  The Other Realm is your home now. You do not want to go back to the way things used to be. Almost as if the fairy pool can read your mind, it begins to disappear. Tomas appears over your shoulder. You look up and realize that him and Kitsune were the reason you stayed. You realize that you care deeply for Kitsune and Tomas. They was always there for you throughout your journey in the fox clan. They are like brothers to you.
  
  "Was that a fairy pool?" Tomas asks, bewildered.
  
  "Yes." You say.
  
  "I thought that was what you've been waiting for, a chance to go home."
  
  You turn around and face him, taking his hands in yours.
  
  "I wanted to go home at first, but then I found a family here with you and Kitsune and knew I had to stay."
  
  Tomas smiles widely and pulls you in for a hug.
  
  "I'm so happy you stayed. You are my family too."
  
  You both stay there in each others arms until you hear Kitsune yell, "Hey! I think I found something!"
  
  You and Tomas run over to where Kitsune is.
  
  "Look at this." He says.
  
  He picks up a large rock and chucks it at the waterfall. To your surprise you hear it hit stone and echo, as if there was an empty space behind the waterfall.
  
  Kitsune laughs. "Tricky little fawn."
  
  You all charge through the waterfall, Kitsune at the lead. On the other side, a woman with long white hair and decorated antlers stands, wearing a soaking white gown.
  
  Kitsune snarls at her. "Why did you break the peace, you idiot. You do realize we will kill your entire clan now, don't you?"
  
  "Break the peace? What the hell are you talking about?" She looks surprised at Kitsune's accusations.
  
  "Don't pretend that you don't know what you did. You collapsed our tunnels and killed our people!"
  
  The woman's eyes widen in realization. "Oh no." She whispers to herself.
  
  "Oh no what?" Kitsune asks, still with fury in his eyes.
  
  "Our clan members who patrolled the woods had said they had seen small animals ripped apart, patches of bloddy wolf fur and teeth throughout the forest, but I didn't think it could be true. It must have been the wolf clan who collapsed your tunnels."
  
  You have no idea what she is talking about. You knew nothing of a wold clan. You believed there was only a fawn clan and a fox clan.
  
  "Wait, theres a wolf clan?" You ask.
  
  "There was." Kitsune tell you. "Our warriors wiped them out years ago."
  
  "It seems you did not wipe out all of them, Kitsune." The fawn woman says.
  
  "How do I know you're not lying, Emerald?"
  
  Emerald reaches into her pocket and pulls out a piece of fur and a yellow tooth.
  
  "See for yourself." One of my patrols found this about a month ago."
  
  Kistune snatches the fur and tooth out of her hands and examines it. Tomas looks over Kitsune's shoulder and studies it too. Kitsune looks at Tomas. "Go call our warriors back. Emerald is telling the truth, the fawn had no part in the tunnel tragedy." Tomas runs out of the waterfall and everyone else follows. Back outside, You, Emerald, and Kitsune sit in the grass while Tomas runs up the trail and shifts into a fox.
  
  Kitsune turns to you. "I guess we will have to start hunting down the wolf clan."
  
  You look at Kitsune and Emerald. You realize that this could be an opportunity to make peace between the clans. You think about proposing that the two clans join together to hunt the wolves. You aren't sure if you should say anything though because the fawn and fox clan have been enemies for ages. Some things can never change. The looks of absolute hatred you saw in Kitsune's and Emerald's eyes earlier makes you question your idea.
  
  Do you want to say anything?
  
  > hold your tongue
  You decide not to say anything. Emerald and Kitsune would probably just laugh at the suggestion. In the end, Emerald agrees not to pose a counter attack on the fox clan as long as the fox clan took the job of wiping out the wolf clan. Tomas comes back to tell you that the fox warriors have retreated and are heading back to the fox hole. You and Kitsune leave with Tomas and go back to the fox hole. As you walk away from Emerald you can feel her eyes burning on your back. While you have negotiated a ceasefire, The fox clan and the fawn clan will always still hate each other.
  
  > A Family of Killers - Epilogue
  You team up with the fawn clan to finish off the wolf clan but it's difficult to work with them. They are all pretty snobby and treat the fox clan like dirt. However, you have to ignore this and focus on the real enemy. The wolf clan is vicious and unpredicatbale. They don't fight with weapons like your clan or the fawn clan, but with their teeth and claws. They are a gruesome clan who wears animal teeth around their necks and painted tribal designs on themselves in blood.
  
  It takes you a while to take out the wolves. You, Kitsune, and Tomas make a team together and ambush the wolves in the night. A few other fox clan members have their own teams and do this as well. You do this every night until their numbers thin out. Then you leave the rest of it to the fawns.
  
  You live happily in the fox hole with Kitsune and Tomas. They are like brothers to you. When you are not running the library and training the warriors, you spend every minute with them. You wouldn't trade this life for anything. Staying in the Other Realm was the best decision you ever made.
