The air before him shimmers and forms a portal, and before his eyes steps out the oddest fox he has ever seen. white as snow with ears and tails (yes there are more than one of them) all tipped in red. Her eyes twinkle merrily as her gaze flicks about, coming at last to rest on him. With a bound she's in front of him hugging him hard. "My... ye've almost grown up on me.... it's been years, Kero... how are ye?"

The fox grins. "Of course you know me, but ye were awfully small the last time we were together. I'm Talesian's mother."

*Kero smiles*
Oh...I remember you...vaguely....can you help me...I..I'm trying to do something...for someone I love very much....but I can't do it...not without Time magic...

"What do you want to do, kiddo? Pick a special flower that only blooms once every ten years or something?" She asks sitting down before him and curling her tails about her feet. Her face seems rather concerned.

*Kero shakes his head*
A very, very close friend of sira's and mine was murdered here, five years ago...because she fought back while five men tried to rape her...her mate is now an acolyte, but even I can sense the lingering sorrow in him...I..I want to go back...and save her....she deserves a second chance...one that isn't ruined by these wretched humans...

The fox sinks down to the ground with a sigh and shakes her head. 'Kero, I can't do that. I can travel in time but I'm not allowed to change things. Surely you understand? Only heaven knows what might happen if I did."

"You really don't understand, do you?" says the fox sadly. "When one time travels they must do so as an observer only. To alter even the slightest thing could mean devastating things for a future time. Let's say I go back in time and gather seeds... maybe a grain crop or something of the sort... sounds innocent enough... right? But let's say that the plants from those particular seeds are the only ones which survive a blight and from them grows a stronger seed, helping an entire nation survive a famine at some point later in time. By removing them, I could be condemning an entire country to starvation and quite possibly death."

**You really want that neko gone, don't you.... cry wink **
*Kero starts to answer, then stops, turning away in a huff*
Very well....if I cannot save her, the least I can do is see justice done on her murderers.
*Strides off*

**actually, you have to admit Inari's arguments are extremely valid... and sad to say... Kero needs to learn a lesson here... there are some things in life one cannot change... no matter how awful they are...**
The fox bounds after him. "Hey, wait up! I didn't say I wouldn't help... how do you propose finding those guys anyway... how many were there to begin with?" she calls eager to help.

**Understood...but did it have to be Crystal...as one author to another...I liked Crystal...**
*Kero looks back*
And how do you intend to help...can you sense memories...track a person's crimes? You have power over creation and Time, but what use are those in tracking five murdering rapists?

**coin toss heads her, tails him... he's not a bad kitty... just a tad bit sarcastic...**
The fox moves to his side and matches him easily pace for pace. "I am older, I can shift forms... and fit in... people might trust me better. Did you try to question anyone yet?"

*Kero looks at her, letting his steel gray eyes bore into her soul*
With this gaze...I don't need to...their deeds shine out to me...why would I need to question anyone?

The fox laughs, because that takes time and you could bore deep into the souls of a dozen people while I could be half way to where there men might be with the right question. Besides, do you really wish to learn the sordid pasts of... let's say Goodie Brown or Sam the Limp... really Kero. Sometimes it is best to let yer mouth do the talking and feet the walking. Magic is well and good but not the answer to everything."
**typical Lyssan answer, iffin ye know what I mean**
