I had a weird dream.

At least...I think so...

I can't remember my dream much...but I think it was about my previous life back on Earth.

It was...a nostalgic nightmare...

Needless to say, I woke up and opened my eyes slowly in the somewhat bright room.

Heavy.

Why did I feel so heavy...?!

It was like something was weighing me down...

I looked down at my waist and saw Principal PomPom sleeping by my side with his arms wrapped around me.

S-S-S-SO CUTE!

Ugh...

I can't believe this guy is over 600 years old...

I looked down at the fluffball holding onto me in his sleep for his dear life.

My eyes locked onto those squishy cheeks of his.

I want to pinch one of his cheeks...

My hand moved toward Principal PomPom slowly, so I wouldn't wake him up, and I was about to poke one of his cheeks but I was stopped by someone in the room.

"O' young one...Showeth restraint and holdeth back the urge to doth as thee prithee..." said a deeply mystical, yet clear, voice of a person in the room.

I looked around.

Who was it?

It was then that I finally realized that it wasn't a human talking to me.

The only other thing in the room was a white fox.

A nine-tailed fox.

The fox itself was pure white except for the tips of its tail, which had light blue highlights

The fox itself was pure white except for the tips of its tail, which had light blue highlights. Its eyes were crystal blue and they held some sort of wisdom behind them.

Its tail spread out just like a delicate blooming flower.

The being in front of me was so elegant and beautiful that it nearly took my breath away.

"...W-What are you...?" I breathed out with amazement.

"Lief, Cordelia de Boren Cyllia, knoweth mine nameth for it shalt beest one to remember. I am Ao Lune, elder fox of Oakwood, a landeth of mystic creatures," the beautiful fox spoke with a voice that was full of wisdom.

I had no idea what the fox was saying since it had a heavy accent and different dialect...but it sounded pretty so I just nodded my head along as if I actually understood what it said.

I heard the door open and turned to see the jerk prince, Florence, walk into the room.

"She said her name is Ao Lune. You can call her 'Lune' if her name is too long to say for you though. She's from Oakwood, the land of magical creatures," he translated with a smile.
