"Only one of many blessings that would be appreciated from the Fortunes but I think Fukorokujin seemed the most appropriate now," she laughed. "All the strength in the world won't make a difference if we do not have direction and guidance."

"Very true." the Phoenix agreed. "Especially with a threat like this. As maddened as they may be, we do face warriors with lifetimes of experience. It will take more than strength of arms to defeat them."

She frowned on that note. "That's something I haven't considered...I suppose they could only do so much when trapped in eternity with one thing in mind..."

"Countless years on the battlefield." she nodded. "It is difficult to imagine everything they may be capable of."

"Certainly not an opponent that I've ever been trained to fight but the same could be said about all samurai gathered here, so everyone is in an equally difficult position...But I suppose enough of that, shall we pray, then?" She said as she brought her hands together.

"Hai." she agreed and led them through the prayers. Miwako was grateful for her knowledge of the Spirit Realms, but wish she had more.

Wasako followed her lead in prayers, seeing as she was the shugenja. It was unlikely her prayers could be heard so easily but she certainly felt if she concentrated enough, there would be a greater chance that her message would be passed to the Heavens. Perhaps this concentration will lead to wisdom, or if it might just be found when she finds her mind elsewhere. She should just have confidence this will eventually happen.

After the prayers were offered, she would bow to the shrine before turning her attention to Isawa. "I should perhaps get on with my day and let you do the same but thank you for the conversation, Isawa-san. You've instill much confidence and hope for the challenge ahead."

She nodded. "I was thinking that as well. Before we part, would you offer a prayer to Bishamon? I am certain we will need his strength."

She raised her brows at the notion and nodded. "That is perhaps a good idea as well. Ultimately, my contribution in this time might be with my sword and I will need the Fortune of Strength to guide me."

She motioned towards the shrine. "Please, Mirumoto-sama."

She followed with Miwako's lead toward the shrine, giving a glance at her surroundings as she walked. Even if she wasn't going to see the frontlines anytime soon, she supposed that those who will be fighting could potentially use the spiritual support too.

The statue of Bishamon seemed larger than it actually was. A strong warrior, armed with a naginata.

"Here, Mirumoto-sama, the Fortune of Strength."

"It seems it has been a long while with Bishamon," she chuckled softly as she looked to the statue before looking to Miwako for her lead. "Shall we hope that strength finds itself in great abundance to all honourable samurai here?"

Isawa Miwako · **Joined:** Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:21 am **Posts:** 590

"Please, take the lead." she nodded.

"I shall do my best..." she said before she began to take her lead on prayers. Her offering didn't really have much in words, merely a clap of her hands before putting them together to offer the Fortune her prayer. There didn't need much to be said that was already and she was sure that the Fortune would be able to read her intent alone. It would be up to Bishamon if he thought they were worthy of his blessings.

Miwako followed Wasako. Bishamon's protection would be invaluable in the battles to come. Any prayers that might bring the Firtune's blessing upon the Empire were equally invaluable.

After a moment of reference, Wasako's prayers were finished and she slowly opened her eyes then waiting for Miwako to finish with her own prayers. She did understand that shugenja prayers would typically take longer.

Once she was finished, she did bow politely. "Thank you for your suggestion, Isawa-san. I think I at least could walk away feeling more confident, regardless if Bishamon wishes to smile on me."

"May the fortunes bless us all." She bowed. "I enjoyed our morning together, Mirumoto-sama."

Mirumoto Wasako · **Joined:** Sun Apr 05, 2020 4:56 pm **Posts:** 945

She gave a pleased smile and repeated Miwako's words, "Hai, may the Fortunes bless us all. Have yourself a pleasant day, Isawa-san."

With that said, she went back into the rain and went on with her day.
