Winter Court - 1122
In 1122 Haruki was the Head of the Phoenix delegation in the Imperial Winter Court at Kyūden Doji. There an Imperial Herald presented a 12 year old orphan, Masayo, daughter of a Dragon warriror and a Phoenix shugenja. The child had a great affinity with the elements and both clans claimed her for their clan. Kazuya believed Masayo was the child spoken of in the Hinokami Prophecy, destined to become a powerful shugenja, and would one day confront a tremendous creature wreathed in flame, sent to destroy the Dragon and their lands. Kazuya offered to adopt Masayo, while Haruki worked to bring the child into the Phoenix Clan.
