Addressed to all:

Now that things have settled again after the recent incident, I want to make an offering.

As a child, and into my adult years, I underwent spiritual training on a daily basis to forge a bond with the ancient gods of my land. The purpose of this training was to unlock myself to the world, and gain its wisdom in the process. Though it was a long process, I was successful.

In times of struggle and strife, it can be difficult to figure out where one should turn. It's easy to feel abandoned, and harder to feel united, and you may question if there is any care in the grand scheme of the universe. No one person won't ask themselves if they should take their sufferings and bottle them inside, or reveal them to the world with the fear of judgment. To take hammer to the wall that shields the vulnerable heart is no easy task. Some don't want to break it. Others need help.

To insert an opinion into this, I no longer trust in the higher beings on this realm who brought us here to be of any help. They want us to restore their color, but don't care to grant us any protections in danger. So we must help ourselves, and each other, in times of disillusionment. I've come to feel very strongly about this following the sirens kidnapping.

The purpose of this posting is such: I want to offer myself to others as a spiritual guide. If you feel yourself conflicted, or feeling you have lost your path, or if you want to pray with someone beside you, then you may request me. I ask for nothing in return other than your patience and belief. More so in yourself than me.

If you have questions you may place them here. Comments and discussion into these topics are also accepted.

never made an ad for your cult?

kidding, kidding

It's not a cult!

[ cults have tried to kill her, please no bullying. ]

Are you even going to consider the offer or are you here to tease?

yes yes

and i'm here
aren't i??
though i'm not too sure what the praying actually does but if you feel like it'll help then good for you

Prayer helps to re-balance the mind, body and spirit together into a single unit. Often one or more of these factors will slip away for various reasons. It's meditation on a deeper level.

so are we praying to your gods too then?

Not necessarily. Prayer can be applied as even a passing of spiritual energy from one person to another. To send yourself through the unseen realm and reach someone you want to help.

i think your definition of praying is kind of different from what i thought it would be??

So can i pray to someone from home too? [Because she’s going to pray to Minamoto, it’ll be awesome.]

Correct.

I suppose the mistake is mine for rooting my message too much in the spiritual. Prayer is of course used commonly to connect to the forces we cannot see, meaning the divine. Yet we can also pray to send our thoughts, our energy, across different realms.

so it’s like a radio then
That’s kind of weird
But useful?? How do you know if someone else has gotten the message though?

You won't get any concrete proof that they received it. It's more like a feeling.

[That doesn’t sound like it works........ but Shiho also doesn’t want to outright say this so]

I guess it’s worth a try
I’m in

[ yes!! ]

I'm glad to know you're open minded to it. I'll be happy to stay with you through it all, until you feel satisfied.

You really have a lot of time today huh

[But she does appreciate it! She’s also just.....herself, as well. Sorry, Zelda.]

I always have time to help others. And if I don't, I make it.

[ suffer n_n ]

[How dare]

you're still taking time for yourself though right?

[ nope. ]

I do my best.

[ technically not a lie. ]

that was supposed to be a yes or no question
And that's not a yes

You have me there.

[ she's not used to having people care about her so much. a princess is the lady in service to the people, never the other way around. ]

I'm enjoying the peace while we have it. I've been sewing again as the temperature has begun to dip. We will need to reevaluate what we wear if it gets any colder.

[ that still isn't a 'yes' or a 'no' but it's better than a non-answer, right? ]

[Never let her know that. Taking care of oneself is even more important, as far as she's concerned, when so many people counted on you.]

huh
well that sounds pretty good actually
do you like sewing?

I do. It's always nice to make something with ones hands. Sadly so much thread and clothing is still without color, so anything I can make it a drab gray.

well if the colour ever comes back it might turn out to be really colourful
At least grey always goes with grey

[ snort. ]

True. Right now I'm fashioning a cloak. If you need something yourself you can let me know.

[ "hey zelda maybe you should advertise your sewing--"

"but spirituality" ]

really?
a cloak might actually be pretty useful
Can i have a cute one?

Certainly. Though don't expect too much. I have to reuse a lot of fabric from older garments after washing them.

I'll need to take your measurements, but I can finish it in the next month or two.

Well i guess it’s the thought that counts? I’m sure it’ll be cute no matter what
I believe in you!!

I can help with the sewing too if you lend me a needle
