Trixie yawned as she neared the outskirts of the capital of Equestria. Her ethereal appearance masked her aproach, but she rarely cared, flashing her image to young fillies that passed by. Their laughter and wonder at the sudden visitor always warmed her heart, though she wished that she could show it to everyone. Almost getting exorcised though was an experience she only had to have happen to her once before she decided to not be too careless.
One of her pointed ears twitched and she looked up before drifting into a small apartment complex. Within was a purple mare, a bottle in one hoof while being passed out on the floor. Trixie sighed, but another twitch of her ears made her smile. Truly one worthy of a gift from the Great and Wondrous, Trixie!
She pretended to trot along the floor as her fox nose twitched. After almost four years of being in the field, doing work that only the best of kitsune were entrusted with, Trixie had become accustomed to the stench of pain and sorrow, not that that fact made her happy. She always followed the scent though, and when she found its source, like this stupid drunkard, she would find the one most affected by it, like the little pink filly in front of her, and bestow upon them gifts.
The first was a simple blessing of luck, one all kitsune gave out. The next was that of warmth and care, to make sure their health would stay up. The last one was admittedly for Trixie though. This one was that she would look into the filly’s dreams, hoping to say hi and give them a friend to call upon when they needed her the most. Within though, she found something far more horrifying than an alcoholic.
Berry Pinch had been reliving the day when another spirit had come and seen her. Only, it wasn’t Trixie. Instead, it was a purple mare with a black cloak around her. The mare could control ice, be intangible, and had massive amounts of magical potential, at least in Berry Pinch’s eyes. To Trixie’s nose, the imprint left by the thing’s memory was that of horror, cold, and death, all that a kitsune swore to fight. Berry Pinch had been seen by a wraith, and now Trixie had a mission.
Finding her goal though, stumped her for a few moments. She had no idea where to begin searching. Sure, the dream had been in Canterlot, but it could have been weeks ago, and the monster may have long ago left. Still, it wouldn’t hurt to check. Trixie’s eyes glowed as her magic started up, and slowly a pulse of energy left her, growing faster and faster as it searched. A shiver ran through Trixie as the spell picked up the slightest traces of evil and cold, and it came directly from the castle. Ha! Trixie will be able to cleanup such a whelp almost instantly.
Trixie floated towards the castle, soon slipping through the walls and into the library where the cloaked menace sat, reading, most likely something foul and corrupt. Wait, is that– Every hair on her body stood on edge as she took in the dracolich between her hooves and wondered why in Equestria her magic didn’t pick up that! She shook the surprise away. It must already be completely passed on, or simply too weak.
She took in a deep breath, and gathered as much of her magic as she thought she could do safely. Her nose twitched as the white ball of fire grew, and then she threw it. The fireball collided with Twilight’s side, washing both monstrosities’ bodies over with fox fire. When the smoke cleared though, the mare was simply turning the page to her book.
What? I-is she ignoring me?
The barrage that soon came after had no mercy or subtlety behind it. It was simply fireballs and light spells, as fast, and as ferocious as Trixie could manage. No matter what she threw at her though, the wraith simply stayed put. With a final yell and the almost the last of her magic, she threw one last fireball, the only one directed straight towards the wraith’s face, instead of the body.
It collided against and incinerated the book.
Twilight looked up, finally noticing that it wasn’t simply the summer night making her have seemingly hot flashes. Her eyes narrowed and her body glowed. “I was reading Winnie the Pooh to my son.”
Trixie’s eyes went wide. “What? The Great and Wondrous Trixie knows most things, one of them being that a pony can’t have a dragon for a child. Now that I have your full attention though–“
“He was enjoying it. Apologize.”
Trixie blinked a few times in disbelief. “I will not! You two are vile creatures and I am here to rid Equestria of you before you can do any more damage.”
It was Twilight’s turn to blink a few times before sighing and putting her hooves around Spike. “Don’t listen to the crazy pony Spike. She lost her mind a long time ago.”
“Oh you bi-“
Trixie could have left the prison of ice, or as Twilight called it, the censor cage, at anytime, but instead, she stayed there. A second pulse of her magic sensed almost no evil, and definitely no malice, even from the monsters directly in front of her. It made no sense, and as much as it infuriated Trixie not to be able to understand, she could not deny her curiosity was piqued.
This curiosity started to die as the energy spent on her earlier spells caught up with her. Her mind started to wander, thinking of such things like how the creatures might hide their evil, how the dracolich breathed, and how the wraith’s ear might taste. Her tongue ran over her lips as her imagination had her petting the cute purple thing, growing close to her and– Wow, Trixie is far too tired for this. Recon will have to wait for another time. She took one more glance and nodded to herself. But Trixie will most definitely not be letting this… mare, out of her sight.
and of course now that I've already found about the new chapter AND have read it, I get the update notice
I think I like this Trixie
Trixie seems rather sure of herself, and that Twilight is evil for being what she is, despite almost being exorcised for what was probably based on the same flawed reasoning.
Wouldn't there be wards and alarm charms for fire in the royal library? I don't think Celestia will be very happy to learn about an attempted murder in her own home, especially if Winnie the Pooh wasn't the only collateral from all those fireballs (just imagine what the carpet looks like now!)
Awesome story! Hope to read more from it.
Trixune is best fox
Well at this rate Cantorlot castle is going to get a helluva reputation wraith's, living Draco lich's , and now kitsunes whats next?
plus how strong is twilight?
i mean dam...
5980911 You forgot to include, 'frequented by Cthulu.'
5980914 Quit right sorry about that.

*find hyper kitsune trixie

... really should have seen this coming.
5980968 I probably have the controversial opinion, especially since if you look into my anthro work you'll notice I like large chests, but shit like that is anything but sexy. It just doesn't look good when they are that disproportioned.
5980911
Given she's probably close to 700 years old, and was freezing the castle plumbing just by existing, I'd say she's fairly powerful. Though it may also be a function of Trixie actually being weaker than her ego would suggest; combining the two can end with results like this one.
5980914 There needs to be one pony who has to point out all the flaws in the arguments! THERE HAS TO BE ONE!
A STRAIGHT PONY!
5981001 What do you mean?
the staff are probably just ignoring the weirdness of the castle at this point.
as long as they don't cause to much trouble anyway.
some are probably thinking celestia is gathering a dark army for some purpose
a dark magic user, dracolich, wraith, kitsune.
when nightmare returns some probably think it's celestia she went insane!
5981003 Like they go on an adventure and something dangerous happens, one pony has an over the top reaction and says, "WE ALMOST DIED!"
Another pony points out the flaws in his argument,"How did we almost die? That rock just fell down next to us."
Or something like that.
Searched for kitsune trixie mlp and found this

5981011 lol the Nightmare thinking Celestia went insane when she comes back due them multitude of monsters roaming the castle.
When NMM comes back, just have her end up living with the rest of the monsters, and if you want, figure out some logical way of having Luna in the story too, relatively speaking of course. I mean, you can always have Pinkie pop up and say, "She's here to progress the story."
I demand a Trixune-picture right now!
Why, you ask? Because it adds the fluff of a kitsune to freaking Trixie.
There isn´t much that could top the cuteness of that.
5980982 Also Kinda looks painful, if you think bout how tight the mounds are getting squished.
can we have celestia/sunset or both trotting in on twaith curled up on Cthulus lap while hes reading a book to her or they are looking into eachothers eyes with something more than friendship before they notice the intrusion and scatter about while trying to explain the situation
"Piqued", actually. Well, unless she's reached maximum curiosity, I guess?
I now have this image of Spike riding an Ursa Minor, who is wearing Winnie the Pooh's shirt, chasing Trixie as revenge for ruining story time stuck in my head.
5981011 This! This needs to be a thing!
5941916 Did you start before the desc said specifically that Twilight is an adult? If there was a before, that is.
Kitsune Trixie! She must be so cute with a little fox nose and tail. :pinkiesmile
Ahem it seems we have another challenger! Fight the good fight Sunset! Don't let Trixune or Shining Armor win!
"with a back cloak around her."
Should be "black"?
so if Trixie had actually managed to kill Twilight would she have a pissed off Cthulhu on her tail?
5982033 It was recently added after I rage quited from about the fifth time I clarified her age in the comments, and the author's note stating she was an adult came before the addition to the description.
Flutterbat?
5982274 *Slams head against a desk* God damned typos! This is what happens when you're normally editing these at like 10 at night.
Mmmmmm have to wonder what Trixie would think of poker night?
I like this!
Idea: Twaith reads a horror story and gets offended at the things the book gets wrong. She decides to demonstrate exactly how the monster would win.
A random guardspony quits his job to pursue his newfound wish: The creation of an amnesia spell.
I would like to see a chapter with the castle staff talking about everything that has happened
I approve this chapter
Note to self: Change name and picture when you(I) have the chance)
5980911
Before you know it someone will be making a phone call to a certain italian plumber.
How many tails does Trixie have.
Eh, I don't like this Trixie. This character has pretty much nothing in common with Trixie, there doesn't seem to be a reason for this random kitsune, whatever the hell that is, to be Trixie, or for Trixie to be this. I can get behind Twaith of course, as that's the story's pitch (with Sunset), but this is such a pointless deviation from canon... into something that I really don't care about and would rather not have. I was expecting Sunset and Twaith's interactions with other characters who are unchanged, and somehow them participating in the canon's events, but this randomly hugely different Trixie is a bad sign. I can't even decide if I should keep reading. Is it gonna keep deviating more and more like this? Or is it limited to Trixie?
6066737 ... You don't know what a Kitsune is... Allow me to enlighten you, a Kitsune is a nine tailed, very magical, fox that comes from Japanese folklore, I.E. a Ninetails from Pokemon.
6066737 let's see... Twilight is a wraith, spike is a lich, and this a comment driven story, an Internet comment driven story... I honestly expected it to be more outlandish
7195315 actually kitsunes can have anywhere between 1 and 9 tails the more they have the more powerful they are.
Though love that you got most of it this right
6066737
It's okay for a fanfiction to deviate from canon heck that's half the point.
*sees title*
Trix...une... Tricks-oo-ney? TRIXIE KITSUNE???
*reading intensifies*
