The beating of the bird's wings woke Kuan-Yin from a short nap, an-unexpected occurrence, but not a rare one. The young bird was carrying a scroll in it's claws, which was an outdated way to send a messege, to a scholar's mind at least, but Kuan-Yin's friend, Po was an outdated scholar. Even though he could easily have invoked a Wind specialist into transporting a letter, Po would never use magic in such a vulgar manner. He was a fool, and yet wise beyond tell. It was odd, but that was the norm among scholars. Brilliant and yet idiotic. Most did not have the grace of a Feng, but in the end, it was what they studied made them scholars, not how.
After a few moments of considerations, Kuan-Yin raised his arm towards the bird's claws, and the impatient bird simply dropped the scroll, and flew away, looking somewhat tired. It did not bother Kuan-Yin, who picked up the scroll, and opened it. The letter was a short one, informing Kuan-Yin of a recent finding in the old manuscripts of a reference to the Arts and the Feng family. It was probably an unimportant and trivial detail, but it was some sort of information, and information is always important. This is what sent Kuan-Yin to Yu, not the empresses' speech, simply a response to his friend's request.
Once Kuan-Yin arrived in Yu, he immediatley headed towards an inn, and payed for a room with his coin. The inn was where he met, sometimes in secret, sometimes in public, with other scholars to discuss the forbidden and the permitted. This time was no exception, and Po arrived at the same inn, at the same night, as the two always did. They had small talk, they expressed their hopes and aspirations, and then opened up the manuscripts the referenced the dark arts. It was a waste of time, unfortunately, as nothing really new was found, but it had solidified a few theories the two had. Kuan-Yin, however, knew something was up.
βPo, why did you send to me for this? We don't meet for the insignificant stuff.β Kuan-Yin expressed, looking at his friend, inquisitively. Of course, Po nodded, and began to express his true reason for the meeting.
βThings are changing in the empire, Kuan-Yin. And yes, I know that you aren't interested in polotics, but I've seen your brother in the area recently. Big things are happening, and we in Yu need you rather then your brother as the Feng representative.β Po says, stressig the fact that the brother of Kuan-Yin had arrived in the area. At that point in time, Kuan-Yin realized the seriousness of the situation. His brother was not a good man, and it could be disastrous if he does something in the region.
Kuan-Yin then nodded, and went outside to order his retainers to inform the family that he would be in Yu for a while.
