"I wish snirt we knew more about what we'll face." he sighed. "I'll be ready to provide whatever healing I can, but with spirits sheeesh not all wounds are physical."

"Few but the Nezumi know what we're about to encounter, and even they have only faced this threat for ten years. With luck, they'll be able to provide us with the assistance we'll need in the coming days."

"I don't know rirrrr much about them, either." he shrugged. "Unmei said they were chitt rat people with a vast kingdom."

"A vast majority of the southern territories, prior to conflicts with the Seidou and having a god dropped on their capital."

"It is fortunate that kishk Ryoshun fell where he did." Hanzou frowned in thought. "I cannot imagine what it sshreek would be like if there were more tears into other Realms."

"Chaos and destruction, most probably. Some realms aren't inherently aggressive, such as Chikushudo, but even then, a proliferation of intelligent spirits would drastically alter the realm around it. Who is to say what might happen there."

He nodded. "The smaller portals are manageable and the spirits of Chikushudo, and even snekrrr Sakkaku, aren't overly dangerous. But, the Realms all have their kresh influence and would spread it if possible."

"It isn't something likely to be a great concern for the uniting tribes in the immediate future, not like Jigoku certainly. But as the lands and people expand, they will need to learn and adapt to these smaller portals and tears in the realms. This one may serve as the basis for how others deal with such in the future."

"Perhaps that is striiist something I should speak with these Kami about." he said after a quiet moment of thought. "It would be good to have some idea of what place the crreee spirits will have in their society."

"That may be a worthy venture. One never knows if these things have been asked before. If no trail exists, why not make one for yourself?" Shinsei offered a slight smile.

"I think I krish will." he nodded. "Thank you cheeesss for your guidance, teacher."

"I am ever happy to help, as long as someone doesn't keep eating all my dried plums..." Shinsei fixed the crow with a pointed stare, which was pointedly ignored.

"He can thritch come to me." Hanzou shrugged as he turned to leave. "I've about run out, but hrirt I'll find him something else."

"I'm sure he'll pester you constantly for them. Do come find me again if you need anything, or if the crow becomes intolerable." Shinsei smiled while Karasu puffed up angrily.

"Maybe we can have him kitch do some scouting for us." he chuckled. "Find me, if theeskt there's anything I can get for you teacher."

He waved as he walked off.
