 “Papa?” The little girl’s father looked down at his daughter, who was leaning over the bridge’s wooden rail and staring at the cascades of spring water a few feet away. A landmark of the city of Zento, the springs flowed from an outcropping of worn granite into a small pond under the bridge. A park had been built around it, between the inner and outer city walls, and it was alive with blossoming trees and flowers. Townspeople were passing by the girl and her father on the bridge as they headed towards different parts of the city.

 All over the park heads turned towards the source of the unexpected outburst. In the stunned silence, he could hear roofing tiles crunch as a figure walked forward atop the tall inner city wall, only a stones throw from the bridge. Outlined by the bright sun, it took a second for a few to register that the voice belonged to a bony, middle-aged woman. Now she had stopped, and was looking down at them all with her finger pointing.

 Maya’s father pulled his daughter in towards him by her shoulders, ready to steer her away. A sharply dressed young man, whom he recognized as Yatsue the architect’s son, had already opened his mouth and was calling back up to the woman on the wall.

 The figure whirled to her right upon the ceramic tiles, sending a few stone chips sliding down the side, eliciting a few gasps from the crowd.

 Nanako laughed and started walking away, “That’s what Ken’s for!”
 The West Britain Bank was an old building on the edge of town, just across the moat from Castle British. It was a purely functional building, lacking much of the adornment and elegance found throughout the rest of the city. Its walls were made of grey bricks and the roof with stone pavers. This short, squat structure belied the fact that it was easily one of the most defensible buildings in the city, save the castle itself.

 On top of the bank, sure enough, there was an old woman standing on the edge looking down at the crowd below. Someone in the crowd had just noticed her and people began to mill around below trying to see if something interesting was happening.
-All of a sudden Inu yelled down, “Quiet! I can’t hear! It’s not clear!” A stunned few came to a halt and looked up, listening to her. Maya was overwhelmed by a great sense of deja vu.

 The crowd was murmuring agreement, yet a few people were still paying close attention to Inu. Maya got up and Ken quickly followed suit, as did Harmony. They could see better into the crowd, which was still getting larger as more merchants drifted away from their business to watch the commotion.

 A moment of disorientation enveloped Maya and suddenly they were on the roof looking down at the chanting crowd, whom Inu had engaged in a nasty sort of way. Insults were flying back and forth, even as a few people here and there tried to rationalize with the members of what was rapidly becoming a mob.

 “Come with us,” said the one on the left, and suddenly they were in a stark room made of hewn stone, standing in front of a very official looking man sitting behind his desk. He looked less than pleased.

 Trammel slowly climbed higher into the night sky, a bright Felucca in tow. Inu rose quietly from her place and began folding the bedroll up. She tied it onto her bundle and walked outside the dying fire’s flickering halo. She considered the three forms sleeping on the ground for a moment, and then disappeared into the forest.
