    About the Author

    Commissioner Ryuubi

    The day was hot as Kou stepped out of his house.

    The street was desolate enough on a regular day with the

    many private traditional, wooded estates that lined the

    cobbled road. As today was a national holiday, not a soul

    occupied the street apart from the palanquin moving down

    the road in his direction. Kou loosened his kimono slightly

    and puffed on his pipe. He stood fully erect and looked up

    at the scorching sun with his narrow, black elven eyes. His

    young face perspired easily as small droplets of water

    condensed on the edges of his long, thin mustache. At his

    side, a belt around his hip supported both a katana and a

    wakizashi. He wiped his face, made yet another puff on the

    pipe and achieved no more than a single step away from

    his gate before the palanquin stopped abruptly in his path.

    The palanquin, a kobe, was of low quality. Dirty

    white cloths attached to the simple wood pieces served as

    blinds. The two men that lifted the contraption had their

    loincloths and light white happi coats soaked in sweat and

    exuded a slight odor. They nervously set the kobe down

    about five feet from Kou whose eyes were wide with

    curiosity.The moment the palanquin hit the ground the cloth

    blinds flew apart and, to Kous surprise, a dark majestic

    figure emerged. Nearly dropping his pipe in shock Kou

    glanced both left and right, as if searching for the person

    for whom the palanquin was actually stopping. Standing

    before him now was a young man, early twenties perhaps

    if not for his elven descent that added at least a hundred

    years to his age, dressed in just black and red garments.

    He wore his robes as a trench coat of sorts, the two colors

    mixed to form an elaborate depiction of raging flames.

    Matching the pattern of his robes from hilt to sheath was a

    katana strapped to his left side. From his waist down was

    the darkness of a black hakama, socks and sandals. The

    leggings swooshed as he walked over to one of the lifters.

    Retrieving a small satchel from the confines of his clothing,

    he pulled a few gold pieces out and commandingly offered

    them to the sweating men. The two men accepted the

    gold, bowed deeply and quickly departed. Then the young

    man walked majestically towards Kou.

    The young mans eyes were alight with eagerness.

    He strode to the gate with a slight smirk. His brown skin

    bore no signs of sweat in the oppressive heat though his

    short, thin black hair betrayed a hint of moisture that

    glistened in the glare of the sunlight. The charismatic aura

    of a leader radiated from him as he approached the gate.Captain Kou Mine, he said with a brimming smile.

    It truly is a pleasure to see you in good health, sir.

    No, my liege, the pleasure is undoubtedly mine,

    Kou responded with a dumbfounded expression, his color

    slightly drained. May I ask what brings you here today,

    your majesty? He asked the question shyly, with soft

    voice.

    I will be honest with you, captain. I have escaped

    from the palace and wish for you to conceal me, the

    young man said sternly.

    Color restored to the captains face as he took yet

    another puff on his pipe and blew the smoke away from his

    royal visitor. He took another quick glance around before

    ushering his guest inside.
