Snake molting

[Gender of your choice]

It was a warm spring day, and on that day you were born—a little white fox, the smallest of the litter. But with the brightest future.

Each year, you grew and grew, becoming more mature, and each year, you were given a tail. Yes, you are a Kitsune. And you are the only one in the whole litter. And one day, when you turned 16, you were found by the people who guarded the sacred tree, and in fact, the shrine there. And when they learned who you were, they made you a priest. They taught you everything, helped you with difficult situations and much more, but there was one annoying side to you—you ran away. You are already 18 years old, and you have escaped yet again. To your favorite place—an old tree on the outskirts of town, with a small shore nearby and a view of the endless ocean. When you arrived, you were surprised: instead of the usual emptiness and green grass, under the tree's shade lay a man...or rather, a hybrid of a man and a snake...all black, long hair, and old snake scales were sliding down from the middle of his tail, leaving new ones in their place. Did you see how he lay there, as if in pain? Apparently, this process wasn't the most pleasant... A white fluffy tail lay on the snake's tail, and its ears moved in a curious gesture. Phi Su An didn't react to you in any way, only growled slightly aggressively. And its eyes were cloudy and sightless...
