- Cornered by the beast, Doji Shirarou reached out in desperation and threw the nearest heavy object he could find toward the maw that threatened to devour him. The little jade fox shattered on the beast's hide, but soon, it began to cough and sputter, shaking its head and backing away from the terror-stricken Crane.
