Bio
I'm kinda boring, so there isn't much to tell.
I go by Sumi. I like to write, though it's getting a little harder to. My characters are different facets of myself, so as I get to know them, I get to know myself. I've been writing since I was a wee fifth grader and look at me now, almost eight years later.
Ideas are always interesting and I'm always willing to listen to them.

Etsuko hadn’t even had a chance to agree to Cyril’s near command when a familiar set of hands had placed themselves on her waist and lifted her up with ease. She didn’t even have to look to know that Calypso was the one who had done so. As she took a moment to settle behind Ayano and as Calypso had deftly gotten on Cyril’s horse, she looked to the dust cloud Drosil and his mount had left behind. It seemed as though she wasn’t the only one who sensed danger.
By the time they had arrived in the village, the smell of death and smoke nearly choked the Diviner. While Ayano was fortunate enough to have a cloth to cover her mouth and nose, Etsuko only had her hand. She could barely register what Cyril had asked her to do, but somehow she managed to. With a small nod, she watched as Calypso, Alasa and Cyril headed into the village.
”Please be careful…”
Even if she couldn’t have predicted the mass amounts of carnage that littered the village, the mere stench of it wafting towards them told her that finding a survivor would be considered lucky. She had been sending as many prayers to the Divines as she could when Ayano frantically began searching for something. Etsuko felt her hand latch onto her wrist and merely smiled at her comforting words. With her other hand, she affectionally patted Ayano’s head.
“Yes, of course, Princess.”

While Etsuko would never protest wanting to help someone, the way Calypso’s gaze seemed to travel from those on horses to the giant centipede led Etsuko to believe that altruism was just an underlying reason for Calypso’s wanting to help. That isn’t to say, of course, that her companion wasn’t kind; Calypso has shown a number of kindnesses to Etsuko and vice versa. But being together so long, the Diviner seemed to know when it was altruism and when it was curiosity.
This time, it was sheer curiosity.
Etsuko could barely let out a shred of attempted reasoning as she practically began chasing Calypso towards the group. She had attempted then to be the voice of reason, though it was all in vain. Perhaps she did it for her own sanity. But in the end, there wasn’t much she could do.
By the time Calypso had swept past the Sentinels, Etsuko had barely caught up, her breath coming out in huffs and puffs. She was about to approach Calypso and maybe attempt to drag her away from the centipede, but her attention was quickly directed to those of the group. The leader, she supposed, was leading the introductions.
”Hah…O-Oh, very nice to meet you…I’m Etsuko and that’s Calypso.”
She would’ve bowed, like she almost always did whenever giving an introduction, but Calypso was literally milliseconds away from petting the centipede.
”C-Calypso, be careful!”
Her eyes were wide with concern and she reached out a hand as she stepped closer to her companion, ready to tug on her sleeve and attempt to pull her away before anything could happen.
But, as usual, Calypso beat Etsuko.
With bated breath, Etsuko watched and prayed to every Divine she could think of for her companion’s protection and when it seemed liked the creature wasn’t about to make Calypso its next meal, she let out a sigh of relief and redirected her attention to the group. She looked at all of them with a mildly tired smile before a look of realization came over her.
”Oh, wait a moment, I’ve heard your names before. You must be the Sentinels, correct?”
Her gaze seemed to settle on the one named Alasa and she noticed his distant look. Almost immediately, a wave of foreboding washed over the Diviner and it felt like her stomach fell right to the ground. Her expression became one of worry once again.
”Something’s not right…”

Etsuko had merely hummed in agreement with what Calypso said, a smile gracing her features. The village where they lived was closer to the mountains, therefore making it slightly colder than where they were now. Even though curling up with a good book and a warm fire was one of Etsuko’s favorite pastimes, a little bit of sunshine and blue skies certainly didn’t hurt. Being able to enjoy it with someone she held dear to her heart made it even better.
At first, she didn’t notice the cloud of dust or the hooves of horses pounding against the dirt, but something in the atmosphere had changed, giving her reason to look around. Finding nothing in her direct line of sight, the Diviner simply shrugged it off, attributing it to the wildlife that seemed to reside in these parts.
Well, until Calypso tapped her shoulder.
Etsuko turned her head in the direction her companion was pointing at. Indeed, there were three people on horses and something…that looked like it could’ve crawled out of the nightmares of small children. Her eyes gradually widened, to the point where it was obvious she was both alarmed and worried.
“No, that usually doesn’t happen around here… W-Well, the massive, er, creature doesn’t, but travelers do.”
She then looked up at Calypso—for she was much taller than the Diviner—the worried expression never leaving her face.
”Should we go see if they need help?”

Traveling around sure had its benefits, but it always made The Diviner long for the warmth of her small cottage. Even so, the outdoor scenery was nice and visiting other villagers was just as pleasant. The village elders always seemed to use the knowledge of her foresight rather well, and the villagers were generally friendly towards them. Of course, there were certain village elders that were...less than honorable, but that didn't seem to faze her or her companion at all.
The Diviner herself was Etsuko Tanaka; Etsuko's companion was Calypso. They traveled in a comfortable silence, both taking in whatever they wanted of the scenery. It was a pleasant day and so Etsuko didn't feel the need to wear the hood that was attached to her white shawl. The shawl was draped over her shoulders over a blue dress that went up to her knees. White trimmings accented the outfit and a brown belt was wrapped around her waist; a pouch was attached to said belt and held the tools of her foresight: tarot cards.
Etsuko, from the time she was at least fifteen, harbored the gift of foresight. Though it could still be relatively unclear—as the future was unclear until it truly revealed itself—her predictions were usually correct. Since she lived in a village that was rather superstitious, she had suggested to her family that she live in a separate cottage. Her parents were immediately against it but quickly caved in when they realized her reasoning: to keep them safe from any sort of persecution that might come because of her ability. They had built a small cottage for her and just a few months after, Etsuko found Calypso and easily let her into the small cottage. The two of them had been inseparable ever since.
As of right now, the two women were traveling to a small village that was their original destination; all of the other villages they had visited were simply detours. Etsuko had a heart of gold and was always willing to offer her services in any village she visited. Calypso didn't seem to mind the detours. Again, the exposure to new villages was certainly nice.
“Aah, the weather’s really nice around these parts, isn’t it?”
happy birthday @Raijinslayer ~
