"How are you feeling today great prophet, you sound unwell." Omoi asked looking up at the man. "I and I am sure others have many questions but I do not want to impede your rest."

As their host began to speak Omoi bid his companion to sit with him and hi daughter, settling down and preparing to write every word down.

Snip "I'm sure there are many here who are unsure or skeptical, the past thirty-odd years have seen much upheaval in people's lives and Shinsei brings more of that. It's only natural that some will resist or be defensive, even the Kami are not universal in their opinion of him. You at least have th...

Snip Omoi looked up and smiled. "Ah Kai-san, blessed morning to you." He quickly stood and bowed, the little girl following suit. "This is my daughter Chōjo. Chōjo, this is the musician I told you I met yesterday." " My father says you were serenading the city " The girl said with a diminutive voic...

Omoi sat in the middle of it all listening and writing, his daughter's head whipping back and forth as new new people arrived and alerting her father.

Omoi and his daughter hurriedly took seats on the ground near the little master. The little girl looked at the wizened man with wonder as Omoi laid out the things he would need to record everything that would happen.

OK, is anyone missing or dead yet?

"Of course." Omoi said with an apologetic bow. "I would never want hold either of you, thank you both for hearing my request and may the heavens bless you."

"Duty and loyalty to the Emperor is what matters in the end." Omoi adopts a for formal posture and continues. "Beyond whatever Shinsei-sensei has in store for us it is my hope to record as much of the events here as possible for history. Should time and your interests allow it I would love to speak ...

"I believe the Daimyo is asking if you have sworn yourself to one of the clans." Omoi added. He turned to address the Unicorn. "I've been studying maps lately and there is still a great amount of this empire that is unclaimed by a kami, lands that remain distant from the Emperor's light; especially ...

Omoi blanched at the suggestion that he was anything but loyal. "Well...yes of course, did my words suggest otherwise as that certainly was not my intent."

"That is an interesting Question Kai-san, if we all have a destiny is all of this predetermined by Lady Amaterasu. At least two of the Kami have sent their most loyal followers here, perhaps they too can see the threads of fate." He said speaking glowingly of the celestial beings.

He stood and smoothed his clothes. "The fog is certainly lingering, I would not be overly concerned with becoming turned around in it; not yet. But yes, it is early but a small encampment is growing on the edge of town; I would point you in a direction but it is probably easier if you just ride the ...

Going down on his knees when the Daimyo dismounts, Omoi smiles at her at the mention of the little prophet. "Are you here because of Shinsei-sensei too Otaku-daimyo? I heard that my Daimyo was coming but I did not expect other illustrious parties to be attending. Perhaps there will be more people ar...

"This one is named Makime Omoi, Student of Ikoma's Path in the service of my family." He said with another formal bow and waited for the flautist to introduce themselves.

Once the daimyo spoke it banished any doubt the fog was causing and Omoi bowed deeply. "Blessed morning to you Otaku-daimyo. I suspect the fog is playing tricks on all but the residents here; I trust that Amaterasu will guide us when she is ready. I would be honored to aid you if I can, but the unce...

The tune bounced strangely through the narrow, foggy street but pulled the Lion towards it's source. Omoi approached hesitantly, careful not to disrupt to musician as they performed. He stood against a nearby wall and closed his eyes briefly to let the music take him elsewhere; a warm smile on his f...

Omoi takes an early morning stroll through the village streets.

Echos in the Fog

Omoi walked tentatively through the streets at dawn. He had only just arrived at the encampment when he directed his daughter to get things sorted and made his way to town. The thick fog combined with his ailment made navigating the narrow streets difficult but though he was careful with each step h...
