Meke is a quiet, but fierce warrior who served as second to Shief Leonis of the Ra'shak clan until his subsequent banishment one year after they arrived on Terra. Clanless, Meke now wanders Terra as a Shahta'an, which loosely translates to honorless, or one without honor.

When Meke departed from the Veshrak jungle at the age of twenty, he left behind a younger brother of only seven years of age. It was once believed that Meke would succeed Leonis as clan Shief, and that his brother Ryth would stand at his side as Shamana, but now it falls to Ryth to restore honor to his bloodline while Meke has taken up the life of a rogue.

As with all Mira, Meke has been trained in the art of combat from a young age.

So begins...

"Understood. I'll make it! I'll get anyone I can to volunteer!" said Masaeyu to Meke, giving him a wave. "Enjoy the fish!"

This is good, thought Masaeyu. We get work. And without the danger of the kappa while fishing. It takes the strain off of a lot of the villagers. The children will be protected. So will any women who wander out.

He paused in thought, remembering that there was on little thing he needed to do. "Ryo!" he cried to the swordsman. "I need your help. I can't leave the stall and all the fish by itself. Would you mind finding my brother? He's out near the west side of the lake."

Ryo raised an eyebrow before nodding his head, "Alright, Masa. Is there a message you want me to carry, or ought I just say you're looking for him? And what on earth is he doing out there?" He shook his head with a chuckle, "In any case," Ryo glanced to Meke, "I'll be there at noon. One step at a time, eh?"

It was reaching noonday down at the lake where Meke was hard at work. Several of the townspeople had turned out to assist with building the fence alongside the main road, and many had supplied valuable lumber and materials of which the ministries had been unwilling to aid the village with.

Those that could work helped to move materials and to dig post holes, while others utilized hammer and nail to secure fencing. Those that were elderly, or too young, aided in other ways with the donation of food and drink for the workers.

All in all it wasn't a huge turnout, but it was a good number of people and with their assistance the fence would be complete in only a matter of days.

The post-and-rail fence wouldn't prevent the kappa from leaving the lake, but it would afford evening travelers some measure of security from being dragged unexpectedly over the embankments and into the water.

While the villagers were at work with the fence, Meke had made his way down to the lake edge where he was standing knee deep in the shallow water and nailing a post down into the lake-bed at a point adjacent from two other posts. A few of the villagers pointed and exchanged questions, but most were well enough occupied with their own work to not pay Meke too much mind.

For the moment anyways there was no sign of the kappa within the clear shallow waters that Meke stood within.

Ryo wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead, adjusting the hat he wore to shield him from the sun's glare overhead. He leaned forwards onto the post that he'd just finished embedding in the soil, stretching his exposed torso out and looking out across the beach towards where Meke stood. "Hey, traveller!" he called, "I'm curious, what are you doing putting a post out there? Some new plan?"

The young man raised one eyebrow, trying to figure out the possibilities for what the big cat-person could intend.

A short distance farther down the bank, Kyo stood with her bow at the ready in case the kappa were drawn to such a surge of activity at the water's edge. She glanced across to Meke after Ryo called out to him, but made no comment herself.

Meke was just finishing driving the post in when Ryo called out to him. He carefully waded through the clear water towards the bank - aiming to disturb the water as little as possible so as to not draw unwanted attention from the deeper recesses of the lake.

He retrieved another post from the waters edge before pointing at the embankment. "There," he told Ryo. "Where the soil is eroded."

The region he pointed to had been worn thin by frequent use but shielded well by the undergrowth that grew alongside the road.

"Meke! Mr. Meke, sir!" a boy called out as he came running along dragging behind him some netting that looked like it probably weighed more than the lad himself.

"I got what you asked for!" he yelled as he waved excitedly.

Meke grunted his approval and pat the lad on the head as he slung the netting over his shoulder.

"It is my wish to catch one of these kappa of yours," Meke explained.

Meke appeared with such abruptness that it almost seemed as if he had simply risen before before Surniph. He planted himself squarely between her and the militiaman that approached her from the front and a low snarl ripped from his throat.

Meke was an imposing figure even for a Mira, and his muscled form rippled with the aggression that rolled off him. Even his breathing was deep and husky as he stared the female down.

The lad that had found Meke peered on from behind a wagon of vegetables, eyes wide as saucers at the volatile change in Meke's behavior.

"You are unwelcome in these lands, Surniph of the Ta'kra," Meke snarled lowly. "You should not have left Aelora."

The trio of militiamen seemed uncertain what to make of the situation. Meke was Kyo Takeuchi's guest, but for the moment he appeared as feral and dangerous as the wounded Mira that had appeared within the village.

The snarling ceased abruptly, Surniph's ears twitching backwards in quiet recognition of her former clan mate. Just as suddenly, however, a row of sharp white teeth appeared, a smile curling over her features as she took him in.

He had changed on her. Become bigger, harder looking. It had been too long since she had seen him last, and their parting hadn't been under the best of circumstances. But the aggression, the flat threat delivered from one of her own kind, was something she knew well. She latched onto it.

"It appears," she said, gesturing towards her wounds, "that I hadn't any choice. Not happy to see me, Meke? Is that how one treats an old friend in this land?"

"The Ta'kra are no friend to the Ra'shak," he growled back. "Or to me."

It was a peculiar thing, that he had identified himself apart from the rest of the tribe that had split from Aelora.

He grabbed a fist full of the front of her clothes and dragged the injured female to her feet as his fiery gaze locked on hers. His face was so close that she could feel his heated breath upon her fur, and make out the distinct shades of green within the irises of his eyes.

"What is your purpose in coming here," he growled.

If the grab had hurt the female Mira, she gave no sign of it; her sly grin hardening into a warrior's mask that revealed nothing but her yellow-green eyes. Goliath, her shief, had often spoke in disgust of their weak willed and weaker limbed brethren clan that lived on the other world, and how they had likely grown fat and lazy without the Forest to sharpen their instincts and their bodies as tools for the hunt.

If there was weakness in Meke, she didn't feel it. He was every bit as fierce as he had been when they had shared a shief.

"I knew not that you owned these lands, Meke," she said, frostily, her hands reaching to grip his own, tightening around his wrists, "and I do not owe you an explanation. You will release me, or we'll both risk the Right of Blood."

Surniph lifted her chin, bracing herself against him to gain distance, eyes narrowing even further.

"All the meaning in the world. As I recall, Meke, you abandoned us. You have little right to comment on the honor of a clan when you've fled like rats from the rightful shief. Now unhand me."

"A shahta'an has no right to name himself Shief," Meke growled lowly. "A shahta'an has no clan, nor title. Your Shief lost his claim to such things long ago when he betrayed your Shamana and the ancestors with her," he reminded her vehemently as he released his hold upon her clothes, leaving her to either stand or fall. "As did those who followed him."

The female Mira staggered backwards, keeping her balance by sheer determination and refusal to look weak in front of a potential combatant. Her right leg was almost entirely useless for standing, and so she leaned towards the left, gaze on his thoughtfully.

"Survival over all," she said, defiance lacing through her voice. The mantra that had persisted throughout her brutal tenure under Goliath's leadership, the one that had banded together her clan, came forth. Even as her vision blackened, adrenaline bled out of her quickly, her vision swimming, she managed to hold her chin high.

"We waste time dredging old wounds, warrior. I wish an audience with your Shief. I will go under whatever guard you deem necessary in order to pass along a simple message. Afterwards, I will accept whatever fate befall me."

"I have no Shief," Meke replied.

He turned from the female to walk away, pausing only briefly to look over his shoulder.

"These people. Harm them, and we will see one another again," he warned.

Surniph watched him, every barbed comment fleeing her as he stated his promise, heavy with threat. Unable to do more, she merely nodded her acknowledgement.

She had no ill will towards these people.

And with that, she let the darkening around her vision claim her, falling backwards towards the ground, slipping into sweet, comforting oblivion.

"To catch one?" Ryo repeated, raising an eyebrow. "People have tried, and succeeded in the past. But to my knowledge nothing useful has come of it. I have seen some, in travelling circuses or zoos; they are nasty creatures in a cage or out of it."

Kyo had, in the meantime, made her way over closer to where they were gathered. "You'll need bait," she noted, "Though I'm sure you had that in mind. The kappa have seemed to like to raid our stores of meat since they started coming on land. Perhaps they prefer it to the monotony of the fish in the lake. You could likely bait the trap with some of that, but it's possible you may draw more attention than your net can handle."

The young swordsman cocked his head and drummed his fingers on the post as he listened to Kyo speak. "So what do you aim to do with your captured kappa?" he asked when she was done.

Though the sun was high in the sky, it appeared that a star had appeared in the blue, only to grow brighter within a few minutes. It was likely that no one would even notice the bright speck until it became a falling star, that streaked toward the lake at terminal velocity. A roar of thundering shook nearby trees, and sent birds flying in fright from the falling object, as it plunged into the lake with a cacophonous splash. Moments passed, as the water attempted to return to its earlier calm, until a coughing, sputtering male thrashed to get his head above the surface, screaming wordlessly in panic. His black hair was plastered to his face, obscuring his vision, and he seemed to be weighed down by some sort of heavy feathered coat. His screams were somewhat high pitched, and sounded like the panicked cries of a drowning bird. He had a light stubble over his chiseled jaw, and might have been considered handsome, if not for his drowned-animal behavior.

It seemed the man had no clue of how swimming worked, as he frantically slapped at the water with both arms, in an effort to propel himself upward. In a turn of unsurprising events he suddenly vanished under the water, probably yanked into the depths by the kappa that lived there. Or he just drowned because he fell from the sky and sucked at swimming. These things happened.

Meke shook his head. "We do not speak of the same kappa," he explained. "The kappa I seek will require a different sort of bait. Perhaps you might be of assistance," he noted. Meke wasn't well versed in human attractiveness, but from his time in Losenji he suspected Kyo would be more than adequate for his purposes.

"Meke, sir?" the boy asked as he followed Meke back down into the shallow water. "How can you tell what kind of a kappa it is?" he asked.

The boy seemed to have taken quite a shine for the Mira drifter.

"I will show you," Meke told the boy.

Though before he could follow through on the offer a few murmurs and gestures from the men and women along the road's edge drew his eye. They were pointing skyward and he turned his gaze to the sight of the bright light descending towards the open water.

Up until now Meke had taken care in not making too much commotion as he worked so as to not draw the attention of the kappa that lurked in the deeper waters, but the thunderous roar and subsequent splash followed by the man's mad flailing served to rouse the creatures.

Though they could not be seen yet, the churning of the water and the movements of the ripples at the surface betrayed the creatures beneath.

Meke wasted little time in grabbing the boy up out of the water and turning to pass him off to those at the banks edge; though, his own sudden movements and sloshing only added to the commotion in the water.

"What was that?" Ryo exclaimed, eyes widening as he turned towards the splash. It didn't take him long to make out the flaming shape of a man in the waters. "Ahg! How did he get there?!"

The swordsman jumped into action, taking off down the beach to yell at one of the other villagers. "Setsuo! Fetch your boat! There's someone out in the water!"

Out where Huginn was, whilst the villagers were pushing the boat into the water, the kappa had indeed been disturbed. The turtle-like beasts came in small numbers at first, barging and clawing him as they passed by. The fishing boat was shoved out into motion and Ryo clambered on board alongside two other villagers, bearing spears and oars both.

It would take them time to reach the struggling man though, and it wouldn't be long before the kappa began to tug him downwards under the surface.

Sadly, the villagers came too late. By the time they reached where he had been, all that was left was ripples in the water. Ryo made to dive in after him, but was held back by the other men on board. "He's gone now, you can't go after him or you'll die too." one said to him, shaking his head. "Let's get back to shore while the kappa are still occupied and not attacking our boat."

Some minutes later, Ryo trudged up the beach as the other villagers tied the vessel at the docks. His expression was fixed in a grimace.

Kyo met him at the edge of where the construction was taking place with a sympathetic gaze. "You couldn't have done anything for him. You moved faster than I thought could be possible, but he was too far out."

Nodding mutely, Ryo sighed and sat himself down on the sand. "Seeing the kappa's aggression so close... I was finding it hard to picture the creatures as ferocious as you described them. Not any more. They were out for blood."

"Something needs to be done before more lives are lost..." Kyo muttered, looking back at Meke. "What was that you were saying about wanting my help baiting another kind of kappa?"
