Fox of the East - Chapter 1: Ian
I've read around and not found a single fanfiction with this premise, so I'm going to share this premise. This is for all of
the people sick of Greek mythology over clouding the mythology spectrum. (May have influence from many different
series, but is mainly PJO. Starts between SoM and TC.)
I only own my ideas, characters, and plot. So far that includes 'the mythic reality', Lyon, Ian, Amy, Suguha, Yuki,
Skylar, and Fang.

Why don't I tell you the truth. The whole truth. The truth that would kill me if I told any mortal in this world about it. THAT
truth. First off, if you aren't from this world, I'm not a confirmed god by your standards, but you may call me Lyon. This
world is host to every mythological figure, form of magic, and supernatural entity ever imagined by your world.
This world has been aptly named 'The Mythic Reality.' This story only follows the lives of a select group of kids, but
they are special in their own way. Welcome 'bows' to my chaos.

Ian Tanners was walking in the woods just outside his small Idaho home. He could have been described as a Shota
with his soft eight year old features. His eyes were large. but slightly curved and very curious by nature. His hair was
unkempt, medium length, and a bright orange, his mouth was small, and his skin was light.
He was wearing simple black shorts, sandals, and a yellow with a drawing of a chibi fox eating rice. (Hint,hint) On his
head was a black knit beanie with two sections cut out at the top. His shorts also had a small hole in their base.
Overall he looked like an average messy shota for a female otaku to squeal over. But the Kawaii factor multiplied by
100 when you noticed the large fox ears and tail coming out of their respective tails. They were mainly orange with the
large white tips you would expect of a fox.
He only had Amy and Suguha to depend on, but they are for later. Ian was walking around the woods outside his home
near Sandpoint, Idaho. He enjoyed the quiet he could get from around the area, minus the occasional car. He loved
where he grew up. All the inhabitants lived peacefully under the trees which seemed to touch the sky. (Ian was only
eight years old.) He loved all the inhabitants. Foxes, coyotes, bears, raccoons, the archer.
Ian pulled back and did a double take at the sight of the woman before him. She looked a couple years older than him
(maybe 14) and was wearing an archery attire. In her hands was a silver bow and her hair was short and brunette. The
small boy walked a step closer and accidentally broke a twig. The archer immediately tensed and pointed her bow
straight at him.
Ian literally yipped and hit the deck. His entire body shook and his fox ears fell in fright, but his tail awkwardly waved in
the air of its own accord. "Please, don't kill me!" He pleaded before falling into a slight whimper. Above him, a single
silver arrow was pointed at him. "I know I'm different, but I'm not dangerous. Please just -puhh-"
The archer looked on in astonishment as Ian was tackled by a feminine ball of red hair. A second arrow joined the first
as the archer looked at the sight before her.
Ian was pinned under a girl with back length, flaming red hair, and a small build. She was the same age as Ian and had
peach colored skin. She wore a blue zip up hoodie over a white tanktop, a blue and purple skirt over a simple pair of
white shorts, and puppy ears and a puppy tail poked out from her head and from under her skirt. Her eyes
seemed to glow a fluorescent yellow. [Match, this design is for you, you lolicon otaku.]
This was Amie Summers.
"Come on Ian-kun. Play with me." she begged. Her innocent eyes glowed with energy (Hyper energy).
The archer gave a wierd look. 'There are more?' She thought. Amie looked over to her curiously, but happy. "Hi there!
You wanna play too?"
"Amie-chan? I don't think they want to play." Ian told the puppy girl while trying to pull on her hoodie. Four more
archers simultaneously dropped from the sky, all female and in their early to mid teens. Ian yipped loudly and ran for
home with Amie being dragged forcefully behind him. 'I'm not wild game!' he yelled mentally.

The four hunters looked at their sister with a confused gaze. A taller one with long dark hair spoke first. "Where 'as thou
been?"
"I'm sorry Zoey, I just found something peculiar."
"Has thee fallen from thine creed?" 'Zoey' accused. The brunette hunter put her fist over her heart.
"Never! The peculiarity came from those two." She said, pointing to the fox running away, holding a puppy by the
scruff. "They give off an aura of power that is foreign to me."
Zoey thought this over. "Pheobe, watch them. Have Gracia and Serena accompany thee."
"That won't be necessary girls." Came a new voice. The hunters looked over to see a being dressed in white with long
orange hair and wearing a white fox mask with orange accents. The figure could have been male as easily as it could
have been female. Around its neck was a fox of pure white. The hunters raised their bows reflexively.
The being wagged a finger at them while the fox smiled in its sleep. "Now don't you girls know better than to raise
weapons at your superiors? You are overstepping your boundaries Greeks. You shall not touch my kits."
"What art thou?" Again the figure wagged its finger. The smirk behind the mask was almost touchable. "That would be
telling." A bright flash of light and the figure was gone, leaving only the smell of steamed rice in the air. The hunters
rose into the air once more and regrouped with a small child that looked to be about twelve, but carried a dangerous
amount of power.
The girl, though no matter how powerful, was still as a plate and pale as paper. "Art thou alright malady? Thou looks as
if thee as seen a ghost."

After running a sufficient distance, Ian finally stopped to catch his breath, and Amie just cheered happily. "Yay, Ian-kun,
that was fun! What should we play next?" Ian deadpanned. "Amie, maybe we should find something to play at the
house." He silently prayed this would work.
A loud, "HAI!" escaped the mouth of the read head before she dragged Ian back home. As they got closer to the
house, their animal parts seemed to fade and the holes in their clothing seemed to close.
At the door, a young woman dressed in a blue kimono greeted the duo. She had natural lavender hair, a slim figure,
and calm pale eyes that matched her kimono.
"Konichiwa Yuki-san/-chan!" Greeted Ian and Amie respectively. "Konichiwa, Skylar-san is upstairs if you want to play
with him."
"Hai!" Amie yelled energetically before dashing up the stairs in a ray of red. Ian stayed behind.
"Umm... Yuki-san?"
"Yes Ian-kun?"
"Amie, Skylar, and I? What are we? Please tell me the truth."
