The sun had begun to set that night. I had started out on my journey to the Tokuno Islands. I must find the soul of the samurai that had imprisioned my father and destroy it. Before heading out though I must find some new clothes these torn and decaying rags I now where will make me stick out. Searching through the remains of my closet I came across a dark red robe and faded green cloak I quickly rip the old ones off my body , to find the armor I wore long ago still intact and strong as can be as if imbued with magical powers the tunic stiff and hard the sleeves dulled out to a shadow black the legs still dark green but completely intact as if they renewed as I lay in a state of unconsciousness. Under a pile of debris from the roof I found a Kasa faded to a grey green but still in one piece so I tossed that on and head out the door. I traveled to Luna on foot to hit the moongate and make the jump out to Makato. I moved quickly staying in the shadows of the trees to avoid being seen. Ducking around trees when I heard voices or noises the trip went quickly . Once in Luna I made a dash for the gate knowing at any moment someone I once knew may happen to cross my path. Once in the gate I chose quickly the Makato rune and jump through.


By now the sun had set and darkness had settled in . Shadows were everywhere caused by the street lamps and the lanterns on the buildings . I walked slowly and cautiously along the edge of the road keeping the kasa down over my face and only breifly looking up when a person passed to see if I could find in the eyes of the passer-by the soul I sought. As I approached the bank I could see a large crowd standing on the deck area . They were all around a small man listening intently to what he was saying. I approached the group and a strange feeling passed over me . A man of small stature was looking at me as if he knew me . The sheild in his hand looked very strange. It had not the flowing staight tops once known by me . Slowly the man approached and placed his sheild in his bag and pulled an axe. I reached my hand into my robe and grasped the handle of my blade. From a few feet away the man looked at me I looked away and he aproached closer .

"You there " he said " you dont belong here , leave at once or I shall make you" . Looking at him I saw he wasnt sure of his words. I pulled out my blade and my sheild from my bag and stepped back the words
consecretus armus flew out of his mouth and he moved towards me. I then yelled out divinium furous and consecretus armus and moved towards him. My blade and his axe clashed and we both fell back a step and charged again this time his axe sliced me across the arm . I looked down yet no blood came from the wound . Could it be I have no blood in my body? I then looked up at him and charged driveing my blade though his chest after a few short moments he fell to the ground unconscious. I then looked around everyone was watching me . I placed my sword back inside my robe and my sheild back in my bag."My appologies , for he attacked first I mean no trouble here"

The old man they were all surrounding then approached me . I held my head low and avoided eye contact . I recognized the man by his voice he was one who I had known before , His name Tai Kwan Leap , I did not wish for him to recognize me for I had been gone for so long, everyone thought I was dead.Carefully I raised my head slightly just enough to see his eyes. This was the samurai that I sought , this is the man who has the soul of the ancient samurai warrior in him. I now know who it is I must kill . He is well liked and tring to get him alone to kill him when no one else can step in to save him will be difficult . I must find his weakness the one thing I can get him away from everyone else for....

Cautiously I stepped back, by then the one who challenged me was coming to . I knew it was time for me to leave. quickly I made my way back to the gate , before stepping in I turned back one last time to make sure I was not followed . No one was there i made the jump back back to Luna . Once back I proceeded quickly back to my house . I must prepare for what I need to do and plan how I will get him alone
