Karma was born in 700 AD in the capital of Nara along with 2 brothers and sisters his family would sell and grow rice to earn money. And one day while on route to there normal selling area Karma meet a fox kit who was hurt along the side of a river. So karma took it in and raised him as a pet and he eventually named him flea.For a while Karmas life was a joyful one until one day he and flea returned from a rice sale and found that the capital had been raided thousands of houses decimated including his own. He looked for his family amoungets the rubble but all he could find were ashes. After that day karma and flea lived out there days alone for a while until Karma stumbled Apon a tale of a yokia named Hinnagami who is said that he can grant any wish. And for Karma it was the hope he so desperately needed. And for a while he and flea searched for the one called hinnagami until one day the thought they had found it something that looked exactly like what the picture told a monkey white as snow sitting on a rock playing a beautiful song. So karma asked this yokai if he could please please reunite him with his family and the yokai turned and told him to follow it. And so he and flea did the monkey lead them to a cave as pitch black as the night and when they entered the monkey vanished and all that was left was two bright yellow eyes that spoke to them it said. You will not seek repentance for your loved ones by bringing them back you think of your self as burdened and of need of redemption but i think of you as only foolish and young and for your arrogance i will take away that which you care most for and give you a curse you must bear with for life. And at that moment Flea was taken from him that pet he had cared for was gone and karma was left there alone and empty. Once home karma tried to do the unthinkable take his own life but once the dagger, he used had percid his heart he felt only pain for a moment and then he felt fine Karma was now immortal.

What we know now

After this short story little is know about the yokai known as Karma many have clamed to see him either tending there rice fields of looking after fox kits in the woods. although many have said they were once saved by Karma when they were in peril those are only eye witness reports but it does match the behavior that historian's of that past have witnessed first hand. Many historians have stated that they have seen karma protecting people and animals all around the country of Japan. One historian report is from a expedition to the wood land area surrounding Kyoto. In this expiation log it states that karma was protecting a wounded bear from a attacker clad in armor. Another historian report is from the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 this report states that when the bomb hit they were knocked unconscious and when they came to they were in a swamp with glistening light and with what looked like a thousand people still unconscious. What is interesting about this report in general is that after this point if an American solider were to step into the woodland area of Japan they would be attacked by hundreds of wild life. And even though the attack reports have dimmed through out the years there are still reports of American travelers being swarmed by animals and attacked.
