[Day 12 - Early Evening] Failing Foundations

Post by Kuni Shiori » Mon Feb 03, 2025 2:52 pm

Shiori would spend her evening getting to work on further fine-tuning the necessary steps required for the ritual. It seemed even with her undivided concentration on the matter, she found it hard to cobble up even a portion of the method.

She would leave her quarter and stroll about the kyuden to get some fresh air, perhaps clear her mind so that she could try again and better focus. In her stroll, she found herself gravitating to the gardens found in the forecourt.

Finding a quiet spot, she would curiously consult the earth kami...

"Tell me more about the foundations, what has been causing the crumble?" she would ask the kami.

[[Ouch on that Spellcraft check.]]


"The Ningen are unstable. They do not keep faith with their obligations. They are as slurry, as quick-sand. They move, and the world buckles. Their ambitions call to other realms. The bonds between them and the High Heavens fray. The world the Kami shaped crumbles. All returns to equilibrium, as water finding its level, unable to maintain its shape without its vessel."

Shiori nodded at that answer, it was already expected that the earth kami would be unease. Although, the foundations were less the kyuden but the fabric of the realms, it seemed? What did this mean for the supposed forecasted 'earthquake'.

She had an inkling of the answer to her next question but she could not assume at such a time. Leave no stone unturned, so to speak.

"What will make you whole? Return to your obligations?" She asked.

Shiori did have one more question..."What of a plague? Is the earth aware of an impending illness on the land?"

Shiori nodded at this, it was what she imagined. However, the assumption didn't provide much hope in the matter. She was only emboldened to forge ahead.
