The children were swarming the dancing oaf at a faster rate. He must have used magic, reasoned Felix, who stared harder. No, balloons. Something had to be done, "Hey Hugo." "What." "100 Doubels says I can make that clown look like a total jerk face with out moving from this spot." Hugo scratched his chin and then glared at Felix, "Counter wager, how 'bout you don't." Felix pretended to consider the counter wager, "Alright, how about a counter counter wager, How 'bout I do, or I will be turning on my favorite sleeping aid." Hugo's eyes widened, "You won't dare put him on in deep Solarian lands, if you dare try to turn that radio on I will strangle you." Felix tilted his head "Oh contrare, and on top of which you're talking to me aloud." Hugo quickly shut his mouth and began to look forwards blankly. Felix smiled a little and quickly readjusted his position. In a flash Felix quickly shifted into a Southern Shooting Porcupine and fired one quill into the mass of ballons. Felix quickly shifted back into his cat form and watched as the children, he hated so much, burst into tears. "Felix you are a gigantic jerkface."

Summer Solstice Festival was here again. The one day a year that the heavenly globe known as the Sun hangs high in the sky for the majority of the day, it's a well known festival day. In Kergstein, the festival is a really big deal, as most tourists make a pseudo-pilgramage there each year, which provides a huge boost to the local economy. In the Town Square, festivities were underway and in full swing, with revelers and merchants celebrating Sele's grace with song and dance. Near the middle of the square, a large group of children clustered around a statue, scribbling on it with chalk and laughing merrily.

The statue was of a smiling matron, garbed in impressive stone plate-armor and seated on the edge of the fountain. She was depicted with her head in one palm, eyes closed and resting her elbow on her knee, feet crossed. The most visually striking feature of the statue was the hair, which seemed to be a wild cascade of pure gold thread spilling about the shoulders and down its back. Most of the plates on its armor were covered in drawings, depicting the Sun, Sele, and various aspects of nature. Many of the children were talking to the statue, telling it about whatever fanciful ideas popped into their heads. Suddenly, a child came running up to the statue, sobbing and holding a popped balloon.

Very slowly, a change fell upon the statue. Its eyes slowly opened, searching for the source of distress. The child held his popped balloon up for the statues inspection, tears running down his reddening face. The statue breathed in, the sound audible for several meters.

"My! What has befallen you, little one?" A booming voice issued forth from the mouth of the now awoken Kiganjo, deep yet womanly. Kiska reached down, scooping the child up with one arm and cradled him in the crook of her elbow. The rest of the children paid him no mind, instead darting off to participate in the maypole or cause havoc in the crowds. Pointing one grubby hand in the direction of the balloon merchant/clown, he whined some unintelligible gibberish and waved the popped balloon in the air, futily trying to get it to float again. Nodding in understanding, Kiska gained her feet, sending a light cloud of chalk dust into the air around her.

Everyone in the immediate area backed up, some in fear, and some calmly. Those that lived in the town were of course used to Kiska being around by now, but the tourists for the most part had never seen an elemental before, and certainly not any living being of Kiska's size. She began to sluggishly plod over to the Fool, giving him ample time to notice her and quickly scramble for another balloon. By the time she reached him, the man was doubled over, winded but holding an elaborate balloon lion out for Kiska's approval. She drew in another breath, causing many of the balloons to drift slightly closer to her.
"My thanks, Fool. Tis a grand creation." She gave him a warm smile, passing the lion to the child in her arm and turned to go back to her spot on the lip of the fountain.

"Hey Hugo, did you see that too?" "What the moving statue?" "So I'm not crazy." "You're goddamned lucky that you're a shapeshifter." Hugo stood up, "Hey Felix you think she is affiliated with GMHO." Felix stared at Hugo and then suddenly realized what he was going to do. "Whoa buddy we don't have to go to far. I actually would like to keep my skin." Hugo rolled his eyes, "Well I thought it would be a good idea to have an elemental on our side, and thank you for the suggestion." Hugo stood out of his chair and began walking to the elemental, "Wait! Please don't! I won't threaten to turn on the radio again! Please stop." Hugo ignored Felix and stood next to the elemental, Felix motioned for him to stop and Hugo just smiled and waved. "So did you know that there is such a thing as a shapeshifting animal who hates children?" "You son of a gun."

<><><><><><><><><><>
Turning in surprise, the elemental examined the newcomer with suspicion and moved her arms around her charge defensively. Frowning, Kiska inhaled slowly.

"What are you implying? Be you this shapeshifter? I warn you, I am not to be trifled with." She swiveled her torso a bit, putting her shoulder in between Hugo and the child in her arms. Bending her knees slightly, Kiska prepared to snap the human in two with a kick if he proved to be dangerous.

Felix glared at Hugo and Hugo smiled back. Felix quickly darted behind the table and tossed up the radio onto the top of the table. Felix glared at Hugo with his paw above the on button and Hugo glared back. "Your move." "It seems we have an impass." "So we do." "Felix I will shoot that damned radio and you will owe me a new radio." Hugo turned his head to the elemental. "Sorry thats my comrade, he's a gigantic jerkface, and he hates," Felix raised his paw over the on button. "children." Felix's eyes widened as he went for the button. With a quick motion Hugo drew out The Punisher and fired three rounds into the radio, "AND NOW YOU OWE ME A NEW RADIO YOU JERKFACE!" Hugo extended his hand to the elemental, "The name's Hugo, care to become a magic hunter?"

<><><><><><><><><><>
Humans never ceased to astound her. Not only was this one talking to a cat as if the beast could understand him, but he also appeared to be slightly unhinged mentally. Kiska edged away from him a bit, still glaring suspiciously.

"You humans and your chaos. I know not what a Magic Hunter is, but I know that you need take your leave of this place," she warned. Kiska deposited the child in the care of his parents, who had stopped by to see what all the fuss was about. Upon hearing the words Magic Hunter, they began to titter with excitement.

"You're joining the Magic Hunters, Kiska? That's wonderful news! Maybe when you're all rich and famous you can come back here and share some with us, eh?" The couple turned to their friends, spreading the good news that their resident elemental was joining the Magic Hunters to bring them all great wealth and items of wonder.
Immediately confused and more than a little frustrated, Kiska tried to dissuade the townsfolk, but they wouldn't hear any of it. Several children came by to wish her safe travels, eyes filled to the brim with tears. Kiska turned to Hugo, an upset expression dominating her face.

"You snake! You had this planned from the beginning, did you not?" Crossing her arms over her chestplate, Kiska sighed heavily, rustling Hugo's coat. "Very well, if only to ensure you do not cause harm to my children with your insanity, I will escort you."
<><><><><><><><><><>

Hugo gave the elemental a big grin, "Pish Pish, that would suggest I plan things, I don't often plan things. Yeah, and I'm sorry if I frightened the children, but hey kids love guns," Hugo rubbed his right arm and cringed, "And they love firing them into people, apparently, who woulda thunk." Hugo looked over to the table and noticed that it lacked the "Magic Hunters Recruitment Drive" sign. "Oh I have an idea! Why don't you help me recruit more people, and I promise I will not shoot anymore radios." Hugo quickly ran to the back of the table and pulled out the sign that said in messy handwriting "Super Awesome Magic Hunters Recruitment." "So you wanna help?"

<><><><><><><><><><>
Kiska scowled intensely at Hugo, unsure of whether or not to kick the man in half and save herself the trouble later or humor him out of her love for all races. Finally, her maternal instincts won out, and she held out her hand for the sign, though she deigned not to say anything. Soon, Kiska found herself by Hugo's table, holding his sign into the air and waving at people, back into her normal good mood. Many stopped by just to chat with them, wishing Kiska good luck and fortune or questioning Hugo about his plans for the future.
