A Day Earlier…
In the dimly lit chamber stationed in the main clan compound, where only the strongest and wisest of the Hachiman clan could enter, were ten of the Hachiman clan elders.
Each of them were draped in silver robes that signified their position in the clan.
A large, intricately carved table was positioned in the center of the room, and surrounded by chairs that spoke mountains of the clan's fortune, it was clear that a meeting between the elders was about to take place.
The air was thick with tension as the elders waited for the meeting to commence.
"Now that everyone is present, the meeting shall begin." An old woman with red eyes and long white hair that flowed freely to her shoulder said, her words signifying that the meeting was starting.
She was the grand elder, otherwise known as the first elder.
