Secrets of the Clouded Prithvi

[Kynim]

The potentially non-canon adventures of a wandering Kitsune are chronicled here. The words are scribed hastily- lightly, with far less intent than before. 

"..and who's gonna know you, like me..?"

The air is dense here; and with the warnings of those I've listened to, I walk into the spirit realm aware of the risk- and aware of the reward. Dyaus told us three to find him, some day, but my brothers have other things to take care of, I'm sure.. and besides...

You gave me a key, didn't you? So here I am now, in a realm I shouldn't be- if only to tell you of how far it is that I've come. To find out the secrets of the Prithvi lineage.. to find out where you went, to finish this story. Because you left it.. unfinished. You did exactly what I would have done- selfless, generous, to try and save a life- just as I have, and in that moment, I wonder if I came to understand you more than ever before, father.

But you still rest as the final enigma of my life. For when mother disappeared and my sister died, you were forced out of the realm. I suspect your physical body was forced to dissipate, with the magic of your final wish expended. I don't know if mother ever told Kousei and Rudra that would happen.. but I know they both say hi; a handwritten letter from Kousei that I'll deliver to you says as much.

I have grown much, even more with every year, in order to appease the life I've tried to live. Countless foes have tried to undo the internal harmony and rhythm that I hold dear, leaving me with a body laden with curses and weakness that I must find the strength to press on with- with every passing moment, it begs me; just stop, just stop, just stop...


But I have much more to do in this world before I'm ready to do so. I have harmony, love, and joy by my side. I want to show you all of these things I achieved...
But if the spirit realm is to take hold of me, I want this to be a living record of my journey; for the Cloudsage Compendium will return to the physical world in three years time, with or without me. 

But for now.. I'll keep looking for traces of you. I'll work on my projects where I can find the time- and space- and I'll find every last clue of you, until..

Until I can open a portal directly before you, and force you to face me. For you forged me into the being that I am, all that I aspire to be, and you deserve to see me as much as you owe me answers. Friends I have shared burdens of death with- and those I have begged to see my purview have all aligned with my vision.


... I'm holding off a wedding just to find you, you know. Because I want to tell you all of the secrets I've come to learn about the world, that you may tell me some of yours.


The third secret is
The Answer can always be found, the result of the Almosts
But sometimes the Answer is multiple answers-
Small fragmented pieces of a puzzle yet to be put together
For the answer is never one thing, nor is a lifetime of experience, memories
Yet sharing those memories, experiences, romances, and adventures with others
Is the greatest Answer you could find in your quest to vanquish the Almosts in your life.
