"What they've already brought up will help - help and defenses near the edge of the dream-of-evil around the crater. Releasing any other prisoners the Seidou might hold, and diplomacy regarding where the border between our lands and theirs lie. We have plenty of supplies and the rest of that."

"... Actually, a diplomatic envoy to their new Emperor may be important."

"I was born in the northern mountains." Kinsen speaks as she sees a good spot to do so.

"My mother had the spirit of lion-guardian beasts. She changed herself to live as one of my father's wife. After years of harsh winters, she died. The tribe had to go down the mountain for food. They were attacked by bandits even more vile than what Nenzi-sama mentions of the Seidou. The Noriaki tribe."

She continues, "I was stolen by their leader. Became his pet. Chained. I grew up fierce, tall, with the strength of the beasts of old. Since I was dangerous, the Noriaki chieftain used me as a weapon. When the gods fell from the sky, I was meant to kill them."

The Stag explains further, "I was defeated. Yet, the gods did not kill me. They took care of me, explained their vision of a better world, and took me in, as family. They freed me."

Looking to each other one married to a Kami, she nods, adding, "I killed the Noriaki leader, and showed the tribe how to change. They did. Just like the Seidou will. We are people you can trust, if not, befriend. Allow us this opportunity. Let's help each other. Future will define the rest."

She wanted to ask if we knew what was taking place in their politics. I told her to relay the pertinent information, but has not done so yet.

He turned to them, “We will need the help you promised in fight-fight. Also release all Brave-Warriors-Who-Remember held by hairless-ones. Also set our land and your land. Also send Wise-Brave-Warrior-Who-Remembers to your chief.”

He then listened to Kinsen’s story and relayed it best he could to his father.

“Speak what change you think-think matter and I will tell Chief.” He replied and then whispered a brief synopsis to his father.
"The tribes of old are changing, joining under the banner of the Sun-Children who fell from the Heavens. The Sun-Children, are beings of Heaven, direct children of Sun and Moon, and they are now giving guidance to the humans, providing enlightenment and knowledge. Many Seidou have followed the Sun-Child known as Hida of the Crab - who as Lady Kinsen mentioned is big, strong, and a powerful warrior."

She acknowledged Kinsen's tale to add to it. "Like with her original tribe, the Seidou who have joined Hida are learning better ways."

"As a storyteller, I would gladly share the story of how the Sun-Children came to be here in this Realm, if it's a story the great Chief of North-North Mountain wishes to hear."

Nanzi listened and countered, “We can free your people, Nanzi does not understand the part about land, do you mean protect the land? We can bring one of your brave warriors to Shiba-dono’s court but in return we would need a guide to help us make the journey. There can be no meeting until we return successfully from the Pit. A guide will make that faster and easier, and jade. If your people have Jade they can spare we could have use of it, a fair trade for what we seek to achieve.”

He repeated, “Freeing your people, a guide and jade for introductions to the Emperor, and clarify the bit about the lands, it is unclear.”

Chi’chit relayed these things to his father as faithfully as possible.

He added, “Pick lands for you to live and us to live. Line where we no cross and you no cross.”

And then tried to catch up fully with everything said.

Ch'chit's translations went something like this:

"Child of Monkeys says that their communities are changing. Fallen-rock-man's family all fell from Kingdom of the Sky. She calls them... children of the af'. These Af' children's parents are the Af' and 'kri. She claims they are intelligent, more than hairless-ones. A chunk of the Smelly-Seidou follow this Giant-Brother they were talking about. Apparently these Af' Children are making the hairless-ones stop being so primitive. She also says she has story about Af' Children arriving... if you want to hear it."

"What-zi wants a guide to the pit. And Jade to help protect their pack as they go. He offers freeing our people and allowing our diplomat to travel to the hut of Four-Leafs... with him not understanding what was said about borders... Which I have sought to clarify.... anyway he wishes to trade for jade and a guide in exchange for those things."

Nanzi weighed the request, really anything that hurt the Seidou favored the Empire so he nodded and said, “The Empire can administer the border dispute for both sides, that should not be an issue.”

Looking like they were doing quite well, Kinsen gets a bit anxious and looks to Reiko. The chat was good and all, but the amount of rodent fur was starting to make her nose itchy. Not to say that they had already lost precious time bumping into an impromptu swamp. What else needed to be done to appease the ratlings, by now?

Nanzi added, “We have no wish to interfere with your people and we want to work together. There is perhaps one line that should be clear between us, we will not enslave your people as stated but in turn you will not take any humans, and if any are taken we expect them to be freed.”

“Nanzi does not know if such is the case but wanted to make it clear we would not tolerate it.”

What-zi says slaves are bad. If we have hairless-one slaves he wants them to be set free. He says none of ours will be slaves to them either.

"It doesn't matter. Most of them have been corrupted anyway and fled south. Saying we won't keep the creatures we aren't keeping is hardly a stretch. He already offered to free our people without that... but we'll ignore it for now. Please have Child-of-Monkeys tell her story."

"We can afford to at least give them a guide to the forward camp. Whether that's you or someone else, T'kkiri, is up to you. You are no longer bound to them, according to their promise."

Black Moonset nodded at his father's wisdom.

"Thank you." She bowed deeply to the Chieftain and Ch'chit T'kkiri.

Picking up the small hand-drum she carried with her, Saruko knew that much of the words and expressions might be lost on the Nezumi as she had to work through an intepretor. However, she had noticed that Ik’tch'krit liked music, so she decided to rely on some of the storytelling tools of gentle drum-tapping. Though the attempt to bridge some of the cultural differences and preferences musically wasn't very successful, but at least her storytelling was, as always, quite good.

"The Kami have told us what happened, and many of our seers, prophets, and wise ones also saw what would happen. Lady Reiko here is among one who prophesized that the Sun-Children would come to this realm. This is the tale of the Kami's origin, of how they came to this world."

Her arm moved gracefully, in circular motion to depict the Sun and Moon.

"Lady Sun who shines up the day whom we know as Amaterasu, and Lord Moon who watches over the night whom we know as Onnotangu, were made by the Three Gods Whose Names Cannot Be Spoken. As wife and husband, they rule the Celestial Heavens above together, and created many of the things in the world and gave it names - humans were among such creations. Since the beginning of time, Lord Moon has chased Lady Sun about the world. One day, Lord Moon succeeded in capturing his mate, and it was a day witnessed as an eclipse - where the sun was darkened in the middle of the day."

"Many months later, Lady Sun gave birth to the children of their union - the Ten Kami. Hida, Doji, Togashi, Akodo, Shiba, Bayushi, Shinjo, Ryoshun, and lastly the one we know as Fu Leng. As it is with children, the Ten Kami were a delight and joy to their parents, and the Heavens were brighter and delighted."

"However, Fear began to drive Lord Moon mad. He feared his children would grow stronger and usurp him. That he had lost the love and devotion of his shining mate. It drove him to madness, and he chased down his children and devoured them whole. Lady Sun was horrified and distraught at what was happening to her children, and she did not wish to fight her mate. But she was clever. She hid her last child, Hantei, from Onnotangu and cast a spell on a stone to make it look like Hantei. So when her mate came looking for Hantei, she offered him the enchanted stone, as well as plenty of wine to make him drink himself into a stupor."

"As Lord Moon passed out, Lady Sun brought Hantei to the oldest and wisest dragons of the Celestial Heavens, who would train young Hantei intensely to make him strong enough to face his father, and they would teach him much of what he needed to know to save his siblings - for they knew that his siblings still lived on in their father's belly and they knew that Hantei could not kill Lord Moon. All he would need to do was to cut open his father's stomach, to free the trapped Kami within."

"So when Lord Moon awoke from his stupor, groggy and feeling unwell from the stone he had swallowed, Hantei was ready to face him. Son and father battled across the Heavens, and one of Onnotangu's wild swings tore open a hole in the Heavens. And then, Hantei managed to slash open his father's belly. The deep wound opened up, and the children that had been devoured fell out one by one, into the hole in the Heavens that Onnotangu had created. Hantei too was drawn into this hole, and fell together with his siblings; and they all fell from the Heavens and down into our world. They say Fu Leng fell further from his siblings, and landed in the south, where his fall caused a rift between this world and another world of evil and corruption."

"The Kami Ryoshun had been the first to be devoured by their father, and sadly died before the fall. The remaining ones, however, arrived in the lands of humans. They could see that humans were much like them, but lacked their knowledge and understanding of better ways to live. And after travelling the world far and wide to see and learn about this new world they were now in, they sadly learned that they would not be able to return to the Heavens. Having learned this, they agreed upon becoming the guardians, teachers, and leaders of humanity - and they held a competiton of skill amongst themselves to see which one of them should lead their efforts in guiding humans to grow and live. The victor became Shiba - a patient and wise leader, and from that day onward he has been blessed by the Heavens as their favorite to build a better world."

"The remaining Kami have sworn fealty to follow Shiba and how now established new Clans that will answer the call of Emperor Shiba and to stand with him in building a prosperous Empire. The human tribes of old are joining with the Clans as they learn of the wisdom and ways of the Kami."

"The seers and prophets who foresaw the Kami's fall, also were aware of one who had fallen to the south. When the Kami were made aware of the possibility of their lost brother having survived the fall, this expedition was planned and members of each of the Kami's Clan's, as well as those who serve Emperor Shiba directly, have volunteered to travel to this dangerous land to free Fu Leng."

Having told the story up until the Now, she stopped, and bowed indicating that the tale was concluded for now.

"Where human-kind once were divided, we are now coming together for the first time now to accomplish something greater."

Kinsen inhales proudly hearing the full story once again. She pouts her lips up, recognizing how good Saruko was in making things revive in her mind. So good it is, Kinsen even forgets the cringy drumming.

Then, she looks at T’kkiri, and opens a quasi-mocking grin. He had a load of words to translate.

Once the story was translated to the chief, he looked to his son and mused, "Hmm. I wonder if the one who fought the moon and won resented not winning against his siblings?"

"Still, that helps me understand. Let them know that we will allow them to stay, and they may explore our city and use the library and marketplace as they wish as long as they don't cause trouble. We will send a guide, but we cannot spare our warriors for an endeavor that could either be a fool's errand or put us further at risk if they return with their souls aligned with the dream-of-evil."

"That in mind, however, the less potential danger returning, the better. Jade protects the hairless ones from the nightmare. We will see that any who do not have some will gain enough to go to the Crater and back. Any more, they will have to trade for on their own."
