Lord Shen's cousins, even though they were far from the family's firstborn, as they did not live in the same city as him, especially after the fight between the peacock and the Dragon Warrior, decided to distance themselves so as not to tarnish the true legacy of honor and prosperity, of the royal family, even more so after Lord Liang's letter revealed the existence of the disinherited prince, a brother in Japan, and a half-brother with a royal peahen from a city not far from Gongmen, Mendong.

But it did not stop them from receiving letters from Lord Liang, nor from exchanging letters among themselves, some begging Shen not to go the gunpowder path, others also wishing that he would not return to Gongmen to reconquer it or in the last case even so that it would not invade the Forbidden City, but over the years the tone of the letters changed to the point of a family meeting for the first time with everyone gathered in the Forbidden City, to discuss, among other matters, how they would manage the four imperial cities belonging to to peacocks: Mendong, Gongmen, Yan Yin and Beijing.

Lord Shen, always the most meticulous and strategic of the family, in preparation for the trip he would take with his brothers Lord Xiang and Lord Dao, immediately sent the 'accepted', confirming that he would meet with his other brothers, instructing Takeo, the The legitimate secretary of the royal family is in charge of sending the letter, while Karasu assists Shen in preparation for the brothers' departure towards the Forbidden City.

Far from the high mountains, which his first long journey had brought him, the paths to the Forbidden City were much flatter, and even passing through the interior of China, the slopes of the valleys were better traversed than the mountain ranges from Mendong to Gongmen, for example. .

Even more than being a peacock, Shen took advantage of the hottest thermal temperatures between the valleys, with Shen being the phoenix of ancient prophecies of time immemorial as well, to soar much further than he could, especially when there were rainy times, but obviously not much close to the travelers, with Karasu being a master of elementary lightning Chi, who even though he did not accompany them on this trip, gave Shen his sword Masamune, so that they could deflect said lightning, both training and learning the techniques of both birds after so many years of brotherhood, especially since he met the Nine team, and the members of To Go too, didn't worry as much about these atmospheric issues.

After 2 of the 5 days of travel, almost entering the third, watching the sunset, setting in the Valley of Peace, with the peacock brothers and Takeo, leaving Shen at ease, sheathing his sword, 'talking' spiritually with the Chi From his crow friend, the samurai asks the now noble phoenix what he expects from the reception of his brothers in the imperial center of the country.

Shen: After everything we've been through, I felt their presence even during our journeys, and also on mine when I met my two brothers. I believe that in addition to wanting to be sure that I would not betray what was written in my father's letters, about the continuity of the empire and in the revelations of my brothers' existence, they also obviously made sure that I did not invade Beijing or Mendong either, remembering that Yan Yin built it for my wife.

Karasu: With you defending and ensuring that you fulfill the promises in the letters, you also affirmed yourself in your self-surrender after everything you suffered, went through and did, may my sword continue to guide you brother.
