Guest shadowmatrix Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hey this an original story that I decided to make an open ended story for the fans. Come check out my otaku website for the full story. Just look for Shadowmatrix as the username. Chapter 1: A Cursed Path ?Endless enemies, countless slain,? a bloodstained samurai stands amid the bodies of several slain fighters. The samurai leaves the site of the battle. ?There he is!? a general shouts as the samurai passes by. The samurai runs into the forest and escapes the pursuit of the army. ***************************************************************************************** The samurai walks into the small town of Tsuyoku. ?Hello! Hello!? he calls out. The townspeople look at him funny. A little girl walks up to him. ?Hi. I?m Saia, What?s your name?? the little girl asks as the samurai crouches down to her level. ?I?m Shuyin and I am looking for a place to eat. I have no money though.? the girl grabs his hand and leads him to a restaurant. ?This is my mother?s restaurant.? Saia says as she leads him in. ?Mommy! I brought a customer!? Her mom rushes out to serve Shuyin. ?I am Maria, owner of the Tsuyoku Kitchen.? the lady says. ?You look like you could us a hot bowl of rice.? ?Oh but I have no money.? Shuyin defensively declares. He stands up to leave. ?Tell ya what, this meal?s on the house.? Maria states. She goes back and gets a bowl of rice for him. Saia goes to the outside of the restaurant and Maria returns to confront him. ?I told you to never come back.? Shuyin looks up, ?I?m on the run and I?m on a mission. I won?t linger long.? ?You had to go on that cursed path, a killing spree. For what?! Bloodstains and Revenge?? Maria shouts. Shuyin puts his head down. ?I?m sorry, I?m just sorry.? He gets out of his chair and leaves. ?Sorry? You?re sorry? All of the pain you put me through and all you can say is sorry?? she vents. Shuyin looks her dead in the eyes with a deep look of remorse. ?I am sorry.? He walks out and leaves Tsuyoku. Outside of Tsuyoku, he realizes that Maria is right. ?Maybe I am on a cursed path. I have to find a way to quit killing because the curse on this path is strong.? He locks his sword in his sheath. **************************************************************************************** Framework: Can someone create 2 companion characters. How does he atone for his sins. Does he ever stop killing. Things on that line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadowmatrix Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Path 2: Misath the Lost One Shuyin walks along a dirt path where he finds a person standing in the way, ?Uh, are you okay? Hello?? The other person looks at him dazed. ?I am Misath. Leave, leave me to rest.? The person says. He resumes looking up in the sky. Shuyin thinks, ?Is it possible that he is a lingering spirit, clinging to this world?? He reaches out to touch the spirit but his hand passes straight through. ?It is true. The Legend of Misath the Lost One is true.? ?Will you help me? There is something that I must attend to in this realm.? Misath asks. ?I want to see someone. In Kudo Town.? Shuyin studies him for a moment and nods in agreement. They walk down the path to Kudo Town. ? What exactly are you looking for.? A building, person, picture. It is imperative that you supply me with more details. I have business of my own to attend to.? Misath replies, ?My son, I foresaw danger in his future. I need someone to help him and you are that person.? They look down alley after alley in search of his son. ?Down there. Someone is beimg attacked,? Misath again stands lost and Shuyin runs down the hill and stands there. ?STOP!!!? Three guys dressed in black turn to face Shuyin. ?Misath?? the regular guy looks at the ghost. ?Father? How is it that your spirit didn?t pass to another realm.? The three robbers attack Shuyin. ?HAHHHH!!!? the robbers shout as they run up towards Shuyin. Shuyin reaches to his sword. ?Drat, I locked it.? Shuyin declares. He knees the first guy hard in the stomach, uppercuts the second guy, and kicks the fat guy in the knee. Shuyin frees Misath?s son and Misath blindly wanders down the hill. ?Okubo, good luck in life,? Misath says as he disappears into the light. ?Father! Father! Come back!? Okubo hollers. ****************************************************************************************** Chapter 2 complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shadowmatrix Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Path 3: Sanji Miro the Blacksmith Shuyin walks across a bridge where he spots a hut. ?Hmmm. Guess I?ll have to talk my way into residing here for the night. ?CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!? the sound of metal resonates through the area. ?Hello?!? Is presume that there is a blacksmith around?? An old man walks out. He looks Shuyin up and down. ?Whaddya want, botherin an old man. In my day, we knocked on people?s doors. Now who ye be?? the old man asks. Shuyin looks at him odd. ?Who ye be, huh. I am Shuyin and I am looking for a blacksmith.? He walks up to him. ?Are you Sanji Miro, the Legendary Blacksmith?? Sanji replies, ?So what if I be. I don?t make swords anymore.? He fixes his eyes at Shuyin?s sword. ?Unless you?re here for the spell.? Shuyin looks stunned, ?How?d you know.? ?I?ve seen my fair share of swordsman.? Sanji replies. ?Come inside young one, come inside.? They walk into the hut to the fire and brimstone of a blacksmith?s hut. Shuyin looks around, ?So. You have had your fair share of swordfights. What made you quit?? To the constant clanging of metal to metal, Sanji Miro begins speaking. ? I?ve seen my fair share of death and I?ve had my fair share of injuries. I quit becuase of the mental stress I was burdened with. The stress was immeasurable. You seem to like the fighting, but not the killing. That?s how I knew you wanted the spell.? Shuyin replies, ?But most swordsmen have some trigger incident that makes them abandon the Way of the Samurai.? ?Look young blood. Once a samurai. Always a samurai. Now I just explained that I quit because I couldn?t handle that lifestyle.? Sanji states Shuyin looks away, ?Oh? Sanji hand him his sword. ?Thanks.? He hastily leaves the area in the middle of the night. Sanji stands in his hut alone, ?He?ll make a big difference in the world.? ************************************************************************ Bloodstains and Revenge covers two stories. 1. Shuyin as a killer on the run five years ago. 2. The present-day life struggles with his past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
