Chapter Four: Winter Frostborne

----------------------------------------

In the outskirts of the Ancient Forest, a small village nestled among the trees, where foxes roamed freely and chatted amicably with the villagers who lived there. The kitsune village was a peaceful and harmonious place, with Ayaz Frostborne and his wife, Crystal, leading the community with kindness and wisdom.

As the first snowflakes began to fall from the sky, Crystal went into labor. The villagers gathered around their home, eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new addition to their village. As the sun set and the moon rose high in the sky, Winter was born.

Winter had two white fox ears and a tail, just like her parents. Ayaz and Crystal took her to the central square, where a large block of white quartz covered in ancient runes stood. Carefully placing Winter on the block, they stepped back as the runes began to glow softly. The glow grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the square with a soft white light. The villagers watched as the light faded.

"Beast Tamer," a robotic voice said, echoing through the square.
