>As you approach, Tenshi draws her sword. Iku seems to be trying to calm Tenshi down to little effect.

The problem's a bit obvious with heaven looking like a wasteland.

>"It isn't helping that the Dragon is barely alive right now. Can we save the argument for after we help it?"

Have you ever noticed that if you pause halfway through and look around, the room's a bigger mess than it was when you started? That's what this is."
>Not that we've ever actually done one of those ourselves. That's what Ran's for.
>"There were seals all over heaven, creating illusions and hiding what had truly become of it. I removed those seals, exposing the truth of Heaven's current state, and now that I have done so, we can begin restoring it to how it should be. the first step of which, I think, is seeing to the dragon, which was in a somewhat... less-than-ideal condtion. You would likely know how to aid it better than I, so I will take you to it."

>Iku looks rather distraught.

>"No. The one who started all this was a kappa named nitori, who, two years ago, attempted to artificially reproduce my abilities. The experiment failed, and ended up making quite the mess of Gensokyo. She's a completely different person now, though-losing all of one's memories can do that to a person-and is genuinely horrified at what she's done. She's been working ever since then to fix things. As a matter of fact, I would still be trapped within the border were it not for her efforts."
>"And the rest of what's happened to Gensokyo was actually done by Reimu, who seems to have gone a bit crazy herself. I believe it was her who placed the seals throughout this realm to create the illusion you were seeing until now."
>"I have work to do, and Iku, I believe I will likely need your help, as I know little about the dragon. I think it's best we get moving right away."

>Of course why anyone thinks that Tenshi's advice of all people is worth anything, we'll never know.
