Kitsune Soul
The storekeeper smiles “It seems like you have a kitsune soul.”
“Kitsune?” you ask.
“Magical multi-tailed fox. The costume has awakened it. Now as for payment” he states.
“I don’t have much but I need this” you say surprising yourself with the statement.
“Of course you do, all of you awakened souls don’t want to go back to sleeping. And you have a lot more than you think. Imagine deep down inside you is a well. Drop a bucket into it and lift the water up. It may help if you close your eyes”
You follow his instructions and eventually after many attempts are able to do so. The water flows down your arms and collects into a ball. You open your eyes to see the ball floating in mid-air.
“Did I do that?” you ask.
“Yes you did” The store-keeper says collecting it into a box. “That is almost pure magic, very useful to someone like me. Would you like to stay and work off your debt? I can also provide you with a illusion device to keep your form secret.”
