We sent it back from whence it came, but are forever changed by the experience.

With the Mantis soon to be out of the picture, the Crane will likely have to bear the brunt of any attacks from the sea, unless the Crab + Mantis remnants step their activity in the Sea of Shadows.

Re: Spring 2015 Kotei Fiction - Day 5
Since I was pretty negative about the last two Crane Kotei fictions, I feel I should say - I liked this 
I particularly liked seeing Makoto show a side that we haven't seen before. And I'm very curious what's up with those kids... "But no mothers." Did their mothers die in this attack? (I kind of hope not - I would find it more interesting if Makoto's distress was just at the sight of his lands and vassals being attacked like this, rather than needing his own family to be hit - but that feels like the implication to me.) Very interested to know more.

Families DID die in the attack, but not Makoto's.
Apologies for this, but it is a matter of not knowing which fictions will be worked up for the public before others. You WILL see some direct information on Makoto et al in the Crane Clan Letter as soon as it is out.

Re: Spring 2015 Kotei Fiction - Day 5
Great stuff! I am very happy to see Akeha in action and I can't wait to know more on the next generation of the Champion's line. Speaking of the menace from the sea, I wonder what could be the meaning of the final sentence of this fiction:
“Our lives unfolded beneath a flimsy veil of peace, as if we could sense this was a time of change. As fish swimming blindly in the stream, we could only sense what lay ahead of us in the winding currents of time. As we bickered and grabbed and mobilized, laying our stones across the board, our backs were towards our true opponent, the true threat. May our children forgive us. We were doing exactly as it wanted…”
It sounds like this incursion was only a diversion. In any event, I might need to watch Pacific Rim another time to have an idea of the beast?
