Selina approached the temples of her village to begin her journey of prayer. Ever since the tragedy of the kogarashi attack, she had prayed alone for the lives lost. It was hard for her to be back into the combat, and because of that, a moment of prayer alone helped her recover. In a pew she sat to the statue of Evergreen; the now known goddess which helped Kenshin fight the forces of Sandayu. It was strange to her that a goddess literally appeared to assist, especially since she was raised in the ways of Ninshuu, but her prayers of gratitude was sent to the envoy of nature.
That was when she felt a strange warmth generate from her heart. Selina recognized the power calling to her as she placed her right hand onto of her chest. "Konohana no Sakuya." She said as she released her hand from her chest, and a wave of blue fire erupted from her. The Goddess appeared in a flash of flames as she hovered over the pews in front of where Selina sat. "Good afternoon. It's strange for you to call out while in a time of peace." Selina asked. The goddess gave off an inhumane shriek as she was known to do. Selina assumed that was the goddess's attempt to speak, but the only person she knew who could understand her was the Yamamoto who gave her the transplant. A terrifying thought came into her mind as she realized why her friend may have demanded to be summoned.
"We are in a time of peace, right?" She asked. The spirit nodded, which allowed Selina to take a breath of reprieve. However, Selina noticed that the spirit was still in a state of unease. "What's the problem Konohana?" She asked. The spirit suddenly turned and flew off toward the exit. This was strange to Selina, as the goddess usually moved on the instructions of Selina. "Konohana!" Selina shouted as she leaped out of her pew. The agile shinobi trailed behind the spirit and was led down a strange pathway. The spiraling staircase was something she had never seen before, and it seemed to end in a strange, circular room.
In the center of the room was a burning bush burning with the same blue fire which Konohana no Sakuya manifested in. Selina used her sensory powers to detect that the chakra burning the branch in an eternal flame was that of sage chakra. The goddess moved toward the bush and floated above it. She was then engulfed in the flames, but seemed to be in no pain. "Selina." The spirit said, her words caused Selina to gasp. "This remnant of the mother's chakra. While it's active, we should be able to communicate until you get the power to understand me fully." The Goddess' voice was a lot younger than Selina thought it would sound. She always imagined the spirit of an immortal deity to sound as old as the trees.
"Wait, Evergreen is your mother?" Selina asked. Konohana nodded. "She is the mother of all. This world is bathed in her lifeblood." The goddess declared. Her bug like eyes focused deeply on Selina she stared with a penetrating glare. "Selina Rosewater. Do you know why I chose you to be my patron?" She asked.
"Well, Sorato said that you were inspired by me. The fact that I got up after..." She was hesitant to finish her sentence, but finished it nonetheless. "The tragedy of Seizan." The spirit nodded. "Humans are curious creatures. They were not part of the mother's plans. However, they carve the world to mirror the reality they best envision for themselves and, on occasion, for others. I have watched over humans since I was driven from my homeland. When I found you, I knew that you could do what needed to be done."
"What... what needs to be done?" Selina asked hesitantly. Konohana looked down, as though ashamed. "What you will see, will hurt." She said. "I chose this moment in your life to show you because you are at your peak of emotional stability. It is my belief that you have the highest probability of handling now." The words the goddess spoke worried Selina. While she was alright, she knew how devastating things could be. She had lived through countless tragedies, and the idea of opening herself to another frightened her. Despite this, Selina knew that she could not hide either. It was for this reason that the girl nodded solemnly.
"I am ready." Selina said defiantly. Konohana nodded and floated ever so gently over to her. Her body leaned over so that her helmet like head rested above Selina's right shoulder. The goddess then whispered softly as blue flames blew from where a mouth would be. Selina's eyes flashed with blue flames as her expression morphed into horrid fear. The young girl stared off into the distance as tears fell helplessly from her eyes. When her eyes reverted to normally she fell to her knees.
"That was..." Selina began, but could not put what she saw into words. The goddess floated in front of her as Selina kept her glazed gaze on the ground. "That... that's the future, isn't it?" She asked softly. "Although Evergreen herself lacks the power of foresight, my freedom from her influence allowed me to siphon some power from Zelel. This is the future he foresees to come into fruition." She said. Konohana's arms folded as she looked deep in thought.
"However, does that mean that it needs to pass? Time is not a river which brings everyone to the same destination. Otherwise, the mother would not have been able to sway the course of fate to this point. When I saw this future, I knew that I lacked the power to stop it. That is why I have confided in you, Selina. You are the girl who has defied fate and saved all that she could. I ask that you once more lend me your strength. I will offer mine as well, and grant you a finite glimpse into the power of the mother." She said. Selina rose to her feet as she realized that, above all else, that she could not allow that future to come to past.
"I am ready." Selina answered without hesitation. Konohana nodded as she moved back to the burning bush. Her right arm rose as the fire erupted into a pillar of blue flames. Konohana then opened her palm and pointed her extended arm toward her partner. The blue flames overwhelmed her, and initially Selina rose her arms to protect her. However, once in the flames, she felt a swirl of power settle within her. The flames died down, and Konohana disbursed into blue flames. Selina felt the warmth of her heart calm down, and she knew what her purpose was.
