Good day, everypony! I have a question for you all: when those ayakashi that looked like fireflies came out of the opening near the viewing, at one point there was a giant sword hovering above the scene.

Does anypony know what that was about?

Oh? May I ask you to elaborate?

[lostinshadows]

Long story short: I made him angry. So, he decided to use his wind powers on me to make me go away.

[letteropener]

That seems very irresponsible for a god, especially one old enough to be more mature.

[lostinshadows]

To be fair, he was a child when we first met. Some children are prone to tantrums, after all.

[letteropener]

All the more reason such behavior should not be tolerated. Allowing tantrums is bad enough, but in a child with such power?

[lostinshadows]

Getting upset over it won't change what happened. The only thing you can do is actually get the chance to talk to him.

[letteropener]

True, but simply dismissing it as nothing is no good either. And I find it worrisome beyond just the event itself.

[lostinshadows]

What would you have done then if you were in my place?

[letteropener]

That is a very difficult question, and please do not think I am trying to criticize your actions. What I feel is that this speaks ill of the Far Shore as a whole, and that is something we should be concerned with.

[lostinshadows]

The whole way the Far Shore is organized is disconcerting, especially with the way it's evident that there are things they don't trust us with.

[letteropener]

That is unquestionably true. And moreover, they seem to have no intention of changing that.

[lostinshadows]

I'm not sure how the other two of the three are, but Fuujin doesn't seem like the type to listen to any of us easily. It'd take some time before they actually acknowledge us.

[letteropener]

Time that many of us may not have. We may need to find another way.

[lostinshadows]

Guess it's time to start plotting on how to make that happen.

[letteropener]

That will take many resources and a great deal of support from everypony here, I think.

[lostinshadows]

Our options are considerably low.

[letteropener]

Oh, not in the least! We are not without power of our own, and we have a place in this society that we have been given. That gives us a great amount of leverage. What we lack is knowledge and a plan to put our resources to best use.

[lostinshadows]

Sounds like you've given this considerable thought.

[letteropener]

I am familiar with power dynamics. It comes with being a Princess, even if the actual mechanisms here are not at all like those at home.

[lostinshadows]

If that's the case, then I'll be cheering you on. You might be enough to get their attention.

[letteropener]

I would like to try, at least. Though I suspect I need more followers to truly be worth considering in their eyes.

[lostinshadows]

All that means is needing to answering their prayers and earn their trust.

[letteropener]

It will take time and effort, but I am no stranger to such things. But that does mean we won't have the Far Shore changed by tomorrow.

[lostinshadows]

I'd be more surprised if we can get the Far Shore to change, but change happens over time.

[letteropener]

Oh yes. I have seen it, and it is amazing.
