  You decide to walk through the pit of snakes. You slowly lower yourself into the pit. The snakes come up to your hips. You slowly walk though the masses of snakes, making sure not to step on them. The last thin you want to do is anger them. It is slow going and you are almost petrified with fear, but eventually you make it to the other side of the pit. You pull yourself out and catch your breath.
  
  Once you are finally calm, you continue down the tunnel. You walk farther and farther down and almost crash into something. From what little you can see, it appears to be a pedestal, with a dagger resting on the top. You pick up the dagger, clenching it tightly in your hand.
  
  You walk for what seems like an hour when you hear a voice.
  
  "Come closer, you're almost done."
  
  You follow the sound of the voice. You continue walking until you see yourself standing in front of you. Behind her there is a staircase leading upward, the way out of the tunnel.
  
  Your Doppelganger smiles evilly at you. "The only way you're getting through me to that staircase is over my dead body!"
  
  You grip the dagger in your hand. Over her dead body...
  
  You could just simply stab her and walk up the staircase, but something doesn't feel right. You think to yourself, should I stab her or figure out another way past her?
  
  > think of something else
  You decide not to stab her. It seemed like a bad idea to you. As you wrack your brain for other options, she notices the dagger in your hand.
  
  "Oh, so you're going to stab me? Go on, do it." She taunts you.
  
  "I'm not going to stab you." You say.
  
  She looks taken back by that. Suddenly, her demeanor changes. She no longer looks so dark and evil, but rather she has a normal expression on her face.
  
  "It is a wise decision not to stab me because I am you. You can never fully get rid of your dark parts, they are always there. The secret is not to kill your darkness but rather to choose the good over the evil. You chose not to kill me. Remember me, though, because I will always be with you, in the back corner of your mind. I am you, embrace it."
  
  With, that she turns to dust before your eyes. The dagger magically disappears from your hand and you begin to walk up the stairs. You finally made it through you're trials. As you get closer and closer to the top of the stairs, you feel stronger than you did before. You feel like you are ready to face anything.
  
  > The end of the journey
  You reach the top if the stairs. At the top, you enter a cave with wet glistening walls. One side of the cave is open and a cascade of water flows over it. You realize you are on the other side of the waterfall you saw before in the grotto. You walk over to the flowing water and step through it. You hold your chin high. You did it! You made it through the tunnel.
  
  On the other side of the waterfall, you look down into a clear pool of water and see white antlers growing out of you forehead. You smile.You are now part of the fawn clan. You stare at your reflection for a long time. As you stare, another figure comes into focus behind your reflection. You turn around and see Rowan smiling at you. You jump into his arms and wrap your legs around him. You both laugh and enjoy the feeling of success and victory.
  
  "You look so beautiful with antlers." Rowan says. "Do you want to try them out?"
  
  You nod. "Focus on your body shifting into a fawn. It's really easy to do."
  
  You focus and imagine your body morphing into a fawn. Your body follows your command and you shift into a fawn. Your new body feels different, but not strange. You feel as if you were always meant to be a fawn and you don't feel awkward or clumsy and you try walking around in your new form. You feel free.
  
  Rowan also shifts into a fawn. You are excited to run free as a fawn and you take off into the woods with Rowan following. You sprint past trees, bushes, and boulders. You fly through the woods with Rowan at your side. The feeling of your graceful yet quick pace is exhilarating. You and Rowan run around for hours until you find yourself back at Willow Haven.
  
  You both dash through the sweep of willow vines and shift back into human form. Shifting back is just as easy as shifting into the fawn. You and Rowan both laugh, elated from your first shift. You turn towards each other and lean in to kiss. Before your lips meet, Your antlers get tangled. You both laugh.
  
  "I guess I still have to get used to these." You say.
  
  Rowan smiles and lifts you up into his arms. He proceeds to carry you all the way up to your tree house, walking up the rope bridges without difficulty despite your weight. As he carries you, the events in the tunnel catch up to you and you can barely keep your eyes open. You fall asleep a few times in his arms, but jerk awake after a few seconds.
  
  He carries you and lays you down on the bed. He climb in with you and wraps his arms around you. You sigh contently and fall asleep in his arms.
  
  > First day as a fawn
  You wake up in the morning. You feel Rowan breathing slowly next to you. He is still asleep. You try to get out of bed silently so you don't wake him, but you accidentally brush against him. He mumbles something and slowly wakes up. He sits up in bed and smiles at you. You smile back.
  
  "Good morning." He says.
  
  You yawn and say good morning back. Rowan hops out of your bed and walks over to you.
  
  "I bet you were hoping for a bit of a break before starting the next part of your training."
  
  You yawn again and rub your eyes. "I didn't even know there was a next part of my training. I thought I would be able to sleep in everyday from now on."
  
  Rowan laughs. "I would want nothing more than to sleep in with you, but we have to start your training today."
  
  You blush as Rowan moves towards the door.
  
  "We are going to be doing combat training." Rowan continues, "You are going to learn the ways of hand-to-hand fighting and how to use a bow."
  
  "Why do I have to learn to fight?" You ask.
  
  Rowan looks at you as he opens the door of your tree house.
  
  "While we are in an age of peace right now with the fox clan, we do not know how long that will last. Everyone in fawn clan are skilled warriors because we need those skills to survive."
  
  You nod solemnly. Rowan leads you out of the tree house and up a rope bridge. You walk side by side and chat with Rowan, and you loose track of where you are going. It takes you a while to realize that you are going back to the tree house where you did your training for the journey in the tunnel.
  
  "We are starting with hand-to-hand combat. Once you have mastered that, we will move to archery. After that there will be a test where your skills you have learned are evaluated."
  
  "Okay." You say, determined. "Let's start."
  
  > Hand-to-hand combat training
  Rowan teaches you everything you need to know about hand-to-hand combat. You spend hours upon hours in the tree house perfecting your skills. It takes you about two weeks, but by the end of your hand-to-hand training, you are practically a master. Rowan seems impressed with your skills and you even beat him a few times when you fight each other.
  
  Hand-to-hand combat comes easily to you. You feel strength in your movements and you soon become quick and agile. When you first came to the Other Realm, you were weak. Your life at home was not spent going to the gym for long hours. You are not used to this much exercise and for the first few days you leave training feeling absolutely exhausted. However, by the end of the training you have more stamina and are able to hold your own in a fight.
  
  > Archery
  Once Rowan has felt you have mastered hand-to-hand combat, he tells you that you will be starting your archery training. The morning you begin your archery training, Rowan takes you down the very bottom of Willow Haven and over to the archery range. You see many members of the fawn clan practicing their skills with their bows and arrows. You feel a bit self-conscious because you do not want to embarrass yourself in front of these skilled warriors, but you will not let that come in between you and your training.
  
  "Before we begin our training, you get to pick out a bow and a quiver of arrows for yourself. It would take ages to find one that would be the right fit for you if we went up to the armory tree houses and looked at all the options we have, so I brought down three I though would suit you. You can pick any one you want."
  
  Rowan gestures to a short wooden table with three beautiful sets of bows and arrows. You walk over to it and study them.
  
  The first bow is made of a silvery-looking wood and is very long. The arrows have bright red feathers at the ends of them and silver heads that look dangerously sharp. The quiver is made of black leather that has images of birds flying and others perched on branches pressed into it.
  
  The second bow is a bit shorter that the first and is made of a darker wood with symbols carved into it. Rowan explains that they are runes of good luck. The arrows have black feathers and three green beads at the end of the shaft. The quiver is a plain, slightly worn tan leather cylinder with sturdy looking straps.
  
  The third bow is the shortest of the three. It is made of a white flexible wood and has been pained with blue swirling marks. The arrows are completely white, made with white wood and feathers. The arrows even have white stone heads that look very sharp. The quiver is made of white leather and has the face of a fawn pressed into it.
  
  They are all very beautiful, but unfortunately, you can only pick one.
  
  Which one do you choose?
  
  > The first bow
  You select the first bow and pick it up. You think that the quiver is absolutely gorgeous, but also looks study. The bow and arrows, while they do have some decoration to them, are not excessive. You are happy with your decision.
  
  You look over at Rowan. He seems to approve of your choice as well. He brings you over to a target a distance away from the other fawn practicing and points to a target.
  
  "The farther we move along in your training, the farther away that target is going to move. Then we will move on to moving targets. But first we will be starting with the basics."
  
  Rowan teaches you how to stand, how to pull back your bow, and many other basic points of shooting. You find that you are a natural and have no problem hitting a bulls eye on your first shot.
  
  As you move further along in the training, Rowan makes it more difficult to hit the target, but you always manage to achieve it quickly. You find yourself getting stronger and even though by the end each day your arms are aching, you know it is all worth it.
  
  You spend about 3 weeks learning how to use the bow and arrow. The number of ways Rowan teaches you to kill and wound with the bow and arrow seem never ending. By the end of the three weeks you match and even surpass Rowans' abilities. He tells you that it has been a long time since he has seen someone who is that gifted with a bow.
  
  Learning the art of archery has made you more confident. The bow and arrow that now belongs to you is on you at all times. Rowan is amazed with your skill. You feel like a warrior.
  
  > Testing your skills
  Today is the day you will be tested on your fighting skills. You pace back in forth in your tree house, humming with nervous energy. You jump when you hear a knock on the door and rush to answer it. On the other side is Emerald. You are suprised because you thought Rowan would be picking you up.
  
  "Hello little fawn." Emerald greets you. "Come with me, I will be leading your test today."
  
  "Where's Rowan?" You ask.
  
  "He will not be present during your tests my dear." She explains. "His opinion of your performance would be... biased, to say the least."
  
  You blush. Emerald escorts you out of your tree house and walks you down to the archery range. Emerald's white hair shines in the sunlight as you walk from rope bridge to rope bridge. She is wearing a long white robe with long billowing sleeves. She looks like a medieval princess.
  
  As you reach the archery range Emerald speaks.
  
  "Now we will have a simple archery test. There will four targets set up. One is set very far down the range." She points to a target quite a far distance away from you. "Two of them are moving targets." She gestures to the moving targets to your right. "The last one is hidden. Find it and hit it. This is to test your abilities to find threats before they can hurt you. Good luck."
  
  You pull an arrow out from your quiver and grip your bow.
  
  "You may begin." Emerald says.
  
  You immediately spring into action and draw back your bow and let an arrow fly. It hits the dead center of the far away target. You then run over to the movie targets. One is larger than the other and moves back and forth on the ground. You hit that one once again right in the center, then ready another arrow for the smaller one up in the air moving in all directions. This one is a bulls eye too. All of this was done in the span of a few heart beats. Time seemed to slow down in the heat of your test. But now you must find the fourth target, and quickly, or you could fail the test.
  
  You figure it could be hidden in the nearby willow tree or to your left towards the bonfire pit.
  
  Where do you want to look?
  
  > look towards the bonfire pit
  You look towards the bonfire pit and scan the area. It only takes you a split second to realize there is no target there. It probably doesn't effect your time because you only looked there for a second, but you still feel worried that having made the wrong choice could hurt you.
  
  > look towards the nearby tree
  You look over to the tree and search it's branches. You scour through the tree and just when you think it is not there, you see the target nestled into a shaded willow tree branch. The tree that the target is located on is very far away and you have to strain to see the center of the target. You draw your bow and take a moment to aim, unlike before when you could just let your arrow fly and be confident it would hit the center. You exhale and release the string. The arrow flies through the air and embeds itself deep into the center of the target
  
  You did it!
  
  > Part 2 of the test
  Emerald turns to you.
  
  "Well done." She says. "Now we will move on to testing your hand-to-hand combat skills.'
  
  She leads you to an empty area of grass that looks like it has been sectioned off. You notice a few of the fawn clan have gathered around the area to watch you. Emerald motions to a man in the crowd and he comes over to you.
  
  "This is Laurel, he will be your opponent." Emerald says.
  
  You turn to Laurel and shake his hand. He has the same build as most people in the fawn clan and has a nest of dark curls on his head. His blue eyes bore into you. He looks like he is ready to fight.
  
  "Take your positions."
  
  You and Laurel both move into the sectioned off area and step into fighting stances.
  
  "You may begin."
  
  You and Laurel both fly towards each other, fists raised. Laurel gets the first hit, a blow to your stomach. You recover quickly and hit him in the ribs, then again in the face. You go for a third hit but he dodges and nails you right in the face. You are disoriented and he gets in a second hit. This time however you recover quickly and dodge his third hit. You jump on him and knock him to the floor. You two grapple on the floor for a while and at this point it could be anyones game. Right when you're in the lead and are about to beat Laurel, he suprises you with his strength and flips you onto the ground. It was a close match, but Laurel beats you at the very end.
  
  "You did very well," Emerald says, "Laurel is one of our best fighters."
  
  Laurel looks at you with respect in his eyes. You are sure you look at him the same way. Laurel is an excellent fighter and you admire his skills.
  
  "Come up to my house." Says Emerald, "Let's discuss your results."
  
  She leads you up the same route you took when you first came to Willow Haven, all the way up to her tree house. She moves away the curtain of vines she uses as a door and walks through, with you right behind her. She sits in her twig throne and you take a seat on the log you sat on last time you were in here.
  
  Emerald begins.
  
  "You certainly passed your test, little fawn. I have not seen a warrior of your strength and grace in a long time. I think you will make a great warrior."
  
  You smile and begin to thank her, but she is not finished speaking.
  
  "I also believe, that when it is time for me to be replaced as leader of the clan, you should take my place."
  
  You gasp.
  
  "Are you sure?" You ask. "I haven't been here for very long!"
  
  She looks you in the eyes for a moment.
  
  "I'm sure." She replies, "Your skills as a warrior are superb and you finished your walk through the tunnel faster than anyone else I know."
  
  She stands up from her throne. You stand too.
  
  "You will be a warrior of the fawn clan starting tomorrow. I'd get a good night's sleep if I were you."
  
  You nod and leave her tree house. As you exit, you find Rowan waiting outside for you.
  
  'I saw you walk in with Emerald and wanted to see you. How did it go?" He asks.
  
  You tell him everything.
  
  "Wow! That's amazing. Congratulations!" He sweeps you up into a hug and kisses you on the cheek.
  
  He grabs your hand and starts leading you down a rope bridge.
  
  "Let's go celebrate!" He says.
  
  You laugh and follow him. Night is beginning to fall and the bonfire at the base of Willow Haven has been lit. A few members of the fawn clan are dancing around it and singing. You and Rowan join in with the dancers and have a great time dancing together. You wish you could stay out all night but you decide to take Emeralds advice and go to bed early. Rowan gives you a goodbye kiss and you go back to your tree house and straight to bed.
  
  > Life in the clan
  You hop out of bed and race out the door. You practically sprint down rope bridge after rope bridge down to the grass below. You meet Rowan near the archery range. He kisses you gently on the nose when you reach him.
  
  "Are you ready to go?" He asks.
  
  You nod.
  
  You and Rowan brush aside the willow vines and walk out of Willow Haven. You both transform into fawn and dash off into the woods. Since you have finished all your training you have gotten a lot of free time to enjoy your new life in the fawn clan. You and Rowan have become closer than ever and love spending your days together. For months you have lived at Willow Haven in peace and have almost been able to forget your own world. Some days you feel nostalgic for your home and your favorite place in the woods where you used to go everyday. Mostly, though, you enjoy your life in the Other Realm.
  
  Rowan trots slightly ahead of you down the path to Darling's temple. You and Rowan planned to spend the day at the temple. On the day of celebration that came once a week, the temple and the area around it is filled with members of the fawn clan bringing offerings to Darling and enjoying picnics and other activities at the temple. Today though there are not many people at the temple, since it is not the day of celebration. You and Rowan shift back into human form and take a seat in the grass. You put down your quiver that you now carry with you at all times and join Rowan who is already sitting in the grass.
  
  You spend most of the day sitting there and talking to Rowan. He has become such a big part of your life and you don't know what you would do without him. You are grateful for him and your chance to belong to the fawn clan. You were somewhat of a loner back in your old realm. In fact, you wouldn't be surprised if no one had noticed that you have been missing for months.
  
  Your time at Willow Haven has been filled with peace, happiness, and love but that is soon about to change.
  
  > Under attack!
  You wake up to a loud noise. As you rub the sleep from your eyes, you hear shouting from outside your tree house. You look out your window and see stars high in the sky. It was still nighttime. You immediately know something is wrong. The haze of sleep conpletely forgotten, you vault from your bed and scoop up your bow and arrow, ready to investigate what is going on outside. Before you can even get outside Rowan barrels through your front door. He holds his own bow in his hand and is breathing heavily.
  
  "It's the fox clan." He pants. "We're under attack."
  
  Your heart leaps into your throat. Just outside your door, a battle was already in full swing.
  
  "How are they already so far into Willow Haven? How did I sleep through all of this?" You start to panic as you think about the battle going on outside.
  
  "The fox clan stuck in so quietly, no one even heard them. They took out the guards so that no one was awake to hear them."
  
  You shake your head. How could they get past the Haven's defenses so easily? You look over Rowans shoulder and see a member of the fox clan slit the throat of a fawn. You instantly harden and shift into battle mode.
  
  "Let's go." You say to Rowan.
  
  You both dash out of the tree house and are instantly met by three of the fox clan. One was a short petite woman, one a tall lanky man, and the last was a huge, strong-looking man. The first two, after quickly sizing them up, would be easy to take out. You are not so sure about the last one, though. Rowan takes on the petite woman while you take on the man. He swipes his dagger at you a few times but you dodge easily. When you notice after his third swipe that he has left his chest open. You draw your bow and shoot an arrow that sinks right into his heart. He falls to the ground, dead. You look to your left just in time to see Rowan stab the jugular of the woman with an arrow he holds in his hand. You share a look between you then you both turn to face the last man, the one who looks like his arms are as thick as your waist. He charges towards you and you knock an arrow, but he is too quick and punches you hard in the face. You go down and hit the floor roughly. He kneels over you with a wicked looking dagger in his hands. Just as he is about to lower it into your chest, killing you, an arrow hits him in the temple, driving through all the way to where the point sticks out the other side. You roll away and he crashes onto the ground where you were just laying.
  
  For a long while, you and Rowan stay side by side, fighting off wave after wave of foxes. After a while though, you and Rowan drift apart until you can no longer see him. You suddenly feel like you are out in the open, with no protection. You felt safe with Rowan by your side, but now that sense of protection is gone. You long to go search for him so you can rejoin him. Right before you start cutting a path to where you last saw him, you see Emerald, hacking through swarms of fox clan members. Her bow is like nothing you've ever seen before, instead of wood for the bow, a thin sharp metal that could be used as a blade made up her weapon, divided by a place for her to put her hand. You are mesmerized by how she transitions to wielding her bow as a blade and using to fire arrows at the foxes. After a while you start to notice she is slowing down. She is no less menacing, but you realize that she is starting to get tired. You really want to find Rowan, but maybe you should go see if Emerald needs and help.
  
  > search for Rowan
  You decide Emerald will be fine on her own. You start heading in the opposite direction, cutting down anyone who stand in your way. It takes you a while to locate Rowan but when you finally do, you get a burst of energy and fight hard to close the remaining distance. When you reach Rowan, you turn around to check to see how Emerald is doing. She is slower than ever now. She looks like she really needs help. You point her out to Rowan and you both move to go back the way you came to help her.
  
  Right when you and Rowan are just in reach, you see a fox crouching low, dagger in hand, moving swiftly towards Emerald. She is so busy fighting off the foxes in front of her that she does not see the one sneaking up behind her. You shout a warning but it is swallowed up in the sounds of battle. You want to help her, but you and Rowan are just out of reach. You are forced to watch helplessly as the fox drives her dagger into the back of Emerald's skull.
  
  You and Rowan look at each other, horror reflected in each other's gazes. But you cannot afford to stop for even a moment, there is always someone a second away from killing you. As you begin mindlessly shooting and punching and kicked, a thought forms in your head. You realize that if your clan survives this battle, you will be the new leader, as per Emerald's request. Your body flashes from hot to cold and then back to hot again. The weight of your responsibilities hangs on you, dragging you down. You become incredibly tired and have a few near misses. You don't know how much longer you'll last.
  
  You continue on until Rowan gets your attention and points to a fox warrior through the battle. A man with blond hair, not splattered in blood, with a crown of thorns around his head, rips his way through a crowd of fawns. He is a sight to behold. He wields his dagger expertly and his menacing enough to make anyone fear him.
  
  Rowan says, "KItsune, their leader."
  
  You keep your eyes trained on KItsune. Even after he retreats. Even after he shifts into a fox and disappears through the swoop of willow vines. You know Kitsune must be up to something, but you clan needs all the help they can get. It's your call. You can stay and fight or follow Kitsune.
  
  > follow Kitsune
  You are positive the fox clan leader is up to something. You run to the edge of Willow Haven, shifting from human to fawn in between strides. Rowan follows closely behind you. You dash across the field, following the flashes of Kitsune's red tail as he disappears into the woods. You pick up speed, while the fox seems to be able to scurry along faster than you, you notice Kitsune is traveling down the path to Darling's Temple. You know the path well and it does not take for you and Rowan to catch up to Kitsune. However, he has not yet noticed that you are trailing behind him. You stay as silent as possible, hoping you can continue to follow him without his knowledge.
  
  As Kitsune reaches the opening to Darling's Temple, he shifts back into his human form. You and Rowan remain in your fawn forms and watch him silently. He walks up the steps to the temple and you notice, now that his back is turned to you, that a huge sledgehammer is strapped across his back. You shift back into human form. Kitsune takes the sledgehammer into his arms and approaches the statue of Darling. You watch, horrified, as Kitsune raises the sledgehammer, aiming to strike at the statue, the symbol of the fawn clan's faith. You cannot be silent anymore.
  
  Right before Kitsune swings his sledgehammer you shout, "STOP!" at the top of your lungs. He turns around to find the source of the yelling and locks his eyes on to you. His expressions turns ferocious and he snarls at you.
  
  "You're really trying to save this disgusting statue?"
  
  He looks back at the statue with disgust.
  
  "Disgusting?" You ask, "Darling is someone to admire and while you may not believe in worshipping her I don't think she deserves to be called that."
  
  Kitsune raises his eyebrows at you. Slowly, his gaze thick with condescension, he smiles at you, like you are a child.
  
  "You must not be from here. A fairy pool, im guessing."
  
  Cautiously, you nod.
  
  "Well if you were from here, you would know that the fox clan remembers Darling a bit differently. You see, she was not the lovely woman you idiotic fawns think she was. She destroyed Ari and Yohan's friendship for fun, put them against each other for sport. What she craved was for someone to die for her. Dying at the hands of someone you love is an incredibly cruel fate, don't you think? Darling was a monster. When the friends spared each other, her fury was so great that she burst into raging flames and burned away."
  
  You are startled at the words coming out of Kitsune's mouth. Over time at the fawn clan, you have found that you find comfort in the idea of having such a gentle figure watching over you. While you do not worship Darling as fervently as other clan members, Darling's temple is a symbol of all that the fawn clan believes in and exists for. You cannot let it be destroyed.
  
  "Kitsune," You begin, stalking closer to him, "you need to listen to me..."
  
  You begin to ramble on about Darling and the fawn clan as you slowly snake your way over to him. When you are close enough, you stop yourself mid sentence and leap for the sledgehammer. You grab onto it, wrapping your hands around the handle right below the heavy stone at its end. You use all of your strength and attempt to rip it out of Kitsune's arms. Unfortunately, you are not quick enough for him and he swings the sledgehammer, swinging you off of it. Leaving you no time to recover, he raises it once again and drives it as hard as he can right into Darling's face. The entire head of the statue explodes into white fragments, crumbling to the ground.
  
  With one last menacing smile, Kitsune shifts into a fox and dashes off into the woods. You wonder why Rowan didn't help you with Kitsune, but when you turn around, you see him facing the pond. Beyond him, in the center of the pond, was a swirling vortex of water. A fairy hole.
  
  > The Fairy Hole
  You walk slowly towards where Rowan stands, your knees trembling with each step. Your mouth hangs wide open in awe. For months you have been waiting for a fairy hole to appear to take you back to your old life. Now that the chance is finally here you realize that the fawn clan is your home as much as your house near the edge of the woods is.
  
  You reach Rowan and slip your hand into his. He looks over to you, his eyes filled with sadness and under it all a flicker of hope. But most of all his eyes ask you a question.
  
  Are you going or staying?
  
  You kiss him softly and think about what you are about to say. You need to tell Rowan what you want. You open your mouth, lips trembling, and say...
  
  > say "I'm staying."
  Relief fills Rowan's eyes. He scoops you into his arms and holds on tight. He begins to laugh, a happy sound.
  
  "I wasn't sure if you wanted to stay here with me."
  
  Deep down, you know the reason he stayed. While your home is with the fawn clan, your heart belongs to Rowan.
  
  "Of course i wanted to stay with you." You say. "I love you."
  
  He tightens his grip on you, crushing you into a warm hug. He kisses your forehead, your cheeks, your nose, and finally, your mouth. Slowly, he puts you down. You can see in his eyes that he wants to stay like this for a while but you both know that the battle isn't over yet. Kitsune and his fox clan have to pay.
  
  > Epilogue - Killer Queen
  After the attack on Willow Haven comes to an end, you, acting as the new leader, decides not to retaliate. The Fawn clan, while they train warriors and know how to fight, prefer peace. However, Kitsune destroying Darling's statue was unforgivable. Rowan leads an assassination with a team of 3 other fawn and take out Kitsune. The fox clan never discover it was the fawn who did it.
  
  However, you will never allow the fox clan to trespass on the fawn's territory again. You were lenient in only killing their leader, and after a while they start to get cocky and come near Willow Haven. To ward them off for good, you make an example of one of the fox people that comes to close to your home.
  
  Everyone starts calling you the Killer Queen after you kill the fox man and deliver him to the fox hole with his cut off tail and stuffed in his mouth. It wis cruel, but it works. The fox stay on their land. You and the rest of your fawn people do not consider you evil for your actions, after their families died in the battle they have no sympathy for the fox. You wear the title of Killer Queen proudly.
  
  After that you set your sights on repairing the temple and Darling's statue. While the old one could not be salvaged, you commission a new one made of marble with a golden heart embedded in her chest.
  
  You and Rowan, years later, get married. It is a beautiful ceremony but not very private, as you have to invite the entire clan, being their leader and all. You don't mind having everyone there, Rowan's love is all you need. The two of you live happily in the Other Realm. You would not go back to your old life for anything.
  
  The End.
