The Shadow Fox
Episode 1: No need for an intro
Shadow fox: Life..........everyone lives one life. But
if you think about it we live two lives, life and
death. Life being in the skin of your body, and death
being in the after-life.
But me.........I live..........only one life that'll
never die, like a curse............why was this curse
given to me? Why me? This...is my life.
My life is like a puzzle; there are some pieces that
are there, some to be found and some that'll never be
found. The pieces that are there are small fragments
of my life. What I do remember is my mother. She was
caring and loving, I had a perfect life until the day
it ended. It was like as if someone had taken away
your most valuable object, in this case, it was my
mother. Like being hit by a truck an explosion rocked
me and knocked me out. As soon as I woke up I found my
house in ruins and the sight of it made my head turn
away. It hit me like a brick wall and I ran away, I
ran away from my only home, my only family was gone.
Fragments of what I thought to be my brother and
sister weren't there in my mind. I wandered through
the forest, weakened by the blast I collapsed to the
ground.
All of what I had, my family, my life, but the most
important thing in my life was taken away… and that
was my mother. I felt as though I would die right
here, right now, but destiny had other plans for me.
Life is like a rock, never knowing when it'll ever
change or break. That’s what I thought when I woke up.
Felt as though a seed had just sprouted, giving me new
life. The room was a brown beige with a hint of White.
My fur as black as space, with the Milky Way on my
chest a bit dirty. I felt as though I wanted to die,
but I wanted to find out who killed my family and
fragmented my life. The door slid open and a female
wolf appeared, she was wearing Japanese overall with a
purple bow around her waist.
Mrina : "Well…your awake”
She said. Her voice was as nice as a feather. She came
and checked on me
Shadow fox: "…. I’m fine"
At the young age of 10 my fur was still growing.
Mrina : "What’s your name?”
She asked
Shadow fox: ...shadow fox".
Mrina : "Well nice to meet you, my name is Mrina".
The first question that came to mind was where she
Found me.”
Mrina: I found you near a country road, you were out
of it so I brang you here and treated your wounds."
I sat up and felt the first of many wounds; my eyes
had felt as though someone swiped a knife and it left
a scar on me. It was on my right eye and went down to
my cheek.”
Mrina: how did that happen?"
She asked.
Shadow fox: My family…. they were murdered".
Mrina: Oh.........I’m sorry to hear that.
Her green eyes Staring at me. I closed my eyes and
laid back down.”
Shadow fox: Could...you leave me alone for a second".
She replied with a nod, got up and left.
Shadow fox: (How could this happen to me, why me?)
My tears coming out as I sobbed for my mother and her
death.
Shadow fox: (Why did this happen to me?...........why)
I woke up the next day and wanted to see myself in the
mirror.
Mrina: … your awake"
She said”
Mrina :I thought you would sleep forever.
Shadow fox: (I wish it was that way)"do you have a
mirror I could look at?”
She took me to her bathroom and I looked at the mirror
and saw the scar that was put on me, it was on my
right eye and went to my cheek. It was somewhat
painful to the touch and clearly was still somewhat
fresh.
Mrina: ”how are you feeling?”
She asked, but I just stared at the mirror as if a
jolt of electricity hit me.
Shadow fox: The scar is a piece of a puzzle that was
blank.
Mrina just stared and said
Mrina: ummm...your breakfast is on the table.
And with that she went to the dining room. Meanwhile I
just stared at the scar, replaying the events of my
family's death. My head falling down slowly, not
knowing what faith will bring me. I knew I had to go
on, but I wanted to find out who killed my mother. But
somehow a piece of the puzzle wasn't complete until
later. That was the question, when will the piece of
the puzzle come to full vision. Only time will tell.
I left the bathroom and went to the dining room where
mrina was eating her breakfast, I sat down and start
to eat mine's.
Mrina: I’m sorry about what happened to your family"
She said.
I stopped eating and said
Shadow fox: "It’s ok"
I ate my breakfast, as it was good. I stared out at
the window and wondered what was in store for me.
Mrina looking worried said
Mrina: "how about you clean up and we'll go outside.
Ok?"
I looked into her and sighed
Shadow fox: "Alright"
She smiled
Mrina: a shower works for me, it clears the mind"
I went to the bathroom, got in the shower and started
the water. As soon as I felt the water hit my body it
was like a breath of refreshing air hitting me, all my
worries washed away.
Shadow fox: (maybe this is what I needed)
I took a quick shower and closed the water. I got out
and dried myself. As I did, I saw cloths that looked
like the same cloths that mrina wore. I put it on and
felt like a one of those mystics that my mother told
me.
Mrina:"so you like it?
"Mrina asked.
Shadow Fox:” well I do feel refreshed"
I said,
Mrina: "good, now lets go outside"
She said.
It felt as though I was in Japan’s Taisho Era,
everyone was wearing era style cloths.
Shadow fox :(wow) what is this place?
I asked.
Mrina:"This village is about a mile the from the city"
She said as we started walking.
Shadow fox:” How come all of the people are dressed
the same as you?"
I asked."
Mrina: Well, we practice a special art Called
“Mysticism.”
Shadow fox: What is that?"
I asked.
Mrina: Mysticism is an art that's used in different
villages and in different Ways.
"I practice the art of healing."
Shadow fox: "healing?"
I asked.
Mrina: that’s how I healed most of your wounds... some
of the people here practice different arts, healing
gives you the ability to heal wounds, scars, Cuts and
other injures."
Shadow Fox:"You mean physical injures?"
I asked
Mrina: yes.
Then I stopped and asked
Shadow fox: Then if you can heal physical injures, how
come the scar on my eye isn't gone?"
Mrina: That’s what I’m also trying to figure out too.
She said with a confused look on her face.”
Mrina: that’s why I’m taking you seeing my grandpa.
We got to a shrine temple where I met her grandpa.
Grandpa: mrina, so good of you to come and
visit.........who is this?”
The old man said with a frail voice.”
Mrina: His name is shadow, I found him near a road
And I healed his wounds."
Grandpa:"Ah I see.”
I saw his old eyes shift to my right eye.
Grandpa: "What is this?"
He examined my scar."
Grandpa: Didn’t you say you healed all of his wounds?"
The old man asked.
Mrina: I did, but that scar on his right eye won't go
away. I tried twice but to no avail. I don't know
what's wrong.”
The old man pointed me to sit on my knees, so I did.
He did the same and closed his eyes; he put his left
hand close to my scar.
I felt a power I had never felt before and the old man
quickly pulled his hand away.
Mrina:"What is it grandpa?"
Grandpa: "I felt something...a power I haven’t felt in
a long time."
Mrina: I don't understand.
The old man stood up.
Grandpa: Mrina, I think you've found someone with
special powers.........powers you might not
understand.
Mrina looked at her grandpa in confusion.i was confused
too, what power was he talking About?
Grandpa: you are gifted shadow, you have powers far
beyond what any mortal has, I believe that the powers of
mysticism work on you in some aspects."
Shadow Fox: You mean to tell me I have my own healing
powers?” I asked
Grandpa:"Yes, among other powers you have, they haven’t fully
developed yet cause of your young age."
Then it hit me, I was more then just a normal fox… I’m
something special.”
Shadow fox: So you mean I’m not a normal fox?"
Grandpa: Your a special fox/wolf.”
He said”
Shadow fox: Fox…wolf?
I said as I stood up.
Grandpa: Yes, you have both features of the Fox and
wolf in you.”
I was surprised that I was a fox/wolf; I always
thought I was a fox.
Later in the day, he explained that my powers came
from a place called the shadow realm. He told me that it
was a dark world that was in a war and lost."
Mrina: then if that realm was destroyed,
then........."
Mrina froze and her grandpa spoke”
Grandpa: Some of those that came from the shadow realm
might have Come here to continue their work. "
Mrina: Their work?
"Mrina said. Her grandpa nodded
Grandpa: "Some of them are good, some of them are
evil. The evil ones want to rule this realm and any
other realm they come upon. That’s where shadow comes
in" I looked at him with a shocked face”
Shadow fox: What are you talking about? You mean to
tell me I have to fight them?"
I was so confused
grandpa: Yes,
As soon as he said that I realized I was different.
Shadow fox: so I’m...........not..............
Grandpa: Your powers are so powerful, your immortal" "
Shadow fox: What?!"
I said.
Shadow fox: (I can't die...so that's why I
survived)…why me?"
I said
Shadow fox: Why was I given these powers?"
Grandpa: I don't know why you were given these power, but
you have these power and
You could use these powers to help others
"The old man said. But I didn't hear him, as I was in
my own Space.
Shadow fox:(It’s like a curse, I can't die. but
why?)"Why can't I die?
Just when I thought I found a piece of the puzzle,
another one pops up and grabs me with a curse that
Will stay with me for as long as I live. Was it my
destiny to have these powers or is it something more?
To be continued…
