I went to a shrine, Nukisaki shrine.
It was so crowded. So I went to the other shrine instead of praying here.
The next story
Suenaga started to talk in a low voice.
“I’ve
been suffering from a nightmare recently. It’s almost all night. Last night, I
dreamed that my neck was shot with an arrow. I was sleeping in the wasteland
where nobody is.”
“That
must be hard.”
“And
also, I dreamed that the ships I was commanding suffered shipwreck while I was
going ahead through the ocean. It was because of huge windstorm.”
“Tragedy
on the ocean… I often hear of the people who have been suffering from the nightmare
which is connected with water.”
“Oh, I’m
not the only one.”
“Exactly.
”
Suenaga
looked confused.
“It’s
strange. What do you think about that?”
“I think
these phenomenon are connected with the fall of the Heike”
“You’re
talking about the battle of Dannoura.”
“Yes, it
was the final battle of Heike-Genji wars. It was awful incident. That chapter
requires us a lot of concentration.”
“It
would be the ending scene. I’ve heard
that a little child, the grandson of the highest authority Tairano Kiyomori
dies at that scene. His ship was wrecked at the battle of Dannoura.”
“Yes, he
was only 8 years old then. It is said that he was matured and sensible like
adult.”
Jougen said calmly.
“But
what’s the connection of the nightmare?”
“The
child was given the name, Antoku as an emperor. It is said he has been still alive
as vengeful spirits.”
