I've Turned Into A Fox Girl?

Shaman, Silver and Kiruya were rushing through the streets heading towards the noble district. Kiruya was giving directions as they ran and was even tempted to use her wind to speed themselves up.

"It should be the next left turn, then we will reach the noble strip." Kiruya spotted the elf mansions and although they had no idea which one it would be, it was a start.

Running onto the street, Shaman looked around, trying to decide how she would go about investigating the noble houses.

'Tsk I really didn't think this through.' Regretting not having any idea how to go about it, she decided it was best to go to each house and see if Silver recognised the noble.

However, before they could start, an explosion went off at one of the noble houses further down the road. Shortly after, a tornado formed and the silhouette of a person could be seen inside it.

"That might be her!" Shaman knew Elanor was royalty so it wasn't outrageous that she had some magical abilities.

As they rushed to where the tornado was forming, many other elves had come to see what was going on alongside some guards.

"Everyone stand back!" Guards were rushing in while also trying to get the curious bunch of people away.

Shaman was at a loss on what to do as if they interfered they could get themselves into serious trouble.

"Kiruya, what do you think we should do?" Shaman figured Kiruya may have an idea or some way to let them get away with intereferring.

"If I'm honest I have no idea, we can use Silver's shadow, but even then we will still be caught." Kiruya was at a bit of a loss herself as they could be risking their stay in the capital city.

"First let's see if it's Elanor, but from what I can see it looks like her." Shaman looked back at the figure in the tornado, which had a similar figure and hair as Elanor.

While they were talking, Silver looked at the entrance of the mansion as a noble came running out completely distraught.

"Hang on." Looking closer Silver recognised him as the noble who's arm he had chopped off.

"Silver?" Shaman turned to him as it seemed like he had noticed something.

"It's Elanor, the noble ran out of the house and I recognised him." Silver's answer was enough to make Shaman act, but there was now a new development with the tornado.

Since the noble had run out of the house Elanor had spotted him causing her to go into rage.

"AHHHHHH!" A deafening scream echoed out to the entire forest. The tornado then shrunk down, placing Elanor on the roof. There were now tornados swirling around Elanor's arms as she walked to the edge of the building.

Looking over she saw the noble that had kidnapped her, so she raised her arms before slamming them down. The violently swirling wind rushed towards the noble, but before it reached him guards with shields twice their size blocked the attack.

A magical barrier appeared on the shields as they were struck and the spell was quickly diminished.

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Getting aggravated by the actions of the guards, Elanor dashed off the roof directly into the shields.

However, before she reached the shields Shaman opened up a stardust portal, trapping Elanor inside her own dimension. This confused all the guards as they frantically looked around unable to see where she went.

The noble, who was terrified for his life, was on his knees thanking the guards for protecting him. Although, the guards ignored the noble since they were more concerned with the crazed elf.

While the noble was on his knees, his shadow suddenly began to move and he noticed this. Getting flashbacks to the alleyway he quickly stood up and tried to get away, but it would be futile as a shadow scythe came flying out of his shadow.

The blade entered his skull, killing him then quickly vanishing without a trace. The guards, hearing the noble making a commotion, went to get him to stop moving, but found that he had already been murdered.

"Everyone! There seems to be either more than one assailant, or the woman has stealth abilities!" Calling out a quick deduction, the guards disengaged the shield formation and waited to see if anything else would happen.

<Stardust Dimension>

Shaman successfully trapped Elanor into the little pocket dimension she had and opened another entrance for Kiruya to get inside.

"Silver! go kill the noble and then hide while me and Kiruya deal with Elanor." Shaman then jumped into a stardust portal alongside Kiruya.

Shutting the portal behind them, they were met with a raging Elanor trying to find a way out.

"LET ME OUUUUUT!!!!" Wind was going rampant, almost hitting Kiruya and Shaman, but they were able to put up an elemental shield to protect themselves.

"Elanor! Please! It's me, Shaman!" Trying to call out to Elanor in hopes of her coming back to her senses. Luckily it seemed to have woken her up a little.

"Shaman?" Looking over to where the voice came from, Elanor saw Shaman alongside Kiruya.

"I-is that really you?" However, because they were in Shaman's stardust dimension it seemed as if she was dreaming.

"Yes, it really is me. We are in one of my skills so please calm down." Shaman tried her best to explain what was going on while slowly walking towards her.

"I-I.." Elanor started to cry as she thought she would never see Shaman again. She had already lost all hope after getting kidnapped.

"It's okay now, we are here to save you and get you back to safety." Shaman was getting closer and could almost touch Elanor.

The wind that was swirling around finally came to a stop, allowing Kiruya to take down her windshield and Shaman to finally grab a hold of Elanor.

Elanor being pulled in for a hug, felt herself sobbing even more as the light she thought was gone had come back.

"T-t-thank you for coming for me." Elanor relaxed, enjoying the safety that came with the hug and refused to let go at any cost.

"No need to thank us, we came looking for you as soon as we got back." Shaman, while rubbing the back of Elanor's head, hoped she had not created too much of a dependency.

'We are only meant to help her get back to the royal family so hopefully that goes down smoothly.' Shaman didn't intend to get close with Elanor, so it would be rather problematic if she came along permanently.

Kiruya had also walked up, gesturing to Shaman that they should get out of here.

"Elanor can you stand?" Shaman didn't want to leave Silver out for too long and they needed to get Elanor to safety.

"Y-yes." Elanor tried to stand up, but now that her adrenaline calmed down, the shock of her mana awakening hit her, leaving her body too weak to stand.

Shaman caught Elanor and, knowing she wouldn't be able to move, picked her up in a princess carry.

"Kiruya, we are going to move inns so please go ahead and let Clara know." Shaman didn't want to stay in the same spot knowing that there were people after Elanor.

Opening up a portal to a back alley, Kiruya got a headstart and rushed back to the inn.

"T-thank you again." Elnaor felt quite embarrassed being carried, especially by someone much younger.

"Again no need to thank me." Shaman chuckled and exited out of the same portal.

Luckily no one had gotten a proper look at Elanor's face as the wind that was constantly swirling around made it hard to see.

Silver, still having the bond connection with Shaman, was able to find where she was and popped out of the shadow.

"The noble is dead, we are good to go." Silver came out with a smile, happy he was able to do something.

"See? the person you tried to kill is dead." Shaman hoped this would lighten Elanor's mood, as the noble was the main reason for her kidnapping. Hopefully with this she could rest easy.

"I appreciate it Silver." Returning the smile to Silver, it was nice to hear that a noble she deeply hated was dead.

"We are returning to the inn. Hopefully Kiruya has a new place in mind for us to stay in." Shaman informed Silver of their plans and they began to make their way back to the inn.

*

Quickly arriving back at the inn, Kiruya was out the front with Clara holding Elysia on her back.

"Kiruya, did you check us out?" Shaman wanted to move as soon as possible and hoped there were no complications.

"Yes, Clara also packed all your things so don't bother going in. I have a place in mind so follow me." Kiruya didn't really want to use this next destination of hers, but it was for their own safety.

"Cool, let's go."
