Sonata Swears a Second Oath in Song, Renard is Revealed
From the back of the Lightning Wolf, Sonata surveyed the scene below.
"Not good." Was the way to describe easily the situation. Regardless of the rain and the wind, she looked sharply through, as the lightning wolf dashed away from the Morningstar. Any reunion with her family had to wait until the situation could be understood. Twisting and dashing as a lightning bolt she descended a fearless rider, her black hair dancing in the wind.
But the sense of Melos, that discordant song, was vanished.
For now, she had to do something. Fayruz's song, the song of her family rang out in the chaos, and the gloom.
Down the Lightning wolf ran, along the front of the approaching forgeborn.
She stood up, on the back of the lightning wolf, and called out.
Fox Princess and Rainbow Servant
"Oh, you most faithful, who found me
when I was lost
who gave me strength
who is most cunning of foxes,
come!
Oh Renard, I summon you to me!"
Despite the wind and the rain, the voice responded from beside, just as from Kodama, the echo and the fox.
Always, it is said
that I will come when the lady of rainbows calls!
I am your fox father, dearest Lady Iris,
even this name of yours is known
to a fox like me!
Harken, I have been in your shadow for some time
"Be quiet and listen for once
I have forever been grateful
So, let it be said then,
in this time of need
I swear myself twice offering,
Look, and it can be seen what comes on Salus.
And yet the song of my family rings and promises
only when that can be finished.
Perhaps then, we can have a victory."
The hopes of the moon and
the realities of our world
have never been the same!
"No." Sonata replied sharply.
"You are wrong. Because I know you, Chief Fox
who has always protected his people
who has taught lovingly and smartly
who has danced artfully to music
who has traveled the world thrice
who gains knowledge by listening
who achieves victory by cunning!
You who are not so different from me,
And I who am not different than you!
Always being within my shadow,
how I should have noticed!"
Sonata reached to her shadow beckoning, and despite the buffeting rains and wind, the fox chief Renard leaped from shadow to arm, laughing a fox laugh in the wild wind, as the lightning wolf turned 90 degrees and dashed at the forgeborn. Over the armies fighting. Between the legs of the hydra brother.
Only Renard has heard your words
and only once will he recognize them!
Only once, for his love of his false daughter!
"Then already Renard the Fox knows
that I intend to stop this foe
at least long enough for my family
to complete their plan."
Of course
Such a child's plan
is more hope than
possibility!
"If I was a human"
If you were a dragon princess.
"If I was a Hymmnoi."
If you were a moon princess.
"If I was a Fox..."
Renard threw back his head and laughed.
Always it is this fear and that fear
Then fine! I will help you as always
for a praise like this, what else can be said?
Now I will say the magic words.
Listen carefully
because you don't listen to your own heart.
But I have heard it's beat in your shadow
many times.
Listen to the advice of Renard!
"Believe in Yourself.
Believe in your Family."
That spark will always
burn brightly that way.
The lightning wolf slid to a stop in the rain, as the battle raged. A small kiss from a fox to a princess of moon, wrapped in the glory of rainbow, untouched by the rain brought by the crown, and clutching the flute burning of dawn's light. Blue lightning sparking and flashing, and the fox leaped from her shoulder to the ground. And there was never a more graceful moment, for a proud fox. And Renard stood at attention with perked ears and slyly spoke.
Now play your song,
and leave me to play
the song of foxes
Learn our song well
and know us,
first servants of
Lady Sonata of the White Moon!"

Renard the Fox Chief Assembles the Foxes to Delay the Forgeborn. The song of Foxes is sung for Sonata
Renard surveyed the battlefield, the approaching Forgeborn. And he grinned a fox grin, and swayed his tail. Such a small motion, but a motion every fox knows. Invitation.
All foxes of the Hymmnoi clans
Aria, Ciela,
Elysia, Tenoi,
Presia, Partih,
Sarla
I called you as Chief Fox
to sing the hymn of Twilight
given to us
by the Children of Baz'Auran,
and by Sonata, who is our lord.
Rejoice!
For what foe can stand against us?
Lead them astray
and lose them in chaos!
Out of the shadows of the warriors hundreds of foxes showed their grins and laughs. And like swift bolts of thunder and lightning they slashed and cut into the forgeborn, and dove into the shadows of their enemies, pinning them in place, so that the forgeborn advance was slowed.
And then the Aria and Ciela foxes arrayed in their ghost colors of mist and steam, joined with Renard, who was among the forgeborn, singing and slaying.
Even if we are standing on this edge,
the line of shadow and of light,
Even if the shadow leaped to in the sweaty rhythm,
is the thorned paw of villain,
tear and gnash!
revel in initiation!
Feel the dance beat from tail dancing,
Wild drum of heartbeat and maw of the twilight
linked of the dark and the light
We are the messengers of the princess of moon
the song of transient melody!
Vanish! vanish! vanish!
Harken, ye hopeless mortal
the grin in your shadow is mine!
and the blood that falls upon your shadow
Bleed!
Bleed!
In our sweltering symphony of life and death
on notes of harmony we dance!
A song of the Ar Maen sung by the light of dawn and rainbow that
fell among us that day
Oh sweet insane melody!
The divine princess who
and gives our illusory lives purpose!
So die!
Return to ash, in this melody of insanity!
Because it was wished
that we songs of illusory fox shall turn to curses
and so we shadow knives a princess's blade and servant,
will shred you all to death!
