After long weeks of preparation, the day I had dreamed of is finally approaching. My ship is ready, and soon I will leave the familiar comforts of the temple behind to carry Izuna‘s message of love, hope, and harmony among the stars. Before departing, I spend long hours in prayer, seeking the serenity to face the unknown with a peaceful heart and the determination to fulfil my mission. I know the road ahead will not always be easy, but I place my trust in Izuna and the path she has shown me.
Reiko and Natsuki are there to see me off. As I prepare to board my ship, I feel an unexpected mixture of excitement and sadness. Their friendship has already given me so much, and knowing that they will be waiting for me, even among the distant stars, makes this immense adventure feel a little less daunting. We exchange our final words and promises, and then I turn towards the ship that will become my home throughout the pilgrimage. It is time to take my first step into the vastness of space.
Before beginning, I have written down a few rules to guide my journey and give purpose to every system I visit: I will explore every station within each system; leave messages sharing Izuna’s teachings in every system I reach; visit every temperate planet, which I regard as one of the greatest expressions of Izuna‘s presence in the universe; and enter each system at least five times before considering it fully explored. These principles will help me remain faithful to my mission, even when the journey becomes long and difficult. My pilgrimage has not yet begun, but my heart is already among the stars.
May Izuna guide my steps and bring a little more love and hope to every place I visit.
