I was Betrayed then Reincarnated as a Kitsune

[Luna POV]

‘Wow, this place honestly feels like a different world…That statement feels redundant.’

{Well, in your case, it kind of is.  Hmm?  Come to think of it, does the Divine Domain count as a different world as well, even if it’s still a part of this one?  Does that mean you’ve traveled to three different worlds?}

‘…I-I don’t know…I’m going to stop thinking about this now and focus on the surroundings.’

As I said, I looked around as we walked.  Aside from the buildings that gave off the feeling of ages long passed, even the air here felt ancient.

“This place feels old.” (Ophidia)

“It reminds me of a long time ago.” (Skadi)

“We dragons change little, even compared to the longest lived demons.  Though that also apples to our thoughts and sensibilities.  Alas, that is the way, for those that count years the same as minutes.” (Ling)

“…” (Ophidia)

“…” (Skadi)

“Hey now, don’t start getting all weird on us.  You two still have a ways to go before you start feeling like that, heck, do demigods and Apostles even have that problem?” (Nian)

My mirror floated around me and Tamamo started to speak.

{While time does slip by sometimes, gods, demigods, and Apostles don’t have the problem of getting stuck in it, though some of us consider it a curse.  For gods, we can’t get stuck in time, or we risk messing something up with the Concepts we govern.  But that’s enough about divine circumstances.}

“Where are all the people nya?” (Mio)

“Around.  Some are probably still asleep, some are guaranteed to be drunk.” (Dusk)

“They’ve been watching us for a while now too.  I think they’re just being timid about new people showing up after a long time.” (Luna)

“Timid dragons.  I never thought those two things would go together.” (Velvet)

“It really doesn’t fit the image of dragons from stories, does it.” (Soleil)

“OI!  YOU WERE THE ONES THAT WANTED TO MEET THE VISITORS, SO WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HIDING!?” (Nian)

“Idiot.  Do you want Old Reverious to know Luna is here in the village?” (Dusk)

“Oh, he knows.  He’s been watching me for the last two days and has been trying to teleport me to him the entire time.” (Luna)

“And when exactly where you going to tell us about that?” (Skadi)

“I wasn’t.  It’s not like we didn’t know he would try something and it doesn’t really bother me to stop his attempts to teleport me.  I mean, it’s as easy as just thinking I don’t want to go and I don’t.  Sure, this doesn’t help with our new objective with him, but whatever.  The more annoyed he is with me, the easier it will be to provoke him to attack so I can knock him out long enough for Hoshi and I to do our thing and get him to become a demispirit.” (Luna)

“Lunya, how much are you going to play around before knyocking him out nya?” (Mio)

“Not sure yet.  I might even try to fight him in my fox form just because it seems fun.” (Luna)

As we were discussing this, three people came out of one of the buildings.  The one on the lead had shoulder length dark blue hair, short brown horns that looked like Lings and a dark blue tail that ended in a mix of dark blue and red fur, and dark red eyes.  The person to her left had waist length wheat colored hair, pale green eyes, a long greenish-black tail that was tipped with a small flame.  Her chest also glowed orange, like a fire was constantly burning inside her.  She also had four horns on her head that looked almost like a crown.  The last one had dull white hair, blue horns and a similarly blue tail with lightning patterns running down it.

“Why is it that all the dragons we’ve met so far are women?  I mean, the only male one that we’ve heard of so far is this Reverious.  Is he the only male dragon or something?” (Velvet)

“No, there are men here as well, but they are the ones that are most likely still asleep or too drunk to move.  By the time that the moon is up you’ll probably have met a few.” (Nian)

The three new dragons finally stopped walking when they were a few feet away from us.  The one in the lead stepped closer to the three sisters and started speaking.

“So, these are the visitors from afar?  They seem strong.  Why didn’t you three bring them here earlier?” (???)

“It’s not like we were going to force them to come here, Ch’en.  They all have things they want to do other than walk around this stuffy place and be gawked at.” (Nian)

“A surprisingly good argument coming from you, Nian.” (Ch’en)

“Hey!  Just because how I am normally is…how I am normally, doesn’t mean that I’m THAT selfish.” (Nian)

The new dragon, Ch’en, rolled her eyes at Nian’s words and turned her attention to us.

“Greetings, visitors.  I am Ch’en, someone that has chosen the path of the sword.  It’s a pleasure to meet you.” (Ch’en)

Then the flaming tailed dragon stepped forward.

“My name is Reed.   Pleased to make your acquaintance, also, please try not to get too close to me, I don’t want to accidentally burn you.” (Reed)

‘Heh.  To think I’d run into someone whose name is the same as my family name.  Small world.’ (Luna)

The third person then started to introduce themselves.

“My name is Lisk.  My chosen path is to master the use of lightning and then turn it into a physical object to be used.” (Lisk)

“Nice to meet you all.  My name is Luna Reed, current demigod and future goddess of Stars, Space, and Fluff.  The ones around me are my party members and family.” (Luna)

“H-hey.  We share the same name?  T-that’s…” (Reed)

“Reed, there is no reason for you to show such anxiety.  These visitors are a very welcoming bunch and hold no ill intentions.  Relax your nerves.” (Ling)

“That’s easier said than done, Ling.” (Reed)

While those two bantered, the rest of us introduced ourselves.

“Hmm.  It’s nice to meet all of you, but I need to ask, is what you said true, Miss Luna?” (Ch’en)

“It is.  Can’t you tell that I’m different from the eight tails?” (Luna)

“It’s been so long since any of us have left this place that, for all we knew, kitsune have all started to get multiple tails.” (Ch’en)

“Nope, only big sis and Goddess Tamamo that I know of.” (Soleil)

“Um, isn’t this bad then, Ch’en?  What about Old Reverious?” (Lisk)

“Nothing we can do about it.  It’s not our problem.” (Ch’en)

“True.  Anyway, would you all like to talk somewhere that isn’t outside?  We can prepare some tea and chat for a while, swap stories, get to know everyone better, possibly learn what how the outside world has changed?” (Lisk)

I looked at everyone and none of them objected, so we agreed to Lisk’s proposition.  When we started making our way towards the building that the three of them came from, I felt someone appear behind our group.

When I turned around to see who it was, a tall man was standing there.  He wore a long brown and black robe.  His hair was brown with some patches of white and dull red eyes.  His horns almost looked like a bulls, but were too thin.  From his back grew a long, brown scaled tail that was tipped with a what looked like a golden blade.  Like the three sisters, his arms had a painted look, only this time the colors were brown, black and gold, and he had scales that looked like armor all along his arms.

“You.  Eight-tailed fox.  You’ve stolen something that was rightfully mine.  You have usurped my rightful place and put my hundreds of thousands of years of work to waste.  Then you taunt me by stopping all of my efforts to bring you to me.  I am Reverious!  AND I WILL KILL YOU AND TAKE MY PLACE AS GOD OF SPACE!” (Reverious)

“Well, that’s a dramatic entrance if I’ve ever seen one.” (Luna)

Chaos Realm:

Order: In-chan.

Crisis: Yes?

Order: What are you teaching my daughter?

Crisis: Nothing that I would consider bad.

Order:...I...*sigh*

You realize that you are the literal personification of insanity, right?  What you consider not bad is absolute madness for normal people and gods.

Crisis: Oh please, there's nothing that I could teach Astraea that you won't eventually, Mister Chaos Personified.

Order: Astraea is literal Balance and Positivity, once she fully comes into her powers, anything weird you taught her has the chance to become what all worlds will consider positive.  You do realize that, right?

Crisis: Yeah.  And?  Where is your adventurous spirit?  This has every chance to make things infinitely more interesting.

Order, I think she's a lost cause...

Order: Payto, I don't like that contemplative look you're getting.

It's just, I can kind of understand her point.

Order: Once we're done here, we are going to have a serious talk, do you understand?

Yes ma'am!

Crisis: Kukukukukukuku.  Now to sneak away while she's distracted.

Order: Oh no you don't. *Grabs Crisis by the ear*

Crisis: Gah!
