The Day of Thunder

Kumori similarly looked for the hostess to see if she reacted in a similar way…

Quite the buzzkill for a feast…

"That was... something to remember." Nao took a moment to catch her breath. The experience reminded her of one of her seizures. Thankfully, it hadn't been ad debilitating.

Chouri is indeed bracing herself on the floor, holding her head. She smiles and waves the other villagers off when they ask about her wellness.

Sora approached and offered his hand.

"My apologies, Lady Chouri. My visions are not often that strong, but they have never been quite so... widespread."

About that time, quite late, Norikage walked into the house. He had a small bottle of something alcoholic he procured along the way and placed it on a table, bring something where you arrive, after all.

He then grabbed some food and scarfed it down. Noticing that things were a bit baited and tense, he looked around, shrugged and.kept eating.

Hikaru grit his teeth, both hands coming up to clutch at his head as the vision took hold. Fear, confusion, and a healthy does of nausea all seemed to wash over him in those few seconds.

He swallowed as he came out of it, blinking, looking around, confusion turning to shock as he realized everyone else had gone through the same thing.

"What was that?" Hikaru swallowed again. "Who was that?"

The dragon's legs became wobbly so he sought stability at the nearest wall before the vision came. He was confused about it's source but he thought he understood the meaning of vision.

''Was that Lady Doji?" He frowned "No... that's not it"

For his part, his player having been asleep when it happened, Akutou drops the bowl he had been holding.

"Well," he says aloud and to nobody in particular, "that's a strange party trick."

The vision flashes as Naraku finishes taking a bite. It forcefully presents to himself and washes his body with a healthy dose of nausea and anxiety. The symbolism was clear but was it truly a vision? And if yes, from whom?

He stumbles a bit, still wobbly from the forceful intrusion.

"Did anyone else?" his words are cut off as he feels a numbing headache.

Han-Hei stepped toward the center of the room and asked aloud, “Everybody who saw something just now… Please raise your hand.”

After waiting an appropriate amount of time to give everyone opportunity to choose whether or not they raise their hands….

“I think the first question is… Did we all see the same thing?”

She looked around for a second.

“One woman in armor… Eight ill-defined figures behind her… That sound familiar to everyone?”

''That might be the thunders'' he replied, raising a hand ''The first might have been revealed?''

"Did she seem familiar, then?" Nao asked, uncertain herself.

"Fair warning... the futures I see are subject to change. But I think Wu-san has the broad strokes correct."

Han-Hei replied, “It could mean that… But it could mean a lot of things. Visions don’t always give you things that you hope for from what I have heard…”

She looked around, “I don’t know many stone-ladies walking around camp… So… there’s something we don’t quite get.”

"The Thunders," he managed to say as he reeled back from the forceful vision. "The stern determination. The courage to stand in defiance in the face of peril and for the protection of others. That was the Crab Thunder."

"But... I could not see the face," he composed himself, feeling slightly better. "Merely that it was a woman."

"Saw blue an' big," Akutou says. "Couldn't tell on th' rest."

Shaking out of it, Satsuki had followed Sora to look after the headwoman. She might've been the one most surprised by this sudden vision. "Are you doing alright?"

She glanced to Sora. "I have a feeling that will happen each time destiny takes shape before the day is upon us..."

Hikaru frowned. "Jiyo-sama's eye is known throughout the Empire." He bowed to the man.

As he straightened, his frown deepened. "But why did the rest of us have this vision? Correct me if I'm wrong, Jiyo-sama, but you do not normally share them with others."

"Ah... Yes," she said, smiling apologetically and taking Sora's hand to straighten. "I apologize, it was just... a-a shock. Are you all all right?"

"A... Thunder? I get the impression you're not talking about the weather..." She said, looking around at the others.

“No… no they’re not… They are linking one prophecy to another… Though I am not sure we should be so eager to jump to conclusions…”

She looked over to Sora.

“Sora-sama’s visions are not always the clearest…”
