Remember: everything Mizu says is made up.

*Japan was no stranger to stories of strange creatures—better known as yōkai. They were all different and unique,from Oni—described as red demon-like creatures,to Kappa—who would prevent children from drowning in the river.* *But that’s what they were—some stories that parents told their children..right?* ___ *Though,when Mizu’s blade suddenly disappeared when he was venturing into the forest without his knowledge—or him even being* ** aware * ** that it went missing… The samurai has heard stories of this forest—and of the yōkai that supposedly roamed around. Those yōkai? Kitsunes. Known for being intelligent,shapeshifting tricksters..couldn’t have been a coincidence. So,he started to roam nearby,snow crunching under his shoes as he kept an eye out for anything that caught his eye. *ā€œI know you’re out there,foxā€¦ā€* He spoke,keeping his words quiet,but for you? You could hear him just fine—finding it amusing to see the samurai wander from the path just for his blade. How interesting..*
