Chapter 2
(----Raigi----)
He watches as they come into view of a large settlement. It's almost nightfall and people come out of their tents to stare at him. He's still riding on the shoulders of Boar Rage. The group that found them have yet to go hoarse from all the hailing, in fact it seems to have gotten louder as they approach the settlement.
As they enter the settlement, some of the others began to follow them as they head into the centre of the settlement. Everywhere he looks there were more of the humanoid beings. Then he begins to spy this one with blue eyes with some kind of white and gold bird tattooed on their foreheads. They were the ones that also began to point at him and follow them. Some of them look awed, others look sceptic, and then there were the ones that look blankly at him.
When they make it to the centre of the settlement, he spies a tall, slender member of this race. This one's hair is red with yellow tips as well as this, this one as red stripes and pale red spots. At this point, he decides that the markings are not natural.
The procession ends, as does the chanting out his new name. As he watches, those with the blue eye and bird tattoos move to speak with the figure with yellow tipped hair, one of the blue eyed ones holds a staff. He doesn't understand this, but he knows that he's not the only one getting nervous.
He also hears whispers as he sits on Boar Rage's shoulders. He doesn't focus on what those whispers were saying; he guesses that they were about him though. He could feel eyes drifting to his left arm where his purple marking is. He wasn't wearing a shirt or jeans. The leather short were all he is currently wearing and they only went backs his knees. His pack is still resting on his back though.
The conversation finishes and the leader asks, "Where did you find him?" The one that named him moves forward and answers, "He found us. He fell from the sky. He also spoke of crossing over into our world from another as well." The surrounding crowd begins to speak all at once, the one with a staff in his hand bangs the staff's butt onto the ground. The crowd silences and the leader asks, "Are you sure that he spoke the truth?" The leader of the group nods and says, "He looked embarrassed when he said it."
His tail twitches a bit as he feels everyone stare at him. He tries his hardest not to look nervous under their stares. Then the one with the staff asks, "Why then did he fall out of the sky? Surely someone as powerful enough to open portal to other worlds wouldn't fall out of the sky." Many nod in agreement with this and he says in his defence, "I thought that the gate will be closer to the ground and I didn't have time to activate my wings!"
The group in front of him blink at the fact he spoke out. "You don't have wings." The one with the staff says. He then perches on Boar Rage's shoulder and activates his wings. Cries of astonishment ring out and he launches himself off the shoulder. He circles the crowd five times before landing by the group's leader. He releases his hold on his wings and they disappear.
The first to recover is the leader of the settlement. "I believe I speak for everyone here when I say that your presence is very welcome here and I hope you'll accept our invitation to stay as long as you wish among us. In fact I believe that we'll even set you up in a tent closest to mine own." The red head says. He nods at this, kind of stunned at their generosity. He has a feeling that this was a great honour and he just hopes he's not stepping on anyone's toes.
(----Soaring Blood----)
He watches with satisfaction that the small god looks pleased at his offer and he's relieved at the appearance of the god as well. He had his doubts when the god spoke of having wings when he clearly didn't, but the demonstration helped convince the majority of the crowd. It also didn't hurt to see that the black tips on the god's own head that seem to mirror his own, only he has yellow dyed tips.
He then motions for the god and watches as Pale Deer and the one that carried the god move into position as the god's bodyguards. Both were members of the Ragea clan and he also remembers Pale Deer from hunting giant boar. It was Pale Deer that made the first kill as well.
He feels the eyes of the Soaring Wings on his backside, but that doesn't stop him. He needs to have his three sons begin work on erecting the god's tent. He'll appoint Green Buck leader of the tent rising, he hopes that Forest Blade will begin to rethink his place in the house hold. He was getting tired of his eldest son's view of being too good to do anything other then hunt.
They make it towards the sector where most of the clan heads have erected their tents. They also have a good thirty feet between them and their neighbours. He pause and looks towards Pale Deer. "Has he given his name?" He asks. "He mentioned looking for a new name, so I named him Raigi." Pale Deer answers. He nods as he thinks this over as they continue.
'Raigi, huh? Good choice it would seem. Hopefully he'll be as lucky as his name suggests. Raigivice'Dea, the god of luck and of fire.' He thinks as he finds himself opening the tent's door. He then motions for Raigi to go first. Raigi moves past him and into his home. He nods for Pale Deer and the other to enter before him too. For it seems that Pale Deer is favoured for finding Raigi and the other for carrying him to the gathering grounds.
He finds his youngest son, Sharp Hawk staring at Raigi. He moves towards his son and says, "Find your brothers and tell them to start preparing the winter tent. Also inform them that Green Buck is in charge of setting it up." Sharp Hawk nods and heads for a different room. Unlike the other tents, the leaders of the clans have smaller tents connected to the main one and act like rooms for them. This was also much harder to set up, but worth it as well.
He then sits down by the fire and watches as Raigi stares at his most prized procession, his huge sword that's four and half feet tall with an image of a jungle cat etched on the right side of the blade. He even named the weapon based on the cat as well; he called the blade Tiger Seeker.
Soon his eldest son then storms into the main room and yells, "Why is Green Buck in charge of constructing the winter tent?" He glances quickly at Raigi and finds that Raigi has also turned to look at his eldest son. He says, "Because I wish for Green Buck to supervise the construction of Raigi's tent."
He watches as his eldest finally notices that they have company and then glares at Raigi. "What's that thing?" Forest Blade asks as he points at Raigi. He quickly stands and slaps his son in the face. "That is Raigi and he's an honoured guest here. Show your manners and attend to the job of raising the winter tent." He says in a sharp tone. His son stares dumbfound at him and then at the small god. Green Buck moves and drags Forest Blade out of the tent, with Sharp Hawk following with the folded tent.
He then turns and says, "Forgive my eldest son, he didn't know." The god nods and says, "He's the one that need to apologize is all, not you." He nods and feels relieved that Raigi isn't offended. He promises to inform Forest Blade personally about whom he offended and have his son apologize to the small god. He also might as well inform his other sons as well.
Soon they begin to speak about which tribes have yet to arrive. Raigi doesn't speak much, mostly to ask about where they might be located and such. He then speaks about the hunt that he remembers Pale Deer from. He could tell that Pale Deer was surprise that he remembers him from that hunt.
Soon his sons finish setting up the tent and Pale Deer and Boar Rage offer to escort Raigi to the tent. He says his farewells to Pale Deer and Boar Rage. He waits for a few minutes then turns to Forest Blade and his sons.
"Why did we have to erect the winter tent for that being?" The fourteen year old asks. "That being is a god, Forest Blade. He arrived this very day and you're to apologize to him about insulting him as well." He informs his son. Sharp Hawk asks, "Is he really?" He nods and says, "By his own words, he crossed into our world and he also can summon wings that will allow him to fly as well. It's an answer to our prays that he came and you'll all treat him with the respect that he deserves." Only Green Buck and Sharp Hawk looked impressed, Forest Blade only frowns and says, "He might be lying." He snorts and says, "That's up to the Soaring Wings to decide tomorrow, though I'm incline to believe him. With him here, my position is much more stable and we'll convince the other clans to go to war with the invaders from the north. Pray to Lagis'Kea for victory and to Tamurlo'Kea for protection during battle. It might not hurt to pray thanks to Raigivice'Dea." He then heads to his rooms to have supper. He'll need time to think about everything and to pray to the gods for this godsend as well.
(----Itachi----)
He looks over the corpses of three Oni. This large reptile creature killed them and already his captures are feasting on the corpse of the beast. He doesn't know which is worst, they way the hit each other to get the best parts or the way they're eating.
He can't decide and looks at the surrounding area. It's nightfall and they were maybe a few days away from leaving this accused mountain range. Also he has been trying to keep the Oni from killing him the last few days by reminding them that he's the only one who can guide them towards the human villages. This has been working so far, he just prays that he can keep convincing them of his usefulness, for it seems that they might forget and kill him for food.
They finish soon and they continue on their way. 'That's about the only good thing about them'. He decides. 'It's the ability to not get tired easily.' He thinks as they continue on their way north. He keeps one eye on the Oni and the other to their surroundings, he also doesn't have to worry about the corpses being found, for the Oni have already eaten the three Oni bodies too.
