eternal Akai ito
A myth woven with dreams, sacrifice, and a love that defies even the gods.
Long ago, in the divine realm where spirits dance among stars and the breath of gods shapes worlds, two ancient beings found each other—not through power or purpose, but through love.
Zenko, the majestic nine-tailed fox, was no ordinary kitsune. Feared and revered, he was a guardian spirit with eyes like silver storms and a heart hidden beneath layers of cold mystery. Only one soul could see through his mask—Shirayume, the Baku, a gentle and pure dream-eater whose presence was as serene as moonlight over snow. She was the whisper of peace in a chaotic world, and he was her eternal flame.
Together, they were complete.
But even in the heavens, love can become a curse.
Zenko’s love, deep and wild, turned desperate. He sought to protect Shirayume from every danger, even those not yet written by fate. His possessiveness clouded judgment, and in his reckless defiance of celestial law, the gods passed judgment. Stripped of power and memory, Zenko was cast down to the mortal world—reborn as a human, unaware of the spirit he once was, but burdened by an aching emptiness he couldn’t explain.
Shirayume, devastated by the cruel separation, made her own sacrifice. Forsaking her divinity, she too chose reincarnation—her only wish: to find him again, even if neither remembered who they once were.
Centuries passed.
In modern-day Japan, two strangers brush past one another on a busy road. He is haunted by fragments of forgotten dreams—faces in the mist, a name that slips away each time he wakes. She feels an echo in her soul every time he is near. Something ancient stirs. Something inevitable.
As dreams begin to bleed into waking life, they are drawn together by an invisible thread. And as they begin to uncover the mystery of who they are and what they once meant to each other, forces beyond their control begin to move. Not all spirits want their love to return. Some secrets are better left buried.
Yet destiny does not forget.
In a world where past lives clash with present choices, Eternal Threads: Shirayume and the Kitsune is a haunting tale of reincarnation, divine punishment, pure devotion, and a love that spans eternity.
