The Fox Who Served Fools - Episode 5

Sudden storm and crackling lightning threaten Noxen, and a figure claims only by reaching the High Altar and shedding blood can the crisis be stopped. The supposed Great Elder insists he’s the city's savior, but guards notice fox ears on the claimant. The woman—her powers weakened—uses her essence to show a true form and pleads to be released. Accused of impersonating the immortal Elder, officials condemn her as a vixen and order a branding in the Emperor’s name. As the guards move forward, someone shouts "Stop!" and calls "Lucia?" —her fate hangs unresolved.
