[thehandhungers]

From: Owain
Date: July 10, 2016

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.

Fighting a battle just to prove you aren't afraid isn't courageous.
It's reckless.
Just be patient.
They'll find you another partner.

I may not have the luxury of patience. Or the virtue. As for how long my control holds over the forces that battle within me for release, only time will tell.

[Cardia is no stranger to fearing you might be a danger to those around you. She assumes that's what is going on here.]

I see.
If there are separate issues that might cause harm to yourself or others then you might want to try finding a new god yourself.
It shouldn't be too difficult.

[Except... Owain was full of it. All part of the character he built.]

I wonder if there is a god out there that can match my own power. One who can point my strength in the direction it was destined to take.

[drops_acid]

I'm sure there is.
Just be patient and make your decision carefully.

[thehandhungers]

I can make no promise but I will heed thy warnings and advice. You have my thanks for your concern.

[drops_acid]

You're very welcome.
I just wish I could do more to help you.
But I do wish you luck.

Some things we face alone, others we unite against in a show of force. Your aid, big or small, is more than any hero could hope for.
