to Zaya who was a few meters beside her.

Yes of course said Zaya loudly, technology is crazy, I guess it's some sort of magic the humans created after the true magic was bannished from the realm.

I sense some sort of fear in you Nyx said as she accelerated the bike's pedals riding faster,Zaya tried to catch up,what do you mean,I don't think after that traumatizing viking war I could ever feel fear again.

Not that, Nyx spoke, the fear of getting your memories that's what your afraid of Zaya.

You fear you might become a different person entirely.

Zaya went quiet as what Nyx said was true,it seemed as they were both foxes,Nyx could some how sense what she felt.

It's alright Zaya you wouldn't loose your mind you will still be you but stronger,faster,more powerful,fearless and knowledgeable.

You would be the fox you were once,centuries years ago one of Edeth's greatest allies.

There's a lot I need to learn Zaya spoke I do know of this Zaya,Nyx assured, I will tell you all you need to know all in one short story.

This should be powerful enough to bring your memories back so you can help me with the mission,What mission?

Zaya asked.

Nyx suddenly stopped her bike abruptly,what's wrong Nyx Zaya asked as Nyx got down from her bike.

Zaya also felt it the energy signature of the spike Viking she removed her helmet from her head dropping it,as she spoke.

Nyx I think it would have been better if we had brought our sword,yes it would have,Nyx spoke but nothing could feel better than fighting a spiky Viking with your bare hands right.

Zaya gulped hard this was going to hurt.
