Once the fire of rebellion has been lit, no amount of water can put it out…

In Kairi’s land he uses brutal means to keep the community leaders under his thumb. Unbeknownst to Kairi, people are unhappy with the order of things and they mean to do something about it.
Can these two new civilisations find a footing? Or will treachery once again destroy the lives of the descendants of Mu?
