[QUOTE="Macbrea, post: 344495, member: 1517"] Bayushi Nori looks up from his go game as there is a knock at the door. A young samurai no more then 12 years of age opens the door. He bows and says, "Lion clan has sent a messenger, who awaits outside." Bayushi Nori looks back down at the board and moves a piece, "Very well, send him in." Bayushi Nori watches the young scorpion leave and the Lion clan courtier enter. "Good morning Matsu-san, I take it you bring a message from you lord." "Hai", the Lion hands the letter to Bayushi Nori. "It appears the Emperor has died and your Diamyo wishes for Scorpion clan to appear in court. What would you suggest young Matsu that Scorpion should do?" Startled at being asked by a clan leader what a clan should do, "I would probably goto the court and see what is going on, and find out who should be the new Emperor." Nori nods, "Hai, that would be what Lion would do. But, Scorpion shall not go to find out who should be Emperor. Take this note to your lord." Bayushi pulls out a piece of paper and quickly scribes down the following. ----- Darkness stands awake --- Crimson lands always loyal ------ Dove to winter's court With that he hands it to the young Lion clan courtier. Who bows and leaves. Nori looks at his advisor and comments, "Have the young Niomi ready by morning." Shosi Kamnan nods and moves his piece. [/QUOTE]
