welcome to Eldritch Academy
In a world of myths and mysteries, the pinnacle of the magical academies exists. Eldritch Academy offers education to all ages and species but specializes in the study and training of one's innate mystical capabilities, often called Eldritch Energies, Powers, or Unknowns, but more formally known as their Talent. However, tensions run high with the nations only holding a fragile peace as the Talents that rival the epitomes of technology change the balance of power.
With the more recent uprising of evil Shades and introduction of combat-oriented programs into Talent-focused schools, nations grow more aggressive towards one another. The demand for resources grows, and skirmishes at the border of Arka and Mistere become more frequent. Monsters run into the nations from the Wildes, terrorizing villages and cities. The need for trained or in-training Hunters and Guardians has never been more urgent.

Outside rain poured from the sky, lighting flashed all over the place and thunder roared in the distance. The day wasn’t suitable for most people to go outside, but there was no sunlight present, optimum conditions for a vampire to be outside in the middle of the day with an umbrella.
Small feet in bright pink sneakers shuffled through the large heavy wooden door that allowed access into the huge space inside. Without any wait, the scent of heavy duty cleaners and animal’s assaulted her nose. Being inside of this place was intimidating to the young girl, head ducked slightly and wings clamped to her back, tail wrapped around one leg. Didn’t they keep things in cages here? Would they one day cage her if she became dangerous like other Blood Devil’s happened to be.
“Welcome To Vineyard Pet Shelter! Are you looking to adopt today?” hearing the voice of the person behind the front desk, she slid herself further behind Yuuki some degree of fear within her. Whenever Askel had gotten her some pet? It had been a rabbit, harmless. Vineyard didn’t carry rabbits, instead they specialized in predatory sorts of pets. Even if having a carnivorous pet suited her better as it could possibly even help keep her safe; Nyx couldn’t help be scared of messing up since she’d never cared for one before. “Is this really alright? I want a pet, but what if I hurt it and don’t know?” her voice was small at the moment, once more looking up at the man to see if this was really the best idea. "Sir, if your daughter is a bit rougher, we have several animals on final row that may be suited to her. Final Row adoption candidates are very sturdy,good at defending themselves, many turn into great pets. Final Row often contains the best pets for Blood Devil's anyway. That's what your girl is right? I have to admit I'm surprised to see one being raised by one not of their kind." Considering how she hid behind Yuuki and the fact he brought her pretty much all of the food she consumed? Nyx had never been bothered by the instances were someone said he was her paternal figure or outright mistook the vampire for her father uncaring of his apparent age since he was after-all a vampire. Honestly, Yuuki made a partner father than Askel ever had.

Ozaki pat her head as she expressed worry about killing her pet, and was about to speak before the other man did.
The primary reason the pet shop owner was able to get the entire schpeal out was because Ozaki was too flustered to speak upon being called Nyx’s father. And she wasn’t saying he wasn’t. Gosh. That was… That was the best thing ever. He’d always wanted to be a dad. But with his luck with the ladies he hadn’t really thought it’d ever be possible. He wasn’t exactly a suave man after all. Any time he felt a shit ton of pressure he’d start stuttering like an idiot, and he was perpetually stuck in a teenager’s body.
He wasn’t even the variant of vampire that would eventually age, just slowly. Nope. This was it. Forever. At least until he was inevitably killed by something or another. “I… Aah… Y-yah. She’s a blood devil. You’ve got pets that are good for them?” There was a focus on having that? What kind of pet would that even be? “What’s that mean? Other than… Like. Strong and durable.”
Did that mean it would playfight back with her?

Boy had it been bloody. The tanuki, loitering about the city without a word, had been picked up by rather strong intelligent beings that seemed to mistake her for a common monster. She had fought back but ultimately found herself too weak, with no real powers besides her tricks to help her. Those tricks never lasted long, as once cage, a raccoon dog yokai typically lost all access to their shapeshifting and illusory abilities. That, and it became harder to talk. Of course, once she was in the pound, there were other animals and canid monsters kept with her.
To prove a point, she made quick work of them. Not only were they vermin, but they were also quick to harass the bakedanuki. Even if she did not have the power or strength she used to, she could still fight strategically, and that was just what she did. Besides, the ayakashi had been craving blood and fresh meat, not trash and human scraps. Because of her bloody handywork, the tanuki had been put in her own enclosure and put on what was more or less death row. She was to be “humanely” killed for her actions. Thankfully. She was tired of this world that was basically hell, but suicide was just too painful for her to bother with.
Tired and patiently awaiting her impending doom, Izayuki laid down stretched out on the concrete floor of the pound, paws in front of her and muzzle rested in between them.

Nyx had no reason to connect them on Yuuki being her father because with the way she lived everyday he might as well actually be her father! The more she was cared for by Dawn and Ozaki the young girl increasingly realized that if Askel had ever cared for her it had been very little, leaving him motive for adopting her entirely blank. "You could say it that way." the answer given to them on if a pet was good for a Blood Devil was vague at best. Clearly, the shop keeper didn't want to just say they adopted out animals whom they would never give to anyone else to Blood Devil's if they happened to come in as it was good as euthanizing them anyway. "Why don't you go back and see for yourself? She can adopt any of the one's with a red tag hung on the cage." it wasn't as if they had a life past today anyway, so even if they survived into the next morning before being owned by a blood devil did them in, the pound did its job.
Nyx didn't see any of the context if it was even there to detect, moving away from Yuuki so she could quickly move into the kennels. Having to smell this place for an extended period of time? Was not her favorite day to spend the day she wanted to take her new pet on a walk instead of being in this place. Upon making her way back she found very few enclosures had red tags on them, until she made her way all the way to the back row of kennels which were spaced far from each other, many having several extra locks. Why were these creatures tagged this way, Nyx didn't realize the words on the tag were the time they were being put down and the reason for.
"2:30... That's only half an hour away, why do they have a time on your cage? You're so small." the words were spoken as she investigated the red tag hung on the cage of a gorgeous yet depressed looking silver dog who was fairly small even compared to her. Crouching down the girl tilted her head looking at the beast whose pelt looked woven from dull stars, feeling a twinge of something familiar in a skip beat of her heart. "I'm Nyx Chaotica." looking at this small dog she felt as if she had seen it before and while she felt slightly irate the overall sensation was not a bad one. "So, you want to get out of here girl?" her voice was hushed compared to the insane noise of dogs barking hoping to be adopted or just generally barking for other reasons. Why out of all of them was she drawn to the one just laying here? The cage next door had a dog holding it's tail and spinning in circles, but her eyes couldn't remove themselves from this one. "I'll get you a little dog bed, a nice collar, walk you, feed you, and I'll even let you pick out your toys. Doesn't that sound better than living in this cage?" gentle smile was worn on her face, large blue optics enthralled by the animal in front of her.
Of course, than the worker came back, jumping several steps when they saw exactly which red tag the young blood devil had become interested in. "Oh dear, that could be a problem. You should know, she killed all the other dogs we originally kept with her almost immediately after being brought in off the streets." the worker spoke this looking at Yuuki instead of Nyx who couldn't take her eyes off the silver dog.

“Umm… That’s a tanuki.” Ozaki muttered, stepping closer to the tanuki’s cage. He got closer, but not close enough to scratch. He was dubious that this would be a safe pet to have. But Nyx seemed so enthralled by her. He knew a little bit about tanuki’s himself. There were a fair portion of tanuki’s that were known for having magical powers, and it was definitally worth while to educate oneself on the mystical creatures of one’s world. You never knew when you might run into one. Like… On death row of the pound.
It was a little surprising that this one wasn’t stuck in hibernation. Usually the species hibernated during winter. Though perhaps it was because it warm enough that it didn't need it. Perhaps Ozaki was just looking for things to find odd about a silver tanuki on death row.
“If you put her in the same cage as dogs its almost not a surprise. Not that I’m saying you’re bad at your job but… I’m just saying normally tanukis only associate with their family, or mates, or their cubs. Putting her in a cage with dogs probably made her territorial and she… Like… Killed them because of that. Again. Not saying you’re bad at your job. I’m just saying it wasn’t a good idea.” He was stammering a bit as he spoke, realizing he had accidentally insulted the salesman. Speaking of not good ideas, Ozaki stuck his finger slowly inside the cage to gauge the tanuki’s reaction. “Lets see how good she is with hum- I mean… Aahh… V… Human… oids.”
Ozaki wasn’t human. If he were he’d be much more wary about doing something like this. But as it was, even if he got his finger bit off it’d grow back. And then he’d have his answer, likely a better one than the pet shop owner could give. Though… If the tanuki bit in this state he almost wouldn’t blame her. But he would still hesitate on the idea of making her Nyx’s pet.
