Jekkal leads you through a neck of the forest to the inner heart of Kiosko, which Jekkal calls Ryoshu. A rimmed crater, shaped sort of like an ellipse, is there. You see many crates there, as well as a few bundles of prey, being hauled up into the treetops. "Erm...." you mutter. "I know it doesn't look good, but the Ryoshu is the main conduit from the forest floor to the Kakori, an area in between the floor and the canopy, which is the main living ground and marketplace. The Ryoshu is also an ideal egg spot, since there is much warmth here."Jekkal drones on. You notice a white Semite on one corner of the marketplace, an arm holding two small hatchlings. Jekkal walks you over to her. "This is Cassandra, the Decele, or as you would say, Queen, of Kiosko." She says as the two of you shake hands, even though Cassandra's is twice the size of yours. "She's also my mother." Jekkal whispers into your ear. "Wow!" you say, looking over at Cassandra. "I'd love to help you guys out with repopulation. I can take care of a semite!" "Don't expect one from me, visitor..." Cassandra smirks. "I haven't had a clutch in five years... no matter how much our numbers need to go up, I'm sticking to just a Leo and a Demont!" "I hate to ask, but what is a Demont?" You ask, throughly confused. "Here's a chart to help you. You'll find varying types of Semites, for we are a crossbred species of English Dragon and Common Cobra. As a rule, all normal types of Semites are created equal, and the mutations, such as twins, Demonts, and Monochromes, like myself, are royalty." Cassandra hands you a piece of paper with some descriptions and illustrations.
