Two sides of the same coin? It was an interesting analogy, one that mapped well with Otis's own Wikipedia-level understanding of Shintoism and the origin of Fuujin. Birthed from an individual that could be considered the 'demon queen', and one who escaped from hell to terrorize the living alongside his brother, Fuujin may have become worshiped to appease, rather than worshiped for greater boons. From Motsumine's own words, however, it looked as if the ancient exorcism that the Kyoto Alliance practiced was only a shallow tool, capable of scratching one face of a coin but not another. Unfortunate in the present, but another thing worth studying in the future.

On Earth, the divine and the demonic seemed to be separated by some curious universal morality, formulated from the zeitgeist of the human consciousness, but in Arcanis, gods were gods whether they were good or evil. If he had a chance to check in with his former profs, Otis would definitely do so. Shame they didn't have an e-mail address or a Facebook account though. Would've made hitting up those fellows at Maxillius so much easier.

Well, no matter. The Sennen no Matsuri were demons and Otis couldn't safely research the egg with them still around, so he would rein in his questions this time around and make it fast.

The second instance, he was underestimating us. I simply need to know though. During our second fight, he used a certain technique to mold his essence into a sword, and yet that sword was never actually used. Through detection magics, it looked to have become a part of his body. What is that? Is there any record of it? What does it do? Is it magic or natural ability?"[/color][/b]
