Morning crept into the apartment slowly illuminating a small part of the bedroom. The 2 snuggling fox girls started to slowly open their eyes. Elysia was the first to wake up but still was drowsy as last night events really had exhausted her. Elysia looked down and saw Shaman smothering herself in Elysia's chest with a grin.

'this really isn't a dream.' Elysia smiled and gave a small kiss on Shaman's forehead causing her to wake up. Shaman pulled away and sat up rubbing her eyes with a yawn.

"goood morning." Shaman was still half asleep so her speech was slow.

"morning." Elysia was still lying down in the bed smiling at Shaman.

Shaman fully opened her blues and looked over at Elysia and returned her smile with her own. Then Shaman leaned in and gave Elysia a morning kiss. After pulling away Elysia also sat up and started to pat Wolfy who was an arms reach away.

"So what's the plan for today?" Elysia was not sure what they would do as they had not quite recovered from the dungeon and nightly affairs'.

"I'd say we go bury the bodies and pay our respects first and then we can take the day off as I really do not feel like going in the dungeon at the moment." Shaman was also worried that they would have the dungeon under stricter restrictions and it would be hard for them to enter, especially if they placed higher tier guards at the entrance.

"Fair enough, well shall we take our morning bath and head outside the walls to bury the bodies." Elysia saw the sad glint in Shaman's eyes and understood that it was important for her to send off the group of beast men properly.

Shaman and Elysia had gotten ready and wore more casual clothes with Shaman just in a white top with black shorts. Elysia had gone with a black skirt with a shoulderless top. They made their way towards one of the city gates as they intended to go into a nearby forest to bury the bodies.

"Feels nice wearing casual clothes for once." Elysia felt free as her battle wear was more tighter on her, although comfortable it was refreshing not wearing it for once.

"It feels too nice and now I feel uncomfortable." Although Shaman enjoyed it, she had gotten so used to her battle wear as now it felt weird going into casual clothes for once.

"We need to go out more with just us 2 and Wolfy and relax." Although Elysia wanted to get stronger her motivation was not as strong as Shaman's.

Shaman pondered for a bit as it did feel like all she has done has been fighting with just 5 minute breaks.

"Maybe I should slow down." Shaman did not want to slow down as she wanted to return back home as soon as possible but that could take years and so maybe taking time off to just enjoy herself might not be a bad idea.

Elysia also spotted a sad look on Shaman's face and was curious why she looked sad.

"What's with that sad look, you know you can tell me anything if something is wrong." Elysia was a little concerned and wanted to learn about Shaman's origin as at times it seemed like she was not familiar with the world.

"I'll tell you about it once we are in the forest." Shaman decided to tell Elysia about her predicament as she now fully trusted Elysia and did not want to hide anything from her anymore.

Elysia nodded and was feeling happy as Shaman was starting to open up more about herself, she also wanted to tell her own story to Shaman but decided to wait a little bit longer.

Shaman and Elysia continued to walk hand in hand and went through the gate with no issues.

They entered the forest and found a clearing. Shaman took out the spatial ring from their inventory and looked at it. Tears started to form as she was not quite mentally ready to see their dead bodies. Elysia came behind Shaman and hugged her as a way to try to console her.

Although Shaman did not want to cry, the soul within her was reacting causing her emotions to go wild. After sobbing in Elysia's arms for a little while they started to dig 4 holes. Surprisingly Wolfy's [Shadow claw] was good at excavating the ground and so it did not take long to prepare the graves.

Shaman had also asked one last question before she buried the bodies.

"Can I revive them?" Shaman wanted to see if there was a way to revive them and was it possible for them.

[Yes but it is something that you cannot achieve]

These words from the system hit Shaman right in the heart causing it to ache. Her tail dropped and so did her face. She looked at the ring one more time and started to pull the bodies out one by one putting them in their respective graves.

Shaman started to cry once again as the thought of not being able to revive them although there is a way really hit her and so Elysia took over so Shaman could be left to cry.

After the bodies were buried Shaman knelt down in front of them and gave silent prayers to them as although there was a way it would be impossible to save them. The will in Shaman was crying out as it wanted to save them but was unable to do anything while inside Shaman's soul.

Elysia also sat next to Shaman and cried along with her as the group was not all that bad and was sad to see such good souls die.

After mourning for 30 minutes they walked a little bit away from the graves so that Shaman could tell Elysia about who she really is.

They found some boulders to sit on, although it would not take long they would rather sit down. Wolfy had also taken refuge inside a log and was exploring a little, killing all the tiny insects.

"One thing before I start talking. I am still Shaman and always will be. It is just the circumstances I have found myself in." Elysia looked at Shaman confused as now she had no idea what Shaman was going to say.

"I am not from this world and I used to be human." Shaman got straight to the point which left Elysia a little dumbfounded by the straightforwardness.

Elysia thought about it for a moment but after coming to a conclusion she responded.

"So?" Elysia did not actually really care as Shaman was here now and it did not really matter to her if she was human or not.

"Wait, so are you not going to freak out or ask any questions or anything." Shaman was expecting a strong reaction from Elysia but instead got a very bland reaction like nothing had changed.

"huh? why would I have any questions, is it not self explanatory." Elysia cocked her head to side causing Shaman to feel a little dumb.

"But the whole reason I am telling you this is because the reason why I want to get strong is to be able to go back home." Shaman stated her motive to Elysia and she finally got a reaction.

"WHAT! but can you take me with you?" Shaman was dumbfounded now as it was the opposite of what she thought. she expected it to be an outburst and Elysia crying telling her not to go but it seems like it has come to a more favorable outcome.

"I-I don't know and I was hoping that would be the case but are you sure you want to come with me." Shaman also realized that she did not know about Elysia's past and was now getting curious why she was open to leaving this world with her.

"Because you are the only family I have and I am sure where you are from is a much better place than this." Elysia pouted a little.

"Oh, so can I assume that your parents are no longer around." Although reluctant to ask this she still wanted to know. Elysia sighed as it was a touchy subject for her but she was fine with disclosing some details.

"Yes, my parents and little brother died in a raid on our village from a group of mercenaries and because I was playing in the forest I avoided the attack. I will talk about it more but I am not quite ready to talk about it." Shaman nodded and was happy that Elysia was willing to share a little bit of her past.

"Well anyway the thing about my home is that there are only humans, no beasts, no monsters, just animals. There is even no magic." Elysia's interest was now peaked as it was a world that sounds like it should not exist.

"So if we were to return I don't know if we keep out fox features and if we do, it could be a lot worse than it is here." Although it would not be as bad, Shaman thought the popularity they would gain would be too much.

"Oh well, as long as it is better than here I do not mind but no matter what I am going wherever you are going." Elysia had now jumped at Shaman hugging her.

"Fine." Shaman gave up and felt really happy about Elysia's response and so she hugged Elysia back.

"hehe~ you can never escape me." Elysia was acting a little playful and wanted to have some fun before they headed back.

"jeez we just had a funeral isn't a little too soon." Although Shaman understood the vibe she felt like it was too disrespectful to Gerald, Jessica, Max and Gemma.

"Fair enough plus we still have a bit of talking to do about your circumstance." Elysia also noticed that Shaman still had not told her everything yet.

"Yes there is one other thing that I need to bring up, although I am not 100% sure there may be bigger problems ahead of us."
