The teen stands in front of the camera and speaks with a shaking voice"I come to you again. This time not as a Blood Dragon. Not even as the sister of the Shogun himself. I come to you asking to stop this madness that you call a war." She shakes her head "I've read years ago that the Outcast's honored the Blood Dragons and were our allies. I'm not going to blame anyone, I'm not going to blame you or anyone else for what happened." She sighed and looked to the side soon after "In my short short time alive, I've seen my entire family killed by the hands of an enemy clan. I've seen people and groups fight for no reason." She stares at the screen for a moment for continuing "Earlier today in the Club of the Dragon's, I broke down saying how I'd never stand for you attacking us..that I'd never stand for Cardmine entering Kusari even..I know how much you might hate me, May Ling and my Brother but you were more then willing to listen to me when I was shogun so I still hope I can have your ears for now and will for a while."
"I refuse to fight the Crimson Cross and I've told all Blood Dragons to stand down. I refuse to attack people I once called my ally, people I once used to trust on Kyoto base, regardless of who they believed in; be that a goddess or a god or even the spirits themselves." She lowered her head and kept speaking "I've learned much from the Sister's guild about those you call the spirits, I've spoken with a few myself and I've even been taken apart by my own people fearing I was infected as well. I don't fear them. I do respect them and I respect your will to follow them to death." She looked directly into the camera "I refuse to fight you still however. I will defend my home however if needed and I'm sure you will even agree to protecting those that are your kin and family."
She looked away "I might only be sixteen, I might not even be a leader anymore. However I still believe there is a chance for peace." she stared at the screen again "I have told none of the dragon's that I'd be sending this transmission to you and your people as well." She looked back at the camera once more "I stand before the Cross begging for one last chance at peace, not for my sake, or even my people but for both sides not to start a senseless war. A war that has no reason to begin in the first place. I understand you may have made your discussion. I know my people have as well but I have made everyone stand down, including my own brother, the shogunate himself and he has allowed me to send this message."
She stood and walked to the front of the table, tears forming, she shook as she tried speak again "I have nothing to offer. I know there are others that want to go to war. But I've seen enough of it, and I refuse to let my people die for a war that can be avoided." She stared at the screen again. "I don't want to hurt anyone, not even the Cross. You might not agree with me, but I do hope you listen to me at least. That's the least I can hope for and that you will consister it. Even if you don't, I refuse to let my people attack the Outcast's in anyway possible."
"I will say one thing however. And I want you to listen. You will not hurt those I call my family and my people. As we will not hurt yours in return. We'll allow you into Kusari to do whatever you want as well." She sighed and lowered her head again "I had a spirit speak to me two days ago...and I remember what it told me..'they did this, make them suffer." She looked up at the screen, one could swear they could see a fire burning in her eyes as she spoke "I will not do such. I will not make anyone suffer. Not even if you go to war with us. I refuse to let my people die by something that can be avoided altogether."
"My fellow Dragons, I'm sorry but there will be no fighting, should I find you attacking the Outcast's, then you will be punished by me personally. May, Saito, Kohaku and the Twin's..I'm sorry, but I refuse for there to be another war we can't win this time. You all can hate me as much as you want. But as Daimyo and the Last shogun-" She stares into the screen "I order you all to stand down." She looked around the room she was in for a second before looking at the screen again, this time directing what she had to say to the Cross.
"I've had plenty of time with the sisters to learn much about the spirits and the ones you call your gods. How they gave life to your planet, how they gift you..I understand much..but not all that there is to learn, perhaps I never will." she shook her head once more "However. I will stand here once more and if need to, I will beg for peace if I must. I may not be able to appease the Inquisitor's or Cardinal's themselves ever but I can still ask you to at least..please..consister this...I will await you response.."
