War Cheif Green tries a Charisma Speech Check.

War Cheif Green:"Emperor Staris you and I know killing me in pressure chamber is boring and pointless. How about I serve my time in the Arena. Better yet we can settle this by Duel. After all I hear you have a reputation for swords. Perhaps we can settle this by Duel. If you are going to kill me why not prove to me that you are expert sword fighter that your reputation says you are."

"You challenge me to a duel? Such a right is only reserved for leaders not prisoners." He smiled. "This intrigues me though, but I would rather make this fast and easy for us." He began to place his clawed hand onto the lever slowly finger by finger and started to slowly pull down on it. A falling tone sounded and wheezing could be heard and he began to flip some switches and the doors sealed and fog seeped from the seams as they were pressurized shut. The lights turned off and the room was pitch black and the floor below him opened up lightning fast with a slam. It seemed like a bottomless pit but every way has a end. Water. The room was dark and the water black as well. Staris' laugh echoed from above and the floor above slowly closed up one for all. Perhaps there was an escape, if they could find it. Leading through winding tunnels to the sound of rushing water.

He jumps in water and begins to swim through it... Eventually he falls through waterfall and dives out using his wings to prevent himself from falling too far. He looks around outside to his surroundings.

The waterfall was gargantuan. The blue tides dropped down into a massive lake dotted with large islands and surrounded by cold forests and trees and strange luminescent ponds and plants. Shadows could be seen moving back and forth. Eventually a whistling arrow hit the tree. They had a clear shot but cleary aimed at the nearby tree at the foot of the lake. The arrow hummed and vibrated and a small piece of paper was attached to representing a Zokkan head with two crossed arrows. The symbol of the Draco Manipulas. The elite hunters and assassins of the Lunar Realms. The wind swept off the paper into the wind and the trees swayed and the echo of birds sounded in the distance. It was silent. The sky was dark and it seemed to be nearing night. Finally a hook dart shot out from between the trees straight at the war chief.

Zoberten sends some diplomats and some traders to improve relations with their fellow flying ally.

A meeting is held within the halls of the Beleyn Parliamentary Palace. The ancient Queen Valeria is there herself, donned in a white hooded cloak to hide her body surviving on magic alone at this point - but remaining the vigilant leader of the diplomatic meeting.

In a table set in a stadium-like dome within the beautiful marble Parliamentary halls, half is dedicated to the myriad of ministers for trade and relations, as well as military.

The meeting has a certain agenda in mind, that being:
- Continued trade between the two nations.
- A massive railroad project to connect the two nations together with their political capitals and ports.
- Expansion and colonization into unorganized and anarchic lands of North Zepora - being claims, and the possibility of a joint project.
- Training and sharing of military equipment and arcane methods.
- Joint diplomatic missions and expeditions into unorganized territory.

"Ekambir, Masaki, and Mạnh Hùng... odd mix of names, I like it."

With a grin, the woman would continue to walk, now turned backwards as she pedaled towards the light.

"Well, it's very nice to meet the lot of you. But before we head inside, I have to beg you to take out that fire, Mr. Manh."
The group would arrive at the front door, stopping just before.

Ekambir: “Well our ancestors came from different kingdom, or now known as provinces,” he explains, “Which is why our names are different from one another,” as they were about to enter inside Mạnh Hùng was being told to put out the blue fire that he had summoned around them.

Mạnh Hùng: “Oh, uh, I’m very sorry ma’am Hylina,” he says, snapping his fingers allowing the blue fire to dissipate into thin air he then scratched his head in embarrassment as he didn’t realize it was still summoned.

Hearing about War Chief Green made Rinji weary.

Rinji: “My goddess, by the way you describe him he sounds like our ancestors, purging other species until one came to be superior than the others. Though battles and skirmishes continued for several years until an armistice was drafted and then years and years after that the kingdoms merged together to form the nation.” He says briefly, “Though I shall take you to the prince of the Naju Province. Just be sure to wear a disguise while in public, I’ll get the horse ready while you get ready,” he says, bowing down again to her, and then walking away, he grabbed one of his katanas and sunk it into his holster. He then went out and got the horse, waiting for Amy.

Amy wears her disguise again and has hair hide her ears she gets on horse and waits for Rinji to take her to the Prince.

“Excellent then, we will send word to Kiwasaki.”

Hikaru: “Very well,” he replied, “Would you wish to make the trip back to the San-Furansokyo ports or are you going to stay in an inn for the night?” He asked.

Any got onto the horses saddle and Rinji began ride the horse carefully through the busy streets of Namwon to the Princes Palace. A few minutes later they arrive at a peaceful road where the entrance to the Palaces gates are located at. 2 Samurai guards stood silently protecting the entrance into the palace. Rinji dismounted from the horse and walked to the samurai’s.

Rinji: “I’m sergeant Rinji, and I wish to speak with the Prince of Naju.

Samurai 1: “He’s not here,”

Rinji: “What do you mean he is not here? This is urgent and I wish to spea. . .” He was then cut off by the Prince Hyeon-U.

Hyeon-U: “What’s the matter Rinji?” He asked.

Rinji: “Your highness, I wish that you can keep this ma’am with you in the palace.” He says looking at Amy.

Hyeon-U: “Well why do you want me to look after her?”

Rinji: “Well your highness, she is in deep waters at the moment and needs a place to stay, I figure the Palace is the safest place, let’s discuss things inside,”
Hyeon-U nodded and took Rinji and Amy into the Palace, they sat on zabutons around a small table while the maids served tea to them.

Hyeon-U: “So What exactly is she in trouble with?” The prince asked.

Rinji: “Well, She is in trouble for fleeing her tribe,” he responded.

Hyeon-U: “Tribe? What do you mean by tribe?”

Rinji: “She isn’t exactly a Kemonomimi. . .”

Hyeon-U: “You must be blind! She has Neko ears, what is she then,” he said, Rinji sighs.

Rinji: “You may take off the ears.” He said to Amy.

Ri Ha-Eun: “Well there are many shops and areas in the city, though the most lively one is the plaza, an open public space where merchants sell their things and where celebrations are held.” She responded, looking back at them as she stopped halfway.

The Gorans decide to go there and bring back things from Kemonomica hoping they Will accept Silver and Gold. They look for works of art and such.

[13:00 - SUMMER 1076]
The day of the conference comes, and the Zoberton diplomats are expected at the dome. There will be five general assemblies across the diplomatic event, and then those of their respective government departments will convene in their own issues.

[15:00 - FIRST GENERAL ZOBERTON-AEROMAR ASSEMBLY]

The first General Assembly commences, with the Vysekan delegation bringing up their propositions towards the Zoberton delegation for the goal of higher volumes of trade.

- Taxes for movement of items between the two nations should either be reduced or lifted completely, to entice greater movement of goods between the nations and in turn the tax money lost from lack of tariffs would be recuperated in greater volume by sales taxes from the items being sold in their respective nations.

- Open borders, given no major border issues between the two, border restrictions are to either become more lenient or become open, allowing for movement of peoples and goods freely.

- Mutual infrastructure projects to allow easier movement between the two.

They would also accept these terms

Aenoy is silent for a minute, in absolute shock at the actions of these barbaric vile monstrous men who tortured Wu and her mother for no other reason besides pleasure. He tries comforting Wu before suddenly his terrible memories flood back into his mind. Aenoy trembles a bit before speaking to Wu about his own past.

"When I was only 5 years old, I lost my mother to a murdering who kidnapped her while she was heading back home from a diplomatic mission. They ran unethical evil experiments on her, extracting her bodily fluids, cutting off her tail and sucking all the mana energy out of her body before they further tortured and mutilated her before throwing my mother in a nearby river and drowned her. Me and my father didn’t know she was dead at the time and after extensive search efforts, we finally found her corpse after a week. This first event severely traumatized me and I became paranoid of everything for years after the death of my mother. Then, some years later when I was 15 years old, the sick monsters choose me as the next victim for their experiments. They knocked me unconscious while I was walking the streets of the capital alone. I woke up in a strange magic-research lab, strapped to a chair, completely defenseless. They ran tests on me that hurt me both mentally and physically. The killers severely mutilated my stinger to the point where it couldn’t generate venom anymore. Then, they started extracting mana from my soul and body. The pain I experienced was unforgettable, I-I can’t even describe it. Then after they extracted 89% of my mana energy, they threw me into the river. After hopelessly being swept down the river, I used all my remaining strength to swim to the banks of the river and got out. I later would be found after an hour and brought back to the royal palace. I had to stay in the hospital for a year, recovering from my traumatic experience. Even after that I had sudden mental breakdowns almost every week and periods of severe sickness due to some strange substance they injected into me. You remember that time I got very ill, that wasn’t from leech-borne diseases, that was one of those periods of sickness, I-I lied about that so the memories wouldn’t c-come back. Despite intense efforts to find the group of killers, they never were able to find them. I hope those sick bastards burned and suffered when the volcanic fire engulfed my nation."

Aenoy trembles again for a bit before he starts sobbing. "Why DO monstrous animalistic people try to make us suffer and feel pain!?" Aenoy yells while crying.

"Not to worry, I am quite sure that even if they did not receive their just punishment during life, they will surely suffer for eternity in death. However, we here in the Dynasty do not succumb to such niceties as waiting for them to be judged at the gates of Heaven, no, my mother's rage was terrible and great indeed. The rebel soldiers who tormented us were far too engrossed in their sin that they failed to notice the reinforcements arriving from the outerwalls, after about a week she purged the Jade Court and most of her retainers, incarcerating them beneath the Catacombs. When my sister was coronated every person involved was massacred before her throne, the steps of the Jade Palace are still stained red to this day. How lucky they were that she was handed the crown instead of me, my contempt for them is fathomless and my hate without bounds, the for the punishment I would deliver would shake the earth and forsake the name of God..."

Wu said, her words dripping with malice, her eyes filled with unholy rage and the fury of a raging fire. Some part of it was due to anger at her and her husband's histories, but most of it was anger that the hearts of men were so easily corrupted that they would inflict such evils upon the innocent.
