[QUOTE="Ghostknight, post: 1634588, member: 15338"] [CENTER][B]Zokiro[/B] [/CENTER] The Daimyo sits at his desk. Leaning forward he takes the straw, stares at it, and returns it to you. He stands and goes to a cabinet. Opening it, you hear him saying soemthing you can't quite catch as he does, he removes a large laquered box, decorated with scenes from the history of the Dragon clan. He opens it and removes from within a single scroll and a banner. "Zoriko, you will bear this banner on your travels. Onto the scroll will be written your name. For many years ago the Dragon were told this day would come. Go prepare yourself, for your conduct will affect our standing within the Empire." [CENTER][B]Shokai[/B][/CENTER] "Shokai, you have seen the messenger?" The voice behind you is that of the master Tattooer. "Undoubtedly, he has been and you have been shown the peril of the world. Many moons ago this was foretold. We did not know it would be you, but perhaps this is the fate that will be written into your flesh. When the messenger returns, you are expected to go with him. We do not know why you were chosen, for there are many more knowledgable and trained than you that would have desired this honor. Go and do what must be done. Remember, the stone in the water is worn down, but the leaf floats." Behind you you hear something being placed on the ground followed by receding footsteps. [CENTER][B]Iegara[/B][/CENTER] Your uncle turns, consternation on his face. "Why now? The time is not right, but our family has known that the day would come when one would be summoned to save the Empire. Come" Turning he goes and enters the house, heading for the room in which no one but he ever enters. Pausing at the door, he removes a medallion from beneath the many layers of his clothing. He whispers something as he touches forehead with it, before opening the doors and entering, gesturing for you to follow. "In three days time you will leave here Iegara, and to where you will go, none know. Take this, it will remind you of your duty to the Empire." He removes from a cupboard a masterfully worked dagger, the hilt worked into the crest of the Empire. He places it into your hand before ushering you out the room. [CENTER][B]Amanu[/B] [/CENTER] The Great Shaman turns to you. "You have been chosen for a great task. There is a legend that says the Shadow is contained by one man. It is said that when that man is ready to die he will summon the thirteen eroes who will find the One to replace him, to keep the Shadow forever imprisoned." "So, let us sing and dance in your honor. Tomorrow is time enough for the serious business of you readying for your journey!" [CENTER][B]Akata[/B][/CENTER] The knock on your door is Yasushi. Sliding the door open he enters. "I was intrigued by our guest - especially his dissapearing trick there at the end. His horse is in the stables and is really a most remarkable beast! But I went to the Master of the records and asked for his assistance. It appears that this is not that unexpected. A long time in coming though. It seems that many years ago the Masters here were told that one of us would be summoned to serve the Empire in a manner unknown at that time. It appears that the person is you.' Looking at you he withdraws a gold straw, similar to the one you bear.
