It appears I am like a sword without a hand to wield it. My goddess has departed, leaving only a letter of farewell and freeing me of the bonds that tie shinki to god.

Without direction, I wonder if it is best to take my sword and hunt ayakashi until my path reveals itself. I am told I cannot rid the land of their existence myself, but that I may weaken them for others. Maybe this is my true fate, to be a lone weapon, unfettered of my duty and facing evil in the darkness.

I know not my path but I am open to hearing the thoughts of those more experienced in this existence as well as others of strong opinion.

Do not fight ayakashi on your own, if you can help it.
I recommend choosing a new god of your own, someone you can fight with and respect. It will save you from being assigned to someone unsuitable later.

As my restraint dwindles, it is a wonder I could stop myself from seeking out this evil. As for the gods, I know so few. Maybe, one day, I will find one whose will is a match for my own. Until then I am unsure of who would be suitable.

[What is with this kid and the drama? She kinda digs it.]

If you can learn to practice patience and restraint, the power you will achieve may be enough to help you properly vanquish your foes. If you cannot, they'll devour you.

[Look, she can do it too.]

But seriously, think about it and ask around. It isn't a decision to be made lightly. If you get assigned to someone you can't work with before you choose your own, don't feel as though you can't ask them to remove the name.

[He's just always over dramatic.

Though this is a lot of things he was not aware of.]You have imparted knowledge upon this swordsman that was beyond his grasp before. I thank you, and will take to heart what you have taught me.
