The Day of Thunder

I liked the Kyosei, but he wasn't dusty enough. He's nearly always covered in dust, or causing it to stir up. The earth kami <i>really</i> like him.

I went with Name magic, Ritual magic, and a new secret being found; I really liked the magic in Burning Sands, and wouldn't have minded seeing some of it here...

I went with tribes, senpet, and sumersyria. Tribes and Senpet, in their history, have been around this long, and make sense. Sumeria in real world was one of the first, and had interesting things in it.

"Safe travels, Saru-san. Yoshitsune-san." With another bow, he continued on his way.

"Hope... hope can be a rare thing. That we, all the people of the Empire have it now, it is a time of marvels. Much greater ones than the spirits or even the little gods can offer. That is a good message. I will try to spread it, as I travel. And perhaps have others that travel and can spread it, to...

I like the Tibet - particularly for the Crab, as they are SO far north. Dragon would likely like it too!

Kyosei smiles again. "Our horizons are as they have often been, though few realize it - as far as we can walk. If only the effort is put in."

"Or even something serious, but not so high-stakes. A lot of the issues this time were not knowing what to expect, or how the attack would come, but knowing it was coming. And it's severity and high level of consequences if things were... well, screwed up."

The more I think of it the more the steampunk version feels more like what 1KYD of Yume-Jigoku would look like. 'Limitless potential and advancement... enjoy choking on the fumes.' That sounds about right. Since we dodged that bullet, lets not bring it on ourselves! Also, apart from the last 150 ye...

Kyosei nodded, then smiled. "Actually, another dream village could be interesting, now that the challenge of this one has been finished..."

Kyosei also bowed. "Keep always in mind that the Empire is many things, different for almost each person, and you will be starting the road to be a wise ruler. I hope to see much from you... in the future."

Kyosei waited. He had given his advice. Now, it was on others.

"Oh? Chronicler? Sounds interesting. Might I ask, what are you chronicling? And, is there any chance it can be copied to the Imperial Library system?"

Yes. Thank you for the game. Now, take the time for birb. Let yourself recover. Don't burn yourself out.

"As one of my duties is travelling gatherer of books and scrolls for the Imperial Library system, hai, they would be.Oh, thinking of, have you had any further inclinations on the invitation to travel with one of my caravans?"

Kyosei nodded to the others, giving a short bow as each came closer. "Kyosei, of the Isawa. I too am curious about the physical remnants of the village. I heard there were scrolls and other writings I never got the chance to see. But, there were other concerns last eve - people needed to be gotten o...

Heh. Will Shinsei's crow start following her around now? Or one of her children?

Well said.

Kyosei nods at the suggestion. While he has not spent a lot of time with the Princess, he has spoken with her, and judges she has... potential. "It is also not an immediate thing. You will have time, especially as you may now start preparing yourself. Spend time learning from His Majesty. Spend time...
