~~~ Swords in the Moon ~~~

Day 2 - Conclusion

Hour of the Monkey

" Snow slowly fell down
" I tried to grab it quickly
" and then it was gone

Saruwatari Taiki (Sigurd) put down the pencil. The sheer beauty of the moment brought him to tears. Tears of happiness. He bowed deeply for his master before slowly rolling up the parchment and sealing it. Calmly he turned to his comrades and smiled at those good men gathered in the courtyard.
Saruwatari took the clean knife that was on the white cushion in front of him.

The last rays of sunlight flickered on the steel.

The condemned man looked up and watched the sky. He then lowered his eyes to enjoy the scenery of the mountains one last time.

After a long, deep breath, he opened his white kimono a bit and placed the sharp knife into position. His face remained emotionless when it pierced through the skin into his flesh. Before he could lose his selfcontrol, the sword of his kaishakuninended his life.

Takeda nodded respectfully to the body of Saruwatari Taiki, stood up and left, without adding any comment.
