Meeting of the Sosarian Alliance
The disgraced Samurai sits among the throng of people known as the United Council of Sosaria. He wonders to himself if anything will be accomplished through all the bickering and the avoiding of issues. He see his crown prince attempting to be a voice of reason admist the chaos.
"My Fault,"
the Shogun thinks,
"My fault that the empire has become involved in all these foreign politics and entangling alliances." What I have allowed to happen is both dishonoring myself, and more importantly my Empress."
He hears his beloved friend Takashi, the Soke of the Blue Lotus, stand and begin to deliver a breathtaking speech of a political nature, defending the premises of his well thought out United Council of Sosaria. The samurai thinks toward his friend,
"I am sorry for leading us this direction Takashi, I fear that we are moving down a path toward war and unrest and I will be the one with blood on my hands."
The Shogun then resolves to do something that his very being demands of him even before he comes to the conclusion.
City Square - Zento
"I have asked you all here, so that you may see the errors of my decisions in assisting the Empress and in service to you good citizens of Tokuno."
The Shogun pauses, realizing the enormity of what he is about to do.
"I have failed you all and brought dishonor to myself and dishonor to the Empress during my term as Shogun of Tokuno....."
Gasps echo throughout the crowd, some of them know what is coming and some do not.
"I now name a new Shogun to serve you all and pray to the gods that he will serve you better than I have.....Diamyo Ardrion Hitirra, you are now Shogun."
Tears begin to stream down Ardrion's eyes, knowing what he is about to do.
"Shogun Hitirra, I am ready....you know what you must do...."
The former shogun kneels, The new Shogun draws his trusted sword.....
Hesitation, regret, sorrow, forgivness, duty......
The former Shogun draws his wakiashi and plunges it into his abdomen.
Pain, fear, finality......
Shogun Hitirra's blade strikes as true as ever decapitating, the former Shogun...and sending him to a warrior death through the ancient samurai rite of Seppeku.
Now in his eternal rest, once again Nagumo Izuzki has his honor.
