A few weeks later Kiyoshi finds himself knee-deep in mud and sludge as he journeys across swamp waters to reach his new mission. As gas bubbles form on the surface of the swamp water burst into malodours, the smell of toxins and decay fills the air. The croaking of dozens of frogs fills the air with such substandard melodies it almost drove the samurai mad hearing it. The water was so thick and dark that visibility was impossible.
"What group of people choose to live in such a place?" Kiyoshi thought to himself as he traverse the wasteland. Outside the swamp, Kiyoshi finds a small pond. The water wasn't one hundred percent clean. But it would have to do to wash the mud off the samurai's clothing. As his clothes dry on some nearby trees. Kiyoshi relaxes on a rock as Lilly asks him what their new mission entails.
"Am not sure, all master told me is that it should be a simple mission and that I would get all the info from the client," remarked Kiyoshi. "I wo
At the break of dawn, the next morning the day Madoka and the other warriors gather themselves to escort Cheyenne. As the men prepare themselves, Kiyoshi rises from his position to prepare himself as well. Enyeto appears and summons Kiyoshi to meet with other members of Cheyenne's escort party. There were ten members of the group, including Madoka himself. "Samurai this is the men that you will accompany on your mission to protect my daughter", expressed Eneyto. "These are the finest warriors we could spare. I know you know Madoka already, but we also have his brother Doma and his right-hand man, Kiba," remarked Enyeto. The men greeted Kiyoshi before being interrupted by Madoka, who was ready to leave. One man brought a white horse as Cheyenne appears from her tent. She approaches her father as she prepares to leave. "My dearest Cheyenne, I am so proud of you, my child. Please take care of yourself and try to make the best of it until we meet again." Expressed Enyeto
"Am sorry it had to come to this Cheyenne," remarked Kiba as the Medike warriors close in on her and Kiyoshi. "What is the meaning of this Kiba? And where is Madoka, Doma, and everyone else?" asked Cheyenne confused as to why this is happening. "Everyone beside Madoka and myself are dead," replied Kiba. "Why?" asked Cheyenne. "Coup!" shouted Kiyoshi."A revolution, nothing as senseless as a coup," replied Kiba, angered by Kiyoshi's words. "A revolution. What do you mean Kiba?" cried Cheyenne as she backs away from him. "Far too long princess. Have we been the weakest tribe in the land. Far too long have we been oppressed. Far too long have we been led by a chief that rather use his own daughter than strengthen his people. Now we have the chance to make our people great. Madoka will lead us to a new day a better day Cheyenne." Declared Kiba."You're mad. You and Madoka are mad." Where is Doma? He would never allow this!" cried Cheyenne as she comes to terms with Kiba's
"I made it in time," remarked Kiyoshi as he stands behind Madoka, catching his breath as his eyes fade from red to gray. "Samurai!" shouted both Madoka and Enyeto in disbelief as Kiyoshi stands before them. "What are you doing here, samurai? Where is Cheyenne? Is she safe?" expressed Enyeto who was concerned for his whereabouts and safety."She perfect! She is with some friends of mine that will make sure nothing happens to her. While I come here to take out the trash," remarked Kiyoshi as he look at Madoka with a nefarious look on his face. "Thank you, samurai. At least someone can be trusted. Now Madoka, stand down. Enough blood has been shed." Shouted Enyeto, whose confidence grew with Kiyoshi being present."You think just because the samurai is here, you won? I still have the Medikes with me. Now kill him" Command Madoka. But no one responded, confused. Madoka turns around to see the lifeless bodies of the Medike warriors on the ground. "When I said I made it in t
The next day Kiyoshi finds himself in a place called the Enchanted Forest. Which was given the name because of the mystical creatures that inhabit the forest. From Centaurs to pixies, a lot of mystical and rare creatures call this forest their home. A Kiyoshi tracks through the heavily dense forest he remembers Sairon's words. "This mission is of the utmost importance. You need to leave now and make sure no one sees you." were the last words his master spoke to him before making him, head out with such speed. "I wonder what is so important that master made me come here in such a hurry. No worries, I find out soon enough. Remarked Kiyoshi to himself.The trail of the forest was packed with dense bushes and vines with bright red flowers with made it hard for Kiyoshi to traverse through. At the side of the trails in the densest parts of the forest, Kiyoshi could spot various creatures looking at him with curiosity as they can sense that he is human, but not quite.As he c
Outside of the enchanted forest, Kiyoshi looks at his hand to get directions for their destination. A holographic red map soon appears above his hand. At the end of the map, a bright yellow light projects from it. "This must be our destination," remarked Kiyoshi as he surveys the map." Looks like we have to move fast if we are to reach there in time." Remarked Lilly, who walked behind Kiyoshi dressed in the robe that Giang had given him a few months ago.As the pair continued to travel, Lilly couldn't help but marvel at the egg's uniqueness and beauty."What a beauty can't wait for it to." But before Lilly can finish her sentence, two men ambushed them. Two men, one in blue ronin outfit with two swords attached to his waist. His skin was pale and his hair was a bright purple. His green eyes gave off an iniquitous look as he smoked his cigarette. The next man wore a grey cloak and underneath it, Kiyoshi could see a blade attached to a chain in his hands. His hellish red
Early the next morning, the two stroll through a densely packed jungle as they make their way to their destination. The jungle was thick and full of life as the pair could hear various and marvelous sounds coming from every direction. Hours passed and their movements through the jungle seemed to have no end in sight. In frustration at the endless traversing, Lilly looks up into the sky and notices something strange.Wooden houses littered the treetops with poorly made bridges of vine and sticks connecting them. "Strange looks like an entire village up there," Lilly proclaimed as she looks on in curiosity. But before Kiyoshi could look up, there were surrounded. Little brown skin people covered the trees with at least one hundred of them being present. Huge brownish-black oval masks with blue, red, and orange patterns covered their faces and bodies. Their masks were so huge that only their arms and legs could be visible. The strange miniature people quickly enclosed Kiyoshi an
The two arrived in the fishing village of Nghe'o. A poor fishing village with a small community of no more than two hundred people. The village was filled with dilapidated wooden shacks and structures that littered the shoreline of the sea. Only a few structures were built on land as ninety-five percent of the population were fishers as even the soil quality was poor and hardly anything grew besides weeds. The villagers, even though poor, looked contented and even happy with their quality of life as the children run and play in the streets. The women gossip and cook in their homes and the men pull in fish from their small wooden boats. Most of them wore brown torn pieces of clothing weaved together to make clothing.The pair quickly braced fishermen to escort them to their location. But all of them refused, stating that the journey was too dangerous to take the job. Only one man was willing to take Kiyoshi and Lilly up on their offer. A man by the name of Bach, a middle-aged
As the figure came closer, the gang could see that it was a man of Caucasian descent who had on a bright blue and green tropical shirt and camo shorts. With the stranger, feet away from Kiyoshi and Lilly, Negesi, with an amazing burst of speed, dashes over to the strange and braces them with warmth and adoration. Kiyoshi and Lilly ready themselves for a confrontation, but before weapons could be drawn, the strange man puts out his hand and remarks that he didn't know humans were capable of caring for anything but themselves.That when it dawned on both Kiyoshi and Lilly that this must be Negesi uncle and one they were supposed to meet here. "Your the one we are supposed to meet, aren't you?" Asked Kiyoshi as he and the strange man's eyes met. "Yes, my name is Lord Abdimelech, Cheif advisor to the new King and former brother to the old one. I am guessing you are the humans entrusted to protect young master Negesi from hunters, correct?" Replied the strange man. "If what
