Episode Two

"Mm... so warm..." I snuggled my face further into what ever this warm blanket was. So much nicer than that dumb forest fire! Wait... wasn't I in the forest fire? Did I die from the forest fire so I got reborn again? I'm afraid to open my eyes...

Three years later... A lot has happened, I wasn't reborn, I was saved by a giant celestial wolf named Selena. She's huge, white furred and has golden eyes that shimmer like gold.

"My child, don't be like those foolish humans. You have beautiful tan skin and white hair, white eyes and a seal on your forehead. You shall not have more then one lover in the future, take responsibility for all your actions, and always help others." Selena said as she sat in front of me, hovering above. She decided she would teach me everything I needed to know for this world, but I won't ever leave this den so it doesn't matter but I still listen and follow everything she teaches.

"My child, tomorrow I shall remove your seal. Many benefits shall fall upon you. You shall speak human language instead of Celestial. You shall become more beautiful and stronger. You will attract unwanted attention and get threatened with your loved ones, but you will thrive in this world and break new boundaries." Selena said with a little pain in her voice.

"But Selena's gonna stay with Somi in the den, Somi doesn't need to have the seal broken, Somi wants to stay with Selena forever!" Tears gently slid down my cheeks as I stared with pain in my eyes up at Selena.

Selena named me Somi, a name I shall keep with me forever. Even if it is a very feminine name.

"Enough child, time to sleep." Selena laid down where she was, grabbing me with her tail wrapped around my stomach and pulled me into her fur. I laid awake that night, thinking about what she meant today. These terrible thoughts of us being separated scared me sleepless.

I finally fell asleep and woke up soon after. Selena wasn't by my side... neither was my seal. I stood up, scared, not knowing what to do or what happened.

Two weeks have already passed, I found a note left by Selena today. It read, "Today as promised, I broke your seal. But I have replaced it with my own. A lot is shadowed in secrecy. My name is Selena, the last and first kitsune. I was born when the world started, my world is full of war and hiding, running from power crazed humans and celestial beasts. I give you my Celestial beast seal. If you focus hard, you shall summon your nine tails. I am residing in your soul, so I shall always be with you. I packed you a bag with all you will need. No matter how cruel this world may seem, there's a balance of evil and good. Good luck my child."

So that day, I grabbed my bag Selena prepared, and left the safe den, putting an illusion seal and a pin point on it's location. Time to make my guild.
