So, this Elder Beast had once been an ally? They had struck a deal with it, and been able to prosper because of it. But now it had become violent and attacked humans and beasts alike...

To put it simply, something seemed to have broken the deal and caused it to become angry.

"You say you once brokered a deal with this creature?" Nobunaga asked, cocking her head to one side. Indeed, if it was a being they had been able to strike a deal with, then...

"Excellent."

A smile on her face, the petite girl placed one hand to her slight chest.

"I consider myself to be something of a negotiator, you see," she began, "If this beast is capable of making a deal, then it can be reasoned with, can it not?"

To curry favor not only with the people of this village, but also some manner of ancient creature... It was an opportunity she could not ignore.

"If its ire is directed at the people of this village, then perhaps the words of an outsider may be able to reach it more effectively. It is the least I can do, to repay you for your generosity in such troubled times."
