[B][U]"Hakari Listens to Council[/U][/B] Hakari Listened to the words of Ur'Sula as she spoke of the King and his marriage plans. How he was at war with the south and sought alliance and end by marriage. How if he married that even the Invisible People need fear the end of days. Then Ur'Sula asked for advice from fools for Hakari had little respect for those males around her. They had demonstrated their lack of respect when her father had died by seeking either to encroach on her people's lands or to offer her a mate with no proof of manhood after she became Alpha. It was only because out of wisdom or distance Ur'Sula's band hadn't insulted her. For this reason an the curiosity of seeing another female Alpha that Hakari had answered the call to assemble. She didn't blame Ur'Sula for asking the fools for advice because as Alpha of this gathering she needed to tread carefully, to allow the males to believe themselves helpful. It was while in reverie that a blood drinker landed on Hakari's left forearm and when she swatted an killed the offending bug it's blood filled gut burst making the tattoo of Baku the night walker seem to have blood in her teeth. For a few moments Hakari looked at the sign and then realized that it was an omen. Baku was a spirit exclusive to the Invisible People, she was the goddess of feminine trickery or wiles; she was one of Hakari's totem spirits. [B]"His downfall shall come at the hands of a woman"[/B] says Hakari as she smears the blood across Baku's fangs [B]"Perhaps it shall be the Princess or even Ur'Sula your hands but it will be a woman that causes him to fall"[/B] says Hakari laughing softly [B]"I must seek Baku in the forest of Dreams"[/B] says Hakari as she suddenly stands and simply walks out of the gathering She walks to her pack's fire and settles among them then begins running the fingers of her left hand over her body touching her breasts, belly and head as she sways slightly. The reactions of her pack are surprise and in a few cases fearful for their Alpha has told them by her actions that she dances with the Baku Maneatter this evening. Her two best hunters leap to their feet and rush away seeking an outsider preferably male and just entering manhood to bring back alive. It will be this poor soul's duty to provide the blood required to attract Baku. The others except for her brothers head off to prepare the dancing circle as their Alpha begins chewing cercit leaves in preparation of entering the dreaming lands. Hakari looks on nervously as his sister prepares to offer her very soul as the price to gain the secrets of Baku. He knows his sister is a strong spirit and possibly Baku's equal in power but Baku is an old an crafty spirit who might trick her into surrendering her body to her. This troubles him because if the Dark spirit gains the use of Hakari's body then she gains control of Deadly Twilight Hakari's bow which is said to contain the spirits of 5,000 enemy of the People. With such power in her hands Baku could rise and challenge or anger the Gods but in either case it is a bad thing. He is tempted to ask her not to seek Baku but knows his sister is on a path which he cannot see and to disturb her would cause friction in the pack which would be bad. Has'Kos (His eyes are Bright) keeps his tongue an prays silently to Janos (Wise Monkey) his Totem to watch over an advise his sister
