Darkness washed over her like a dark, thick wave, pulling her away from reality. Sounds subsided, only becoming a slight blur. The wave cradled her, taking her farther and farther away, until she was no longer aware of her surroundings.

Suddenly, her dark purple eyes fluttered open, she was standing in a white expanse of nothingness. Literally. Nothing but white. It made her feel dizzy, and disorientated, her mind not able to comprehend what was actually going on. She shook her head, blinking slowly, taking deep breaths. She then opened them once again, being met with a new sight. The whiteness had been broken by a thick layer of fog. Through the fog was a dark silhouette of a gigantic nine tailed fox, their gold eyes glowing brightly. It was bigger than any building, any mountain. It was majestic in a way, with the silhouette of it's huge, twisting antlers upon it's head. Just by being in front the great beast, she could feel the deep, surging power, radiating off of it.

She knew exactly who this was. She was the Great Fox God, the creator of everything. The creator of the other six Gods, the creator of the other Gods, the creator all universes and worlds that existed. This God was the most powerful, capable of doing anything they pleased. They didn't have a real gender, but did have the echoey voice of a great, powerful, wise woman, so many referred to the God as "she". She was worshipped more than any other God, other Gods worshipped her. Humans had forgotten about their true creator, and went to worshipping false Gods and Goddesses, but it was vital that the young Demons and Angels were taught about her, and were brought up to respect and worship her, but even then, some did not believe.

Lupa was one of them. She didn't believe in The Great Fox God.

Lupa slightly stumbled back, gasping loudly at the presence of the God. She felt tiny and insignificant underneath the God's glowing eyes.

"Lupa Astris Felina...." The God said, her voice echoing throughout the expanse of nothingness. Lupa stayed silent, her voice caught in her throat.

"Your throat slit by your own blood... Now you lay lifeless in the pouring rain, her tears streaming down her face as she grieves for her pain that she rided from the world..." She purred, gold eyes narrowed, tails swishing side to side. Lupa knew what she spoke of. Her sister had slit her throat with a blade tipped with poison. She had hurt her, broke her down so she was hysterically crying, beating her with lies... Things Lupa knew that were untrue, but said only to hurt her. In her eyes, Kira was her father's murder. She had taken her father's life. She deserved to pay.

"Why mess with such power, you ignorant, heartless fool?" The God suddenly snarled, making Lupa flinch.

"She deserves the pain. She deserves to pay."

"For what? Being born? Did she ask to be the spawn of her mother's unloyal actions? Did she?!"

Lupa boldly met the God's fiery gaze, even though she truly didn't have an answer to her question. Did her sister truly deserve the pain she inflicted upon her?

"You see she already has enough problems, along with the prophecy placed upon her. Regardless, you harm her. You are selfish."

Lupa slightly stepped back, glaring up at the God. "The prophecy.... God damn it... That's all everyone talks about! Kira and her damn prophecy! Are these worlds even worth saving!? They are all falling to ruin anyway!" she snarled, clenching her fists.

Suddenly, the great God's eyes began to glow brightly, flames sparking out her eyes. She slammed her paw to the ground, seeming to shake all the universes that existed. Lupa fell down, small cracks broke through the white expanse, and now she could see sparkling darkness through the cracks.

"You idiotic bastard!" The God snarled, tails swishing back and forth angrily, seeming to slightly clear the fog around her, but her real appearance was still hidden.

The Fox God then stood, eyes turning to a shade of dark red, snorting, smoke coming out her nostrils. "You only think of yourself! You take your pain out on your sister! You turn your back in your family! You betray them every time you speak to Yang!" The Fox God howled, slamming another paw to the ground, the cracks getting bigger. Lupa backed away, staring up at the angered God.

"Lupa you shall be punished for what you have done."

Lupa's eyes widened and she stifled a gasp. "W-wait.... Why?"

"Don't play innocent..." She hissed, digging her claws into the ground.

Lupa backed away, almost stepping through one of the cracks in the white void.

Suddenly, Lupa felt herself being pulled away from the white expanse. The Fox God's eyes widened in alarm. She was about to leap forward, snatching Lupa back, but she was gone too quickly.

Pain pulsed through her body, and slowly, she opened her bright purple eyes. Rain soaked her completely, as she laid on the ground. Her vision was blurred.

"W-what happened?" She whispered weakly, blinking slowly.

Kira wrapped her arms around her older sister. "I'm sorry...Please forgive me..."
