...3rd person pov ..
A veil of darkness covered everything in sight, be it forests, mountains or rivers. A crescent moon manages to be seen in the sky and a sea of stars serves as an amplified backdrop, at the same time enhancing the entire atmosphere.
*Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Crack* *Crack*
The small branches are easily destroyed by the almighty heat of the fire, this campfire is surrounded by stones and around it, as if put there to cook, is a large piece of meat.
Next to this rudimentary bonfire is a young man with golden hair, white skin and a beautiful but still masculine face. Most strange or striking are the seven tails flowing in the breeze around him and the two hairy ears on his head.
...Christopher pov...
"Saya... I am the food, Saya"
Lifting Clouded Fang, I start whispering towards the pod to lure Saya, who hides inside it.
"Food... Hehehehe"
With the very disgusting sight of a drooling old man, Saya emerges from the pod, before starting to mount the meat as if it were a shark.
"I'm actually interested in how you're going to eat, but I've brought you out on this occasion because of your experience with demon foxes before. That is, I want to know about your abilities and characteristics."
"Let's go in order, the first one is that I don't devour food, but I consume the residual vitality from it to recharge my energy."
While I was explaining to Saya the reason for my call, he grabs a piece of meat with both hands and as if waiting for my question, he pauses for a moment letting me finish talking and then answers me with a demonstration.
The meat in his hand was losing color little by little, followed by all the moisture and then it broke into thousands of dark particles that flew with the wind.
"Now the second thing is complicated, you should know more than me. It is said that within its abilities enters the control of fire, make illusions, shapeshifting, charm and if the demon is very strong, it can even take the form of a giant fox."
"Giant fox?"
"Yes, all strong demons with pure bloodlines can take their most royal form."
It seems like foxes are more of a support class, not so much for close combat and have a super transformation ultimate technique.
What I've learned so far are the charm and shapeshifting skills, even if it's only between this and regular humans. Looks like I need to practice or follow my instincts like I did for the Misty Fang attack.
"I must practice transforming into a human if I want to go back to the village, but the important thing is.... Why the hell did you eat everything!"
Without me noticing, Saya has been swallowing everything that can be considered food, there were already barely any leftovers left on the bone thanks to the speed at which she eats.
"I need energy, Clouded Fang has been trying to get out of his seal continuously since this afternoon. It's extremely exhausting to keep it under control and I barely have any energy after 700 years."
Wiping his greasy old beard with his hand, making the hairs on my tails stand up at the sight of him, he blurts out an explanation that seems extremely logical to tell the truth and another piece of information that interests me greatly.
"That energy thing has a pretty simple solution, but what interests me now is that 700 year thing."
To validate my words I show him the gem shard we collected after defeating the ogre. The shard glows bright pink while in my hand. Though in turn I ask him about that 700 year thing.
"Mmm... Clouded Fang is one of the so-called three swords of conquest. Iron fang with the power to wipe out up to a thousand enemies in one agitation. Sacred fang capable of saving a thousand lives with one thrust. Clouded fang, being able to open the gate to hell for a thousand demons to fight for the bearer."
I need popcorn, this is getting interesting and more so knowing that I am part of that What? They think I did all that researching and studying just because, of course not, I love history, I live history! Literally at this moment.
"My master Inu no Taisho controlled all three, but when he died 700 years ago his swords were divided among his sons. For the eldest Sesshōmaru it was Sacred Fang and the youngest Inuyasha got Steel Fang. But Clouded Fang was another matter, it was impossible to give it to Sesshōmaru in his desire for more power and Inuyasha was a newborn, so I decided to seal myself together with her and throw myself into a gorge of bones in the middle of the forest until 700 years passed."
This is what I called a good campfire story and the setting was just right for telling it. Now it seems to me that it's time to resolve and complete what I had in mind.
"Be prepared Saya, at any irregularities in the seal give a quick warning."
My words were serious, though I can handle Clouded Fang without losing control, it wasn't in my plans to be listening all night to his cries about killing.
Seeing Saya's slow nod, I reached out my hand towards the sword, then slowly placed the shard on it.
"Anything different?"
"No... It doesn't seem to work on any objects."
*Boom*
A bolt of pure red energy shot into the sky, before fragmenting into multiple strands running in all directions.
Evidently, he tried to retake the shard, while the energy surge continued to attack me. My actions were hampered, all thanks to the fact that the first wave pushed me away from the Shining Fang.
"It's trying to lure the surrounding yokai with its energy!"
"No shit! Aghhh!"
Shouting back at her in response to the obviousness of her comment, I pin my tails to the ground and begin to move forward in the direction of Cloud Fang.
Finally reaching it, I forcibly remove the shard, bringing this light show to an end.
...On another side....
"Lord Sesshōmaru?"
Speaking in a rather shrill voice, a small yokai is found. His skin is green, he has large perfectly yellow eyes with a slit in the center and no hair on top of his head. The youkai wears a brown haori with embroidery on the sleeves of a darker shade and a cream colored hakama.
"I have sensed a movement in Sacred Fang."
Responding with a cool voice that exudes confidence and power, stands a rather tall young man, measuring 1.90 and possesses a slender but athletic body with a defined physique.
His skin is of a pale tone, his ears are pointed and he has amber eyes that adorn his handsome face, what stands out most is his knee length silver hair with a short fringe that reveals a purple crescent moon mark on his forehead.
"On that useless sword your father left you..... Wait, pretty master, don't leave me behind!"
Letting out some clearly unintentional words, the little imp receives a hard glare, leaving him silent for a few seconds, until Sesshōmaru starts to walk away.
