Description
The echo, as wide as the equator,
Travels through a world of built up anger-
Too late to pull itself together now.
[...]
There was an earthquake.
There was an avalanche of change.
We were so afraid,
We cried ourselves a hurricane.
There were floods,
And tidal waves over us,
We folded our hands and prayed.
Like a domino,
These wildfires grow and grow
Until a brand new world takes shape.
Fault lines tremble underneath my glass house.
But I put it out of my mind
Long enough to call it courage
To live without a lifeline.
I bend the definition
Of faith to exonerate my blind eye.
'Til the sirens sound, I'm safe.
Earth - Sleeping At Last

Aku 24
Aku stumbled across the old ruins of Mumushi yet again on his travels, and stopped once more to pay his respects. Over his years he has looked upon this statue as if it were a reflection of his heart and soul. Once, it stood tall and proud just like it's counterpart, and served as the strength of the Kitsunari species. Now, it was in shambles, in complete disrepair thanks to the greed of human kind. His anger once burned within him at the very sight of the fallen statue, but now it was simply sadness. A hollow feeling of despair that filled him to know that this poor statue and the spirit who inhabited it would never return to it's former glory. This statue made him think of the many other casualties of war that fell alongside it, and he found himself weeping upon the ground before the statue's once impressive maw.
Things really will never be the same...
