Side chapter 1: The Ancestor

Unknown location, Unknown time.

In a beautiful field that was full of plant life, a beautiful woman can be seen tending to the flowers growing nearby. however, her peaceful atmosphere in the place was disturbed when a man wearing traditional armor walked into the place.

"Why are you here instead of doing your duty?" The woman asked as the man replied.

"There was an anomaly, during my routine route over Kuoh town, I sensed familiar energy, an energy that we thought long lost"

"Stop speaking in rituals brother, and tell me what you want to say"

"I sensed the sacred energy of 'Her'" he said as the woman immediately stopped what she was doing and turned to look at him with a serious face.

"Do you take me for a fool brother? the last of her descendants were killed before the second world war, and now you are saying that there may be another descendant of her in Kuoh of all places?" She asked as the man had a sad expression and said.

"That is the thing Sister, the presence felt tainted with something demonic, if I had to guess then I would say that the last of her descendant has been turned into a Devil"

The moment he said that he felt a heat unlike any other as reality itself started to warp under the intense flames surrounding the woman.

"Those wretched devils, if I had known that they would one day steal her descendant away from us, I would have never allowed them to buy the land of Kuoh from us, but it seems we are too late and have failed her yet again, I only hope that we get to at least see her descendant and find out if he or she are doing well," she said as the flames died down and her expression turned sad.

"That is something that is possible sister, I had followed the presence all the way to a translation where the presence got onto a train headed for Kyoto, If we are lucky enough and he or she indeed arrives at Kyoto, we may have the opportunity to see her descendent," the man said

"Then make preparations immediately, we will be using our mortal disguise to stay with Yasaka until we find the descendent," she said as the man nodded and disappeared in a gust of wind.

The woman looked towards the foxes lazying about the field and said in a sad voice.

"I am sorry my dear sister, I was unable to save the last of your descendants, hopefully, you would forgive me when you awaken once more, but I would at least make sure that he or she is living a good life, if not, then I would raze the underworld itself and destroy that wretched Lucifer myself, this I promise you on my name as the sun goddess, my dear Inari," she said as a determined expression came on her face.

one thing was for sure, Kyoto was going to be very noisy in the coming days.
