Started this drawing bc i wanted to draw Eiko's coat... And it evolved into this.

Someone offscreen is probably shouting at her, begging her to come back to the palace from where she eloped. Court life is boring, she misses horse riding in the plains of Unicorn lands.

OC kiss- Day 4 (Reunion)

At the end of her long journey, finally having earned some well deserved rest, Sakurako returns to where it all began, and where it all will end.

Sakurako and Akira are from our L5R campaign that we were never able to finish, so some artistic liberties have been taken related to the end of the tale.

The mask on her face and the mon upon her neck felt heavier than they ever had before as Sakurako handed her traveling papers over to the Scorpion at the gate leading into Shosuro lands. Her long journey was finally reaching its end, as was the reserves of energy she had remaining after the final stretch of the search for the Tanaka Twelve had taken so much out of everyone involved. Her left arm hung limply in its sleeve, the bones in her hand still not fully healed, and the young samurai wasn't entirely sure they ever would. “Welcome home, Shosuro-san.” Sakurako didn't recognize the voice of the Scorpion samurai, but the wedding last winter had been such an event that much of the Shosuro clan already knew of the Daimyo’s new wife.

“Thank you. Would you happen to know if the Lord is present at the castle or if she is away?” Sakurako shook ever so slightly as she spoke, but if the other noticed they did not speak of it. Sakurako was anxious, knowing fully well that the moment she returned to the Castle, she would be leaving the line of duty, and she wasn't sure she was fully ready for that. There was much she wanted to see, much she wanted to accomplish, but her health had rapidly begun to decline in the last leg of her duty to Yuki-sama. Sakurako had to retire so she would have those final years to spend with her wife, she owed her that much.

A nod came from the samurai guarding the entrance of the castle town, affirming that Akira was still present. “Shosuro-sama was quite intent on meeting you here herself, but after much convincing is awaiting your arrival at Shiro no Shosuro. Do you require an escort, Shosuro-san?” Though their expression was obscured by their mask, it was clear that the samurai was staring at Sakurako’s form shaking in the wind as if she would fall over at any moment.

Sakurako was a proud woman, fiercely independent and hated when others pitied her. However she knew how far she could push her body, and was well aware that she was reaching that limit. “Yes, please.” The trek uphill to the Castle she would soon call her home was much easier on horseback than it would have been on foot, as well as being far safer than if she had been alone. It was not long before she dismounted the offered pony and stood at the bottom of the steps of castle Shiro no Shosuro. Bowing and giving her thanks to the departing guard, Sakurako began the long trek up the steps, her thoughts drifting to the journey that brought her finally back here, finally back home. 

To her surprise, by the time she was halfway up the stairs she felt a presence by her side, guiding her upward. Her eyes flicked over to her new companion, a taller woman adorned in a black and red kimono with a frightening red oni mask. No words were exchanged by the two women as Sakurako leaned into her fellow, allowing herself to be aided up the stairs. She felt a strong but gentle arm holding her by the shoulders as they reached the top and the door was opened by an attendant before either of them even spoke to be allowed inside. Aided inside, Sakurako let out a soft sigh as the door shut behind them. Sakurako’s traveling pack was plucked from her back by the elder samurai and handed off to an attendant as the woman in the oni mask took her hand and led her further into the castle, the two only stopping when the door to the daimyo’s bedroom slid shut behind them. “Sakurako-chan, when I read your last letter, I feared I had lost you.”

Sakurako slid off her mask before reaching up to do the same to the elder Samurai. If it were anyone else doing this, it would be rude, improper and they’d likely lose their hand if not more. Piercing blue eyes stared down silently as the mask was removed as the two were face to face for only the second time ever. “You haven’t, and you won’t. Even when my body can move no more…” Sakurako turned away to cough into her sleeve, distinct red droplets left behind as a stark reminder of their limited time together. “I will always be yours, my lord, my Daimyo, my wife.” As Sakurako stepped onto the tips of her toes and Akira leaned down to allow her to reach, the two shared the first kiss of the rest of their lives together.

Have you played LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS ?

By John Zinser, Dave Seay, Ryan Dancey, Dave Williams, DJ Trindle, Matt Wilson and John Wick

Rokugan.

Mortal schemes, natural calamities, and celestial turmoil alike have disrupted the political, military, and spiritual equilibrium of the land. Long-simmering rivalries and fresh betrayals ripple through the courts and on the battlefield. The Chrysanthemum Throne is beset by threats from without and within, and the honor of the seven Great Clans shall be put to the test.

Who among the clans will prove strong enough to guide Rokugan in these tumultuous times? Will their names be lifted up beside those of the honored ancestors, or will they fall among the ranks of the empire’s most infamous villains?

Commission of Utaku warrior :D I still love L5R even if I post less of it lately

[disgruntledexplainer]

you can tell a lot about the writer of a ttrpg writer based on how he portrays religion in his books.

My last posts have been about my new L5R character, Moshibaru Korekuta and this one is no different. Born a peasant, she underwent a 20 Goblin Winter; bringing back 20 goblin heads from over The Wall to prove her worth and become a proper samurai. While out in the Shadowlands she came into possession of a fallen samurai's wakizashi, which later became the key to getting adopted into bigger samurai family.
