The goddess' name was Saruma, and she was part of the prophecy from before. Also Keikiro builds up a crush for Soramun, and they end up having a secret hidden romance thing. (also I'm sorry for my terrible explanation-) (2/2)
ok so here's the basic plot: basically a guy named Keikiro and his sister are animal caretakers, and they see this forest fire happening around them CONSTANTLY. The people from their town ban together to see who's causing it and they all try to put it out. Keikiro thinks there's something wrong people aren't noticing, and boom, he finds this guy who's half snake, half human. They take care of him, and think he was part of some prophecy from long ago. They also named him Soramun, after an old goddess. (1/2)
This sequence is actually based off of a story prompt one of my friends generated for me! It was "A dying fire," and although the sounds doesn't sound like it, I made a story to go along with it that makes much more sense than this does. I'll probably post it later in the comments, or in a forum somewhere-
