Fox spirits, húlijīng, kitsune, whatever you choose to call them, the nine-tailed fox spirits that live in the mountains were not meant to love. In fact, it was against the rules. These spirits were born from drops, the wind, and falling leaves to save and protect the mortal realm, how could they dream of doing anything more? It’s really not a bad deal anyway, to live comfortably and build spiritual power in exchange for ensuring mortals live in peace and prosperity. Foxes live in the rural communities of the whole world, sitting in shrines, churches, and courtrooms to hear the needs of humans. Assisting their armies, treating the sick and wounded, dancing, and playing music. And when they’ve completed a mission they get to return to their beautiful mountains, living in communities untouched by the greed and technology humans have brought into their world. Transcending mortal attachments like desire, gender, and sensuality had allowed them to remain in this sort of tranquility for centuries. Dressed in smooth-flowing silky fabrics, sleeping in warm houses with soft mattresses, and well-fed despite the lack of necessity to eat. And all they had to do was not make attachments of any kind. Truly, what more could they want?
