"Strength is definitely Water. Just be aware of all Water may grant you, don't focus solely on Strength. Would a bow using warrior just inspect the bow, or make sure all his arrows are good, as well?"

"Without good arrows, no good shots."

The Budoka thinks over everything.

"Ok. So what do I say then? Normally I concentrate hard and ask, 'Oracles, Dragon, and Spirits of Water, grant me strength. Instead I should say what? Grant me blessing?"

It wasn't often that she prayed to a Celestial Dragon, admittedly there were already the numerous Fortunes and the Tao to contemplate, so she was pleased to have the direction of Miwako. Perhaps it was something she took for granted when it came to the elements themselves? She did her best to follow along and offer her prayers to the Dragon.

"Water is cleansing." the Phoenix added. "It washes away so much and brings peace and calm."

"Grant you blessing is good. Unless you are planning to study them more, it's probably best. Or mention the task you want their blessing for, and let them decide how to bless you."

"So for now, Bless me in this fight?"

"Perfect. Wait, fight? What fight?"

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 13, 2020 5:48 am

"The army outside the city? The ghost men? Dead Emperor who killed Living Emperor?"

"I knew *cough* they were coming, not that they had already arrived."

"Distant, not in range of anything yet. Soon though. ="

Kayou watches the storm, wondering what sort of Omen weather like this is.

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 13, 2020 2:57 pm

Mogami having finished her prayer, walks to check if the nun had finished hers as well. Seeing her looking up at the sky, Mogami takes that as a yes and approached.

"Good morning, sensei. Very strange weather, no?"

Kayou · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:51 pm **Posts:** 419

"Hai, Matsu-san," nodded Kayou. "This one does not know what is foretold beyond great violence."

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 13, 2020 3:03 pm

Mogami watches the sky as well.

"Perhaps with all the recent prayers, the Dragons have decided to come pay their temple a visit as well."

Kayou · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:51 pm **Posts:** 419

Kayou laughs. "That would be a sight to see, Matsu-san!"

She turns to face the younger woman. "And are you well, Matsu-san? Have you eaten rice today?"

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 13, 2020 3:08 pm

"Imagine having one of them land in front of the gates and unleashing their heavenly gifts upon the enemy. Truly it would be a story for the ages."

She nods.

"The three of us had a meager meal this morning. Best to not fight on an empty stomach, nor on one too full. And yourself?"

Kayou · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:51 pm **Posts:** 419

"Hai," she nods. "This one fears this day will be full of violence. Are you and your men steeled for the events to come?"

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 13, 2020 3:13 pm

"I believe I have prepared Tsuruga and Fuwa adequetly for the struggles ahead. Of the rest....Oh. I did not tell sensei the news. The governor has saw fit to have me conscript and train some of the heimen here and placed me as their commander for now. We are to take up the defense of a section on the east wall, near the gate."

Kayou · **Joined:** Wed Apr 01, 2020 2:51 pm **Posts:** 419

Kayou nods. "A great honor, this one is certain that you will do your dojo and family proud."

Matsu Mogami · **Posted:** Mon Apr 13, 2020 3:31 pm

She gives a nodding bow at the praise.

"And a great responsibility. I was thinking, since they are all heimen, what we discussed yesterday...I would be honored if sensei would attach her self to us as the units spiritual guide."
