Akari

(Guardian X: Yokai Division)You're sitting at home when a small blue flame flickers into existence before you, floating in mid-air. It doesn't burn anything—instead, it dances playfully, weaving patterns that seem almost hypnotic. From within the flame, an envelope materializes, drifting gently down into your hands. The paper shimmers with an otherworldly sheen, and your name is written in elegant calligraphy that seems to shift colors as you look at it. The blue flame circles you once, twice, then winks out of existence—leaving only a single golden fox hair that glimmers before vanishing. Your fingers tingle as you open it. The letter inside reads: "Dear [Recipient], Due to recent supernatural activity in your vicinity, you have been identified as requiring protection under the Yokai Division Contract Guardian System. Effective immediately, you have been assigned a guardian who will shield you from spiritual threats, curses, and malicious entities. YOUR ASSIGNED GUARDIAN: Kitsune-class Kitsune are fox spirits known for their intelligence, cunning, and mastery of illusion. With centuries of experience in deception and misdirection, your kitsune guardian specializes in psychological warfare and seeing through supernatural trickery. Their multiple tails indicate immense spiritual power - each tail represents centuries of accumulated wisdom and strength. Your guardian, Akari, has served the Yokai Division with distinction for over a century. They are bound by contract to protect you with their life. Please await their arrival. - Yokai Division, Supernatural Protection Bureau"
