	~~The filtration baffles on his helmet hissed as they released, and~~ [[Leaf Shakes the Wind]] ~~appeared~~ in ~~the middle of~~ the campsite ~~as if from nowhere~~. "The monastary's closed for the night."		There was nothing to signal the arrival of [[Leaf Shakes the Wind]] in the campsite. The nightbirds sang, uninterrupted by his presence, and his voice undercut their song. "The monastary's closed for the night."

	[[Storm of Amber]] ~~jumped~~ to ~~his feet~~, unable to hide his surprise. Nearby, the sash of the [[Third-Arm Glaive]] snaked ~~towards his arm~~, but relaxed when the Zenith recognized his circle-mate. "You can try again in the morning," he said as he settled back down.		[[Storm of Amber]] fumbled a long paper scroll to the forest floor, unable to hide his surprise. Nearby, the sash of the [[Third-Arm Glaive]] snaked forward, but relaxed when the Zenith recognized his circle-mate. "You can try again in the morning," he said as he settled back down.

	Leaf ~~sat~~ across ~~the small fire~~ from his friend and ~~began to remove his armor for the night. Despite the suit's bulk, the delicate lightness of the attuned jade and the skill of its construction made it~~ a ~~quick process. Nevertheless,~~ the ~~Night took his time out of respect for his tools~~. "You don't mind the wait?"		Leaf stepped across from his friend and dropped a stick into the small fire. "You don't mind the wait?"

	~~Storm of Amber shook his head.~~ "~~Not at all.~~ [[The Wood Aspect Dude~~]] is still our best hope for curing [[The Infinite City\|the city~~'s]] ~~constructs of their madness~~. Besides, the trip is giving me time to read." The Zenith ~~lifted an ancient~~ scroll ~~from the forest floor, where~~ it ~~had fallen when Leaf surprised him~~.		"We need [[The Wood Aspect Dude's]] help; for that, I can be patient. Besides, the trip is giving me time to read." The Zenith retrieved the scroll and stretched it across his lap.

	"~~From~~ the [[The Halls of Jupiter\|Halls of Jupiter]]?"		"A prize from the [[The Halls of Jupiter\|Halls of Jupiter]]?"

	"A book of strategy from the First Age, penned by Ma-Ha-Suchi."		"''The Wolf Howls First In Summer.'' A book of strategy from the First Age, penned by Ma-Ha-Suchi."

	Leaf folded a corner of oiled ~~cloth over one~~ of the ~~armor's vambraces~~. "I'd heard rumors that he was that old, but ~~wasn't sure I should believe them. He~~ seems too savage to have fit into so civilized a time~~; he~~'s fallen far."		Leaf folded back a corner of oiled clothnear his feet, revealing the polished copper and red jade of his Most Fearsome Armor of the Fire Dragon. "I'd heard rumors that he was that old, but he seems too savage to have fit into so civilized a time. He's fallen far."

	"I'm not so sure. He writes of the war machines of his day, wonders that we have not seen in [[Lookshy]] or even the vaults of the [[The Infinite City\|Infinite City]], and he speaks only of how they make men weak. He mentions Luna constantly, but calls her only the Bloody Huntress..." Storm of Amber shrugged. "Reading his works I feel that he was always savagery, barely contained by the power of the Deliberative. It may just be the easy vanage of today, but I wonder if the solars of the First Age did not know what he would become."		"I'm not so sure." Storm of Amber shook his head and leaned across the scroll. "He writes of the war machines of his day, wonders that we have not seen in [[Lookshy]], or even the vaults of the [[The Infinite City\|Infinite City]], and he speaks only of how they make men weak.

	"~~And~~ he ~~lead armies filled with wonders that~~ he ~~hated?~~"		The Zenith shrugged. "Reading his works I feel that he was always savage, barely contained by the power of the Deliberative. It may just be the easy vantage of today, but I wonder if the solars of the First Age did not know what he would become."

	~~"It~~'s ~~hard to say. He doesn't write about~~ the ~~armies he fields so much as how to deal with war machines. His specialty is fighting the armies of~~ a ~~civilized nation." Storm of Amber wrapped~~ the ~~scroll closed and held it out to the air~~. "~~Without the knowledge in this scroll, I tell you~~ that ~~Lookshy would not stand against his armies for even a week.~~"		Leaf picked his armor's helmet out from the pile and traced a finger across the sensory augmentation visor. "And he lead armies filled with wonders that he hated?"

	~~Leaf held his armor~~'s ~~helmet in his hands; by~~ the ~~fire's dim light it seemed~~ a ~~bloody skull, stripped~~ of ~~all flesh~~. "~~Do we then doom ourselves by outfitting our~~ armies ~~with shock pikes and ashigaru armor?~~"		"It's hard to say. He doesn't write about the armies he fields so much as how to deal with war machines. His specialty is fighting the armies of a civilized nation." Storm of Amber rolled closed the scroll and held it out to the air. "Without the knowledge in this scroll, I tell you that Lookshy would not stand against his armies for even a week."

	"Without them, we would never have the raw strength to stand against his beastmen. We need those tools, no matter the counters Ma-Ha-Suchi can use against them. ~~Let him come, thinking~~ his knowledge is fine. ~~He will find that this~~ is a new age, and ~~that~~ I ~~have written~~ a new book of strategy." ~~With that,~~ Storm of Amber cast the ~~book~~ into the fire.		Leaf regarded his helmet; by the fire's dim light it seemed a bloody skull, stripped of all flesh. "Do we then doom ourselves by outfitting our armies with shock pikes and ashigaru armor?"

			"Without them, we would never have the raw strength to stand against his beastmen. We need those tools, no matter the counters Ma-Ha-Suchi can use against them.

			"But when he stands against us he will find his old knowledge not so fine as he thinks. This is a new age, and I will inscribe Ma-Ha-Suchi's doom in a new book of strategy." Storm of Amber cast the scroll into the fire, and its ashes raced towards Heaven.
