《Seeds of Evil: Rophion Forest》CHAPTER 14: INMAR AND THE HEART OF A RED FOX
Advertisement
Getting out of her tent, Inmar looked around and saw the fake Samaya looking in the distance. The girl's eyes were narrowed as if she was trying to look through the void, but, because she couldn't see anything, she felt angry and her lips were also slowly trembling.
„Something happens?” Inmar asked the girl.
„It seems that we have visitors, but I can't realize who might be," the girl said, feisty.
„If you can't see this, it means only one thing: our visitor is someone very important," Inmar said and turned her back on the girl, taking a few steps from the tent's entrance.
The girl made a wry face, hearing Inmar talking like that. But she had no other choice than to accept the reality and looked behind Inmar, who was approaching the other foxes that were preparing for lunch and who, to prepare their food, have sacrificed a lot of chicken, whose blood colored the ground around into a dark red.
After a few moments of watching Inmar, the girl asked: „who's that person who's spying on us right now, Inmar? Till now, nobody ever could hide his presence from me and, even if they were far from me, I could see their destiny as if looking in their palm. Now instead, it's different: I can't see anything."
„This is because the power of that person is far beyond your power and there's only one person in this world who can hide her face and destiny from you. They call her, Mother Earth."
„Mother Earth? And... who is she?”
„The first titanide who ever stepped on this Earth and who actually created us all. But not even think about fighting against her, girl, for she isn't that kind of creature that you can face. More than that, Gaea is immortal when you aren't."

„Nobody in this world can live forever, Inmar," has been the girl's defiant answer. „Even if the rabbits are fast, they can't escape from us, for the foxes aren't only cunning but are also smart and the foxes always can find the right way to have the prey fallen right into their paws. So, as those bunnies that always fall into our cauldron, adding some extra flavor to our life: the same she'll fall someday."
„What you forget is of what the red foxes are always afraid of, Samaya. We are afraid of wolves. Yes, the same wolves that live in the Eastern part of the Rophion Forest. And we are afraid of them, for they have a power we only can dream of and which we won't ever have, even if we kill the entire earthly creatures. And... do you know what's the difference between the wolves and the foxes? I know it, that difference, even if I hate to admit it: they never kill for pleasure while we are always doing that. Also, they have the power to bring life in this world while we can only take lives," and, in those words said by her, Inmar put all the hatred her heart was capable of because she hated Rophions with all her heart, for they defeated her so many times, and each defeat was a shame Inmar could never accept.
„Don't worry, Inmar,” the girl told her while staring toward the place where Gaea and Samandra were hiding, spying on them. „The time when the wolves will kneel in front of us will come soon and then, yes, we will have the pleasure not only to see them defeated but also to slaughter them till no trace of that damn people of Rophions will be found on Earth." After saying such big words, the girl turned her back on Inmar and entered the tent.

Suddenly, Inmar shuddered, with all her body, even if she was so happy hearing the girl talking like that, for she wanted so much to see the Rophions on their knees in front of her, even if she was afraid of their power, and she was also afraid of the hatred she planted in the girl's heart for 5 years, for the same power she wanted to use against Dike and against his people of powerful wolves could have also turned against her and against her foxes one day, for she never knew what exactly to expect from the girl.
Inmar actually never wondered who that girl was. She just took her with her, to the village of the red foxes, after finding her alone in the woods, for she saw, in the little girl, a huge power, but Inmar could never see what really was hidden in the girl's soul. But even so, even if the girl could have been someone to harm the foxes due to her human blood, a blood that made the humans'character be so changeable, she took that risk, for the girl from the woods had huge power, she was even more powerful than any other fox and even more powerful than Inmar was, and, having her by their side, they could have been protected forever.
Years, however, passed without great events, the girl grew a lot since she found her in the Glade of Mannar, and Inmar could breathe a sigh of relief, from time to time. But she was also frightened, all the time, for the girl didn't remember her name, who she was, or how did she get to that glade, and this could be a bad sign, especially for them. And, one day, after about a year of living with her, a time when the girl didn't say a word, she asked Inmar about her name, one day, but because Inmar didn't know it, she also called her Samaya, as the little wolf cub's name was, that cub she hated so much, for an unknown reason to her. And, after Inmar gave her that name, this new Samaya followed her like a faithful dog, everywhere, being ready to break anyone into pieces if that anyone would have tried to harm the red foxes.
Eventually, when she finally came back to her senses and stopped staring at the woods where Gaea and Samandra were, Inmar approached the big cauldron in which their lunch was boiling and, taking a small bag out of her pocket, she took some magic dust from it, which she later threw in that decoction, seeing the nearer future on its surface: two girls, staying face to face in the heart of the woods - a little wolf cub and a little red fox, both looking exactly the same. Seeing this, Inmar sighed and slowly whispered Samaya's name, for a doubtful future was spying on each of those two Samaya, allowing death the sneak toward them and threaten them with destruction.
