Letter to Akodo Tomatsu

[Bayushi Senshi]

Dear friend,

I had told you that I would be joining you on the road to Shiro Akodo, I hope this letter finds you there well instead. Unfortunately I had to make haste for Beiden to help raise my armies, and could not afford to stay the night in your excellent hospitality. I plan to take you up on the offer as soon as the Yobanjin are no longer a threat, and in penance for having to decline your invitation, I am offering you the best hospitality a Scorpion can give should you ever wish to visit Kyuden Bayushi.

I hope the honorable Doji-san and yourself can come to an honorable peace, and as always I offer my services to such an end if ever you require the assistance.

I will see you on the battlefield, most glorious Lion-san,
Bayushi Senshi.

[Akodo Tomatsu]

Old Friend,

Would I not be a Lion if I did not understand that war ruins the best laid plans? Think no more of the issue. I will however accept your proposal and stop by Kyuden Bayushi, with my army of course, on our way to fight the Yobanjin. Perhaps we could take our armies together? I find that my preparations are already complete and our forces are ready to move. Once again the benefit of being the Lion clan, I suppose.

I look forward to hearing and hopefully seeing you soon again, our time at Winter Court was so brief.

Akodo Tomatsu

[Bayushi Senshi]

Akodo Tomatsu-san,

I pray this reaches you in time for the long march, my men and I will be glad to meet you at Beiden Pass. And for once, not to make war with another, but together.

Bayushi Senshi
