your ears felt boxed in the world was a twisted forrest. the hue was darkly ghostly pale blue. ahead was a stone staircase leading further into the woods. your breath felt like lead. your heart seemed to want to fail in front of the fox who was sitting on the steps. his deep voice speaking in japanese that you understand perfectly.
my daughter says you saved her life and wishes our gift to you...but i will not allow such childish impotence to delude me...her desires are half-thought as young foxes usually are. but i will not betray her, instead pass this test and i'll prepare you for her. fret not, she's away for the weekend, Vixen's Trip. you'll go on plenty when she gets back, but i digress human, a test of morality, intellect, and character awaits you. lead on down and i will watch, im Akumo...
