Of Snakes and Rabbits

Chapter 1.
All of Kamigawa was under the constant assault of the kami, yet there seemed to be one place above all others that seemed distant to the onslaught of Kamigawa. The Floating city of the Soratami was far away from the turbulence of the rest of the world and in this place dreams of conquest began to unfold. Mochi, the kami of the crescent called forth upon one of his shinobi, a young Moonfolk girl to instruct her on her mission. "Ukumi, it's time" said the tiny blue man with a smile. "You must infiltrate the Jukai forest and find as much information on its residents as possible. I don't want any surprises when our…plans are about to be executed." "Yes my lord" said Ukumi as she bowed before Mochi and turned to leave the room. Ukumi was as arrogant as all Moonfolk about their superiority over the rest of Kamigawa's inhabitants, but she had doubts about Mochi's plans. However, as a shinobi, it wasn't her job to question. As she left, Mochi knew of her doubt, "either way, the outcome will be beneficial" he thought with a smile.
Even though Ukumi was young, she was of great merit. She wasn't new to the role of espionage as she had gone more than once to seek information or other goals her masters wanted. However, she had never gone to the Jukai forest before. The combination of thick brush and hostile inhabitants made it a difficult place for Soratami to infiltrate. But she wasn't fully reliant on magic as most Moonfolk were; she was after all a highly trained fighter. "I won't fail" Ukumi said to herself as she was ready to depart. She tied her hair up with her long ears donned her shinobi attire. Ukumi then used her levitation spell scroll to fly off the city of the clouds and down to the surface. A cloud materialized itself below her feet and lifted her up. She then began to descend and as she did, she could see far into Kamigawa. "Hhmm, I wonder what the forest is like, I only know few things that I've read in the scrolls of the Minamo library." She thought to herself, "Better be on my guard at all times." Soon she reached the edge of the forest at night. It was unlike anything she had seen before; the forest was thick and it nearly blocked out the moon entirely. As she stepped down off the cloud she felt an eerie sensation from the forest, it was something very strange to her. "A bit intimidating, but I have a task to accomplish" She thought to herself as she began to swoop from tree to tree. Before she knew it, she was deep inside the forest that the Soratami called "the unruly garden."
