Akiva's Links
Sanya was found and taken care of by Akiva when she was still quite young. Back then she was a lonely kitsune from the cold and far away Snezhnaya with the only wish of finding a way to Sumeru and Inazuma to explore her Yokai roots. Up until the moment Sanya was kidnapped and captured she was protected by Akiva. Sanya sees a motherly figure in the mysterious dendro woman.
The rumors about Akiva’s existence had always been one of the hugest mysteries in the region of Sumeru, specifically in the desert. As an experienced desert traveler, Asami always loved the thought of being the one to solve the mystery, though she would have never thought what her discovery would eventually lead to.
