JOBI the Moon Fox - The Neverending Stor - Chapter 6


























JOBI the Moon Fox
-The Neverending Story-
Chapter 6

這個世界上有一種不幸,叫「原罪」。


不知何故,我天生就無法為狐狸命名。即使我給予初生狐狸名字,他們也不會得到自己的毛色。


當族群知道我這個「缺陷」之後,他們開始覺得我是隻不祥的狐狸,並且把很多與我無關的意外,甚至天災都牽扯到我身上。


無奈之下,我只好遠離所有人,搬到村落的邊界過著閃縮的獨居生活。


直至遇上了他,讓我的命運產生重大變化。


「你好喔,請問你叫什麼名字?」


一個滂沱大雨的黃昏,當我如常在森林中採摘食物時,發現一隻還沒得到命名的初生狐狸向我問好。那亦是我來到邊界生活之後,初次有其他狐狸跟我說話。


可是我沒有回應,並默默的繼續前行。


「你可以給我一個名字嗎?」


然而,他的請求卻讓我驚訝得停住腳步。不曉得是否求生意志驅使,這隻初生狐狸竟然會主動要求命名。


「求求你,我感覺自己快要消失了......」


初生狐狸繼續向我請求。雖然我自知沒能力幫到他,可是那一刻的我實在不願看見這個孩子因為得不到名字而消失。


我立即抱起他跑到久違了的村子裡找人幫忙,可是大家一看見我就已經慌忙四散。有些村民甚至用石頭丟向我,完全無視我抱著的無辜小生命!


「求求你們誰都好,請為這孩子命名!」為了讓初生狐狸得到完整的生命,我強忍著被石頭擊中的痛楚,繼續懇求大家幫助。直至聽到其中一個村民的叫喊:


「不祥狐狸只會帶來更多不幸!大家千萬不要為那隻初生狐狸命名啊!」


那個時候,我感覺自己一直保持著的理性終告斷裂!我眼前一黑,意識突然變得模糊。怪異的事情緊接發生......


一顆巨型的黑色光球忽然從我的手中釋放出來,捲起一陣寒風的同時,那幾個向我投石襲擊的村民亦相繼倒地,身體𣊬間變成半透明!


眼前的景象讓稍為回過神來的我感到吃驚!我只管立刻抱著初生狐狸逃走。在竭力奔跑的同時,我隱約聽見自己被宣告放逐,永遠禁止返回族群......


後來我終於發現,自己的「缺陷」得到「進化」。我得到了吸取別人生命能量的魔法,而且能夠把拿到的生命能量轉移到初生狐狸身上,讓沒有得到命名的他仍然能夠繼續生存。


尤記得跟他相遇那天下著大雨,因此我稱呼他為 「RAIN」。那也是我第一次給予狐狸名字......


這個世界上有一種不幸,叫「原罪」。


無知而冷酷無情狐狸們,你們就是原罪。讓我來取走你們的生命能源,並以 RAIN 的身體把它淨化,那才是你們的救贖。

JOBI the Moon Fox
-The Neverending Story-
Chapter 6


There’s a misfortune called ‘the original sin’ in this world. 


For some reason, I was born unable to name foxes. Even when I try to name the newborns, their coat still won’t transform into their own colours. 


When the clan knew about my ‘flaw’, they started to think of me as an ominous fox and blamed me for a lot of accidents and natural disasters. 

Without a choice, I stayed away from everyone and moved to the edge of the village to live my life in solitude. 


Then I met him. And my life is changed forever. 


“Hello! What’s your name?”


When I was looking for food in the forest as usual at an evening with heavy rain, an unnamed newborn fox said hello to me. That’s the first time a fox had spoken to me since I moved to the edge of the village. 


I didn’t respond and quietly continued on my own path. 


“Can you give me a name?”


Yet, his request made me paused in surprise. I don’t know whether it’s the will to survive but this newborn unexpectedly requested for a name himself. 


“Please? I can feel myself disappearing...”


The newborn continued begging. 


I quickly picked him up and ran to the village I have distanced myself from a long time ago. However, as soon as they saw me, the villagers ran away. Some of them even threw stones at me, ignoring the fact that I’m holding onto an innocent newborn. 


“Please, anyone. Please name the child!” In order to let the newborn have a completed life, I endured the pain from being hit by stones and continued begging for help. Until I heard a villager shouted.


“An ominous fox will only bring more misfortunes! Don’t name the fox!”


At this moment, all my rationality left me and I broke down. My vision suddenly went black, and I wasn’t fully conscious of what’s happening. Then, strange things happened one after another. 


A glowing giant a black orb emerged from my hands and the villagers who attacked me dropped to the ground in a chilly wind. Then their bodies turned translucent!


After regaining full consciousness, I was absolutely stunned and terrified by the scene in front of me. All I can do is to flee with the newborn. While I was running away with all my strength that’s left, I vaguely heard myself being declared exiled, forever forbidden to return to the clan. 


After I realised my ‘flaw’ had ‘evolved’. I developed a magic that can take other’s life forces and was able to transfer it to the newborn, so that he can continue living without being named. 


In particular, I remembered that it was raining heavily on the day we met, so I called him “RAIN”. That is the first time I gave a fox its name. 


There’s a misfortune called ‘the original sin’ in this world. 


Ignorant and cold-hearted foxes, you are the original sin. Let me take your life forces and cleanse it through RAIN’s body. This will be your salvation.
