Time for a new phrase to be revealed; Demda - This is a shortened version of "I demand to hear the truth". Usually this phrase is offered to Honora clan members. Honora members are bound by this rule to tell the whole truth about a particular subject. However, this phrase should not be overused and never for personal matters of any sort.
I'm putting a cap of 20 chapters for this story, just so I can re-formulate some ideas and get a bit of breathing space. I will be continuing the Four Dominions story in due time.

Chapter 20: Knowing Them
Park was tending to Galamos' wounds. Park dabbed a white cloth onto Galamos' shoulder, "What do you think that was sir? A warning?". Galamos shook his head, "It seemed more like, an aggressive takeover. This Death Tribe situation worries me". Park looked up at him, "How so, sir?". Galamos put his hand on his chin, "Well... we don't know how many of them there are. What if that was just a scouting party and we are all in serious danger". Park looked a bit shocked, "Do you think this is some kind of conspiracy?". Galamos sighed, "Hard to tell. We'll just have to wait".
Warro had found Tury. Tury wasn't too badly injured, but his arm was aching from the previous battle. Warro waved, "Hey Tury". Tury walked over, "Oh, Hi Warro. Everything alright?". Warro sighed, "Yeah, it was annoying to be woken up so early though, we'd just finished a long shift was well". Tury smiled, "Never mind, let's go see how the others are".
Honora members often stick to having a few close friends, most of these friends will be from other clans. The reason being that Honora members are famous for not talking about their injuries to each other. Park walked up to Nara, "Demda, did you sustain any injuries during the battle?". Nara smiled, "Negative, I did not sustain any injuries". Park chuckled, "Okay then, I guess that was a bit unnecessary then". Nara walked up to Park and put a hand on his shoulder, "Thank you Park Prida. You were checking my personal condition, I appreciate that".

The next day, a strange sequence of events occured. Sarouki, Galamos, Rikardo and Valhala, the four leaders of each clan called together a council and arranged to meet with one of the clan members. The room was dark and circular. The leaders wore black robes and sat on four thrones.
The nervous clan member stepped forward, "You asked to see me sir?". Sarouki spoke, "We are in need of your help. We have a quest you must complete. Take three of your closest friends, one from each clan. Your destination is north, to the Blizzard Mountains". As the clan member left the hall, Sarouki spoke once more, "Emarka... Warro Brava".
