[ Yakujin's Lair. ]
Yakujin returned to her lair, a big cave covered with many enchantments that she used to repel all other Spirits away from interrupting her in her sleep.
"( I hope you're not pissed on whatever news the Snake brought you, Master Yakujin. )" said a voice, communicating telepathically to Yakujin's mind.
"( The 'Brotherhood of Scales', the 'Brotherhood of Scales' again. )" Yakujin responds.
"( Pfft, those scaly reptiles are getting on my nerves, seeing their scales made my beautiful fur shiver in disgust of their scales, ugh! )"
"( Can't those scaly savages keep this beautiful fox asleep in peace and relax, fighting could make any female go ugly, you know? )" Yakujin asks as she flicks her hair.
"( Well, it is your risk for being a 'Chimera Master', milady. )"
"( For being one is already an 'X-Mark' to your head, a word used in the Ages of Old. )"
"( Sigh, so much for the Age of Chimeras and Hybrids, pft! )"
"( Why they're too many of us in the first place? it made me sick since more hybrids are born more uglier than before. )"
"( Pft, even humans now create Hybrids or attempt to become hybrids themselves, what annoying progress those mongrels made. )"
"( They should've just lived normally and paid tribute to their Ruler Chimeras, like the inferiors they always are... )" Yakujin tells the one she talked to in her mind as she lay down relaxed fully on her place.
"( You should try to be kind, especially towards the Hybrids, Master Yakujin. )"
"( Aren't they still your kind too? )" asked the voice to her.
"( Well yes, but I have to be picky for that. )"
"( Since I don't want to relate myself to those low-value creatures than mine, hmph! )" said the Kitsune Chimera as she then heard something from afar.
"( Is the village having another party again? )" Yakujin asks as she hears a loud voice, like a parade that came from the Village that was placed in the 'Thunder Mist Mountains', the Village under her domain that worshipped her.
"( I think the villagers are giving you another offering again, Master Yakujin! )" the voices tells.
"( Another, now!? )"
"( Oh right, I forgot that this is the time when these human mongrels appease me with their offerings. )"
"( I hope their offerings taste good this time, unlike the ones before... )" Yakujin says as she still lays in her lair, awaiting the villagers to come with her offering.
...
( Meanwhile. )
Many men rise into the mountains, lifting a palanquin that had a young boy in it, whom the villagers prepared as an offering for the Great Chimera Master, Yakujin.
" The Shamans told us that the boy possessed the blood with the greatest delicacy to the Chimera. " said one of the men who carries the palanquin.
" The 'Sacrifice Lamb Blood', the Blood said could make every kind of Monsters, even the Hybrids into great ecstasy as they smell it. " said the other man.
" With this boy being offered, the Great Yakujin should able to withstand her hunger for ten years based on what the Shaman foretold us. "
" Hope that is true... "
" Right, brat! " the man says to the young sacrifice as he sits inside his palanquin, praying to himself as the Palanquin goes on.
( Many Days Ago)
[ Thunder Mist Mountains, Sakurazaka Village. ]
[ Sakurazaka Village Shaman Temple Yard. ]
" Behold people of the Sakurazaka, the time has come! " said the Head Shaman who is also the Village Head of the Sakurazaka Village, Yamagami Arikato, gathering the crowds as he puts a young boy, a weak-pale boy, tied in chains.
" For years, the Great Master, Yakujin had taken away the rain from us, making our crops fail to grow as she stole the rain shower and the dark clouds from us due to our bad offering last month.
" But this time, we had found a better offering, behold. " Head Shaman Yamagami says, approaching the young boy as he cuts his skin, making the boy's blood come out.
As soon as it came out, suddenly a great dark aura came from the skies, Bug Monsters came from the skies as they all smelled the boy's blood charging it as they were maddened by its scent.
[ Earth Capture ]
The Head Shaman uses his Earth Magic to capture the Horde of Bug Monsters and crushes it in front of the Villagers who witnessed it.
" As you all could see, the Monsters are so attracted to this boy's blood. "
" The reason is that the boy possessed the greatest taste in human blood that any monster even the chimera likes. "
" The 'Sacrifice Lamb Blood', a type of blood known to have great numbers of possessors in the lands of the West, Westerios. "
" In Easterion, only a few had this kind of blood which we must make use of for the taste of his blood will save us all as we offered him to Master Yakujin! " Tetsuya explains, making the crowd cheers and pray as they the solution to their endless crops problem.
" Praise the Mountains for showing us the one who will save us all! " said the Head Shaman as they all cheered for the weak boy who would save them many times forward while the 'savior' himself simply lay weak as he had not eaten for some time thanks to the Head Shaman ordered him to do an extreme fast for no reason.
( After some time. )
" Hey, put it here! " said one of the men, as he ordered them all to put down the palanquin where they would leave the boy as an offering for Yakujin, the men realized that she would come as they could hear thunder cracking, meaning that the 'Chimera Master' is here, coming to see what they offered.
The men instantly leave, leaving the boy inside the palanquin as the boy also senses the incoming Chimera.
" Ah... " the boy says as he comes out, realizing that it might be disrespectful if he meets the Master while he's inside the Palanquin, better to show himself in order to at least respect the mighty Chimera as he bows and kneels to the ground, awaiting her to come.
" Ah! Who is this? " said a female voice coming towards the boy from the forest.
" Are you the one who will be my offering today? " said the voice as the boy sensed the being was already in front of him.
" Yes, Guardian of Thunder Mist Mountains, it is I... "
" I... Shiro... "
" Will be the one who is sacrificed... "
" Please, be appeased... " the boy says to the Chimera while still kneeling on the ground, couldn't dare himself to see what's in front of him.
"( This is it... )" the boy tells in his mind while the Chimera slurps the tongue.
