Game[]
On a visit to Nikumba, the Hero learned about the Yuga People. Nikumba told him about their leader, a man named Narcia, who was trying to teach Yuga techniques to the Aionians. He added that the leader was a fantastic shaman, and there might be something that he could teach the Hero and his group. The Hero said that he wanted to meet him and so he and his group traveled to the library on Mt. Hioni West.
At the library, the Hero met Domitia and Narcia. After introducing themselves, Narcia commented that he didn't think it was possible, but that the old wise man was right and the Hero and his friends were from 200 years in the future. Domitia added that said she didn't believe it. When the Hero commented that he knew it was hard to believe he was from the future, she said that is not what she meant. She meant that she couldn't believe that they had learned shamanism. She asked him how much effort he thought Aionia put into obtaining Yuga skills over the past decades. And even with that, only a few were somehow able to learn ninjutsu. But as for curse stones, only she was able to learn how to make them. In the case of shamanism, not a single person was able to learn even the simplest of techniques. It was just that difficult. So for them to be able to use such difficult techniques was impossible for her to believe.
Narcia asked her to calm down, and then introduced himself properly. He continued by introducing Domitia, saying she was a craftswoman who was member of The Pinnacles. She was in charge of everything related to receiving the Yuga techniques. He had heard about the Hero from the wise man Nikumba, and he didn't think he would lie or make up things, so he felt that there was no other choice but to accept it all as fact. But, like Domitia, he also found it a little hard to believe that someone in their group was a shaman. The Hero said it may be strange for him to say it, but he felt that that was easier to believe than someone saying they were their descendants from the future.
Domitia said that was not true for them. She furthered that the Yuga people desired to bequeath their unique skills and techniques, and the Aionais were interested in the powerful ninjutsu and shamanism as a matter of necessity in their fight against the Telluspharma. The interests of both parties aligned so they started the project. Narcia continued that for some unknown reason the Yuga techniques and skills seemed to be extremely difficult for Aionians. After decades the results were as Domitia had earlier said. There was not a single Aionian shaman. So the Hero should understand why when he had heard that 200 years in the future there were shamans who were not Yuga, it was not easy for him to believe it. Of course, if it were true, it would mean that his wish had been fulfilled and he would be happy. Domitia said she wanted proof.
Butruga offered to show them proof. Narcia was surprised, and Domitia could believe a member of the Feather Tribe was a shaman. Butruga said that the Feather Tribe weren't cowards and weak forever. He continued that since that they were the ones that wanted proof, they should take it outside. Domitia told him to stop and wanted him to use one of her curse stones. She said that if they couldn't be able to determine if he really was a shaman if he used a stone that she and Narcia didn't know. Butruga agreed, saying that he was a genuine shaman and wasn't picky about the curse stones he used. After he showed them proof, Domitia was surprised that someone from the Feather Tribe was really a shaman. Narcia apologized for doubting him.
When Zaveed spoke with them, he was abrupt like usual. He answered that he was a shaman, and when asked, he said if they really wanted to see proof he would show them. He told them to go outside. When Domitia asked him to wait a moment he asked Why. When she explained that she wanted him to use one of her curse stones. She said that if they couldn't be able to determine if he really was a shaman if he used a stone that she and Narcia didn't know. Zaveed commented that she was very wary, but agreed to her request. When Domitia was surprised he was indeed a shaman, he replied that he had told her that from the start.
