"She's right there." Terka said, pointing at Kaori. "Though Terka is wondering how you managed to escape uninjured."

"I was out on my boat fishing when the Nocturnians attacked. By the time I got there the fighting was almost over. All I really did was get you and the girl next to you away from the fight while you were both unconscious," Yerth explained. "What was that about clans before though?"

"Terka is from the Marahi clan." she answered. "There are five clans in our village. Terka's comrade is from the Delora Clan."

"There are supposedly male ninja on other continents." Terka noted. "As for our methods of reproduction, once every year, our clan leaders send those who reached the second decade of their lives that hasn't bore a child on their own yet outside of the village to mate. To keep the clan population under control, we are only sent on this quest once in our lifetime."

"That's completely up to the mother." Terka explained. "Some are fortunate enough to be led out of the village to live normal lives. Others are killed on the spot. Rarely, their mothers are even known to attempt to blend their sons into their clans. Though this is usually unsuccessful when they discover the child's true sex."
