This morning was something else. The poison fields are practically off limits to everyone as the lilies there are well...poisoned. That doesn't stop a pyromaniac Taoist watching the fields burn. I only just got up to hear the shrill cries from Medicine.
"I'm gonna kill her." No amount of apology could fix what I'm seeing.
*Fwuuush*
Medicine look at the burning poison fields in horror and anger. Futo in all her unfortunate wisdom decided to set Medicine's home on fire.
"Doth wretched beasts shall perish before the morrow." Only you and me understand what that means Futo.
"SPEAK LIKE A NORMAL PERSON YOU PYROMANIAC LUNATIC!!" At this point I wasn't gonna stopped her from flying towards Futo's boat in anger as poison surrounded her.
"I shall reap your soul fiend!" Whatever yadda yadda. I flare out Gin Trickster and ready up to concentrate on putting out the flames. The smoke is gonna kill everything as oleander was also in the mix. Dammit Futo you dumb taoist. Gathering the wind with this still spinning balisong I was more focused on taking out oxygen in the air forcing the flames to point torwards me.
"GO BROTHER GO!" I sigh as Koishi is tagging along. Kuro Dokeshi is next and...
SILENT SCREAMS SLASH
"FWUUSHHHH*
"AAAAAAAhhhh?" I took out the oxygen as well as flames but my hearing and others are temporary deafen from the lack of air. Looking at the smoldering fields and the only greenery left is at the top of the hill. I noticed Medicine came back with Futo in hand, the ashes and dust clinging to her unamused face. She tosses the taoist harshly unto the poison fields ashes.
"I hope you're happy, but you just took out precious herbs and medicines for everyone from these fields. Poisonous they may be, but they're useful in many forms. Especially in Eirin's hands." Futo didn't respond, in fact she looks dead. Medicine started to look worry. Yo Futo are you alive half hermit?
"This isn't funny, you don't burn people's home down for no reason without consequences." I notice that Futo had possibly went into a catatonic state or is suffocating judging by the swelling...wait don't tell me? Technically you shouldn't do this unless you're immortal, but bloodletting does one incredible thing in this scenario.
*Shnrrk*
"Venus! What the hell!?" I didn't hesitate to cut just below Futo's wind pipe pretty soon she return back to her pale skin tone in the face. Poison overdose or she had an allergic reaction to everything burning. Place smells awful and even I'm getting dizzy.
"Head spinning, wooo! Hahahaha!" Koishi's outta of her mind from the smoke. Checking Futo's wound and seeing it seal completely as her eyes open before springing upward surprise.
"Even after what I've done? Thou would still help me?" Not my home, so it's not my problem. However, we now have to go down wind and check the damage. The Forest of magic and the Human Village aren't too far from here.
"Bullshit! Look what you've done. You've destroyed everything I was building for 15 years. What made you want to burn my home!?" Medicine lean over Futo, and grab her own glass eyes with an audible pop they came out and behind was a darken void which made Futo very uneasy.
"Doth protest much?" Wrong answer as Medicine put Futo in a bear hug and squeeze. In the process she open her mouth as wide as possible and every orifice was dripping poison rapidly over Futo.
"AHHHHHH!" I sigh at the sight. It'll take forever to clear the fields and replant the razed soil. Even control burns are more manageable than this. However, the soil is fertile. I wonder if I can just force the plants to regrow. Placing a flat palm I concentrated and...
"Woooooow!" The poison lillies, oleander, deathbells grew back rapidly but stop at the only clearing on the hill. I felt drain though as I stumble back to my feet.
"Are thou a floral youkai like Kazami as well?" Youkai that loves flowers, not a flower youkai. Futo's skin was ashen grey and splotches of purple veins, clear rashes on her face and expose legs. When Medicine let go Futo dropped like a rock clearly alive, but could only move her head and eyes. Medicine return to normal and smile at the field's beauty. Of course if oleander smoke went downwind that means...shit the human village! Futo!
"Waaaaah!" I didn't hesitate in picking up Futo and rushing back to village the devastation of once living animals of all kinds stain my path some were probably still alive judging by the struggling and twitching limbs. I already hate this day.
Tenshi and Iku watch the blacken ash smoke pass over the trees towards the human village.
"That's from the Doll's home...Oh no! We gotta check on the Village! Shit Doll!" Tenshi took off to the poison fields leaving Iku behind.
"The winds will slow me down. Better go to the Village to prevent more tragedies." Iku sighs as her flying capabilities are like a sailboat. She follows the winds instead of self propelled means. She lazily glides as she felt a rapidly moving signature approaching the village.
"It's most definitely Venus, and...Futo? Oh my, I see now what happened. Futo you troublesome hermit of the taoist faith. You'll pay most dearly for this transgression." Iku's warm smile as she saw the gate and Venus was already there tending to the down guards.
"Oh dear."
Well, they're alive but this smoke is gonna killed them and the humans inside. I didn't have alot of options except removing the helmet and keeping them from breathing more in. Luckily the gate block most of the contaminated air. Unfortunately that affected the guards outside. I looked back to see Iku gliding slowly up the path eyeing the damage that Futo cause. Speaking of, Futo looked slightly better but was stuck in a jittering phase of the poison and was crying blood painfully. This is why you don't pissed off the poisoned doll, whatever was in that concoction it seems to last in phases. I doubt even a second bloodletting will fix this one.
"I supposed we go inside and talk to the elders and Miko." Great, just what I wanted to do today. Meet the ten desires hearer herself. I'm not really a fan of the taoists. Hypocrisy and politics stained their hands. I huffed as I pick up Futo as Iku pulled the lever. I haven't been to the village in a while. As the gate open a familiar silver hair history teacher had a worry but furious look in her eyes. She took one look at Futo and groan.
"Of course. We're all going to the same place. The Elders home isn't far, follow me." People covered their mouths others were on the ground or coughing harshly. Most look at us and Keine in distained. Of course the supposed peace didn't last as rock flew by. One aim at both Keine and Iku and considering my pension to do everything.
Jirai
Catching them both was easier in this form as I realize I let go of Futo so dropping the rocks. I caught her and things went back to normal time; of course from my fast movement kicked up dust and wind.
"You did something just then child?" I nervously smile back at Iku. I"d rather not fight Sam at any capacity. Luckily that little outburst was all that took to stopped the voilence. Going between center stalls and buildings things look better as we got further away.
"Futo's already punished enough in her current state." Keine stopped to check her and Futo looked pale but no longer paralyze but was running a high fever now. We resume walking until we came to a fairly normal looking buiding. Few older looking humans and...Miko was there talking to eachother. Miko turns her gaze at the thing in my arms and runs over.
"Futo!"
"P-prince?"
"Yes, just set her down will you?" I conceded to her demand as she check over Futo meticulously. Miko relaxes, breathes in abit and...
*SMACK*
Slaps Futo, in the face. She's hurt enough as is.
"The hells wrong with you!? You stupid girl!? I said not to burn the poisoned fields you'll just kill the village not the youkai around the village!" Miko raises a hand only for Keine to stop her.
"Enough, she's already payed the price for her misdeed. Right now we must focus on fixing the damage done. Ms.Mononobe is not capable to help so it's up to us to provide aid. Reisen has spare medicine for oleander poisoning." Keine roughly lets go of Miko's arm a bruised was marked on it.
"Alright, I take full responsibility. I should've been watching her more closely." Miko looks degected and turns and dogeza at the older men watching in silence.
"Do with me what you wish." The only thing they did was point at me?...What I do?
"The boy will suffice in helping Akyuu's work. As for the rest of you...Keine." Keine stiffens at her name mentioned.
"Relax, this was the fault of a human,a poor human that is clearly too dumb to be left alone. I leave the medical attention at your womanly hands." They turn slowly before not even a split second of throwing a needle at me. They can aim that well at their age? I was in the middle of Keine,Miko and Iku. I caught the needle and inspect it.
"Come boy, we must see Akyuu right away." I grunt as I went past them. I tossed the needle harshly into the ground embedded enough that it won't be easy to get it out. I needed that little outburst as I'm now just irritated. Following along with them inside we went and the just pointed to the left of them.
"Go meet the record keeper Akyuu for evaluation youkai of the Garden." Not much of choice as I headed down the left end hall didn't take long to see a door slightly ajar. Peering inside I saw a petite girl no less than probably 5 years old scribbling away on a scroll. Too absorb in her writing so slipping inside without being notice was easy. For a split second her eyes trail to me before jolting away haphazardly scattering her utensils.
"Ah!...Oh. You're the man that Reimu mentioned in her reports. She did say you're scarily quiet for a powerhouse. I'm Hieda no Akyuu." The positions of this role has change from one power dynamic to another. Akyuu was far younger than I thought was possible unless.
"I reincarnated early 5 years ago. Which brings up my request." That would be? Standing up she rushes over with a fountain pen in hand and attempt to stab my hand the point just snaps off. In my bemusement of her action left me confused.
"You're actually tougher than I initially thought was possible. Then you might be able to lift my curse of Miare." What? I'm well aware of her deal but why?
"This might be my final chance to be set free from the Miare. I'm afraid that my cursed life god is fading fast and I'd rather take her position of immortality than reincarnation. Please! Take me to the Mountain of Miare!" This is a real sick joke. I brush off the tiny girl. Why me?
"Why must it be you? No one else can put Miare to rest peacefully." If I take up her offer now. How long will it take?
"Or you can kill me right here." You're far more calm about death then you should be.
*SWIFF*
A swift motion of my blade to her neck and instantly her demeanor was no longer calm. Slight tears gave me my answer as I sigh. Stowing my knife away she relaxed. Me not having much hesitations to do such a thing seems to be almost involuntary. Like I almost wanted to grant her sickening wish subconsciously. Immortality isn't all what it's crack up to be. It's limbo in a dying world. Stagnation incarnate, no joy to be had if you watch everything around you die.
"I'm asking alot from a youkai of the garden but, if you're her son you must be quite capable to handle yourself." What do I get in return?
"I'll rewrite Yuuka's entry in my books to be more favorable if you help me." Tempting. I refuse to do this as I walk back to the entrance.
"I know you're the Life Dragon." That makes things difficult. Turning around in exasperation as I'm just so tired of it all.
"I know through all my recent reports and an anonymous eyewitness that you're the dragon of life. The public report will push your identity to divinity status. At that point you'll never have a day of peace as long as you walk in the village. The sick,the wounded, the befallen, and many more will come for your aid. All to feel the power of rejuvenation you possess." Really holding this mythical status over my head Akyuu? Cheeky girl. The reality of can't help everyone is right there in my position. I hold life in my hands and all life is precious and fleeting. Its only nature taking what it wants back if someone dies... that's life. As for those that talked about me, Eirin is a thorough person,Aya has the pictures, Reimu her intuition, alot of them would talk with Akyuu if it meant getting dirt on atleast someone.
"Will you?" Fine, but on one condition. I took her by the arm.
"Eh?" You're coming with me to that mountain range right now.
"Phew. Finally we've got everyone accounted for." Reisen check the rest of her supplies has run dry from this incident. At most, people are having headaches, lost of breathing, but no reported deaths or stillness of the heart. Reisen looked at the available helpers and recognize the religious sects and the Garden have helped out. With Medicine's ability it was easier to cleanse the poison out of people.
"Reisen!" The doll calls over the rabbit youkai. Tending to a patient she double check to see if they're fineand runs over.
"What you want Doll?"
"Have you've seen Venus? He left with Futo this morning, but I found Futo on a bamboo cot spilling her guts into a bucket. Ha! That'll teach that pyromaniac not to burn my home." Reisen hung her head down in disappointment but after finding out that Futo was behind this disaster it means the youkai aren't at fault this time.
"You should ask the celestial and Keine. He was with them heading to the main elder building. I heard that Akyuu was being guarded inside." Nearby a few guards run past the rows making a commotion that got the attention of the rabbit. Reisen turned her ears to better hear what was being said.
"Akyuuu!" Her eyes flash red in worry. The guards ran past them before stopping in front of them.
"Miss, have you've seen a small girl in a green kimono?" With Reisen's illusions she appeared to just be a normal village girl. Shaking her head. The man tsk in annoyance but continues away from them both.
"Looks like more trouble." She look down to see Medicine was probably thinking the same thing.
"Venus must be with her right now." Reisen groans sitting down harshly. She turns her gaze at Medicine who was mixing bottles of poison cleanser. They're bitter drinks but they work wonders in getting rid of any poison in someone's bloodstream.
"About Futo." Medicine shrugged still focus on the bottles.
"The taoist don't like us very much as is. They probably thought about using it to killed youkai. Not a bad idea in theory, but it's not practical in the long run. What Futo did was a haphazard attempt at youkai genocide. Problem is that oleander,deathbells, the lillies are airborn killers. You don't burn them to make medicine, you grind them into powders and dilute them. I don't used the flowers there for fire cause the hill always gets downwind. Luckily, Futo only burn the fields and not my shack near the fields. Now that, would be bad cause all those herbs inside are experimental poisons and cleansers. I'm pretty certain some killed the local bug population by accident." Reisen went wide eye at the revelation of what Futo could've accomplished. She silently prayed to the dragon god for blessing them. She thought back to the Akyuu situation.
"We can't leave this place like this." Reisen looked over the helpers and saw the perfect candidate for searching around Gensokyo. She gets up and passes by coughing passerbys until she found the tongue umbrella Youkai tending to some unfortunate children.
"There,so just keep the cloth like that and you'll be fine until you're cleanse alright?" The child nods as Reisen holds out her final oleander cleanser pill. Kogasa takes it and crushes and puts it in some water and offers the child to drink it. Reluctantly the child drinks the bitter liquid with a clear distain but was healthier now judging from how flush they have become.
"You didn't do that to help did you?" Kogasa knew there was a price attach to anything Eientei does for the village. Reisen gave a coy smile as if to mock the idea.
"No no. But I do need you to find Akyuu. She went missing and with you being a village girl...well." Kogasa sighs as she picks up her umbrella.
"Where to?" Reisen shrugs.
"Great, more work...I hate my own kind sometimes."
"AHHHHHH!" I tried to shut out the noise in my ears as we headed past the Garden. One thing I found out early on was that the entire outer areas are just mountains and near the valley south of my home is the Mountain of Maire. I wasn't gonna just head there unless I knew where I was going. I needed Akyuu to point me the way.
"The guards will probably notice I'm gone." Yeah and? Look, you should sort out this thing with your god yourself, not me. I wonder if she's tried asking this to everyone?
"The reports said you was quite aloof but gifted in magic. You're as fast as a Tengu, they didn't mentioned the muteness though. Some reports say you have a great singing voice? You can dance,cook. Most importantly you're hung as a horse some anonymous sources noted." I stopped flying to look concerned at a 5 year old girl saying that to me. She has photogenic memory so that meant that someone really wanted that in writing.
"What? Gonna denied that one pretty boy?"...Not interested. I flew faster to avoid this awkward moment only to see she got pouty at my reaction.
"You're alot less rebellious than the other one." Other one?
"The bandaged man saved me once. I could only describe his skills as otherworldly and sickening. Your face matches his is all." Yeah, all the evidence points to Vector being the "bandaged man". Akyuu points to a unused trail and I slowly made my way there. I felt an immense pulse that cause me to stagger which jostle Akyuu harshly.
"WHOOOA!" She grips harder unto my waist to not fall. Thankfully I landed without issue.
"Oo~kay. Now we follow this trail to the Temple of Miare. Great.
"Banki!" Kogasa needed help and gather some of the village lower youkai. Of course now she was walking around with a corpse and trying to get help from both religious leaders was more difficult then she initially thought.
"Tttttheeeere." Yoshika slowly points an outstretched arm to the red hair dullahan.
"Banki!"
"I heard ya the first time Kogasa. Why are you walking with that rotting corpse?" Yoshika seem to take offense to that.
"I smmell goood. Seigaaa gave me a bath." Ignoring the zombie the other tag along was more surprising.
"Jo'on? What, thought about selling that umbrella to someone or something?" Jo'on reluctantly was forced into helping in order to convince Byakuran that she could leave the Temple freely.
"Not much worth unless you think her funbags are sellable."
"Hey!"
"What did they feed you at the Temple?" Kogasa tries to make herself appear smaller.
"You should look in the mirror miss "tubs of fun"." Jo'on gasp.
"I'm not fat!"
"Well, could've fool me with how you pig out at the temple."
"Girls!" They both stopped to look at Sekibanki.
"Whats the issue again?"
"Akyuu is missing." Sekibanki's eyes widen for a second before something click in her head.
"I saw something headed to the garden I don't know what it was, but it was fast and red. One of my heads was patrolling above the village caught sight of it, but I can't just send them ahead as eventually they'll just disappear or stopped working." They looked between themselves and realize that they'll have to fly towards what is considered forbidden by most sane youkai.
"Yuuka isn't there. So we can head there next or was there anything else?" Sekibanki thought about it until she realize how off the object was flying away from the garden and into the southern mountain range near the border of the barrier.
"They were heading past the Garden and into the mountains actually. I have no idea what's out there plus, it's too close to the barrier so its practically forbidden." They collectively huff as Yoshika got distracted by nearby food cooking.
"Mmmmeeeeeaaaat." Her face contorted into a wide sharp tooth grin as she hop to the stall with Kogasa running after her.
"Not yet Yoshika." Dragging the corpse back to the group with little effort.
"Awwwwwww."
"We'll eat after we get Akyuu back ok?"
"Promise?" Her outstrecth hand flex into a pinky promise position Kogasa gave her a smile as she returned the promise in kind.
"Yes! So lets go." Collectively nodded and took off though they forgot to tell anyone in the village where they were headed.
Following Akyuu was more a pain in the ass than I thought. I should put this lightly. She probably never walked on rough terrain in her previous lives given her role. So I had to pick her up so we're not dragging along at a snails pace. I've gotten to used to bounding cross this place at abnormal speed even more so when I could've just fly straight to the cave by now. But it's best to follow the trail that still exist on this shear cliff face making another sharp turn that would've given anyone else whiplash Akyuu kept hanging on tightly to my back. I notice a cavern and stop.
"It's right up here, the cavern temple of Miare and Miare herself." She hops off and takes off ahead of me. I'm just so tired. Was the regrowth that exhaustive or did I put too much into this?
"Venus?" Yeah I think what's happening is Akyuu is unintentionally taking in my excess magic that I can't hold on to for too long. It feels like that time at the autumn festival. I have no choice but to keep going though. She waited as I stagger inside. I feel depleted as I observe the moss covered blacken walls with carvings of old gods looming over me. I felt another signature but it was so faint that it was more like a candle's last flame of defiance. Heading deeper until it open up to sunlight. The only thing in here was sunlight coming from a giant hole in the cave's ceiling. A boney,frail figure cover in moss and flowers raised itself to meet Akyuu's gaze.
"You've found...a means...to a peaceful end?" A sickly raspy voice came from the figure her eyes glow a bright blue observing her surroundings. Akyuu bows.
"Yes, I believe this man can give you a peaceful death Mother." Miare lurches forward coughing before standing upright off the waterlogged log she layed on. The plants rapidly dying around her as she change forms into younger woman that look like Akyuu. The purple long hair, the bright clothes.
"Then shall we begin?" She raised a hand and from it a skull appear.
"I'm Mother Miare of undeath and reincarnation of Hieda blood. Akyuu you realize what must be done?" Miare held in her other hand a jade dagger with a bronze ornate handle. Sorry Venus, but it's my fight this time.
"Who are you inside that body?" Smiling, it's been a long time since I fought death itself. Getting limber and bouncing on my feet, Venus is quite flexible.
"Just call me Vita Death princess. I'm gonna enjoy sending you back where you belong." Miare smiles at the taunt.
"Ironic that a being of pure life and whimsy resides in such a young body."
"You don't even know half of it lady." Crossing her arms Miare watch as I ready up with Venus's signature weapons, they fit him quite nicely which makes them perfect for me.
"Sorry Kid, but you're not really the killin type."
Draconic will:Birthrite of the Divine
"WHOOOOOOAAA!?"
Summoning magic like mine mixed with the kid's lightning to create the first 5 heads of divinity. Dragons of Earth,Air,Fire,Water,and Metal. The first things to exist on this very planet were dragons. One day, we'll reclaim it for ourselves. Atleast I got to have a little more fun before I go.
"It's Showtime!"
"How much further?" Sekibanki keeps stomping along the worn mountain trail with clear tracks heading up. However, the other's tagging along aren't the most adventurous for the wilderness.
"I'm sticky all over. I wannna gooo back to Seiga." Sekibanki ignores the complaints as she was certain they were close. The fluctuations she felt were getting stronger.
"Powerful souls up ahead. I hope they're tasty." Yoshika quicken her shuffling bumping into Jo'on.
"Careful! I don't want to make my sister more sad then she already is." Sekibanki stopped when they got to cavern the musky scent of decay stained the air around.
"Smeeellss like hommme."
"Eugh, we have to go in there?"
"If Akyuu is here...crap! We forgot to tell everyone!" Kogasa was about to turn around until she was grab by the scruff of her neck and Sekibanki's head floated to meet her gaze.
"Think for a second. Why send us when they're more suited for this type of stuff? They see us as extra baggage and everyone was already handling the lily poison incident. Besides, they probably see it as an opportunity to fix our relationships with the humans. Of course they'll send a lesser youkai to find a small child. This isn't as important as healing the entire village." Sekibanki tilted a little and Kogasa stopped struggling to break free.
"But if it's who we think it is... Don't you think she'll be fine?" Sekibanki let go and continue walking into the cave she blinks for a second until her eyes cause a low level light spell.
"Really handy flashlight and a portable toy to boot. Classy."
"Shut up Jo'on. I've heard it all by now. "Hey wanna spend the night as just a head?" I swear humans are too weird."
"Would you do it?"
"God's no!"
"A shame dullahan. You could've been the town's bicycle." Sekibanki summons another head and flies right upto Jo'on's face and shines a light directly into her eyes causing Jo'on to bowl over in shock and pain.
"Two bit god." Jo'on couldn't see the head sneered at her.
"AHHHH! My eyes! It burns!"
"Eye soup is very tasty." Kogasa picks up her pace to get closer to Sekibanki only to bump into her haphazardly.
"Oof!? Careful we're nea-!?"
"SCCCREEEEEAAAAAAAH" The roars of beasts caught their attention as they turn the corner they saw multiple red dragons floating above a man a gleeful look as he stood above a grounded women with deep purple hair.
"AKYUU!" Kogasa screams out snapping the man from his focus. collasping on his knees.
"What!? They turn to see the little girl hiding behind a pillar.
"Akyuu!" What no-
Vita!? The hell's happening!?
Vita collapses or rather I collapse unto my knees shaking this power away. It was tremendously difficult to stay upright from the pressure. Whatever...THAT WAS!? I don't want to use it unless necessary. Vita? Explain right now!
Well I had my fun reliving the old days. Anyways, I know you're not the killin type kid but she's already on her last legs and you can view it as a mercy killing. I think you held yourself back from you're own birthright.
Not everything is about power. Not many ways to save Miare right now? With her struggling to keep up her appearance, Miare just look like a fragment of what she used to be.
...Sorry kid, if there is another way...wait...Miare is technically living.
Don't know.
Soul transfer or rather just send her power into the child, she'll live her days as both Akyuu and Miare.
I was apprehensive of this idea as if something like what I'm experiencing right now or like Utsuho doesn't sound like fun.
"Mother!" Miare tries to get up but could only lay there coughing as she raise a vacant hand out. Akyuu rushes over to try to pick her up.
"I'm ready child. So, what will you do? Let the one in your heart decide or yourself?" I choose...
Kin!?
"My own way." I can't put Akyuu through such a thing so instead, I hold out my hand.
"Join me in how you see fit Miare. Atleast then, you'll get outta this lonely dark cave." She smiles as she looks at Akyuu.
"He's a fascinating man. Very well, Hieda no Akyuu I'll give you a longer life time and you'll still reincarnate but know that I loved you my daughter." Akyuu watch as she faded into ball of light as it met my hand she transformed into a spear. The ornate red wood with a steel tip. A purple ribbon tied unto it.
The soul of Hieda no Miare first mother of Akyuu has been obtained. She'll probably appreciate being used by someone like you.
"It's not for me." I bowed in front of Akyuu offering the spear to her. She takes it and nearly drops it from the weight.
"Thank you, Venus." She'll grow into it. It's a symbol that she's now free to choose her own path. No longer held by traditions. She is Miare and Miare is her in a way.
"Lets go home." I finally faced the group that barge in here.
"So you can talk?" Now look.
"Let's not dwell on what transpire. The hell was all that?" I didn't know people could turn into weapons." My best guess if you have alot of will but not alot of time left you can probably turn yourself into a tangible object that symbolizes your life. A spear is simple, easy to used, It can be thrown and millions use them more than any other weapon in history. Akyuu and Miare are like an unending spear that kept getting tossed around.
Such is your best guess on the situation.
Did you have to take over my body? Well, at least I'm not tired anymore.
Well about that turns out your diet is...lacking.
Oooooooh...Yeah I should've eaten this early morning.
Never change Venus.
I intend on just being me anyways.
Author notes: The struggle to balance the lighthearted stuff with the heavier themes is like a tightrope made from rose thorns. I know what a cop out why not describe the fight between Miare and Vita? In this case time and effort and I think just steamrolling and already near dead god isn't interesting. Besides, we get plenty of fights with my poorly done details of them as is.
