"May the Gods lengthen your life, oh Singh(Lion) of our tribe, there is much to discuss about. Please sit down with me".
"May the blessings of the Gods be upon you too, trusted companion Gorou".
The two friends invoke the blessings of the Gods on each other, whilst shaking their hands, and proceed to sit down on the ground
"You know Genji what our Wadayray(Elders) would say? 'The ground is the companion of our tribe.' It has our steadfastness to the Earth Deities which elevated us to this exalted position our elders would use to say. After having to come to Gensokyo after the loss of our ancestral lands(Somewhere in Japan) we settled in this land because of the Unbreakable Barrier that was placed for the continued survival of our kind. We lapsed into complacency, lulled into inaction because we thought this vision would last for eternity. Yet the calm has been shattered, and Gensokyo has collapsed into petty warlords fighting for whats left of its rotting carcass."
"Genji, this is our moment to awaken, awaken to a glorious new life. Our elders will once again charge into battle with us once we take the mantle for ourselves. The Gaama will pick up his celestial Guroj(Mace) and empower those who wish us ill."
"I understand that you believe our future lies with the shrine maiden, but how long shall we tarry along with her? The old Gensokyo is irreparable. The authority of the Shrine Maiden across these lands is in all but name. Lately she has not been herself as well. She has secluded herself from all others except her close friends"
"Genji, the troops will forever remain loyal to the Shrine Maiden, there is no doubt as she is a revered figure for us, the priestess of the God who looks over these skies. We do not fight for glory or for gold, but for what is right. Right now, I entreat you to convince Reimu to abandon this policy of defense and to on the offensive before other Outside Forces take advantage of our disunity and swallow us. Then we shall no longer be free, nor will have a place to call home. This Oscar Diggs is a problem, and so are the Lunarians. We need to find a way to restore the barrier...... or cut off Gensokyo from the other realms in the extreme case"
Genji sat thinking about the shadow of the lamp in the room pensive.
