Scorpion and the crab(open- rp)

[Shosuro Rei]

*one night out side the guard tower near the kaiu there sits a bag with 20 goblin heads in it and a scorpion standing next to them * here i think these belong to you crab-san i seem to have found goblins who didn't seam to need there heads and were just giving them away to anyone with a sharp enough sword. *the scorpion walks away smiling*Oh also please dont say the scorpion never helped the crab, my name is shosuro rei so you know i will be around if you need me , just ask. *she then disipears into the night like a ghost, leaving the bag as her
token to them *

[Shosuro Rei]

*three weeks after the first bag was left there is another one this one has a mon on it and that's all ... the mon is scorpion *

[Hiruma Kenchu]

The wind howls from the top of the Kaiu Kabe; the rain and dimness drawing in from the Shadowlands proper.

The rain tastes of iron and the wind cuts close sapping warmth and hope both. Hiruma Kenchu has experienced far worse but looking at the faces of the other Crab with him at the he sees many with nerves and fear barely contained; most of those so affected are young and with little or no scarring to them.

With that thought he spots the red figure approaching; an idea comes into his mind.

Kenchu turns for a moment and looks down from The Wall at the Scorpion bushi as the samurai approaches. He bows his head in a grim nod of appreciation (as far as his mempo can allow at least).

He smiles widely breath to the very young Crab warrior next him and explains to him;

[navy]“Smile and be polite, men. Twenty more goblin heads means twenty less goblins for us to deal with. Not that you all can’t take twenty of those wretched beasts on your own with only your favourite drinking cup to fend them off with and your belly full of sake! Who knows, the Scorpion might join us out at Daylight Castle one of these days? Wouldn’t that be a sight to behold?! But we are all Rokugani together! We are Crab!”[/navy]

The Crab chuckles seeing the morale of his detachments lifted and the cheers and shouts echo down the Wall.

This smallest indulgence over he faces again back towards the grim Shadowlands; thinking for a moment that he can see Daylight Castle on the horizon but cursing the obviously miraged illusion to his fellow Hiruma scout brother standing next to him. They always show you what you want to see; he thinks to himself.

He sees the enemy move from the Shadowlands side. He readies an arrow, the jade by his throat gleams for a moment.

He takes up the shout as the sound of battle slowly builds up.
[navy] “Hida!”
“For Rokugan!”
"For Duty!"[/navy]

Kenchu pulls his bowstring, takes a breath and aims.

For a moment all is still for him.

His first arrow finds the weak spot in one of the lead oni’s armour slicing its torso and spine. Its body crumples, its unholy life force spent.

[Shosuro Rei]

*after a long and hard fought battle at the wall more heads are placed out side the guard house with a note that says * to those whom fight for the empire , never forget one thing you may not like every one you defend, while you serve on this wall but we will help as we can ...
