Fox demon Tress Chen managed to escape his assassins guild two months ago. It wasn't easy, but he has unusual skills, certainly more skills than the Dragon princeling someone seems to have sent after him. No one will get in the way of his freedom.Shen Gu, Dragon of stone and ice, is not sure how he's supposed to do this but he promised to take the Fox back to Shanghai. He just never said he'd hand him over.Dragon's Pool may have made Tress, trained him, own him - but none of that matters to Shen Gu if his Fox wants to be free.
