In the hall of Kyuden Shiba where the weapons of the visiting dignitaries are being kept there is a disturbance. One of the blades begins to rattle in it's saya. The elite Shiba honour gaurd can tell that the spirits and elements are in movement. A shugenja is called for.
OOC- if anyone wants to be the shugena that arrives PM me and I can send you my story idea (to be worked on with you as this is all co-op story telling.)
Edit- found co-authur

- Maybe you can't explain. But I can said Daisuke while walking into the room - The matter is really simple, it seems that one of the weapons from this room is on the brink of awakening. And I won't be wrong if I say it's your Dragon-san, right? The boy asked - This is a glorious moment... and at the same time extremely dangerous. No one knows what power the nemuranai will have or how will they show. I might try to learn of it's abilities... but you'd have to allow me to touch and use the blade. And I suppose it's extremely important to you.

It is my blade and important to me of course but it is not my grandfather's blade. It was given to me from the armoury of this very castle. Please performe what rituals you must Kitsu-san

Daisuke positioned his hand above the blade. We touched the tsuka gently and then quickly moved the hand back. His palm was burned a little.
- That's interesting. The kami of fire that is inside this weapon seems a little... irritated. Could you tell me more about the origin of this blade? Or maybe you could tell me more about yourself, and of your deeds, as those could also be the reason behind the kami actions.

I am but a humble bushi trained in The Way of Shiba after my... injury. As to my blade it was given to my by the Shiba. I never asked my sensei how she acquired a katana of classic Dragon style. The gold work the green trim, the carved dragon head on the...?! I have held this blade in my hands durring many long hours of meditation and I have never before noticed this. In the flames of the dragons breath, it almost looks like a bird... A phoenix.

- Thank you for this infromation, Mirumoto-san. Daisuke said and started thinking. Suddenly his eyed widened and he approached the blade again. He positioned his hand, closed his eyes and then he quickly grabbed the blade with only his right hand, and drew it from the sheath. The blade that was now epxosed, and pointed upwards, exploded with flames. The young Kitsu started muttering something quietly while his right hand started to get burned. He frowned and started sweating, probably from pain. Suddenly the flames doused and Daisuke went silent.
Then he caught the weapon by it's blade with his burned hand and pointed the tsuka at Machu, as if asking him to take it.
- The kami was angry at you bushi-san. This blade is a magnificient weapon and yet you didn't show as much interest to it as you should. Thus when he gained the power, thanks to the other nemuranai gathered here, to manifest himself he did. But now, the kami seems to understand that a bushi who doesn't have a contact with their world might have not thought about it. It acknowledges you as your servant Daisuke said - Whenever you face an enemy he will use his flames to burn anyone who stands in your path helping you, as long as that person does not belong to the Dragon clan. He will punish those that might try to use the blade against you, as he tried to do with me, or precisely my hand. Lastly, his flames will keep your body and soul warm and strong. The Kitsu said and finally opened his eyes. - But in return notice is demanded. You must learn more about how this blade ended in your hands. You must also prove your devotion to both the Dragon and the Phoenix, working to keep the clans together should a problem arise.
- This is the nature of this blade. The last demand is for a fitting name from you, Machu-san

I thank you for your wisdom and skill Kitsu-san. I am sorry most worthy blade for dishonoring you and vow to become worthy of your service. But for now I must leave you in this place of honor so that I may learn of your history. With that Machu places the sword back where it came from and heads to the great hall to find his teacher and hopefully answers. Kitsu-san you said that the sword demands that I serve the Dragon and the Phoenix but I am indebted to you as well. If ever you need a swordsman you have but to ask. As soon as I master my sword of course.

- It was a honor for me, being allowed to take part in an event like this. I sense that you will be a samurai of great skill and glory, so I feel honored that you consider yourself indebted to me. If you excuse me I need to take care of my wound He said showing the burned palm of his hand. After that Daisuke left the room and after finding a place where he wouldn't be bothered he finally started to try and heal himself *That was dumb, arguing with a fire kami... baka Daisuke * he thought to himself

Machu returns to the grand hall. While he must honor the history of his sword he must also honor his hosts. He notices that the table for sushi is too crowded to get to. He takes up a small basket of fruits and nuts that his bad arm can carry and goes to find his teacher. After a shrt time he locates her. Sensei congradulations on your new champion. I have news of my own and a question...
OOC- My RP will stay in this thread even though Machu is in the same room as the others.

After some time speaking to his teacher and then from her an introduced to an Agasha smith Machu returns to the room where his sword lies. I can tell you who made this sword Mirumoto-san for I recognize the style well. This sword was forged by my own ancestor Agasha Hiroyuki the man who built the new Agasha forges when my family swore fealty to the Phoenix. But I do not know this sword witch is strange considering the power your Lion friend said was within. I am sorry I could not help you more.

Machu now had a problem if a student of history could not tell him what he needed to know where could he go now.
Only the smith would know and he had lond since joined his...ANCESTORS! If Daisuke-san would be willing to help me again there may be a way.

Daisuke, after he finally healed his hand, decided to return to the feast.
He was really surprised when he saw Machu looking for someone.
- Hello again Machu-san. Are you looking for someone?

In fact I am. I seek two people with the one leading to the other. And you are the one. I have learned the name of the smith who forged my blade but can find no mention of this sword's history. It was my hope that I could avail myself of your bloodlines legendary gift and call his spirit from blessed Yomi to seek his wisdom and insight. I know this is alot to ask and presumes much, but you have told me how important this is and my options are few.

Daisuke wondered for a while if what Machu asked of him was possible. - Maybe it was possible... maybe. Firstly we would have to find a living descendant of that smith. And even after we did I can't guarantee that the spirit will speak to us. Or that I can find him. Nonetheless we may try.
