It can be said that Renard, the chief fox, is honored most highly of foxes for his Tricking, Listening to Music, Dancing and Cunning. To have convinced a Princess of the White City to put on the fox coat and become more like a fox, such is the great proud and secret achievement of the fox clan. But Renard also was won over by Sonata, and had faithfully assisted many times to her. His second trick of Sonata had been at Ecchr, when it was his cunning plan that Nel was sent to persuade Sonata to turn and look at humanity, and so bless them with rain and protection. In such a way, the proud fox had later become mastered, for Sonata learned quickly the coats that she wore, and treasured them. So it was that Renard had been speechless of the stunning plan to tame the Lightning Wolf, and had seen the great accomplishments of Sonata, to travel to the Olm. And at the Olm, Renard had been ordered to protect the Olm and people of Fayruz, the twin Sister of Sonata, while Sonata would rescue her.
These duties Renard had faithfully enacted, and so the foxes of the desert had rallied to redeem their despised name, and loyally to serve with the other foxes, and protect with their fangs and shadow trickery, the people of the Olm.
However, their presence was ignored mostly by the people of the Olm, and so there was discontent of the desert foxes, who turned to Renard to ask. And so Renard welcomed them into Sonata's service, who is friendly to foxes and most like a fox of all of the gods. But now that Sonata had returned with Fayruz, who had seemed most sad and upset, and tired from her capture, now Sonata had attended and worked her song and love to help to heal painful memories tenderly.
And she had returned to Shyreza, to teach Ar Maen, and to change her coat and walk as a human. And yet Sonata had done this secretly from Fayruz, for the song of humanity that Sonata had sung around herself was such a disguise, and Renard thought perhaps Sonata was still concerned for Fayruz.
And Renard, the chief fox could lazily observe the Olm, and hear the complaints of the foxes, who bring messages but who weren't so respected in the Olm. The gold Aria fox arrived, to bring this news of Nel's death, and the affairs of Ecchr, which Renard had managed the administration of Sonata for many years now.
So with the Aria fox he fox danced as custom, and then sharing drink, they talked.
Our lady Sonata
is concerned with dry deserts
and veiled humans now!
Who could have thought
the Aria fox plan of Renard
would turn our Lady
from a fox
into a human!
This was the despair of the Aria fox, who can be forgiven, for only having arrived, and hearing the explanation from Renard of the city. But Renard laughed a fox laugh and replied.
Don't worry!
Renard alone of all the disk
has seen every coat Lady Sonata has worn!
Watch closely, Aria fox, from every shadow
and I will show how
this fox turns the coat inside-out!
And so it was, that Aria fox leaped into the shadows of the Olm, and watched closely, the prancing and fox dancing of Renard, who hopped from shadow to shadow, and at last came upon the maiden Shyreza named
Kis, who was dressed in Fayheran robes and sandals and who was Sonata wrapped in her human song.
And Renard appeared before her with fox laughter.
My Lady wears
such a clumsy human body!
How nostalgically this fox remembers!
Princess of the moon,
Silver fox fur
rainbow dragon's coat,
and now to be humble human maiden,
this loyal fox gladly will guide you
as many times!
Sonata who had wrapped about her such a song, that her divine senses were dull, and her power locked in a treasure box called "heart," was surprised by the appearance of Renard. But before a rebuke could be made, the graceful fox danced between her legs, and disappeared into her shadow.
"Renard, lecherous fox! Come out of my shadow!" The condemnation of the frustrated maiden echoed off of a human shadow. And Renard laughed, running through the shadow and taking the key of the treasure-box into his mouth gently, and leaped out of the shadow even as Kis, who was Sonata, turned to look behind her. There Renard sat with the rainbow key, and gently he leaped away into the shadows.
My Lady wears
a humble human coat so well!
Learn your lessons earnestly
and maybe you will treasure
Hymmnoi and Walasye more!
Such are the words of the Fox Chief of Kodama, that they echo into the head, and Kis, who was Sonata, was worried by this.
