>"Only bits and pieces. I'm from Easthaven originally, out on Estval Continent, which escaped that particular conflict. I've only been over here for about a week or so."
>"No books out that way either?" she remarks dryly, but doesn't actually wait for an answer. "Anyway, the whole thing was a mess from start to finish, but one of the major instigators was believed to be a really old youkai by the name of Yuuka Kazami. She had a habit of turning the local flora into some kind of nightmare army that didn't have time for little things like 'mercy' or 'leaving survivors'. The destruction of at least a dozen outposts was attributed to her in one way or another, and the massacre at Nemubochi was probably her work, too - or at least why it was a massacre and not just another battle. She was presumed dead after a complicated incident near Sasa Dioro and eventually the war ended. Nobody's heard a peep about her since and it's just as well, if you ask me."
>She paces to the other end of the room and peers through the narrow window. "Now, I don't
know that this is the same Yuuka - maybe it isn't and the fairies are just being scardy-cats like
always. But a bunch of things match and the physical description's close enough. And
they certainly didn't pull her file from the military archives to check," she adds with a sidelong glance. "It's enough that I'd rather assume it's her than it isn't. She's the type who mightn't let being dead for 50 years stop her, if you get my meaning."
