Pom-Pom turn to Ember. “Here hold theses and don't eat them all, I might be a kitsune by I love a good gem flavoured snack.” Ember being forced to hold the brown paper bag blinked a few times trying to process what exactly was going on. “What?” Pom-Pom took a few steps back. “Ooooo this is something I haven't done in years!” Before any of them could say anything two of the tail flames glowed, she did a few back flips to do a massive bounce up into the air spinning around in a glow of green and blue magical aura. Suddenly in a burst of light Pom-Pom not only had wings now and flying, but was as big as Torch was hovering only ten meters from him with a paw out. Their jaws hung open at the sight before them, Anubis even pointed at her inside the sound bubble, Silvite didn't seem to even care, and speak out something at him before going on a rant at the Death Dragon again. “LET'S DO THIS AGAIN, I AM POM-POM, ALPHA OF THE KITSUNE CLAN YANTIC, OF NO-YANTIC MARSHES OF THE LAND OF NOWHERE.” Her voice boomed with the paw still out to him grinning silly at the Dragon Lord. Torch slowly lifted his foreclaw up taking the paw to shake it. “DRAGON LORD TORCH... LORD OF THE DRAGONS OF THE DRAGON LANDS...” He seemingly unsure staring at her. “HEHE I ALWAYS GET THAT REACTION WHEN I SHOW OFF!” She giggled loudly, moving her paw away she spins around backwards again to return to seven feet tall with no wings standing before Ember and Gale. “What?” Gale had no words with a big smile on his beak, he eyes were starry eyed at the amazing skill of magic she pulled off before them, Ember finally got her voice. “That nothing I ever seen before... How did you grow wings and get THAT big!?” “Eat one of the gummy bear gem flavoured sweats in that bag and I'll answer that question, fair?” She walked up to Ember hinting to the paper bag. Ember rolled her eyes. “Fine!” She held the bag in one claw hand, put the other in to take out a bear shape gummy. “How can this squishy thing taste like gems!?” “Try it.” Pom-Pom sat on her hunches, Torch above staring into empty space where Pom-Pom was once occupied with the foreclaw held out. Ember rolled her eyes. “Fine I'll humour you Kitsune, just cause I want some answers.” Ember threw into her maw chewing on it, she froze for a second before her wings fluttered with glee as she continue to chew happily and swallow. “Th-That the best gem tasting thing I ever ate!” “I know.” Pom-Pom giggled. “My friend Vinnix uses transformative magic to turn gem stones into those nice little treats, it a acquired taste though.” Pom-Pom stated. “Now to answer your questions, we kitsunes have magic, each tail flame is a speciality, blue is transformative magic; that work both on me and anything else, the green is to do with size magic; so I can change the size of myself or anything else around me.” Ember blinked. “You mean you could make my dad smaller? Or me bigger?” Pom-Pom giggled. “Heck yes! How do you think Silvite shrunk? Not only by getting over her greed, but by a simple bit of my magic that gave her the size and able to walk on two again. The main thing about dragons is that the older they get the BIGGER they get, it biology 101 with dragons.” Pom-Pom looked over to the silent dome. “YOU USED YOUR MAGIC TO NOT ONLY CHANGE YOUR SIZE TO GREET ME AS A FELLOW RULER, BUT RESPECTIVELY TOO, I AM IMPRESSED BY YOUR METHOD EVEN IT IS SURPRISING.” Torch boomed with a smile. Pom-Pom slyly smirked. “Please, that just my way of showing who the top dog here, when your in Nowhere not only you got me to tend to, but Silvy too, since my blood bond sister after all.” Pom-Pom's tails swishing around. “Also I believe you dragons got a saying... What was it?” She tap the bridge of her muzzle with a paw. Torch recalled the tales from his grandfather. “NEVER MAKE A ENEMY OF A KITSUNE...” “Oh right that right.” She grinned. Ember crossed her arms. “Seriously? Over some fox that came cast different forms of magic? It impressive but I can't see how we should fear something like you?” Pom-Pom turn to her grinning. “Oooooo a dragon that doesn't know of the warning passed down the family line, how about I show you.” Her tails magical gassy flames flared with brightness. “Hmm... What should I turn you into?” One flame pulse freezing Ember in place, she couldn't move. “Wh-What!? I can't move!!” Torch tried to move but he was frozen in place too. “I CAN'T MOVE!” “You see this yellow flame, it specially effects dragons, using your very bloodstone magic against you, any dragon that follow the Dragon Lord within a mile will feel it effects too, unable to move and do jack to stop what I am about to do.” Pom-Pom casually walk up to Ember. Ember tried to free herself struggling to break free. “I might be effected by the sceptre but I am not bound by it!” Ember roared out flaring her wings shattering the magical hold from Pom-Pom, the reaction she got from Pom-Pom was a impressive smile. “I am Princess Ember! Torch is my father and I will not let some fuzzy twelve tail freak do anything to me!” She flew right at Pom-Pom. Pom-Pom just stood there allowing Ember to come right at her, but Gale quickly moved in the way with forelegs out with wings flapping, Ember stopped with her fist inches from his beak, his eyes narrow and staring right into hers. “No fighting!” Gale growled. “I no want this! Stop magic, stop anger!” Pom-Pom's yellow flame flares for Torch to be able to move again. “Fine by me, I am impressed enough to see not every dragon is blindly bound to the bloodstone.” She lean her head to the left looking past Gale at Ember. “You are a okay dragon, I like you a lot, when we get a free moment we should spar.” Ember pull her fist back, opening her claw hand up staring at Gale then at Pom-Pom. “You use magic and threaten to turn me into something, and just like that you are cool with me!?” Ember snarled at Pom-Pom “Pretty much.” Pom-Pom shrugged. “I showed some of my strength and you did too, isn't that what dragons do?” Gale turn to Pom-Pom and back to Ember. “No fight?” “Nope, not for now, when we spar it will be a fight consented by both sides for a friendly kicking some tail.” Pom-Pom answered. Ember snorted crossing her arms. “Whatever... Fine, I'll still kick your fuzzy butt.” “Look forward to it.” Pom-Pom grinned walking around Gale lifting her paw out to the blue dragon. “Pick a time and place and I'll be there.” Ember stared at it and smirked back. “Alright, I won't got easy on you mutt.” She took the paw and shook on it. “Good to know, cause I won't too.” Torch stared down at them. “NOW I KNOW WHY OUR STORIES OF FEAR TO THE KITSUNES COME FROM, EVEN FOR YOUR SIZES YOU ARE FORBIDDABLE CREATURES.” “Oh we are.” Pom-Pom giggled. “Now... As Alpha of the Yantic Clan, how about a tour of our settlement for about 40 or so minutes.” “Your confusing...” Ember growled. Pom-Pom giggled. “Misdirection, twist and turns, anger and happiness. It all part of the perks of being a Kitsune, any creature need to keep on their toes when dealing with us.” Pom-Pom put a paw under her muzzle looking up at Torch. “Though... We going to have to do something about your size, the place not exactly built for a titan dragon.” Torch snorts. “I RATHER STAY, I KNOW WHAT YOUR THINKING AND I AM NOT GOING TO BE SHRUNK.” Pom-Pom sighed. “Awww you could have had so many gems.” “GEMS?” “Like these sweats we got real deal gems, I could easily part some to you.” She smirked. “HMMM... FINE FOR ONLY 40 MINUTES!” He agreed to it, the reward of the tour for a large sum of gems was too enticing. “Gladly!” “Dad!” “DON'T DAD ME! THIS IS MY CHOICE!” He roared at her causing the small dragon to be pushed back, she slid with claws on both feet and hands digging through the small layer of snow, into the rock to stop herself from falling off. “Fine...” Ember snorted standing up with arms crossed again. “This is going to bite you in the tail.” Pom-Pom grinned. “Oh you do not know how right you are!” She laughed as the blue and green flame magic flares and encase over Torch. The form shirks and standing before them wearing the chest plate and a ring around one of two curved horns stood a nine foot tall three tail kitsune with no floating flames over them, the sceptre held by the middle one which look like his dragon tail. “Wh-what did you do to me!?” “Your a dragon kitsune.” She giggled using a flame magic to form a rift to the settlement. “Don't worry it will wear off in 40 minutes, promise you on my Great grandson times seven.” Pom-Pom walked up to Gale whispering into his ear. "I know about you and Silvy, don't worry your in good paws from your aunty Pommy." She giggled, the kitsune turn and walked through the rift. Gale put his talon through the fur of Torch afterwards. “Oooo furry and scaly, weird and cool!” He smiled warmly. Ember laughed with hot flames coming out onto the ground. “Hahah Dad hahaha you hahaha-” She fell over on her back laughing harder. Torch growls lowly. “Never speak of this to any dragon...” He stared at the rift. “Damn kitsunes... I should of listened to my grandfather more than I did...” He muttered regretting his bad choices in the past as he walked through the rift. Ember sat up holding her chest. “Oh that I will never get out of my head.” She chuckled. Gale turn to the bubble, Silvite say this happen and nodded to him with a smile, Gale turn to Ember grabbing her hand claw pulling the blue dragon up onto her claw feet. “Come let go! Explore!” “Hey let go! Stop pulling! How in the name of the Death Dragon your so strong for something so small and cute!?” Ember shouted in protest getting dragged through the rift by Gale. The rift closes, Anubis sighed in relief seeing they were gone and Silvite seem to be in a good mood. “Are you done?” Silvite turn to him. “Oh I only getting started.” She growled turning to Anubis, the Death Dragon grumbled under his breath as she started to rant and rave at him again.
