Ancestral Shrine

Shrine to the Ancestors

---------------------------------

The peddler woke up with a start, looking around he noticed that his dream became infused with bits of reality. Voices started wafting in slowly around him, starting as muffled voices, slowly becoming mumbles and gradually clarifying into words and ideas.

"Hail Peddler, heed our summons.."
"Errr, yes and who are you? It sounds like there's a lot of you around me. Where's this place? It doesn't feel like the Tavern anymore."
"We are the spirits of the ancestors... You ask a lot of questions don't you Peddler, hmmm?"
"Oh quit scaring him Akodo, we are here to pass you a message Peddler. With our blessings of course."
"Don't you just favor him because he's Isawa too? We need you to do something, it is of utmost importance to us that we do not be forgotten by the coming generations.."
"Yes, just like Bayushi said, we do not wish to be forgotten. Thus, it is to you that the duty of keeping the roster of families shall be passed on."
"How poetic, just like a typical Doji... What he means is that he wants you to keep a record of our names. Please do not forget that our Utaku family name came from the Otaku family but are different."
"Remember how we Kuni fought hard defending the Kaiu wall, even after it being overrun by those vermin from the south."
"The Celestials are passing, and the memory of war might be forgotten with it. Keep it with you child and let it guide you forward."
"You must have really hit something hard Akodo, where's the Fire in you? It sounds uncharacteristic of you to be so melancholic."
"Leave him be Yoritomo, Satsu might still be around so you may have his guidance, Peddler."
"WOW!! Enough talking to my head guys, that's alot of you and only 1 of me. All you want is a memorial right? I'll see to it..."
"We rest our names with you mortal..."

The room clears a little bit, and the Peddler notices a distorted face in the wall, he groans "Oh man, Daigotsu too??"
"No, I'm Fu Leng. See that you do not leave me out, or you shall suffer..."

The air clears and the Peddler sighs, he walks over to a table and writes down a poem.

"Today, ISawA Moto bike running past a Daihatsu lorry and ran into a Honda Akodo;
A Doji fellow walked out of the car and said, OI you read or not?(Yoritomo) this is one way only leh!
The motobike person say, EH! AKuni sakitla!
The car driver say, Cheh! troublesome till die!(In hokkien, Cheh TOGASHI)\
Lastly the lorry driver looks at me and says, OI see what? go buy your shit (BAYUSHI) la"

Poem written for the sake of fun and is not intended to hurt anyone's feelings, the author will remove all copies of it from his PC/HDD at any request to do so.

Well the Ancestral Histories have been compiled and now rests in the Tavern, thus the Tavern officially invites anyone who wold like to donate to the Ancestral Histories and also would like to pay their respects to the Ancestors to step forward.
