Koumei's Shrine/Quotes

Spoken by Saya when interacting with Koumei's shrine.
== Introduction ==
* "The Quills see what has been and what will be, and they do not share their knowledge. But the likes of you and I, we may wish to steal a glimpse of our fate - to change it, even. This is the shrine of Koumei, the dice-maiden, the puppeteer. A long-hidden oracle for the ordinary folk." 
==Villager's Poem==
*Ostron Worshipper: "Koumei, what shall be my fate? Adrift in the river of destiny, I will flow with you. Gamble with my life, for I choose to roll the dice. Cast out evil, though I see it is a part of me. To make this choice is my only choice. Koumei, what shall be my fate?" 
== Greetings ==
*"Koumei's blessing upon you." 
*"May your fate be a worthy one." 
*"Ah. Welcome back." 
*"You are welcome here, surah." 
*"The shrine is always open to you." 
*"Will you swim or flow with the current?"

== Offer Fate Pearls ==
*"For so many years, her shrine was thought lost.  And yet, it was here - hidden from view!  All the time, there is always hope." 
*"When Onko disappeared, and the Quills would tell me nothing, I cast the Five Fates.  Of all the patterns to get, it was the Blooming Flower. Ai yo, how I raged then! *laughs* Koumei knew best." 
*"Little by little, our efforts shape our fate. Just as the waves wash at the stubborn rock, we see nothing, and again nothing - until all at once, with the sound of thunder, the plain truth is laid bare." 
*"Whether they wait or sleep, the Infested demons are there, beneath the waves.  I cannot forget that vision.  One day, they will arise - but not yet.  Not yet." 
*"When Hai-Luk and I were young, she told me tales of fishing alone after dark.  How she would hear strange knockings on the underside of her boat.  So often it is the children who truly know, while the adults scoff." 
*"On some days, the sea gives a rich bounty.  On others, it brings storms and chaos.  The dance of the waves is the dance of fate, and none know where it shall bear us." 
*"When Mer-Sah cast himself and his posessions into the deep, all order broke down for a time.  Some say Koumei rose then on the foam of the dancing waves." 
*"You know the little bug that skitters over the water's surface - the dancer on the unknown deep? Koumei knows him.  He sends us messages from her, if we have the cunning to read them."
