Kokoro

After the events in Kojiki, a sad and lonely Roarke mourns in secret while the world he’s supposed to rule falls into chaos. 

The Earth is at peace and the Great Spirits have disappeared into the Boundaries to heal the wounds the war left behind. But Roarke Zar Ranok, Great Spirit of Earth is hiding inside a new planet, Higo, still grieving the loss of his mate, Botua.

Knowing of Roarke’s pain, Takeshi Ahk-kiko, Great Lord of Spirit pulls Higo from time until Roarke is ready to become a present God. But eventually the people of Higo evolve without Roarke and develop only a vague notion of his existence. Even so, they await his return with eager anticipation, turning to hope in the face of a religious civil war--all except for one, that is--Baiyren Tallaenaq, Prince of Higo and heir to its throne.
