"That would be immensely helpful! And fascinating to watch."

The snake man remembers that he has just finished distributing food to these needy souls. He moves a few feet down the street to that point, excitement seems to thrum through his whole being.

The Hilsilage spies a large cauldron that was recently emptied of the Lion supplies he begged earlier.

"Will this do?"

She nodded. "It should serve nicely."

The Hilsilage begs all his new friends to stand back as they gather to see what the snake man who lead them here will do next. He spreads his arms wide and smiles.

"Please, stand back and give us some room in which to work."

"A fire to keep it warm would be good." She explained, as she withdrew a scroll. "I should be able to do this a few times."

The Hilsilage calls the people to gather the remains of the woodworking from which their shelters were made. Those few who are not resting from their long ordeal and hard work gather many scraps along with twigs and small burnable castoffs.

"It always amazes me how quickly the young spring back from this sort of thing."

Miwako recited the prayer to summon water, imploring the water kami to infuse it with nutrients to form a comforting broth. They responded quickly, filling the cauldron.

"Ha-ha! Praise be to the teachings of Isawa, to his allies the kami, and to his descendant who is before us!"

The Hilsilage beams and chortles with joy as he compels and orderly distribution of the bounty.

"I am always astonished at the capacities of the talented. It's an amazing thing to make manifest."

She smiled at his exuberance.

"I will make more as necessary." she promised. "As much as I can."

"Thank you for sharing your gifts with us. I can feel what those among us who work such wonders feel, but I am not yet skilled enough to know how it is done. The feeling of it is so extraordinary. Like having every little bit of the whole world hear you."

The Hilsilage continues to guide the growing throng. His smile is wide, but fades a little.

"In truth, the ones who need help most are beyond our reach."

Isawa Miwako · **Joined:** Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:21 am **Posts:** 590

"True." she nodded sadly. "But, we'll help those we can. Thank you, for everything you've been doing."

"We are allies. Whatever befalls us, we will stand against it as one."

The Hilsilage proffers a bow of thanks as he slithers between the hungry Rokugani.

As the cauldron began to empty, she summoned more.

The merry fire begins to warm the new broth to a steaming miracle.

"Isawa-sama, what do you think may come in the days ahead? I am known among my people for looking for problems that do not yet exist. It is not always considered a positive trait."

"From what we have heard, we are likely to be attacked." she answered. "Beseiged by a significant army. Fortunately, we seem to have many skilled warriors here. Hopefully, that will be enough."

"We will have to remain organized and vigilant, to be of what use we can in the coming storm. Your skills will probably be in clear demand, and I am always surprised at how much small organization is needed in any crisis."

"Your assistance is greatly appreciated." she smiled. "In times like this, a calming presence is invaluable."

The throng began to clear out, each seeking their fill and then dispersing for much-needed rest. Eventually all are cared for.

"I am honored to have assisted you, Isawa-sama."

Isawa Miwako · **Joined:** Sat Apr 04, 2020 7:21 am **Posts:** 590

"I am grateful for the assistance." she offered a biw. "I doubt I would have a accomplished much without it."

"Everyone is now finding their appointed place to sleep. I suppose I should be doing the same."

The Hilsilage moves the cauldron back to the pile he retrieved it from.

"May the Pale Eye see you safely through the darkness, Isawa-sama."

"I look forward to seeing you again, Hilsilage-san." she nodded and turned to leave.
