CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Zhash slowly nodded his head as he pointed to the camp fire, "I've made enough for two and more. We three could split it up."
Before heading back to the campfire, a thought struck Zhash. He turned back to Atlas, "You had a nightmare, didn't you? I had a dream as well. I think it is important, it might actually have some meaning. I will tell it to you as we eat, if you'd like."

"Of course Zhashban, I would be honored. And Scott please don't ask about Landreus." Atlas said still somewhat distracted
ooc: it IS still Zhashban right?

((Yes, I just don't like to write his whole name out. It's just a nickname...))
Zhash pulled three wooden plates from a pack that had been brought along and proceeded to place a sausage and an egg on each. After handing the food and utensils to everyone and waiting for them to get seated, Zhashban began to retell his dream. He made sure to retell every detail he could remember. After finishing, Zhash looked to the other two to see their reactions.

"I see...the second oak is Emoria. The first Atlantis and the axe and hand was the treachery which sprung from it. But what was the Mighty Oak?"

Zhash shook his head, "You see, that's just it. I don't know what it means, but something tells me it means a great deal. I think it is a prophecy of some sort, or a guidance dream of some sort."

"Alas dreams are new to me. The only thing more helpful than a prophet is a prophetic interpreter. Alas we do not have time to ponder perhaps we will learn more as we progress."

Zhash's mouth was full of egg and sausage, and so had to resort to nodding his agreement to Atlas' statements. After swallowing and wiping his mouth with his sleeve, Zhash gave a light cough and continued, "True, we will leave it as it is, then? The important thing is that we need to prepare for today's march," Zhash paused a second, not sure he wanted to say what he was thinking, "and possible battle."

"Actuall human to human combat I have never participated in a battle...though I have went through vigorours training in my earlier years and I am an expert in the pride of our city, the Bow and Arrow." Zhash didn't like to brag about his abilities with the bow, but it was true and an appropriate response. Turning to Scott, "Good, idea. This is why I'm not a war strategist. I do not think of those kinds of things in time."

"Excellent Scott a brilliant move. And let us go." Atlas said and they picked up and left. They rode for quite a ways before the port city of Yitia (sp?) came into view. They entered and waited for a state introducion. However Atlas had fallen into thinking of what occured to put him in this position and the meaning of the dream and was all but unaware of their arrival leaving it to Scott to speak for him.

Colonel Dominic watched as Kelli walked. Slowly taking a golden ring from his pocket he presented it to her.
"A gift, my lady." he said in a courtly manner

OOC: Basically present yourself and say who we are. Explain what we are doing here and try to forget to mention Atlas.

((It's Yitai...and don't you think Zhash should be making the intros?? I got it.))
Zhash was glad to see his hometown, though it was in a more chaotic state than he would have liked to have seen. The streets were overly crowded with the excess of the populations of the farming villages. Many people cheered as Zhash and Atlas made their way to the Forum in the center of the city. There were those, however, that only hung their head in sadness, knowing the battle that was about to ensue.
Leaving the army behind, Zhash, Atlas, Scott, and several other high-officers entered the main court where they met the Chief of Defense of Yitai, his council, and the Loguist ((speaking head of the Yitain Assembly/Senate)).
The Loguist was the first to step forward. He was a man of tall stature and disfigured form. His nose was slightly crooked, and his shoulders always sat at an awkward angel. He eyed Zhash warily before preceeding. His voice was clear and precise, but rang with an almost innoticable hiss, "Welcome, Atlas, our savior! We have been hoping for your arrival for much time now." A motion from the Loguist brought in several servants who produced many easy chairs, dressed in the finest red goose-down available.
The Loguist motioned for the members of both parties to take their seats. Before seating himself, the Loguist spoke once more, "Take your seats and enjoy the comfort while we better introduce ourselves before we begin with the real matters that press us. I am Retta Yoto, the Loguist and Assumed Sovereign Head of Yitai."
Other members on the Yitai side also stood up, giving their names and titles, most of which belonged to the military branch.
Zhash had taken a seat in the circle of chairs next to the Chief of Defense. As everyone began introducing themselves, the Chief of Defense leaned over and whispered in Zhash's ear, "They were to bring no more than a thousand men! That army was at least twice that size!"
Zhash whispered back, "What have you to fear?"
The Chief of Defense gave Zhash a queer look, "What if he is to turn on us? We could not stop it!"
"I doubt he will turn on us."
"What are your doubts worth? Your only a diplomat!"
Zhash leaned back in his chair, realizing that he could not win the argument and that it would soon get out of hand. The Chief of Defense also sat back, shaking his head in disgust.
((Remember the name Retta Yoto. He's going to become important in the future. He doesn't like Atlas at all and will do everything in his power to retain his power.))

ooc: I had hoped for him not for him to be mentioned that is why I mentioned for boxers not too. I know Zhash should but I wanted Scott to have a more predominate position. I know what I am doing. Good job all the same though...
