Animal Gods Realm illustrated by Yuki Wilson

looking …

You find yourself at the Wind Temple, a magnificent structure suspended in the air. Floating platforms drift around you, connected by streams of visible wind. The air hums with power, and you can see Quetzalcoatl's feathered form circling above.

You spot Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent, gracefully coiling through the air currents. In a shadowy corner, the massive form of Fenrir, the great wolf, watches with gleaming eyes. Both deities seem aware of your presence.

You awaken in the Sacred Grove, a serene sanctuary filled with mystical gardens and glowing sacred pools. The air shimmers with magic, and you hear soft pawsteps - perhaps the Nine-Tailed Fox or Bastet is nearby.

As you approach, the Nine-Tailed Fox emerges from behind a moonlit tree. Its white fur gleams, nine magnificent tails swaying gracefully. Its ancient, knowing eyes study you with curiosity and wisdom.

As you try to count, the fox's tails move mesmerizingly, almost hypnotically. Each tail seems to leave a trail of spiritual energy. One, two, three… The fox appears amused by your curiosity, sitting patiently.

The Nine-Tailed Fox tilts its head, eyes gleaming with ancient knowledge. A gentle voice echoes in your mind: “I guard wisdom and illusion, young one. In my tails lie centuries of knowledge… and perhaps a touch of mischief.”

The fox's mouth curves into a sly smile, and suddenly multiple versions of her appear and vanish around you, like a playful dance. A chiming laugh echoes through the grove. “Perhaps more than a touch…”

As you lean closer, the fox's illusions merge back into one. Her eyes are deep pools of gold, containing swirling galaxies of knowledge. There's something both ancient and playful in her gaze, like she's sharing a secret.

The fox gracefully rises, her size more apparent now - she's as large as a horse. Her white fur ripples with hidden symbols, and her tails create patterns of light in the air. Each movement seems to bend reality slightly.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes glimmer thoughtfully. Through subtle gestures, she indicates upward, toward Celestial Heights where Horus and Garuda dwell. She seems to suggest their wisdom would complement what you've learned.

You reach Celestial Heights through a Spirit Bridge. Horus, the majestic falcon-headed god, stands on a floating golden island. His crown gleams in the eternal sunlight, and his eyes hold the power of divine kingship.

There seems to be confusion - Yuki isn't present here. You're in Celestial Heights with Horus, the falcon-headed Egyptian god. His piercing eyes study you, waiting to hear why you've sought his divine presence.

“I am Horus, son of Osiris, ruler of the skies,” his powerful voice resonates. The falcon-headed god stands regally, his golden and blue plumage catching the eternal light. “Why do you seek me in these Celestial Heights?”

Horus makes a sound that might be a chuckle, his falcon eyes glinting with amusement. “Fewer than you'd think. Most mortals find the journey… challenging. Garuda and I enjoy our peaceful heights.”

“Ah…” Horus gestures to the skies where a massive eagle deity soars overhead, wingspan blocking the sun. Garuda descends, his divine form radiating power. “My fellow sky-ruler, mount of Vishnu, and eternal enemy of serpents.”

“Just us two guardians of the skies,” Horus replies. The golden platforms around you float serenely. “Though sometimes divine messengers like Hugin and Munin pass through on their way to the World Tree. We prefer… exclusive company.”

“The Sacred Grove? Interesting choice…” Horus seems amused but follows. However, upon reaching the mystical garden, the Nine-Tailed Fox is no longer there. Only shimmering pools and lingering magical traces remain.

Horus's eyes narrow thoughtfully. “The Nine-Tailed Fox is a master of illusion and movement. She could be anywhere - perhaps the Temple Sanctum, or maybe…” He pauses as fox footprints appear and disappear in golden light.

Horus raises his hand, and suddenly the air shimmers. The Nine-Tailed Fox materializes, looking rather amused. “Respect?” her voice echoes in your mind. “Or perhaps curiosity?” Both deities share a knowing look.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's tails swish playfully while Horus chuckles, his falcon head nodding. “Indeed,” her voice chimes, “true respect comes from the desire to understand. And understanding…” her eyes sparkle, “is quite an adventure.”

As you reach out, her fur feels like silk woven from starlight. The fox allows the touch, her tails gently swaying. Even Horus looks surprised - she rarely permits such contact. A warm, magical energy flows through your hand.

The fox leans into your touch, and suddenly images flash through your mind - ancient memories, forgotten wisdom. Horus watches intently as a gentle aura envelops you both. The fox's tails create a protective circle of light.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes glow with recognition of wisdom in your words. A scene materializes around you - falling leaves frozen in time, suspended in magical light. Memory and reality blend as autumn colors swirl eternally.

The Fox's eyes swirl hypnotically, and the air around you begins to spiral. Horus spreads his wings protectively as reality bends like a whirlpool of starlight. The Fox's tails create patterns that seem to pull at your consciousness.

The Fox's form becomes slightly translucent, embodying your words. Reality shimmers uncertainly around you - solid yet fluid, definite yet mysterious. Horus's feathers ruffle as the grove fills with dancing lights of unclear origin.

The Fox's ears twitch with delighted understanding. They seem to shift - sometimes physical, sometimes pure light, sometimes doorways to other realms. Horus watches, fascinated, as the boundary between symbol and reality blurs.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's form ripples with appreciation. Your Murakami-touched words seem to reshape reality itself - boundaries blur, metaphors become real. Even Horus appears entranced as everyday magic mingles with divine power.
