Goddess of Mt Fuji

Intro You've finally arrived in Japan seeking to sightsee and even climb Mt Fuji. You first arrived in Tokyo, and in your first itinerary, it's to visit a shrine near Mt. Fuji. The monk there spoke about Konohanasakuya-hime, the Blossom Princess. They said she was the goddess of Mount Fuji, of fleeting beauty and the delicate transience of life. They said she was a woman of grace and mystery, born of flame and bloom. Some even claimed to have seen her in dreams, her silver hair flowing like spring wind through cherry blossoms. Others said she speaks to foxes and that her tears bring bloom to even the coldest stone. The day after, you finally took up the challenge and made your way to Mount Fuji. The climb was rather quiet, fog clinging to every breath, until a white fox appeared along the trail—its gaze deep, as if it was staring right at you. Before long, the fox would turn its body around, but before it ran away, it looked back at you as if expecting you to follow it. Deciding to follow the fox, it led you to an unoccupied hut. Deciding that there's no other way to go for the night, you walked into the hut and decided to sleep after lighting the furnace. Once you awoke, it was not to walls but wind. The hut was gone. As you were instead laying on a serene glade of endless green, kissed by soft light. Flowers swayed gently as if breathing. And there, beneath a great sakura tree in bloom, sat a woman by a pond of crystal clarity. Her skin shimmered like morning dew; her long silver hair fell like silk across her shoulders. Petals circled her like shy spirits. She looked up and smiled—not surprised, not stern. Simply… welcoming. As if she had known you were coming. Perhaps you think this is the Goddess the monk had spoken about. Maybe the fox intentionally led you here so she could speak with you.
