So Crotona really wanted to push for the efforts of the three clans coming together. She had seen what the Mazoku were doing in their reckless attacks, but she was also aware that many Dragon and Warrior Caste members didn't have a fair opinion on the clan. She had heard there was still no Guru on Namek who could unite the planet. Guess she was going to have to look around to try to someone to fill that roll. If not hopefully she could at least find someone to talk to in order to help with the clan's issues. You know explain the situation so they could come up with a solution to the problem. Afterall, the planet needed to be united. She remembered when Phakk and Ward had attacked. Back then they all stood together to defend the Mazoku.
But things had changed. Erebos was off world and Tiamat was long gone. So of all the 'strong' warriors she was the only one left. Maybe Nero and Pankaa had grown stronger but they would need more then that to keep Namek safe Escpailly if people like that returned. So he wanted to make sure the planet was safe so the best way to stop the small conflict that divided them. They needed to be focused on the people across in space that could come to the planet seeing the in fighting as a chance to attack and conquer the planet. No, Crotona was not going to let something like that occur.

Dend Capital, the one true neutral ground on a land marked with three unique but particular castes, Warrior, Dragon and Mazoku all together for a common goal. Though a popular hub of trade it still remains clear to one's eye that Namekian culture remain alive and thriving. Crisp white buildings shaped like organic materials littered with white spikes and bulbous sea blue windows captured perfectly over a triad system of three suns cast in perpetual light on the eternally green day. To the foreigner this might all seem a little strange, but to the hundreds of green bodies all marching hither and fro around, not one thing was out of place. Simplicity and calm, it was here that one's differences mattered less as a Namekian and it was this detail that brought so many species together here at large.
Certainly Harp could hope so at least, one could long find one's self free to express themselves here to do a relative mutualism. Trade being one such facet of a greater encompassing network of reasons which seemed to bring people to harmony, it was an attractive concept for many, and so it was to Harp especially. Oh how he could barely hear his footsteps, one among many, Namekian, Alien and other, it didn't make much a difference in the end. The bustling sound a collective not unlike the flutter of a million birds or the bombardment of steel and gunpowder in warfare; beautiful in a way that required a unique sense of appreciation for the unified chaos. And perhaps it never should, or have needed to in the first place. "Well, perhaps that's a little bold of I to say" thought Harp, regardless it was a fun to entertain the idea in his head. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.
A world of maybe and someday, today was always the best start of every new adventure and it gave him a warm feeling inside to think that something new could pierce beyond the surface of all the yesterdays and carve one's fate into the eternal stone of legacy. Everybody Harp brushed past was another soul, another existence with their own personal stakes and dreams, their own desires and goals, certainly some of these were amongst their lovers, friends and. . . enemies. A nasty grin grew on the Namekian's face as he thought to himself for a brief moment. All such people he would never know, but perhaps there would be some he could familiarize towards.
And so, Harp began to reflect to himself. Staring at a band of alien merchants from afar, playing all what seemed to be wind instruments of which at the center was an ocarina. "Curious" he thought.
Crotona kept walking around and didn't see anything that stood out really. No strong warriors or anyone that she could talk to about her concerns. However, that was when her ki sense pinged. She was not really good at sensing ki but she had learned enough when a large power level stood out she would feel it. She shrugged, she might as well check on who this guy was and see what was he was doing. He seemed pretty strong and maybe someone she could help out in getting much stronger. Crotona would head over to where Harp was and glance at him observing the Ocarina at the shop he was at. "What you looking at." She would lean forward as she glanced deeply at the ocarina.
It seemed to be of fine craftsmanship. But it was not a Konatsian Ocarina. Not that there was much difference but her's people's had magical abilities. She was not sure if that would be the case for this Ocarina. "You play music?" She was going to assume that was why he was looking at it unless Namekians also could use the ocarina to play magic. That would be pretty cool if that was the case. It shows the connection in magical abilities between the two people and maybe she could give some pointers from her own people to help the Namekian's out to make their magic even more powerful. Or maybe they could do the same for her and make her magic even better.

Whatsoever the time or weather, trade had a way of creating an interconnected web of individuals whom all came from different walks of life. Creed, clan, class and more all such ties to the identity of self and other seemed to mellow out once the commonality of bartering appeared. And so the cycle went on in the world, the haves and the havesnot, those whom had need for what others possessed. It all came together in a unified whole, encouraging people to venture forth and travel to realms they would not otherwise. Harp could not help but conjure the thought together in his mind. ~Perhaps this is what makes the clans inevitably three, and yet together in some way. Different, and still one. It still surprises me the things the Warrior and Dragon clan possess. . .~ thought Harp.
He'd hum for a moment, evidently caught up in some manner of thought or rhyme. Like a bubble it was bursted and then came reality, facing him with pointed ears and a flock of reddish hair. "Mmmm? Looking at? Well. . . those instruments there, I've never seen it before. And the way they're playing it. . . so smooth on one's ears." He'd tap to his very own pointy and long ears, Namekian hearing permitted one increased ability when it came to the perception of sound and in this way it seemed to naturally enhance Harp's appreciation of music. But such thoughts were otherwise, Harp looked to the Konatisan and shook his head. "I can fight a little, and use some magic. Music however, I am yet skilled with it, I have tried to get better at it however. All things in time I hope, there are a many Namekian instruments. The strangest things to foreign hands, you need limbs that can really stretch and bend to really play them."
After having caught himself amidst his minor rambling he'd shake his head. "In anycase stranger, what of you? Can you play anything?"
Crotona glanced as Harp explained he had never seen the instrument but the music they created was nice. "They are ocarina. My people use them to play music. We entwine magic into our songs for an assortment of effects. I am not that good at it personally but I've known people who been able to do wonderous things with their songs." Crotona glanced as Harp explained his abilities he knew how to fight and had some magic. He was not someone who had music abilities. This namekian seemed to be a pretty nice guy. Thought the skulls on his shoulders did seem a bit odd. She wondered what creature they were? When he asked if she could play any music she would nod before realizing she had not told her name. Guess that might be a good idea. "I am Crotona by the way. I am a Konatsian. My people really love music as well. I assume your people are the same since I've seen that many Namekians had names that seem to relate to instruments."
Crotona rubbed her chin. She wonder if their was a reason they all had the same name of instruments. Did they come from Namek and spread across the universe or was their an archetype of names? Anyone who made a drum just came up with the name drum? Crotona didn't know and she sorta knew it was not that important. But it was always a thought she had about musical instruments.

Harp listened well to the words of Crotona, heeding them with intrigue and consideration. An Ocarina? Could there be more instruments of this nature? It was certain, though a relationship between music and sound? Coming from a species with such an aptitude for hearing and magic Harp was none too surprised. Nonetheless however, it was clear to the Namekian that this such ability was not nearly as harnessed as it could have been. All this conversation couldn't help but make Harp all the more curious, it seemed that travel might be in order, sooner or later. To realms and planets where this such power was known and further learn, although the true extents of Namekian power were a forever exceeeding perimeter. Limits yet known.
"Music and magic used together to create various affects. Mmm. . . . That would be a smarter Namekian for more to do such things, yes." Harp hummed for a moment, reflecting on that note for a good while. Soft machinations began to lull in his mind, rustling like streams that began to clear. Though soon, he returned to reason and his surroundings. "Oh? Hello then Crotona, Konatsian? Mmm. . . the name sounds a little familiar. And that? Well my name is Harp and I've wondered of such things. My was father named Harp, and some time before that. . . one of my ancestors, Harpsichord. I cannot speak for all Namekians, but instruments are very important to my people. We are, like, what people call an orchestra. One alone, we are but a song. But together we are a mighty band, and we can play anything and do anything, together!"
A curt laugh was had for a moment before he reflected to himself. "Well. . . I could show you the instrument I'm named after. . . It's called a Harp-" trailed on in a Namekian tongue. At the end of the pronuciation of Harp were a unique and strange congestion of tongues and rhythms in a high pitched tone. ". . .Mmm. . . well maybe I can play some music, just not very well."
"Well that what I assumed I was not so sure. I cannot really do it anyway so, I was just assuming that maybe your people could since I know some of my people had the ability to do it." Crotona shrugged. Her magic with music was pretty simple but she knew that some could do an assortment of things. Anyway enough about the music. She should focus learning more about Harp himself. Speaking of that he seemed to know a bit about Konatsian's though didn't say that much. "You know any other Konatsians?" She had heard there was another one of her kind somewhere on Namek or at least there had been. If they were still on the planet was an unknown at the current moment.
Harp explained that his family had all been named Harps and his ancestor had been Harpsichord. So it seemed Harp ran in the family. For Namekians it was really important to have that musical theme it seemed. "I am just wondering how we all have the same name for such things. Like we all name the same instrument Harps. But why? It is not as if all our culture existed together as one. Space travel didn't exist for a long time. So is their some some sort of concept that we all grasp towards?" Crotona rubbed her head. "Sorry that is a bit confusing. Do you get what I mean?" She rubbed her head, she had gotten so confused on her own thought she must of come off as quite rude to Harp. At least that what she assumed. Harp seemed to be a pretty connected person with Namekian culture. A pro together stance too! She liked Harp already a lot! When he offered to show her his harp skills she would nod. "Of course show me. That sound fun!"
