Sakura had just finished introducing me to her mother, when the enormous fox spirit finally stirred awake.
Kuzunoha was her name. As her vivid and impossibly deep emerald eyes fluttered open, her long pink lashes swept upward like smooth curtains parting on a stage.
She blinked a couple of times, before slowly leaning forward, her motion sending a gentle ripple through the blue magical mist that clung to her like conscious smoke.
Her nine tails frequently lifted and dropped slothfully, with each one genuinely thicker than my entire body. Their fur was shimmering with this inner light that somewhat made the chamber feel even smaller.
And when I took a closer look, she was absolutely breathtaking… but like, in the most terrifying way.
Her canines peeked past her corpulent lips when she smiled; they were pretty long, being like ivory, and probably sharp enough to shave through steel.
