I open my eyes and raise to a standing position as the wind picks up the leaves around me. Forming a small twister of leaves. As my mind attempted to comprehend what is happening my eyes make out a figure in the center of the spinning leaves. The wind settles down, revealing a woman or what I could have only perceived as a woman at that moment. I pull my eyes from her for a moment to notice the circle of foxes surrounding us. She reaches for one and receives the little Fox kindly in her arms and then speaks to me.
Of my prayer and I then realise what had actually happened. I most have broken a seal or barrier of some kind with my offering. But now I might have the means to understand it all. Surely she would have answered to question no mortal could answer. But these are quite selfish thoughts and I most pull myself from them. "It's Faith that I have lost. Faith in humanity, this society, God and; myself. I could have been more, should have been more? It could have been different, it should have been different? I try to pull myself from these thoughts to save me from the madness but tell me Goddess, why are you here now?"
Thanks.
It has been a year since I've fled America and at the very least I can say Japan has been treating me well. The Japanese people are kind and full of character, I couldn't have wished for a better place to start over. But like all Ronin, I long for something more. It's become a daily habit of mine, to visit this forest. I feel almost drawn to it but it's probably just my loneliness getting to me. I pull my Classic Mustang into the same parking spot just next to the path leading into the forest like always. Turn my car off and let a few seconds pass, sighing before I get out of the car. I grab my hunting gear and head up the path.
I spend a few minutes walking on the path before I detour off into the forest. I have been tracking a group of fox around this area of the forest. I am going deeper then I have before but it doesn't take me long to find a place to set up my rifle and then the waiting begins. I found fox dropping about 100 meters in front of me with tracks heading west. I assume they are out hunting and will pass by this same area to return home. A couple hours pass by and the sun starts to slowly droop out of the sky. I am about to give up and pack away my things when I finally see him. A male fox with a rabbit hanging from his mouth.
I look down the scope and slow my breathing. I think about taking the shot but my kindness and mercy get the better off me and I let him pass. I couldn't imagine how his family would feel if he never came back. As the fox disappears from view I notice a structure of some kind, hidden behind a set of trees. I pack up my things and rise to head back out of the forest but my curiosity compels me to investigate. The structure appears to be a shrine of some kind with a sign. "Leave an offering to gain help from the fox spirit." I read it out loud. I decide to clean up the area the small shrine resides in and pay my respects.
I pull a coin out of my pocket and flick it into the money box, kneel putting my hands together and pray. "I do not particularly regret anything in my life and while I have shed the blood of my fellow man for country and honour, I have lived my life as best I could. I am missing something, war has stolen a piece of me and I just want to know to what end. Why? Am I so terrible?" I prey quietly as the sunset paints the sky with vibrant pinks and oranges. But I have never had any real faith in God.

Alright, so how'd you want to do this?
I'm up for your Fox Spirit idea. What kind of time period were you thinking about?
