OC oneshots

When you first read the title you may think, " Don't you mean an arctic fox? " The answer is no. A winterfox is a human with fox ears and tail. Let's begin this story before I get ahead of myself. Our story starts in one of the six small villages. It was a special day, I think it was a naming ceremony. The village was decorated with flowers, some of the few that can survive the coldest nights, children running around and laughing. 

"Boys and girls, Men and Women! We are here to celebrate my daughter's newborn child!" the chief had said.

 Oh, that was what it was about, let's find out who it is shall we?

"Tonight we find out what the moon thinks her name shall be!" the chief had called out. among the village, everyone stops and looks at Wintertide, who is at the moment holding a newborn baby.

"Wintertide, Please bring your child to the Selenophile" the chief had told her. 

"Yes father" Wintertide was hesitant to give her child up, but it was tradition so she handed her baby over. Just before she did WinterTide took off the pendant given to her by her mother and put it around Her baby. The Selenophile took the tiny squirming child and looked to the moon and spook aloud

 "Moon, Bless this child and give her the name she is destined for!" He held the baby up high. After a few seconds, he brought her down and handed the baby back to Wintertide. 

"The moon has given her a name that is not common in this village…." he paused to take a breath

 "her name is Icicle…." 

A few gasps could be heard in the crowd.

 You might be wondering, what is so bad about this name? Well, the last time this name was used, the child had grown up sick and perished young. Yeah, so not the best name… 

"Cursed or not, my child will be healthy and grow to reach womanhood." Wintertide held Me close. Even though they were in the arctic, I was as warm as a summer fire.

 The village was not happy that they were stuck with the child named Icicle, but they still helped take care of Me. As My hair grew out it was as white as snow, and My eyes were as blue as an icicle on the snowy ground. Let's skip to when I'm eleven now, before eleven is of My everyday life. After eleven though… It's a different story.

"Icicle, time to get up," Wintertide exclaimed, "it's a blizzard outside literally."

"I'm coming, mom!" I yelled back I was putting on My tan fur coat from My grandfather. 

"Icicle, your hunting teacher and were talking and-"

"No mom."

"Honey, just hear me out. She sees your potential and wants to work on it to make it better!"

"But mom, I like hunting for just me and you, I don't like the idea of hunting for the whole village…"

"You mean having everyone depend on you?"

"Yeah…"

"They won't know that it came from you, one of the other hunters will bring in your catches."

"Fine, I'll do it, but only for you mom."

"Thank you, I'll try to tell your teacher you agreed. Anyway, your breakfast is on the table!" Wintertide exclaimed while putting away her dishes and getting ready for something.

"Mom, who is coming?" I asked with concern rising in her voice "you never get dressed for anything with grandpa.."

"Oh, you caught me. The Selenophile is coming to make sure you were not cursed and I wasn't lying." Wintertide looked down then over at Me, 

"you have a question for him, don't you?"

"Yeah, I've always wondered, what is a Selenophile and what do they do when there is no newborn child to name?" I asked as I finished My food and went to change into something fancier.

"I think I see him, hurry up Icicle!" Wintertide exclaimed in worry.

 If you're wondering why they are dressing fancy it's because the Selenophile is just one position away from being the most powerful winterfox, and is above all the most respected being in the village.

"Icicle hurry up!" Wintertide looks at the My door to see Me in a much fancier version of her original outfit. Minus the tan fur coat

"How do I look, mom?" I asked, Just before Wintertide could answer there was a knock at the door, Wintertide opened the door.

"Good day Wintertide, isn't it?" The Selenophile stated. Just then an arrow is shot at the Selenophile, missing him by a few inches 

"get inside!" He yelled, he shoved Wintertide inside and ran in after she shut the door. 

"Mom! What is going on?" I ran over to them.

"I thought we would have more time!" The Selenophile whispered then looked at WinterTide 

"you need to hide her or run with her now!" 

WinterTide looked at me and whispered "You need to run, run as far as you can and don't look back" 

"B-But mom! I can't leave you!"

"You have to save yourself, I'll find you someday!" Winter tide hugged me. 

I ran to the window and jumped out. It was not a long fall since I lived in a one-story home and the snow cushioned my fall. 

"Get That WinterFox, This is our village and she will come to take it back!" an elder, maybe the FallFoxes chief,

Since that was who was attacking the WinterFoxes Village, I had grabbed a few tools from behind our house which included a bow for hunting and an axe for wood, and a hunting knife for something. Luckily I had my mother's pendant That she gifted to me just before My naming ceremony. When I stopped running I found myself on the side of a mountain.

When looking around I spotted a bit of gray among all the white, it was a Baby arctic fox, alone.

Let's skip a few years, So to set the new scene, imagine the arctic from a high mountain, a house that was built recently and has a chimney with smoke coming from it. Down farther below the mountain there was a green house of plants and other foods. Ok, let's continue.

"How are you today Roxi?" I asked the tiny fox. Roxi obviously didn't say anything but instead bounced from one foot to another in a happy way. 

"Then Let's go outside today!" I told Roxi. Roxi followed me outside and ran off to do something while I chopped some wood. After a while Roxi came back and dropped what she had found next to me, I stopped chopping wood to pick it up. It was a piece of paper, somehow addressed to me. On the paper, it reads.

Dear Icicle,

I Dearly hope this letter finds you well.

I will tell you that you might find two people.

They will come at some point, I do not know when.

But soon hopefully. They will bring you back.

From the winter Selenophile.

After reading it, 

"Roxi!" I yelled in a hurry "Roxi, let's go inside!" when I looked at Roxi she had just stopped rolling in the snow and was looking at me. 

"Roxi come on!" she had jumped up and run inside then I went inside. Roxi had laid on my carpet in front of my fireplace and I sat on my bed close enough to pet Roxi. just after four minutes had passed, a knock could be heard at the door. I got up and the person at the door knocked again 

"Ok, Ok I'm coming!" I yelled to the door. When I got to the door the person knocked again, I got annoyed and swung open the door getting hit in the face by a fist.

 "WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!" I yelled as I put my hand on my face where they hit me. 

"I am so sorry!" The person squealed

"Who even are you?!"

"Oh, I'm laya!"

"Well laya, I don't like people, so leave."

"Well," Laya exclaimed, "guess it's a good thing I'm a fairy, er well, a sorry excuse for one…."

"What does-" I looked at her wings that just unfolded, one end of her left top wing was clipped just enough to where it is not noticeable but big enough to not be able to fly.

"What happened? Wait before you answer that come on in" I led her in and shut the door. "Please tell me, Who are you, and why are you up in the artic?" I asked Laya, not fully trusting her. 

"Well, you see I can't fly but I can glide, so I glided here, Looking for a few plants.

I have found a few of them, but I can't find the last one I need and I heard about a winterfox who lives in the artic in the mountains who " She looked at my tail and ears. 

"What, you think I'm the winterfox you are looking for?" I asked her sarcastically

"I mean you are a white fox, living alone and you have a pet arctic fox, you don't live with your parents and you seasonal foxes live in tribe unless you are an outcast and you have no scar saying that you are one," Laya said with full confidence. 

"Fine, yes I'm the winterfox you are looking for. I'll help you if you help me with something"

"Ok, what do you need help with?"

"I need help getting my village back from FallFoxes that have taken my home"

"Ok will do," Laya answered, getting up "I guess we're leaving now?"

"W-well, I need to get you in warmer clothes like a very heavy coat…." I whispered mostly to myself as I got up to get my few extra coats. "We're gonna need these… Roxi? Can you tell me how long we have until the blizzard comes in?" I asked Roxi. Roxi then Jumped twice in long hops. 

"Two hours huh? Thats not too long from now…" I whispered, "Well I guess we better get moving then." I threw a heavy fur coat at laya "put that on and you should be fine for a while." after gathering some materials and clothes and other stuff, we set out, I left Roxi behind and we started on our journey to the FallFoxes villages.

"Hmm, I wonder where she is right now?" Laya had whispered to herself not remembering That I was traveling with Her and could have easily told her that someone was approaching very fast and was about to crash into her.

"LAYA HOW DARE YOU!!!!!!!" the running person screamed "Why did you leave me!!!!" the person started shaking her

"Stop shaking me, Lightning!" Laya fell from Lightning's grip, landing on my tail. 

"AGH!" I yelled pulling my tail out from under her. "Are we going or not?!" I stomped off without them, out in the distance i see my old village. But its strange instead of orange and mixtures, i see white, i then realized that my villge has been restored with the winterfoxes. I'm home after all these years and all this anger i smile. I see my mom waving at me and i run over and hug her. I'm crying so is she. 

" i'm so glad your alright Icicle, me and your grandfather were so worried" Wintertide whispered.

"I'm glad to be back. I guess i'm really not doomed after all?" i tell her earning a laugh from her.

"I guess not. Hey i want you to meet your new baby brother."

"I have a brother?" i ask her as she leads me into the house
