I hope your investigations about the killer Oni are doing well. - says the Khan with a piercing gaze.- Welcome Akahita-san. And welcome to you Nezumi-san. - says the Khan with respect. - I've fought with many of your kind at Oblivion's Gate. They were heroes. May ask you from which tribe are you? -- Ryosei-san! I'll never complain anymore about age visiting me, if that means it is forgetting about you. I'm glad the Fox is attending. -- Akira-san, you are indeed right. Peace is to be kept until the Empire's enemy become manifest. -The Khan rises an eyebrow seeing the stranger lady. - I thought an imperial decree was needed for gaijin to enter Otosan Uchi - a sharp look towards the Lion's Champion. - but You are welcome anyway. I am Moto Gaheris, Khan of the Unicorn clan, the children of the WInd. -"Isn't the Crab going to send a representative? Very strange. May there be troubles on the Wall? The Dragon is missing too. But Akodo's letter said everyone was invited. We'll see..." thinks Tadaji, observing the meeting. Then a servant brings him a rose letter for the Khan. He examines it and he's rather perplexed when he cannot recognize the seal. He hands it to Gaheris, who opens it absent-mindedly... then a shiver runs along his spine. With mounting rage in his heart and blood injected eyes the Khan turns towards Toshiro Akodo... and in that precise moment the Lion's Champion makes his revelation.________________________________________The Khan rises and with an energy unsuspected in a man his age, he speaks.- I can't believe what I just heard.Not only you tell us that the Lion Clan, who has the duty to defend the Emperor failed not only once, but five times.Not only you say that you are so honorless to survive such a failure.No, you tell us that we are so weak and resourceless that we shouldn't even try to rescue Toturi's children, no, we should forget all our loyalty bonds and go on, make ourselves at ease and rule the Empire in their place.Well I say no!!!-Gaheris knocks his fist on the table, with such a strenght to leave marks on it. - I won't stand still as cowardice takes over the Empire, behind a frail mask of wisdom. Toturi himself was tainted, but he still had your ancestors' loyalty, if they were your ancestors at all! I don't know anything about this threat, but Shadowlands or not, I will employ every Unicorn resource to find them, and if they only harmed one of the heirs, slaughter them to the last man, goblin or oni!In Rokugan History no force ever stood against the might of the Clans united; yet you tell us to give up because you think we won't be able to recover them from the taint?Well, I suggest you to leave, Toshiro, because you don't deserve to stay in sight of that throne, you don't deserve the name Akodo, and you don't deserve even to stain my sword! -</blockquote>
