Malix had seen the world over a dozen life times, but for once he had found a place he had never seen before ... or at least he couldn't remember seeing it before. He was in the entrance to what looked like a school, mainly from what looked like students milling about, off on their daily routines. He had never liked routines, though the beginnings of many have his lives seemed oddly similar, but that didn't matter. He wondered what all they studied in this academy ... form the variety of students it must be quite interesting.

A fox trotted around, a stuffed animal off a bunny on her back, not paying any attention to the direction she was going. Her only concern was to sniff around the school in the comfort of being a fox. She began to smell some one, but then she ran into the man.

Malix felt a small, soft object collide with his person and immediately looked for the cause of the impact. He saw the fox and the rest fell into place. He knelt down and pat the fox on her head. "I'm sorry little one was I in your way? I do need to keep myself from being so distracted. Are you hurt?"; he said with kind smile on his face.

Seeing as the man was touching her head, he would be able to hear her in thoughts. The fox shook her head and make eye contact so she could project her thoughts, "No sir. I too should keep my thoughts in the area, rather than thinking in the midst of trotting." She then backed up and sat on the ground; she not being sure as to what to do. One one hand, she was now afraid of him, on the other she could just try and not be so scared. The fox shivered, then began to walk in the opposite direction; the fear driving her emotions.

Malix blinked for a second, then smiled and replied mentally, "Don't be afraid little one, I'm not going to hurt you. In fact maybe you can help me, what is this place? It appears to be a school."

Fox sunk in her spot, but then managed the courage to turn around to walk back. She touched her head to his hand, "This is an academy for gifted students and teachers." Then she sat and looked at the man with wide eyes of fear.

Malix's smile grew, "You don't have to be frightened, I won't harm you. So do you thing you could do me one more favor? I would like a look around but knowing my own luck I'll end up at the end of a fire ball or a warping spell and who knows what else. Would you be so kind as to give me a little tour? I would be ever so grateful and I would like to be better acquainted with you. My name is Malix, what is yours my little fox friend.

The fox transformed into a little girl with bright eyes with fox ears and a tail. She held her bunny close and mumbled, "Fox." At first she reached for the man's hand, but then quickly took it back and frowned, she almost thought it was her daddy's hand. Fox looked into his eyes and nodded.

"I see, so you name is Fox. Well Fox lead the way, and my the tour begin." He smiled at Fox, she was such a timid little one. He hoped that soon she wouldn't be so frightened of him.

Fox walked forward, hugging the bunny to death; the fear still thrived. She kept a good distance away from him and looked over her shoulder every once in a while.

Malix followed Fox, She's so timid, I don't need to be psychic to know some thing has happened to the poor girl. I wish I could help but I doubt she would open up to me. Well no since in not trying... "So how are you feeling? Do you like this school? Are your fellow class mates nice?"

Fox replied to him, "I sorry Malix. Though nothing has happened to me." She sighed as she thought of her parents, "I just miss my mommy and daddy." Even though she wanted to stop and just go back to her room, she figured it wouldn't hurt to show him around.

"What happened to your parents?" If they had died, it made since that she was terrified of the world. To be all alone, he had no idea what it must be like. He had always been alone by choice, it made life simpler, but he could always go back and see his family. Also to have had so many made it had to be to attached to any of them. He was worried for her, no one should be alone like that.

Fox shook her head, "I don't know. They haven't sent me a letter or anything. They dropped me off here, then they left." She frowned some more, "I hope they made it back home."

"I see ... I know we only just meet, but if you have no where to go ... and if you have no where to go, you can stay with me. Until we find your parents of course." He smiled, "I couldn't live with myself if I left a little one all by herself like this ... yes, come stay with me, and I'll take care of everything. Besides, everyone could use a friend." He smiled a deep smile, the likes of which he hadn't seen himself in a long time.

Fox stopped and thought of the offer. "Live with him," she thought, "Or stay here?" Fox stopped in her tracks and looked at him timidly, "Will they let me stay with a stranger? I'm a student here, but I don't have a dorm." She faced him fully, looking at the ground, "What do I do?"

He smiled, "We could always try. It doesn't have to be forever. We can just try it for a while and see if you like it. I think you'd like some one there, we'll get a nice place in town. You can pick it out if you want?"

So many ideas, out comes, and choices; all of it felt like the weight of the world to Fox. She began to tremble and cry.

Malix began to be slightly worried, he never was the best with children. "Listen, don't worry it's all going to be ok. Will go get your thing and move them to my place, and I'll make us some dinner. That sound good to you?"

Malix a smile filled with kindness, "Good, all right lets get your stuff back to the house, and get you something to eat. We'll run by the store are get something good. You like pork? If you do I have some ham at the house all we need to do is heat it up, and it'll be ready to eat."

With the bunny in hand Fox flung her arms around Malix and cried. Never before had a stranger accept her.

Malix was surprised at first, he wasn't sure what to do. He knelt down, and hugged her. He gently held her head, "It's ok, ever thing is going to be ok. How about we go home?" He wasn't sure why but it seemed right.

Fox nodded again. Slowly but surely her crying simmered down to a sniffle; she looked at him with bright eyes.

Malix smiled at Fox, "Right then." He picked the child up a placed her on his shoulders. "All right then, lets head home." Malix began walking back to the house Fox riding on his shoulders.

Fox was still short enough for her to raise her arms in the air and reach for the limbs. She stood the bunny on Malix's head and made it dance with magic; it was all she could do to make her happy.
