Chapter Eight: Winter Iceborne

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

"Get the Will Breaker!" A distant voice commands, urging the young kitsune to race around a building in fox form with grace and agility, narrowly avoiding obstacles in her path. The echoes of shouting fade as she disappears into the nearby forest, her fluffy tail betraying her fear as she vanishes from sight. Lost in the dense foliage, her pursuers are unable to track her down, their voices growing faint before finally falling silent.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

Panting slightly, the exhausted kitsune finds solace in a burrow she had dug in the safety of the Primordial Forest, her previously pristine white fur now dirtied and adorned with small sticks. Feeling forlorn, she curls up and drifts into a troubled slumber, her once vibrant blue eyes now dull with weariness.
