  1. #Airisu: The Crow and the Witch

    Okiku Part II (Airisu POV): Post 51
    #Wss366 bastion #TimeTravelAuthors Whatever

    The street I saw outside the basket was busy with vendors setting out their goods. People stared at Sumika and whispered to each other. I bet they’d be talking about the fine lady who wandered into town unaccompanied for months.

    The scene swayed as Mistress hurried along, and before long I felt seasick. Ugh, I closed my eyes and huddled in misery—“idiotic large-bills, stupid mistress.

    “Here it is,” I heard her say. I hoped she meant we had reached the shrine.

    There was the splash of water and the sound of Sumika cleaning her mouth. Thank goodness! We’d arrived at Inari Ōkami’s shrine, and I was still in one piece. I knew what would follow but still wasn’t expecting the violent jerk as she clapped her hands and then rang the bell.

    This had been a dumb idea! I should have flown ahead. I could have avoided the clumsy, large-billed crows.

    The basket swayed again, and I heard the crunch of gravel underfoot. Finally, we stopped, and the basket settled on the ground.

    “You can come out now. We’re in the shrine,” Mistress said.

    “Yeah, I know,” I muttered.

    I flew out as soon as her sleeve left the top of the basket. “You pigeon…” I began to say, but then shut my beak. I could feel the sacred energy around us, snaking like a thin white mist through the shrine precinct. Facing us was a robed priest. This was no place to draw attention to myself. Instead, I smoothed my rumpled feathers, trying to look inconspicuous.

    While I made myself presentable, Sumika bowed and said, “Kannushi-sama, Seirei-tsukai sent us. Please forgive our sudden appearance.”

    Since she had things under control, I looked around. The precinct was typical of a Shinto shrine. The kitsune statues with their red bibs, the worship hall’s vermilion banners, and the offertory box all proclaimed Inari’s presence. White mist seeped from the sanctuary and rolled over the box. It swirled in the air, forming halos around the priest and the statues.

    In alarm, the words “Jungle crows!” almost escaped me. Were they hiding nearby, spying on us?

    I looked around. Above the morning sky arched, bright with the newborn sun. Small clouds drifted across it, but no large-billed crows. Behind me stood a line of scarlet Torii gates, and towering above it all was Lord Aoyama’s #bastion: Himeji Castle, home of Osakabe-hime.

    Ack! Those sneaky offspring of a mangy scarecrow were circling the snowy-white citadel.

  7. Komiks:
    »Komiksowe zapowiedzi na październik’25«

    Mija niespełna tydzień od zakończenia kolejnej edycji Międzynarodowego Festiwalu Komiksu i Gier w Łodzi. Prawdopodobnie zatem stan kont miłośników komiksów nie prezentuje się najlepiej. Ale trzeba też przyznać, że liczba zapowiadanych na bieżący miesiąc premier komiksowych nie jest szczególnie imponująca. Niemniej jednak dla osób, które nie mogły wybrać się do Łodzi, oto lista propozycji historii obrazkowych z gatunku fantasy oraz/lub science-fiction...
