Toku Kenpachi strode to Shiro Akodo. He remembered his youth, at Shiro Matsu. The Akodo castle was almost decorative compared to the dojo of days past. He had his papers ready, as the guards were carefully watching him. He was aware of the routine. He informed the guards that he had a letter from the Monkey Clan Champion, to be delivered to Akodo Tomatsu, the Lion Champion. The letter was wrapped in gold and yellow, and smelled of Heliotrope.
To the Steadfast Right Hand of the True Emperor,
Though we have never met, I have heard of your honorable actions to save the Empire, and though I could never hope to accomplish what you have, I am thankful for the guidance of honorable behavior that you show all samurai. There has been trying times for my Clan, but that has never wavered our loyalty to the Empire, and to the man that will save it, the Noble Toturi III. Though we are but a mere drop compared to the might of the largest army on earth, we stand with you. Your wisdom has shown the way for all clans, and though it saddens me that so many of my Minor Clan brethren are too foolish to follow, we stand with you. My father trained with the honorable Matsu, and from birth I have witnessed the greatest of feats performed by him, I know that with your tactics, and the might of the Matsu, we will purge the Empire of those not strong enough to do what must be done. My Grandfather fought for Toturi I, I will follow his example and gladly follow Toturi III no matter the cost. As my parting to you, I wish to leave you with the words of my Grandfather. One can not wait for glory, one must go out in the world and claim it.
