Miyamoto glanced his eyes once again at the Chrysanthemum in his chambers, a rather unusual sight for one to behold amongst the rugged Dragons. Her kimono made out of the finest silk gliding on her body like a summer breeze through a valley covered with bright red flowers like the ones drawn on it. He turned around facing towards the viewpoint looking out in the Chugoku Cloud, admiring the everlasting darkness of the Dragons home, and hand gestured the escort he summoned a moment earlier to stand back as if he had yet something to ask the Chrysanthemum sister.
"Magnificent isn't it?" - He began talking barely heard by the sister Chrysanthemum, or better yet a sister Dragon by the looks of it. He rose his hand and touched the glass, as if trying to reach the distant asteroids that were not gray, but tainted with blood, "The Chugoku Cloud I mean. How many blood has been spilled here, how many mothers have lost their sons here, and yet, it is still breathtaking. Even I hate it, but cannot force myself to stop loving it. Strange." - Miyamoto spoke to the sister, clearly confusing her with his words. He lowered his head and took of the decorations and medals on his robes with his hand, slowly reaching for the table in his chambers and lowering the medals onto it. He shook his hand and dropped all but one cheap and miserable looking medal and turned around looking the sister in the eyes. The escorts left the chambers closing the doors behind them, leaving the two alone with their words.
"The battle for the Arch, for that is what I got this for. I was there all those years ago where we lost so many and when I was nearly lost with them. The victory was ours, and those that died that day died with honor. Never did I regret my decision to fly with Ozu-sama that day, unlike the decisions made lately." - Miyamoto wandered in his thoughts for a short time, clearly struggling with something deep inside of him.
"But, I should not trouble you with thoughts that should be mine and mine alone. I have asked for you to remain for but one reason. You see, our sisters...." - Miyamoto sighed trying to find the correct words to explain it, "Have taken the wrong path. We fight for the same cause hai, but they seem to be blinded by the drug of the Outcasts. And this Zetsumai, it sadness me a sister lost such as she is. Lies, disrespect, dishonor is what I despise, and she does not lack any of it. We have fought along their side from their beginning, and they repay us by betrayal? By choosing them over the Dragons? Iie, I cannot see it happen. And what I want to know sister, is why? Why do they not see their wrongdoings? Why have they lost honor and continue to be drawn into the abyss? I cannot see it."
"I know nothing of you yet sister, but I see you have courage to reach for your goals. And honor you do not lack. That is what I respect and admire, and because of it you have found a friend in me. But careful, you betray me once, I behead you faster then you can drink sake. You have found home on Kyoto if that is what you seek."
