[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.

Owain... I'm sorry. It must be difficult to lose your goddess so soon after arriving, but please don't go out on your own. You won't be able to defeat the ayakashi on your own, and if you get blighted, there may be no coming back from it.

Even the afterlife is fraught with trials but, fear not, I will be the better of them. As for this blight, I know so little but I have little fear for it. It appears many believe this to be a fools errand though so I will take that into consideration.

If you wait long enough, you'll be assigned to a new god. But if you don't want to wait, you could also ask someone to name you.

I could at that. Waiting on destiny sounds poetic, but I dread what my power will do if I leave it idle for too long. I dare not let it cause harm to the innocent.

Do you have any recommendations among the gods?

[clothes_make_the_man]

I do, actually. Try asking the current incarnation of Odin. His name is Leo, and he happens to be my father. I'm sure he'd be happy to take you in.

[For reasons he can't say.]

Odin. That is a good name for a god. It resonates with mystery and power. I think I may at that!
