== Settling a Dispute ==
In 1123 Tsubame joined Kitsuki Kāgi, an Emerald Magistrate, and Shosuro Aishi, a Scorpion representative, in a travel to the Castle of the Swift Sword. Kāgi had been appointed to settle the Scorpion claim regarding the rights of a diamond-rich mine the Unicorn promised in exchange for the Scorpion's aid during the Battle of Snow Plain in 820. Tsubame was descendant of Shinjo Kamu, the general who won the battle due to Imperial intervention, and she believed that she could negotiate a win for the Unicorn, her clan might consider giving her greater responsibility. A group of samurai had been summoned to the Akodo War College at the behest of the acting Emerald Champion, Agasha Sumiko, to gather information regarding the dispute, and report it to Kāgi. Once Kāgi arrived to the castle, the samurai reported that Shosuro Amane, Aishi's direct ancestor, had manipulated the records of the battle, so the battle would be recorded as a Unicorn win that was accomplished due to Scorpion aid.
