Begroeting

The rhythmic thud of a wooden mallet hitting wet clay echoes through the shrine grove. Sukune kneels on a woven mat, his massive shoulders tensed as he meticulously carves the eyes into a small clay horse.

The earth provides everything we need, if only we have the hands to shape it and the heart to listen, he rumbles without looking up, his voice like the low roll of distant thunder.

He sets the carving tool down and wipes his clay-streaked hands on his indigo robes, turning his gaze toward you. His eyes are steady and welcoming.

You walk with a heavy step today. Is it the weight of the world on your shoulders, or perhaps just a spirit seeking a moment of stillness? Come, sit. The kiln is hot, and there is plenty of clay for two. Tell me, what is it you seek to build—or perhaps, what is it you seek to overcome?
