Chapter 12: Finest Hour

"It is during our darkest moments that we focus to see the light.

- Aristotle Onassis

- The next day... -

Instead of going back to their main camp, Hideyoshi Yana left her siblings and returned to the cathedral where her brother, Azai faced off against (Argen) Lorderius. She still has business with the Knights, she told them.

They reluctantly let her go her own way for now and Yana soon arrived at the outposts surrounding the cathedral, all of them now under the Iron Legion.

She was stopped on her tracks by the Iron footmen, but a group of Lightshields happened to be present and recognized her. They let her through and she soon found herself entering the large cathedral.

She entered through the front doors as Knights enter and exit. She found Ademar with more Lightshields with him, seemingly waiting for someone. Ademar saw the Shinobi and gestured do her to follow him.

Ademar: "They're waiting for you now." He tells her as they walk.

Yana: "Really? I suppose I came here late. We had to evade Blackstones patrolling the outskirts." She replies.

Ademar: "There are Blackstones outside the outposts?"

Yana: "Yes. They're not too far from each one and it seems that are observing this place."

Ademar: "Hmm... They're becoming more cautious. We must tell the others."

They continued walking with the Lightshields after them. They soon found a group of officers having a discussion, or a debate. Possibly both, Ademar thought.

Iron Captain 1: "... We may not have the men and resources to attack the Shard, but I for one will never work with the Samurai!"

Iron Captain 2: "I agree with Sir Ridgecall. Compromising with our enemies to take down another is heretical, and therefore unacceptable, Legion Commander! Besides, the Samurai couldn't possibly be any significant to our cause!"

Iron Lawbringer: "They crossed our borders! What do you think they will do after all of this? Just go back to their forsaken wasteland and bid farewell? I don't think so."

Iron Captain 3: "Think about this, brothers: they are warriors with different experiences and tactics. What if they have something that we don't have that will be critical to this siege?"

Iron Captain 2: "I don't give a damn about whatever tricks the Samurai has, Captain Jorgensen. They can go and eat the leftovers of the farmers as long as they don't interfere in our plans."

There were the words that Ademar and Yana heard as they approached. Yana can understand their animosity towards her people, but she couldn't help but feel anger towards the men who spoke ill of the Samurai.

Yana saw very familiar faces among the faceless ones. Julius Salavander, (Argen) Lorderius, Amber Peltaris, and even Nevil Hardrada, all of them now in Iron Legion colors. She noticed that (Argen) showed little interest in the bickering of his officers as Julius and his officer, Jorgensen as well as a few others attempted to reason with the ones who are against the idea of working with the Samurai.
