Contemplating on the day’s events, she laid back. This was one of the things she loved about being a kitsune. Her tails provided her with a soft bed to lay on. Lazily she placed her left arm over her eyes to block out the sun. A bit of sleep wouldn’t hurt.
Her confidence was low about what she had talk with Sieg about. Her history with tengu was always that they spoke pretty words to her but rarely followed through.
She would have a nap and wake up to being numb to everything again… She was Hope’s guild leader. She will play her part. No need for anything else. Slowly she began drift off to sleep.
Just as she was starting to relax. Her phone pinged. Lots of pings in quick succession. Sitting up, she looked down at the unknown number.
“You know me but I can’t tell you who I am yet. I wanted to warn you about marrying Levi.”
Ember scrolled down and looked at the pictures. Multiple pictures and videos of Levi doing and saying things that were disloyal and criminal. Her fur on her tail stood on end at one video in particular.
“She’s an easy catch,” Levi was speaking to Kuper and Hika. “Easy to tame. League wants me to hold the alliance between us and them by marrying her. I’ll be able to make sure she stays weaker than you.”
More and more information poured from the unknown number. Ember quickly sent a message to Shirahime and asked her to bring the girls to the hot spring before she continued looked at all the photo and video evidence before her.
One final message from the unknown number before it went silent. “You deserve much better than this slug. Please heed my warning.”
“Ember?” Ellie approached her cautiously. Ember’s aura was powerful and fully activated in her anger. “Shirahime said you wanted to see us…”
Ember wordlessly handed her the phone and sat quietly shaking. She didn’t trust herself to say anything.
“We’ll stop him from coming near you…” Ohime’s voice was angry. “No one messes with our guild.”
A tengu in crimson clothes and a kitsune in a pretty yellow dress stood in the shadows. The kitsune held her phone tightly against her chest as if in prayer.
“Ember will be angry and refuse to talk to Levi,” the tengu said knowingly. “Once she’s triggered she’s hard to shake from that thought pattern.”
“I hope you’re right,” the kitsune replied softly. “Ember doesn’t deserve more heartbreak.”
“You’ve saved her from that now…” he replied placing a hand on her wrist.

Levi hopped off his peacock and handed the reins to a waiting miko. Walking briskly up to the doors of Hope guild headquarters, he took a deep breath and pushed open the doors.
“We were wondering when you were going to come,” Shirahime’s voice was low. “So the question is why are you here?” Three more kitsune surrounded him.
“Be mindful of what you say next,” Ellie’s voice was also dark. “I haven’t decided whether to castrate you or not.”
Levi’s face pale and he took a few steps back. “Hopefully you won’t…” He opened up his hand and showed them the ring.
Weapons appeared in the hands of each of the kitsune. Levi took several more steps back. “Ladies?”
“Ember is not someone you can have,” Ellie’s voice was dark and menacing. “Ate Ember deserves the best and that is not you.”
“We’ve seen the evidence,” Shirahime’s voice was deeper than usual. “Someone sent Ember a lot of photo and video evidence of your illicit activities. You’re a traitor Levi. To your country and your guild.”
“We won’t allow you to come near Ember,” Ohime stood casually but her aura and presence clearly indicated she was anything but relaxed. “Leave Levi… Before we make you.”
“Whatever was sent to her were lies!” Levi cried confused as to what was going on. “Please let me speak to her.”
“Not if we have anything to say about it,” Ellie replies bringing her sword up into an offensive position.

Meanwhile, Ember sat in her room. She contemplated what the mysterious number had sent her. Picking up her phone, she dialed a certain silver eyed tengu’s number.
“Nani?” His voice sounded surprised at the call. “What can I do for you Ember?”
“Just wanted to pass on a warning,” she replied softly. “I received a lot of evidence but I want you to make up your own mind. Be wary of Levi, Nagi.”
Nagito was thoughtfully quiet. “Why?”
“He’s not who he appears to be,” Ember sighed softly. “I’m not going to influence your guild or interfere but I wanted to just warn you to be wary is all. If you need the evidence or want to see it, I’ll forward it to Kirei.”
“Ok…” Nagito let out a big sigh. “Ember… Godson wants you as well by the way.”
“After what has happened with Kirei and Levi, I’m not ready for another spouse.” Ember replied. “But if he’s serious, he can talk to me and see where it goes.”
“I’ll let him know,” Nagito replied with a slight laugh. “Thankyou for warning me.”
