When Niï pushed the curtains of the hut, he was assailed by the tempting smell of dinner. While it was agreed that he would prepare the evening meal, his mother had already returned from her diplomatic mission, and was working on it in his place. Kneeling over a small amber stockpot, she was seasoning the cold soup it contained with various aromatic herbs. Looï glanced at her elder, making sure he hadn't forgotten to leave his equipment outside. Within the family household, the rules were strict, and Looï saw to it they were respected by all. Dressed in a simple woven loincloth, Niï greeted his mother. At twenty years old, the Zoraï had a body with chiseled muscles, whose blue skin, clear and smooth, reflected his youth.

:''"You're worried about father, right?"'' said Niï, while sitting down again suddenly.

And at that same time, the homin in question, as if obeying an invocation, passed the drapes of the hut. Resting on a muscular neck and trapezius, the impressive mask entirely tattooed with black swept the room with his gaze. Seeing that his elder had already arrived, Sang stopped short. He stared at him coldly for a few seconds, then shifted  eyes to his wife.

Sang continued, his tone as raging as ever.

Looï put the pieces Niï had just finished cutting into a bowl containing dried fruit and stood up.

Sang muttered a few words at the mention of Min-Cho, the so-called Great Sage, and grabbed a goatskin of water. Looï continued, ignoring her husband's annoyance.

In fact the Black Mask was not listening to his wife, but was staring at his son with insistence. Once his thirst quenched, he walked towards him.

:''"He… Hello Kami. My name is Pü Fu-Tao. D... Do you have a name?"

:''"He… Hello Kami. My name is Pü Fu-Tao. D... Do you have a name?"

:''"Uh… Can you speak? I've been told that Kamis can speak."

:''"Uh… Can you speak? I've been told that Kamis can speak."

The Kami put its claw on his furry head, before pointing it again in Pü's direction. The child's face lit up.

The Kami, whose claw was still pointed in Pü's direction, laid his gaze on the diadem.

:''"Niï, a Kami was there in the workshop. I think he wanted Mom's diadem. He held it tightly to him."

Niï knelt down in front of his little brother.

Niï exploded with anger.

Sang swung his stool and walked toward his son. Then the High Priestess stood up, and the hut charged with energy flood. Around her, the air began to vibrate, and the light abruptly distorted: Looï was giving off an overwhelming aura.

Instinctively, Sang and Niï let themselves fall to the ground.

The two Zorais sat back down without saying a word. Pü was staring at his mother, his eyes shining with admiration. She smiled at him. In accordance with her orders, and despite the palpable tension, the rest of the meal went on calmly. When all four had finished their bowl of fruit and the table was cleared, Sang got up and headed for the exit of the hut.

:''"It all depends, Pü. Your father is a much better warrior than I am. I'm no match for him in hand-to-hand combat. But like Grandmother Bä-Bä, I have been blessed by the Kami. My mastery of magic is far superior to that of any of you."

:''"It is not something we choose, Pü. It is the Kamis that choose us. By the way, can you tell me more about the Kami you met?"

Sitting on the edge of the large root on which the family hut was built, Pü watched the other dwellings of the village, located on either side of the stump heights, and lit by the tireless dance of the fireflies. Several stories below his feet, he could see the thatched roof of the dojo, where his father was probably in the middle of training his brother. He hoped that both of them had calmed down. Pü had a very close relationship with his older brother, who constantly showed him love, but who could also show authority when necessary. He was his best friend as well as confidant.

As agreed, his mother didn't delay to joined him for his evening classes. She sat down next to him.

As Looï had expected, Pü's face suddenly darkened. He tightened his embrace and buried his face in his mother's chest. A muffled voice came out there.

:''"Do you think this will change a lot?"

:''"Do you think this will change a lot?"

Pü was agreeing weakly, when suddenly a voice was heard. It belonged to Ke'val, his father's brother. The brother of the Black Mask, then. His brother and his Shadow, whom Pü should one day succeed.

:''"Looï, Pü, I hope I'm not disturbing you."

:''"Looï, Pü, I hope I'm not disturbing you."

Pü stood up in turn. His uncle looked a lot like his father, right down to the horns of his mask. Only the untattooed parts of this one made it easy to tell the two homins apart. Pü was very fond of his uncle, who was his referent master instructor. He trained with him almost every day. Like his father, Ke'val was very strict. But in contrst to the last, he knew how to express compliments. Thinking back on the conversation he had just had with his mother, Pü couldn't help but wonder if Ke'val had ever wished to take the Black Mask's place. The thought terrified him. Very fortunately, his uncle did not give him the opportunity to wander any longer in his thoughts.

Again, an unanswered question. Definitely, Pü was eager to grow up.
