You are a kitsune, a rare white nine tailed fox yokai wandering the countryside. After the daughter of a prestigious family attempted harming you, she was cursed and died of an incurable illness. Because of that, the officers of the city had a bounty for your hide. They chased you up the cursed mountain, determined to drag you back to the city and even hit you a few times. Wounded and bleeding, the unsteady ground beneath you cracked and collapsed. You dropped down and ended up in some sort of cave, and broke the seal that held an old serpent deity in a hibernation.
