Chapter 15

Stefan

Stefan enjoyed his conversation with the purple sage despite his past when she sat up and reached down to the floor. Returning with a small soft gray foxen in her arms, the old lady pet it with one hand. 

“This is Chrome.” 

He smiled a little wider and nodded his acknowledgment of the creature. Foxens had many similarities to both cats and foxes. 

They were usually small and wiry, like both species. But they had an undercoat of soft cotton-like fur like a kitten would have, while the outer coat was sleek as a fox’s. The foxen turned its head lazily to look at Stefan. 

“She wanted to meet you.” The purple sage explained and waved her free hand at him.
