The Herald spends a moment longer looking King over. Then, it's like he decides the diminutive foe isn't worth the effort, and he jump down from the walls. He lands with surprising grace, as the force of impact shatters the tiles beneath his feet. He then stands without much effort, as if the fall had been a short one. He knew that the other Dragon Guard would be too busy dealing with Yamato no Orochi to pay much attention to the newly arrived warrior, but his shouting clearly marked him as a threat to the emperor. The Herald sprinted across the muddy shore, before arriving at Ham's location.

Ham would find himself faced by the strange samurai, whom he might recognize as a member of the Dragon Guard. The samurai looked over his opponent, his helmet moving slightly. Then, as if coming to a conclusion, he raised three fingers in the air. Of course, Ham would have no idea what this signal meant, but his understanding was hardly necessary. The terms were set. The Herald raised a hand and made a beckoning motion, even as he moved into a generic martial arts stance, not dedicated to any particular style. Once more he refused to draw the two katana on his back, for some unknown reason.
