>Let's head for the Tengu Village then! Maybe we'll catch up to it!

> You head for the Tengu Village, where you see something similar to the figure at the gate.

> You realise, upon looking at the similar figure, that it is a canine youkai. You see a Tengu next to it, so you figure that they must be the Tengu's pals or something.

[I'm under the impression Mystcia dosen't know there are Wolf Tengu, being a bird herself, and with the prominence of Aya, she'd assume all Tengu are birds.]

> "There are wolf Tengu as well as Crow Tengu. While the Crows are more famous thanks to Aya, us Wolves are the stronger Tengu, we defend the village, and act as scouts. We defend the mountains. Not to say the crows are weak, they're strong too, and faster than us, of course, individual power varies based on our abilities too. Aya and Momiji are the strongest Tengu, and strongest Crow and Wolf Tengus respectivly. They're pals and rivals." the Wolf explains.

> The wolf tengu leads you to a house, in which you can see another wolf Tengu drinking tea. She has a sheild with a maple leaf on it, and a scimitar on her belt.

> "The night sparrow I heard from Keine about when she visited to tell us of her election and changeing policy. Interesting. So you came here looking for plants? Well, I know the fruit of a certain type of tree can be juiced, and mixed with a couple of other plants to make a glaze, which you put on something while it's cooking to add flavor. The only problem is that this fruit only grows in one area, and it's the area that the Curse Goddess lives in, she's freindly, but being around her tends to bring bad luck if you're around her too long, so most avoid her completely." Momiji says.

>Listen attentively.

> You listen to Momiji explain where, and what, several other nearby plants are that can be used in cooking. Interestingly enough, one she mentions actually grows higher up the mountain, instead of in the forest like all the others she mentioned.

> "Yes, but I'm not sure how any of them go with Lamprey." Momiji says.

> You have three options. You can look for the plant higher up the mountain, you can look for the general plants in the forest Momiji said about, and you can also go to the Grove where the freindly Curse Goddess lives.

> You can do all three, of course, but you can choose only to do some of them. Or just settle to go home and get your usual stuff.

>Let's get the plant higher-up, and then work our way down from there, gathering the plants Momiji mentioned. If we end up in the Curse Goddess' Grove in the doing, oh well.

> You fly higher up the mountain, specifically, to halfway between the Moriya Shrine and the Tengu Village, at the point furthest from the river.

> There is a patch of what seems to be a flower, but what Momiji mentioned were the roots. The plants could be uprooted, have a few roots cut off, and then re-planted without any harm. The ground roots, when cooked a little, make a slightly salty seasoning.

> You collect some roots. You are careful not to take off enough that the plant may be damaged, and, of course, that there is none left for anyone else to take.

> You head down the mountain, back into the forest. You gather several bits of plants, which are far more numerous than the roots in the mountains. Now you know what can be used and what cannot, it's a lot easier.

> Are you going to go to the Grove, or are you going back to your cart now?

> You also see a figure... spinning in the centre.

> "Hello. Not often someone braves the rumors to visit my grove." the Curse Goddess says. She dosen't feel as imposeing as Kanako, or even Suwako did, being around them made you feel... in awe. Kanako more so. The Curse Goddess gives off a feeling that brings curiousity.

> She dosen't stop spinning while talking.
