Letter to the Shogun

This is a short for my book, Path of Legends, but rather than being written like a normal story, it's a letter, as the title may imply. Due to spoilers, I've had to edit out some names, but enjoy all the same!

Shogun of Angels City at the Sky’s Edge, Southeast Moontas

My liege,

I am writing to inform you of rising dangers in the village of Inazuma. Perhaps you have heard of it; however, I will boldly state that I doubt you are aware of the fact that it is a shinobi village. These shinobi fully support Armistice and are a direct threat to the Ancient Kingdom. Though this is not the central idea of this letter, they should be taken care of. However, the most dangerous of all the Inazuma shinobi are the smallest, for a new life has entered the world today; it is a peculiar Angel child, and I have reason to believe that she is Empowered. There is a strange, jagged mark on her face, identical to the chaos marks found on shadowbloods. In addition, she is Crimson Fern’s child, and Crimson Fern has already produced one Empowered child. This child you are all too familiar with, and his name is Jaguar Satake.

A new threat to your power is rising, and as Jaguar and his sister continue to grow, as will the peril that shadows your throne. As you know, there is something about Jaguar – and, inevitably, something about his sister – that sets him apart from other Empowered, and that something perhaps means he is one of the Seven.

The prophecy is coming true – they will come to rise, to challenge, to victor, and we must be ready for them. I advise you to take action now and destroy these little blights before it is too late. I will come forward immediately should I learn more about the Seven Empowered, and together, we will ensure that the Ancient Kingdom maintains its power and influence across not only all of Samurath, but all of the galaxy.

For courage and glory,

An eternally loyal samurai
