When Madam Serenity left the grounds, glade she didn't run into Julie along the way, she
took one more look at the trio of fountain heads, not knowing one had been a lupman
female love doll for a short while.
'That girl Amy, and Penny have a lot of work ahead of them.'
Driving to Penny's apartment and find it uninhabited felt like an old song to Madam
Serenity. So Serenity called, begrudgingly, call Gillie again, and asked if she had any idea
where Penny could be.
The conversation was cold to say the least. But Gillie did let it slipped that Penny was
apparently her -cousin-...
Gillie said that assuming Penny hadn't been kidnapped, that she was likely with her parents
since her fiance was recovering from being "Leoman Reclining."
Serenity didn't expect Gillie to have that address, but apparently she did from a directly
book that Gillie admitted was -still- growing! Serenity shuddered at that. Wondering how
far this 'plague' would spread, and if this plague would stop anywhere at all.
"And it's going to spread faster when my men, my women, get off the mend dammit."
Madam Serenity again passed a chilling goodbye with her life long friend. 'Poor Gill. She
didn't deserve this. There's so much I could be teaching her right now, I've gone through it
all, but I can't believe she'd -abandon- me with that scheme of erasing her own memories.
A trick I can't follow.'
Madam Serenity drove to the house address, finding many buildings were now much larger
to scale... to serve the people living in them that were GIANTS.
When she knocked on the door, she was greeted by a plum colored wolf woman wearing
(what Serenity assumed) was a black wig with chop stick, a kimono done in style of the
four seasons, and had a bust-line that certainly made her practical life an aggravating
nightmare. 'There's no way those things aren't a product of the game!' Serenity felt sick at
whatever perverted lunatic had forced THIS On this poor woman!
She bowed, "Ohayou gozaimasu Madam Serenity. What brings you to the house of the
Glendale Leoman Pride?"
Madam Serenity remembered that she had been hired now to track down the parents of
some children within the pack now, so of course she'd be more known. In particular after
the war with Kurse.
"Hello.... I, am looking for Penny Glen. Is she in?"
"I shall fetch the mistress." Umeko left.
'Mistress?' Serenity readied herself for another person corrupted by the game's
temptations.
The she wolf returned a minute later pushing a wheelchair in witch a light almost white
beige woman was sitting, with a leoman about her age with a gold brown mane flanking
her. The she wolve dotted over her like a sycophant, Penny didn't look too thrilled at that.
"Madam Serenity?" Penny asked.
"Penny Glen? I have four leomans in my car who need use of your particular talent." 'No
need to drive her insane with the details.'
Penny's eyes widened as it clicked what 'particular talents' Madam Serenity could be
logically referring to. "I.. I understand."
Leslie meanwhile miles away thought, 'Oh well. Looks like they won't be staying part of the
still/eternal/unmoving/art world after all.'
Helen replied, 'Well, WE are art, they're sex toys, not nearly as dignifying. Our forms simply
appeal to the Alpha's tastes, they're just to appeal to some sicko who can't get a date.'
++++++++++++
'So there are 'supposed' to be five statues, and thus a complete sub-pack for Kira, Sunny
and Luna, heh, I mean Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Monkey King.' Helen thought/sent/spoke
teasingly.
Nelson quipped, 'Don't worry Kira, you're a romeo enough to convince two beautiful and
intelligent she wolves to mate with you after knowing them for only a few days, and then
deciding to tie the knot while you're at it. ... I'm sure you'll find a couple she wolves to fill
the other nitches soon enough who won't mind sharing eternity with you.'
'On the bright side,' Kira thought/sent/spoke, 'No matter how many people I bring into the
eternal world out of the transient world, I can't just leave anyone I bring in there if I want
to enter the transient world myself. So we don't need to worry about our pups abandoning
anyone...'
After the pups and cubs had relocated to the library to explore the Pack's vast collection of
books, the trio of giant statues found a new visitor looking up at them. She touched Kira
as an offer bowl appeared at his feet as well, he was supposed to be the aspect of a minor
deity after all.
It was a female lupman glass pup, but it clearly wasn't Alice, Samantha, or Abbey, unlike
the uniform appearance (in other species' opinion) of leoman females, lupman females
were much easier to tell apart.
"Aspects of the gods, avatars, facets of Amy's shinto gods who do not carry the grudges of
the whole." She said formally then switched to a slightly less formal tone, "Hello aspect of
Tsukuyomi-no-kami, aspect of Monkey King, and aspect of Amaterasu. Luna, Kira, Sunny.
I am an avatar myself. Congratulations on becoming mothers and a father to be.
Three silent gasps of surprise.
My name is Marie-Eliza. I was turned into Glass, an aspect of Kurse during the fight for Big
Bad Island and the world. After Kurse's death I was left with her power, but not her
insanity or sociopathery or delusional state. I am the game in a way, but not with any of it's
evil. I can sense anywhere it lays it's hands, and you technically have a turn at the game
Kira, so I can sense you. I felt that you needed some explaination at your current roles in
fate.
She looked at Sunny, "When your brother Susanoo-no-Mikoto was drunk and killed one of
your hand maidens -or least he was drunk in some versions-, you went into hiding in
protest of his actions. As the sun god, this left the world slowly freezing to death.
Your friend, Ame-no-Uzume-no-mikoto, the goddess of stage performance among other
things, was able to trick you out of hiding in a trick involving her own stage talents and a
giant mirror and saying how 'this beautiful one is outside', which eventually lured you out,
and you brother swore to not repeat his actions. To note also, there are other versions of
the myth that say Susanoo-no-Mikoto was the one who struck down the goddess of food.
She looked at Luna, Tsukuyomi-no-kami saw Uke Mochi produced the flawless feast by
spitting out a fish into the ocean, coughing up rice, and the rest of the feast out of her
rear."
She felt the three souls inside the statues shudder.
"Still, as a pack you're incomplete since Monkey King Disguised As A Wolf it seems is
effectively becoming his own sub-pack of living art with a divine touch if one accepts the
existence of Amy's gods. So it seems that Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi laid aside with the
Monkey King. Or at least these two aspects of them.
And at least one aspect of Uke Mochi survived to reconcile with Tsukuyomi. Ame-no-
Uzume-no-Mikoto will join aside her friend it seems. Don't worry, existence loathes a
vacuum. Fate itself will insure that two more will come along soon enough to complete the
art pack of lupmen avatars of Amy's gods. As a fellow avatar -though only of a girl with
power thrust upon her that she doesn't want and she know can't be trusted to anyone- I
wish you all the greatest of happiness with each other."
Marie-Eliza's avatar vanished.

1689 August 10th Day of Fate
As Joella looked at her grandfather and to where one of her mothers had left in a storm,
she sighed. "I wish you wouldn't fight grandpa."
Running Bear looked at this girl who had called him grandfather. "I'm sorry Joella. I don't
mean to be that way. But your mothers... are... very set in their ways... they do not like to
compromise."
Joella had no argument there.
"Hello." Both looked to see a naked human girl with her dark hair in a pony tail.
Running Bear quickly put a coat around her put it fell off her almost instantly, he tried this
again with the same result. the geass would never harm Running-Bear, not in a thousand
years.
"Mama, I mean Miss Gita, I mean Miss Gaal, says I don't need to wear clothes if I don't want
to, so nay!" Lark stuck her tongue out at Running-Bear.
Joella said, "Lark that's not nice. And what are you doing here so far from Glendale-?!"
"Mamas-, I mean, the witches wanted one of us to be with you to protect you in case the
evil hunter army came this way and tried to double back and tried to use you as a hostage."
She went to attention. "I'm to destroy anyone who even tries to harm you! The witches have
given me a super important job!"
"Such Responsibility from you. Accepting your role in what is expected of you." Running-
Bear said, "How grown up of you."
Lark looked very confused, "But grown ups are bad, er, I mean, all other grown ups are bad
except for you and the witches, so that CAN'T be a grown up thing! And nobody should
have to work! Everyone should just be able to play."
Running Bear sighed, "Maybe in a fantasy world."
"Which the witches are going to make that everyone can play in!"
Running-Bear wondered, if his daughters had ASKED people to join them, like they had
with Free... would more have willingly joined them? 'Gita. Golwyn. Giselle.'
Golgatha was storming through the praying town, aggravated at her foster father's words.
'How could he ask us to compromise WITH EVIL? One who compromises with evil gives
ground to evil!'
Some miles away Marie Cruz shivered.
Vadican asked, "Marie?"
"Nothing, just thinking how scary it is that there a few thing that I agree with the witches
on. I'm not happy about that."
"Do you want to stop?"
"No. Everything has come too far, and everyone is depending on us like we're depending on
them."
Marie Cruz caught sight of the trees she knew where more than they appeared... most to
how two of the giant boxing-punching-fighting-trees were bored playing cards. A gift
from Oliver to the hexed town's protectors.
And a big wild near next to them with it's neck broken. A couple coyotes with a broken
neck also added to the pile. They took their duty of defending Glendale quite seriously.
Vadican whispered, "How do they see what faces are on the cards?"
Marie Cruz whispered back, "Likely the same way you do."
Now they just waited for the signal, and hoped the trees continued their card game until
then.
Back in the praying town, Golgatha turned an old man into a little boy here, turning back
time for a cripple to before the accident there.
But she was so distracted by her god father's worlds she didn't see where she was going
and bumped into a tall man wearing a hat, jacket, and carrying a musket.
"Hey Woman! Stay out of the way!"
"Maybe you should stay out of mine."
"Watch your tongue Woman! Have you seen a woman nigger about?! She have escaped this
way some time ago according to some other people I asked."
"Her name was Afua?"
"YES! Where is she Woman?"
"Safe from you."
"YOU LITTLE!"
He back handed her, or tried to, he found his body paralyzed.
Golgtha slowly walked around him. While the witches had many flaws, sexism was not one
of them. The man's gun turned into a tree in the middle of town. The big man's clothes
vanished, and he was slowly pushed down by an invisible force onto all fours. His hands
and feet became the same, fingerless hooves. Gold fur covered his entire body as antlers
grew from his skull VERY painfully.
Beauregard, screamed in his mind. As his eyes grew wide and became orbs as solid black
as his soul. The tail again painfully pushed out of his rear. His face became a muzzle and
his teeth flat. His size and muscle mass increased. However he remained frozen.
"You shall live your life as a -coward- among Gold Dear. NOW GIT!" She then slapped him
harshly on the rear, the Gold Deer buck let out a pathetic cry and Beauregard fled madly
out of the praying town.
Feeling very satisfied with herself, Golgatha continued on her way back home unopposed.
