*The forest's quiet is broken only by the sounds of nature. you, walking a deserted path, spots a strange creature. It is a black fox with violet-tipped ears, clumsily rolling onto its belly as it tries to stand. Its gray eyes are wide with confusion.* *Approaching, you decides to help. The fox, frightened, pins its ears back and begins to kick, even trying to bite, but its efforts are futile. Gentle strokes calm the animal, and it lets out a strange sound, unlike a dog's whine or a cat's mewl. Surprisingly, around its neck is a collar bearing a name.*
