They stand outside for awhile. Hei smile and yell to the old house.
"Elder, are you asleep?!"
The little fox come running out. He morph back to the boy form. He show a sign to ask them to wait.
Another twenty minutes pass. Bai Lu feeling the heat from the sun and Hu Li use her tail to block the sunlight for him. Huan Xi squeeze in space with Bai Lu.
"Wait here. I go see him. He is old... might be slow."
Hei runs up into the house. After awhile, they hear noises in the house. Another ten minutes pass. Finally the group see something. Hei helping an old man to walk out slowly. the old man takes step by step. He is a wrinkly small old man with a walking stick that is taller than him. His steps are so slow. Hei is impatient and wish that the old man can move faster. Hei help him by moving a chair near. Finally the old man sits down. Hu Li bow to pay her respect. The rest of them too follow and bow. The old man nod his head and smile.
"You... are... final..ly... her...e."
"We call him Wu Yeh Or Wu master. He lived for a very long time now. That's why he is so wrinkly and slow."
The old man smile and nod his head. He slowly raise his hand and stroke his long beard. He point to his desk on the side and Hei walk over. He open the drawer and remove the letter inside. Hei walk and stand beside Wu master.
'Master white fox, i have written this letter long ago as i move and talk really slow. So It is better that i write it down and let Hei Shi Ren to read it out loud.
Master white fox, i have lived a long time. When you are created, i was a young turtle. Swimming and serving the dragon king in the sea. Now i am getting slow in years, i have resign and stayed here. This place, was built many many moons. It accepted all spiritual creatures that need a home. Mostly are foxes here because they are non violent by nature. We accept anyone who is kind and want to cultivate and live a peaceful life.
Your coming have been written in the stones at the heavenly peak. Your short stay for ...'
"Stop Hei."
"I haven't finish."
"I roughly know what is the letter about. Master Wu. I am just here temperately. I have to return my original home soon."
Old master Wu, smile and nod his head. He raise his hand up slowly and point to the window. Hei walk there and pick up another letter.
'i know that the first letter won't be complete read out. So i'm writing another letter for my final words. I am asking for Master Hei and Master white fox to be the masters of all creatures. To protect the weak and young. We are a different magical beast from everyone. We are the only one that can protect them from the evil of the world...'
"Master Wu, I never want to be a master, even others address me that way. I will help when needed. So there is no need to ask. This is given to me."
"Master Wu, me too. It is given to me."
Master Wu smile, he continue to stroke his beard. He raise his hand and point his finger. Behind the group, someone is standing there. The spiritual animals parted to give way for the man to walk up. His hair is dark emerald green and half tie up. His golden hair pin shines brightly with a red ruby on it. HIs eyes are clear white there is no black. Strangely he looks similar to Hei in terms of appearance however he is calm. He bow to Hu Li and her companions.
"My name is Hei Shi Fei. You can call me, Fei."
"Greeting, Master Fei."
He laugh and look at Hei.
"People always says that Hei and i resembles each other. Do you think so too?"
"Master Fei, aren't you the brother of uncle Hei?"
He laugh and walk up to Master Wu and Hei.
"You can say we are the same, we are brothers but we are different."
"You are not a fox."
"That is correct Hu Li. I am not a fox. Next time, i will explain. Today, let's have a feast."
The crows erupt in a celebration. Bai Lu and Huan Xi skip in a circle holding hands. everyone is laughing and having a good time. Only Hu Li is looking at the three mystic beasts who are standing side by side. They are alike her, a supreme beings.
That evening, everyone is having a good time. Eating, drinking and be merry. Hu Li is watching her son making friends.
"He is a human but your child?"
"Master Fei, yes he is. He have human blood in him."
"This will be a disadvantage to his as time goes by."
"I don't think so. He will develop something as he grows up."
"How old is he now?"
"In human years, eight years old."
"He should be older than that?"
"Yes, i was pregnant for a long time that i lost the time when he is in my belly."
"A normal non magical fox takes up to two months to give birth. A spiritual fox might take up to a year. Never have i hear a beast fox giving birth. You are the first and maybe the only one."
"What type of animal are you master Fei?"
He pick up a stick and scribble a symbol number eight. He continue to trace the number. He said softy.
"Let me tell you a story. When the mountains and seas are created. In the spiritual mountain peak, within the ground three stones are laying there absorbing all the elements that falls on them. Slowly, one of them starts to roll around."
Hei comes up and sit on the opposite site of Hu Li and offer her a jar of wine.
