The Palace is situated within the central plaza of the city. Great pillars and walls adorn each side as a ramp waves through the first courtyard into the main city’s hall. Ahead of the hall is the second gate, where a barracks and a stable lean off on both sides. Beyond that is the main entrance to the palace, where guards are stationed on all sides leading into the inner throne room. There the respective governor or prefect resides, perched against the great golden throne of the cities constituency.

Here he was. This city was certainly very interesting and now he was here. His journey in China had been one that he would certainly remember for days in ages.
"Wow..." Although living in Japan for most of his life, Jiang Shen, as he was named in his travels, the twenty-one year old had never seen such marvelous architecture back home. The majority of his wandering had been done in the mountains and had passed through few cities in his three years in China. The young man had taken to adapt to the language quite well, though it was now that he was on the search to follow through with his destiny... whatever that was.
As he knew it now, young Shen was to visit the palace. He figured if he had to start somewhere, it would be here.
"Escuse me..." he said on looking to one of the guards, "If possible, I would request to see Sima Yi. My name is Jiang Shen."

"Certainly, please follow one of our fellow guards, he will escort you to our master, i'm afraid weapons drawn are forbidden in the city and when entering the masters chamber, weapons are entirely prohibited. You must then ask the palace guard to let you in."
The guard takes him through the large gate which is immediately closed. None of Shen's troops were allowed to entire the city for the time being but the guard takes Shen through the city past the hard working peasants and militia who are constantly working and conversing with eachother. The city at this moment in time was a pleasant place the people adored Sima Yi because most of the time he gave them what they needed.
"We're here, please ask one of the palace guards for an appointment..."
The guard walks away from the palace and back towards the gate marching strong with his pike in the air. The palace guard stands outside the main chambers awaiting orders. Next to him coming out is a man wearing a a green robe wearing a purple headress. He approaches Shen.
"Ah you must be looking for Sima Yi, I say this because you are different and look reletively strong!" The advisor says chuckling. "Follow me...."
Shen is then taken into the main chambers which stretch along, Sima Yi is sitting on his thrown holding a large black feathered fan waving it at his face to cool himself down towards the end of the room. Guards holding pikes are stood firmly at the walls of the chamber on either side with a large red woven rug rolled down the centre towards the throne.
"Come come....what brings you here?"

Shen had followed procedure as told.
Before he knew it, the raven-haired warrior had been met by the advisor... well, he looked like an advisor. Nothing about the green robed man looked like a warrior.
Jiang Shen kept walking along until he was taken into the main chambers. Guards were along every corner of the wall and it had certainly been the first time he had ever seen a place so majestic. Not only was this place different from others, but the advisor did say he was different. The young man was slightly conscious of the fact that he had come a long way from the east, but this journey to the west was certainly one to change his life.
"Come come... what brings you here?" A man fanning himself with black feathers spoke in his bold voice.
"I uh.... er..." Shen was a bit nervous and it would have been apparent as he tried to find something to do with his hands. But, on taking a breath and keeping his hands to his sides, he tried again. "My lord, I am Jiang Shen: A wanderer from the east. I seek a means to grow and learn more about the future that is this land... as well as where my place in it would be.
"In all honesty, I believe my journey begins here with you. As I've been told, your army is its own. In your service, perhaps I could learn more about my purpose in this great land."

Sima Yi stopped for a second to examine Shen. He then stood up and dropped his fan deliberatly to the ground. A guard ran over and removed it from infront of Sima Yi's feet. Yi then walks towards Shen with a meter distance. "I see people like you, they are loyal for life. You can learn alot from me and i'm sure I can learn alot from you too....You have alot of potential in my eyes." Sima Yi looked delighted this man wanted to enter his ranks. He seemed that Shen would be trustworthy and could come in use to his ranks in the future. "You are accepted into my ranks as an Officer, please make yourself at home. Theres also some unoccupied housing in Xia Pi. I've kept accomodation for newly aquired officers. Please accept this as a gift. You may reside here until further notice. Thankyou for this!" Sima Yi bows lightly then returns to his throne a guard then escorts him out of the chamber on to the main streets of Xia Pi. Allowing Shen to do whatever he wants next. (Add Shen to my Ranks )

She gracefully steps around the people her gaze content. She looks around walking through the busy streets, as her soft tone spoke "this is very different". Once through the busy crowd her gaze cast upon the guards, she walked towards them her silks dancing in the wind she stopped before them speaking soft and suttle "Whom do i speak with about joining the cause for you, all" she asked confusing herself slightly. As the wind continued blwoing her silks around.
((ooc sorry i may be real bad for a little bit))

The guard opens the gates quick;y and allows her to enter.
"Because of the master looking for new strength for his forces he has opened up a sign up booth. Just go over there sign your name and then youll be entered into our ranks. If you wish to seek audience with the master after that please go to the main palace enterance and speak with the guard there, he will take you in but it isn't entirely nessasary"
The guard walks inside the gate and expects Da Qiao to follow him to the sign up booth. There is a table with a large piece of parchment and a caligraphy brush. New militants are signing up for the forces there.

She smiles to herself nodding to the guard "Thank-you very much". She takes a step and follows him to the forms looking down sighning her name along the form in careful time taken letters. "an audience?" im not quite sure it would be needed.......but i have never met your charge......" She turns around looking around herself.

"You will meet our great lord soon anyway, theres been talk of plans lately. I expect that he will show his face soon."
The guard smiles and walks over to the signing booth and discusses some things with the guard before returning and nodding to Da Qiao.
"Everythings perfect you've been accepted. We think you will be a great asset to the new age of Jin...As you know these are times of Chaos and Wei is becoming more corrupt and violent by the minute, do you think you have what it takes to better these lands?"

"Welcome to Jin, please make yourself at home within this city of Xia Pi!" The guard laughed lightly then walked away and carried on with his duties. The weather was warm, cherry blossoms fell from the trees and the children played out in the streets running around. Sima Yi was inside his chambers working on what Jin would plot next. A new age had come among the people of Jin. ((WELCOME TO THE RANKS, YOULL BE ADDED SOON ))
