Cloaked figure in elegant kimono, clearly of imperial tailoring, followed by thirteen guards in pitch black armour arrives to the city of the Lost. He has bearing of someone used to power and command...

Four samurai stood guard at the gates of the city, dressed in armor bearing the mon of the Spider Clan. At Alesha's approach, two of them step forward to bar his path. "Identify yourself, and state your business in the City," one of the guards said gruffly. Other samurai looked down curiously from the walls above the gate; a samurai in black armor with an honor guard was a rare occurrence here.

*He looks at the guards for a moment, then speaks, his finger trailing along the saya of his blade as h smiles softly, but speaks with cruel coldness...* I am Alesha, formerly known as Kakita Alesha, Shireikan of Kakita Legions, the one behind the Seawatch Massacre. You will take me to the ruler of this city, for I am not known for my patience.

"It is not our custom to allow enemies in the presence of our lord, Kakita-sama," the guard said. "I have no doubt you are proficient enough with that blade to force your way into the city, however." He gave the other guard a hand signal, and the two men stepped aside for Alesha. "Enjoy your stay in the City, Kakita-sama," he said, motioning for Alesha to enter. "May the blessings of Fu Leng be upon you."
The gates to the city open slowly with an ominous hissing sound, and as Alesha passed through he might notice that the samurai on the walls followed his every move. They had bows in hand, but none of them seemed ready to shoot; they seemed to recognize Alesha as an ally rather than an enemy. Perhaps it had been his demeanor at the gate?
As the gates closed behind him, another samurai dressed in a dark kimono met his procession. He bowed low to the Kakita officer as he approached. "Welcome to the City of the Lost, Kakita-sama," he said in a pleasant tone. "It is my duty to take you to Lord Daigotsu-dono at once." Undead servants went about their business obliviously as the procession passed through the City, but its living inhabitants by and large stopped to watched the newcomers marching toward the palace. Some of them whispered quietly to one another.
"If I may, Kakita-sama," their guide began as they walked, "what business have you with our lord on this fine day?"

He walked in, clearly not that worried about the archers.
"The business is simple. While we had our share of misunderstandings in the past, it was due to my former Lords agenda. I do believe that after recent events, they are behind, and there is certainly much to discuss in terms of alliance." - His men walked behind him, finding the air of shadowlands much more pleasant then the smoke filled air of Crane or Imperial lands that they left...

"Ah yes, of course Kakita-sama," the guide said, nodding his approval. "These are surely dark times for all, even the humble Spider; one must find friends where one can in such circumstances." The man stopped suddenly and his eyes went wide; he turned to face Alesha and bowed low. "Forgive me Kakita-sama, I have failed to introduce myself. Where are my manners! My name is Susumu, Lord Daigotsu-dono's herald. A thousand apologies!" He bowed low once more, a sincere tone of distress in his voice.

(All cool, always good to meet future Imperial advisor ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) )) "But why, Susumu-san, it is a pleasure to meet you. I must confess, the City of the Lost, is much more interesting than I originally thought. It has most picturesque scenery and most fascinating lighting. It might very well do, to inspire my new painting phase." - he muses for a bit, with somewhat psychotic articulation. - "Do tell me, who are the notables in City of the Lost? Of course Lord Daigotsu needs no introduction, his name is well known to the Empire."

"As you say," Susumu said, with another bow. He motioned for Alesha to follow, and they continued on their way to the central palace. "Lord Thrakhath-dono, the Obsidian Champion, has recently been declared Daigotsu-dono's regent; those matters which Daigotsu-dono is unwilling to handle fall to him." The slightest hint of a smile tugged at the corner of Susumu's lips. "Thrakhath-dono is currently at Shiro Hiruma directing the siege of the castle, by all accounts, and I believe news of this promotion has not yet reached him. No doubt he will find out soon enough."
Activity within the City began to increase as the got closer to the palace, and the buildings began to look more and more expensive. "Chuda Mishime-sama is the current daimyo of the Chuda family, after the unfortunate departure of Chuda... pardon me, Tamihei Shoju. Shoju-sama saw fit to ask permission to re-establish the Snake Clan, and Daigotsu-dono granted his request. Mishime-sama is also currently at Shiro Hiruma, though I must confess I much preferred Shoju-sama. Mishime-sama can be a bit... unstable, at the best of times. A promising young student named Yun went with him, along with a sizable number of Chuda, greatly reducing the ranks of bloodspeakers within the clan. I don't suppose you have any talent in blood magic, Kakita-sama?"

"But why... It is this very art that brought me here. Few those days feel its call as profoundly as I do." - He notes with a wicked smile. And continues his inquiery. - "It does appear to me that the political life out here in the west is quite lively. Tell me what was exact rift in the Chuda family all about, and where the Tamihei came into being?"

"I am not certain of the details myself, Kakita-sama," Susumu said, frowning slightly. "To my knowledge, Shoju simply became interested in heading his own minor clan rather than serving our lord. His true motivations, if indeed he has others, are unknown to me." Susumu seemed to be taking them on a rather roundabout rout to the palace rather than going directly there, as if to give them time to converse. "It is also my understand that lord Thrakhath-dono was quite put out with Shoju-sama for breaking away from the Spider, though his intentions are also unknown to me." He frowned again as they walked. "Thrakhath-dono can be somewhat volatile and unpredictable at times; it would not surprise me if the actions he took were rater drastic, assuming he was cross enough with Shoju-sama to act."
"I apologize, but my knowledge of this subject is somewhat limited, Kakita-sama," Susumu said with a slight bow as they walked. "Is there anything else I can answer for you?"

"This is more than sufficient for now, Susumu-sama." He nods as he walks along side... Interesting developements...
