Dont forget the eldest 4 all each got a part of the champs bullshit in the same form, like Kinus ability to learn so those 4 are basically a collective to make a single powerful entity.I raised her well. Unfortunately I fear the Frost Marches may be swarmed in floof if she's too similar to the champ. At this rate, the land will be ruled by a diverse council of my children who rule by sheer numbers alone.
I think the tree also doesn't want to rely on a outside(even if your married) force/Divine champion, they've gone this far together, prove to them that they can handle it. I don't think they are doing it out of malicious contempt for you, if they were they wouldn't even tell you I feel. Also almost forgot that Kinu after part 2 does say she doesn't want to see the whole, not fun loving parent side for you as long as she possibly can she doesnt want to lose the magic of the you from when she was a kit so soon.I get that, and I'm not saying I want to just solve all their problems from a story perspective. It's just that we're bystanders to our children and possible friends being attacked and being told off for wanting to help. And we're not outsiders in this case. We're Kinu's parent, Kiyoko's one and only consort, friends with some people in the tree, and possibly the person strong enough to solo the tree. It's doable but time consuming. We're not traditional outsiders and our immediate family is under attack. So not even so much as being able to train out kids makes the whole thing weird.
Dont know how to edit a reply to the dong'd fox, isnt that around the time when they decided to lock in working on Kor, chances are they COULD appear there, one tailed fox would be able to get away being there if you think about it.
Anything you can share here, per chance?
