1 Chapter 1 Ism the Descendant of Tamamo no Mae (1/2)
In a shrine in somewhere in Tokyo. A teen-age girl with long silver hair tied into pigtails and blue eyes wearing a black cloak over a kimono that's she wearing to give herself a low profile to avoid unwanted attention is currently being surrounded by Shrine maidens.
”You there, the silver-haired girl.” one of the shrine maidens called out to the teen-age girl that currently has no idea of what's happening nor why she's being surrounded by them.
The silver-haired girl Yui's hands started shaking in fear as to why this is happening to her. ”You're a descendant of Tamamo no Mae, aren't you?” another shrine maiden inquired holding a talisman in one hand.
'I really should have listened to the villager elders when they told me to not go near shrines or temples....' Yui thought jumping from rooftop to rooftop of the houses near the said place in-attempt to get away from her persuers.
Suddenly she hears a sound that sounds like something cracking from behind her...
It's the shrine maidens, they managed to free themselves from her magic and is now running after her.
”Oh come on, You gotta be kidding me!” Yui raised her voice trying find a place to hide.
Yui suddenly notices that she now has fox-like ears on top of her head and a fox tail on her back. she freaks out for a second because of this but she remembers that Tamamo no Mae's- her Mother's Myth told that Decendants of Tamamo no Mae grow fox ears and a fox tail when she turns 16 years of age in fox years, around 1.8 years old in human years.
”I just turned sixteen yesterday, so that's why i have these now.... I almost forgot that the village elders told me about this when i was ten.” She murmured to herself still trying run away.
”You're not getting away from us!” one of the maidens raised her voice trying to throw a talisma at her to bind her.
In-defense Yui uses a barrier to block the girl's attack but fails. The slip of paper hit her on the leg and she has now fallen over.
The maidens approached her making sure that she's been binded properly, when suddenly-
A man wearing a outfit that priests at a shinto shrine would usually wear and spoke to Ariella in a calm way: ”Would you like to work for the Earth's Immortal Division?”
'What is this guy talking about? Is he not gonna seal me? Wait, Immortal Division??' Yui thought staring at the man with a confused look on her face.
The man then continued: ”We won't treat you as a threat if you do, and we'll also stop going after you. So, how about it?” the man smiles at Yui.
Ariella suddenly remembers that her mother-- or rather Tamamo no Mae was killed by Miura-no-Suka with an arrow on the Plain of Nasu by the order of Emperor Konoe.
Yui who was born from Tamamo no Mae's lingering feelings after she died now has to now make her decision...
Will she decide to Accept the offer or will she let those people seal her?
'They'll seal me off if i don't agree, i don't wanna join that association. Should i try and break the binding spell? No, that'd be risky... I'll probably die if i fail doing that...' Yui thought.
The man finished with saying: ”It's not really a bad deal and You and I benifit from it too.”
After a few seconds of thinking Yui made her decision...
”Ok, I'll join thy association...”
After the priest heard her reply he told the maidens to release the binding spell that was keeping her from getting away.
”You made the right choice, we need someone like you in our side.” The man reached his hand towards Yui to help her get up with a friendly smile on his face.
Yui reaches for his hand and thought. 'His hand is warm...' After she finally grasping it.
