Prayer #34 Write-in for Tanabata:

Forseti temple in Heligoland got wreaked by a small gang of teenagers. It's completely trashed much to the dismay of the fisherman that visits often. After having his fish saved he doesn't want the island to lose Forseti's blessing. It's too much work for one old man to handle. His granddaughter, that has come all the way from Japan to visit, suggests making a tanabata wish and to hang it up in the temple. So, with his granddaughter's help, he wishes for the temple to be cleaned up back to it's respectable state.

Prayer #36 Follow-up to 34:

The ayakashi that is causing all of the ruckus around Heligoland looks like a ram with one broken horn, and runs around with several groups of teenagers encouraging them to wreck any sort of building with a bit of prestige to it, which included Forseti's temple. They will need to track the ayakashi down by the trail of damage it's leaving in its wake.

Prayer #35:

Forseti is also the god that "stills all strife" in people's bonds! Unbeknownst to Aymeric, the temple-trashing teens actually started their messy activities because of a misunderstanding between one of the boys and a friend who didn't participate. That friend saw the fisherman's Tanabata wish and asked about it, wishing on the same paper that Forseti might repair the misunderstanding. The prayer was thus literally buried by the trashing of the temple. Time to set things right!

Prayer #37 Follow-up to 35:

With the advice given a success, the teenagers and the wishmaker seem to be at peace with each other! However, there's still something lurking around. Turns out it's a slippery naga ayakashi; time to track it down ~~AND HIT IT WITH A FRIENDSHIP BEAM~~ and ensure no more misunderstandings happen this time around!

Prayer #38 Follow-up to 36 and 37:

Our favorite fisherman, Frisch Singer, has gone out for his normal work and then a storm kicked up all of a sudden! Unbeknownst to the trio in Heligoland, it is a Draugen - the ghost of a man that died at sea - style ayakashi. The granddaugter makes a second wish, that her grandfather will come home safely! Little does she realize it will take the trio fighting a monster to bring him home.

Kairi watches where Aymeric's gaze goes, to the adult who is speaking about the daughter... and then she gasps visibly, her hands going up to her mouth. Were she not concealed slightly by the Far Shore powers, the rest of the people around her might have noticed and alerted their prey.

Perched on the back of the parent in question, a very tiny ayakashi clings to the shirt. It looks like a snake body, long and lean, that can cling to the belt and loops of the parent's pants. However, it also has more of a... not snake-like top to it that confuses Kairi as much as it disgusts her. It seems to be part bird and part human, or maybe it's just the way the shifting blighted 'skin' of the ayakashi appears. Still, it turns to her and hisses.

In her shock, Kairi unleashes another cut with a soft "BORDERLINE!" but makes sure that it's the special kind - the 'only cut what you want' kind, so that it just affects the ayakashi. It does manage to snip the creature from the human's clothes, but then it falls to the ground and starts to zoom off.

All she can do is point and run after it, the long way around, hoping maybe Aymeric and Goten will get to it first. She can't Rend it, after all, so all she did was stun it a little.

"For the love of the Fury-!" He hates when he's right about the matters that involve despair and misfortune. Of course it wasn't going to be so easy to catch but that just makes Aymeric sprint off to try and catch it at the pass. There's so much metal around that it would be easy to use them as projectiles but there's a sliiiight problem with that idea: using his power in public and suddenly showing up to a group of people on the NEAR SHORE is more than likely gonna cause a panic.

So he does the next best thing: Provoke it and get it away from the market. The idea is to try and not cause a big stir.

"Come after a opponent who can give you a challenge!" he calls out.

It's so fast! But not fast enough that Goten can't keep track of it. He may not be able to catch it, but he can keep it in his sights. Maybe he should have brought a pair of gloves after all. Patting his poor ignored stomach once more, he dashes after Aymeric and Kairi.

Naturally Kairi is already kicking things off with her borderlines! But this time, even when it cuts into the ayakashi, the creature is still speeding off. He blinks a bit, rubbing his eyes before looking at the creature again. Is he seeing things or did the naga just get slightly bigger?

Lifting his hands up, he rubs at his eyes before kicking off the ground and flying after the ayakashi. Luckily it seems that Aymeric's provoke is working. The small, but slightly bigger, creature is chasing after his god and out of the market.

"Aymeric, be careful!" He calls down, right hand glowing with ki.

Kairi loops around until she's near the people - standing between them and the Naga. In all of the chaos of trying to target Aymeric, Kairi puts up the wall form of the borderline in front of her with a quick push of her hand. The light blue glows against her face and in an attempt to scurry around the god and shinki's feet, the Ayakashi ends up running straight for Kairi's borderline...!!

And it impacts with the wall, not nearly hard enough for Kairi's line to break. So why would it... but then it starts to grow larger again as it thrums with the shocking energy, hurtling itself towards Aymeric in an almost immolation-like attack, hissing at the god as it goes.

"Is it getting larger?!"

Because that tiny ayakashi is no longer that as it keeps heading straight towards Aymeric. It's good that they're a good distance away from civilians as he turns towards the creature with dominant hand raised towards Goten.

"Enough of this. Time to ensure that you do no more harm to these people! Come, Chinki!"

The ayakashi is a lot bigger then it originally was. It practically uses Kairi's boarderline to bounce towards the god, he's never seen an ayakashi do that.

Goten tenses as the ayakashi hurls straight for Aymeric. "Aymeric!" He dashes after it. He thrusts his hand forward, tossing the small blast of energy in the ayakashi's path in an attempt to slow it down and reach his god first. Just as the ki leaves Goten's hand, he hears his vessel name called. That familiar almost blinding light envelopes Goten and lunches for Aymeric's raised hand. The moment the light collides, sparking blue energy over takes Aymeric's hand quickly and extends into a sword shape.
Not wanting to waste time or be too late, the energy isn't extended as long as it was prior. A short sword to try making it easier and hopefully quicker for Aymeric to react to the ayakashi barreling towards him.

"Be careful, Goten! Aymeric!" Kairi calls out, since she's pretty sure that he can hear her even while he's shifting into vessel form. In it, yes, but shifting into it might be a whole other issue... if nothing else, Aymeric can hear her just fine. "I think you should just try to Rend it!" Based on the current evidence.

The people around them are starting to get nervous, but it's almost like they think the blue light is rain, because they start holding up their umbrellas or going for shelter in a very casual way - not the way one would run away from a monster, thankfully. It's possible they think Goten and Kairi were just playing catch.

Either way, she's glad to keep an eye over her shoulder between the innocent Heligoland residents at the Farmer's Market and the ayakashi that Goten and Aymeric are trying to defeat.

Yeah, Aymeric's not going to do any fancy moves other than bum rush it (he does not recommend it unless it's very dire) and thankfully the Goten Sword is short enough for a bit of close range combat. Hells, it's not even going to be that for very long.

"You who desecrate this land of the Rising Sun. With my Advent, I,Forseti lay waste with Chinki and expel thy vast defilement! REND!"

He's definitely strikes the ayakashi but as to how the impact is...hopefully it's not so bad with a group of people nearby and not just a few kids.

'REND!'

Goten shouts the word with Aymeric, the sword becoming a brighter and stronger hue as it easily slicing through the creature. Between the force of Ayermic's strike and the ayakashi crashing into them, the impact may send Aymeric back if his stance isn't strong. Regardless the strike isn't something the ayakashi can stand up against and it falls before exploding into particles of light.

A well-oiled team by this point. It feels nice, watching them work together as well as she and Roxas do. It doesn't seem as common as she'd wish for as many friends as she has. The tiny beastie may have had some other kind of defense against getting poked and prodded by less experienced shinki or gods, but a Rend still seems to do the trick.

Once the light particles start to fade, only then does she let down the barrier and head back over towards the boys, looking over her shoulder to make sure the townsfolk will be able to get back to the farmer's market soon enough. "I'm so happy that the Great Forseti and his devoted Shinki were here to help these people, aren't you?" Griiiin. She's so proud.
