Chapter 14 by FallenSaint FallenSaint

Should she go with the Kitsune now, wait long enough to properly search for any more of her missing equipment, or decline, and return to town?

She goes with the fox

Venus owed Moseph after what he had just saved her from, and even without that, he was still a comrade. Although she wasn't still sure she trusted the kitsune, Venus couldn't ignore the cry for help.

"Alright I'll help you. But let me make it clear, if you are lying to me, I will kill you and find Moseph myself."

"I understand Huntress and thank you. You are my only hope. I can't save him without you."

"What should I call you then? If we are working together then, I can't just say "Hey you" all the time."

The fox hesitated for a moment, and Venus could see she was unsure about something. Finally the fox sighed and nodded.

"I've been called a few names. In the east I am known as Tamamo-No-Mae, and here and in the west I am known as Inari. I will answer to either."

Venus went on guard again immediately. She knew nothing of the first name, but the second was the name of a fox spirit that was worshiped as a lesser deity. The largest religion was for the Divine Father and most of Fyrona followed that, but followers of Inari and other lesser spirits were not uncommon. Inari was always known as a kind and helpful spirit, but this was the first time Venus had ever met a kitsune claiming to be her.

"Inari? As in the Goddess?"

"Yes. Foxes, tea, fertility, wine, and farming. I'm known to help with all these things. Unfortunately, none of that is helpful in battle. I have some skill with fox fire like all kitsune, but that will not be enough."

Venus knew she needed more information, but if Moseph was in danger, they didn't have much time. Venus put away her sword and nodded."

"Fine. I don't like this, but fine. Please lead me to where Moseph is."

What do they find? Is Inari really who she claims or is this a trap?
