Amara stared at the stiff corpse of her father. Unlike yesterday where it appeared to be warm, it's now ghostly pale under the light of the morning sun falling through the close wooden windows.
His older brothers Rin Jinbo and Dai Ogawara both stood at the doorway of the chief's room. They received the news of the patriarch's assassination and quickly marches to the castle.
Amara has stayed awake in his father's room since last night when she was called to the council. Fully aware of her father's yokai blood, she believed he would wake up from his mortal wound like it was nothing. Ohara checked up on her early morning and asked her if she wanted a meal but she refused to move from his position and requested not to open the windows.
"This is impossible!!!" Rin exclaimed, stepping hurriedly inside the room and kneeling in front of the dreadful carcass of their father.
