Flora walked with Chase alone. Athena was booked solid with doctor's appointments so Chase was spending the day with Flora .He stopped having to use the restroom so Flora waited. The dragoness let out a sigh as she relaxed she had grown quit comfortable around him and Chase had come to consider her a friend. Chase quickly came out.

"I hope you washed your hands." She said.

"Yes Mom" Chase teased.

She just smirked in response the two were out shopping it was Chase's turn to run errands.

 “Hey Flora, I wanted to thank you." Chase said

Flora looked at him confused.

“For what?" She asked.

“If it wasn't for you I never would see Athena again, its means a lot to me so thanks." Chase said smiling.

Flora smiled before a familiar scent filled her nostrils.

“I need to get the bathroom. “She said hurrying off. She found a private restroom slipping in locking the door behind her.

She looked in the mirror Shinryu's face appeared.

“You seem to have gotten comfortable Valkyrie." Shin said raising a brow.

“I am only following my mission" Flora stated

“Remember Valkyrie, if he knew who you really are WHAT you really are all that affection and respect he has for you would turn to hatred and disgust in an instant. He would turn on you just like all the others before him. Or perhaps you have forgotten the suffering you were forced to endure before I met you." Shin said

Dark energy formed around her paws.

“I will never forget…." She hissed.

She came back to see Chase waiting holding a few boxes.

“Are you alright you look irritated." Chase asked

“Yeah I just need to go its work you know how it is." She said.

Chase nodded in understanding.

“I…had fun." Flora said smiling before making her way to the exit. Once outside she spread her and took off.

Flora flew through the air over a large forest far from civilization. After a few hours she landed making her way into a cave where Shin himself sat on a throne made out of stone the corpse of Hiroshi laid at his feet.

“Where you followed?" He asked.

“I never am." Flore answered.

“Must you wear that disguise Valkyrie…..I prefer to see your true face." Shin sighed.

“You are the only one." She quipped.

Flora sighs closing her eyes. Her scales shimmer and glow a bit the green coloring vanishing begin replaced by a shade of onyx her underbelly now was a darker shade of pink, matching stripes adorned her back and wings. She digs her claws into her chin pulling as she took off her facial mask. Revealing an all too familiar face, she bore a strong resemblance her father the late dragon lord Kira the only difference besides their gender was she removed her special contact lenses showing her true eye color which was a shade of bright yellow with slit pupils and pink stripes where Kira had green.

The resemblance was so strong that she could easily be his twin and she was even mistaken for him at times however that also made her the subject to constant abuse from others. The massive scar between her breasts was a testament to just how severe the abuse had gotten. She had no love for Kira the only thing he ever gave her was that scar. However despite that Kira was the one who committed the crimes against furs and reptoids Crimes she had nothing to do with in any way she was still forced to spend her life paying what he did.

“That's much better…..what have you to report on the furs?"

“Skull hunter support among the furs is growing in fact many furs are happy to see so many assassinations and attacks on the human and reptoids governments. Some are even grateful." She said.

Shin snorted crossing his arms. He knew full well the only reason so many furs were rallying to their cause was because they were still bitter about losing the war and saw this as a way of getting revenge. They didn't truly support his goal of ending all corruption they were just supporting the skull hunters because the skull hunters were harming the Reptoids whom many furs still considers a sworn enemy. Shin didn't favor either side which was the most useful. The kitsune reaches down gripping Hiroshi's corpse. The body was soon engulfed in blue flames reducing it to ashes in a matter of second shin opens his muzzle wide inhaling the flames devouring them. This wasn't a mere cremation. By doing this he is able to assimilate Hiroshi's abilities and powers adding them to his own.

“I am quite surprised Chase survived. He is far more resilient than I gave him credit for and knowing him will prove to be troublesome…" Shin said his tails swaying.

Valkyrie tensed a bit.

“Do you want me to kill him?" She asked slowly dreading the answer.

 Shin thought about it for a moment eliminating Chase would be easy but doing so would cause even more trouble.

“No, I do believe I can convince Chase become of us. For now go back to him learn what you continue to gain their trust and if you find any weaknesses report them to me." Shin said.

Valkyrie put her disguise back on she was relieved that shouldn't have to kill Chase, the human had grown on her. She flew off eagerly to return to Chase's side she assumed he would be back at the palace by now she looked down seeing Athena flag her down. She lands.

“Follow me mom wants to show you something." Athena said

Flora followed her into he war room there she saw the entire battle plan.

“What…is all this?" Flora asked.

Sora looked over smiling.

“Well you did a lot for Athena and Chase I think we can trust you with these plans. This is our attack plan every skull hunter base cell in the area and how are going to finally take them out. We could use your help with it." Sora said.

They spent hours in the war room going over plans. This was the kind of info Shinryu wanted if he learned of this he could bring Wyvern to its knees her mission was finally a success she learned their secrets.

After helping and giving her input went back to her apartment. She saw a card on her door and took it off before reading it. It was a thank you card signed by Chase. She smiles before unlocking her door and walking in. She puts the card on the counter next to the stove Chase's word of praise still fresh in her mind. It was the first time in a long time since any had treated her as a person not a monster which left her conflicted. Her whole life person always called her Kira's spawn, having known nothing but pain, suffering and abuse but Chase treated her like a person her own person and expected nothing in return. She was had actually taken a liking to him that was no act but she still feared what he would do if he knew who she really was. The familiar scent hit her nostrils again and she walked to her bathroom looking in the mirror. Shin appeared in the mirror again.

“SO they took you into the war room. They must really trust you then."

“Yeah they do they have been very kind to me." She said.

“Did you learn anything of importance?" Shin asked.

Flora thought for a moment. This was it. If she told shin what she knew her mission was over and the skull hunters would be able to bring down reptoids government. The skull hunters would win their crusade she would be able to finally have her revenge.But then she remembered the card she just received from Chase. She looked sin in the eye a serious look on her face.

“No." She said.

  “Very well then let me know when you do." Shin said his image disappearing.

Flora let out a deep breathe. Her lie fooled the fox. She walked out of her bathroom gazing at the thank you card from Chase. To many it would seem like nothing to her it was a prized treasure. She still wanted her revenge but now….it didn't seem as important as before.
