When the message arrived she was preparing for yet another meeting with yet another matchmaker. Her family was insistent that she find a husband that would help improve their standing in the ever shifting courts of the Emerald Empire. Thus far, every match seemed to end in disaster. Either the potential suitor was ill-fated by the matchmaker's divining, the other family backed out, or the suitor gave reason for Hikari to issue a duel. It wasn't her fault that so many suitors could not best her. And just as many seemed entirely disinterested in the idea of being bested by their potential bride.<br/><br/>While there was the Lion lands between Hikari and the Topaz Tournament of the Crane, she was able to make it with fairly decent ease. The hardest part of the journey was having to leave her grandparent's abode, staying with them for a day while she rested from travel. Still, with time taken for the journey, Hikari was amazed to arrive when she did, finding the festivities not yet entirely begun.<br/><br/>Hikari made her way into the sake house, taking note of who within would appear to be capable duelists. Finding two others who seemed to be waiting for someone, Hikari sat between them. She preferred a simple glass of water, sake had a nasty way of dulling judgement if one was not too careful, and ordered a small bowl of rice.<strong>"The carp swims upon many rivers, his journey finding himself in many lands. I would hazard we wait for the same person? If you allow, let me introduce myself. I have Mirumoto Hikari of the Dragon."</strong>
