Apocalypse Awakening - A Touhou + Left4Dead zombie rush fic thing...
Esifex:
Using your own historical/reference notes there, I'm going to assume Kowasu and Kanako forgot about the Shaman succumbing to his own handiwork. All there in the manual!
♛ Apher-Forte:
What do you mean?
Ok this is just assuming, but erm...
you do mean about Kowasu being sealed by the Priest's invoking of heavenly beings? The Priest still does not recognize Kowasu at that stage, or rather, it is likely the Priest doesn't even care now.
or if you are talking about the shaman references:
There is no shaman, Kowasu is the one who took Kanako inside her, instead of the Shaman.
The reference was meant to clearly define the lines of who used to do what and were able to commit what sort of tricks and stuff.
Kowasu is a greater and older God, hence having the ability to eat other Gods is what she does best. (also cause she is a Toad, and Kanako Hachisaka here is a worm, an insect eaten by a Toad as nature dictated, although she used to be on par with Kowasu, but since Kowasu ate the fears and anger of her people, she became more powerful) Kanako clearly has not did the same during her replacement by Kanako Yasaka.
(Just a note, Kanako Hachisaka uses a different Kanako in writing) 八坂 可奈子 instead of Yasaka's Kanako which is 八坂 神奈子
Oh, found an entry on the priest, after checking out the name
Yes, it is a real person I based on
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En_no_Gyoja
En no Gyōja (役行者), or En no Ozunu (役小角), born 634, was a Japanese ascetic and mystic, traditionally held to be the founder of Shugendō,[1] a syncretic religion incorporating aspects of Taoism, Shinto, esoteric Buddhism (especially Shingon Mikkyō and the Tendai sect but some Zen sects have also been heard of) and traditional Japanese shamanism. He is venerated as a bosatsu (a bodhisattva, or pursuer of enlightenment) Jinben Daibosatsu (神変大菩薩).
although the timelines certainly did not match, consider this half fiction, half true then.
Esifex:
Erm. Maybe I should've marked it with a spoiler or something, but I dunno how to do that yet >.<
But I meant, Kanako not recalling the bit about the master of the Poison Insect succumbing to the very insect they created.
This is just a shot in the dark. Wild guessing, if you will. Do go on, please, it's very interesting.
And I hope you haven't forgotten about Eirin >.<
♛ Apher-Forte:
Well, that is actually after my re-reading my personal mistake, I think it is more to the fact that the Poison Insect was an explanation of Kanako(Hachisaka) herself rather than whatever else was happening atm. I guess I would review this chapter, it was written somewhat hastily so I might be dumbed because of it. I am moving atm to a new place so yeah, busy~
[K]KoaMeow:
Awesome story. I love the way you write things.
