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.

"I don't think I can make something like a hemisphere to protect us, but a wall for sure-" But then Kairi gets serious as she looks out at the water where Goten's pointing. "Keep the lifevest on Goten."

Kairi reaches down under her seat and hands the one spare in the boat to him. "Please fly with this one and find Mr. Singer. We need to get him in the boat before--"

And as she says that, there's a breaching sound of waves as something's head coasts along just underneath the surface of the water, heading towards them in a wide circle like it's trying to stir up an underwater cyclone.

He can see how the boat is desperately trying to hold on despite the raging storm but notices something in the water. "Prepare yourselves!" a warning shout out as he sees bits of metal breaking from Mr Singer's boat. He doesn't know how much distance he has but he uses his knees as a brace and holds both hands out, pushing his palms away from his body.

"Goten! Get Master Singer now! I can not predict how long I can keep the metal from departing his boat but we only have moments! Kairi, you may need to prepare that Borderline to give us more time!"

Goten takes the life vest, blinking at it. Oh! This is probably for the old guy. But he looks between both Aymeric and Kairi. He doesn't want to leave them alone in this boat. Especially as their own boat starts to spin.

"B-But..."

And it's Aymeric saying his name that makes his attention snap to his god. He frowns, biting back words of protest.

"Okay....I'll be fast!" Gripping the life-vest tightly, he jumps out of the boat and makes a beeline for Singer's boat. It's a quick zip since the boats aren't too far apart but it does leave Aymeric and Kairi to deal with the ayakashi lurking below on their own for a bit. He lands in the boat, stumbling a bit as another wave slams into it. The only thing holding the old fishing boat together is probably Ayermic's powers.

"Hey mister, here! Put this on. We need to get out of here..." Goten practically shouts, shoving the life-vest into the man's arms.

There's probably a billion questions going through Singer's mind right now. Where the kid came from, how he's there but with the peril going on around them the fisherman is quick to comply and slips on the life-vest. Questions later, action now.

Kairi realizes then that she had no idea what Aymeric's god power actually was. Something about metal in the boat...? Wow! Like Mr. Singer, Kairi knows that she'll have to ask questions later. At least Goten was able to get the life vest over to him.

"Got it."

She looks over the side of the boat and waits until the ayakashi is closer to them than Mr. Singer's boat. She unleashes the Dagger style borderline at the thing beneath the water and while she's not sure it connected, it definitely glowed brightly in that direction. The ayakashi stops and takes a wide arc away from them before emerging from the waves with a gaping maw headed towards Kairi and Aymeric.

"BORDERLINE!"

She has to use the boat as the base for the wall, but eventually it pushes into the sky as the draugen-style ayakashi tries to toss their little boat with waves. Water sprays to either side but so far that's all. And hey, they got its attention away from Mr. Singer. She thought he might've gotten tossed into the water already, but thankfully not.

"GOTEN!"

Aymeric can't see Goten or Mr Singer as he's too focused to try and keep that boat from falling apart until they get out. But the force of the ayakashi and the Borderlines make him lose concentration as he accidentally lowers his arms, trying to grip onto the boat. He's only used his powers in split second decisions and this is much longer than that.

"Goten, hurry! I cannot keep ahold of the metal for much longer!"

He can only barely hear their yelling and it just makes him that more antsy as the old man struggles with all the clips and straps. But he does finally get it secure. With Singer in the lift vest, Goten grabs him under the arms and flies him out of the boat just before another wave slams into it and break it apart. It's only because of Aymeric's power that it even lasted as long as it did. Even as Goten tries to reassure Singer, his wiggling is making it hard for Goten to carry him but they do managed to make it back to the boat. Goten practically drops him in.

"I'm here!"

It's mostly meant for Aymeric as he stares at the ayakashi that isn't letting up it's assault on the trio and Singer.

"Please, stay here in the boat with me, Mr. Singer. Your granddaughter knows we're looking for you." Which is why they're in a boat he'd recognize, or so she hopes to reassure him.

"Aymeric, Goten - please take care of the storm and I'll protect Mr. Singer." Because sure, it's just a 'storm' that's causing all of this, riiiight. "LINE!"

And with that she gets the boat split in half, herself and Singer on the one side, Goten and Aymeric on the other. She doesn't have to tell them what to do next.
