Back with and Shine, this time I feel thanks to the slightly better anatomy, this version of her is by far the best one I've drawn. True, it's not how she truly appears in Second Life, but there is no doubt it's the same vixen.

Trouble at Aispir

It didn’t take long for Nicholas and Shine to get packed up for their return to the water city of Aispir. The whole time the vixen was smiling and humming happily. “You’re in a mood babe,” the fosky told his girl with a grin.

“I am…” she cooed and went over to wrap her arms around the long-haired male. “After all… it’s where we really became one. How could it not hold a special place in my heart?”

“Yeah I feel that way to.” They shared a loving kiss.

The couple were soon on the plane that would take them there and once again Nicholas was driving. However, upon getting closer to the city, they saw it was anything but what they had remembered. “Wait…” the female whispered.

“What the hell has happened here?” the male asked.

They could see the dark grey storm clouds hanging over this place like a disease or smog cloud. Rain was falling down and the buildings and lights were all off. The ocean the city was nearby even appeared dark and grey. Waves like those with stormy weather but small were lapping at the shores. There didn’t seem to be anyone here out and about. Nicholas landed the plane in the same place like last time. They emerged out in the rain but luckily the fosky used his power of wind to create some shields around them that repelled the water away. Here they saw things were even worse than seen before. There was no sound of music or laughter. In fact, the couple even heard what sounded like crying and mourning. “How horrible…” the fosky whispered.

“You have yet to see the worst of it,” went a familiar voice. Looking showed it was Brutar with his family and daughter. The little otter ran up to hug Shine and Nicholas.

“You came!” she exclaimed.

“Hello little one,” the vixen whispered with a grin, picking the child up. The young one smiled as did her guy. When they had seen her a second time they had learned her name was Alexis.

“She’s been so excited to see you two again,” said her mother. “Ever since we got hit hard she’s been really scared.”

“I imagine,” Nicholas said after giving Alexis a pat on her soft head. “Can you say what happened? Where’s Ralis and Oren?”

“I think you’d better follow us,” Brutar told the couple. Alexis was placed down and she went back to her parents. But Nicholas had noticed the way Shine had held onto the little one. It was almost like a mother with her child. He knew now without a doubt if they ever had kids, Shine would be more than the perfect mother and partner to help him raise them.

The otters lead the fosky and his girl to a covered shelter. “With the attacks happening our rulers have set up a spot here to help us out,” the male otter explained.

Soon they were standing before the rulers who were at a table. Nicholas and Shine saw Ralis and Oren were stressed out, their eyes having bags from signs of little to no sleep. Something like that had to be tough on such young rulers. But when looking up and seeing the fosky and vixen, they’re eyes got hope and they broke into smiles. “They’re here,” Oren said to her husband and king.

“Yes,” he agreed and bumped fists with the long-haired male.

“We came as soon as we heard,” Nicholas told the male otter. “It looks bad.”

“You can see it our city has been attacked. We were repelling enemy attacks from the water. And then the spirit of water who lives here was attacked. You see the rain falling? That’s one effect of the enemy attacking here. And on top of that we’ve lost some good species and we’re pretty down. With our spirit attacked, we’ve been under assault even harder by the enemy.”

“Do we know who’s leading them?” Shine asked.

“Not yet,” Ralis replied.

“Well maybe it might be one of them,” Nicholas stated and went on to explain about the new High Command member he and his girl had run into.

“That is troubling,” Oren commented. “In that case-“

Suddenly like last time, everyone felt a tremor of power like with Farosh. Only this time it felt like the pure essence of water. And the cry was a different kind of roar. Those in the shelter all rushed outside. In the distance to the right of the city by the ocean there seemed to be some kind of mountain and forest range. The mountains here were very different than the last ones Nicholas and Shine had seen. But even in the rain and grey colored, everyone saw it; the flickering outline of a massive serpent like body. But not much else could be seen except the brief flicker of something that looked like an eye. The thing let out its roar again before disappearing from view. “He’s still there, I can feel it,” Nicholas stated.

“It’s just like with Farosh… I remember him a bit,” Shine said. “I remember from my past self as Ish when we fought against that evil.”

“Yes but… if it is the Yuga Clan that attacked, why him to? Why attack the spirit of water Mugandr?”

“Whatever it is it can’t be good.”

“I think so to,” Oren agreed. “In any case, why don’t you two rest and then tomorrow set out to help him?” That sounded like the best course of action and so Shine and Nicholas were shown where they could sleep. The two did and unlike last time the vixen wasn’t worried or needed reassuring from the love of her life. Both felt ready for this and were ready to tackle whatever was thrown at them.

I've also decided to stop putting in tracks. It was way too much of a hassle.
