The stars are always so pretty here Amu thought to herself. She sighed as she stood up on all fours and stretched her legs. Her white fur sparkled in the starlight as she slowly made her way back to her temple, her only home.
The full moon had rejuvenated both her spirit and her body making her feel refreshed and young. If any trainer were to see her now, they would think she was just another ordinary Ninetales. They would never suspect that she was over 500 years old. She felt her spirit sadden at the thought. It had been 500 long years to this very day and still no sign of her pup. She had searched the hieroglyphics on the walls of the temple and the stars for any sign that her pup would return to her. She stopped and gazed at the stars again.
"I wish I could have one glimpse of my pup. Just one to know that my wait was not in vain."
Before Amu could react she was engulfed by white light. When she opened her eyes, she found herself in the middle of a forest in the daytime. As she looked around, she saw a boy walking down the path away from her. Her vision was blurred so she was unable to see the boy clearly. She didn't need to see him though to know that he was her pup. She felt her spirit soar as she realised that he was heading towards the town near her temple.
"Lokee" she breathed as she watched him walking. The boy stopped in his tracks and turned around as if he heard her. Amu blinked and found herself back where she was before she was engulfed by the light. Looking up at the sky she could see the stars slowly fading as dawn approached.
"Thank you my friends" Amu whispered as she bowed reverently at the stars.
A loud roar filled the air signaling her that she was needed back at the temple.
Amu grinned."Won't Sah'aat be jealous to find out that my pup is coming."
She quickly raced into the temple just as daylight broke over the world.
