You could say it makes me a harbinger. Of fate... of change, at least. They say whenever a D. makes his name known, a storm arises. Things begin to happen, coincidences pile up with the D. in the center. Sometimes there's actual storms too that brew up when it's truly major.

Setting the deck. And when everything unfolds - sometimes years, decades later, those events then have a massive impact on the state of the world.

But is it a good thing? Or a bad thing? I don't know. I don't know what it's about beyond what Miss Robin and I've observed. Except it's feared terribly and surrounded by superstition. The D. will eat your children. Things like that.

Our 'Gods' are the Tenryuubito. Celestial Dragons, World Nobles. Descendants of twenty kings of old, who think themselves not man but divine. They're treated as such, enforced as such, but they're false.

There's other gods we believe in - I myself consider the sea and storm sacred, even if I don't have a particular faith - but we're supposed to put them first.

It's from Mairejois, their home, the term came from. The Tenryuubito and the D. are a danger to each other. That's at least what I was told.
