In this hour of need, it seems crucial I make my presence known. It was not CountArach I was looking for. So far, my calls have gone unheard. The right man, I hope, will know what to do.

Dagger, plunge my heart
Death, cloak my mind in darkness
Soul, fly to my love

Senryu, not Haiku
Lament my early demise
Samurai: fight, win

Night 8 - Conclusion

Hour of the Boar

Kato Danzo was meditating on his bamboo mat. He could sit on it for hours contemplating the meaning of power. Real power. Ultimate power. The power of life and death. Occasionally, he took a nibble from the bowl of rice in front of him.

A masked warrior entered his tent and fell prone on the floor.

“Sensei,” the warrior uttered, “the hour has come near. We seek your guidance.”

Kato paused for a second and replied, “A wise man once said, strength is not found in skill in battle, it is found in wisdom...”

He reached into the folds of his kimono, and pulled out a handful of dust. With a wave of his hand, he sprinkled it over the rice bowl and pushed the bowl towards his student. The student quickly snatched the bowl of rice, bowed, and began to retreat from the tent.

Kato held up his hand and said “I have one more gift for you, an old curio from Tanegashima…”

He reached into his black chest and pulled out a long object wrapped in cloth.

You are the spirit warrior. The master over life and death. You sleep by day, wander by night.

You are your own Lord. You live to serve only yourself.

In your youth, your life was saved by Takeda Shingen. Your hounour commands you to repay your debt. Only when you achieve this, will your spirit walk free.
