Week 9 Reading A Fox Fire

I've always heard tales of other foxes stealing another's ball of energy, a collection of spirit energy that the fox developed over hundreds of years.

Everyone knew of the legends of the Goblin, though many chose to write it off as a myth. One day there was a young Nun who many considered to be beautiful. She was visiting different churches in the area. She wished to travel to all nearby churches on foot before making the pilgrimage to The Vatican.
