((So like. Fuck waiting. I'mma take control here and actually get things a moving.))
((Incoming Time fuck is inevitable))
As time passed, silence covered the shrine. Everyone had either gone to bed, or had departed the shrine.
Eventually, the darkness began to subside, light slowly brightening the dark night sky. Time moving ever slowly forward.
The Dawn had come.
As the sky changed from black to blue, the sleeping immortal began to stir.
She shifted in place a bit, letting out a few quiet groans. As she rolled over to her left side, she opened her eyes slowly.
Huh...where- oh that's right, I'm at the shrine... She muttered in her mind. She blinked a few times, alerting her tired eyes to the scenery around her.
The world was dimly lit with a pale blue. The colors were duller, and there was not the slightest sign of movement. With a weak sigh, the immortal pushed herself up to a sitting position.
"S'pose it's a good sign that morning came..." she mumbled as she scratched her head. Now more aware of her surroundings, she gazed around, looking for anything out of the ordinary.
Nothing.
Everything remained still and silent. Not even a single fairy was around.
Mokou frowned slightly as she lazily rose to her feet. She stretched her arms high into the air, taking in a deep breath as she did so. As she exhaled, she lowered her arms, placing her hands on her hips for a moment. After examining her surroundings once more, she let her arms fall to her sides and she sauntered around to the front of the shrine.
The large torii stood silently, the horizon stained with a pinkish color far off in the distance. Gensokyo's landscape was still shrouded in darkness, the features of the land undistinguishable from where the human stood.
Mokou let out a slight sigh of relief. So far, nothing seemed to be wrong. Mokou turned her gaze towards the shrine.
It, like everything else, was also silent. It stood strongly amongst the many trees that bordered it. It appeared as if not a soul was inside it.
For a moment, Mokou pondering heading inside to check if everyone was alright, but she shook the idea from her head. Hesitantly, she turned back towards the torii.
The immortal recalled the assigned locations she had given the party last night. No one seemed to comment on them, but Mokou couldn't force them to go one place or another. If worst came to worst, she'd need to venture Gensokyo's entirety all by herself. She frowned at the thought, but shook her head. She turned her attention to the darkened landscape that stretched out from the shrine.
"I might as well get ta move on..." She mumbled. As she was about to call forth her wings, she recalled the people that were sleeping in the shrine. She gazed back at the quiet shrine, a frown on her face. With a light sigh, she leapt into the sky, her hands in her pockets.
With simplicity, the immortal rose into the sky. Once she was far above the ground, she looked out at the horizon. It seemed brighter from where she 'stood' in the sky. With a deep breath, she began to fly off in the direction of the human village.
As she moved across the early morning sky, the cool nightly breeze blew past her, chilling her slightly. She ignored the cold with ease. She was used to it. The heat and the cold.
As the wind ruffled her long flowing hair, thoughts began to slow through her mind.
Hmmm...I wonder how Keine is doin'... She said in her head. As she recalled her friend's behavior, she chuckled slightly.
She'll prolly end up lecturing me, wondering why I suddenly disappeared without a warning She mused, a faint grin on her face.
As the sky began to brighten, and the immortal came closer, she could make out an outline on the ground. With each second, she got closer and closer, the scenery becoming less blurred.
Finally, she was close enough to see the Human Village.
((And YJ, if it makes you any happier, I read through the first post again))
((I looked everywhere and couldn't find an answer, so I'll ask it now. Those who used their chaotic connections, they are able to manifest their energy correct? How would said energy manifest itself?))
