The first night of this ritual was truly a tumultuous one. Much of Miyama has been razed as a result of the constant battles within the area. Heroes clashed their blades against each other, finding either victory or certain death with each strike. Darker elements skirted in the shadows, taking advantage of any opportunity granted to them. Gods were brought low from the heavens, crashing down into the surface below. However, perhaps the greatest thing that happened that night was not accomplished by the intervention of the gods, but instead the sheer will of man...
To shatter the barriers of what is possible and defy fate itself was the very nature of heroes, after all.
"Alright, just one more to go, and..."
A roll of sweat drooped down Remus's forehead, his eyes laser-focused on the task at hand. Much of his metallic body was covered in dirt, alluding to the hard work the Emperor has been doing all night. His arms were shaking from the stress of the work he has been doing. Everything had to be perfect, after all... one mess up, and everything that Remus and his Master had accomplished the whole night would end up being for naught. Slowly but surely, Remus's arm descended as the last bean was placed precisely, and...
"... Heh. Hahahaha... Hahahahaha! HAHAHAHAHA! Yes! It's perfect! A beautiful piece of beanaroni art! Something only the Divine would accomplish, after all. Are you watching, Brother? Do you see what I have accomplished with my perfection alone, something you require your pathetic [Imperial Privilege] to perform? Witness me, Brother! Witness the might of Reme!"
Remus cackled, proud of yet another accomplishment performed by himself surpassing his brother. Wiping the swear away from his brow, Remus looked up to the sky, pride washing over him. As he watched the Heavens, Remus began to think of Jack and the trials and tribulations he is facing as well. Remus could not help but feel a sense of accomplishment of all the work both himself and his Master had accomplished over the course of the entire day. For Remus, all that was left was to wait for the coming dawn... but for Jack?
"I see that you are hard at work as well, Master. Hang in there."

Night One has ended. Day Two has begun.
