Myth-Folklore

The stories I am most likely going to draw from in order to create my own story are Izanagi & Izanami,  Fox Fire, and  King Arthur. However, I believe I'll do my own mash up spin using only two of them, Fox Fire and King Arthur. The mashup was suggested by the professor and it seemed like it would make an amazing story the more I thought about it, I may even turn the Elixer from Fox Fire into The Philosopher Stone, since both are meant to give longevity but I am undecided on that. I'm going to look at Wikipedia for a lot of my research as well as any stories I can find online about the two stories in order to create my own. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit Photo from: forums.smitegame.com

Izanagi & Izanami come from Japanese mythology. The Japanese culture and pantheon are very interesting to me and I have always wanted to learn more about the history behind the myths and legends of Japan. Learning about the origins of Amaterasu and Susanoo and the "history" of their parents would be an amazing read. Putting their story into my own words will be quite the experience. Fox Fire. When it comes to mythical creatures I'm sure many people say their favorites are some of the obvious ones. Dragons, mermaids, unicorns, griffins etc. however the mythical creature that is my favorite is the Kitsune, preferably the nine  tailed fox. What I know of them so far is a Kitsune is a fox spirit, and every hundred years the fox spirit develops another tail, along with wisdom and more magical power. upon reaching 9 tails and living for a thousand years, there is a myth that the kitusne will be faced with a choice. Become a human, or become a god. I chose this story ...
