*Yukiokai's height and warrior esq frame made her a daunting host, but she watched with a gleeful look in her eyes, as Takari pounded out the Rice for the mochi in an enormous pestle, using a smaller version of the hammer with her mighty whale tail coiled around the haft. With her flippers (which posessed webbed claws at the end), she rappidly turned the rice-dough over and over and over, using the pure water from the lake to keep the hammers tip from sticking to the dough, Then lastly, she worked extremely swiftly, wrapping pieces of dough around balls of red bean paste. The work was lightning fast, apparently Yukiokai made her do this a lot because watching the Sage work the dough was mesmirizing. Each mochi cake was tossed into a wooden box filled with dried sunflower seeds and the goddes swiftly snatched up the first one and popped the little treat through her fangs with a wide smile. "Ah, well done little Takari, keep up that pace...", *without warning she turned straight into Mavolus's face litterally touching foreheads with him with her eyes in a fierce death stare, like a warrior going in for the death blow on some duchebag that killed his wife. But she just opened his mouth and forced him to eat a mochi before turning back around for no apparent reason not even laughing about it. It was downright scary.*<br/><br/>"Your all gonna die...but you knew that already, everyone dies, even gods die eventually...but most people want to know when they will die...", *she imediatly slammed her foot on the ground*, "YOU DONT WANNA KNOW WHEN YOU'LL DIE", *she thumped her right foot over the ground even though she was sitting down*, "HAH!".<br/><br/>*Yukiokai seemed fond of not finishing her thoughts, everything just seemed half done. Then again, suddenly as if possessed she shot up as straight as a pole even her ears stood up like shed been hit by lightning. The freaky part being that the movement seemed to defy the laws of physics, then people started to remember how gravity was distorted around the lake but what she said was just as creepy*, "The lost one crosses paths to you on the morrow, a red hawk heralds their coming, rain falls on the ancient city, unable to cool its rage...Death comes to the king, the old sky falls at last, bewildered by the rainbow, life slays its own child." *then she fell over straight, like an unbalanced stick, bounced back up and grabbed another Mochi*.<br/><br/>"Its part of being around the gods, just get used to it", Takari would almost sing out before Yukiokai continued, "Takari...you are to follow these travelers...fate is going to be very cruel to them, you will ease their suffering and save their lives three times before you meet me again", *she spoke bluntly and fiercely, like her hammer, then turned her head towards pepper*, "When you loose a limb, go to the island of the fox and take the form of the warrior for yourself", *next she turned to Mavolus*, "in four days your rage will spike harder than it ever has before, and you will kill anyone touching you, when you feel your blood catch fire, bury yourself in the ground and roar as loud as you can for one full day, that's how long it will take before you can slumber, but whatever you do, don't flee into the water or many others shall perish", *Next she turned to Springlatch*, "Death will devour you in one week from today, I cannot see past her jaws, theres a chance she will claim you, if she does, follow your fiery friends embers back out of her belly, flame is life and there is none in the realm of death but the blue lanterns of the reapers", *then she looked up*, "A strange ally will soon join you, she is barbaric and vicious, but young and as dumb as a rock, your friendship will help her grow into a champion...or a demon, I pray it is the former...now I must rest, eat all the mochi you can, it is the food of the heavens, you will need the nutrition for this journey...I send you to the capitol...you must anger the maker of this world and flee, Harass our mother Archa until she tries to kill you, then run back here. One of your party will succeed in angering her, and she will chase you all the way here, and then stop, after that, she will be reasonable..."<br/><br/>*Her ears twitched nervously*, "But she will kill me as a result...", *Yukiokai then laid back down with her paws on her belly, and looked up at the stars...and then the moon goddes slept and whispered*, "I'm not always right, sometimes things change."
