Scar's Forecast: Fantasy
Nov. 22nd, 2009 01:00 amHer pinky stump throbbed when the weather changed, and sometimes when weather not of this world changed. She didn't think it was actually the scar that did that, just her own mental projection--a storm of a kind was the reason she'd had her finger cut, and so she projected her subconscious detection onto the scars. She could always rationalize away that she'd seen certain signs, because in hindsight, no matter what kind of storm it was, there were always signs.
Except this time.
She'd listened when her pinky started throbbing worse than it had ever before, and she'd gone and hidden in the o-san's restroom, taking her sword and lifting up the tatami mat and quickly carving out a hole in the floor so she could hide under the floorboards with the tatami mat settling back over the floor.
Inspiration: Short story titled, "Pinky the Invisible Flying Pony Who Saves The World." True fax.
Story Potential: High. I wanted to keep writing.
Notes: Some sort of ceremonial knife was used and some of the knife's specialness rubbed off. Plus this fits in with the "great sacrifice is required for power" sort of thing. After whatever entirely unforeseen, hint-free disaster this may be, her next step will be to find the specialist who removed the finger, to find out what's going on. Don't keep the o-san part. That's not even a word. Unless somebody's name is o. Though Osan is a city, and apparently also means giving birth.
