Eternity Foxx: The Rise To Eternal Knowledge 21 Ch 21: Air & Wind

She smacked me..

"What makes you think you can go around smelling people? All close to me and what not."

Was I really that close just now? I did close my eyes to get a better feel of her scent. Did I lean in too far?

"I apologize, it's just that your deeds have such a good scent to them." I said rubbing my face.

"You can smell someone's deeds?"

Oh, that's right... I seem to be the only one who ca do that. I guess that's because I live in the darkness. So we have to heighten our other senses to survive.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one outside the wall who can smell deeds. I know that some of the Devils do have a good sense of smell though.

"Yea I can smell deeds. I wasn't sure what it was at first."

"Then I started meeting with Mikhail. He was the one who started to teach me about things of sophistication."

He was my first real teacher. The others just taught me enough to understand what they wanted from me.

"After learning about what deeds are. I started to notice that I can smell them."

"It took me awhile to realize which was which. I have a pretty good handle on it now though."

I can't believe it really. I can't sense her presence, and her smell sneaks up on me.

"That's amazing Eternity!"

She said, but then stepped back.

"Is it ok if I call you that? Mikhail told me your name is Eternity. Well he said it's Eternity Foxx, but he calls you by the first name."

Mikhail is so d.a.m.n carefree.

"Yes it is ok with me if you call me that. What do I call you though?"

I don't think Mikhail mentioned her name.

"It's Lilith, and I'm from the healer tribes. Which tribes are you from?"

She is one of the healers? I thought the monks dont use weapons. Maybe the healers do, even though they are a cousin tribe to the monks.

"That's a nice name. I'm sure you make your tribe very proud with your deeds."

We continued to converse for hours. She told me about archery, and poetry. She said learning poetry helps you realize the beauty in all things. Allowing you to express yourself using the flow of your life.

Very intelligent, and independent was her character. Her natural personality was so easy going. I could talk to her like that amytime.

We agreed to meet again, and we did several times. She even started to teach me how to properly use a bow. I taught her about controlling her light.

She used a similar technique to that of which I use in my spatial control ability. She would lower her center of gravity while holding her bow.

She would then gather the air under her wings like I did. Instead of using it to propel herself. She used it to aid her arrows.

She would focus the air around them just as I did with my strikes in battle. This made it easy to teach her to use spatial control. Hers is far weaker then my own, but she uses it well.

We continued to train, and went on hunts together. She liked that I was always keeping myself sharp. Never losing sight of my goals.

I liked her presence around me, and her smell. Even though I keep getting smacked, and pushed away for smelling her. I can't help it... sometimes I dont even know I'm doing it.

As time went on Mikhail would come meet, and train with us. We all became really close to each other. She came more often then he did, but he's the prince.

Lilith would accompany me on Devil raids as well. We had perfect synchronization with each other. She had learned my fighting techniques.

I learned hers as well, and we made so many strategies together. I was a close range attacker, and her a long range supporter. She made me practice long range fighting so we could switch positions.

When she attacked with close range tactics. She danced my dance of the wind better then I did. I would activate spatial control sometimes just to look at her.

She never did get any blood on her uniforms. It wasn't long after our trainings started, that I began to be the same way. It became bothersome to me if it did happen.

If I am the Lord of the Wind, then she most certainly was the Queen of the Air. The wind needs the strength of the air to flow threw existence...

One day after we was training on switching positions while in spatial control. Something that requires perfect synchronization of movement, and energy output. She said she wanted to ask me something.

"Hey Foxx, do you ever think The King will let you in Heaven?"

That one caught me off gaurd. Not even Mikhail has asked me that question. The King has never given me an offer to get in. So I'm not sure if that will truly happen.

"I'm not sure Lil, I mean I think about going in all the time."

I sat up, and hugged my knees.

"I'm not sure i would be welcomed there though. I mean it's not like anyone, but you and Mikhail really like me."

I could feel her looking at me. Yet I kept looking down at the ground.

"Would they really accept someone from the land of Jin?"

Her aura changed all of a sudden. She smacked me in the back of my head.

"What the f.u.c.k was that for?!"

She was crying...

"Why do you think everyone meets with you idiot?"

"You can be the most simple minded individual sometimes you know that?"

What was she so mad at me for? I was telling her the truth just now.

"They come out here to gain something from me. It's the same reason some of you act right. You don't want to lose The King's blessings, and gifts."

She came from behind me, and wrapped her arms around me.

"Even if people just want to gain from you. You should treat them like you value their time."

"It's not your wrong doing if they have ill intentions. It is your wrong doing if you respond negatively to that."

She was always setting me straight on these things.

"They keep their word to you, and never tell your real name. They say nothing about your true ident.i.ty. What makes you think they don't like you as well?"

I didn't think they would keep their word. They talk so much, I figured that they would slip up by now.

(It has been about 3 millennia since he taught the first group how to suppress their light.)

"I'm glad they have kept their word. I will try to be more understanding of others Lil. I promise..."

She grabbed me tighter, and put her head on my shoulder.

"That's a good boy."

I could feel her grinning on my shoulder.

"Now be a good demon and say thank you to your sorceress." She giggled as she said it.

"My sorceress you say? Where did that one come from?" I laughed back.

"You haven't heard the new stories in Heaven?"

"They say that the Foxx Demon has a master. She is a Devil sorceress who controls the demon, and he is her loyal pet..."

I turned to ask her when that started but she left a mirage.

She really is getting better at her spatial control. I didn't even feel her leave.

So she is a Devil sorceress, and I'm a Fox demon. This is starting to get interesting for sure...

This of course was not the last time I heard of that story. As we did The King's work outside the wall. The stories spread with in Heavens walls.

I guess playing the part of a pet wasn't that bad. It took me out of the role as lead. I had no problem letting her shine.

Her light was bright, and she hide it flawlessly in the wastelands. She always asked to see my light, but by this time I shine too brightly to release out here.

I have shown her a portion of my light. She sees right threw me, and tells me she is going to get me to let go one day.

I have no doubt in my mind that she will find a way eventually. When she does, I hope she doesnt pay much attention to the shadow I cast.

She always requests having her patrols be on the corner above my cave. She told me if she ever sees anything approaching my cave she will drop it before it can take a step.

I have no doubt that whatever she sees will have a quick death. I think that other then The King, and Mikhail. She is the only one I don't want to seriously p.i.s.s off.

I told her my idea that she was the Queen of the air. She tried to be so cool and said "Good at least you have accepted being a King." Those Angels and their t.i.tles...

She keeps pushing the idea that I might become a king in Heaven. She says it's probably why The King does things the way He does with me. I dont know if she is right, but The King does do a lot with me.

The monks talisman began to signal the next caravan. Knowing him, I dont have enough time to waste. He is well aware of my speed now, and he seems to talk with The King.

I'm positive that he has been made knowledgeable of my advances. I hope the healer has prepared the weapons for me that he agreed to. I don't think he would have forgotten.
