The Temple of Padme was filled completly with 99 Holy Warriors and the Priest and Priestess. Traditionaly there were always 100 Holy Warriors; 50 Priest, 50 priestess. But one of the priestess warriors knew nothing of the meeting, the youngest. Capriella Ream, Capri.
"Yaseinet", the booming voice of High Priest Dantan demanded, "Why have you called together the entire council?"
"Correction Dantan",Yaseinet said sweetly,"one of my own warriors is not here"
"The young one I presume?"
"Yes"
"I told you she was trouble. Girls that age that are as wild as she are not responsible!"
"She is not here because I did not tell her"
"Afraid she might do somthing?"
"No, Capriella is very trustworthy AND responsible. The meeting concerns her going to help the modokens in the fight against the Magog Cartel."
"WHAT?!!!!!"
" The modokens are fighting this fight practically alone. I've spoken to the Big Face in private and he told us he cannot garentee it completly, but if we help them the modokens will do their best to help us find food when we have none. And as you know our tribe is terrible low on food and supplies. If we don't get some crops to grow, the tribe will die out withen a few short months", Yaseinet then looked Dantan strait in the eyes,"And as you know, we are the last Watyin tribe on Mudos, the place where Padme first touched the blue rocks by the river and made the first Watyins"
Dantan thought for a moment.
"But why the little girl?" he asked.
"Capri is the most agile and has the advantage of sneaking past the sligs because of her small size and most of all, she is EXTREAMLY rightoues and would do this in a second", Yasienet answeared.
"You can't send her alone"
"Then pick one of your warriors"
Dantan turned to his 50 warriors.
"Do any of you wish to accompany the Priestess Warrior Capriella!"
"I will go with Capri", Roc steped foward.
"Roc, you are still young, I cannot risk you going now."
"I've known Capri since we were young and I feel that I am responsible for her safty."
"Very well"
Dantan turned to Yaseinet.
"Roc shall acommpany Capriella"
Yaseinet went to Roc.
"Thank you young Roc", she said in her calm,soothing voice,"May Padme and Odd look after you and Capriella"
