One of the visions I had recently certainly was inspiring, so I have been drawing quite a bit of sketches. I ended up turning this one into a painting though, it's been a little distracting. I was wondering if anyone has seen anything similar, which is why I'm sharing one of them here. It was pretty eye-catching how the letters in the sky kept floating upward.

(( ooc: please ignore the characters at the bottom and the treasure chest, and pretend that the scenery continues underneath them. ))

It is rather difficult to replicate those lines of text, I would think.

Oh, yes. Indeed.

Did they seem like images or merely projections to you?

The letters in the sky? They seemed very real, the same way clouds does.

[ since he's a bit too busy to read all the other comments: ]

What do they say?

Various things, but they’re excerpts from novels and poems.

If you can trace the authors, it may leave some clues.

Oh. I do know where they are from.

Those being...?

For example, parts of works by Issa and Ono no Komachi.

Those are from your homeland, are they not?

Yes, they are. They’re pretty well-known back there.

Then perhaps you were dreaming of that place.

Well, I do dream of it sometimes but it felt different.

You could have painted them, in the past. It seems something artistic.

Perhaps so. Sometimes I do like to illustrate images I get from things that I read.

I hope you will be able to see this vision again. Perhaps it will give more information the next time.

Seeing it again would possibly be helpful in figuring out what is going on in it, so it would be good to see it again.

Please let me know if you do.

I will do my best to do so.
