Nyx and her four bodyguards, as well as her cheetah, Luna, reached the Stari Village. She was taken aback by the familiar sites, and the loss of 'home'. Many of the Stari turned to her in either disgust, fear, or shock, or even all of them. The group approached the Chieftain's Hut. Two aggressive looking guards readied into a battle position. The Chieftain emerged from behind the curtain and signaled them to stand down. He invited Nyx and Luna into the hut for the private conversation.
"Sit down," the Chieftain ordered her. "You have made a bold gesture returning here. Where is your sister, Amaya? Has her time finally come?"
Nyx looked at him in anger at the condescension. "Speak another word like that of my sister, and I'll have you killed where you stand," Nyx growled enough to be heard.
"My.... what happened to you, Nyx? You were always a good child. You followed the rules, you were a great student. Until you left the Village. No matter, I am not going to discuss the past. Why have you returned? And who are those men out there?" The Chieftain said, fear now trembled in his throat.
"Chieftain, I am here to gain your support in the battle ahead," Nyx said, as a true Stari.
"What battle? We have been on a cease fire with the Deku for awhile now. Have they threatened us?" the Chieftain asked, with concern in his words.
"No Chieftain, with Logata. My Master is planning an attack on Logata. He's promised no one in the Forest will be harmed. But should you agree to ally yourself with him, he will reward us handsomely."
The Chieftain was surprised at what Nyx had said. He had heard of the world outside the crude comfort of the Forest, but that a 'global war' is about to start, it's unheard of to him.
"Nyx, I would like time to think about this. The future of the Stari is rested into this decision. I do not take it lightly."
Nyx sighed, "Chieftain, may I remind you that time is of the essence. I will return in the morning for your decision." And Nyx left the hut leaving the Chieftain alone.
