I am Kurama. Former Goddess, current nature spirit. So the forests of the world should be my clear territory. Yet, that was not the case. If anything, I felt as a stranger in a strange land. Very disconcerting. Can't be helped. I just had to learn.

To that end, the first step was observation. No visual contact of course. Animals shy away from strangers. No, all that was initially possible was to sit still and quiet, and listen.

Silence. No birds, no insects. All was dead still. Of course it was. I was invading their domain.

I remained open to the universe, so to speak, but a lack of new input meant nothing really changed. Nothing to study. Yet

Gradually, sound returned to the world around me. By remaining nonthreatening, some of the forest wildlife was becoming more comfortable with my presence. Not enough to approach, but enough to return to going about their lives.

The first ones were the insects. Crickets. Cicadas. Something. Actually I don't know. They made buggy noises anyway. But not the buzzing kind.

Ants were next. Ants were always stupid, annoying blights on the world. No respect for personal space. One of the little bastards was crawling ON MY HAND. So I incinerated it. The sudden fwooshing noise spooked the other bugs back into silence though. Shame, though it can't be helped. Just when they were alllllmost charming.

Though eventually nature went back to doing what it does. Less one ant. It would not be mourned.

Right, well. Time to hunt.

I performed some intricate finger work to help get my magical energy reactor up and running.

Psychological trigger; blade cleaves through the sun. Psychological Trigger; Blade Cleaving The Sun. Accepted. Magical Energy Reactor, switch on. Magic Circuits, active.

I absorbed a large quatnity of Od from the World, mixed with the comparatively insignifigant spark of my own innate Prana. My Spirit Origin swelled with with the combined Mana, raising my body temperature.

Focused by action. Directed by intent. It was no miracle from the Age of Gods, but a minor jutsu could still be effective.

My mental reasoning sharpened and accelerated. Recall and pattern recognition improved. There were still holes relating to the role of the first Kurama, but that was irrelevant. What mattered was the improvement to my effective intelligence, though my actual knowledge was unchanged.

I stripped nude, and took the form of an exceptionally large fox. Watching carefully, stalking through the woodlands hunting for tracks or other signs of passage. For the moment, I was going to indulge my baser instincts and give into my bloodlust.

I was going to kill, with tooth and claw.
