Nice, history/mythology explanations definitely help flesh out the world.  Also helps explain what's going on beyond just "because it's cool".

Doesn't hurt that it gives the opportunity to add some sex in what would otherwise be a primarily story episode!

Thank you! =) Initially I thought about doing the story stuff as a mere narration by Leiko without any visual stuff to it. But the text for the tale was so much, that it would be too boring. However, that lead to the challenge of finding a proper location for an asian themed tempel in the woods. Thanks to the complete new location and the many many different scenes (since nobody was talking in it and I couldn't use scene-shots several times) this was one of the most work-intensive chapters I have done so far. But it was worth it, since you're absolutly right; after so many chapters I just had to explain why the things are what they are with the Urufu =)

Well it was great. Actually  Shrouded Past explains us so much about Close Alliance's world that it's why I placed it before it in the library, as it eases and enlightens the understanding of the other by presenting its world. It's also more varied in terms of content, and here we had  a sample of an Urufu meeting, and a mythological tale about the Urufu's foundation. Liked that while acting in a surprinsingly depraved manner at first, Amateratsu (nice model btw) in fact condemned the kunoichis to lose their sexual freedom. That's a djinn like punishment in a way. Technically the backgrounds, poses, outfits and expressions were a pleasure to the eye ; and interesting psychological games and conflicts were described. And most of the time written in a fluid and efficient fashion. Great entry ! ?

Malicia : « So they can't stop going honey-honey 'cause the wolf gave them pee-pee itching ?

                That's called candidiasis, uh. They should very try this -> 

                Here, they'll be back to normal in no time, yes.  »

Thank you @Tirloque =)
Means a lot to me from you! As said last time in the comments of chapter 4, I've learned a lot from my mistakes of "Close Alliance" so that the story is now much more understandable and has a visible goal. Maybe I'll have to redo "Close Alliance" some day. But for now.... I'm pretty sure I'll have at least 2 acts for this story line and presumably 12 chapters per act. With my speed we'll there in about three years xD

Amaterasu - The Great Spirit: The mod is great and from nexus of course ^_^ only problem was, that it is a "she" and that the loverslab-mod for it was from Skyrim LE and I'm using SE. Lucky enough, the loverslab mod worked anyway in the SE version. It only lacks here and there with its enb compatibility (at least I guess that this causes the problems I had with it).

Erina : « Thank you! I would love to give it to that women here. But unfortunately they live in a damn cave! Here is no drugstore or ... just anything but dirt?. And I wouldn't recommend you coming over to bring it to them. You would properly regret it...»

So even the wolf was in fact a lesbian. We've now gone full circle ! XD

Jokes aside, it's only normal for your storytelling to improve with experience. And so your past creations could be taken as a witness of your evolution. Anyway, if you've got for 2 seasons worthy of projects, then it means your imagination is still there to stimulate your tale-crafting instincts !

Malicia : « That looks very awful, yes !

                Tabi had problems with a guy in a cave too ! Can't remember his name, but it was Uru something... And he didn't know about drugstores either. Maybe they're related, uh.

                Anyway, I'm gonna very think about a way to carry the tube. Maybe by carrier pigeon, uh. If he stays very high in the sky.  »

It's so amazing, you have to really love the universe you create to manage to make the story so exciting, deep and sexy-romantic!
I like that simutaniosly you touch on several interesting kinks at once(most of my favorite, actually).
The screams and words of other girls in the background also add some depth ^_^
Great job! ^_^

@Tirloque Yeah, you're right. And even if I would rework "Close Alliance" it wouldn't help much as I guess. Better investing the time in "Shrouded Past" which is promising more conflicts and interesting story ?

 @Crw Thank you! Actually I'm neither a big fan of the naruto series or the story of skyrim itself. But maybe that's good, I know less enough of both worlds to create my own out of it =D
