Groups POV :
"Wh-What the heck?!" Paimon yells, "Augh.." Lumine groans as she rubs her head, "Lumine, you okay?" Aether asks, "Yep, perfect fine." Lumine replies, "Woah.." Paimon says mesmerized, "What a beautiful forest!" Paimon exclaims, "Is this still.. Teyvat?" Aether asks, "Uhh no.. I don't think so." Tighnari replies uncertain while looking around, "But the flowers are very pretty." Tighnari adds to his sentence, "I agree! But, how did we get here?" Paimon asks, "I think it might be my fault.." Aether claims, "How so?" Xiao asks, "Well, I touched some plant type thing at the lake, it doesn't look like it was from Teyvat, so I wanted to examine it closer." Aether explains, Xiao says nothing but sighs, "So.. How do we get back to Teyvat?" Paimon asks, Lumine shrugs, "For me and Aether this is pretty normal. We travel to different universes, so I guess we can find out?" Lumine asks, "Right.. Well, let's walk, maybe we can find someone and ask some directions." Aether suggests, "Good idea! Let's goo!" Paimon says excitedly,
Your POV :
Your ears perked up to the sound of distinct voices and leaves rustling, you turn to the direction where the sound is. You quickly turn into your kitsune form and rush to where the sound is coming from, of course. As the responsibility of the leader, and the leader of the forest, you need to protect it. You saw two blonde haired people, with someone with ash white hair, however they were.. Floating? You sensed that someone was fully alerted of your presence. You prepared to change to your half human half kitsune form, possibly using your mask. "Let's goo!" You heard a high pitched voice said, they walked in the forest, but you decided to observe them for now.

"Uhh.. So far we just saw some foxes." Paimon says, "Do you think we'll find someone?" Paimon asks, "Don't give up yet, Paimon! I'm sure we'll find someone." Aether says trying to in courage her, Tighnari's ears flicked, "Something wrong, Tighnari?" Cyno asks, "If someone is there, please come out." Tighnari says glaring at his surroundings, he heard someone sigh, "You caught me." You say standing up, "Is there something you need?" You say crossing your arms glaring at the group, "Uh.. Uh! Well.. We just w-want to know how do we get out of here and.. Stuff." Paimon says nervously, "I suggest you don't go to that direction, unless your asking for death." You say walking in front of the group, "You know this forest well, don't you?" A stern voice said, "I do. I grew up here." You reply looking at them, "Uhm.. Why can't we continue going straight..?" Paimon asks nervously, "Do you want to have a life long battle?" You ask, Paimon shakes her head, you sigh, "Follow me." You say, "How do we know we can trust you?" Xiao asks, "Because I own this land." You say, "I wouldn't do anything to it, I wouldn't even hurt the people who step foot in this area." You say, "Wait wait, so you're basically a god?!" Paimon asks shocked, "A.. God? No no, don't misunderstand. I'm just a leader, I can be replaced." You explain, "Can.. Can you explain?" Paimon asks, "Can I first lead you guys to a safer place? There's a chance one of the kitsunes attack." You say, "Kitsunes?" Lumine asks, "I'll save the explaining for later. Follow me." You say as you walk to your camp.

Once you've all arrived, you went towards the fire, "Take a seat. Care for some tea?" You ask, "Oo me please!" Lumine says, "I'll take you up on that offers." Aether says, you nod, "Alright, before I explain, please introduce yourselves and tell me how you all got here. You all don't look like kitsunes.." You say, "Uh well, Paimon is Paimon!" She introduces herself, "I'm Lumine, this is my twin brother, Aether." She introduces herself and her brother, you nod as you give the twins their cup of teas. "Tighnari." He says, "My name is Cyno.", he introduces himself as well, "I don't care, call me anything you'd like." Wanderer says, "Don't tell me that. I need a specific name." You said, "I said I don't care. But if it's necessary, call me Wanderer." Wanderer says, "Adeptus Xiao, or call me Xiao." He says, "Great, nice to meet you all. I'm [name], an Umi Kitsune." You say sitting down, "Alright, any questions?" You ask, "Yes, me. Where are we?!" Paimon asks, "You're in the enchanted forest."You say, "Enchanted.. Forest?" Paimon asks confusingly, "Yes, an enchanted forest. I don't know why the creator named it that way, but they did. And it's something it should be heavily respected." You say, "Oh okay.. But if there's a creator how do you own this land?" Paimon asks, "The creator of this land died, and from what I heard, the last Umi Kitsune will have the responsibility of controlling this land. Well, the last Umi Kitsune from the Umi clan, as known as the Umi's who fight in battle. I got the responsibility of controlling this land, I tried it for myself and.. The foxes did listen to whatever I said, I tried it on a kitsune and it worked. It's like I'm their leader, though I didn't want it. It was just given to me by force." You say, "Oh [name].." Paimon says sorrowfully, "It's okay. Don't worry." You say trying to reassure Paimon, "How old are you?" Xiao asks, "That's a strange question. But I'm 2,000 years old." You say, "You're so young..?" Xiao says, "How do you already have this much responsibilities?" Xiao asks, "It's inevitable, honestly. I never asked for this but I was born in the Umi family, and I was a relative of the Umi leader." You explain, Xiao sighs and looks at you in pity, then suddenly, you feel to little arms wrap around you, you looked to the side with your eyes to see Paimon hugging you, "Wahh! [Name]! We'll help you in anyway possible, and for how long we can!" Paimon says, you slightly smile, "Thank you, Paimon." You say happy, you heard Paimon sniff and let go of you. "You know, Paimon.. I'm just a stranger and you already trust me, enough to help me?" You say, Paimon nods, "Thank you, I'm glad.." You say quietly, "I hope you don't mind me asking, but, can we know what happened to your backstory?" Tighnari asks, you take a deep breath, "To summarize it up, my parents died in war when I died, then my brother died in war as well, then, when my brother died, my cousin invited me in a meeting or some sort, and I met other leaders of other kitsune clans. Then, she offered me to become a leader, of course, I accepted, because I could only trust myself. Then.. They had a plan, because there's a killer roaming around this place, then I don't remember the others.. I remember blacking out and waking up to.. My cousins dead body, and the other kitsune leaders bodies. I don't know what happened, but, I think I'm heavily associated with it." You confess, "You're.. Heavily associated with it? How so?" Xiao asks, "When I woke up, I saw some scrolls, I read them and.. Well, here." You say as you summon the scrolls for the group to read, "This was my cousins scroll. The most important one." You say, the scroll says :
"This scroll acts like my final words to you, [name]. I know you don't want to know this, but, your power is extremely dangerous, it's something you unfortunately cannot control, even any amount of training, you can never master it. However, you can at least try, you can may find a way to control that power, because you have mastered multiple powers even I cannot. I believe in you, [name]. In any no way do I blame you for us dying, it is your power that did it. It was controlling your body, but it's not you. I love you so much, [name]. Thank you for accepting my offer of being the leader."
That is the end of the scroll. "Done reading?" You ask, Lumine and Aether nods, "So you.. Killed them.." Paimon says sorrowfully, "I think so. But I have no memory." You say, "Take the time to sink in the information. I'll go hunting for some food for the night." You say walking off.
Groups POV :
The group was silent, the only sound is water running, occasional rustling, and birds chirping. The water running came from Aether washing the cups you gave to the twins for some tea, "S-so! [Name's] really nice huh.." Paimon says awkwardly trying to brighten things up, "Sure.. Yeah." Tighnari says uncertain, "C'mon guys, [name] is really kind!" Lumine says, "Sure, but we don't know. [Name] has a power that can kill all of us." Xiao says, "Yeah, but it's not her. She says she has no memory of it!" Lumine says trying to make Xiao believe her, Xiao sighs, "Plus, she'll tell us in advanced. She said so herself." Lumine adds, "That is true. Xiao, give it a break. So far [name] has given us shelter, and a place to sleep in. Look, she even went out to get food for us." Aether says as he wipes his hands on a towel, "You don't have to lower your guard, I'm just saying be a little more chill with [name]." Aether adds to his sentence as he pats Xiao's shoulder, "Yeah! Let's trust her for now." Paimon says, "..Fine." Xiao says in defeat.
Your POV :
As you're running around trying to find some luck for meat, you stumble upon a kitsune, though, not a normal kitsune, an Umi Kitsune, you transform to your human-kitsune form, and the other kitsune gets alerted and runs away, you sigh "I guess there's still hope for us Umi's." You mumble, you heard a rustle, and there you saw another kitsune, but rather, a kitsune that kills other kitsunes, however, fortunately for you, Umi's are their great fears. And though they can change into a human form, you can do it. You charge at the kitsune, scythe at your hand preparing to stab. Then, the kitsune blocked your scythe causing you to charge back, yes, it was expected as you were in plain sight. So you ran towards it, slashing your blade left to right, as well as up and down. For you, it was easy to read it's attacking powers, so you killed it in an instant. You knelt down to cut it's body to pieces, yes, this may seem as cannibalism, but how are you supposed to eat? The birds aren't reachable, and the other animals you're supposed to be hunting is in the enemies territory, even other kitsunes kill each other in the same clan to survive.

"[Name]! You're back!" Paimon calls, "W-woah! You have blood all over you!" Paimon says, "Hm? Oh don't worry. It's not mine. I'll be right back, I'll cook the meat." You say, "How do you say the so casually.." Paimon says, "I wanna help!" Lumine says as she follows you, you only nod and look behind you, "[Name] can be pretty cold though." Paimon says, "Yeah, I guess that's normal for this world." Aether says as he sits down, "But you can't lie, [name] is really beautiful." Aether says, Tighnari chuckles, "I heavily agree with that." Tighnari agrees, "Yes! I want to pet her ears.. And when she led us to the camp her tail was swaying.. I wanted to hug it!" Paimon squeals, "If you wanted to pet it so badly why didn't you?" You say behind Paimon, "Wahhh! How did you get here?!" Paimon says frightened, "Simply because I'm done? Lumine says she'll handle everything." You explain, "If you want to touch my ears or tail you're free to do so." You say, "Really?!" Paimon says as her eyes light up, "Go ahead." You say as you tilt your head to her. Paimon didn't hesitate and rub your ears. "Look at this!" Lumine says behind you, "Ah, you're finished." you say looking behind you, "The meat looks good." You say, "Need a hand?" You ask, Lumine shakes her head and smiles, "Eat up everyone!" Lumine says as she raises the plate with meat, Lumine places down the plate and Aether places the plates and utensils, they all sat down and Lumine gave everyone each portion, "Not gonna eat [name]?" Lumine asks, you shake your head, "I'm not hungry.." You say quietly, "I'm just gonna go to the cliff side. You can just call my name and I'll be there." You say facing away, "How can you hear it?" Paimon asks, you point at your ears, Paimon made an "Ohh" Sound and nods.
Your POV :
The feeling your feeling is very familiar, scarily familiar. You couldn't explain it, happiness? Sadness? Frightened? No words can explain. You didn't want to feel it, though. You're scared, you're scared you'd get attached. But, you were slowly getting attached, you didn't want them to leave, but you know to yourself that they're leaving. That other part of you just didn't want to believe it. You look down and sigh, "I guess this feeling is inevitable." You mumble to yourself while your eyes were closed, you opened your eyes to see a fox, you smile, "Hey little one." You say scratching its ears. You look up, "I guess it's just best of luck to me." You say looking back to come back in the forest, while walking, you hear a scream. Your eyes widen to the familiarity, "Lumine?"
