Once upon a hi, readers. Burning Rhapsody here. As the Great William Shakespeare once said."Love me or hate me, both are in my favor... If you love me, I'll always be in your heart... If you hate me, I'll always be in your mind." That qoute couldn't be more true about what goes on daily in my life I have numerous people who are happy that I'm following a dream of mine, and I have the ones who think they need to bring me down. All you have to do is. "Set some goals. Stay quiet about them. Smash the hell out of them. Clap for your damn self." Smashing the goals I originally planned for. So i guess the little guy came out on top, because I'm soaring over the ones who said I wouldn't be shit, I mean look I'm an author not a well known one but one none the less and as I evolve I may even write an actual book and have it published. Hell with out any of the one's who supported me from the beggining, and I hope I can make you all proud as I evolve as an author. Thankyou all and Fuck them haters.

Kota pov.

I finished rapping, after I put everything I had into the performance. I watched the crowd for a good 10 seconds before everyone in the dance club erupted into applause. This had to be the proudest moment of my life. I thought but I was soon pulled from those thoughts as I was tackled into a hug by Duchess. She wouldn't stop saying how proud she was of me.

"Duchess please your gonna make the crowd, and the reader. Think were dating, I just want to spend time with you as a friend before I jump into a relationship with you." I spoke in soft friendly tone.

"Well damn I was hoping to have a boyfriend to piss off my half sister Ophelia."

"Come on the least I can do is buy you dinner for coming here, I owe you it anyway."

"Oh fine but I'm still treating it as a date, except this time as friends." Duchess spoke in happy tone. "I know the perfect spot."

Earlier in the day.

Timon pov.

I was walking through the woods when I noticed a powerful person, So I did what any logical champion of a goddess would do I followed it.

He was walking to where Kota's aura was coming from. Untill we were right beside the path he was taking I hid in the shadows to see what he would happen.

Kota stopped in the path to grab a ciggerette. Saying a few things under his breath. Before taking 2 mre stpes before stopping again feeling a power nearby he look towards the bush the person I was followiing

They both started talking while Kota formed a ice sword in his hand. The monster of a person launched towards Kota Striking him with a back hand sending him flying through multiple tree's. The whole time that beast was laughing. Maniaclly. Before he speak again.

Kota stood up smirking. What is that fox thinking? I thought quite confused. Kota rushed forward creating another ice sword so making that 2, he used a flurry of strikes hitting the Monster multiple times from what I saw Kota was winning. Dodging a single attack Kota jumped up and went for a downward strike. Only for the monster to catch his sword, This gave Kota time to strike his side with a full froce blow which could have easily sliced a small moutain in half. But to my suprise. The monster was unfazed even though he cut through it armor slashing his side. Kota jumped back to dodge the powerful punch sent his way.

Stopping to say something Kota rushed foward striking from every direction only for the damn monster to tank every hit like nothing. Kota is a skilled warrior no one last this long against him. I thought still shocked to see something so powerful.

Kota once again went for a downward slash, only this time that damn beast caught his sword Kota took the time to strike the monster left leg.

This time they were close enough for me, to here him say those fateful words.

"You won't win with weak attacks like that, Fox" He spoke in monotone voice.

Soon after it grabbed both of his swords doing what was thought to be impossible, He shattered Kotas Ice swords Theirs only 2 other mortals who can do that. Kota looked just as shocked as me. The Monster of a person used this to his advantage, he knocked Kota to the ground getting on top of him Using some sort of magic he increased the wheight of his body crushing Kota, doing the same with his Hand he started pound Kota's face in all he could do was scream in pain. This went on for 3 minutes probably the longest 3 minutes of his life. I noticed a ball of light being asorbed by Kota, it gave Kota a huge boost in power he knocke That thing off of him. Before using power never seen or used by Kota He created a whip out of water with the moisture in the ai. Using said whip Kota grabbed The beast by his neck pulling him foward at speeds unseeable by the naked eye. Before he reached the monster of a man he created a new ice sword except this one was different it as not ice blue like his normal ice it was a brillant violet, royal blue perfectly mixing making the most beautiful sword I have ever seen.

When he was close enough Kota Hit the thing over the head unlike any attack before, it fazed the beast long enough for Kota to escape. Me doing the same soon after not wanting to face the thing alone.

This is bad. I Thought nervously. I need to find Kota before its to late. I ran towards where Koat ran, I grabbed my phone calling Shino.

"Hello" I heard on the otherside.

Shino it's Kota he needs our help he is on the brink of death. Theres a monster out to get us, he is powerful maybe as strong as a God." I yelled into the phone.

This is bad You know where Kota is?" Shino yelled worried.

"He ran towards the enchanted lake." I spoke with urgency in my voice.

"I will be there as soon as possible."

Walking towards Kota on the ground laying on his front side. A monochrome girl ran up checking his pulse. I walked foward asking what happened.

Kota's pov

current time.

"Hey Duchess You like me don't you." I asked

"No I don't like you that way. Just seeing you lay on the ground borderline dead. It concerned me." She spoke kinda protective of my qeustion.

"Your physique chaught me off guard. You are 16 Right?" She asked with a voice of pure wonder.

"Yes I'm 16 I have been traveling and having battles for 5 years now, It started when I first got my powers, I was hunted by scientists who wanted to disect me. My family died when they attack our home they killed everyone infront of me I felt a strong burning in my soul when I saw a figure jump infront of me. He use ice magic to freeze the men sent after me solid. I slowly started to blackout my vision was on and off. I saw a rabbit hole open and after that I blacked out from the shock. I awoke in Wonderland with my Dad. Apparently I earned my Fox features because I solved a supposlebly impossible riddle." I spoke somewhat to fondly of the memory.

"And what Riddle was that? Duchess asked quite intriged.

"Why is a raven like a writing desk?". I spoke with a not so sane tone.

"What! There's no way." We heard high pitch voice yell.

"If you solved it you have to be as Mad as a Hatter." It was Maddie the daughter of the Mad Hatter.

"Well let's hurry up and get dinner I'm starving." I spoke while rubbing my stomach insanely

"If you know it then how about you tell's us. Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Maddie asked me soon after sounding insane as always.

"Why is a raven like a writing desk you ask?. Because it can a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is NEVAR put with the wrong end in front! I spoke sounding like the hatter being very heavy on the ar in NEVAR.

"That's so insane it might work Kota you truly are a sly fox arn't you." Duchess spoke highly of her fox friend.

"Well Hex ya later Maddie." I tried to speak to Maddie but she already dissapeared somewhere. Probbaly being mad as a hatter.

"You better pay for it fox as a gentleman should."

"Who said I'm a gentleman?" I asked quite confused

"I did. Your mine till after dinner." Duchess spoke happily.

"Please god save me before she sucks the life force out of me!" I screamed for help only for everyone to continue on with their day.
