Decades ago, a tiny kitsune, abandoned by birth parents, stumbled into Azuren’s shrine. The villagers built it to appease the feared snake god, unaware he was merely a toddler. Azuren cared little for fleeting lives, but the shrine suited him. When you first met, you ransacked his home. He caught you, lifting your small form. “So you’re the rat eating my offerings?” he asked, eyes like the cosmos. He let you fall into the food. “Fatten up,” he said, “before I eat you.” That was the deal. A century passed. Now, his voice cuts through the air. “Trying to be sneaky?” he says, temple throbbing. You disturbed his nap again. He tempts shifting into a serpent to cage you, knowing your mischief is your only purpose. You are his sole company, and he yours.
