The Four Foxes Ch. 11 Preview · 12:26am May 30th, 2018
Hey guys, for those of you who have been following my fic, "The Four Foxes," I just want to say that I'm glad you're liking the simple slice of life story and want to thank you for your support. I would also like to apologize that I haven't posted a chapter since December. That was like a crazy long time ago.
The main reason why I haven't posted is that I had classes to finish up and finals to take. Now that those are out of the way, I can focus my attention on this story once again. And to make it up and to show that this fic is still alive, here is a little preview of the next chapter and what to expect from it.
“What do you want to talk about?” Starlight started.
“I don’t know. What do you like to do for fun?” Reiko asked.
“Not much. Just basic stuff. Like reading, studying magic, writing letters to friends. And...kites.”
Starlight chuckled nervously at the very mention of her interest in kites.
“Neat,” Reiko said.
“What about you? What do you like to do in your free time?”
Reiko tapped her chin with her paw. The gears in her head were turning as she tried to come up with an answer that wasn’t completely embarrassing. Simply thinking about her hobbies was enough to fill her heart with uneasy beats. The more she thought about them, the more her chest pumped. She bit her tongue and kicked a pebble. There were only a few safe answers she could think of.
“Um...wow. Listen to music. Go hunting. Uh...Oh! Sometimes I like to practice my magic,” Reiko answered. “For hunting.”
“I’ve actually been wondering about that. How different is your magic from ours? Are they anything like that fire-beam you used?” Starlight wondered.
“It’s fox-fire,” Reiko corrected.
The vixens ears perked up as an idea popped into her head. A toothy grin formed on her face and her heart started to fill with pride. Even a couple of faint chuckled escaped her muzzle.
“But why tell you, when I can show you.”
“Show me?”
“Why don’t we have a little game of our own? A magic off!”
“Magic off?”
“I’ve also been wondering what other tricks you might have. So let’s show each other what we’ve got! Loser buys the winner dinner.”
“Are you sure? Here? Now?” Starlight questioned.
“Why not? It’s not like anybody’s looking,” Reiko pointed out.
“I don’t know.”
“What’s the matter? Afraid to hit a little foxy?”
Starlight scoffed. “Alright, I’ve never been one to back out of a challenge. I’m ready when you are.”
I've been writing this chapter for a while and I plan to finish soon. This is just to give you an idea of what to expect next from one of the foxes. Hope you liked it.
Finals... I know the feeling...
