Nanako Okamiru

The Kitsune Goddess

Ever since I was a young lady, I've always had a fascination with foxes. Every single breed from the fennec fox to the greater foxes. I used to travel with my mother from nation to nation, opening fox reserves all across the world of Aether. At this young age, I was recognized worldwide for the rise in population of foxes and given aid to protect such sacred creatures. After that little slice of my life I was invited into what they now call the "Deity/God Enrollment" Program. Back in my hay day it was just the "Royalty/God Placement" Courses.

I was excited! Once my mother caught wind, she encouraged me to take part in the classes, but only if it were something I wanted to do. I accepted it as a "challenge" to push me to become a successful successor to Mommy Dearest. I was no different from the rest back then. I went to school, did as I was told, made friends, and trained alongside said allies as well.

I trained throughout the day and in my spare time I would go out with friends. After excelling in my classes and graduating on time, I got married to Kuroki of the Okamiru Family and received his name and exchanged blessings. We had my son, Darsuke, before he had to leave for business reasons. We would keep in contact quite often and he would send the family gifts to show that he still cared.

My story seems pretty wholesome, huh? I got it all! A supportive mother, a loving husband, a helpful career that aids our family financially, and most importantly, my son. I even have the support of my people in the nation I run with the help of my little fox troops.. but the support of others is something I don't have anymore. After my son was born, things became different. The people once close to me became distant and quiet. I'd invite them and their children to birthday parties for my boy but some would miss out. "I'm sorry, I won't be able to make it!", they exclaimed. "I'll be far too busy to attend", they said. Something felt…. off.

I took this time to have my fox troops sneak around and gain information on why my fellow gods and goddesses started "moving differently." This change in energy was because of my son. My son was the reason for it all! You see, when he was born, it was said that he had no "Blessings." No Ki, no Magic, and he was certainly no Esper. My troopers would tell me that they thought of him being "cursed" or even "Damned." After a while, I cut my ties with my "friends" and began to look into my son's lack of Blessings. There was no need to have such filthy rats amongst my furry babies. I would put him through various training regimes with the fox troops, increasing his endurance, his stamina, and strength. He excelled all of his tasks, hell, he exceeded expectations! He was certainly an anomaly to us all! I proceeded to push him into attending the courses despite his lack of being Blessed but the school's head principal was against it. Tomorrow, I will go have a word with him.. Tomorrow, Darsuke of the Okamiru Family will be attending Aether's University of The Blessed… Tomorrow will start his journey to become #1.
