“Trespassing? No, Ox King. We're here to help.” Koruza says, stepping forward. Drawing the so-called King's eye. “Seems Fire Mountain's flames are still burning bright as ever, even with the mountain's destruction.”
“Yes, I've been looking for a way to fix this.” he says, suddenly seeming older and more tired. “Even my daughter sought to end the fires. And despite me forbidding it, left our home here in search of my master. He has the Bansho Fan, which could extinguish these accursed flames! But it has been months, and my precious daughter hasn't returned! She's strong like me an' her mother, but I'm afraid something terrible's happened to her.”
At this the man stomps, the sheer weight and power of his stomp causing the ground beneath your feet to quake for several seconds before the tremors stop.
“Oh, my darling princess, where have you gone?” he says, more to himself than you all. Seems his mind is rather preoccupied at the moment. But then his expression changes, looking back to you. “Say, you look decently strong. What if we strike a deal?”
“A deal?” you ask, intrigued. “And what could you offer me, 'Ox King', that I need?”
“My village isn't part of some 'PTO', or whatever you called it. And we're not gonna be ruled by anyone!” he declares boldly, but then in a softer tone, continues. “But, my... My daughter, she means everything to me. She's all I have left. If you can find my daughter, and bring her back home, then we'll accept being subordinate to you. Karn, wasn't it? What do you say, Karn? Could you find my lost daughter and bring her back home?”
Well? How do you respond?
>Agree, then ask him and your half-demon children who know more of this world than you if anyone could help locate her>Tell him one problem at a time, then telepathically reach out to Okira. Explain the situation here then ask for her help putting the massive fire out >Ask your half-demon children if there's any way to locate a single human, and if they can to do it while you activate your Energy Body and dive into these flames. Fire needs a fuel source, if you can find and cut it off from wherever these flames are coming from underground then the flames should stop>Tell him that, if he surrenders first, then you'll not only find his daughter but also put out the fire as well. That being a member of the PTO comes with many benefits, not the least of which is your help>Other(write in)?
