This is a place to send your prayers to the Fourth god. He may not always respond, or he may respond in ways you don’t expect, but he is always listening.

Speak, he hears you.

OOC note:  As of April 2020, threads with the gods will be capped at three NPC replies! Please keep this in mind when writing god prayers to make sure you get everything you need out of the thread.It’s also possible to handwave prayers by titling your comment HANDWAVED PRAYER. Handwaved prayers lack our usual flourish, but you can expect a faster response!

As of February 2024, god prayers will be handwaved only. Please only submit a prayer if you have a question for either god which needs answering in order to progress your character's arc within Ryslig. If this is something you need to tier up within the god boon system, or just to set up a player plot in general, please don't hesitate to submit a prayer about it! You may shorten it down to an OOC summary of what your character is asking. This will allow any of our helper mods to reply much faster, without having to dig into the specifics of either god's personality/writing quirks. Should this limitation be lifted again in the future, this note will be removed.

Fourth God,

I am Tsukikage of the Fuuma Clan. I am the guardian of Reira Akaba and Ron Fuuma, formerly Hasegawa. Ordinarily, I would not come to you, and a part of me regrets having to resort to this, but I need your help.

I know my master and Ron are used to fighting, but I don’t want them involved with all of this anymore. It is too much for them. Ryslig is a dangerous place, but there is no need to force them to live in fear like this and need to hurt people in such cruel ways. Your will and actions have torn apart the inhabitants of my home, and the pain Reira-dono feels for harbouring such damaging secrets and harming the park has been carved into her heart.

I cannot tell you what to do, I am in no position to do such a thing. I cannot force my children to revoke you, but I implore you to please never do anything like this again. Please. Please. I beg of you as a father and a servant, stop bringing those children into danger. I no longer want to see them suffer. Use another if you have to.

I acknowledge you have no debt to me, nor you have no reason to give them up, but Reira-dono says you are kind. You are her friend.

So please listen. Please tell me that you won’t bring them into harms way anymore.

Tsukikage.

[The cursor on the screen blinks idly, nothing out of the ordinary.

Right up until the screen goes black, anyway. When it flickers back on, Tsukikage will find a new message waiting in his inbox.]

i know who you are
those two care about you
a lot

that must feel really nice

. . .

i dont want to lie to you
someday danger might find them
even if they dont ask for it
the fogs beasts
scared and desperate humans

they don't care about us being kids
not one bit

my power is limited
i can only protect them so much
but its the same for you
isn't it...?

sorry
i really am
if i could promise more i would

but maybe some day
you can lend me your strength
then i could give you mine

and maybe you could protect them
until the very end.

[Tsukikage stares at the screen for a while, after reading it. There's a quiet sigh from his end and he shakes his head. It's unfortunate, really, how all of this is.]

Fourth God,

I agree with you fully. The world is full of it as it is. But to that same point, you don't have to put them in more danger, like making both of them your conduits. Making them targets.

I am just glad you heard my words, and again that is all that I can ask. It brings comfort that you want to care. Unfortunately, you and I will be unable to see eye to eye, and there is no way I can find it in myself to join you without betraying a part of myself. There are things that cannot be rectified.

And there is no 'maybe'. As long as they are here, I will protect them. Without your help.

Thank you.
Tsukikage.
