6. Fox Spirit

There had many stories relating to it, Fox Spirit.
Long time ago that the speaker didn't remember when, in heaven lived a nine-fox. It's pet of heaven's king. Nine-tail fox was more beautiful and charming than ever other creatures. So it's given much love, favour and power from king of heaven. It's also the reason gods living on heaven envied. They found the way to harm it. At last, they had the chance as heaven's king and it were apart. They caught it, sealed its power in itself and changed it into a normal fox (one-tail fox). Then, they threw it down ground, the world of people. They all built a lie to talk to their king and made sure that he believed it.

Losing almost power and having no help, it had to fight to live but hadn't forgotten to hope that heaven's should find out it. That's reason for it to continued fighting, continued lived. However, more time passed, it had more many wounds on its body. Disappointed, suffering and at last, all its mind was filled full by hatred. After thousand years lived in people's world, it broke completely the steal gods set on it and got again its power and shape, found the way back to heaven. But, it couldn't get pass the gate of heaven because it had lived on ground too long and the beast's instinct existed inside. It crazily broke in heaven's gate but it couldn't the heaven was protected by magics. At last, it fell down with serious wounds on its body, was burned. It was forced to live on ground the rest of life though it's not its world. It also didn't belong to the hell, world of monsters. It's the creature which didn't belong to any of three worlds. Its offspring also didn't belong to any of the worlds. They were lone creatures, trying to back heaven or to live as a human. That's the story of the first Fox Spirit.

By someway, other Fox Spirits were born after that. They have the shape of normal fox with one tail and white color.
Fox Spirits will have more tails after years. Normally, they will have three tails after fifty years, six tails after one hundred years and nine tails after thousand years. They are bigger and more powerful if they get more tails. The tails symbolize for their power and strength. The foxes get less tails obey the foxes have more. All Fox Spirits can transform into young charming beautiful women with sweet voice. Though they want or not, men are always charmed when they appeared in women's shapes. Some of them will take advantage of that to seduce men to kill and eat their soul and maybe their blood and flesh that is the way bringing them more power, gets more tails fastly but not all fox spirits do that and not all of their lives they will do that they will change till they get the true love. They can spend their lives besides the people they love. They are gentle, kind and easy to be hurt it means they will not use their power to harm people more. They symbolize intense love they will do everything because of their children and people they love though they have to die. They are the most intelligent creatures and also the creatures which are changed most because of love.

They are creatures which always keep promise though it's not good for them. They promise and they do. They are grateful, clear in love and hate. They will help the people who helped them and also revenge people who harmed them. Therefore, somewhere they are considered as a gods but somewhere they are breaker bringing to people the fear.

Besides the ability of transform, their tails give them much power. How many tails they have, how many they get. If anyone wants to kill them, they have to cut all of their tails before that. They also control something by the tails. The first tail can create and control illusion, the second is fire, the third is thunder, the forth is water, the fifth is soil, the sixth is plants, the seventh is cloud, the eighth is light and the ninth is dark. The nine-tail fox can change its color in red or black. Or maybe if it is admitted by heaven's king they will change in golden color and is allowed to live in heaven.
Fox Spirits the creatures have strength of gods but are not gods. They have two wishes, one is to become a woman, to live and die as a woman, to be love and love and the other is to be admitted by gods and come back to heaven. They all try to be a part of one world they choose.
