The Stars...

So, this is the place. I expected something else. Something ... more well kept.

No matter. This is where the stars have led me. For better or for worse.

Also, I feel... Ah, that was here not too long ago. Perhaps it will come back.

Sharp as always.

My presence is merely to observe some entertaining shenanigans. There's a good line up of players coming in so I don't think I have long to wait.

[ladyofstars]

Hmm. I noticed the line up. I believe that is why I've been drawn here.

Tell me, the Star Dragon Sword, it was here in the war between the Five Elements was it not?

[charming_chiketsu]

The Star Dragon Sword? Ah, yes. I do believe it was.

But why do you ask that?

[ladyofstars]

As with the Sun Rune and it's children the Dawn and Twilight Runes, I am concerned with it's actions.

[charming_chiketsu]

Oh! Of course. I should have realized you'd be interested in that rune.

I'd say it had a bigger impact elsewhere and a over a decade ago. Besides that, you're a bit late, my friend. You just missed it by a few months.

[ladyofstars]

In the Toran and Dunan conflicts, yes? I was unfortunately busy with other matters that kept me away from the Northern Continent at the time.

I would have liked to have been here for the conflict nine months ago, but again, more immediate matters held my attention.

[charming_chiketsu]

I'd ask for details, but I suspect they're... confidential as always. Tee hee.

Luckily for you, I had ways of poking my nose into all of those events. But I'm sure you already know that. ♥

[ladyofstars]

Yes.

Tell me, what are your impressions?

[charming_chiketsu]

Of past events or what's taking place right now?

[ladyofstars]

Both, though the present is more relevant.

[charming_chiketsu]

Well... with the way things are going right now, something is bound to happen sooner than later. What with all of these True Runes in one place.

It's a little concerning, I admit. The last time so many were so close, it wasn't pretty.

[ladyofstars]

If only I had been free at the time, though even I don't know how much good I would have been.

Still, the matter resolved itself without me.

[Is silent for a moment]

To have them come together so soon, this must be why I am here.

[charming_chiketsu]

I don't like to see you as a bad omen since so many horrible things have occurred even with you absent, but...

No. I'm sure this is all just another odd game of fate for now and nothing else.

[ladyofstars]

When have such things ever been so easy?

But, I shall hope that you are right.
