What did Si'Ni think about what had just happened? Firstly she had been sleeping soundly in the Dragon Cave (Not only did it provide a roof over her head so she didn't have to see the stars, but the warmth of the hot springs inside made it a much cozier place to sleep) When the great rumbling roar of Apollo awakened everyone, when Si'Ni opened her eyes and looked outside the cave at first she thought the monotonously blue sky of Earth had transformed into the more colorful sky Dardunah, sure the base color is amber, but the clouds of multicolored dust in the air render Dardunah's sky a complex ever shifting mass of colors! But when Si'Ni realized that it was actually a 'someone' not a 'something' the one the Natives referred to as their 'Great Father' she heard the Earthlings call him a Dragon...(And she knew what Komodo Dragons were she saw them in Hanalu where there are many Sarpah) but this was was something unlike any creature in Dardunah! His features seemed to indicate Sarpah but he was unlike any Sarpah in Dardunah...He had his wings sprouting from his back instead of his arms! And while she couldn't comprehend anything he and Eartha said to each other, she got the feeling something very important was happening between the two of them.

After Eartha, Ringo and a few other got tossed by the Flowers into a massive pile of soft pink blossoms, Si'Ni rushed over along with several others.

The sky was once again a monotonous blue with white clouds...Si'Ni thought about what had just happened...And while it was terrifying...It was also thrilling! She felt an excitement she had never felt before...That limitless potential lay before her….All she had to do was grasp it!

After breakfast Si'Ni said to her Companions "You all have been so kind to me...I can't thank you enough..."

"It all right." Raph said

"But really!" Si'Ni said "I should be doing more!"

Everyone stood silently for a while, then the Hyena Cub, Julia came forward

"Could you tell us a story?" Julia asked "You said you wished you could be a storyteller...How about you tell us a story!"

Si'Ni felt her eyes get a bit misty...This Cub asking her to tell a story, she quickly wiped her eyes "What kind of story do you want me to tell?"

"We want to hear a story from where you're from!" The Chimpanzee Cub Caesar said jumping up onto a rock to seat himself "Your world must have it's own fairy tales! Tell us your favorite story from when you were a Piglet!"

Si'Ni blinked a few times "I could tell you a few of my favorite stories yes, but what is a 'Fair-Ree' Tale?"

That was something no one was expecting

"Have you never heard of a Fairy?" Marzipan asked

Si'Ni shook her head

Julia quickly said "They're pretty humans with butterfly wings!"

"Julia!" Ichabod said "They look like Humans but Fairies are something different entirely..."

Ichabod turned to Si'Ni "Fairies are a kind of creature that interacted with Humanity many years ago and has only recently rekindled interactions with us...The best way to describe fairy tales is they are a kind of folk tale that often revolves around fairies and their interactions with humans."

"Ah." Si'Ni said "Folk tales I know plenty of...But...Simply talking about my favorite stories from when I was a child...I do have two that stand out in particular...Both are tales from Tishnia which is separate from my home country of Nilam this first one is the story of Tiari the City of Blue Roofs."

Everyone sat themselves down...They had no idea what this story would be like, but they were eager to here a tale from this 'Dardunah' and hoped to find similarities between this tale and other tales they knew.

The story was that many lifetimes ago in the city of Tiari, there lived the beautiful Zesri, daughter of the magistrate who lived in that city. She was a slender and elegant vixen and well-known to the people, she often went among them, some whispered she was a reincarnation of Krilarah herself, returned from the edge of Heaven to dry her children's tears.

At that time Tiari suffered greatly from the depredations of the Corsairs who raided the city almost daily in their airships killing many in their lust for riches. Their leader was an ugly brute the Rhinoceros Harisalábik (At this point Si'Ni looked at the Rhinoceros Hank, and saw his smile immediately dropped, Si'Ni immediately stopped the story to say "Of course we know both good and fell deeds can exist in the hearts of any Janah...We know not all Rhinos are evil, or ugly for that matter...One Rhino approached me in the market one time asking for me to show him around town...Then I turned around he saw I wore a trade caste braid, and immediately apologized for the trouble as he was a Sunborn." Hank didn't smile again, but he seemed to relax knowing that Si'Ni didn't think him ugly or evil for being a Rhinoceros)

Continuing her story Si'Ni said the Leader was known by many as the dreaded Bloodhorn as he dyed his horn an evil red

One day Bloodhorn spied Zesri in the streets and his icy heart took flame and gave chase but the Devah guided her steps and she escaped his grasp. He took several prisoners that day and he asked them all the same question 'Who is the lovely fox maiden with the emerald eyes?' they all answered the same 'She is Zesri, daughter of the magistrate.' For the first time in his bloodthirsty career Bloodhorn set his prisoners free…

Si'Ni looked around and saw everyone was utterly enraptured by her story!

I think I'm gonna divide this into at least two parts
