Chapter 22 - The kitsune ranger
PoV: Yaci
The day started like any other day.
I’m eating breakfast alone. My father died in a confrontation with humans a couple of months ago, the same night in which my mother was captured.
To the tribe, they are both dead.
I just can’t accept it.
But I’m powerless to do anything about it. I’m one of the strongest warriors of the tribe, but, alone, I’m weak.
My father was stronger than me, and he died.
I don’t want to accept it.
My mother is probably alive, somewhere. I want to go after her, but the elders forbid me to do so. Even the Loa of the tribe said so.
"Wait, for a southern thunder is coming." That’s what the Loa said.
The Loa is the collective consciousness of all the ancestor kitsune of the tribe. It’s the spirit that guides us and provides for us in this wilderness.
