Pocahontis led the three into her village. The bronze skinned natives
glanced curiously to the newcomers. Although it made Sora uncomfrtable, he
trudged on with the others. Those big blues travelled over the people.
At first it seemed to strike him how.. Primitive they lived. Many were clothed in deer-skin, and few wore shoes of the same material- Could that be leather? Well, it certainly wan't healthy. Many of the men bore paint on their faces, he'd have to ask Cloud about that later. Nearly all the women had long hair, and men too! That was most definately strange.
As the crew made their way behind Pocahontis, the little (Okay medium) sized Tipis steadily grew larger. Also, the families were larger as were the amount of possessions and livestock surrounding the shelter. Generally, these people were better clothed that those he'd seen earlier.
Then, he noticed some people making weapons. One was carving bone, and another pounding something with a rock. It seemd he was making arrows. Of what use were they!?
His eyes scanned more and more. Something else he picked up on was the people's love for art. Everyewhere he looked, there were at least a few sketches of deer and bears. Sometimes, here and there, there were pictures of horse and rabbits. The one that caught his eye the most was on the 'shaman's' home. There was a painting of a fire, and little swirling lines emitting from it. From those lines were animals and other pictographic tales. Surroudding that were the simple skethces of people watching.
However he was soon interrupted by a tall bronze man with many scars and paint come from something that looked like a house. Later he would learn it was called a long house. The man had a bear-skin cape, and a deer- skin tunic. He also wore an eagle feathered headress. The dark brown eyes swept over his visitors. He gave a short nod to Pocahontis and John, then led the others into his longhouse.
Inside Sora and the others sat around fire. Joining them was the old shaman, Pocahontis, John Smith, the Chief, and several other indians. Sora was quite timid at first, since they were hardly incognito at all!!
At length, after a long staring session the chief spoke, "What brings you to my village?"
Cloud swallowed and pulled the piece of cloth from his mouth, "Chief Powatan, isn't it?" The chief gave a nod, and Cloud continued, "You are familiar with something called 'A Keyhole' are you not?"
The bronze man frowned, "That does not conecern you. Is there anything else?"
Sora blurted out, "-But I'm the Key-" Cloud put a hand over his mouth scowling, "Yes, have you seen any strange creatures as of late?"
The man looked confused and dismissed the personage before continuing. He nodded at Cloud's question, "Yes. There have been many. They do not look like any we have seen before."
"Could you possibly describe them to me?" asked Sora forcing Cloud's hand from his mouth.
Again the Chief nodded, "-Yes. They are very fl-ex-i-ble," He sounded it out, "And it seems as though these things- creatures- are twisting into something from shadows." His head hung in sorrow, "They have been luring my people from the village, never to return."
Cloud, Sora, and Goofy exchanged glances.
Then the man looked up, "..You, you wouldn't be able to help me would you?" His eyes were pleading.
Sora sighed, "Sure, what the hay.."
Soon they were touring the village and stocking up on some vital items. New potions were in stock, and hardly in demand! Sora got some stuff from the locals and made friends fast, as always.
However, things were so lucky where Kyi was. Her master was scowling his pale lips, "My pet.. They are more clever than we've anticipated.. You will be punished."
