Looking at the Samurai, the heavenly couple give a look of compassionate sorrow.

Knowing that they are constrained by Celestial Law, they can only shake their heads sadly and say, "They can not. They will not. And you can never understand, unless they fail."

"Yuki, This Ritual of Seeing is only for the Priests and Monks of Sendai. You may use it for yourself, but you must not give it to any, other than those who's sacred charge it will be to seek out and expose the Rokurokubi."

"This it is for the Honor of Sendai; a reward for standing the longest against the Chinese and being the last to fall."

"It is written that the Emperor’s place is to lead the people in harmony with the will of the Ancestors; the Priest’s place is to interpret the will of the Ancestors; and the Wu-Jen’s duty is to carry out the will of the Ancestors.

"This is our will - That the Priests and Monks of Sendai (both Ancestor Worshippers and Emissaries of the Five Gods) discover the Rokurokubi among Nippon and report back to the High Priest of Sendai. The High Priest of Sendai will in turn, relay this information to Rai Go-Uda, Heir to the Throne of Nippon and Ninja Master of Sendai."


"Understood", Yuki replies with a solemn bow.

Rai bows at his mission and says, "Of course, since my memory returned I have thought much about how to remove and expose the Demons in our midst. Great ansactors do you know where we might find allies other than the priests and wu jen? Also do you have any advice on how to reclaim the Nipponian (Not sure what to use here) throne?

“Those you could trust, once the existence of the Rokurokubi is proven, would be Daimyo Noriko Inari of the Dewa Province, and your own Mutsu Province Magistrates: Chief Magistrate Hie Yama-Uno of Sendai; Magistrate Mikio Amori of the city of Morioka; and Magistrate Rai Higoshi of the City of Hirosaki.”

“One you could trust even before then would be Second Magistrate Juro Saito of Sendai. And of course the Priests and Monks of Sendai – most notably High-Priest Midori Onishi, the High-Priest of Sendai’s Temple of The Five Gods.”

“Do not trust Grand Premier Kenji Nogachi, the Wu-Jen of Sendai and Advisor to the Daimyo – as he keeps the Daimyo’s secret and is in league with the Rokurokubi.”

“Those who would not follow you, but would follow Daimyo Noriko Inari of the Dewa Province, once Daimyo Shinsen Hasekura is exposed, are General Kaori Meji of Sendai’s Army; Master Overseer Kaito Nakamura, Chief Instructor of Sendai’s School of Martial Combat; Headmistress Kimi Otaka, Headmistress of Sendai’s Horsemanship and Mounted Combat School; and Headmistress Akiko Shirahata, Headmistress of Sendai’s Zen Archery School.”

“Once these back you, the rest of the Noble Houses of Sendai will follow. With Mutsu and Dewa Provinces on your side, it will provide a united front against the Chinese.”

Roka, seeing that his group has no more questions, bows to the ancestors.

"Ancestors, we thank you for gracing us with your presence. The honor you bestowed upon us will not be wasted. We shall rebuild Sendai, and if, heaven forbid, the naga fail, we will destroy Yukinawa ourselves."

The Patriarch and Matriarch smile – "Good then," they reply to Roka.

Then in general, they state, "Your time here draws short."

"Have any of you more to ask of us while you yet tarry?"

“Yunikawa’s weakness is the lust for power that lead him down forbidden paths and brought the whispering madness of Massaki Dai-Oni into his ear.” The Matriarch and Patriarch answer; “from across the abyss of unconscious thought, the Father of Demons has promised Yunikawa great and marvelous things – but all these are lies and manipulations.”

“Should the Naga fail to stop Yunikawa, then this poison will spread to you through the lines of attunement that you share. Your will must be stronger than that of Massaki Dai-Oni… or you too will become his.”

Then answering Rai’s question - “There may be, in Creation, some things that can be of service in this regard - - - “ they begin, but stop short with a sudden shocked look on their faces.

“Yunikawa has moved against the Naga,” the Patriarch says to the Matriarch.

“He has chosen to preempt the inevitable,” the Matriarch say to the Patriarch.

“A bold gambit,” the Patriarch continues.

“Interesting…” they both say, once more in perfect unison…

“Child,” the ancestors answer Udo, “that is not our place.”

“It is divinely decreed the sacred duty of the Naga, to directly fight against the demons and Oni that threaten mankind. And we as the Ancestors of mankind are beneath the Naga in the Celestial Order (as are all Spirits).”

“But we are graced with the honor of choosing the Wu-Jen, Priests, and Shaman of the living world and giving them power to stand for themselves.”

Rai thinking Interesting is not a good thing in this connotation he says, "Ancestors the artifacts and weapons?"       

“Yes, Rai,” they reply, “there are many still hidden in the lands; and if you continue to act honorably, we will see that fate guides you to them.”

At this point, the Ki-Rin mounts that had brought the Samurai, trotted forward and began to nuzzle at the Samurai - indicating that the time had come for them to leave.

"Before you go," the heavenly parents spoke, "The Blessing of the Ancestors upon you."

The Patriarch and Matriarch each raised a hand and a golden ethereal corona - almost like a radiating halo - appeared over each of the Samurai's head. A wash of glorious power followed (and for Roka, a cleansing of his 'sins' as well).

"You may now rebuke Demons and Oni in our name," the Patriarch and Matriarch say, "as long as you do nothing to incur our disapproval," they add, seeming to direct that little bit to Roka with a knowing glance.

Yuki says with a bow.

"We will not fail Nippon, or your expectations."

She finishes, mounting her Ki-Rin.

Leaving the Celestial Abode of the Ancestors on the backs of their Ki-Rin mounts, the Samurai of Sendai began their journey back down to the Physical World.

They had done what few before them had ever even dared to imagine – visiting the Ancestral Palace in their mortal forms and being well received and blessed in the process. They felt good, having kept their word to little Kioko and ensuring that she would eventually be returned home and find her mother again.

Yet, at the same time, there was a sense of unease and foreboding at what lie ahead; with Yunikawa’s apparent betrayal; the mystery of the Naga Book of Secrets; and the Heavenly Treaty that bound the Ancestors from speaking directly concerning it. Thoughts of these things weighed heavily upon the Samurai in the long hours of flight back to the realm of the living.

The night then passed and the sun rose the next morning, just as the Ki-Rin broke from the Spirit World and alighted with a dazzling shower of magical sparks in the seclusion of the foothills just north of Sendai. After the Samurai had dismounted, the Ki-Rin all trotted together in a group and bowed down collectively to the Samurai on their fore-knees. The thought then entered everyone’s mind that the Ki-Rin had been honored to serve in this important mission and would again be there for the Samurai should they stand in need – ‘just be sure to remember the delicious apples’.

With that, the Ki-Rin reared up majestically and galloped back into the sky, disappearing shortly after in a wink of fiery light.

10th Day of Mid Summer 1303
Yunikawa’s Betrayal


Walking down from the foothills, the Samurai came to a high overlook, offering a panoramic view of the valley where their grand city lay, to see for themselves the destruction that had befallen their home.

It was astounding.

Nearly the entire city was in ruin and great craters, some nearly two hundred feet across, pockmarking the landscape. Where stone buildings had once stood, there was now only broken shells and large piles of rubble – and of those buildings that had been made of wood, only cinders remained.

Even the roads were broken up, and the trees – those beautiful and magnificent trees that had lined the way and given cooling shade to the people of the city – they now stood broken and scorched.

But Sendai was not dead. Even now, there was a bustle of activity from her people – clearing the rubble and gathering together supplies and equipment for the city’s reconstruction. And to the center of Sendai, a great bamboo scaffolding could be seen, being set around the foundation of the ancestral palace of the Daimyo, where workers would soon begin to set new stone.

Sendai would survive, rise from the ashes, and flourish once again.

And, as if to underscore this sentiment, a lone and great building stood visible on the hill of the temple district – it was Sendai’s Temple of the Ancestors – miraculously untouched by the devastation that lay around her…

As Yuki takes in everything, the words of the Ancestors repeat quietly in her mind - “Return to Sendai and help to rebuild it. Return to the Temple of the Ancestors in Sendai and reveal to the New Exalted Patriarch the threat of the Rokurukubi. Return to the Village of Kurokawa and set right the mischief that you have inadvertently released there. Then wait for Yunikawa’s downfall at the hand of the Naga.”

“And should the Naga fail; it will then be up to you to stop your elder brother – but you cannot hope to succeed, until after you gain a knowledge of what he means to do.”

Seeing the devastation of Sendi angered Rai but he knew now wasn't the time for anger. Now was the time for action. Looking at the other members he says, "I know we all want to go into town right now and help. However, we have a more important mission to accomplish. Let us hurry to the temple of the ancestors." As Rai moves to go.

Roka visibly shudders, pained to see his city in this state. Not only his city, but his dojo, and everything he worked for. But now is not the time to mourn. Every wasted second gives Yukinawa an edge.

"Agreed. We must visit the temple." Roka states, as he begins the trek there.

Miya looked down at Sendai and began to silently cry as it reminded her of that horrible nightmare where her childhood ended. But as she looked again the rebuilding of the city gave her hope...
 Hope for the future and herself that one day things will be set right again, if that means defeating Yunikawa then so be it.

"Come on Yuki, let's get going before they leave us behind." She motions for her friend to follow.

Yuki looks at Miya then shakes her head.

"The city of Sendai needs all the help it can get right now. The rest of you should help with the cleanup, while I head to the Temple and speak with the New Exalted Patriarch."

She then looks towards then city and sighs.

"So much destruction... Not only did we assist Yunikawa with his plans, but the Daiymo we swore to serve and protect has been an Oni under the control of the Chinese. We've been acting like fools since we became samurai, helping the enemies we swore to defeat, and failing to protect our beloved city. Perhaps it is just our fate to help with the fall of Nippon..."

Yuki proclaims ominously.

"Well, luckily I have the power to alter fate, ehehe."

She says with a smile. Yuki then summons an air elemental and orders it to bring her to the Temple of the Ancestors, then to help clean up the debris in the city.

"Make sure to meet with my mother and tell her what we know, Miya!"

"Roka, are you sure we should leave Yuki alone? These are... Uncertain times..." Udo states, gazing at his destroyed homes. It's not like anybody he was especially close to was killed, as he wasn't very acquainted with anyone but his team, yet Sendai is his home, and it terrifies him that something could have ravaged it so horribly.
"We can't be sure if Yunikawa's demons are out and about or not."

Roka turns to Udo.
"No, we should not split up. Yuki's visit with the Priesys should not take time, and we could gather information from somewhere there." Roka states.

On the way to Sendai, he'll order someone he sees to bring Yone Ishida to the temple of the ancestors of she is still in Sendai.

As the four Samurai made their way into the valley and approached the walls of Sendai, they noticed that it caused a small stir. People started to gather around them and in a matter of moments, a large delegation of Sendai’s Samurai – nearly fifty in number – were riding out to meet them.

The delegation of Samurai were composed of nearly all the remaining Samurai in Sendai and represented most of Sendai’s Noble Houses.

The leader was none other than Kado Hasekura – a Retired Samurai (of some years) and first cousin to the Daimyo Shinsen Hasakura. Noticeably absent from the delegation, were any of Sendai’s Officials. No Chief Magistrate, no Second Magistrate, none of the Officers of Sendai’s Army, no Yoriki. It was just a bunch of the Nobles – bureaucrats mostly – and their Samurai Caste retinues.

Still, they represented a massive amount of political clout; and for most, their word was absolute law.

“Traitors!” Kado Hasekura yelled, pointing a trebling finger at the Rai, Roka, Udo, and Miya accusingly.

“You are the ones in league with the monster Yunikawa and his demons!”

“You brought the ‘bones of the damned’ into Sendai and helped to cause our destruction!”

“Your absence in Sendai’s gravest hour of need proves your guilt!”

With each accusation laid, the four Samurai could see the expressions of the gathered Samurai harden. Kado Hasekura was riling up a mob…

Rai focusing his energy (Surge) to hide what his doing casts Read mind on Kado Hasekure. Proceeding to cast Send thoughts to Roka he says, "Remind them that we were on the mission for the Exalted Patriarch. That by calling them the dammed they are spitting on the face of the warriors who fought to last for Sendi."

Rai just stares at the crowd with a hardened expression.

Roka almost breaks a smile when Rai mind messages him.
"Rai, I know this crowd. Do not feel the need to instruct me in controlling them. I've been doing it since I was a child." He sends back, and then turns dark red from fury.

"Fool! Do not dare insult our ancestors! I care not that you slander me and my fellows, but never insult our ancestors!" Roka righteously throws back, effectively intimidating the whole crowd. The simple rule to breaking these things. First scare them, then make them on your side.

"And slander it is! For we have now become an gents of the ancestors, Warriors deemed proper enough to fight for vengeance for our beloved! We have returned from the ancestral palace to destroy Yukinawa, not Sendai!" Roka shouts out, flawlessly (flawless decorum)

"You all know me, and know that I would have nothing to do with this evil." Roka says, scanning the crowd for his minion, Ichiro Miyizaki, the samurai.

"Ichiro, my brother! You know I could have nothing to do with this. Kado Gensai! Ayame Ko! [insert every minion Roka has thats a noble (more then half, I think.)] You ALL know I and my allies would have nothing to do with this! Desist from this folly and remind my brothers and sisters who we are, and what we would never do. And togheter, all of us, we shall destroy Yukinawa and return the splendor to Sendai!" Roka shouts, heroically shouting, finishing off his speech with a removal of intimidation on any of those who are with him.

Roka almost breaks a smile when Rai mind messages him.
"Rai, I know this crowd. Do not feel the need to instruct me in controlling them. I've been doing it since I was a child." He sends back, and then turns dark red from fury.

Impressed by Roka's words but not overly so Rai says in the mind, "Not doubting your ability but I thought since they likely saw the Exalted Patriarch sacrifice himself to stop the portal saying the mission to the bones came from him might help."

Some of the Samurai ride forward and turn to interpose themselves between the larger group and Roka. Among them was Roka’s friend Kado Gensai (though none of his other minions seemed to be present).

“Roka-San is right,” one of the Senior Noblemen said, “the plan to bring back the bones was approved by the Exalted Patriarch of Sendai’s Temple of the Ancestors. It is the wrong words to call them ‘damned’.”

A murmur of agreement then goes up among the Nobles and everyone can see the wind go right out of Kado Hasekura’s sails.

“That is not what I meant!” Kado Hasekura growls, highly irritated at the sudden loss of Face – but rather than risk further embarrassment , he turns his horse away – followed by his more loyal supporters.

Rai meanwhile, gets hate-filled thoughts from the man, indicating a current desire to see the mob riled against Roka and Rai particularly for some reason. Unfortunately for him, Roka’s rebuke completely dashed those plans.

The majority of the Samurai then disperse, leaving the smaller group (and Roka’s friend Kado Gensai). Their Leader, the Nobleman that spoke to Roka’s defense speaks to the four Samurai.

“As you can see, disaster has befallen Sendai. The great castle of the Daimyo has been destroyed. The entire city was pounded by a storm of fire and stone falling from the heavens, followed by a plague of Oni. Much of the city has been burned and hundreds of people have died or been carried off by the demons.”

“All this because of Yunikawa’s treachery.”

“We,” he continues, indicating the Samurai that have stayed, “do not believe you were party to this madness.”

“But your association with Yunikawa, is hard for some to ignore.”

“At any rate, you are here now and you can help Sendai.”

“Word of what happened has been sent to Edo, and I hear that Daimyo Shinsen Hasekura will be returning to Sendai as soon as possible with a delegate of the Shogunate itself, to witness for themselves firsthand the destruction of Sendai and to oversee the reconstruction efforts.”

“Magistrate Mikio Amori of Morioka has also been appraised of Sendai’s misfortune and is sending her army to help restore order and to rebuild the city.”

“But first things first – you need to go into the city and report to the new Chief Magistrate, Hie Yama-Uno.”

Then bowing his head, the Nobleman explains, “Chief Magistrate Noburu Saito was killed in the fall of the Ancestral Castle of the Daimyo.”

Rai nods, "We were appraised of the situation by the Ancestors." Pausing he griminces a bit and says, "but to see the destruction first hand is chilling. Thank you for your help in calming down the crowd." with a node to the nobleman. (Can I get a Who Who role to see if I know who he is?)

"Yes, thank you." Roka states. "And we would be honored to report to the new Magsitrate."

Roka then turns to Kando Gensai, and smiles.

"It is good to see you, friend. I'm glad the ancestors protected you from the devastation. Where is the rest of us?"

"It's best if we keep moving, I suspect the Naga are already in battle as we speak and we have limited time regardless."
 Miya says while stepping up from behind Rai and Roka. She looks around with unexpected vigor at the destruction.

Udo frowns. He's pretty sure Noburo Saito scolded him once over the squirrels, but at the very least he was one of the 'good' guys.
He turns to the nobleman, confused by something he said, "Do you know why the demons were taking people away? Or to where?"

“I was fortunate to have only lost half of my house,” Kando Gensai replies to Roka, “And even more fortunate that my family and I were in the half that survived.”

“The others are around, I think,” he adds, “everyone is scattered all over helping to deal with the ruin. Those that are able at least.”

When Miya mentions the Naga, it raises a lot of eyebrows – but nobody says anything about it.

When Udo asks about the demons, The Nobleman simply says, “May we never find out.”

Rai asks, "What happened to the temple of the five gods and its high priest?"

Roka nods.
"It'll be okay, friend. Yukinawa will pay for what he has done to us, I swear it." Roka states with conviction. "We must gather the group. We work best together, and right now, we must work our best for Sendai."

"Kando, do you know where Yone would be? I need to speak to her."

"Yone is all right," Kando replies, "I saw her briefly after the assault on the city, but do not know where she currently is."

"That's good. If you see her, tell her that I need to speak with her on an urgent matter, alright?" Roka says to Kando.
