"Young Master, there's something I'd like to tell you."
It was the first time Rainer had seen Alisha so serious.
"Of course, Alisha, you can tell me anything!"
Rainer tried to look confident, it was the only thing he could do in this situation.
"..."
"Four years ago, when you rescued me from the bandits... I was not a native of Redil..."
"...!"
Then, after a feeling of dizziness, Rainer was able to see something that was not supposed to be there!
A tail and ears of an animal!
"Y-You're a beastmen!"
Rainer was really surprised, it was the first time he saw a beastmen in flesh and blood.
"Aren't beastmen supposed to live beyond the frontier?"
Rainer still couldn't believe what he saw.
"This is my real appearance, everything started..."
...
Twenty years ago in a Foxmen tribe.
"Magical beast assault!"
After the shout of an explorer, the families of the Foxmen tribe began the evacuation.
The tribe would only be alerted if the magical beast was higher than the third stage of cultivation, so this beast was clearly capable of annihilating their tribe.
"Warriors, gather at the entrance of the tribe!"
Shouted the chief of the Foxmen tribe, Fyr.
"Father, promise me that you will return safely!"
Cried the beautiful Fleur, the daughter of the chief of the tribe.
All the warriors swallowed saliva at the apparition of the goddess of the tribe,after all, Fleur was the most beautiful of all the women of the Foxmen tribe. Her beauty was such that even chiefs of great tribes had asked for her hand in marriage but she rejected them.
"Don't worry sweetie, we'll be back safely, you just evacuate with the others."
After his wife's death, Fleur was the only family member that Fyr had, so he always cared about his safety.
"All right, we have to buy time for our families evacuation! Prepare to even give your own lives!"
The chief of the tribe proceeded to give his speech to increase the morale of the warriors.
"Oooowwwww!"
The warriors felt the blood boiling in their bodies, they had to defend this position even if it cost them their lives.
...
"It's impossible! We can't block it!
The warriors had fought for an hour against the magical beast and all they could do was hurt one of its eyes and its front legs.The beast had a frontal horn about the size of its head and the brightness of its tip showed how sharp it was, the blood that covered the horn revealed the numerous lives that the beast had claimed.
This was one of the most powerful beasts in this area, the Quake Rhino!
Its heavy weight produced earthquakes in the ground that destabilized its openents, the rhinoceros exploited the aftershocks to attack warriors and claim their lives.
Over time, half of the warriors had perished at the feet of the bloodthirsty beast, while the others trembled in its presence.
It was then, when all seemed lost, he appeared. A human and a beast both managed to deal a fatal blow to the Quake Rhino,obviously, with the price of the life of man's spiritual beast.
The gorgeous dark panther of the human being, who identified himself as Kalyn, perished in battle, producing a rebound in Kalyn that seemed to have aged several years at once.
After all, a spiritual beast is part of one's spirit, if it dies, you will be losing part of your spirit.
...
"Thank you for saving us young warrior..."
Fyr and his men bowed as a sign of gratitude, this human had not only saved them but had also made a great sacrifice for them.
Although one could restore his spiritual beast after its death, the process was so arduous and difficult that spiritual beasts were said to have just one life.
"It's not much but we'd like to have you stay in our tribe to treat your wounds."
Offered the chief of the tribe.
"Of course, it will be a pleasure," Responded Kalyn.
...
"I've brought the medicines my father asked for."
A beautiful young lady brought the medicines to Kalyn's room.
"My name is Fleur, it's not much but....Thank you for saving my father and the tribe!
Fleur bowed to Kalyn showing her gratitude.
"It was nothing, my little Dala died but I'll handle it..."
Answered Kalyn as tears formed in his eyes.
This was the first contact between Alisha's parents.
...
Fleur, who had never left the tribe and its surroundings, visited Kalyn daily to talk about his travels.
After a year in the tribe, Kalyn and Fleur developed feelings for each other and consummated their love under the blessing of stars.
In the second year, the cute Alisha was born, named after the flower of eternal love from the legends of the Beastmen.
Although she was a half blood, everyone in the tribe treated her like one of them. Her delicate traits inherited from her mother made her very adorable in the eyes of the tribal ladies.
Her long and fluffy tail, her snow-white hair and red stripes through her tail made her unique among the Foxmen.
During her childhood, Fleur trained Alisha in illusory techniques, the specialization of the Fox clan. When she became an adult, she would inherit the totem of the tribe, which would potentiate her physical capacity and magic.Everything was joyful times until the day of the calamity.
When Alisha reached the age of fourteen and was officially considered an adult, a few days before inheriting her totem, the Faus volcano, which was said to be the incarnation of the ancestral beastmen heroine, erupted.
Burning magma descended through the mountain, animals and magical beasts fled, forming stampedes. The nearby tribes tried to evacuate but it was almost impossible in the midst of the chaos.
During the calamity, the burning magma surrounded Alisha's tribe.
...
"Mother, Father, are we going to die in this place?"
Asked Alisha, horrified at the thought of losing everything and then dying.
"No my daughter, we won't let you die...".
Replied Kalyn.
"Only one of you can leave.I'm so sorry, Fleur, I love you."
"I love you too, Kalyn."
They both hugged and a light covered the area.
The last memory of that night for Alisha would be how her father gave her a bracelet that emitted a beautiful light and brought her dizziness. When she woke up, she was in an unknown forest.
Alisha, on her own and without any support, started to wander in search of her family. She lived in caves and ate the little she could hunt, life was hard but the idea of finding her family kept her alive.
After two months of unsuccessful searching, she managed to leave the forest and encounter a human village.
Apparently, her father's bracelet had taken her too far from her tribe at the human frontier.
As a half-breed, Alisha had tail and ears inherited from her beastmen blood. As a precaution, her parents taught her that she should use illusory magic to hide her tail and ears in human territory.
The illusion magic of Foxmen is not something as simple as a cover-up of their tails and ears, as long as one falls under the effect of their illusion, they will not be able to perceive what the illusion covers. Of course high level cultivators would be able to see through their illusion if they used the corresponding measures, but who would be worried about a young maid from the clan?
After arriving at the village, Alisha pretended to be an orphan and stayed at an old woman's house in exchange for doing housework and helping with the harvest.
Half a year later, when Alisha had adapted to her new lifestyle, bandits attacked the village where she was living.
The basic illusion magic was not effective in combat and Alisha had not yet inherited her totem, which would give her superhuman capabilities, so she was only able to flee with the old woman in her care.
...
"Granny, we have to be quick or those bandits will catch us!"
Said Alisha as she checked the surroundings.
"My bones are aged, I won't be able to endure such a long journey... leave me here and run away, if they catch you..."
Even in her last moments, the kind old woman always cared more about others than herself.
"No Granny, I can't leave you here!"
Alisha couldn't leave anyone after what she had experienced.
"Little girl, you're too kind, leave me now before they..."
"There are two more over there!"
Shouted a man as he pointed to them with a blood-dripping machete.
"Hiii"
Alisha had never been in a fight before, when she saw the machete stained with human blood and the man's laughter,it caused a deep shock to her.
"An old woman and a hottie... at least I can earn something from the girl."
Said the man as he swung his machete in the direction of the old woman.
*Slash*
The old woman's head fell to the ground with a heavy sound.Alisha seemed to be in another world, she did not react even when the man approached one step away from her, the brightness in her eyes had disappeared, as if waiting for her death or a worst fate.
"Come here, missy...."
Before the man could lay his hand on Alisha, a boy appeared and stabbed him in his back.
"Uhhh"
"You bloody brat! I'll kill you!"
The boy grabbed Alisha's hand and pulled her. When he saw that the girl was not reacting, the boy shook her as he said:
"No matter how tough it gets, there will be always somebody standing up for you!"
This boy's smile would always remain engraved in her memory.
...
On several occasions, Alisha was about to tell Rainer her real roots, but she didn't dare because she was afraid of his rejection.
"Will he hate me for lying to him? Will he have prejudices against other races?"
These two questions made it difficult on Alisha to confess the truth to Rainer.
But after the latest events, Alisha had the feeling that no matter who she was or where she came from, Rainer would always treat her equally.
So she decided to confess the truths after Rainer told her to trust him.
...
"..."
Rainer did not know how to respond to Alisha's confession.
...
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Young Master, there's something I'd like to tell you."
