The front in Unicorn lands still goes strong, but though I have killed a few Yobanjin, I would only risk the lives of my fellow Scorpion by sticking around and trying to do too much there. Thus have my wanderings taken me to Dragon lands once more. It almost seems to be a second front here, with many in training, and more noticeably, supplies being gathered and shipped off to the front.
Though the Dragon have for the most part been consummate hosts, as befits what has always been a friendship between clans, times are tense. I was stopped on my way south from the secluded High House of Light and asked to present papers by a few more than suspicious Yoriki. Having been long on the road, and having been welcomed with open arms in many other areas of the Dragon lands, this wearied me. If any Dragon samurai deems this public journal worth reading, I apologize deeply for any panicked Yoriki you may have had to deal with. However, it did get me past, and surely, it was something that should not have occurred in the first place!
As I write this, I reside in the fortress of Great Fall Castle, a place that is as strange as any one can find, in any land. Though the Scorpion have a strong Magistrate tradition, as do many other clans, I have rarely seen such a martial take on the duty as the Dragon have given it by training their Kitsuki Magistrate alongside their Mirumoto. I have been allowed to observe their training, even allowed to get the most base of training alongside using a few connections. It is a most interesting course, and I hope to see a little more before I leave.
However, the training is merely a diversion to pass time ignoring my primary reason for having come here. I have spent the past few days working with the Dragon quartermasters here getting supplies sent to the front. While I did not fight many Yobanjin, I did manage to come to the full realization that it was a full invasion, and that every weapon and set of armor that could be spared would be of great importance. The Dragon have been most helpful sending what they can from the stockpiles here at Great Fall Castle, but it has been long work organizing the trade routes and ending destinations.
I have heard that the Tamori have been working on experiments to see if there is more that can be done to counter the Yobanjin, and my plans will likely take me there next. There is still much to be done here however, and it may be another day or two spent in such good company.
