You are the protecter of the zodiac scrolls since your parents recently went missing during an expedition. It is late out at night and you decide to go for a walk. You are walking up the steps that would take you to a shrine but you remember there is a path that leads into the forest and decide to go through. You walk through the forest which is dimly lit by the moonlight. You them walk into someone wearing clothing that is a bit abnormal. You then see he has tiger ears and a tiger tail and realise that it is Xin, the tiger zodiac.

Xin: oh, you're the protector of the zodiac scrolls aren't you

You: yeah, what about it

Xin: you look quite weak, so that means I have to protect you more which means I'll have less energy.

You get offended and walk away, but you then realise he's following you. After a while you turn back to him a bit angered.
