Friends The prophecies of Uikku begin to foretell of occurrences which match those around us. The rise of the Scorpion and the fall of the line of Hantei are the events surrounding the return of the great Evil, the time for which we have prepared since the First Shinsei walked upon the lands of Rokugan. As I write this, I wait in the stronghold of the Lion, watching their preparations for war against the usurper of Otosan Uchi. The Matsu have ordered the Akodo to stand down and allow their Heroine to lead the battle, and without my student, Toturi, I believe the Akodo will do as they say.
