    For what felt like forever she stayed in her dream, trying to bear the memory. However, there came a point when everything was silent. Too silent. When she opened her eyes again, she didn't recognize the scene. It wasn't anything from her memory. Below her was a large pile of ash, some lumber and misscelaneous items mixed in, and the crackle of fire all around her. Not to mention the smell of death was all around as well. This was a new horrific scene... one she hadn't scene before. The weirdest part was, she was all alone. There appeared to be nobody else around.... and it was rather unsettling.
    Looking around she eventually noticed on the outskirts of the pile of ash there was frost, frost that was slowly melting away because of the fire. '' I see....so they all died.....'' she spoke with clear sadness, though nobody was around to hear.....then she heard footsteps, and she turned to look behind her. When she did, she saw the unseelie. '' So in this dream I'm once again staring death in the eye...only this time there will be no knight in shining armor.'' she spoke once again to herself... she woke and shot up the moment before she was to be killed.

    Looking around in a bit of a panic she noticed two things- there was a four-tailed kitsune woman placing her normal attire beside her....and heinrich was gone. She was confused for a moment, before she recalled little about her dreams, but she did clearly remember her unneccsary rant against heinrich, to his face. With a frown she looked at the ground, part of her wanting to trust him but the other part of her, the fearful part, assuming the worst.'' All because of one terrible relationship...'' she muttered under her breath to herself. That's why she was so prejudiced against man. She used to simply wear whatever she thought was pretty- even if it was a bit short, or somewhat lowcut. At one point, she had even had a boyfriend, before all the persecution. The man had seemed nice at first, kind and caring, but...in the end it was just a charade. He had only wanted one thing, just because she was a kitsune. Nothing happened between them, but there was tension. He would pressure her, but each time she'd refuse. That led to a fight that ended the relationship... so now she was rather afraid of relationships, and men in general. They were pretty much doomed right now. No, definitely doomed. Yet, morals were important. To give up your morals is wrong. Yet, what could they do? They were doomed at the moment, out of options, and the only option they had she refused. Walking out of the room she didn't bother asking where heinrich was, not sure if she wanted the answer, and instead went to find a snack. Then she was informed the unseelie would likely be there at midnight.... and she forgot all about getting a snack. She then looked at a kitsune child that was nearby. The poor thing looked terrified. Sighing gently she turned to face the kitsune that had informed her of what would be happening at midnight. '' If ..if heinrich has a moment, please inform him that i would like to speak with him....'' she spoke before returning to the room she had been sleeping in, sitting on her knees.

    As he began to walk the perimeter, Heinrich took time to analyze the terrain and structures in the small kitsune refuge. It wasn't fortified, of course, but through efficient use of terrain, he might still be able to come up with some sort of strategy to assist with the defense of these creatures. It was a long shot without his own magic to rely on, but a long shot was all they had, at the moment, as he was convinced that Akira's ideals of marriage and prejudice towards men was stronger than her desire to live through the night.

    As he pointed out a potential ambush point to two younger kitsunes, he was soon approached by little kitsune girl who looked scared out of her wits, yet shyly approached him anyway. "E-excuse me..." she said hesitantly. "A-are you Heinrich? Y-your girlfriend wants to talk to you..."

    Sighing somewhat, he said, "She's not my girlfriend. By the way, do you know what time it is?"

    "I-it's the beginning of the eighth hour... on the eight hour clock, that is."

    "Thanks," he said with a nod. If it was the beginning of the eighth hour of the eight hour clock, it meant the time was around 21:00 by the 24 hour clock... or nine hours past noon. That meant there were about three hours left until the fairy attacked. He doubted the fairy would rely on human henchmen, this time, as Heinrich had made sure to kill them... and soldiers seemed unlikely as well, as they were quite far from any of the kingdom's garrisons. That left the local wildlife... and fairy beasts such as the winter wolves from earlier.. both of which could be commanded by a greater fairy.

    With these thoughts still turning in his mind, he entered the room to note the kitsune girl sitting on her knees. "Hey there," he said as he approached the young kitsune. "You might want to cover that," he indicated the gap in her clothing that came naturally between her knees as she sat on them. It was his attempt to be considerate, rather than attempting to sneak a peak, as he figured the girl was still mad at him.

    Settling himself down in front of the kitsune, he fixed a neutral gaze on her. "The little fox girl said you wanted to speak to me..." he said. "What about?"

    It had been a bit sense she'd sent the kitune girl to find heinrich, but she didn't question it. To her relief though, Heinrich did eventually show, and he appeared to be acting somewhat more considerate than normal. However, she hesitated as he asked what she wanted to talk about, shifting how she was sitting in the meantime.
    '' I....wanted to apologize, for my uncalled for anger.''' she stated after a moment's hesitation, avoiding eye contact. '' It was wrong, and I shouldn't of taken it out on you. I...admit that i am rather prejudiced. However, I promise you I have my reasons....'' she spoke before taking a deep breath. '' .....Once upon a time, I was engaged. About a year before my home was burned to the ground. At first, the guy I was to be wed to seemed nice and friendly. Perfectly caring....but he changed. He started to get more and more pushy about things..and I refused to give up my morals... and I came home one night to find another woman there. We fought about it. It didn't end well, and we called off the engagement... So i apologize that you had to pay for my frustration about the whole ordeal.'' with a sigh she stood up and walked over to him, pressing her forehead against his and taking his face in her hands. '' If you truly do care for me as me, not for anything else...and if your offer still stands...I will agree to marry you. I'm sure there's some formal traditional clothes around here, and I'm also sure at least someone here is licensed to marry people. '' she paused, her eyes closed. '' These people might die because we ventured here. I don't want to see that happen.''

    The knight sat before the kitsune girl, listening as she spoke her apology. Without interrupting her, he listened as she spoke of her past, frowning a bit as she did so. The thought of her having been engaged before didn't sit well with him, as it meant he would forever be compared to her ex, just as she had already done in assuming he was so similar. According to what she had said earlier, however, she hadn't gone... too far, at least, with the jerk who had betrayed her. So perhaps there was still a chance...

    "I see...." he remarked. "I am not your ex. So from now on, don't ever compare me to him, or assume that since he acted a certain way, that I will act the same. I should apologize as well, however... part of my training as a knight is in how to deal with stressful situation without succumbing to fear or panic. In that sense, I am... not always the best at expressing my emotions, and may at times suggest a course of action without giving adequate explanation."

    "Truthfully, I do care for you, however," he said. "Circumstances require me to keep a level head at the moment... but please don't think that means my feelings aren't real. While scouting the perimeter, I rejected the advances of no fewer than three kitsune girls, if that helps to assure you. While I'm afraid I can't offer you the wedding of your dreams at the moment... perhaps a year from now, at our anniversary, we will be in a better position to do so."

    Reaching a hand out, he gently took hers. "We don't have much time, however. Three hours to perform the wedding, consummate it, and prepare our defenses. You left my dream before Sylphy explained that the Unseelie prefer to attack at midnight, when their power is strongest. Is it alright with you if we move with haste, in order to save as many lives as possible?"

    She nodded at his words, frowning. '' I understand... I promise I will do my best not to compare you to, or assume that you are like him.....''' she stated before looking up at him. '' However, I request that you attempt to work on expressing your emotions more, and provide me adequate explanations when there's time. ''

    However, hearing him say he rejected the other kitsunes calmed her a bit, knowing she could trust him. As for the wedding, even if it couldn't be perfect now, she supposed she could make do with having a nicer wedding at a later date. Granted they were both still alive at a later date.....

    '' So i've heard.....one of the younger kitsune informed me of the situation.....''' she spoke sadly, clearly not fond of the fact that the Unseelie would be arriving so quick. '' I understand the need to move with haste..... but I would at least like to find a decent outfit to wear for the ceremony. I would much rather not get married in the outfit I am in now....I would also prefer to see you in something a bit nicer for the ceremony as well.''

    The knight gazed at the fox girl, nodding at request. "Understood," he said. "Once time permits, I'll give you as much explanation as you desire. And if you ever feel in doubt of my emotions, ask me instead of making assumptions. As much as you've pledged to protect me, I'll make sure to take care of you, and ensure your safety and well-being."

    Standing up, he offered the girl a hand to help her to her feet as well. "I don't really have any formal attire," he remarked. "Just armor, really. But there's a chance some of the kitsunes may have something to your liking. I like the way your sorceress outfit looks on you, though I understand your desire for more formal clothing to suit the occasion. Let's hope hope our hosts have something that will suffice."

    Taking his hand, he led the girl out in search of someone to perform the ceremony. It wasn't long until the nine-tailed elder found them, a slight frown on his face as he instantly noted their energy level was still far too low for the upcoming battle. "It seems you have yet to perform the ritual..." he noted. "Shall I have some of the other kitsune girls tend to your needs?"

    Ignoring the hint of having more than one such girl, the knight shook his head. "We're looking for someone to perform a wedding ceremony. And some formal clothing for it," the knight remarked.

    "Ah..." the kitsune said with a nod. "I see. As an elder, I am authorized to perform such a ceremony in the name of our mother goddess, Inari. We have little time, but I shall ensure the bride is properly prepared for the ceremony. You may return to your room, Akira, and I'll send someone to help you prepare for the ceremony. Sir knight, you will come with me."

    With a shrug, the knight released Akira's hand. "Guess it's one of those not seeing each other before the ceremony things. I'll see you soon though," he remarked, heading off alone with the elder. He assumed he would be wearing one of the traditional kimonos of the kitsune culture to the ceremony... not the sort of thing he would normally wear, but this was all for the sake of the girl, rather than for his own benefit.

    She nodded at his words, gingerly taking his hand when he offered it to her to stand up. '' Then I suppose once all is said and done, and times are calm, we need to get you some formal and casual clothing then. I would imagine armor gets rather uncomfortable after some time''

    With that she walked with him, keeping a light hold on his hand the entire time. None the less, even though Heinrich rejected the elder's offer, she narrowed her eyes slightly at the elder's comment, her tail twitching in annoyance. The other kitsunes, by gosh, they were going to be the death of her. Granted, that would be if the fairy didn't kill everyone first.

    Though she bowed respectful after the elder kitsune said he would help them with the wedding, letting go of heinrich's hand as she was told to return to the room. '' Very well. I shall see you soon enough, Heinrich.'' she stated, narrowing her eyes slightly. '' but I swear if you are wearing a single piece of armor at the alter, the wedding is off.'' she then smiled sweetly at him before returning to her room, a few kitsunes that had overheard the conversation trailing after her.

    Heinrich noted how the elder kitsune began headed to a different residence, chuckling at the words of Akira as they warned him not to wear armor. "I'll keep that in mind," he said, waving goodbye to her before following after him. This time, however, he was less pleased with being separated from the girl, even knowing it was only temporarily, as the preparations were hastily made to prepare the wedding.

    It was about a half hour before he was told to make his way to the ceremony, though his own preparation had only taken a few minutes. He was provided a traditional kimono of the kitsune people, and the fact that it had an opening in the back for several tails which he lacked proved that it was borrowed from someone else, but it would have to do. He felt quite out of place in this garment, however, but the ceremony was for the sake of Akira more than for his own benefit.

    He stood before an altar to the kitsune mother goddess, Inari, as he heard the young musician play some sort of instrument that he didn't recognize. Glancing back, he noted the younger kitsunes bringing a beautiful two-tailed teen fox with them, noting how they had improved the appearance of Akira quite a bit in the short time they had available to them to prepare her for her wedding.

    When she finally reached the room she had been in only a short time ago, the kitsunes trailing her wasted no time getting started. A few of the ones around her age took care of her hair and makeup, one even going to find her an outfit, while a few younger runs ran amuck trying to find wild flower within the perimeter of the establishment. They returned soon enough, wielding a mix of various wild flowers. (and a few dandelions, which are technically weeds, but she wouldn't complain. It was the thought and effort that counted.) Besides, they'd somehow managed to find foxglove flowers. She actually needed those to sustain her war beast form.

    Only a short bit later one of the other kitsunes returned bearing a white and silver kimono for her to wear. Having just been released from hair and makeup, she slipped on the kimono, her ''assistants'' helping with the kimono's accesories and what not. After about ten minutes more she was finished, and the kitsune that had helped her were told to escort her to the ceremony.

    when she got there, she couldn't help but chuckle at how heinrich looked out of place in a kimono. maybe when they have their fancier, less-rushed anniversary wedding, it'd have to be a mix of human and kitsune culture. He honestly looked utterly rediculous, but it wasn't a bad thing. It was amusing, so it helped calm her nerves a bit. '' Fancy seeing you here. It's been a while, has it not?'' she joked lightly once she reached the end of the isle.

    Knowing he looked out of place in the traditional kitsune garment, Heinrich stood awkwardly as the fox was shown towards him. His gaze fell upon her, however, and he couldn't stop looking at her. Whatever the girls had done to Akira, she looked even better than usual, though he figured it was mostly due to the hair and makeup that she was wearing... the sort of thing she didn't normally have while running for her life, for obvious reasons.

    As she came close enough and spoke to him, he couldn't help but chuckle at her words. "It's been so long... wasn't sure I'd ever see you again," he joked back to her, before turning his attention towards the nine-tailed fox that was in charge of the ceremony. The language that he spoke wasn't one that he had studied extensively... he recognized it as an ancient dialect used by Kitsunes, and could distinguish the name "Inari" used several times... a goddess of foxes, fertility, and alcohol, all of which seemed suitable for this particular situation.

    He kept his gaze focused on the beautiful kitsune as the words more or less washed over him, and when a question was directed at him, he said, "Uh... Hai," figuring it meant yes to whatever question the kitsune was asking. After a similar question was asked to Akira, he gave the fox time to respond, before wrapping an arm around her waist, pulling her close and kissing her deeply.

    Eventually, he paused to breath, whispering, "What did I just agree to, anyway?"
