The group followed Himeko, however they were confused as to why they were walking straight into a wall.
"Alright stay close to me, we are going up." Himeko stopped right before the wall allowing the girls and Wolfy to get close to her.
Shaman and Elysia held each other's hand as they were very cautious of what Himeko was going to do as they were at the mercy of her and the point of no return had long passed.
Himeko clicked her fingers and fire began to wrap around the group, Shaman instinctively used her water element but upon it being conjured up it was vaporized.
"Oh you can use 2 elements? Also don't worry, the flames won't hurt you." Himeko was now even more curious about the 2 girls as it was uncommon for a person to be able to use 2 elements.
Shaman, Elysia and Wolfy relaxed as a few seconds had already passed and they were not affected by the flames around them. Shortly after the flames vanished and they found what seemed to be a bedroom of some kind.
The room had one king sized bed and was decorated with the colour red. There were many depictions of the Phoenix on the wall with one massive one on the roof. In the middle there was a table that continuously had 3 seats and Himeko began to walk towards the side with one chair.
"Come, sit down and let us have a chat." Himeko gestured for them to come over and sit down while also conjuring up flames that seemed to teleport a tea set on the table.
'I hope I can learn that skill with my fire.' Elysia was rather jealous of Himeko's use of fire and would love to be taught by her if possible.
Shaman and Elysia both sat down at the table across from Himeko and waited patiently while she poured tea for the both of them. Himeko pushed the cups towards them and placed her elbow on the table and held her head and looked at the 2 girls.
"If you don't like the tea, just leave it there." Himeko smiled at the girls and they both nodded.
"Anyway, I have a few questions and the first one being why is the Fox princess of Cecilia Shiroi doing all the way in human territory." Himeko smiled as she could see the frozen struck face of Shaman.
'How does she know?' Shaman could not believe what she was hearing even though she hasn't heard her mothers name yet, she could not help but feel a sense of familiarity with it and could only assume it was the past *Shaman* acting up.
"It's okay, I don't bite and I used to know your mother Cecilia since we were kids." Himeko let out a gentle smile giving off a motherly vibe. Shaman took in a deep breath as it seemed like she was genuine and she had nothing to lose if she told Himeko a little bit of what she knows.
"If I'm going to be honest, I don't have all my memories but the last thing I remember was my mother telling me to leave and come back when I am stronger, It seemed like something terrible was happening back home and Mother seemed really stressed and in a hurry but thats all I can recall." Shaman intentionally left out the details of the black box as she does not know the value of what could be inside.
"I see, so you don't know if your parents are even alive or dead." Himeko began to hop into deep thought.
"If you know anything about them please tell me." Shaman felt like she finally had a avenue to find out more about herself through Himeko and the other *Shaman* inside her was nagging her to say something. Himeko raised an eyebrow as to her it seems like she has no idea what has been happening.
"Do you know what is happening with the Fox realm?" Himeko wondered if Shaman knew the current status of the place.
"Wait did something happen?" Shaman was confused as she hadn't heard anything and Elysia even had a confused look.
"tch, the church must be covering it up." Himeko clicked her tongue in annoyance.
"The church, what are they hiding?" Shaman began to panic a little as it seemed like things were a lot worse on the outside than she originally presumed.
Himeko clicked her fingers and a screen of fire appeared in front of them showing what seemed to be a palace but it was covered in this black dome.

"Currently we have not heard of the Royal family from the Fox realm but about a month ago a dome suddenly appeared and ever since no one has been able to leave or enter, no life has been seen moving inside and we are unsure what the dome is other than it uses the dark element which is a forbidden element to use." Himeko began to explain the situation to Shaman and Elysia.
Shaman on the other hand was having trouble surprising the soul of *Shaman* and began to get out of control.
'Fuck *Shaman* now is not the time to go into a fit, for all we know they are still alive okay so please calm down.' The unstable soul within Shaman began to riot hearing the news and Shaman knew it was not the time to let it have its way.
Shaman grabbed her head as she was trying to fight *Shaman* internally and not letting it take control like she did back in Cholden.
Himeko stood up and went next to Shaman to see if she was okay as it seemed like she was in pain.
"Sorry, I did not expect this news to affect you so badly." Himeko thought she was at fault for why Shaman was like this.
Elysia on the other hand had an idea on what was going on and began to console *Shaman*
"Shaman, it is okay, I'm sure your parents are fine, we just need to get strong enough like your mother said and go back and free them." These words worked wonders as the *Shaman* the inside of Shaman calmed down and seemingly went back to a dormant state.
"Oh its okay its just whenever a sensitive topic comes up I can't help but get a massive headache." Shaman tried to play it off but Himeko was a little suspicious of what just happened and Elysia was just glad that Shaman did not go into a fit of rage like she did last time.
Himeko decided to ignore it for now and went back to her seat.
"Well I won't talk about it anymore but it seems Cecilia sent you out on your own and knew whatever that dome is, was going to happen." Himeko became frustrated as she had tried many times to break through the dome but nothing seemingly worked.
"We will move on as I need to think about it for a bit longer but seeing as you are alive and out of the dome I can only assume you came here for the tier 5 dungeon." Seeing as Shaman was on a mission to get stronger, she could only assume they came to Ebonscale to attempt the tier 5 dungeon in her city.
"Yes, that is why we came to visit you." Shaman was now back to normal but knew she had done something about the soul within her.
"Good, now I will allow you access to the dungeon whenever you want but there is something I want from you." Himeko winked at Shaman sending shivers down her spine and causing Elysia's face to darken like she is ready to murder someone.
"Woah there, she is way too young for my taste. I just want to train you both while you are in my city." Himeko could not help but chuckle at Elysia's reaction as she could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from her but after saying what she wanted Elysia instantly returned back to normal.
"Wait, you will train us?" Shaman was a little shocked as she did not expect she would be getting trained by possibly one of the strongest people. Elysia on the other hand was screaming on the inside as it was exactly what she wanted.
"Of course since you are basically my niece and why would I not spoil you." Himeko poked out her tongue as she could see the confused and shocked faces of the girls.
"Are you sure you want to waste your time on us?" Shaman was a little hesitant and could not believe what she was hearing.
"Oh come one don't be like that, let me show you to your room and we will begin your training nice and early in the morning." Himeko reached out her hand towards Shaman.
"Woah, woah hold on things are going way too fast, are you 100% sure you are willing to take us in." Shaman was failing to understand why Himeko was so willing to take them in.
"Stop asking Questions, let's say I'm doing this because I owe a favor and I know it sounds typical but I'm doing this out of my free will." Himeko stood up and looked at Shaman with a little agitation but also care.
