The beautiful forests of Ionia..it was something, that would always remain a part of the nine-tailed fox's heart, as it was still her homeland, even if she had been setting out to discover more of the world.  Ahri still enjoyed her little stroll through one of the forests in her beautiful birthplace, relishing in the beautiful smell of cherry blossom trees. It was the place she once was to be found in the most, her “territory”, if one would have called it that. Indeed, this place was as beautiful as it was peaceful. Although she couldn’t deny, that striving through the world alone had become quite dull.

Though the real reason she had came back here..was because she wanted to meet the bladecaller, who was known as Xayah. Because unbeknownst to the fellow Vastaya, Ahri had always been longing for her..always having admired her beauty..and the way she was fighting to protect her home with such resolve. But she also knew well that to any other Vastayan, what Ahri once did..when desiring to become human, must have seemed like the fox was betraying her heritage..

But she hadn’t. While indeed she once desired to become human, it only had been because she wished to understand and experience the feelings, that gave human people so much joy and elation. She longed to find out about love..and true companionship. Ahri since had changed her ways, no longer stealing the life essences of unsuspecting people. She had become quite satisfied with what she had already become, able to explore those feelings humans so relished in, while staying true to her roots as a Vastaya.

And ironically..when she had sorted out her own feelings..she had realized that she had fallen for the red-haired woman. And now..Ahri was here..looking for the bladecaller, to finally confront her..and make her deepest..genuine feelings known to the other. She could only hope..that the other would forgive her.
