Imperial Court of the Blood Dragon Shogunate

[valen]

Miyamoto listened carefully to his old friend, and soaked every word and thoroughly weighted it in his mind. He stood there in his chambers while doing what he always did when talking to someone, looking through the glass opening that looked into space and he admired the everlasting cold of Chugoku. While Akuji was speaking Miyamoto reached for the glass and touched it several times, appearing as though he is not listening to Akuji, while he was only reaching for his lost brothers.

Akuji's words were making sense, and Miyamoto didn't deny that, "Let me stop you here Akuji-san. You were a Shogun! Each and every action you made, every word that you so wisely chose affected the Rising Sons! And your reckless act of taking our most prized Kagutsuchi into an unknown anomaly was foolish! It is only luck that saved your life, and the lives of your crew.... Luck, and these Phantoms you say." - Miyamoto's face grimed and darkened while saying those words. He had heard of the Phantoms, though it was only shadow talk, always too afraid to talk about them people are, and even more scared to listen.

"I have heard tales about them, told by the Elders. None are good Akuji-san. These are dangerous grounds that you tread by. I haven't seen them in my life age brother, but what I've been told is far from good. And you say you offered them yourself? Yet you are here, alive."
