Shirakami: my village, was the reason i become a goddess, my village was not that prosperous, everyday i encounter a starving person, crop failure, drought condition also the river was all dry, "if i have power then i will help this village with all i can" or so i thought to myself, and my father as the village chief couldn't do anything as well
V: that's pretty bad
Shirakami: yeah it is, then one day someone from the castle came to my village and tell me "this village was really miserable" without him telling the condition about my village, i already know
V: then what happen?
Shirakami: he tells me that if i come with him, i can save the village, i will have the power to help my village
V: so you accept the offer?
Shirakami: yeah, i accepted it without thinking twice and through even my father against it the first time, "i want to save this village" is all what i think in the moment
V: *silent*
Shirakami: then after i accepted the offer, the man bring me to the castle and bring me into some kind of praying chamber, they told me to pray and say what my wish was, i do as they told me to do, so i start praying and wishing, "i want to save my village"
V: hmm
Shirakami: then suddenly a bright shining light appear out of nowhere and the voice was echoing "i hear your wish, your wish shall be granted" then in a blink of eye, the light was going inside me, then i go unconscious
V: *remain silent while seriously hearing to Shirakami voice*
Shirakami: i don't remember anything when i go unconscious, when i wake up, i already have a tail and this fox ear and i was in my village
V: so you have become the goddess?
Shirakami: yeah, i thought it was all a dream but, when i look closely to my tails and ear, it looks real and turn out it is real
V: *nodding*
Shirakami: i was shocked so as my parents, they though that this is a kind of curse, so they searching for a shaman to remove the ear and tail, the shaman then tell my parents the opposite of what they though, because the shaman couldn't sense any bad energy from me, both my parents doesn't believe it that easy
V: well it does hard to believe it when you said it like that
Shirakami: two days passed in my new form then i realize my power
V: you have a power!? that's surprising
Shirakami: *pouting* didn't i tell you that i'm a goddess?
V: *laugh* yeah yeah sorry my bad, go on
Shirakami: *pouting* i hate you, i realize my power when i see to the river, i though to myself "i hope this river could have some water flowing in it" then some voice tell me to hold my hands and start to give out a blessing, i don't understand it at first, but i realize it when i have a wish of something
V: a wish of something?
Shirakami: yeah, i wished that the river could have some water in it, it's not immediately work, but the day after i wished it, the river filled with water flowing also with some fish
V: wow, that's sounds like a miracle
Shirakami: i though it's just a coincidence and nothing more, but as soon as i have a wish to rebuild my village, then the one that i've wished become the reality
V: well that's in fact sounds like a power of a goddess
Shirakami: i tried to help my village as far as i can, and i pushed myself to help all he way i can
