8-捌 (Voice and action for Sabers)
[A few days after this botched escape from the Corpse Kings ship during the race. She had died during that mission, though she was quite fortunate to wake up again within her own room. It could have been worse, but it takes nothing away from the bitterness she felt.
She had failed. She had died! One who had gained immortality through long arduous research, trial and error, and purse perseverance had lost that precious costly gift and died. She who trained every day to become stronger in her powers and her path following the Way had died.... It was enough to leave her morose, yet there was more. She noticed it not long after awaking, there was something missing... despite her attempts she could not conjure her prized spells. She could not manipulate the elements as she generally did, but she did not feel over all lacking, she still had her sense yet....]
Curse this world and their ghost god!
[There was an anger there she had not displayed before, a deep anger that she had not embraced since she was young.]
To take what is mine, what was earned through blood and sweat and tears is unforgivable!
[There was a long pause and then a sigh.]
And yet... yet I am left with what I have always had. The magic of which I was born with, the blood right of the Mononobe....
[Again there is another long pause as she shifts a bit, calming to a point, but instead of rage there is simply despair.]
If my Lord were here I could consult her... if my friend were here I could confide in her, if my mentor were here I could request guidance from her... but this world has taken my lord from me, and now has taken the Way as well.... Is this a sign of folly? I am gifted the opportunity to gain Futsu no Mitama no Tsurugi, that I did pass aside so long ago. And then all that bore me down towards the Tao is gone, but left still with my innate skills and family born lessons.
What does one do when they are so lost without guidance? Is it now I will only have that of the tsurugi to be my guide?

Alright, fine. Maybe you should just focus on resting right now and worry about the magic stuff later. Is there...anything you want?
[voice]
...
Nay, we should have a ship meeting I feel. After such a failure.
