Inqui placed a finger on her chin in thought.Ocaeril chuckled quietly to himself, as he saw down in a chair, still holding the wine that seemed to depict the events of the ambassy occuring. Looking between both Tiamat and Inqui, he grinned. "Oh, of course, of course. I created Chakra mainly as a way to ensure magic is safer and open to everyone, while still allowing got physical activity. Now, it's a serious contender for the Winds themselves. Currently, however..."
Ocaeril looked at his cup once more, smiling, before showing it to both Inqui and Tiamat. "I am currently seeing my chosen work out a treaty for peace with Zhailving, the Empire, and the Jade Empire. Things are going relatively well...But the others are quite arrogant, I must say. Although, I don't blame their skepticism. Perhaps I ought to make an appearance..."
Ocaeril then had an idea. "Mother, Inqui, I have an idea. Why don't you help me with this endeavor? I'll allow worship, and for you both to meddle with the affairs if the treaty is made, and work alongside me. For now, I would like you two to help me to ensure this treaty goes the right way."
"Although I indeed want the treaty go the right way, I'm afraid I do not want to meddle too much in it, mostly because I don't know what to do, and because I feel like meddling would be out of my jurisdiction, apologies Ocaeril"
Inqui explained herself before fidgeting in shame and guilt at not being able to help her love out.
Ocaeril then nudged to Tiamat.
"Could you perhaps birth ideas in their minds about the treaty? Ideas that are genuine, and would show the good this would do, politically, military, economically, and so on. As well as make them calmer and less arrogant. The children of my champion have quite the bite with words...You could also summon creatures that would act great as pets and combat creatures, while allowing for development like me. Inqui, this treaty would also make sure your Incarnates would grow stronger and in a environment of peace. What do you both say?"
Meanwhile, at Konoha...
At Merle's response, Tuldor clapped his hands in joy. "Why, that is a great deal, I just say! We possess seals that use Space Time Ninjutsu, although so far, they are only useful for short teleportation. With your support and research, we could create the safest trading routes possible, as well as teach one another ways of Chakra and magic, while keeping our people happy with cultural exchanges from each of our lands. This is a treaty meant to keep the people happy, as well!"
Indra smiled, nodding to his father's words. "Ah, certainly, the possibilities for growth are many. Our combined power would be great, no doubt. Principally with the help of our gods. Our knowledge should certainly reach new heights, as well."
Merle smiles "that is wonderful! Because so far our teleportation is only either one-person only or needs a complex array of runes that needs constant reinforcement, hopefully if we can incorporate your Chakra and Space-Time Ninjutsu, we may be able to forumulate a prototype that is able to teleport large amounts of cargo, anyways the culture is...well to be fair, it is a bit orthodox to Camelotians, but.." Merle tapped their finger as they sent a message to their mother.
Merle:Culture Exchange. Should do?
Tanya: Details
Merle then continued on without a beat "say what would this culture exchange entail? Would it tie in with us teach each other our magical arts? As in you'll send in a veteran and we'll send you one too? I would like to know all the details for my report to Lady Tanya when I get back, but otherwise, so far it seems this deal is quite acceptable!"
Merle smiled as they closed their eyes, they could hear the conversation between the ambassadors and looked at Tuldor and gave him a look that told him that the Ambassadors were planning osmething.________________________________________________________________________________________________

The jade ambassador was clearly hesitant.
"I-I am... no royal guard, and while my initial task here may have been to prevent nekomatus from gaining even more power, this negotiation has peaked my interest and such childish activities would only serve to distract from the purpose of- this, uh... meeting... Excuse me a moment."
The Jade ambassador took a few large steps away from the Kohonians, joining his fellow ambassadors, with the exception of Merle, who at this time, was speaking with Tuldor. Given his preoccupation, he could not hear the group.
"We have seen much that interests us, p-please allow us to discuss a matter privately."
They huddle up.
"I'm sorry but can any of you hear that?"
The Imperial immediately answers, sweating considerably.
"Yes! I thought I was crazy! What is going on!?"
The Zhailving ambassador interjects.
"I have no clue, I've been hearing voices in my head this whole time saying this is a great deal! I mean it sounds like a good deal on it's own, allying with an island of sorcerers and all, but really, this is freaking me out. And now it's talking like my mother!"
The Imperial rapidly nods and responds.
"Really? it was telling me to leave and that I should be angry at these people! But then just now, I get this idea in my head that ain't mine, gossip and would my mom want that? It's weird! And look at Tuldor, anything seem off about him? Man just seems like a natural leader, like we should listen to him and follow him until the end. Had I not spoken to him I'd think him royalty! What is happening?"
The Zhailving ambassador scratches his chin for a moment.
"Maybe he's telling the truth? Maybe he really is a prophet?"
The jade ambassador cuts back in.
"Or, perhaps this sorcerer is simply trying to bend our will to his own. He doesn't strike me as a madman, but a ruler in the making. I do not sense deceit, and that is what worries me. This man can link two points in space with such little effort, who is to say he cannot put on some false glamour and plant thoughts into our minds."
The imperial pulls out a dagger.
"I say we put a stop to this right here! Right no-"
The jade ambassador grabs his hand and holds it still.
"Do not be a fool, none of us can hope to face these mages in battle, I see that now and realize I was sent on a fool's errand. Perhaps it best if we play along, surely his influence will not last once we leave this place."
The imperial responded,
"Agreed. Should we let the Camelot ambassador in on this plan?"
The Zhailving ambassador shook his head and spoke.
"Agreed, and no way, camelot has been the enemy of both our nations for so long they'd sell us out of pure spite."
"Alright, follow my lead."
The jade ambassador turns to face Tuldor, tapping him on the shoulder to get his attention.
"I have spoken to my fellow ambassadors and, needless to say we are all... *ahem*... Thoroughly impressed with your island. However, we will need to speak with our respective leadership before any treaty with your people is finalized, bureacracy and all... Is there... anything else you required of us before we depart?"
The ambassadors, aside from Merle, were clearly anxious.
Merle nodded in gratitude and grabbed the summoning scrolls.Dai Lee seemed a bit disappointed that he refused his offer, but nodded respectfully. "I see, that is understandable. You still have YOUTH within you, child, so, make sure you grow well and strong! And if you consider our deal, I wish we can fight someday, not as a way to prove ourselves, but as allies!" Dai Lee seemed honest enough. He was...A really old man, though. Anyone at his age would likely be dead or in a wheelchair. But he still seemed to be going on despite all.
Thank God he didn't call him a old guy. With how this guy talks about youth...
This of course happened while Tuldor was talking to Merle, and was in the process of shaking hands with him, not noticing the ambassadors talking with one another. Indra and Ashura were looking at them curiously though, Indra's red eyes analyzing them in case they decided to attack.
But soon, that didn't occur, and they came back to him. Tuldor listened carefully, and nodded.
"I have three things I want to ask, in fact," Oh boy, this must be important--
"First off, for the Empire, I heard you're all great farmers...You mind sharing some of your tobbaco with me?"
...Okay, maybe not. Still, his grin was clearly one of someone who's joking, or not? He soon let out a hearty laugh for a old man, before shaking his head.
"Okay, okay, jokes aside, it's two things. First off...If possible, if you ever see any sightings of...Marah Otsutsuki, my wife...Could you...Perhaps let us know? I have reason to believe she is alive and well. I wish to see her one last time before I depart. If you could do that to me, you'd have my thanks and respect."
Indra and Ashura seemed surprised at their father's words, and Dai kept a straight, although more serious face.
"And second off...I wish to give you all a few gifts, for at least coming over. Here, have these."
Tuldor then pulled scrolls from his pocket, and gave them to each ambassador, Merle included.
"These are summoning scrolls. It allows you to summon some of my contacts, the druids of these lands. They are known for using my Sage Mode- The druidic art I used in combat."
To demonstrate, Tuldor infused himself with natural energy in the air, suddenly getting blue tattoos on his face, his eyes and pupils changing shape and color too, before going away.
"If you're ever in the need of something, you can use these to send a message to them. You can also send it to me, if you wish. I am also technically a druid, at the end."
Simply a gift of good faith, in case they wish to relay a message or wish help with something.
"Still, it was good to see you all here. Thank you for considering us." He then bowed respectfully, Indra and Dai doing the same, while Ashura did so reluctantly. "The Tailed Beasts shall accompany you all home, to ensure your safety. Safe travels, my friends."
"I understand your concern Mr. Tuldor, as Lady Tanya was instructed by her benefactor to search for your spouse sir, and while I would take it with a grain of salt, we have been getting unconfirmed reports of a humanoid slime female somewhere in the mountainous regions in the north, but do note they're unconfirmed, I'd thought to share it with you at least so you can have some hope sir"
