Illiana strides up to the door to Roses sarcophagus with a load of books under her arm. She stops and looks up at a near by camera. "Open up Rose, Ive brought books."

Rose's voice has an excited tone as the door slides open with a hiss. "I love story time! Is everyone getting along now?"ROSE RED (aka Rosenrot)

Illiana strides in and pulls up a chair next to the sarcophagus. "Uhm, I would day that everyone understands each other a bit better. What kind of story are you in the mood for?" She sets the books in her lap looking at the titles and waits for an answer.

Rose thinks about it for a few moments.. "I like stories about knights, princes and sorcerers. I also like old school fairy tales, the ones with bad endings. Although if you can ever get him to sing for you, anything my dad can sing for you is awesome. He will sometimes sing stories to me, sort of like a personalized musical"ROSE RED (aka Rosenrot)

Illiana pulls a book from the stack. "I like the fairy tails with the bad endings too. I could sing you one of those but I know I dont sing as well as your father. How about the one about the mermaid?"

Rose giggles a bit. "I love that story, even with the sea foam at the end. Do your people write stories, or is it always told around a fire?"ROSE RED (aka Rosenrot)

Illiana smiles. "All the best stories are told around a fire. Would you like to hear a story from my people?"

Rose's voice gets very quiet. "Would you really tell me a story from your people? I would love that!"ROSE RED (aka Rosenrot)

Illiana stands and moves the chair against one and places the books on it. She paces a slow circle around Rose, her head bent and hands behind her back. "Well then young warrior, let me tell you about how Ah-moeanya and Great Father became one." She pauses for effect, arms still behind her back. Her movements start to become more fluid and cat like, she almost stalks around the sarcophagus. "Ah-moeanya was a great hunter. She could subdue anything the sun touched. One rawr from her powerful maw and she could paralyze anyone or anything in her path. Great Father on the other hand was not. He was clever though, and once he set his mind to something he always attained his goal. One day a great rip opened up in the air of the meadow and great, ugly tainted beasts poured out. They ravaged the land, corrupting and twisting the plants and animals. Driving Great Father and his people from their home. He screamed at the sky in rage and pain for the land and his people. "Something must be done! How will we defeat this enemy." It was in his despair that a plan came to him. It was said that if you could catch Ah-moeanya she would grant you a wish. So Great Father set out to snare the elusive tigress and make her help his people." Illiana pauses for breath, gaging the intensity of her audience.

Two of the internal cameras in the room swivel towards Illiana as she begins to talk. "Is it weird we saw a planet that had that happen. I am sorry I don't mean to interrupt, please continue."ROSE RED (aka Rosenrot)

"Not weird at all. I think what Great Father saw was Chaos touching our home world for the first time. It seems to be much more common now then it was in the stories" She walks while she talks. "So Great Father had to catch Ah-moeanya, how do you think he did it?"

Rose thinks about it for a few moments. "I would bring her a gift. I have never been good at hunting or tricking. However he could probably trick her to come to him. I am not sure how, but he is probably smarter than I am."ROSE RED (aka Rosenrot)

Illiana tsks at Rose. "Don't do that. You are smart and kind and just as clever as you need to be. Now listen as Great Father is just as clever as he needs to be." Illiana takes a long deep breath setting back into her story. "Great Father created a plan. He went to Brother Night and asked to borrow his shadow. Brother Night wanted to rid the land of the taint just as badly as Great Father so he gladly complied with Great Fathers request. So armed with the shadow, he wrapped it around himself and went in search of Ah-moeanya. He couldn't just run right up to her and expect to capture her though. Her ears were keen as was her sense of smell. He followed her at a distance for days. Not eating and sleeping little. When he was comfortable with her habits he put the rest of his plan in motion. He waited for her at the edge of a tree line near a meadow where she liked to nap after a meal. He waited until she was fast asleep and then pounced. Ah-moeanya woke with a start! She sprang up, struggling to dislodge Great Father from her back. It was a long hard fight, but in the end Ah-moeanya admitted defeat. She lay still and asked 'what is your request?' Great Father climbed of her back and set Brother Nights shadow aside. 'My only wish is power enough to banish the taint from the land.' She rose and paced around him for a time before she spoke. 'I too want to rid our land of taint. But I fear that if we banish the taint but I fear it will return stronger than before. I will combine my life force with yours and in that way you will gain my power. You will be able to morph your body into that of a great cat with all my considerable power and your children and your childrens children will be able to do the same.' And so it was. Great Father traveled back to Brother Night to return his shadow. Brother Night tore his shadow in two and handed half to Great Father. 'In honor of Ah-moeanya's sacrifice and to help fight the taint ' Great Father bowed deeply and took the gift. Great Father was able to banish the taint from the home land and his people where able to live in peace. And just as Ah-moeanya had said, from that point on all of Great Fathers children could channel the powers of Ah-moeanya. " Illiana closes her eyes for a moment as if in thanks, then looks up at Rose. "What did you think?"

Rose is quiet for a moment or too. "I love that story, is that your people? It sounds like something your people do, the fighting and protecting. Are you part god then?"ROSE RED (aka Rosenrot)

Illiana smiles. "I don't think so. I think it's just one way that my ancient ancestors explained how we came to be. I think a lot of cultures have stories that are similar. Maybe we could get Trouble or Will to tell us a story from their people."
