Just letting everyone know the game is still in the works, and will be back up and running soon! To show I've not been sitting on my butt the ENTIRE time, I'll be uploading the 'cinematics' as I get them built! Everyone, save for our two new people, will have one! (Theirs will come after they've been introduced!). Shortly after I get all of this story-stuffs up, I'll toss up the first post, and we'll get things under way! Once more, thanks for sticking with me, and trust me - it will be worth the wait!! &gt;:3  ***Note!*** These will be updated in pieces, so check back every now and then!</div></div></div><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold"> Lilium </span><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">&lt;&lt;&lt; Earlier that night, at the Singing Donkey...&gt;&gt;&gt;</span><br/><br/>The mysterious figure sat, alone, in the far back corner of the bar. Despite the softly crackling fire clearly illuminating him, the hooded figure was paid not even the slightest bit of attention. He'd not been waited on - the waitress, a sultry little catgirl with a small man on her shoulder, had never even seemed to notice him. Things were exactly as they were meant to be. He would dematerialize just as quickly as he'd appeared, and noone - even the one he'd come to see - would ever know he'd been there in the first place.<br/><br/>Six years...had it really been that long? She looked so much different, now - taller. More beautiful. Her tail was thicker, fuller - it showed she'd been eating well. Her fur was pristine, soft - it showed she'd been well taken care of. There seemed to not even be a single scar or scratch to mar her beautiful body - that was good, it showed she knew how to take care of herself. Then again, she was not alone...<br/><br/>The feral fox that sat beside her was never meant to come into her possession, yet he had. Somehow, the intelligent (Compared to normal foxes, anyway) creature had found his way out of the Dimensional Pen he was using to transport it...and found his way to her. They'd bonded almost instantly. After seeing that bond..and, eventually, that love, forming - he simply had not the heart to take him away from her. Nor would he ever. Rak was hers. Lilium deserved him.<br/><br/>She'd grown up well. It was nice to see - she was walking in the footsteps of her father, whether she knew it or not. The predator side of her was still slowly emerging, but, given time - she'd likely grow to enjoy it. Oh, how her power could grow from that point on. Rak, the little glutton - he certainly had no problems eating. Anything. Anyone. Anytime. It's a wonder he looked as skinny as he did - the fox should weigh five hundred pounds or more, now.<br/><br/>It was nice to see her, if only for a little while - trouble was brewing, and he'd have to leave soon. The young fox sitting with her seemed a little shy, inexperienced...and oh, how she teased him. If only she knew who he really was...who knows, perhaps she did. Maybe her entire intention was to get him alone and devour him....<br/><br/>It was during his musing the fight started. He watched, silently, as the events unfolded. The coyote girl was eaten by a shifter - of the Hara clan, if he was not mistaken. The half-cat was chased away by a collie - a member of the local criminal group, though likely not for long...<br/><br/>And then there was Lilium - she'd devoured a tiefling. Needless to say, he was quite surprised when she let her meal go. It showed heart, along with the predatory instincts she'd inherited from her father. Good - prey was prey...but sometimes, entire lives were changed from a single showing of mercy. Some didn't deserve it. Others...like the tiefling...<br/><br/>Well, it was hard to see that far ahead, even with his considerable power.<br/><br/>The hour was growing late. It was time to go. Casting one last glance back at the female Kitsune as she interacted with her new friends...he cannot help but smile "...Good work, Lilium. You've grown so much. You'll be like your father, one day...if you so choose."<br/><br/>Tossing a single gold coin down on the table for service he never recieved, the strange, heavily robed figure melted away.<br/><br/>He was gone before the coin stopped spinning.
