The Tranquil Notes of an Enchanting Serenade

Interview:

👻:Okay thank you for your time and availability on such a short notice. -smiling-
🦊:We happened to be in the area and free for now, thanks for having us.-looking straight ahead-
🐲:I'm not so busy with work lately, so I could spare the time.-looking at Yu before unstucking her eyes-

👻:-still smiling- So I don't know yet, what the reader's would like to know, but especially concerning happenings in my world now, I would like to ask Yu, how ur world differs from ours? 
🦊:Hmmm... there are a number of things, but since I lived there for 3 months, if I remember correctly, it mainly differs in that: -squeezes Lei's hand, they've been holding hands the entire time, and are sitting next to each other, sometimes Yu leans against Lei's shoulder. The hand squeezing is an attempt to look for comfort- There is no real value to money here. As in that it is not essential, albeit as either a tip or for very luxurious items or I should rather say rare items. 
It's more a system of what do I want to give to them, because I'm appreciative of what they contribute to society, instead of their need for securing their livelihood. 
However,  as mentioned above rare items are still a bit more expensive, but the money mostly flows into the regeneration or creation of the good, if it is an edible thing for example. 
Or it is used to pay those, who have the most hassle acquring it. I
t's like a system of 'Gratification Tokens', because everything that humans inherently need is provided for. And there are also coupons, which are of the same value and can be saved up. It's your own decision, what to use them for, but the government didn't want to flood the market with more money than there is valuables on the earth and so they settled on a seperate currency, which they can give out for those in need, or who decide not to use money anymore and there is a certain amount given to anyone regardless of their income.  
🐲:It is also encouraged to give your own to the less fortunate, even if in our world this is a very loose concept. For example, if your parents decide to not use money, but you prefer to show your value of businesses for money, it takes a lot longer to acquire it. Most importantly it is not exchangable, both are separate currencies with similar and or the same purposes. -she pauses and bites her lip, as if now deciding to shift the topic to where she wanted to shift it initially.- 
🦊: Yes, as I said it is gratification. It does not hold the same value as on your place. It is mostly used for the appreciation but at the same time it is to make sure everyone understands and follows a measured lifestyle. Not frugal or minimalistic, just measured. 
🐲: This can look highly different for each, but it has the follow a certain sensibility and especially the policy of making sure that the resource is not driven to extinction. Or excessive accumulation / consumption for that matter.
🦊: Yes. And some might think, how is that possible, everyone needs to be frugal then. No this is not the case, there are those who prefer the one or the other and naturally through the coupons and the money we are shown: Oh wait, we need to adjust or maybe even indicate that we are allowed to indulge. 

🐲: Another thing is war. -Lei looks at Yu, but Yu smiles and nods in an attempt to reassure Lei.- 
Sorry for interrupting you, Love. -Yu gestures to her to go on- As far as she told me, there is a lot of exploitation and war in your world, but at most, here it is settled with moderated and mediated debates, and if there are those, who are more content with fighting they just do it, but not to death and supervised by certain people.

👻: That's a good keyword. Why do you have weapons? Especially you Yu, you also dabble in smithship?
🐲: Well, weapons are beautiful and in fact useful. Specifically for hunting, which is something that was done throughout our histoy, but has always had more ramifications and even more regulations nowadays. And it is definitely possible to fight with weapons! Without killing your opponent and only incapacitating them, instead.
🦊: Yes I agree, and about the metallurgy, I occasionally dabble in, I just love the craft, but I'm not nimble-fingered enough for jewellery, and also from time to time very impatient, even when it comes to my own weapons, which I also should not be. But I'm working on it.-a broad smile spreads on her face-

👻: Haha, yeah, but now that Lei can lend her breath, you've become a bit more perfectionistic correct?
🦊:-she nods- Yeah if you know something will turn unbreakable, you become a bit more cautious.

👻: Last question for now. -both elicit an 'Aww' sound.- I know I'm also sad, but this already took 2 hours to write ^^. 
Anyway: Describe your appearance in your own words please, with one thing the reader's didn't know of the other. 
🐲: Oh okay. 
So, I have dark red and coiled hair, with a curl here and there mixed in, as my ba has straight hair and I have golden eyes. I'm the only one from my siblings, who does.
But to be more precise they are, depending on the light, one of the various shades gold may have, sometimes leaning more towards amber, sometimes more towards yellow and sometimes more to sunset orange. 
I have a hint of blood flowing, swirling and moving in one of my eyes, but I cannot say which, because the mirror shows it differently, than you see it. 
And one thing about Yu's appearance that reader's don't know yet, is that her body is selectively adorned by fox fire marks and magnolias. One mixture of this mark appears on her forehead, under certain circumstances. -she smiles a bit wickedly at Yu-

🦊: Hahaha -her laugh is clear and her cheeks tint rosé, it lasts a bit and she shyly hides her mouth behind one hand, before she can answer.- 
Okay... Eto.... I don't really have a hair, or eye colour. They are everywhere on the spectrum and nowhere and are inverted mostly, when I turn into a fox. 
But I have not acquired my final form yet. 
One thing about Lei's  body that no one knows yet... 
I don't really want to say, but it probably would be;-she taps her mouth with her index finger, all her fingers have moderately long nails- The scale markings on her skin, which are also red and a pattern of a poppy and lotus flower hybrid, which is scattered here and there. That's all. 
- she grins and then both leave.-

I'm sorry there will be no new chapter today q.q
Sadly I'm caught up in a desperate job hunt and don't have enough creativity for now....
I'm very bad at predicting, for how long this will be, but a good guess would be 2 weeks to a month. Please enjoy the short interview I did with the girls :D

In this story please meet Lei and Yu.

Lei is a an over 10000 year old dragon and the child of someone of chinese ethnicity and someone of french ethnicity. However, as it was over 10000 years ago that her fathers met her french father is also black.
This makes her an ancient dragon with a hybrid appearance of western and eastern dragon legends.

Yu is a over 800 year old fox(Kitsune) witch that is also half Gumiho and has one Korean mother and a Japanese and trans father. Her father was an evil fox spirit, also known as Tamamo no Mae.

However as this seems already like enough, there is still more to it. Another fate from another life tying these women together.

This is a work of fiction and it plays on an alternative earth and with a different history. Additionally to it being set in a fantasy setting.
The magic is still hidden from humans.

In detail this means except for the magic, the AU loosely is based off on a reality, where most major wars did not happen.
However, I am not certain how much opportunity I will have to refer to it in detail, or incorporate it into the narrative smoothly.
This is why I would like to do it in this disclaimer.

Of course, as a good writer I should be able to weave it into the story, but this is a WIP and since my characters live in this setting, it is hard to really indicate the differences to this world, as they don't know about them.
This reality is their normal and as such this poses a lot of difficulty for me in respects of how to elaborate on it.
Thus, for now, it's better to do it in one way, than not at all.

I hope you enjoy this novel and the journey this will be for me and for you. Thank you.

-deep bow-
