Goodbyes:
It wasn't expected.

Ohu Amane received an unusual phone call today. And now his room is empty.

It's abrupt, but Ohu Amane has never done anything in half-measures.

He goes from room to room, seeking out the Defenders one at a time to say his goodbyes.

	Dawn could be found in her room, idly looking through a book. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"Dawn?" Ohu offers as he steps in with a half-knock. "I'm afraid I must be going now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She tilted her head slightly as she looked up. "You're... being awfully serious," she said, after a moment. "What's going on?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I am being called back to my home realm," he explains. "And this time... I cannot refuse." He gives her a sad smile, but there is still mischief in his eyes. "I do not know when I will be able to return." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"...Oh," Dawn said, softly. "Is it... bad? Are you going to be all right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He laughs. "Dawn, I am Ohu Amane. I will be fine. It will be an incredible adventure, and I will be laughing the whole time."

He leans closer. "And you... you will be better than fine. You do not trust yourself in this strange new world you have been thrust into. But Dawn... you will not merely survive this world. You will thrive in it. Because if you didn't... what kind of a story would that be?"

He smiles as he leans in to hug her.

	Dawn hugged Ohu in return. The librarian in her couldn't help but appreciate the storyteller in him. And she would miss his sense of humor. "A pretty poor one," she agreed. "I'll miss you, Ohu." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-03 03:23 pm UTC (link)
	"And I you." He considers a moment. "May I make but one request of you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	godlierthanthou 2010-07-03 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	"Hmm? Sure," she replied. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Marlow was still discovering movies. She was in the rec room laughing quietly over The Craft. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-01 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, the sound of laughter. Always a delight. Ohu peers into the rec room. "Marlow? May I have a moment?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-01 05:42 pm UTC (link)
	She looked up with a smile. The battle with the Offenders had done more than gain her access to more of her own magic. It released more of a personality she hadn't known existed. "Of course," she said immediately. "What can I do for the spider god?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-01 05:45 pm UTC (link)
	"You can allow me to bid you goodbye," he offers with a formal, if somewhat flirty, bow. "It is time for me to be going." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-01 05:55 pm UTC (link)
	"No. Come, watch this with me. Can you believe they believe this to be a representation of witchcraft?" She gestured for him to join her on the sofa. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He smiles at her. "I have seen it, Marlow. And it, like all stories, is true... in its own way." He moves to her side and takes her hand gently. "This is one truth I have attempted to instill upon you all. You may have the best chance to learn it." He kisses her cheek gently. "Remember... all stories are true. Especially the ones that are untrue. Particularly the well-crafted ones." He holds up a single finger. "Remember this one truth, and your mind will be open to learning more than most will ever understand."

	She tilted her head to look at him. Ohu had always been kind to her, if somewhat distracted unless he was telling a story. A serious Ohu was not normal. "Why are you saying goodbye?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-01 06:08 pm UTC (link)
	He grins, an honest, happy grin. "All stories eventually must come to an end, Marlow. And my story here is done -- at least, for now. The realm of the Ashanti Gods has need of me, and for once, it is not something I can refuse." His grin turns somewhat wicked. "And with the end of one story, a new tale can be woven. One in which I shall be the star... as always." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marlow 2010-07-01 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled then and leaned over to kiss his cheek. Gone but not forever was something she could accept. "Come back when you can, Ohu. I will miss you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-01 06:21 pm UTC (link)
	"And I you, Marlow. But we are immortal beings, and remember... the end of a story only means that a sequel still awaits." He gives her a wink, and then he is gone, in search of another to say goodbye to. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Grace could be found in the kitchen, her nose buried in a trashy romantic novel, and eating some of Sarah's cookies. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-01 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Ohu leans into the kitchen. "Friend Grace... as much as I hate to interrupt someone enjoying a good tale, I am afraid I must take a brief moment of your time." He steps in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-07-01 06:54 pm UTC (link)
	Grace smiled at him. "Sure Ohu...what's up?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-01 06:58 pm UTC (link)
	He moves to her and pops a cookie in his mouth, then places a hand on each of her shoulders, facing her. "I am afraid I must be gone now, Grace. I am needed in my home realm. And I do not know for how long. I may not be back in your lifetime." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	shessomarvelous 2010-07-02 10:02 pm UTC (link)
	Grace's face fell, as she stood up. "I'm sorry to hear that, Ohu. I'd ask if there was some way you could stay, but that would be selfish of me." She stood up and wrapped him in a hug. "I'll really miss you, Ohu." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Never forget, Grace... you are favored by the gods." He hugs her back. "And do not forget that present I left for you. When you are ready for a grand adventure... the greatest of your life... open it. Events will then be set in motion." He winks at her. "Remember, adventures are not always pleasant, and the best ones leave a person forever changed... but hopefully... for the better."

	Halbjorn is a predictable creature. When not in his room or eating, he's training. That's what he's up to when Ohu finds him. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	ohu_amane 2010-07-01 07:17 pm UTC (link)
	"Friend Halbjorn!" Ohu greets from the entranceway. "I am afraid it is at this point that our paths must diverge for the time being!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2010-07-01 07:20 pm UTC (link)
	Halbjorn smiles, putting his axe back over his back and extending his hand. "Then I wilt be pleased our stories crossed, and ask of thee but one exchange of favors." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ohu offers his in return, shaking Halbjorn's hand firmly.

"If your favor is to ask me to make sure your story is always remembered and told... that is no favor, my friend. It is my duty, my honor... and my privilege. As long as Ohu lives, and likely for an eternity more, the stories of his exploits shall be told, and with them, the stories of those brave friends and allies he had by his side."

	Halbjorn nods. "Thou knowst me well. And I shalt do all I can to ensure tis a tale worth telling. May fate favor thee." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Stories have always bound us together, friend Halbjorn. They shall continue to do so, even while our stories take us to different places." He gives Halbjorn a broad smile. "If I do not see you before then... may you die well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	stone_bear 2010-07-01 07:42 pm UTC (link)
	"I shall." he agrees pleasantly. "Be well, my friend." (Reply to this)(Parent)
