Fabulous! Your interpretation of the characters is excellent.

First, the scene is brilliant and well composed. I love it!! Now to analyze the scene based on my writings; The Samurai is dressed in reddish brown samurai battle armor, so it can't be Emperor Tarin, he wears the House Kitsune white armor trimmed with gold, however, the armor is trimmed in gold, so it is likely one of the Senior Princes and a Commander of one of the Samurai Legions. Either way, he is obviously guarding the little one. Now, Si is guarded by the Black Guard and they carry a Trident, so the little one can't be Si. I'm thinking it is possibly Sephin (Seph) with his father. Which would make sense that an assassination order was given, perhaps to remove the 2nd heir in line to the Imperial Throne. Now as for the Raven above him, it's not Raen, of course, the feathers are black, indicating they are actually Raven glider wings, and anyway, Raen won't be hatched for another 132 years and has brown feathers with patches of white. So, the Raven above them is from an older, more brutal time. (Much more brutal than Raen's time). However, Ravens don't kill the innocent, (unless your a First Egg, then you're fate was already sealed before you were hatched). Hence why this Raven was having such a difficult time deciding. Conclusion: It's a 50/50 chance whether this Raven will obey.

Another great render with some fantastic textures and lighting
