"BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!", Rekka heard from above her as she continued staring

at the sky.

"What the bloody hell was that?!", she muttered to herself as she looked in the

direction of the sound. Her eyes widened slightly, mostly in wonder as she watched

a sheep go sailing on by, heading out to sea.

"SENKA!!", she shouted, knowing who the culprit behind the flying sheep was.

She ducked as another sheep flew by, narrowly missing the goddess.

Growling slightly, she crawled up the hill to see the huge Tiger by the shepherd's

house, merrily throwing sheep around the village. She got to her feet and watched

as villagers scattered, running from the sheep as they landed. The villagers

screamed in fear as Senka, seemingly bored with hurling sheep, reached over and

picked up a cow. The Tiger looked at the cow curiously for a few seconds before

deciding that it would serve a better purpose as lunch instead of as a projectile

weapon.

"Okay, that's it.", Rekka said under her breath as she ran toward the Temple to

get one of the leashes.

"Blast...which one did Sable say was the Leash of Compassion?! The rope one?

No...not the spiky one, so it's got to be the rainbow colored one."

Rekka picked up the Leash of Compassion and returned to her true form(the

glowing ball thingies). She flew to where Senka was wreaking havoc with the

village's livestock, and threw the end of the leash at him. The leash attached itself

and the Tiger stopped, looking at her for her next command.

"Senka! Don't throw the livestock!", Rekka sharply reprimanded the Tiger,

smacking him on the head once. Senka sniffled and started crying.

"Senka...", Rekka started, gently scratching the big feline behind one ear.

"Senka, you can't go around throwing around the villagers' livestock. That's

one of their sources of food."

~What about the farms?~, she heard the Tiger's deep voice rumble through her

head.

"That's just one of their food sources. The sea is another. You need to watch

the villagers as they go about their daily chores so you can learn to help them out

from time to time."

~How will I know what to learn?~

Rekka smiled inwardly, as she was still in her true form.

"Simple. Watch them as they deliver food and wood to the Village Store, and, also

as they take food and wood out of the Village Store so that you can learn how to

use it. Learn to fish by watching the village fishermen fish, so you can feed yourself.

Learn how to take food from the fields as a second type of food for you. I have a

feeling that I won't always be around to help you care for the villagers. That's why

you must learn how to do it all yourself.", Rekka replied.

~Why won't you be around all the time? I don't understand.~

Rekka chuckled softly.

"Senka, I may have just arrived on this planet, but, I'm not naive enough to believe

that I'm the only deity that exists here. I may be needed elsewhere to defend our

people. That is our sole purpose here, Senka...to care for and protect our villagers

from harm. However, don't worry. If I leave the village, I will never be gone for long.

That, I can, and will promise."

"Holy One! There's a huge creature on the other side of this mountain!", came a

frightened cry from the path that led through the mountains to a valley, where an

Aztec village was nestled in the foothills.

Rekka changed to her human form, standing in the palm of Senka's hand. Tiger

and goddess looked at each other in surprise.

"Okay, let's go check it out, Senka!", Rekka shouted as Senka took off running, with

a low growl, heading for the pass.

A/N: Man, it's been awhile since I played this part of the game, but I'll do the best

I can writing it. There are the flying sheep I promised in the summary for this fic, and

I even threw in a flying cow, as well. ^_^;;

To the animal rights activists out there, no sheep or cows were harmed in the writing

of this fic.

Next Chapter: Exactly what is the huge Creature the man was screaming about?

Well, if you've played the game, then there's no surprise there. ^_^;;

Comments welcome, flames will be used to cook my burgers with.

Until next chapter...ja ne!
