The Spirits Are On Our Side

[10:03] Nocra Neuman Once the battle had ended she returned to the caves, drenched in a fresh coating of blood from her fallen foes. Her weapons were dripping with gore and left splatters of blood and flesh upon the floor when s he threw them to the ground. Stretching her weary muscles she smiled broadly sighting Rahl awake and returned from his hunts. "Sawubona Umthakathi.", she murmured in a respectful tone. "I have great news."

[10:09] Rahl Bellic would eye the blood splattered weapons and could scent the unmistakable tang of battle upon her, he stepped forwards watching her with the dark hollowed eye sockets of his mask, he tipped his hat to her,"Sawubona Alfa" *craning his head,"You have bees in battle and return whole.. such is great news enough ta bees sure but I be thinkin you have odder news, tell mees of it" *nodding slowly, as he absently began to look upon his belt for something

[10:13] Nocra Neuman A wild grin formed upon her lips and she gazed up to him with an excited expression, all of her malicious planning was finally coming together. "I returned last night from travels and finds a small band of Mamba sharing land with a panfer tribe. Dey havs acknowledged Nocra be Queen of the mamba people and I haves summoned them to come here for a Blood Moon Ceremony in one hands time. Also we havs two new mamba who havs pledged to me and joined the Blood Moon tribe. Tems bees called Kadija and Canka."

[10:20] Rahl Bellic listened to her and nodded,"All dis bees great news ta be sure, and new blood within dey Blood Moon be sorely needed and greatly welcomed" *nodding,"How many ous dey tribes you speak will come? We be needin a strong tribe, a strong family ta be pushin back dis darkness... such pain dey spirits feel at all dem dat have gone ta dey shadows... weighs heavy on mah heart.. make ma arms, legs an back burn wit dey burden of its... dey Dante... he be needin ta pay... an not jus his life... his mana need be taken... to strengthen dey tribe"

[10:25] Nocra Neuman She nodded while listening to his mouth words, he who had the whispers of the spirits was surely one to take advisement from. Rahl alone was her sole council, she did not heed any others opinions or judgments. But he was the Umthakathi of the Blood Moon, a position that garnered her respect. Drumming her fingers upon her thigh she dug her nails into her flesh at the mere mention of Dante's name and a fury washed over her, "Not just hims will pay. But hims people wills pay as well. He commanded the Alar, but they were the ones who spilled the blood of our people. They too musts suffer as we have."

[10:39] Rahl Bellic nodded slowly, he had traveled many lands since the Bloodmoon had been scattered to the winds, sat at many tribes fires and spoken to them of the spirits. He had found lone kin that had lost their ways and shown them the true path and traditions of their people... all this was his purpose, a burden and a joy, he smiled a small smile behind his tangle of a beard,"Dis bees true... him and his people need pay... but I be thinkin dat payment should be harsh, as yous no doubt agree... yet dey spirits bees tricky... dey think iffen dis tuusie rage against dey mamba blood... we should not jus take life... but seed life within his bloodline... so much so... dat he would kill him whole family ta make it clean" *he chuckled,"Can yas see it? Dey horror in him iffen he knew his line would forevers bees a line ous our people... and him would never be able ta roots it out"

[10:44] Nocra Neuman Her eyes widened with a dark hint of glee. "I havs a plan! We will sends our men to seed his women... as many as we can finds and they will kill each odder fores us.", she said with a clap of her hands, speaking as if it was her idea all along. Already she could see it in her mind of how it might actually work and how Dante would be so livid if it were to happen. A wicked cackle of laughter emanated from her lips and she smirked up to the Spirit Speaker, "Dis bees a good plan, yes?"

[10:50] Rahl Bellic chuckled and nodded,"Iffen his madness and soul rot hold true, he will kill each and every soul dat ous blood creates, it is a grand plan, dey spirits approve.. to answer him death wit ous life... yet not jus dey females, dey males as well, him son... will sire a mamba child... and as will dey sons ous his alars, der strength will bring life to ous people... and iffen him kill each and all dey will grow to hate em... and in time he will bees wit nothin"

[10:55] Nocra Neuman She loved to play dirty and mambas were notorious for being tricksies. Rather than immediately rushing upon their enemies in a war, they would begin with making the Alars turn upon one another. And then when it was time and the mambas had gathered in force, they would be ready to exterminate the rest of the Alars that remained. This plan gave Nocra both things that she wanted, more fresh blood to repopulate the mamba people and to make the Alars pay for what Dante had done. She flashed Rahl a sinful smile, her coal black eyes gleaming with impish plots; "I will announce dis plan to our people during the Blood Moon ceremony."

[11:03] Rahl Bellic nodded with a smile, "Dey spirits will bees joyed wit dis plan Nocra... you will see ous people restored and ous enemies shamed.. as dey will be used ta bring forth dey next generation ous our people" *sliding his hand into his beared he began to slowly scratch as he was thinking or listening to something before speaking again,"Dey potion i will be needing ta cure yas grand daughter ous her evil spirits bees prepared.. I find dey last shrooms needed to finish dis morn.... now all needed is her willingness ta bees cured... she mus make her courage strong an come ta me when she bees ready" *glancing to Nocra as to say not to force her to much

[11:08] Nocra Neuman Resting the crude looking club on her shoulder she nodded several times and slid her free hand down to rest upon her belly. "They wills bees shamed, yes. And they will blame only Dante fores this. And we will tell his people whens they asks why we bees doing this to them, that it is Dante to blame. His own peoples will turn upon him and we will laughs." She was confident in their plan now and even more so now that she knew she had the blessings of the spirits and their ancestors on their side. "It will begin affers the Blood Moon Ceremony is completed. Do you needs any ting to prepare for it?", she asked making certain their Umthakathi would be well supplied for anything he may need to complete the upcoming rituals during the gathering. When he spoke of her grandchild she nodded and added simply, "I will lets her know you bees ready when she is."

[11:15] Rahl Bellic smiled as she agreed with him and the spirits, "I will not need much, fiery drink to wash dey potion down, an I be askin yas to inform any odder shamans ta bees meetin wit mees, as you speak wit dey alfa's i will bees speakin wit dem dat have ear fer dey spirits... wees will bless dey union ous our peoples once more"
