2 #2 First Day Life on the Island

Bo Tsu, the fisherman who saved the supposed goddess from the waves, waits outside of a door in the leaders home as women rush back and forth. Weary and worried he has not slept all night.

The door finally opens and an Elder nudges his arm and brings him into the room. A very tired lady smiles at her Savior and motions to him to see her child. The Elder scolds poor Bo Tsu thinking that he has hidden away a wife and sinned against the village laws. He then recants the story of how he found her to the Elder and the Leader, all the while the lady is silent. She doesn't know the language that they are speaking until she recognizes a word that is in her ancient fox tongue. Her ears perk up and she speaks hoping someone will understand her words.

"My name is Jun Luna", she speaks in fox speak.

Wide eyed the Leader, known as Bo Sei,

recognizes her words as ones taught to him by his grandfather and weeps.

"Welcome, I am Bo Sei, and you are in our Kitsune Clan fishing village." , responds The Leader, "This is my nephew, Bo Tsu, he rescued you from the water last night. What shall we call your young one Miss? And where do you hail from?"

"The last I remember is being on an Imperial Barge for a ceremony but I can not remember much after being swept or pushed off. I have not chosen a name for this little one yet."
