And as Tsukiko pointed out, they only lacked experience. Maybe Hikaru was being overly cocky, something she usually was not, but she didn't think for a moment the snake lord, as he called himself, posed a threat. It wasn't even that she thought themselves more powerful then he. In fact, he was quite close in matching them once he revealed his true power.<br/>
<br/>
But she sensed that he wanted something from them, maybe he didn't even know what that something was yet himself. And if she was quite honest, she wanted something from him. He could be a teacher to her, he could help her to learn the language more quickly. And she in turn could teach it to Tsukiko. Maybe he could even teach them something of the land, help them find what it was they were sent here to set right. <br/>

I would feel much more comfortable at present though if I could communicate with the beings of this realm in their own tongue. And perhaps he could help us find what we are meant to balance here. </i><br/>
