There was an odd occurrence once back in her home of Northern Fiore, where just outside of Orchidia within the outskirts laid a peculiar problem. A foreign flower grew with vines that stretched quite far and wide. Its tendrils were somehow capable of leeching the mana for all that surrounded it. Lumikki barely left the task unscathed, she was weaker then but still fairly strong. Yet prolonged exposure could make you a target to its approach. The Rune Knights from that point on handled the matter after Lumikki killed the blossom. Though her birds were kind enough to collect a bulk of the remaining seeds before the military forced had cleaned it all out. Handy tools, the Demoness surmised, and today they will serve a purpose. Lumikki passed along each seed to a bird, so that they may plant them for her. Not before she activated and embedded her Obscura into them first of course.

After a few minutes of walking, a shadowy blur cut before her. First of many guards she presumed, but that prospect fell apart when she noticed what it was. It one of many, a young shinobi among a few others. Three samurai arriving from further down the hall. They didn’t look like risen, a power she hoped the Kitsune didn’t stumble upon. But no, they seemed healthy and living. Yet there was hardly any life present in their eyes. Rather, they were in a deep haze, even their movements seemed sluggish. Though not enough to dull the shinobi’s skill, two of the five had promptly lunged for her with strikes that would down any man. It was through hair width that she managed to dodge and by her collective speed was she able to move back.

Of course the men did not care of what creature they faced, their mission was far to clean. Burned into their mind was the desire to protect their new mistress. Though Lumikki saw an opportunity for new favors.
The shinobi didn’t relent, and though Lumikki had a moment to speak her jest, they closed the gap. All while the Samurai attempted to rush her down. Their armor making soft clanks as their swift and careful steps brought them towards her. But Lumikki was not bothered by their advances, not if they met with her frost.

Lumikki sucked her teeth in frustration as their rapid and coordinated movements made it harder for her to channel her mana and cast a proper spell. All she could manage was hardening the darkness around her to shield her from their unrelenting attack and try to chill the air in all her movements so that she could wear them out sooner. By the time their lightning technique darted through the air toward her, Lumikki was catching her breath again. Still, she could barely manage to divert the strikes as it grazed one of her arms.
Lumikki muffled her cry and took a moment to lay a hand on the wall. With the lightning striking for her, the other two had to reposition, this gave Lumikki a moment to gather her breath weave her magic at last. Just in time to avoid the strikes of the samurai now trying to rush her down as well. They only fell slightly short before the air froze instantly, stopping them in their tracks.

With every step higher into the lair, the foul stench grew stronger. Lumikki found it repulsive, but not surprising. In some of the diverging caverns, she could make out rotting corpses littering the floor. Victims of the Kitsune for sure, for flesh was not what she had wanted of them but their life force instead. From the books and tomes she had read in preparation of her trip, it was made clear that the essence of another was how they often grew their power. At least, when they weren’t of the benevolent kind tied to a deity instead.

”Anata ga koko ni iru riyū wa wakatte imasu! Shikashi, anata mo hoka no hito-tachi to onaji yō ni taorerude shou.”(“I know why you’re here! But you will fall like all the others.”) A voice echoed and bounce from all the walls. Making it impossible to discern where it had came from. Lumikki’s feathers began to stand up as now her defenses were on full force. It was soon time to clash with Kitsune of the cave and so her eyes darted from every which way.
”Karera ga watashi ni furi ni hataraite iru no ga wakarimasu... Orokamono! Sono miryoku wa karera ga omotte iru hodo kyōryokude wa arimasen..”(“I see they work against me….fools! That charm isn’t as powerful as they think it is.”) Lumikki, while dragging her talons along the wall of the cave as she walked by and leaving marks, would ready her magics. As long as she was in the fox’s lair, her deceptions were limited. She felt the spells of the Kitsune layer upon her the moment she step foot within the entrance. All she could do now is trick her in other ways besides sight.

With the advantage of the skies, Lumikki pierced the depths below to look for the Yokai in question. Though it would take sometime before she could make sense of all the things below. Just before the herd of people was a magical circle that Lumi had never seen before. Drawn into what looked like dried blood, but along the lines were jewels and gems. All reflecting the light of the fully moon.
”Ā, awarena tengu ni naruda rō.Do no yōna hōhō de wairo o uketotta to shite mo, watashi wa ima sugu ni anata o owara semasu!”(“Oh we shall wretched tengu. However way they bribed you, I'll end you now!”)
