Drowning The Light in Dark

Taira's mind was in a state of constant wonder as he flew through the air in the form of a giant nightmarish fox.

As always, the girls were sitting atop his back and resting before the mission would get underway. 

Inhaling the somewhat stale and bleak air of the permanently dark Tethys, he allowed his mind to think about Lucia just a bit. 

For the most part, Taira doesn't tell any of his wives no. 

It just hasn't been something he's had to do very much, since they almost never ask for things that would make him uncomfortable, or for something he would not be willing to do for them. 

But, when Lucia told him to drop her off in Tethys and let her travel to a different destination from theirs on her own, he immediately denied her request. 

Not because he didn't want her to discover whatever this secret inheritance was that was left for her.
