Re: Chapter 3 - Mantis Complications
"To aid this city in a time of great need, Tonbo-sama."
"If you will not mind my directness, I will go to the heart of the matter. The Crane have received reports of an imminent Lion attack on this city. The Crane, in order to defend it, have come to the Mantis seeking our aid. We could not allow the Lion to take this city, especially not from the Crane now weakened from the Clan Wars. Because of that we assented to their request. Now we turn to the Dragonfly, seeking your aid to bolster our own in the defence of this city.
"The magic of your clan's founder protected your clan from the Lion before and saved it from extinction. We ask only that you do the same for this city, to use your magic to protect it and its inhabitants from the Lion. We do not ask this lightly either, we know how vindictive the Lion are and of the hatred they bear towards your clan. As we are now the Voice of the Minor Clans we will do what we can to aid you against the Lion in the courts against their slander and other places.
"We ask this of you because we know what lives can be saved with the Tonbo's aid. Can we count on it?"
OOC: Yup, that's what I meant. Sorry, got Dragons on my brain :)
