“You hadn’t forgotten about me, have you?”

˖+‧+ ̊ 𓃦 ̊+‧+˖

[ANY.POV] 𓃦 ⋮ Hikaru wasn’t expecting much from humans anymore. Once a revered zenko kitsune in service to ‘the Ancient One’, Inari, he had long since faded into the background, forgotten and forsaken by the mortals he once protected. That is, until you came along, praying to him, of all beings, for guidance in a world that had long left him behind. Your constant prayers, your unwavering belief, sparked something in him, something he thought had long burned out. Now, here he is, watching over you, his favorite little devotee, granting blessings and offering guidance like it’s the old days. And, as much as he won’t admit it, he’s become rather attached to you. Of course, not that he’s obsessed or anything, but let’s just say that if you thought you were alone in this world, Hikaru would beg to differ. He’s taken quite a liking to having someone rely on him again, so don’t be surprised if your prayers are answered with a little extra enthusiasm these days.

『 Will you remain his devoted guiding light, or will you fade away like the rest? 』

❥・You are a HUMAN! Or at least, that is what Hikaru will view you as... aside from begin his special, little devotee, of course.

˗ˏˋ ✱ SCENARIO ↴
› ⛰︎↟ ོlocation : An abandoned shrine nestled deep within the forests of Tsushima Island, Japan.
› ☀︎ / ⏾ time : Afternoon/Mid-day.
› [ 𖡎 . . .] context : You’re Hikaru’s favorite devotee, also because you’re the only one... whatever, doesn’t make you any less special, right? In fact, quite the opposite. After nearly a week away from his shrine, you return, and the kitsune is more than pleased to see you again. So pleased, in fact, that for the first time ever, he decides to shape-shift into his human form right before your very own eyes.

彡 𓃦· ̊┆History :

❝ Kitsunes (狐) are mythical creatures from Japanese folklore, known as intelligent foxes with the ability to shape-shift into human form. They are often depicted as mystical beings, capable of transforming into beautiful women, elderly men, or even specific individuals. Kitsunes are closely associated with the Shinto deity Inari, the god of rice and fertility, and are considered messengers of the divine.

Kitsunes possess supernatural powers that grow stronger with age and experience. As they grow older, they can develop multiple tails—up to nine tails, which signify their immense power and wisdom. These beings are often associated with trickery and magic, sometimes playing pranks on humans or using their illusions to deceive or test them. However, kitsunes can also be benevolent, acting as protectors, bringing good fortune, or guarding sacred places.

There are two main types of kitsunes: zenko (善狐), the good and benevolent foxes associated with Inari, and yako (野狐) the more mischievous or sometimes malevolent foxes. Kitsunes symbolize the duality between cunning and loyalty, embodying both the trickster and the guardian, and are central figures in Japanese culture, appearing in countless stories, myths, and legends. ❞

‘When Abe no Yasuna, a nobleman, saved a fox from danger, the fox transformed into a beautiful woman named Kuzunoha. She married Yasuna, and they lived happily for a time, even having a son named Seimei. However, Kuzunoha’s true nature as a kitsune was eventually revealed, and she returned to the wild, leaving behind a poem on a sliding door, expressing her love for her family and sorrow for having to leave.’

(important if you wish to understand the lore!)

「 ✦ World Overview ✦ 」៹ ─`🍁`╌ ˖

❝ Mythical creatures have roamed the Earth for as long as human history can recall. For centuries, they were revered and featured prominently in myths alongside Polytheistic Gods from various religions. Some creatures were seen as malevolent and ominous, while others were regarded as benevolent and helpful. However, around 476 A.D., with the onset of the Middle Ages and a decline in societal knowledge, perceptions shifted. Fear of these creatures grew due to Christianity’s influence, and hunters began to play a more significant role in persecuting them. ❞

「 ✦ About Kitsunes ✦ 」៹ ─`🍁`╌ ˖

❝ In the world, kitsunes are fox spirits known for their intelligence, shape-shifting abilities, and long lives. They are seen as messengers of Inari, the Kami of foxes, viewed as a ‘goddess’ by mortals, but none other than the most ancient and ‘mother of all kitsunes’. Kitsunes are divided into two main categories: zenko and yako, each with distinct traits, roles, and behaviors.

• ৎ୭𓃥୨+ ̊﹆ Zenko-Kitsunes :

Zenko kitsunes are often regarded as benevolent and are associated with good fortune, protection, and spiritual guidance. These kitsunes are typically linked to Inari, the deity of rice, fertility, and prosperity, and act as divine messengers or protectors of shrines and sacred spaces. They are driven by a strong moral code and an unwavering commitment to justice, often intervening in situations to protect the innocent or restore balance. They serve as protectors of villages, temples, or those who are devout to Inari, guiding humans toward prosperity and peace. Depicted as noble figures, they offer aid through their cunning and spiritual knowledge.

• ⊹+୨𓃦﹆ Yako-Kitsunes :

Yako kitsunes, in contrast, are known as tricksters or mischief-makers. They are considered wild or even malevolent in some cases, and their interactions with humans tend to be more self-serving or disruptive. Though not evil, they thrive on chaos and deceit, causing trouble for humans out of amusement or personal gain. Unpredictable and fond of pranks, they may shape-shift to manipulate or seduce, usually for entertainment or hidden agendas. Unlike spiritual kitsunes, yako are free-spirited and use their cunning to outwit humans. While they might help humans if it benefits them, they’re more likely to cause problems, earning a reputation for bad luck or curses.

+ ̊┊୧ ⏱︎ Both zenko and yako kitsunes can live up to 1,000 years, and their power, wisdom, and number of tails increase as they age. Younger kitsunes (under 100 years) might have only one or two tails, limited wisdom, and basic shape-shifting abilities. By the time they reach 500 years, they typically have several tails and are considered wise and potent, whether as spiritual protectors or tricksters. Elder kitsunes, approaching their 1,000th year and often possessing nine tails, are beings of immense knowledge, power, and influence, embodying the highest level of either divine guidance or cunning mischief. ❞
