ToS:DotNW-Small gathering

'It hasn't been long.' A golden colored fox thought.

The golden fox was quite big for being a normal fox, then again, she wasn't a normal animal. She was a monster/demon, from the demonic realm Nifelheim. She was originally a demon, but because of the Centurion's and Ratatosk, she was reverted to a monster under the Centurion's control. She was under the command, and element of Centurion Tenebrae, the Centurion of Darkness. She was at first a non-elemental demon/monster, until Ratatosk heard of her, and found her. It took months for them to get her, but it succeed, and the golden fox couldn't be more happy.

'Now that everything has settled, I wonder how Emil and Marta are doing in Palmacosta. the golden fox thought.

She sighed as her black tipped ears lowered, and her black tipped tail stopped wagging. She has had black paws, and her belly was a dull yellow color, and her eyes bright red. She was laying down in the Martel Temple, waiting for Colette and Lloyd to get back.

'Lloyd...' the fox thought of fondly.

He had saved her life many times, and she had returned the favor as many times. They were like brother and sister, nothing could separate them. Even during the journey of World Regeneration, she stayed by his side, unless he ordered her to protect someone else. She obeyed him, and only him. At the beginning she was worried because of her ties with the Centurion, and she broke her tie with him to travel with Lloyd. She knew she broke Tenebraes' heart at that moment, but she didn't want to worry about him during the journey. She even took the prejudiced that everyone threw at them during her journey with Lloyd in collecting the Centurion Cores, but that made their bond stronger. She was worried though about Colette, and suggested to Lloyd they get her as well, but he shook his head, but she could clearly see the pain in his eyes about lying to Colette, so she didn't bring her up again.

"Why did I agree to stay behind?" The fox asked herself, able to speak like the Centurion's and Summon Spirits as granted to her when she was a demon.

"We're back!" a delightful voice rang out, and the fox smiled.

"LLOYD, COLETTE!" the fox shouted, running to greet them.

"Keaton!" Lloyd and Colette greeted.

Lloyd ran toward Keaton and hugged her, as she nuzzled his cheek.

"Next time, I am going with you." Keaton stated, looking at him in seriousness.

"I'm taking you with me from now on. I couldn't stop worrying about you." Lloyd said cheerfully smiling at her, and she smiled back.

"In fact we came to pink you up. We got a call from Marta and Emil. Their traveling again to see the World. They asked to meet us at Izoold." Colette said and Keaton smiled.

'I can see Tenebrae again.' Keaton thought in joy.

It may be true that Tenebrae now resides in the Ginnugigap for good, but he's allowed out every now and then to see Emil and everyone else. Besides, with Keaton being pregnant, and Tenebrae being her mate, he had every right to leave to see her, since her pups were coming one day soon.

"Really? When do we leave?" Keaton asked, and Colette smiled.

"Right now actually. We have to be there in a weeks time." Colette said, and Keaton growled.

"A week's time! Then let's hurry!" Keaton said, and they smiled.

Keaton began to get ready, and they were soon out of door of the temple. They arrived in Izoold in a weeks time as promised, and smiled as they touched the dock. Lloyd quickly got off, and helped Keaton off, and then Colette was off. Yet, being her clumsy self tripped, and fell into a familiar person.

"AH!" the two girls screamed as they hit the ground.

"Marta, are you okay?" a certain male voice said, and when they saw who it was, it really was Marta and Emil.

"Oh Marta, I am so sorry!" Colette said, and Marta only smiled.

"It's okay Colette, I'm fine." Marta said and they both got up.

"Hey Emil, good to see ya!" Lloyd said, clasping hands with Emil in greeting, and they both smiled.

"It's good to see you as well Lloyd. Where's the excepting mother?" Emil asked and Keaton pushed his leg a bit, and Emil smiled at her, kneeling down.

"Hey Keaton, good to see you." Emil said, rubbing her head, and she smiled at him.

"Good to see you two Emil. Where is he?" She asked, and Emil smiled.

Keaton suddenly felt something grab her tail, and turned around only to see Tenebrae was holding her tail with his own.

"Tenebie." Keaton said and licked his cheek, causing him to blush.

"It's Tenebrae, even to you." Tenebrae said, but her pout caused him to sigh, in defeat.

"Fine." Tenebrae said, and she nuzzled him, giving him a smirk, and he gave one back.

They were all gathering at Izoold for a little reunion, one that was well appreciated. Yet Lloyd, Colette and Keaton would have to go out gathering Exsphere's again, but at the moment just being with those they cared about was all that mattered at the moment, something they knew was what they were waiting for.
