The Ohmu---The Valley of the Wind---The Toxic Jungle----Torumekians---Pejites---A struggle for power------Asbel…….
Nausicaa jumped out of her sleep in another cold sweat. She managed to calm her breathing from barely audible breaths.
"This dream…..what is its purpose. Everything that was once then is over now. I have no reason for this nightmare."
It's been 5 months since the incident with the Torumekians and the Pejites, and the almost certain destruction of The Valley of the Wind. Since then the people of The Valley have begun rebuilding. Containing the Toxic Jungle, replanting the Forest, and clearing away the destruction made by the Torumekians running their ships into their buildings, and the ship that crashed into the mountains.
The Princess along with Lord Yupa has managed to establish an alliance with The Torumekians, but has yet to forge one with the Pejites. They feel that the Torumekians are dishonorable barbarians for what they put The Valley through. The Torumekians feel that the Pejites are ruthless beasts for nearly destroying the whole Valley with the rage filled Ohmu. The Pejites have been stubborn, but with reason.
Asbel: "I'm sorry Princess that my people have been reluctant to resolve their problems with the Torumekians."
Nausicaa: "It certainly isn't your fault. Though I could understand that you might also be upset with them for holding your sister captive."
Asbel: "I have learned to forgive them….yet there is something inside of me that is confusing….I simply can't explain it. I've been having strange dreams lately."
Nausicaa: "Strange dreams?" she said curiously
Asbel: "yes….I can see the past so clearly…everything that has happened, so clearly I see it, as if it were happening right in front of me.
Nausicaa was shocked, and Asbel noticed her confused look.
Asbel: Princess is there something wrong?
Nausicaa: "Asbel…..I don't understand….I'm having the same dreams, every night, I wake up terrified yet relieved. I mean it's all over. Everything is fine there should be no need to worry….right?"
Asbel: "I'm not so sure now…..I have a theory."
Nausicaa: "Lets hear it"
Asbel: "Well it is only a theory, but, what if the unrest between the Tomekians and the Pegites have something to do with it."
Asbel starts pacing across the room
Asbel: "I mean think about it, you can practically feel the tension in the air. I have a feeling that a plot might be brewing on both sides. Obviously this verbal fued will not be resolved with words or pacts…but perhaps war.
Nausicaa nodded in a grave agreement
Nausicaa: "Yes, and I doubt that Kushana would resist to such warfare.
Asbel: "Nor my Kingdom"
Nausicaa: "Well then I can say with the utmost conviction….. that they are going to war."
