=== Heigai's Death ===
Morihiko again was yojimbo to Isawa Mizuhiko, and both moved to Lion lands near the Castle of the Swift Sword, in the Tensai's quest for Dark Oracles. Matsu Sasake let them to enter after he surveyed their travel papers. The monk Heigai, formerly known as Akodo Ginawa, had requested Mizuhiko's presence. Eventually Heigai challenged and died in a duel with Mizuhiko, trying that the tensai surrender the blade. Mizuhiko realized that Ambition had to be destroyed, so he and Morihiko journeyed far to the north, outside the bounds of the Empire, to break the blade down, expecting to destroy it with molten earth.

=== Matsu Turi's Death ===
Sasake accompanied Mizuhiko and Morihiko on their leaving from Lion lands. While Morihiko was the sparring of Sasake in a bokken training, the Lion unleashed such damage to the yojimbo that earned the wrath of Mizuhiko. Morihiko had realized that instead Sasake the man who was striking him was Matsu Turi, the Dark Oracle of Water. Mizuhiko struck Turi with a bo, so the Dark Oracle was free to use the Gohei's Daisho to draw a killing blow to the Tensai. Instead of killing him the man was transformed by the bloodsword Judgement in another being, Handan, who exacted the death of Turi, and disappeared. Judgment, Part 2, by Lucas Twyman
