After Snow had disappeared from 'Heavan', he found himself being surrounded by a warm, slimy substance.
'Wait. Where am I? What is this liquid and why can't I control my body. Hmm. Sola said something about reincarnation....Shit. That means that I am in my mothers womb. Just great. Now I have to stay here for a few months'he thinks to himself, but then he feels something pushing him out.
'Or not.'
He feels his body being pushed out of the body and then he feels that he is being held by somebody. He slowly opens his eyes and sees that everything is kinda blurred. He sees a figure of a person, but can't really tell more. He also hears something that sounds like talking, but it is hard to hear exactly what they are saying.
"It's a boy, Dear."the human looking woman, tells the other human woman on the bed.
"A boy. That is rare. Could you please clean him up and give it to me, mother."the woman on the bed asks her, who nods and starts cleaning the baby boy.
Once he is completely cleaned, she could see his beautiful snow white furry fox ears and his nine tails, which were moving on his lower back. She kept looking at him and then he opened his eyes again, only to stare at her with his ice blue eyes.
"My grandson is already staring at me."she tells herself as she is wrapping him into a cloth. And without a lot of effort, he gets wrapped and is then picked up, to be passed to his mother.
The mother takes him into her hands and looks at him, before her face goes serious and she says"We have to get rid of him immediately. His a cursed kitsune."
"What do you mean 'Cursed kitsune.' he can't be one. There hasn't been one for centuries"she replies back to her daughter with a slightly confused tone.
"His pupils are slitted. Didn't you see it?"she tells her mother, who then says back"Oh dear. Then we have to get rid of him, but we can't kill him or we will anger Her. And we really don't need that to happen now."
"Then dump him somewhere. Just get rid of this cursed being. We can't have him around!"she yells back and quickly gives him back to her mother, who takes him into her hands and immediately leaves the room.
As for Snow, he has no idea what is going on. He was cleaned, given to her mother and then back. And now the woman, who is holding her, has left the house and brought a newborn into a cold weather. If could have understood the two womans conversation, he could have realised his fate, but he didn't understand anything and had no idea his current fate.
As for the woman, she walks through the snowy forest, which is covered in a thick layer of snow, which makes moving here a lot harder. Alexander didn't know what else he could do and so he starts to cry, in hope to get her attention.
Even with his crying, the woman ignores it and keeps on walking. Finally, she reached the end of the treeline and told herself"That should be far enough. We shouldn't be in trouble now. I hope he at least will die quickly."
She takes a one last look at the child, who looks like he is begging her not to do that, but she doesn't care, because of her icy heart and just puts him into the snow and walks back the way she came from. Alexander tries to cry again as a last attempt, but the woman ignores it and keeps on going back to her house.
Alexander was now officially abandoned by his mother and grandmother, who left him into the cold forest.
As for the woman, she gets back home and goes to her daughters room, to tell her"I dropped the cursed kitsune into the forest. So he'll be either eaten or starve to death."
"Thanks mom."she continues with an angry look on her face and anger in her voice"Dammit. Finally got a kitsune, only to see that I gave birth to a cursed kitsune, that will only bring bad fortune to me."
"I guess so dear. I guess we now have to look for another kitsune and try again."she tells her daughter and lets out a sigh.
"I guess so too mom. Lets find another slave, after I recover fully."she tells her and lies down completely now.

"Rest well dear."she tells her daughter, before leaving the room. The mother walks to her own room and sits down on the edge of the bed, to think about.
The chances of a kitsune to be born between a kitsune and non-kitsune are extremely low. Only way to give birth to a kitsune with a 100% chance is when two kitsunes mate. But If it is between a kitsune and any other race, then the child will just be born as a fox beastkin, who is slightly stronger then the others. So her daughter was extremely lucky to get a kitsune baby, but unfortunately it was a cursed kitsune, which could have brought great calamity to them, as it has happened in the past. But they could consider them lucky, as his eyes were slitted from birth, unlike some others kitsunes, whos eyes would turn slitted years later after birth.
She sighs again and lets her upper body to fall onto the bed. She stares at the ceiling and mutters"Five years of searching to find a father finally and get my daughter pregnant. Now that he finally was born, he was cursed. What a terrible luck."
As for Alexander, he is looking at the sky and has already accepted his another death.
'Hypothermia, starvation or being eaten alive. Which will get me.'goes through his head, while looking at the sky, covered with dark clouds, that don't let the sun shine through.
What else he can do, other then to wait: his a newborn who can't move and only thing he can do is cry. But who will he cry to. His in a forest. Also he has noticed, that even though he is laid into a snow, he doesn't feel cold at all. So maybe hypothermia won't kill him first.
As he is looking at the sky, because he can't move his head and could only watch straight, he hears footsteps from a far away and it sounds humans.
He himself doesn't know how he could hear from so far, but he doesn't care currently and spa he starts to cry, to attract the person to him.
From some distance away from him, a woman is walking through the snow, with a sword on her waist and a spear in her hand. She is wearing white winter clothes and her face is covered with a scarf and a hood, so only her hazel eyes could be seen under the clothing.
As she is walking, she hears crying coming from a distance and seems to belong to a baby. So out of curiosity, she strays of her path and starts walking towards the source of the cry. As she gets closer, she notices something wrapped in a red cloth, in which the crying seems to come.
So she walks closer, until she is right next to the baby and is looking at him. She saw a pair of white fox ears on the babies head, which she found incredibly adorable and cute. She stuck the spear into the ground and gently picked up the baby. As for him, he stops his crying, when he sees her.
"Are you alone here cutey? Who dared to abandon you?"she asks the baby, even though she knows that she will not get an answer. But instead she gets a smile from the baby, which makes her a little happy.
But then she notices his slitted pupils, which surprises her"A cursed kitsune....So that's why you were abandoned by your parents. You poor child...But don't worry. Alice is going to take care of you from now on. Do you like that idea?"she asks him jokingly and he obviously wouldn't say anything, but he does smile and tries to reach his tiny hands towards her face. Seeing this makes her happy and hugs him.
"I'll take it as a yes. Sis will probably be mad...But Veronica should be happy. She likes cute things too."she says to herself and takes the spear from the ground and holds it in her left hand, while holding the baby in her right hand.
'She seems like a nice girl. I hope that she doesn't abandon me, like the woman, who did it a few hours ago and who I refuse to refer as a mother. Also I am hungry'Snow thinks, as he watches the girl, who is carrying him with his blue eyes.
"Don't worry Little one. You'll be safe with me."she comforts him, while going back to her path to home.
While she is walking, she starts humming, which somehow has a relaxing effect on Snow and makes him sleepy. Slowly it starts to be harder for him to keep his eyes open and a few minutes later, his small eyes close and he falls asleep.
As for the woman, she stops in front of the gate and says"Were home Little Fox."
In front of her, is two giant doors made out of giant blocks of thick Ice and each doors weights about a ton or so. The Ice doors are an entrance to a fortress, which walls are made out of the same thick and strong Ice as the doors. As for the city and the citadel behind the walls, they are made out of normal materials and only thing made out of the Ice inside of these walls, are the citadel walls. This place is called the Ice Fort and is the only populated place in a thousand kilometer radius. Also for the outsiders, this place is really hard to find and they usually go back or die before reaching here. Those outsiders, who do have reaches this place, have found this place by accident. Well according to them. People who live here, aren't hostile to people, who have come here with good intentions. But if someone were to come with bad intention, they will be killed before they could realize.
As to what makes this place special are not the Ice walls, but the people inside of the citadel. That place in the Ice Fort is the most important place in it. There they teach people every kind of way to kill someone and how to stay hidden. A lot of people want to get in that place, but only a few talented can join that place. That place has two groups of people there. First are the soldiers, who guard the entire Fortress. Second are the Assassins, whos job is to assassinate their targets and bring home the reward, which is used to keep this place alive. So basically most of this city's income is assassination. There are also merchants, but they don't bring in so much money.
The woman who is holding Snow, belongs to the Assassin group and was returning from a successful mission. Right now she looked down at him and now notices that he is sleeping"Ooh. Sorry."she apologizes to the sleeping Snow.
