I was thinking fleetingly of the first time I'd crossed the bridge at Hagi when I saw a drowned Heron floating in the water, its gray and white feathers waterlogged, all it's gracefulness crumpled and broken. The sight of it chilled me. I thought it was a terrible omen. "(Hearn 157).
I'm about 65% through the story, and so far the plot seems to be pretty straightforward. The passage seems to be foreshadow for bad things to come, as the characters are going into the territory of an enemy for a 'peace' marriage. The Protagonist is 'in love' with his adopted father's, Lord Shiguru, forced arranged marriage wife. Which is slightly ironic because the Shiguro is secretly in love with another woman he cannot marry. I think I have a pretty much understand the plot so far. It's pretty straightforward, and no real confusing things.
1 .Is there is going to be a revolt of the people who consider themselves Otori?
2.What does Iida has planned for the protagonist and his company when they arrive at yagahara?

You may want to proofread your entry -- they are not very long, so you should probably try to make them make sense. 6/10
