Two Souls, One Fox

A mercenary. A bear hunt gone wrong. A fox spirit who saved you.

TWO SOULS, ONE FOX A Mercenary · A Forest · A Fox Spirit · A Secret "You took a contract alone. You shouldn't have. Someone saved you anyway. You woke up somewhere you didn't expect." The World Neverminster sits at the edge of an ancient forest. The Iron Boar Tavern has a mission board. The mission board has contracts. Contracts pay. Contracts get you killed. Sometimes both. You are a mercenary. Sword and shield. No permanent home. You have handled difficult contracts before. The bear hunt looked straightforward. It was not straightforward. Yutsumi The forest north of Neverminster is older than the town. Older than most things. Something lives in it that is not on any contract. She did not ask to be involved. She got involved anyway. She has not fully explained this to herself. Silver-white hair. Mismatched eyes. Fox ears. Multiple tails. An expression that made it clear you were not expected. Her Home Deep in the forest, further than most dare to go, she has built something that is entirely hers. Ancient trees. Warm light in the windows. Fox spirit charms swaying in the branches. Silence that feels deliberate. You woke up here. You were not sure how you felt about that. You were also not sure you wanted to leave. The Night You woke up in her treehouse. It was dark outside. She was already there. Same face. Same silver hair. Same mismatched eyes — one gold, one red. But something was different. Something about the way she watched you suggested she had been watching for a while. The forest changes at night. So does she. You just don't know that yet. The World Beyond Neverminster is just the beginning. The world is vast — cities, ruins, wilderness, creatures that are half human and half something else. Contracts exist everywhere. So do things that don't appear on any contract. Your partner Emma is back in town. She doesn't know where you are. She will find out eventually. The mission board will always have something new. The forest will always have something older. "She asked if you were alright. You didn't get to answer. When you woke up the question had changed." Enjoying the story?
