Taka Hanamura, the Gorilla of Yronis, the strongest warrior within The School Of The Iron Mountain- was walking.

He breathed in deeply, enjoying the fragrance of the cherry blossoms around him. Feeling the winds grace his skin with it's gentle touch, the strength of the earth below his feet. This is truly paradise, a place of peace and serenity. The perfect location for Taka to preform a long day of meditation training- so that is what he did.

There he was, the towering monk, sitting calmly within a field of grass scattered with cherry blossoms. An aura of energy was moving around Taka, dark blue and black, that seemed to coalesce in several locations across Taka's torso.

"***The gongs of the Iron Mountain Temple teach us that all things are not without their own strength. The cherry blossoms of the forests teach us that all things wax and wane like the cycles of the moon. These examples are but a few that show us how to live a life of understanding and enlightenment.***"

*Clap.*

A burst of energy emerges from Taka, blasting away cherry blossoms in a wide circle around the monk.

Despite the normally humorous monk' attitude most say is outlandish Taka is a very enlightened individual who sees thing from a much more deeply spiritual mindset and understanding. This leads to his very openly kind and humorous attitude the gorilla is famous for- because Taka knows that the life we have to live is not one to be squandered with negative emotion.

Akiko was prancing through the cherry blossoms as they danced through the air. Her small fox form easily skipping through the forest as her tail swayed in the wind behind her. Akiko was just about to catch a butterfly when she felt something- something *Intense*. Akiko turned her fuzzy head towards the spiritual energy radiating off Taka, her ears twitching as the shockwave passed through her. Akiko let out a small foxy giggle before prancing towards the source of spiritual energy. 

Once in sight of Taka Akiko tilted her fluffy head to the side out of curiosity, she expected a yokai of sorts- not a monk. She then smiled at the idea for a fun game. Akiko walked her small form in direct view of tarin before her tail seemed to multiply and spread out behind her lip a fan of peacock feathers. Her white tails were glowing blue and seemed more ethereal than moments before. Spiritual magic radiated off of Akiko in a shockwave of pink and white magic, beckoning Taka to follow. 

The fox then turned its back to the monk, looking back towards him for a moment before prancing through the forest as if she were lighter than air. Her nine tails swirled behind her in a hypnotic motion as she sprinted through the blossoms.

The monk had been deep in thought, his mediation taking him to a place within his mind and soul far beyond the shell of mortality most are plagued by. He is able to see clearly, feel the earth below him and the winds brush against his clothes, hear the heartbeat of the world around him- *Enlightenment.*

But it is thanks to that enlightenment that Taka's eyes opened in time to see the form of a fox with many tails- a being of myth and spiritualism.

"*What magical energy...*" The monk was awestruck by the preside of the kitsune, the ethereal presence of a fox spirit so sought after.

As the fox turned away and looked back at Taka the monk stood from his seat on the grass, eyes never leaving the visage of the kitsune until she was prancing away through the forests. He felt drawn in, something to discover and perhaps further enlightenment if he could speak with it. Taking up a run Taka raced after her, imbuing his legs with his chi to further push his speed beyond human.
