i am well aware that she is heavily guarded; unfortunately, i am unable to initiate contact or meet with her due to my standing as a "minor" goddess. but the first time we spoke was during one of those instances where she had escaped their attention, and so i have little doubt that she possesses a stronger will than many would give her credit for.

though now that i think about it, i do wonder about the circumstances that caused her to reincarnate.

[Something or someone got through all those defenses at least once before, but she's never heard it come up whenever people talk about the attack on her temple or strengthening the wards that guard it. Maybe she needs to spend even more time in the library than she originally thought.]

but that is definitely another angle of inquiry worth investigating. my initial thought is that the organization behind this required a pathway to the far shore that would be discreet and unobtrusive - if their god is not one that has been recognized by the heaven's administration as lady amaterasu suggested, then they would need another way to access the heavens outside of the use of temples or shrines. lady amaterasu also implied the incident at the moon viewing was also likely the work of this rogue god, so perhaps by interfering with whatever ritual they were attempting, we have also incidentally destroyed their pathway to the heavens.

but sadly this is all mere speculation. there is so much we do not know; it is impossible to make any kind of conclusion at this point in time.

[And that is so! frustrating!! for the girl who is used to having all the answers.]

Got it, so we have to elevate you to the higher status along the way. Get you more followers, it's been a while since I helped another god with prayers anyway.

[ IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE, but that's something he can do. Investigations are not his forte- it's doubtful he could come up with a helpful idea on the brain side of things. But give him something to do, like rising her status, or whatever, and he'll do it happily ]

This also raises an interesting question - how gods are born. If the Heaven's merely "recognizes" them, but they can and do exist outside of it. How many other extremely minor gods are there, how much of them are disgruntled of being denied the official title. [ And home in this pretty place ]

Amaterasu assassination could be part of this plot- or it could have been an unrelated enemy, working separately. Perhaps someone who was around when that occurred could shed some light at the circumstances that surrounded it. I could discreetly ask around if you want.

that is certainly the most straightforward method of gaining an audience with her, but i fear the time it will take to do so may be time that we do not have.

[The cult will act again, it's just a question of when. The concern she does not mention, though, is the question of what will happen to her followers in this world when she returns to Hyrule? Is it right for her to seek their belief when she knows she will have to leave them eventually? She doesn't know.]

for now, asking her shinki and those she takes counsel from may be our best bet on getting some answers, though i doubt they will give up their secrets easily. you are more sociable than i am, so perhaps you will have better luck in that regard. i would suggest lady suijin as a good place to start; she seems calm and reasonable, as well as sympathetic to our plight as foreigners to this world. lords fuujin and raijin are said to be a bit more hot-headed, though i have not spoken with either of them personally.

i would appreciate any help you might offer. i realize this must be a lot to wake up to.

[sorry... about that...]

[ Doing the talking, that can he do. It's a very clear direction he can follow. ]

Got it. I'll be on a lookout for them on the next official gathering. But I'm also going to find out my chances of meeting Lady Suijin outside of those.

Is there any particular detail you'd like to know more of, or something I should avoid saying?

[ He indeed just wake up, and while rushing off to do and plan something is exactly up his alley- he'd rather not screw up by asking the wrong question ]

her temple is in the central district, though she seems to spend most of her time on the near shore. i have left a letter with the messenger at her gates and eventually gotten a response, however.

that said, i doubt she knows any more about this cult than we do, but finding out what exactly happened to lady amaterasu before our number began arriving in the heavens is definitely a point of interest. perhaps frame it in such a way that you wonder if this organization was responsible for her reincarnation a decade prior, especially given the resurgence of antagonism against her? that may yield better results than simply asking her directly.

also, try to be respectful. she seems kind enough, but i doubt she would appreciate flirtations and teasing from a foreign upstart.

[:|]

I will look for a good opportunity to chat, as well as a topic to break the ice. I imagine showing up one day at her doors and asking about such dark day on their recent history might not get me an answer. Especially since I'm a foreign upstart in the first place

[ :|| ]

You just had to add the last one, right?

[ He doesn't mean the "foreign upstart" he means the DO NOT FLIRT, like he knows that... or so he wishes he could say. Because let's be honest, he would probably try to do something like this if not for this warning. ]

yes, i did.

[She knows you, Caster.]

i thank you for your cooperation in this endeavor.

[ It's like she's giving him directions and orders, even if they are like this it's still good ]

It gave me a good chuckle. Rest assured I will follow your instruction's to a T.

[ And since they conversation not always was immediate and time passed between some of the messages, it's gotten dark sometime ago ]

Sweet dreams, princess.

[Ah, that phrase... certainly has new connotations now, doesn't it.]

thank you. i imagine you are quite through with sleeping for a while, so have a good night.
