"The fox with the eight tails"
chapter 1: Prologue
This happened a few years ago. Deep in the woods there was a family of foxes. But not the ordinary foxes you can usually spot in forests, but a family of magical nine-tailed foxes. It consisted of two adults and their young kits. The youngest of the kits was destined to become something great, but before that, she had to go through all types of nightmares.
On one particular day a group of men were walking through the forest, in search of rare or interesting animals. These men were not your average hunters- they had special weapons, made specifically for hunting magical animals. Today's goal was a nine-tailed fox. They soon came across a whole family of those. Today was a lucky day for the hunters, though the same definately cannot be said about the foxes.
Mama and Papa Fox heard a strange noise coming from behind the trees. Their kits did not hear anything and were just wandering what has gotten into their parents. In a blink of an eye, one of the hunters started to shoot at the creatures, scaring the babies as a result. The parents reacted immediately and tried to do their best to save their children- the father attempted to fight and the mother ran away together with the little foxes. They ran and ran, as fast as they could, but unfortunately it was not enough. Another hunter jumped right in front of them and he shot one of the four babies and making the mother furious as a result. Two other hunters appeared and reached to grab the rest of the kits. Unluckily for them Mama Fox bit their arms, leaving them bleeding. She barked to the kits, signaling them to find a place to hide. They never hesitated and ran, leaving their mother to fight on her own. The youngest fox was the most scared and just as heartbroken as the others. While the little foxes were running, they could heard the sounds of guns and fire in the distance- the parents were both still fighting the hunters, but with little success- the hunters' guns were being empowered with magic, that was absorbing the foxes' own powers, leaving them without much strength to fight. The kits finally managed to find a place to hide, but it was already too late, since one of the hunters found them. He fired with his guns mutliple times, aiming at the baby foxes and sadly he successfully killed almost all of them, with the only exception being the youngest. She was forced to see with her own eyes how all of her siblings were mercilessly murdered. The hunter fired again and he actually managed to hit the youngest, but the bullet failed to kill her, instead it just tore apart one of her tails, leaving her with eight only.
Now that was the final drop. Now the the young fox was really furious. She opened her mouth and started to growl at the hunter. Of course, he did not feel threatenned and prepared himself to shoot again, but this target was not that easy to shoot. The fox jumped and landed right in front of the man's face. She opened her mouth and flames came from it. She burned the man's entire face, but she did not want to finish here. Using claws and teeth, she tore his whole body apart, leaving him in the condition of a living corpse. The rest of the hunters heard the cries of agony and arrived to see a true horror. They could not believe what they were seeing. Right next to the remains of the man's body was the little kit standing and glaring him angrily. The other hunters immediately realised what most likely happened and filled with anger started to shoot at the fox, but this time they did not even scratch her. She did the same to them- the burned their eyes, moving as fast as possible and in the end all of the hunters were killed. Disgusted by the sight of these corpses in front of her eyes, the youngest fox burned them, leaving them as nothing but a pile of ashes.
From this day on, she was living the life of a "lone wolf" with a heart filled with hatred towards humans.
