Preston marches across the wall of the town looking down at the environment as giant cats walk the perimeter eyeing the Kobolts hungrily. Preston leans on the fort wall calling down “who’s in charge down there?! This is in clear violation of the non-aggression pact between our clans.”
A cat with white hair tan paws with sleek features and a black patch on her tail movie to the front “I am Shadi, daughter of Shi-ra, this is my pride.”
“Shadi, I am Preston, I am charged with protecting this wall and upholding Graywall’s affairs.”
“Then you know about the tax paid to my people that was not received.” Shadi demands.
“Your butter was sent at the dawn of the day was always.”
“You sent a box of clay!” a roar comes from below as the cat move closer to the wall.
“its been five winters since the last time our clans traded blows, do you real want to do this!” Preston yells
Shadi howls “this is your doing kobolt” the crowed moves forward.

As the cat movie closer to the walls and the archers ready for combat Jessica movie onto the wall being nearly dragged by Baba-Yung. Cats Jump at the walls and claw their way up them with frightful speed and strength, Graywall’s warriors lunch there counteroffensive first with bows but within moment the bows are discarded and the blades of Graywall meet the spears of Raksha.
“The people of Graywall are fine and brave, but they are a culture of artist farmers and healers, fighting is not amongst the finest of their skills. Raksha is ages behind Graywall in the way of agriculture and architecture but theirs is a vary different breed of people, in Raksha War is their culture.” Baba-Yung explains “Graywall will fight courageously, but they will not win.”
Preston charges to the head of the skirmish, he is well trained and easily pushes the first of the cats off the wall but the first up the wall are old, and are sent to weaken and confuse, it is the second wave, the huntresses that are there to do the real fighting, and killing. It is with them that Shadi joins the fight.
A dozen Koblods run in to fight the pride leader “an endless supply of the butter we so crave, that is what you promised us. If you will not give it to us we will suckle it from the breast of your farmers ourselves” Shadi commands throwing her attackers over the wall with a swipe of her spear. Preston runs in to stop Shadi but gets stabbed in the rids on his approaches, Shadi sneers “or maybe we will eat all of you and keep your castle for myself.”
Jessica throw her arms in the air calling out in rage “that is enough.” A blinding holy light spills from Jessica like a river of molten steel that turns night into day. The light paralyzes all the warriors that see it. Jessica’s noise twitch as she can feel Pepper has snuck onto the battlefield. The magic that has frozen the battle below has left Pepper untouched.
Pepper looks about at the frozen field , he approaches Jessica aw-striking. He points out the frozen warriors as he looks to the weaver asking, “what is this?”
“Thank you Pepper for being here, I cannot hold this magic in place forever, I need you.” Jessica explains. “bring your siblings, and find Theea the messenger, track down the medican mouse and anyone else you can find bring them here. No one needs to die today, so we heal everyone, but we must do so before I grow too weary to hold up my arms or my spell will break and we will have failed.” Jessica looks to Baba-Yung who is sitting by her side “Baba, please help him.”
“how are you doing this” Pepper walks around Jessica examining her as the magic is creating a contend tornado around her blowing her robe around. “that is amazing.”
“another time Pepper!” Jessica barks “Now Please Run!”
Baba-Yung squawks and jumps into the air, flying back into town. Baba calls back “this has never been done. Kari has taken many live, never has she given one back.”

In truth it only takes a few moments for the people of Graywall to respond to the Weavers call but to her it feels far too long. Garlic and Cream are the next on seen. Garlic runs up. “we can help you.”
The staff in Jessica’s hand whispers to the children (who understandable jump back startled) ‘Hold up the Weaver’s arms, so long as she stands in the posture of Kari no one will die. That is the will of the Avatar. So it will be done.’
“Cream! Help me hold Jessica.” The two girls hold Jessica’s arms letting her rest on them. Swiftly more and more youths and women find their way outside and start to bandage the wounded. The battle lasted only moment but it takes till midday for all the injures to be bound. But of all those that come to the Weavers aid there is one face missing from the crowed. Odidimuse remains ignorant of what has passed.
Jessica faint after half a day of holding her spell in place. Understanding the revelation that has befallen them Shadi and her pride retreat with the best wishes of the community. Just as Jessica wished many were harmed in the fight but do to her magic and the aid of Graywall at large no one died this night.
Jessica and Preston I carried by Corn’s young to the healer’s house. The healer Willy stands between the hero’s as the two of them awaken. Preston is the first to speak “Report.” He mumbles draggy
Willy has pollen broken bit of bone form the captain’s chest. “you have two broken ribs, one crushed lung, I’m going to pack you full of herb and clay and hope for the best, your friend over there is covered form head to toe in surface burns, I’ve dipped her in toad oil already and that is the only thing I can do for her. It isn’t fatal but she will be fairly upset when she wakes up to say the least.”
Baba-Yung squawks “it is time for the sermon.”
“give her time for goodness sake.” Willy rants.
Jessica falls out of bed. Trying to stand “yes, I think it is time. Preston, do you believe in me? Can I count on you to support me when the time comes?”
“you single handedly turned away are most feared enemy… I will fallow the Weaver.”
“thank you Preston.”
