This segment is currently an exclusive on my Patreon while I decide on if it is best to include this in book two or book three of Selkies' Skins, or if it is better to place it in Dragon Shaman book 3, or if it is something likely to be cut out from the manuscript of Selkies' Skins 2 and thus should be set aside in the collection of extras and short stories. It is pertinent, and it takes place at the time Justin carries Kirsty through the doors. This kami and youkai do have import on what will happen as a result of the working that is undertaken in the room Mara has Kirsty taken to. If I decide to officially place it in the book this placeholder page will contain the text of this.

She had stopped counting long ago, although every time she needed to she did her best to hide it from the kitsune that accompanied her through the centuries. At least the enchanted fire in the pit still crackled to augment what heat came to the Chamber of the Tree from the hotsprings in another branch of the system she had grown and dug.
