The Original
By: Melissa Jean Moon and All of her friends
Author Commentary: If you have ever seen the real, Fushigi Yuugi: Mysterious Play, Japanese Anime then you know that the main characters are the Priestess, well in this story the main character is a girl named Haktura Kunzite. She is a Dria Warrior, about 20 years old, and the daughter of the Emperor of the Kusco Empire. This is the story of how she saved the Empire of Konan and the Priestess of Dria with the help of the other Dria Warriors, the Suzaku Warriors, and a group of Senti. The Story begins with how Haktura came to be in Konan:
~Starting Sequence~
Haktura staggered down the road toward Konan, she was careful enough to stay hidden by the trees that were along side the road.
*I must get to Konan* she thought as she grimaced in pain. She had over heard some guards talking about attacking the
emperor, and Haktura knew that she had to tell Hotohori or at least die trying to. She had been stabbed by the sword of one of the soldiers and left to die. She looked at the path of blood that followed her.
*Almost there, just a little farther,
must warn the emperor* as she walked into the Konan palace she could walk no farther. she shouted
hoping someone would hear her and come to see what it was she needed. "Help me Someone please!! I have a message for the
emperor." She collapsed in the street outside the throne room.
"Must warn emperor." she said as she
slipped into unconsciousness.
Taka and Miaka had just entered the palace when they heard the cry for help. The two of them rushed in the
direction of the voice, finding the young woman lying unconscious. "I wonder what's so important for her to need to see
Hotohori?" Miaka said, as Taka picked the woman up in his arms.
Taka carried Haktura to the throne room. "Sire This Lady was found outside the throne room.
She is
unconscious now but she said something about warning you about something" Taka said.
"Take her to a room and we shall try to save her as best we
can." Hotohori said
"Yes Sire" Taka answered as he walked away.
A few hours later.....
"How is she?" Hotohori asked as he came into the girl's room
"Much better sire. she is now awake enough to tell you the warning." Miaka said
"Great, let's hear it." he walked over to Haktura and asked her what it was she had to say.
"Sire" she said starting to stand up. she was to weak to do so , so she fell back against the pillows.
"Sire there are Kusco Soldiers on there way here to attack the
palace."
"Taka go get the guards and soldiers ready. have them prepared for a
battle."
"Yes
Sire." and he ran off to gather everyone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the GM:
All of the Suzaku Warriors have been found and are some where in the Palace. A Girl has just showed up with a really bad wound. they found out from this girl that Kusco Soldiers are on their way to attack Konan, and Hotohori has put his guards to watch for the attacking army. Miaka and Taka are in the same room as Hotohori, and are awaiting
Taiitsukun or someone with info on the Shinzahoe.
Haktura has the info but being that she was injured so bad she can't say much
and wishes she had telepathic abilities. Let's see what happens next....
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kaika who had been standing nearby approached Hotohori. "Can I be of some help
Sire?" the once former Seiryuu warrior
asked, "I could go and infiltrate the army and
find out what they are up to."
"It's worth a shot, your
majesty" Nuriko said.
"Yes please do so" Hotohori replied to the kid.
"That would be a great idea."
Haktura looked at the kid that was standing there "Who are
they?" she asked pointing to the people who
had just walked into the room.
Hotohori pointed to each person and introduced them to her.
Then asked her where she had come from.
"I came from the town of Kusco the place that is about to attack
you." she said hoping that nothing would
happen to her. "I was on my way home from a friends house when I came upon the guards. I over heard them and
accidentally stepped on a twig they attacked me and left me for dead. I of course have the power to heal
but for some reason it won't work." She looked at the emperor to see if he showed any signs of wanting to
hurt her. she cringed when he lifted his hand.
"Don't worry I won't hurt you. You are now under my protection, and you can stay here for as long as you
want to." He turned to Miaka.
"go get Mitsukaki"
"Yes Sire" Miaka said and ran out the door and in a few minuets she walked back in with the healer. Mits
kneeled beside Haktura and put his hands over her to heal her. instantly she was healed but was still
very
tired from her journey.
"Come let's let her get her rest, she needs all the sleep she can get, for I would like to know more about this Kusco that she talks
about" Hotohori said.
Haktura looked at them as they left. *I think I'll leave in the morn. I don't want to be a burden to them and besides. If I stay they will be in worse trouble then they are
now.* she looked out the window.
*the
emperor must be worried by now being as his only daughter is now missing.* she slowly fell asleep.
Awaking the next morn she decided she would stay at least for a few more days. she waited for someone to come and get her for breakfast.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While Haktura was talking to Hotohori, Kaika, along with Nuriko and Tasuki left the palace to kill some of the soldiers. They picked out three horses, Tasuki choosing a gentle looking horse that wouldn't cause him any problems, and rode off in the direction of the Kusco camp.
Once the camp was in sight, the three of them got off their horses, and ambushed three soldiers, relieving them of their uniforms. Tasuki, Kaika and Nuriko then entered the camp undetected to begin their mission.
Taka silently followed the warriors. he knew what they were up to and wanted to see how it turned out.
CRACK!!! *shoot stepped on a twig.* instantly he was
surrounded by solders, tied up and put under heavy guard. *Shoot why'd I get my self into this. I hope
the guys will help me get out of this*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"... And they caught this idiot wandering the
camp" a guard said, as the disguised Tasuki, Amiboshi and Nuriko sat around the campfire. "I swear, Konan sending children to spy on us. Have you ever heard
anything so funny?"
The three of them looked at each other. "Who do you suppose it
is?" Amiboshi asked.
"Only one way to find out" Nuriko said, standing up, "I'll go find
out." She stood up and headed to the tent
where Taka was being held, a uniform in his hand. "Why are you here,
Taka?" Nuriko asked, entering the
tent "You should be helping Miaka and the others back
in Eiyo."
"I had to leave. I had a mission to take care of and saw you guys. I thought I'd see what you were up to
before caring out my mission." Taka said.
"Sorry if
I've messed things up for you. Can I leave now please?" Taka looked at Nuriko.
"I have to
complete my mission then return to Konan."
"Go ahead" Nuriko
answered, "but put this on first. That way you won't be
recognized." She tossed Taka the
spare Kusco soldier's uniform.
"Thank you Nuriko." Taka said and ran off to find Tomni and let him know of the attack and that
Haktura was at the palace.
"Haktura Kunzite is at the Konan
Palace!!!!" Tomni yelled
"Don't you remember who she
is?"
"No Sire. Who is she?" Taka asked
"She is the my Daughter you
idiot!!" Tomni said. The Emperor looked at Taka.
"Go at once to the
emperor and tell him who she is."
"Yes Sire." Tomni said and ran off to Konan. When he arrived at Konan he ran straight to the palace to let the
emperor know the news.
"
She is Who!?!" Hotohori shouted
" She is the daughter of the Emperor of Kusco,
Sire " Taka told him.
As they spoke Haktura walked into the room undetected. she knew that now that the
emperor of Konan knew who she was it was certain death. She walked up beside Taka and knelt before the
emperor. "
Sire now that you know who I am what are you going to do with
me?
"
Miaka, who had been sitting beside Hotohori this whole time now whispered something into his ear.
"Sire let her go. don't harm her or
the whole empire will be destroyed. let her live here as long as she needs to and do not harm her for you gave your word that you would
not."
"Yes you are right Miaka, I will do as you have
suggested." He turned to Haktura.
"You may live here for as long as you want. I already gave
my word that you were not to be harmed and so you shall not."
"Thank you Sire."
"But you must send word to your father and let him know that you are
safe."
"Yes Sire" Haktura said and ran to the room given her to write her father.
Here is what the letter said:
Dear Father,
Hey it's me Haktura. I'm ok so you don't have to worry. they are treating me so kindly here in Konan. yes daddy I ran away. but I had to. I was on a way home from a friends house when one of your guards attacked me. I was hurt real bad but made it to Konan to let them know of the guards plans to attack Konan. they have made me healthy again and my wounds are all healed. Give my regards to mom. I shall be home in a few days. they said that I could stay here for a while. and the Priestess is so pretty and nice. well I'll see you in a few days daddy. please punish Tomias for his attack on me.
She sealed the letter with her personal seal and handed it to Taka who then delivered the letter and waited for a response from the Kusco Emperor.~Haktura Lakuna Kunzite
Haktura sat straight up in bed. she knew that she would have to go back home soon if she expected to keep the peace between the two kingdoms. but she so liked Hotohori that it wasn't funny. *but I know that as long as I am here Tomias' army can't attack Konan due to Dria and Suzaku.* she thought. *what will happen if I leave? Will I be killed? Will Konan be attacked?* she lay back down upon the bed. still weak from the loss of blood. Miaka walked in and asked her how she was doing. "I'm as good as can be expected." she replied and slowly fell asleep while Miaka sat by her side.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So who was the
prisoner?" Tasuki asked as Nuriko rejoined him and Amiboshi.
"Taka" replied the purple-haired
Seishi "he followed us into
camp."
"Idiot" muttered
Tasuki "what possible reason would he do that. Did he want us to blow our cover and get
caught?"
"Calm down" Amiboshi
said "there was no harm done."
Tasuki snorted and downed some of the sake from the whisk he had brought with him.
"I say the next time he
does a stupid stunt like that, we let him get away by himself."
The group was sitting near the woods around a fire, when Chichiri saw them. he snuck in as close as he
dared. "Hey you guys." he said in a whisper just loud
enough for them to hear. "Haktura is the daughter of the emperor of Kusco. in the morning the Kusco army
will pack up their things and go home. the leader has
been thrown in jail for his attack on Haktura." he said staying in the shadows.
"try to get back to
Konan as soon as possible"
Tasuki, Amiboshi and Nuriko nodded slightly in Chichiri's direction. The three of them headed out of
camp, pretending to be going on patrol, then headed
back to Eiyo and the Konan palace.
Chichiri walked back into the palace. "they are on their way
sire" he said to Hotohori.
"Thank you Chichiri." he answered
"now please go check on the others and see how Haktura is
feeling."
"Yes Sire"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I feel like a drink" Tasuki said, as the trio stepped foot into the capital of
Konan "tell Hotohori I'll be back
later."With
those words, the red-haired, bandit leader raced off to the nearest bar, before
Nuriko had a chance to stop him. Grinning to himself as he walked into the
closest bar that he could, Tasuki moved straight to the bar counter and sat
down, slamming his fist onto the counter. "I want some sake!"
Nuriko sighed, then looked at Amiboshi. "Come
on" she said, continuing
onwards "let's get back to the
palace."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haktura
was looking out her window when Nuriko and Amiboshi walked into the palace. *something is up I just know
it.* she thought. she crept out of her room and ran
to the throne room to listen in on the conversation.
GM:
This is where we start the Role-playing. We are starting in the throne room as
it says above. And so here goes the
Gaming:
Asha wandered from the forests exhausted and dirty. She had heard many things
about Hotohori and his kindness. The young woman was hoping to ask for entry
into his good graces...whatever that meant. An orphan since the age of 4, there
is not much that she can remember of a life before the forests. Recently
invading forces had ransacked her small living area and destroyed it. In fleeing
she left behind all that she had except the clothing she wore and the cloak on
her back. Creeping through the
borders, she found herself at the Emperor's castle. Wishing to not look
conspicuous she shed her cloak. Her beauty was apparent with long wavy brown
hair that she kept flowing down her back and over her shoulders, emerald green
eyes, and a defined body. There is no room for mistakes in the forest. So
accordingly she had the body of a huntress and the mindset of one as well. A
small sack hung around her waist.
Haktura
looked around to make sure no one was watching her. She noticed a girl of about
19 standing near by. She walks over to her and asks her who she was.
Hearing
another’s voice she turned and was startled horridly. Composing her self she
started her introduction, "I
am Asha Kito. I have no family and I come from nowhere in particular. Any wooded
area is my home. I know nothing of who I was before I was 4 and I know nothing
of a family line. " She thought for a bit and then added, "Well nothing
except for a strange birthmark that's on my lower back. I have lost everything
recently and have come to ask the Emperor for acceptance into his kingdom.
"
After finishing all that she had said she looked at this stranger
carefully, "Who are
you?"
"My
name is Haktura, I am the daughter of the Kusco Emperor. I am here because one
of my Father's Guards was trying to start a war with Hotohori." Haktura
looked at the girl. "Come with me." she led the way into the throne
room where the Emperor sat. Bowing before Hotohori, Haktura explained who the
girl was. she pulled Asha in front of her. "Go ahead speak to him, he is
waiting."
Being
led by this Haktura, she entered the throne room. Bowing before the Emperor she
spoke, "As you have been already informed I am Asha Kito. Many misfortunes
have befallen me in the past years. I assume my parents were born and served
here because my last memories are of this palace. My memories of you and your
grace and understanding are all that I had to find my way here. It was only by
chance that I am here alive humbly asking for admittance into your kind
kingdom." She stared at her feet after finishing her speech unsure of what
Hotohori might say.
"Rise
my child, come closer so that I may see your face better." Hotohori called
Haktura followed Asha as she stepped toward the emperor. "That's much
better, I can see by your face that you are a kind person, so I will put you to
work in the kitchen. If that is all right with you?" The emperor asked her
Miaka
looked out over the room, She was standing beside Hotohori and smiling as he
spoke to the new girl that had come into the room.
Asha
smiled and bowed graciously. "Thank you so much my Emperor. I will not fail
you. I am a wonderful cook!! Tonight I shall create a feast for all to enjoy.
This will be my gift to you and to those under your roof." Completely
excited she turned to leave and then remembered something. Asking meekly
"My Lord......I have traveled a very long way and I am both filthy and
unkempt. Where might I be able to place my things and clean myself up?"
Hotohori
nodded and then looked first at Miaka and then to Haktura, and then finally to
Asha. "I understand your concern. Haktura, since you have found this young
lady do you think you would have the time to make her comfortable? I'm sure
Miaka would be more than happy to go with you and acquaint you with our home. I
would do all this myself, but I have things to attend to here." He smiles
at her "I look forward to your feast tonight and I thank your escorts in
advance for seeing to your well being. And ladies while you are around, if you
should see anyone that is not here please tell them of Asha's arrival and of the
special meal we will be having."
Before
the girls could leave, Tasuki staggers into the hallway, swearing loudly at the
guards as they chase after him and chase him into the throne room. "WHAT
THE F'ING HELL!? I'M NOT F'ING DRUNK ARE YOU SUCH DUMB IDIOTS THAT YOU CAN'T SEE
THAT!?" His mouth was opened wide as he yelled, revealing his fangs and his
eyes filled with a fiery rage that suited him, that matched his fiery red-orange
hair. "HOTOHORI-SAMA! Call yer
f'ing guards off before they become roasted!!!!" He yells again, holding
his tessen in front of him, the smell of sake pouring from his skin and clothes.
The guards moved closer to him and he lifted his tessen, ready to flame them,
the words that he used ready to roll off his sake filled tongue.
Surprised
by Tasuki's entrance but not wanting to cause a scene in front of his guests he
called off the guards, "It's okay. Leave him be. Now Tasuki where have you
been." Thinking about it for a moment. "Nevermind. We both know what
you've been up to. Since you are here I would like to introduce you to Asha
Kito. She will be staying with us here and also working in the kitchen."
Asha
waves at this red haired one thinking of how completely drunken he looks. She
smiles, he reminds her of a close friend she used to know. Not wanting to anger
him she bows in greeting. "Nice to meet you." She laughs and speaking
a little more sarcastically "The nerve of those guards! It's quite obvious
that you're in your right mind! Where do they get off chasing you like some
common thief?"
Tasuki
eyes Asha for a moment and huffs "I hate women!" He stares at Hotohori
for a moment, and then passes out drunkenly onto the ground in a deep sleep.
Asha
laughs as he hits the floor. Then she continues to leave the Throne room
stepping over Tasuki's body. When she reaches the door. "I thank you again
My Lord. I look forward to meeting everyone at dinner tonight."
"I
hope you find your accommodations satisfactory. I apologize for Tasuki's
behavior. He's a handful. Now if you would two would show Asha around, I would
be appreciative."
"Aiieeee!!
No! It's not bath time, Aidou!! NNOOO!!!" Tasuki yells in his sleep, having
one of his bath nightmares again, "noo! Gah! LEGGO OF ME! Yer not f'ing
human! Yer.. I DUNNO WHAT!"
Hotohori
sighed and turned to his guards "Please
take him to his room. I think he has had one too many drinks."
Looking at the girls "Again I look forward to seeing you at
dinner."
Miaka
follows Asha out of the throne room and shows her the way to the kitchen,
"I have a question for you Asha." she turns to look at the girl
"Are you a Dria chosen warrior?" She blushes as she asks, she points
to Haktura who just walked in and says "She is a Dria warrior, and also the
daughter of the Kusco Emperor, They have been searching for the 7 Dria Warriors
and I thought maybe you might be one."
Haktura walks over to Asha. "Please say that you are, I have been looking
everywhere for them and I would love it if you were one"
Asha
looked at both Miaka and then at Haktura and then turned lifting her loosely
worn shirt a little, "See that
funny looking character on my back?? Well I'm not quite sure what it means. But
it glows when I get angry. I'm not sure if that tells you anything or not."
Laughing a bit. "It would be kinda cool if I were though."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM:
Let's move this conversation to the kitchen section now
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM:
Back to the Throne Room again
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maxiumus
Rides up the road to Konan even thought he has been at a steady trot for some
hours Mercury has yet to break a sweat. "A little farther old
friend" Maximus whispers to his horse in Latin as a he approaches the gate
to the palace. "
I have heard much if this Hotohori" he thinks.
"Let us hope that his is a hospitable as the stories say".
Startled by the voice of another, he turns, dismounts and bows
graciously. "Hail, I am Maxiumus Atrius, I come from the lands far to the
West. I have traveled far today and have come to beg Ceasar's, excuse me,
the Emperor's hospitality. If he sees fit to honor my request."
The
guard nods and enters the throne room with the stranger close at hand. Upon
reaching the Emperor he stops, "Sire, this traveler wishes to have an
audience with you."
Hotohori looked at this foreigner and his attire...*”A guest from Rome?”*.
Bowing slightly in greeting, "How wonderful to have a visitor from so far
away. I take it you have traveled a long distance to get here. What is your
business here?" Not wanting to mention the bandits until he was sure that
this man was not one of them, he looked at him cordially and waited for a
response.
Haktura
wanders around the palace and spots the stranger entering the throne room. She
follows behind him and sneaks up beside the emperor. "Hope I didn't startle
you Sire. I just want to know about this stranger." Haktura whispered to
Hotohori. She looks at the stranger and gives him a shy smile. She sits on the
steps to the right of Hotohori.
Taka
walks into the Throne Room. "Sire, the feast is ready in the Great
Hall...." He stops mid sentence when he spots the stranger. "I-I'll
have them set one more place Sire if that is alright with you?" he stammers
then waits for Hotohori to speak.
He
looks to Haktura, "No not at all. It seems we are all awaiting his
introduction." To Taka, "Please do so."
Maxiumus
returns Hotohori's bow. "My name is Maxiumus. I am most thankful for
your welcome sire. I hope that my presence is not too sudden. Indeed I have
traveled leagues beyond counting. From the Walls of Sparta to the gates of
Carthage and beyond. If you would permit me to change into more suitable
attire, I would be honored to join you at your table." Noticing Haktura he bows to her and smiles warmly.
"I do not believe I have had the pleasure of making your
acquaintance."
Haktura blushes, "M-My name is Haktura the daughter of the emperor of
Kusco, and the leader of the Dria seven." she said stammering at first,
then becoming more confident, "Hotohori asked me to stay here a few days
after his people had saved my life." Haktura blushed more at the look that
Maxiumus gave her. "I would be honored if you would sit by me at the
feast?" She asked him.
Hotohori
smiled at the exchange between the two, "Well then it is settled Maxiumus,
you shall join us for dinner." Sensing an opportunity to do a little more
good, "Haktura, I'm sure, will be more than happy to show you as far as the
West Corridors. There a guard shall take you the rest of the way if she cannot
find your room from that point."
"It
would be a pleasure, sire” Maxiumus responds. Then turns back to Haktura
"Well, Haktura, shall we. You lead the way."
"S-Sure"
Haktura stammered and lead the way out in to the hall of the palace.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM:
This part conversation is now moved to Tamahome's Chambers.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Haktura
lead the way out to the hall. "First of all we need to get you an outfit
for the feast, it will be starting with in the next half hour." she blushed
a little and lead the way to Tamahome's room, "Tamahome should have
something nice for you to where."
"Tell
him that I am grateful for the offer but I do carry my own formal garment. But
if he would permit me to change and freshen up I would be glad."
"Sure
We can ask him that when he answers the door." Haktura said blushing.
Tamahome
has begun undressing when he hears the knock on the door. He quickly refastens
his sash opening the door. "Please, enter Priestess and honor me with your
presence." He nods in acknowledgement to Miaka then steps back to allow her
access.
"Thank
you Tamahome" Miaka replied "Haktura and The new Guy Max is here also
they need to use your room till one is fixed up for him, just so that he can
freshen up for the feast tonight, That is if you don't mind."
"I hope you don't mind that we showed up with out warning, The emperor
suggested we ask you if he could use your room till after the feast."
Haktura said her face a little red.
Haktura turns and runs out the door, Smiling at Max as she leaves. "See you
at the Feast Max" she shouts as she runs off to get ready herself for the
Feast.
"Oh sure by all means he can use it, just so long as he doesn't touch my
stuff. So I hope he brought his own clothes to change into." Tamahome
closes the door behind the others as he walks over to his closet pulling out a
purple satin gi with gold trim and pants. Both items are ornately embroidered
with gold thread.
"Now, Miaka, I may be comfortable with you watching me change in here but I
don't think Max will. So, we'll have to see you at the feast."
"T-That’s ok Tamahome. But
don't forget that I need to talk to you about something." Miaka said and
left the room.
Haktura
sat down on the bed; she couldn't decide what she wanted to wear that night. She
lay down and fell asleep thinking about what to wear.
It
was only a matter of time before the feast and all the preparations had been
set. All that was needed now was for Asha to change and enjoy the meal with
everyone else. Having some free time she decided to take a little walk. Seeing
Haktura in her room sleeping through the cracked door, she knocked lightly,
"Haktura...??"
Haktura
awoke, was that knocking she heard? It was, "Yes Come in?" She sat up
on the bed and waited for whoever it was to enter.
Entering
the room she was pensive, "I'm sorry to wake you. Were you sleeping?"
"Yeah
but I guess it is time to get up anyhow." Haktura said. "Is the meal
almost ready? I can't wait to taste some of you cooking." She stopped and
thought a minuet. "Why did you come to see me any way?"
Asha
looked slightly flushed "I didn't want
anything in particular. It's just that.. I know little to nothing about what I'm
supposed to do...as far as the whole Dria thing goes." She
shrugs "I guess it doesn't really matter. It's dinner time."
Taka
enters the room just as Haktura is about to explain Asha's role as a Dria
warrior. he interrupts her and explains him self. "Well as a Dria Warrior
your duties are to protect the Dria Priestess, (whom we still have yet to
rescue.) until she is able to summon our God Dria."
"He is right, the only problem we have is that as soon as we have all of
our warriors we still have to rescue our Priestess from the enemy." Haktura
finishes. "Taka is the feast set up for us now?"
"Yes his majesty says that we are to eat within the hour." Taka says
then slowly leaves the room, hoping that Asha will follow him. He really liked
her and hoped she felt the same about him.
Protect
the Priestess huh? Sounds easy enough. Or maybe that's because she was still
very unsure if she could do it. However she nodded with some determination,
"I'm sure I can do that."
Watching Taka leave she excused herself,
"I guess I should go make sure everything is okay with the
feast." Waving to Haktura,
Asha jogged the hall and then slowed to an easy pace as she caught up with Taka.
Not knowing what to say really, she tapped him on the shoulder and then sat on a
nearby railing with the approaching darkness to her back. Smiling gently
"I was hoping that I'd get the chance to talk to you."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GM:
The conversation between Taka and Asha is out in the hall now. Haktura is
getting dressed for the feast and Miaka is waiting for it to begin. All of the
Suzaku warriors (except for Tamahome) are in the throne room waiting for
Hotohori to give them orders on what to do about the upcoming raid on the town,
and the 2 Dria Warriors that King Tomni sent will be on their way in the
morning.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
