Hachi, after actually having a chance to spend time neither sleeping nor marching for the first time in days, finds his way to the Phoenix Embassy. It hadn't been easy, but he managed. Once he made it into the entrance, he looked around for Kashiwagi or another high ranking Phoenix.

And there he was making contact and relaying notes from the journey.

Miwako had found her way as well. The journey had left her weary and bedraggled, but she still seemed alert and energetic.

Somgai was in the embassy as well, having just put his daughter down for a nap in a nearby room. He stood close to Miwako, drinking in everything with wide eyes.

"Good to see so many have made it safely after the march," he said as they entered.

"There is something we should discuss." Miwako spoke. "With the battle, the evacuation and the march, I didn't have an opportunity to report to the rest of you, regarding the rain."

Somgai's gaze drifts back to those around him, watching their reactions.

"Is this about the possible dragon-like creature in the sky?" he responded.

"Hai." she nodded. "The day before the battle, I used my spiritual ability to approach Tengoku, to directly ask the Water Dragon for guidance regarding the imbalance that has inhibited our connection to the kami. It took some time, to communicate with it and convince it, but it agreed."

Hachi drifts closer, curious what is being said.

"You feel it don't you, Hachi-san?" she looked at him. "Within the rain, the balance of water has been restored."

"I do feel it, yes," he replied.

"I don't know how long this might last." she added. "Or, how far the rains extend. But, I do know my connection to the water kami has been diminished in exchange. It feels similar to how it felt before my Tensai training."

"That is quite a sacrifice," he said with concern. "I pray we make the best of it."

"If it helps heal the Empire, I can bear the loss." she nodded solemnly. "There is one additional thing.

She lifted her forearms to show tattoos representing swirls of air, then tilted her neck to show another representing the ocean.

"It appears my training with the Togashi has finally been awakened."

"Congratulations?" he replied unsure if this is a good thing or bad.

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

"It's unexpected." she admitted. "I thought I had left before completing their training. Regardless, it appears I am on a new path."

"Well then embrace it, do we know how long these rains will last or will they follow us if we... when we have to relocate," he responded.

She shook her head. "The Dragon of Water was not very forthcoming. I didn't know what to expect. It does seem to be following us, though."

"Of course, why be specific when cryptic works so well," he said dryly. "Well I am thankful for what it has done thus far."
