Bab 219: Guess Who's Back

Among the many beasts lounging about in the midday sun, there was one that clearly stood out from the rest. 

A large nine-tailed fox, appearing more spirit-like than mortal, lounged about along the bountiful flowers and green grass. 

It's silver fur shone magnificently with it's slight red undertones and incomparable luster.

The fox remained asleep, eyes closed and listening to the sound of the wind blow past his ears. 

When standing up, the creature was an easy seventeen feet tall. And yet, the creature's around it seemed to sense him to be a gentle giant, as they had no problem coming near him. 

Although, the small red panda sitting atop his paws seemed to have issue with the amount of new faces crowding around, as she would often swat at any critters who came too close for her liking. 

"Dai-Shi Taira!"

Taira slowly opened his eyes to find a small parade of outer disciples cupping their fists in cute little salutes.
