The kingdom soldiers guided Kamodichi and Ataku a few miles to the Kingdom. The guards let them through the gate. Inside they saw middle class people fanning themselves. Drinking different beverages, wearing laced dresses and suits and elegant foot wear. "Your outfits and clothing are very elegant. Especially yours madame" Vianna said.

"Thank you" Ataku said. "Can I ask your names" Vianna said. "Kamodichi Juno" Kamodichi said. "Ataku" Ataku said. "Your last name is Juno" she concluded. "Yes" He said. Vianna looked at him curiously. "You wouldn't happen to be related to Kinello Juno" she asked. As soon as she said that, a tall man wearing a red tunic and armor came in front of their path. "Kinello, this man says his name is Kamodichi Juno, do you know him" Vianna asked. Kamodichi stared at his older brother with shock. His older brother Kinello had stood before him. He had brown hair, the same black hair except his hair was short and neatly groomed to one side.

Ataku looked at Kamodichi then the one who was said to be his brother. Kinello stared eye to eye with Kamodichi. "Why is he here" he asked Vianna. "To thank him for what his colleague has done and to discuss a few things about the peasants" Vianna told him. "Then I will partake in his discussion but his colleague?" Kinello said. "The young Ataku" Vianna introduced Ataku with a wave of her hand. Their eyes met and he grinned slightly, she was beautiful to him. But what he couldn't believe was his brother was alive and with a beautiful woman such as Ataku. "Well let the horse whisperers tend to the mare's. I will let the cooks know to set a dinner but of course I would like to speak with my brother on such terms, shall we" Kinello said. "Yes, I see so he is your brother. I shall let you enjoy your gathering with him" Vianna said.

"Dismount your horses if you please" Vianna told Kamodichi and Ataku. They did, "Take the horses to the guest stables" she told her two followers and they obeyed. Vianna followed behind them with her horse and left Kamodichi and Ataku with Kinello. "Its been a long time Kinello" Kamodichi said. "Yes quite a long time. We thought you were dead" Kinello said. "I thought you guys were dead" Kamodichi stated. They began to walk, "father died in the massacre, mother died later on with us. She was attacked by a wild animal" Kinello said walking towards a tall building.

"Kishimi is here and survived", he added. "Kishimi" Kamodichi said. "She has cried over you many times at night, you saved her after all. It gave me a little respect that you had died in saving her but I see you are alive. So why!?" He turned to him. "Why didn't you come back to us"  Kinello was angry. "What are you talking about" Kamodichi narrowed his eyes at his brother. "You survived so why didn't you try and find us" Kinello asked. "Find you... I walked the whole entire forest, no food or water I nearly died again from dehydration then someone found me. I was 7 years old I wouldn't have made it. I had no idea where you had gone. Or what had become of you. I thought the bandits killed you once you got out" Kamodichi told him. "Don't blame him, Kamodichi does what's best for people. He focuses on helping people now. Please understand that he was also in a bad place and didn't know what to do" Ataku defended. The men both turned to her. Ataku was being more involved than usual. "So you helped save him then" Kinello asked. "No he saved me" she told him. "Really" Kinello looked at her. They told her story...
