The dead divulged at sea's shore: bereft, they haunt night waters. Buried ashore, they would wake to death's work.

Rest rites elude them.

Some among you wield fire unending. Lend light. The rest may release candles, salt and incense at sea.

If we do nothing of righteousness here, let us achieve this. What of the other dead?

( ooc: won't someone think of Akira/Lily/Anduin's corpses???? Threadjack away, you've got this. )

Hence, we require the sorcery of fire wielders. For flame unending.

[scrapgege]

Would that still make the flame burn underwater? That would be some magic indeed.

[downswing]

We are among skilled company.

[scrapgege]

I have never met the Fire Master if they exists, but even if they did, I don't think their flames would resist the Water Master.

Whoever these people are who can make fire burn so, they are worthy of praise.

[downswing]

There is ability past mere cultivation.

[scrapgege]

The Fire Master and the Water Master are elemental gods. I should hope they're more powerful than cultivators.

There's this young lady with the dragon, isn't there? Is her dragon magical? Can it make flames like that?

[downswing]

...well thought. Perhaps to plead with her.



( Could it be....... Xie Lian.... has done something right??? )

[scrapgege]

[+1 approval from Lan Wangji, oh wow, something terrible is going to happen soon to offset this.]

Do you want me to ask her?

[downswing]

Do not ask to brush lips first.

[scrapgege]

..... Why would I do that? I'm not asking to borrow power for myself, and besides, I don't think she has any to give that I could borrow anyway.

[downswing]

Unpredictable appetites seize you.

[scrapgege]

No, they don't! Why would you even say that?

[downswing]

To explain your various misfortunes.

[scrapgege]

The problem with my luck is a curse, not... that!

[downswing]

...elaborate.

[scrapgege]

I have... I have two curse shackles on my body.

[Sigh. He didn't want to talk about this, but fine, let's talk about this.]

Back in my world, they are gone, broken, but when I arrived here, they were back. One of them limits my power, and the other impedes my luck.

[downswing]

Show me, on next encounter.

[scrapgege]

... Why?

I mean, i can if you want to see them, but you won't be able to take them off.

[downswing]

You do not know my capabilities.

[scrapgege]

Those were put on me by the Heavenly Emperor himself. Do you really believe they'd be so easy to remove that a cultivator not yet come to immortality could do it? If that were the case, I would already have removed them myself.

[downswing]

Do you suffer to show them?

[scrapgege]

You can look at them if you want to.

[downswing]

I choose to.

[scrapgege]

You don't have to be so solemn about it.

I've had those for hundreds of years and it took a lot of power to break them. I'm pretty used to their effects.

[downswing]

You distrust the odds of my success.
