> Are we pro enough to sense anything from B-C regarding her intent?
> Discretely try to spot anything that looks like a Harvest Pagoda.
> Brilliant-Castle is keeping everything about herself hidden, expertly so. Still, you are able to pick up a few
concepts here and there from her stance and demeanor. There is her sense of
superiority, an aura of
manipulation and a razor-edged feeling of
anticipation.
> Pagodas and pavilions emerge out of the clouds all around you as Brilliant-Castle leads you out of the garden. They are grand and opulent, certainly, but it is the gods and spirits that catch your attention as sights you have never seen before.
> Animals the size of a man wreathed in coin and fruit, ethereal shapes through whom blue fire streams like liquid, rotating collections of masks on mechanical skeletons, women in ceremonial garb, their faces obscured with prayer strips, winged beetles with shells of pure diamond, it is like something out of a truly fanciful dream. And yet, you can feel attention on you as the truly alien being in their midst.
> You are completely disoriented. There is no way for you to identify the Harvest Pagoda.
>Did Youmu catch that? Convey "Caution" or "Wariness".
>Look around. "Where in Heaven are we?"
> "
Gods, Aichi," says Youmu, quiet enough for only you to hear, "maybe one of them can turn me back!"
> "You landed very close to the central hub," says Brilliant-Castle, "from here one can travel in any of the four Compass directions to the ministries of the North, East, South and West. The Dragon Palace is nearby, as is the Palace of Day and Night, but that's off-limits at this time. That is the Central Ministry of the Four Seasons there, the one with the four pagodas, and you can see the dome of the Orrery coming up on our left."
