OOC: Check out Ancient Land if you wish to join. I would prefer this part to just be role-playing.
I will be playing the daimyo, the warlords of Japan. This will be taking place on the lands of his family. His name is Ikkura Keiji (just for reference, last name is first.)
IC: The Daimyo Ikkura sat there, listening to the man’s pleas in silence. His family was all standing to one side, heads bowed in respect. “You ask me to save your life but you dishonored another daimyo in front of me! I should kill your whole family for this insult! You bring great dishonor upon this entire land. Luckily, he will not attack us over this insult. He only asks for you head.”
The man quickly bows deeply, kneeling on the floor. “I’m sorry sire. Please allow me to be executed by your sword and keep my honor. My family does not disserve any of this.”
The Daimyo presses his lips together. He slowly begins to speak. “You brought dishonor upon your entire house. They have already suffered for your misdeed. I see bruises on your son, resulting from the others in his school learning of your dishonor. If I was to leave them alone, who would now lead your house?”
The man slowly responds, “My younger brother, sire.”
The Daimyo looks over the family and spots the man. “Come forth. Can you handle this responsibility?”
“Yes, sire.”
The daimyo turns back to the man on the floor. “Your family shall be saved. You must not get the honor you ask for. You must go to the executioner. He will remove your head.”
“Thank you sire.”
The family turns and leaves, followed by the dishonored man. Relief shows on all their faces. The daimyo turns to the rest of those in the room. “I will be leaving in the morning for Nara. The emperor has asked for my presence. I will be there for a short while and return.”
The daimyo turns to his wife, bowing in the corner. Another man stands just behind her, guarding her. “You must remain here, wife. I will return in a week or two. Your guard shall rule in my absence, as we have done so many times.”
The daimyo stands and leaves the room.
The next day, the daimyo and an escort of a twenty samurai leave the house. They ride swiftly towards Nara.
After about a week and a half, they start back towards the lands of the Ikkura. About three hours ride out side of the palace, the group is ambushed and all but one samurai makes a stand. He is order to lead the daimyo to safety.
The two run into the forest, swords drawn. They come upon a house and slowly walk to the door, the samurai announcing his lord.
