God's Garden Altar

Kuroo had wasted no time in gathering his offering for the statue. He had high hopes that the sudden change of seasons and appearances of statues around the land would bring good things for the coming year. Perhaps he would have a different feeling if he had lived in Boreas where the magical pockets were a bit more... morbid than the one surrounding God's Garden. Yet, he would try to keep his spirits up and pay his respects. Already, life had been rather tumultuous lately and he was ready for his next chapter in life to be a good one.

The grey mottled boy had spent his time patiently fishing off the bay's shoreline. He wanted to fish for the perfect fish to offer to the motherly statue. Unsure if a statue would have any taste preferences, Kuroo gathered a variety of small to medium-sized fish. Careful to kill, clean, fillet, and then smoke them until they were rightly preserved, the fisherwolf wrapped them nicely in large banana leaves before making his way north of the bay.

Carrying his offering upon his back, he admired the beauty of the magical pocket of autumn surrounding God's Garden. Even as he approached the statue and was greeted by the tailless Tenrec, he couldn't help but smile. "I do hope the gods enjoy what I have brought," he responded in a joyful tone. Approaching the altar, he slipped the neatly wrapped smoked fish from his back and laid it on the altar. Looking up at the motherly statue and the pups by her paws, he couldn't help but feel that the statue appeared similar to him and his brother growing up. Turning his chin down toward his chest in a bow of respect, he murmured a Japanese prayer before turning to leave.
