On Saturday, six members of the Jungle Tribe gathered at Morpheus Idol to celebrate the return of two of their favorite sisters. They were joined by many friends, including MysticEmerald Mage, MysticCaelum Mage and MysticGarnet Mage. It was a very enjoyable party.

The six natives present were es foadme ixix irshay (shaman bird friend), es hiect euld (black star), es clibiour ansfotee (mystical huntress), es ermeer cioud aeg (hunter night sky), es scrotiche couinful avee (storyteller peaceful lily), and es scrotiche euviess eyesa (storyteller spirits voice).

What follows is an edited transcript of the stories that were told. MysticCaelum Mage was kind enough to translate the native words into English (you can download the translation program at by clicking on the Town Crier). I edited out everything that was spoken by someone other than a member of the Tribe, and provided only the English version of the first story, to make it easier to read. Unfortunately, es scrotiche couinful avee (storyteller peaceful lily) was taken away by the evil Crash Monster before she could tell her story, and did not return. The Mages assured us that she would return safely.

es foadme ixix irshay: Two sisters have returned from their long journeys
es foadme ixix irshay: black star has come back
es ermeer cioud aeg: welcome back black star!!!
es foadme ixix irshay: and my best sister peaceful lily!
es clibiour ansfotee: lily, welcome
es hiect euld: welcome back peaceful lily
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: welcome back to my sisters!
es ermeer cioud aeg: welcome back peaceful lily!
es foadme ixix irshay: they will tell the story of what they have done
es foadme ixix irshay: black star will begin
es scrotiche couinful avee: i am happy to be back among my tribe
es hiect euld: i have missed you all.
es clibiour ansfotee: we have missed you also
es hiect euld: shall i begin my story shaman?
es clibiour ansfotee: yes, story time
es foadme ixix irshay: it is your time
es clibiour ansfotee: i like story time

es hiect euld: this is the story of my long journey
es foadme ixix irshay: we do not need shields now
es hiect euld: my spirit guide told me in a dream that i must go on a journey.
es clibiour ansfotee: thank you
es hiect euld: a journey to find new knowledge in the fight against evil spirits.
es scrotiche couinful avee: thank you
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: thank you!
es hiect euld: thank you
es hiect euld: i was told to leave right away, and not say goodbye to anyone.
es hiect euld: as soon as i woke up, i left for the deepest, oldest part of the jungle.
es hiect euld: i had never been in this part of the jungle before.
es hiect euld: it is a dark scary place!
es hiect euld: near the old mountain there was a large stone.
es foadme ixix irshay: i know this stone
es hiect euld: it glowed with a dark light.
es hiect euld: i was scared, yet i had to walk over and touch it.
es hiect euld: i pushed it away, and behind it i saw an opening to a cavern.
es hiect euld: there was a wind blowing from inside.
es hiect euld: and i could hear it whisper. "come to me tribe healer."
es hiect euld: the cavern was dark and damp.
es hiect euld: i went inside even though i was very afraid.
es hiect euld: i walked closer to the scary voice,
es hiect euld: i saw eyes shining in the dark.
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: evil spirits shaman?
es foadme ixix irshay: evil spirits take mystical huntress
es scrotiche couinful avee: sister you have your poker still?
es foadme ixix irshay: go away bad spirits!
es hiect euld: bad spirits!! return our sister now!!
es foadme ixix irshay: i think she is gone, continue black star
es hiect euld: shall i continue shaman?
es hiect euld: i shall continue
es hiect euld: i saw eyes shining in the dark.
es scrotiche couinful avee: to watch over her spirit
es hiect euld: they were glowing like the sun.!
es foadme ixix irshay: oh my
es hiect euld: i was afraid!!
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: robed one spinning!
es ermeer cioud aeg: he he
es scrotiche couinful avee: they took the fire that guards this place
es scrotiche couinful avee: the evil ones can take us also if they can take the fire
es scrotiche couinful avee: i wish to hear more of the story
es hiect euld: yes we would.
es scrotiche couinful avee: tell the story dark star
es hiect euld: continuing
es ermeer cioud aeg: yes more story
es hiect euld: i was going to run.
es hiect euld: as i turned to leave i heard a voice say.
es hiect euld: "do not fear me black star.
es hiect euld: for i am here to guide you to the knowledge you will need."
es hiect euld: it was then, that i remembered. i had seen those eyes before.
es hiect euld: my heart was lifted and i was no longer afraid.
es hiect euld: i had found him! my spirit guide.
es ermeer cioud aeg: wow
es hiect euld: black cat!
es foadme ixix irshay: it is good to not be afraid
es hiect euld: i listened carefully to his message.
es hiect euld: he said. "you must remember that dark spirits are not good or bad.
es hiect euld: but they are needed for a balance.
es hiect euld: the time is drawing near,
es hiect euld: when the tribe must fight the evil spirits
es hiect euld: that are traveling to the jungle.
es foadme ixix irshay: we can fight the evil spirits!
es hiect euld: only a balance of the light and the dark
es hiect euld: can defeat them and heal the tribe.
es hiect euld: then he disappeared!
es hiect euld: i wandered through the caverns alone for many moons.
es hiect euld: until my sisters found me and brought me back home.
es foadme ixix irshay: they were very glad to find you!
es hiect euld: yes i have missed you all
es hiect euld: your healer has returned.
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: we have missed you as well
es scrotiche couinful avee: yes now we can drink the slow ones beer again
es foadme ixix irshay: we did not have a healer and many were sick
es foadme ixix irshay: if you are sick, mages
es foadme ixix irshay: find black star
es foadme ixix irshay: many friends here today
es hiect euld: thank you for helping with our words
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: bye bye friend mage!!
es foadme ixix irshay: we must chant
es ermeer cioud aeg: thank you {garnet}
es foadme ixix irshay: peaceful lily must come back!
es foadme ixix irshay: she has a story to tell!
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: did the evil spirits take her too?
es foadme ixix irshay: i think so
es hiect euld: they are everywhere today
es foadme ixix irshay: spirits bring back my sister!!!
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: yes we need much magic to make them leave
es scrotiche euviess eyesa: maybe play tricks on our friends the mage?

es ermeer cioud aeg: he he

es scrotiche euviess eyesa: hide the beer?
es foadme ixix irshay: sister peaceful lily may not come back
es ermeer cioud aeg: oh no
es foadme ixix irshay: she has a story to tell
es foadme ixix irshay: an important story
es hiect euld: maybe her spirit guide took her away for another journey?
es ermeer cioud aeg: the evil spirits did not want her story told?
es foadme ixix irshay: we will hear the story another time

Then es scrotiche euviess eyesa (the story teller) placed a file in the center of our circle, and told a story. I've left the native text in, just so that you can get an idea of how it looks. It is a fascinating language!
