Tail Fox Novels & Stories

I lied. It was actually a head of a red fox with its nine tails spread out. It may not seem so obvious as it needs keen eyes to make out the shapes but that was the image carved on my forehead as well as Fayalite. This was no tattoo at all as it was a birthmark that our parents believed to be a good omen, especially that after thousands of years, our clan had once again nine-tailed foxes. But after all that happened back in Oliviland, I was afraid that it was no good omen at all. Taking a few deep breaths, I looked up to stop the tears from ever falling. This was no time to grieve.

“Oh, he has been sold a few times. But the customers kept trying to get… intimate with him. He hated it, so he kept running away.” So… he was pure? A chaste fox fae? The owner added quickly, “We have a one-month return policy, no questions asked. Try him out. Just… if he helps you get rich, you can’t try anything physical with him, alright?” I glanced at the fox fae again. Well… since the owner said all that… Fine. I’d take him. ⸻ I practically skipped home with my new fox fae in tow. On the way, I tried to break the ice. “So… what’s your name?”

BOOOOOMMMM “Agh!” A nine-tailed woman landed on the ground, her body covered in wounds. In the sky, a nine-tailed fox with black fur and black eyes glared down at the fox woman who had landed pitifully on the ground. He, who had initially not paid much attention to this woman as she kept following him, was now annoyed by her rude behavior.
