[ It's unfortunate that the godly duties calls him away so soon after the dreams. Maybe there are things they have not talked yet, maybe he'd just like some more time to hold her. Maybe he just doesn't want to leave her alone. Thank you Minako for existing again.
But while he's pretty far physically, there is this whole, joys of internet to keep in touch.
He starts by sending her random photos of places he visits. Sometimes it's a beautiful town illuminated by lights, shining all more brightly thanks to the snow. Other times it's a forest and lakes covered in snow. And then people in random places. Or a string of sheep going side a road.
Sometimes it's just photos, but often there is a comment attached. ]
"We have to come here someday, together. This town changed a lot since I was here last time, and I'd like to explore it's secrets with you", "It's beautiful but it's so freezing here! Crystal clear air though.", "I found every one last of the sheep. Do you know how well these critters play hide and seek in the winter?", "Wish you were here"
[ There is a brief pause in photos (and selfies, of course, there are selfies, though not enough of them to be truly obnoxious) and the next message has more photos than usual, and a more somber tone. ]
My dear Zelda,
This is more of a formal matter, but when I compiled my findings I decided it's best to send them right away. I've visited several shrines of Tuatha Dé Danann, they were gods of this island when I lived here, and we have some of them at the Far Shore, well, those taking the mantles of them that is.
The old faith is still alive here, albeit not strong, mostly forgotten. I found the shrines dedicated to big names like Eochaid All-Father, also known as The Dagda is going strong. Angus Óg, Mórrígan, my father Lugh- even if few followers exist, they are calling their names. And names of many others.
However, there were familiar curses I spotted at some of the shrines. [ Here is where the photos of bad luck charms come to be relevant. The same they had found around their own shrines during New Year, and earlier. Surprise, the cult is acting even so far away. ] I've destroyed all of those I came across, but there is a certain pattern I've noticed. They target gods only present in the Far Shore. Shrines to Macha or Aengus Óg were free of them. Not so much with the Dagda's or Áine's.
I will be looking into this further and update as I learn more.
starting from 3th February and onwards
