Miyamoto was standing near the Taishogun's throne, waiting for his decision, waiting to see new Dragons arise. He leaned on a wall behind him, bowing his head and carefully listening and observing all that was going on in the Imperial Court Throne Room. Suddenly one of his own Guards approached him, in hope he will surprise Miyamoto in addition of handing over the message. The young Oban thought Miyamoto was unobservant of his surroundings, and as the Oban was about to greet his Shogun and proudly say he managed to take a Shogun by surprise, Miyamoto spoke to him.
"You are getting better Kazuki, much better." - Miyamoto rose his head and smiled to the young Oban who was unusually short for his age, making him perfect for stealth, "Do not lose hope, one day you will master the arts of the Samurai."
"Hai Sensei!" - The Oban said encouraged by Miyamoto's last words, "I have something for you Sensei, a message from our Guards in the docking bays." - He whispered to Miyamoto handling him over a piece of parchment.
"Hai they have arrived. Tell them to remain outside of the Court until they are summoned before the Taishogun. Also instruct them in how to behave before His Greatness. Now make haste Kazuki." - Miyamoto barely finished the sentence and the Oban was half way towards the door, a swift and promising young man he was with excellent blade skills Miyamoto thought leaning back to the wall and bowing his head.
The Throne Room silenced for a while, as the Taishogun requested silence, his mind had much to decide and meditation was necessary. The Taishogun mastered the arts of meditation long ago, as even the entire Throne Room was unable to prevent him from reaching peace in his mind. Suddenly he opened his eyes, and glanced his view across the Room, seeing who is there. He then rose from the Throne and all kneeled as a sign of respect to the Taishogun.
"The Taishogun will speak now." - He said and paused a little to give time for the Dragons in there to rise from the ground, "The Taishogun has made a wise decision. Roju Hirosho Horatami approach The Taishogun." - He said as he looked towards the honorable Dragon who immediately proceeded and kneeled before the Taishogun.
"My blade, wisdom, and honor is at your disposal Greatness." - Hirosho spoke with an honorable and powerful voice.
"Give your blade to The Taishogun." - He spoke to Hirosho who immediately drew his recently cleaned and shiny Katana to the Taishogun, "The Taishogun has decided that Roju Hirosho Horatami will now be known as Daimyo Hirosho Horatami!" - He said and placed his Katana on his left shoulder, then the right one, "Arise before The Taishogun and your brothers Daimyo Hirosho!."
"Hai, hai most honorable Taishogun! I will not disappoint your Greatness! I will serve with honor, pride and wisdom, and the Rising Sons will shine clearer then Kusari Stars in the future!" - Hirosho said as he rose from the ground and proceeded down from the Throne as the Taishogun gestured with his hand. Hirosho's eyes were glowing with a Dragon flame, and all were congratulating him and bowing to him.
"The Taishogun will speak again." - The Taishogun said and the babbling quickly seized, "Hatamoto's Yuuma Saburo and Arisu Sachiko approach the Taishogun." - The two Hatamoto's hurried up to the Throne, bowing and kneeling in front of the Taishogun. Both drawing their blades and presenting them to the Taishogun. He firstly approached Hatamoto Yuuma, took his blade, and spoke, "The Taishogun has deemed your honor and wisdom great, and you will be known henceforth as Roju Yuuma Saburo." - He said as he placed his blade only on the left shoulder, and returned the Samurai his blade. The Taishogun then approached Arisu Sachiko and took her blade into his hands, "Hatamoto Arisu Sachiko will be known as Roju Arisu Sachiko in the Rising Sons from now on, as she has server the Taishogun with true honor." - The Taishogun spoke as he placed the blade on her left shoulder, and finally returning her the blade.
"Arise Rojus of the Rising Sons." - The Taishogun said as he slowly returned to his Throne and sat down, "Leave the Taishogun now." - The two Rojus proceeded down the throne being congratulated by their brethren.
The Taishogun looked towards Miyamoto and hand gestured him to approach, on which Shogun Miyamoto hurried up to the Throne to hear the Taishogun's bidding. The Taishogun whispered something to Miyamoto, hidden from the other Dragons ears, and then leaned his hand on the throne and supported his head. Miyamoto moved down the Throne a bit so everyone in the Room could see him.
"Daiymo's Red Dragon and Hirosho Horatami have to make honorable decisions, and decide which Oban deserves to be a Hatamoto." - Miyamoto said as he looked towards Hirosho. Red Dragon wasn't in the Court, but Miyamoto knew he will get his duty done. He then continued, "Hatamoto Nakemono is to remain behind there and await for Shogun Sum-Gok-Li's arrival." - Miyamoto said as he nodded towards a corridor that lead to a secondary room of the Court. Nakemono nodded back in response, and proceeded into the other room thinking what could Shogun Sum want from him, even more, what could the Taishogun want from him.
"This matter is now concluded by the Taishogun's decision. All Dragons return to their duties, and let us proceed with what is next on schedule." - Miyamoto said and looked towards the Dragon that was tasked with keeping records, who read what was next on schedule and walked towards Miyamoto, "The Consortium request audience with the Taishogun."
