Ata'ka'tu est retournée cueillir des baies pendant qu'elle parlait à l'homme, s'assurant de bénir les plantes après qu'elle en ait cueilli les baies pour qu'elles se renaissent rapidement. "Oh, je vis à proximité, mais j'espérais juste cueillir mes baies avant la tempête pour pouvoir les vendre en ville. THey sera pourri d'ici demain, et j'aimerais passer le temps pendant la tempête en ville dans un immeuble réel au lieu de ma tente qui ne bloque pas la pluie aussi bien."
Cependant, comme elle a fini de parler, une femme de la ville a couru, avec son bébé sur le dos. "Ata'ka'tu" dit-elle, "Tu dois aider. Il y a une armée qui attaque la ville, et ils ont des démons et un sorcier avec eux."
"Des démons?" Elle a demandé alors qu'elle arrêtait de cueillir. "Très bien." Elle a remis son panier à la femme. "Ma tente est au sommet de la colline. Vous pouvez vous cacher là." Elle a vérifié pour s'assurer qu'elle avait son couteau et sa hache et a regardé l'homme qui était venu à elle. "Je vais en ville. Vous pouvez garder toutes les baies que vous choisissez si vous souhaitez rester ici. Mais je dois aider à protéger le village à nouveau les démons et les sorciers."
Ne voulant pas vérifier si l'homme était derrière elle, elle a rapidement fait son chemin vers la ville, en grimpant sur les toits de chaume des bâtiments pour qu'elle puisse faire son chemin vers eux en furtive. Quand elle a vu l'un des démons attaquer une femme, cependant, elle a glissé sur le toit du porche et l'a poignardé dans le dos. Bien qu'il ne soit pas mort, il a libéré la femme et s'est retourné, rugissant.

Personality: Kind and caring
Biography: As a child, he excelled at his knowledge of nature and had a way with the spirits, often being contacted by them while he went out to hunt. He joined the village Shaman as his apprentice, studying under him for over a decade before setting off on his own to live among nature and live with it. Eventually, he was asked to come to this place by the spirits. They told him that there were others he must meet, for a great storm approaches, the herald of an evil monster, and only together could they defeat it.
Once in this land he set out to find the others, and found that he was drawn to them, though the cord which drew them together felt dirty and rotten, though it grew stronger with time. Once gathered, they set off, though a storm forced them to take refuge in a cave. His skill with animals allowed him to befriend the bear which lived there, and it helps keep watch at night so they can sleep.
