[Action] Have Confiance.

[Around a grassy, unpopulated area in the fantasy city of Fayren, Anastasia was alone, with her sword, named Confiance in her right hand and small, undecorated kite shield in her left hand.

The purpose being was she is bored and wanted to get out and burn off the energy she has. So she was here in this empty spot to shadow fence. There was ample shade and the air was cool in her spot, so being active won't bother her.

A down slash, then up slash, a twirl and another up slash, she was a girl who had instruction before. Even so, her steps were often clumsy and her strokes often missed the target in her mind's eye. She was so caught up in her exercise that she, at one point, started collecting mana that formed visible ribbons to cast her destruction magic. But she stopped, realizing that without a proper target, that would only end badly.

Instead, she rested a bit, then returned to her practice swings. Up, down, thrust, side, right spin slash, left spin shield bash and thrust.

Feel free to join this wannabe Warrior Princess.]

[The boy turns his gaze towards Anastasia when she answers him.]

Since before recorded history? Then is it possible that the Great Mother Tree was crafted by your gods and then pieces of it was used to form...a bridge of some kind?

[This is mere speculation on his part but anything else but he has a theory--]

"Possibly. I wasn't able to make it that far before Genessia pulled me in. But I do know there are smaller doorways into each individual elemental realm governed by a Goddess. So maybe the Mother Tree is a doorway into the spirit world as a whole...

Like light shining through a prism, perhaps. With the Mother Tree as the prism."

That's assuming Pankosmia is truly that powerful.

[He says thoughtfully as he strokes his chin.]

Ama-no uki-hashi, the Floating Bridge of Heaven, is said to be forged out of the wood of an ancient tree of unknown origins.

[Tsukihito lets out another hum as he thinks.]

Such a curious theory that none of us can prove.

"I believe in Pankosmia and her power, but one can only imagine how powerful The Prime is. I've found evidence of Pankosmia being a successor to a much older God who originally created the world."

[She listened to Yukimura's description of a spiritual bridge.]

"...Is it possible that many different universes somehow mirror each other?"

Maybe. Just maybe.

[A humored chuckle escapes the boy as he rises to his feet. He takes a moment to brush the grass off his clothing before turning to Anastasia again.]

A rather riveting thought, no? The idea of every world being somehow linked to each other.

[Anastasia would remain seated. She was comfy now. At the same time, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes now.]

"Maybe it's even possible to visit those worlds? I would very much like to see my best friend again."

Your best friend resides in another world?

[He cocks his brow a little in mild surprise.]

How is that possible? Did you meet them here in this world?

"Yes, we did. We met by chance a year ago in Nova City and had been best friends since. Then, she suddenly disappeared."

[It was so unfair, after all the promises and plans that they made.]

She merely disappeared one day? [...?] Without so much as a trace? How curious.

[Tsukihito gives the princess a thoughtful look yet again. He didn't expect to learn much about this realm through the experiences of a mere child but this has been quite enlightening.]

If my theory serves correct, you will see your friend once more. That is...unless we can unlock the secrets that binds this realm to the next.

"It's happened to a number of my friends already. I have very few left whom I'm close to now."

[If there is any chance at all to see, or even get a one-word message from Princess Sakura again, Anastasia would hang on to that hope.]

Ah, a lonely little child.

[He can't help but feel a tad sorry for Anastasia. While he honestly enjoys the comforts of being on his own, he doesn't expect this frail girl to feel the same. After all, she's only a child and children ought to have friends.]

There must be others suited enough to befriend the Princess of Rivera, yes? You're simply not looking hard enough.

"Maybe so.... But all my friends happened by chance. I don't know how to just make friends."

[She doubts anyone really wants to be her friend. She sent a call out for help once and no one answered.]

[A strange silence settles between the two of them until Tsukihito decides to pierce it with a slight "*Ahem*".]

I doubt you would find a fox deity to be a decent 'friend' but perhaps--

[He feels ABSOLUTELY foolish for suggesting this idea but nevertheless, he does.]

"So you are a divine?"

[She didn't seem surprised.]

"I believe we can be friends... But..." [Should se really ask?] "...If I were to ask, would you help me with a problem I have?"

I am the God of Moon or rather I was.

[He huffs a little as he thinks on that.] It's very long and complicated tale unsuited for children, especially a princess.

[Tsukihito stares at her owlishly for a moment.]

Speak. What is it that you need?

"It's a long story, so I will try to keep it short..."

[A brief moment to collect her thoughts and take a breath to speak.]

"...I'm carrying the power of seven of my world's Goddesses. I am to be a weapon to destroy a ancient traitor seeking to re-write reality, but I was deployed too soon when he re-awakened sooner than expected. The mana I carry from these Goddesses are mixing with my natural mana, causing a dangerous instability that can kill me.

I need help crafting special accessories, called Spiritcraft, to safely divide up the mana until I'm old enough to handle them naturally."

[The kitsune stares at Anastasia with an impassive gaze as she begun her intricate tale. He figured that there was something odd about the princess but he never would've deemed it to be something as dire as this. Tsukihito is floored.]

You...[There's disbelief laced within his quiet tone.] You are the host to seven different Goddesses and you require the aid of another to help manage your spiritual energy? [He shakes his head slowly.] What a careless act. Why would they create a weapon from the flesh of a child? Especially weapon that could be so dangerous.

Is this traitor you speak of worth such the effort, Princess Anastasia? Your very life is in jeopardy but you know this already.

[A tense sigh leaves Tsukihito as he agrees to her request.]

I shall see what I can do. Surely I could fuse some of my powers to help regulate your mana but I will require the aid of another.

[Anastasia didn't have all the answers. She just knows what is desired of her.]

"The Goddesses are not able to manifest in the material world anymore, so not only do they need me to use their power against them, but they may be using me to create a new bridge between the spirit and material worlds.

As for why me...? Humans can't use destruction magic, except for my father and I. If the traitor awakened sooner, it would be my father doing this. If he awakened later, it would've been my children."

[She listened to Yukimura's suggestion to help, any feeling of peace and security would be welcomed. The more friends helping her find the materials she needs or alternatives, the better.]

"Who is it that you need? What exactly do you plan to do?"

I mean to find someone skilled enough to form talismans to aid you.

[He mutters as if thinking aloud more than answering her directly.]

I would attempt to do so myself but I'm...unfortunately unskilled in making wards or talisman. [A sigh escapes him.] Give me time to find a way to assist you. This is an endeavor to hastily embark upon.

"They're not just talismans. They are gemstones carved into corresponding runes laid in gold bases fashioned into wearable accessories. One choker, one necklace, one circlet, two earrings and two bracelets."

[Despite being a Princess, she doesn't look all that fond of having to decorate herself with jewelry. She doesn't mind, but they are sometimes a nuisance.]

"I have details on which gem is supposed to be carved into which rune, but another friend has it. You won't be the only one helping me."
