The Day of Thunder

Akutou's head turns toward Chuchu.

What're you thinkin', little one? he wonders.

“I think there’s plenty of sense in learning from the past… Do you have something in mind?” She asked.

Alright. Chuchu stands tall. "I have an idea." Breathing in, she again closes her eyes, reaching back to the root -- to the place where she and every other shaman who's carried her Name came from and returned. "As you know, my people are led by three castes: the Rememberers, the Chieftains, and the Shamans. Each represent their focus."

"Rememberers keep us connected to our past; Chieftains maintain the present, and we Shamans look to Tomorrow. It has always been our way." Connect it to the root, child. "This isn't simply out of convenience, or to keep one caste from having too much power. It is a reflection of the Dreaming -- the place we were born from and the place we return to. Within the Great Dream time is flattened. The past, the present and the future are entwined. Normally, we shamans focus on seeking the future within Yume-do, but perhaps we could seek the past."

“Our own.. wisemen of sorts believe that the world exists in a bunch of cycles… It is possible that there is stuff in the past that could be helpful for us now and in the future.”

"I will see what can be done. If you can pinpoint a time, I can try to take us there." Chuchu bows. "Thank you, Kumori-sama."

“I am free for much of the rest of today… Are there any preparations you need to make before trying this?”

"An' what c'n I do t' help?"
