made her choice when she dueled Lord Moon. Yokuni made his choice when
sacrificing himself to deter Fu Leng. These important decisions have saved
the empire. And now we have another one in front of the Dragon Clan.

They made their chooses, all in the name of saving us and all of the empire.
What choose is in front of us. The only one I can think of is are we going
to stay up in the mountains or come down and take a more active role in the
empire? 

>      I'll come right down to it. Hitomi is gone. The Hitomi family is
divided, and our brother Reju is returning to the Crane. The Agasha
abandoned us, as did one of our most respected brethren, Togashi Mitsu, and
they left with good reason, seeing the follies of Hitomi. We are a divided
clan.

Hitomi is becoming a god/immortal (and with her hopefully the flames wars).
The Hitomi's divided, where is your evidence and I don't like Reju (the win
when tied is cheap in my opinion). Agasha left because of Hitomi and she
going so lets see what happens. Mitsu better be back!

very balanced, and can do many things moderately well. 

I thought that was the point. I picked Dragon because the rulebook(Imperial)
my friend had said warrior mystics.

> When you come right down to it, we are the perfect clan, everything
moderate, no excesses. But in past wars, we've learned that these tactics
aren't enough to truly stand with the other Great Clans as their equal. We
need a change, and we need it now.

We are far from perfect and if the other clans were truly better we would
have been taken long ago.

> How are we to help defend the Empire when we are needed? Our Clan is
inadequate in those areas, and we need to make a choice as to how we want to
deal with this.

We have defended the empire when we were needed. When we duel we focus on
dueling, when we attack we focus on attack. The crab attack, the Craine duel
but can they do both as well as the other. No, but we can.

Hows the taint working for you.

 but unless we find another way soon, our choices will be limited to that
one. What portent that event would bring to the Empire, I cannot be sure.

Have you talked to Yoshi, he has much power.

>      You all have a choice. Make the right one.

Their is no right or wrong only the paths we take and no two are the same.
Our desendents will jugde if our actions were the good ones. For they we be
the most affected by what we do today.

Good Day
