The nine tails behind her shining bright, the blue blazes around her. She smiled. The gumhiho stood looking at her foster parents letting them see her true form for the first time ever in their lives, hiding all these years.
The history flashed before Aenon's eyes. The death of the Fox King and life of the fairy and the fox cub handed in Queen Rivera's hands before the fairy took her last breath. The disastrous night and encounters with the beasts. Aenon did not realize that years had passed after the incident which felt like it happened only a few days ago. He realized that his foster daughter has grown into a beautiful lady, a beautiful and powerful gumhiho, standing before him with her full potential.
"Since when did you know about this?" King Aenon managed to ask her. That was the only words that came out his mouth, standing bewildered with Queen Rivera all same, beside him, looking at her daughter with tears streaming down her cheeks.
