Heavenfall

Kakuro, where are you? We're here, please... help... The former wanderer could hear as he went deeper into the waters. The voices of his parents, the village chief and other of his original people, pleading for help. Doji's companion thought that he had forgotten their voices, but now they were the...

Kakuro once again started hearing sounds. Much like the other day when he heard some whispers near his tent, once again at first he heard a muffled somewhat familiar noice. He started moving towards the source. The voices he could heard call him into the waters of a nearby swamp. It was difficult to...

Kakuro had some sort of spiritual connection to animals, but he didn't think this was an animal at all. More like a spirit or even something else so he didn't know how to help the crow. If it was a human it would be far more easier since he knows the side-effects of these particular herbs. He uses t...

'' Huh...'' Kakuro managed to say. This whole situation was way ridiculous, maybe some prank from the realm of Prankster spirits. He was not sure, and his knowledge about prankster spirits was basic at most.

'' Do you need help, Karasu-san?'' He asked to the spirit-shadow crow.

'' Well that is a side effect of these herbs...'' He commented to the shadow-crow-spirit. '' Now you learned, i suppose ''

Kakuro didn't mind that the crow was chewing or eating his supply. What interested him more was the nature of the crow. It was clearly not a animal from this world.

'' What...'' To say that Kakuro was surprised was a understatement. He observed the shadow-crow, trying to see if it was the same crow that the person known as Shinsei was carrying. Whatt was for certain is that it was not a common crow. Also a drugged shadow-crow-spirit so it seems- '' Karasu?...''...

Kakuro reaches for the herb's container. Clearly something was inside, or seem to be inside. He opened it...

That was strange. He didn't have much personal things other than his clothing, pipe, his hemp herb, etc. In any case, he approaches and take a look around to see, what is this all about...

After a long day of marching, the sun begins to rise over the mountains, with the barest few golden rays beginning to creep their way over the distant peaks. It would be a uniquely lovely day, if not for the unusual muffled thumping noise coming from somewhere nearby. Indeed it would be a lovely da...

''I'm glad to hear that everything has been going fine with your family, Jin-sama.'' He commented. '' The fact that the creation of the Kami gives so much importance to family as the basic form of organization in their creation must mean that it will be an important part of the future of whatever re...

'' Indeed....'' Kakuro nods to Taochusu's comment. '' Learning can take many forms and one never really stops to learn in one's lifetime and even then perhaps we continue to learn once our spirit moves to the Spirit realms beyond this world.'' He said and then smoked a bit. '' Giving guidance is no ...

'' Well, i can't give an opinion about that since this is the first time i kind of have a family.'' Kakuro commented. '' Being a tribeless wanderer made difficult for that particular topic, ha.'' He adds.

'' What about your own family, Jin-sama? How is your family doing?''

Kakuro instead first checked if Shinsei was truly asleep, not touching him, but from close by. Then he sat right in front of him, waiting. The chores could wait for some minutes. He took out his pipe, put some herbs inside of it, lit it and started smoking while observing Shinsei. Kakuro himself wan...

'' Indeed the goal for her is very important, at least that is my impression as well. I don't think that she disregards the process per-se but believes in her methods and she follows them as best as she can do as well.'' Kakuro shrugs. '' But i follow her because i believe that she indeed has the be...

"Ah," he seemed to pause for a moment, then bowed gently to Kakuro. "This one is Shinsei, wanderer, wise man, and occasional corvid perch." '' Shinsei, eh. I think i have heard that name before. '' Kakuro tries to remember. '' Shinsei-san, i think you have been one that has been going around delive...

"Lot's of places, animals and bandits. A few tribes. Fellow wanderers on occasion." He heaves his axe. "Forests, lakes, rivers, mountains, and plains during all the seasons." He heaves it again. "Seen a lot. Didn't know the name for everything I've seen so there are some things I probably won't eve...

'' I see.'' Kakuro commented as he took out his pipe, put some herbs on it, and light it up. '' Indeed, the kami all seem similar, thought they are also different from each other. I guess while they all share the values of Tengoku and have a deep understanding of how the Heavens are or how they beha...

'' Indeed. I have been trying to give my own, flawed, perspective as to how is to be a ningen here, so as to advise her into how different we are with respect to them. After all, they are gods.'' He commented as he sat down. '' But that raises the question, how valid are our perspectives, as mere mo...

Kakuro nods and pick up some of the wood from the stack. He was not very strong, but he had learned from kami Hida that no matter what obstacle one must carry on. Especially when helping others. '' Hmm, the Earthquake Fish bay lies near the lands of the Kuwagaya tribe, if you had heard of them, that...

''A companion of Kami Doji...'' He nods to the man. '' Doji Kakuro, is this one's name. '' He presented himself with another bow. '' Etiquette as kami Doji has taught to the realm is not something that will be spread quickly, though i try to follow her teachings as best i can in order to bring their...
