Official Moonbeast: Kitsune Moon at Birth: Waning Gibbous

A very wise kitsune who has started his own pack of dragons afflicted with The Curse. He has been around for decades, learning how to work with his affliction. He adopted Margiad and Kalyn when they were only pups, and considers them both as sons. He is Rikona's mate, drawn to her gentle disposition.


The world is beginning to stir.

Sunlight shines through cracks between thick branches, the forest outskirts of the Starwood Strand where light can still be seen basks in the rays, appearing dusk despite it still being morning. A dragon with sharp, fox-like features sits beneath a cluster in the canopy of trees, his eyes closed as he takes a few steady, deep breaths.

The day has barely begun. Dragons and wildlife of all sorts are still waking from their night of peaceful slumber, and yet despite this, he can still feel it- the power of the full moon shooting through his veins. A low buzz of electricity just beneath the skin. It's a feeling he is quite familiar with- an old, bittersweet friend. He takes another deep breath, indulging in the feeling for a moment before pulling back.

The rustle of leaves a few feet away is what draws him from his thoughts, his eyes opening at the sound. He tracks it down to find Rikona, his mate, emerging from the brush, a warm feeling settling within his chest at the sight. A stray sunbeam catches her golden pelt, her striking blue eyes filled with the same warmth as she approachs.

"Good morning, my dearest Hisao." She says as she comes to a stop before him, her melodic voice a welcomed break to the silence. "I hope you do not mind me interrupting."

"You are never a disruption to me, my love." Hisao replies, leaning forward and pressing his head against hers in greeting. Rikona hums as their foreheads bump together affectionately, remaining that way for a few moments before stepping back to sit beside him.

"The full moon is tonight." She says as she comes to rest, her head tilted up to look toward the canopy of trees. Hisao can't help but take a moment to admire her, a smile coming to him as she turns to catch him staring, her own enough to cause his heart to skip a beat. Even after years of being together, he still can feel the flutter of butterflies within his stomach when she turns his way. A slight hint of amusement tinges her words as she speaks again. "I can feel it's pull, just as I can feel your stare."

"I can't help it. You're just too beautiful."
