Finding himself in his masters fortress, Fukushu gazed intently at the gem in his hand. Inside he could see a swirling mist, which he recognized as Villars essense. Turning towards the other lieutenants he noticed a look of disbelief on their faces. "Where's Malak?"
"Destroyed," Casseus answered. Fukushu nodded, his vulpine features forming into a scowl.
"Is it true," Casseus asked. "Has Villar been defeated?"
"His body is no more," Fukushu said quietly. "Only his essense remains and it will be quite sometime before he can assist us."
"Then we have lost," Abolith stated. "The wizards shall destroy us."
"Not necessarily," Fukuahu smirked.
Abolith and Casseus gave the kitsune a confused look as he now beckoned two robed figures forward. Turning they could see a pair of liches, one in dark robes while the other wore red. "I believe you already know Deimos and Selene, " he said. "They shall be taking the place of Villar and Malak."
"What shall two liches offer our cause," Casseus huffed.
"Careful," Selene purred, removing her beauty mask and exposing her rotted face. "I do not have any qualms of aucking the life from your bones."
"Now is not the time for petty arguements," Fukushu said quickly. "The wizards have dealt us a critical blow but we may yet win the day."
"Who put you in charge kitsune," Casseus snarled. "With our Lord gone what makes you think you are a better leader than I?"
In an instant Fukushu crossed the distance between them, grasping Casseus by the throat and lifting him into the air. "Do not think that you are irreplaceable Casseus," Fukushu growled. "Their are those far more powerful and just as clever that I can easily bring into my inner circle."
Casseus gagged, straining against the kitsunes iron grip. As Fukushu released him Casseus crumpled to the ground, rubbing his neck as he stared daggers at the divine kitsune.
Fukushu smirked as he now conjured his world mirror, waving his arm as an image now began to form. The group now beheld a startling image. They could see each of the magical realms. Liches, Lycans, Mummies, Dragons and Kitsune all in their native lands. What was so different now though was what was with them.
A news helicopter now hovered above the mountains, recording an image of a dragon anxiously gazing at reporters. European troops mustered on the border of the forest, their weapons pointed at the remnants of the Lycans. Japanese defense forces now surrounded the Kitsune home, Fukushu could see his sister Kiko now anxiously talking with the mortals that gazed at her fearfully.
"A final gift from our dear departed Lord," Fukushu smirked.
"What is this," Abolith stated in awe.
"A new world," Fukushu said proudly. "One in which all the realms of magic have converged. The magical families now coexist with mortals."
"How does this help our cause," Casseus asked.
"Because now," Fukuahu said. "We can win both magical and mortal allies to our side. Destroying those that would stand against us."
"A world war," Abolith smiled.
Fukushu nodded as he drew the dark elf close to him. "Yes," he smiled. "A war that would give us control of the world. One that would have me as its king, with you by my side as queen."
Abolith eyes went wide as Fukushu now removed her veil, revealing the delicate features of the dark elf. "Be my queen," he whispered. "Rule this world by my side."
Abolith smirked, bring her face close as she gave the kitsune a passionate kiss. "Always my love."
"So what are our plans now," Casseus said loudly, interrupting the couple.
"We form alliances with the other magical families before finding mortals that would join us in self preservation," Fukushu stated. "But first, some revenge. Deimos, Selene, find the ones know as Cole and Kumiko Harris. They reside in a hospital with their newborn. See that they have view another day."
The liches nodded, vanishing from sight as the divine kitsune brought his dark elf bride closer. Plans may have changed but they would still have their chance to rule.
