The six-tailed fox stood before the temple of Thea with a tranquil look on his face, his long white hair and tails swaying gently in the breeze. He was not surprised to find himself in this strange new land; certainly he hadn't been expecting it, but surprise was reserved for things conceived as outside of the realm of possibility. Nor did his stoic expression falter as he read the short letter that had been handed to him. Curious words, but perhaps not so strange; was not the ultimate goal of knowledge and wisdom to obtain omniscience, and was not omniscience reserved for the domain of gods? No, "surprised" definitely wasn't the right word for what he felt... A small serene smile crept across his face as he took in his surroundings.

It immediately became apparent that he was not alone here. Several other strangers stood near him in various levels of disbelief. He had never seen their attire before. He took in a deep breath of air through his nose; their scents were foreign. Were they even from they same world? Well, it seemed that where they were from mattered little, and he soon stopped pondering too deeply about what was happening. After all, the letter assured him that he would understand everything in time.
