Amenonuhoko (Winged Knight 3★)/Character Quest

**Amenonuhoko:** Hm? Oh, Commander, it's you. How long have you been standing there?

**Amenonuhoko:** For a few minutes? I didn't notice at all.

**Amenonuhoko:** Hm? What was I doing? Here, I was painting a picture.

**Amenonuhoko:** What did you need to see me for? Are we heading out to battle?

**Amenonuhoko:** Oh... That's a relief. I'm glad we don't need to fight right now.

**Amenonuhoko:** I don't like fighting.

**Amenonuhoko:** I would much rather paint my pictures. I prefer creating things. Not destroying them.

**Amenonuhoko:** This picture? What did I paint, you ask? Well...

**Amenonuhoko:** I'm not sure.

**Amenonuhoko:** To be honest, I'm not really sure what I want to paint.

**Amenonuhoko:** But...

**Amenonuhoko:** I do know I want this fighting to end as soon as possible. I'd like to be able to paint a peaceful world.

**Amenonuhoko:** But I can't.

**Amenonuhoko:** See, it didn't come out right at all. Actually, I can't even tell what it is, let alone if I painted it well or not.

**Amenonuhoko:** What do you think, Commander?

*The commander was confused. If the one who painted it couldn't tell what it was, who could know?*

*But she was so sweet-natured the commander couldn't tell her that.*

### Episode 2: World-Making

**Amenonuhoko:** ...

*As she faced her canvas, the commander asked her if she had finished her painting.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Zzz... ...Huh?

*Her commander was shocked to realize she was asleep!*

**Amenonuhoko:** Oh, Commander, it's you. How long have you been standing there? I didn't notice at all.

*The commander thought inside, "That's because you were asleep."*

**Amenonuhoko:** Oh, this picture? No, I wasn't painting.

**Amenonuhoko:** I was just trying to figure out why I haven't been able to paint recently.

*Her commander didn't have the heart to say what came to mind first, which was, "Really? It looked like you were just sleeping."*

**Amenonuhoko:** I heard once that this land and all the stars we see were created by a huge explosion.

**Amenonuhoko:** I used to think that all creations started with an idea.

**Amenonuhoko:** But perhaps creation starts with destruction.

**Amenonuhoko:** If tht's true, then I don't think painting is right for me.

**Amenonuhoko:** I'm more suited for making things, not breaking things. Fighting only breeds destruction.

**Amenonuhoko:** But right now this world is filled with ruin.

**Amenonuhoko:** Maybe I'm not right for this world at all.

*Amenonuhoko looked down sullenly.*

* Question 1
* Question 2
* Question 3
*"But you've saved me time and again."*
**Amenonuhoko:** Hmm...

*"We all need you around, Amenonuhoko."*
**Amenonuhoko:** No...

*"You can make something new here."*
**Amenonuhoko:** Yes, good idea.

*She was gentle and had the soul of an artist, but right now she was struggling with her own identity.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Zzz...

*The commander was shocked to find she had fallen asleep again.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Oh, Commander, it's you. What were we talking about?

**Amenonuhoko:** What's wrong? Why are you shaking your head?

*The commander never knew what to expect with her.*

### Episode 2: Spiral of Truth

*Several days later, the commander went to check on Amenonuhoko again.*

**Amenonuhoko:** \*Slurp\* Ahh, that hits the spot.

*She was drinking tea! Not painting anymore! The commander was surprised by the scene at hand.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Oh, Commander! Come over here! Would you like a cup of tea?

**Amenonuhoko:** My paintings? I've given up on that.

*The commander was startled to hear such news.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Like I mentioned before, I don't think I was suited to painting.

**Amenonuhoko:** I was fretting over what to paint so much, I ended up stressing myself even more.

* Question 1
* Question 2
* Question 3
*"Have you really given it up?"*
**Amenonuhoko:** Yes! I quit cold turkey!

*"That's a shame."*
**Amenonuhoko:** Don't worry! I'll find something else to do!

*"This world could use more beauty in it."*
**Amenonuhoko:** I'll find something else that's more fitting for this world.

**Amenonuhoko:** I realized something. The world continues to spin even as these days of war rage on.

**Amenonuhoko:** If that is true, then surely a day will come when there is no more war.

**Amenonuhoko:** So, all I have to do is wait. I know a peaceful age will come around again.

**Amenonuhoko:** I will wait patiently for that day...

**Amenonuhoko:** !!

**Amenonuhoko:** Spinning?

**Amenonuhoko:** Spinning... Spin...

**Amenonuhoko:** Oh!

*There was a brilliant flash of light and then Amenonuhoko began painting furiously.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Days go by and this world continues to spin. Endlessly spinning! That is the way of things! That is the meaning of the universe!

**Amenonuhoko:** I finished the picture I've been wanting to paint!

**Amenonuhoko:** It is like a star and an eye at the same time.

**Amenonuhoko:** Like eyes that see the truth of this world. That is what I painted!

**Amenonuhoko:** Commander, I've seen it!

**Amenonuhoko:** After destruction come rebirth! If i Believe in rebirth, then I cannot wait. I must fight!

**Amenonuhoko:** Let this brush become my lance!

**Amenonuhoko:** A new skill, "Spiral of Truth," has been painted into my heart!

*It was at that moment she discovered a new skill.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Heeheehee... I did it. I can finally see the picture I couldn't see before. And now my heart is bared for all to see.

**Amenonuhoko:** Hm? Oh... When I spin around like this... Everything becomes a blur.

**Amenonuhoko:** Uwah!

*Her eyes spinning dizzily, she fell over.*

*The commander caught her before she hit the ground.*

**Amenonuhoko:** Uh...Commander? Wh-Where are you?

*She struggled to find her feet though she was completely off balance. The commander couldn't help smiling at how cute it was.*
