[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.

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!
