[QUOTE="Sollir Furryfoot, post: 345607, member: 748"] [color=red][b]Prologue, Part 2[/b][/color] [b][/b] The twisted smile gracing Daigotsu's lips grows wider as he sees Kyoso's torment-her desire of killing him barely restrained by the barrier that he had cast. Gaze drawn downward, he speaks softly-barely above a whisper, "My dear Kyoso, where are your manners? Surely you must have learned something in Jigoku, is this how you greet a friend?" At this, Kyoso tries once more to break past the barrier, failing...for the moment. The Lord of the Shadowlands reaches up to his mask, carefully taking it off while staring directly into the eyes of the raging Kyoso no Oni, "Let us stop this petty conflict, there are more important matters at hand." [color=yellow]"Petty? You call my anger at being locked in Jigoku while my spawn run on the surface of Rokugan petty?
