Post subject: | Day 12 LM: Prayers to the Gods of Waves and Thunder |
The crew was assembled in reverence on the Walrus with the captain was standing on the prow with an offering to both Osano-wo and Suitengu. Accompanied with the sound of drums, he lit a bronze brazier and began his first prayer. ''The lightning dances in our eyes The thunder rattles in our ears, The fire runs through our veins O Great Fortune, Look into our hearts! Speak with thunder, Your words will be delivered O Great Fortune, we sail beneath your skies To be, to be, Thunderous, victorious and free! O Father of Storms, O Great Fortune.'' The men of the crew echoed the prayer before Susumu burned the offering. He then moved to the egde of the prow, holding the second one. ''Fortune of Waves and Seas Where the ships go down Mind the great sea-farers On the open way. We sail to peril Let us deliver to your depths The vessels of this alien evil So we can find favor When the last lights darken On the far coastline, Wave and port and peril Sea-Lord - all is yours!'' Once more the crew repeated the verses and Susumu let go of the offering, watching it sink in the darkness |
