An old clan castle belonging to members of the Oda clan branch families. This castle is located away from the city itself and more along the countryside. The castle gates are simple and wooden, and immediately through them is a sand garden with one large stone in the middle. Through the garden is the castle itself, comprised mainly of areas for sleeping and one common area. On the other side of the castle is a large area of grass, with two rows of human-sized training dummies.
A man sat in meditation in the sand garden, reciting the Kuji-In as he reflected on the actions of the day. He was interrupted mid-chant by bits of paper emerging from flames and into his hand to form a whole paper, folded in half. He unfolded it to see its contents for himself.
The letters moved and twisted to form different words from what had been stated previous. Moving from the voice of a concerned daughter writing to assure her father of her safety. To the voice of s soldier giving its report.
“I am greatly happy to report that the blue dragon can no longer draw his fang from its sheath. While the sister would have been preferable, I find the young heir wavers more on his conviction to the clan, for now I lay in their care and have taken my precautions in stepping close to the dragons heart. You may not hear from me for some time as I am about to go into deep cover. Rest assured my loyalty is undeterred.
Best wishes
~the welsh dragon”

The man had folded the paper once more, this time into quadrants. He then tucked it away under his upper garments, keeping it secure. No longer in meditation, he stood upright and ventured inside of the castle, closing the sliding door behind him.
