Project E

Chapter 1: The First Beginning

"Look at these trees! It's beautiful, isn't it? Except for the trees that you cut last an hour ago and carrying right now! Oh well, I guess we gotta get these cut trees back in the village and... Also City... do you know that there's been a rehabilitation going on in the middle of the city? I can't wait to see it! How about you Himiri Shima and...? Himiri Shima's father isn't it?" An old man said and asked happily and joyfully, holding a support stick in his left hand as he stops and looked behind him to the left of him seeing Himiri Shima and his father with him on the other side carrying logs.

"I mean it's the third time that they rehabilitated the middle of that city it hasn't been going well, dad watch out!" Himiri Shima answered as he quickly shouts to his dad to the left of him seeing a tree falling to the left of his father.

They're in the middle of the forest. His dad let go of the logs that his carrying on his right top shoulder of him as he was shocked and sat down on the floor as the tree falls in front of him. He quickly gets out of the way to not get hit by the falling tree. 

The old man and Himiri Shima quickly go over to his dad to see if he's okay. The old man looked around and sees that the tree falls because it was already a dead tree.

As the old man looked around him he sees that the trees around just died because of the dried land and a storm randomly hits the area reasoning of it to near its end, but the other trees around are still healthy and standing.

"Dad! Are you alright? Dad, speak to me!" Himiri Shima said and ask in a hurry as his dad slowly stands up. "I'm fine, good thing you see It, if you didn't see it, I could've been a problem to you son," his father answered as Himiri Shima grabbed his father's right arm and help him stand.

"If that tree would've hit you, It would not do that kind of damage to you, Uroski Shima, the tree is long dead might be because of the storm, and this almost dried land because of lack of water., it cleared out a large space of the city, and the villages are almost got destroyed and almost nothing left," the old man said to them both as they looked at each other.

"We should get going now, there might be swordsmens coming in our way any time now," the old man said as he turns around and begins to walk towards the city village in the far distance seeing the large walls and big trees around outside the large and long walls.

Himiri Shima and his dad who is named Uroski Shima grabbed the logs that they cut down and put their logs on top of their shoulders as they begin to walk where the old man is heading.

Both Himiri Shima and Uroski Shima are carrying at least 2 and 3 of his dad's normal tree logs on their top shoulders as they continued to walk. 

The sky is starting to get shady as thunder starts to tremble and occurred and starts to rain. It's a rainy day in the east. Himiri Shima is walking in the city happily as he carries a chop-down oak wood on his top left shoulder as he walks by past some of the people walking around in his peaceful village. 

After a couple of minutes of walking, he reaches a house that is currently getting built by other working men in their village. They are called engineers and the workers that will build the house are called construction workers.

The engineers are the ones who will design the house to make it perfect and beautiful and perfect in place. Himiri Shima's father is right behind him also carrying a chop-down oak wood but much many. Himiri Shima is only carrying a chop-down oak wood on his left shoulder but his father is carrying the oak wood both on top of his shoulders.

They finished giving the logs in the first village in the far distance lately and cut down new woods that are in the village the chop-down oak woods inside the village. The chop-down oak woods are long dead that's why they're getting cut down.

"Son put the logs in there and quickly leave I'll wait for our salary this is the day that they gonna give it to us, go for now to our house in the side of the village where is near outside the village wait for me in there," Uroski Shima said as Himiri Shima quickly walks towards the place in the cut-down logs in the distance.

Where there are also more workers carrying and cutting the logs turning them into a new special one like a table. Himiri Shima and Uroski Shima reached the place where they will put their logs.

Himiri Shima quickly runs back towards the outside door of the village as his dad goes in the other way where he sees the new building house and the engineer, construction workers, and the manager who is the one who paid all of them.

Uroski Shima slowly walks towards the manager as the manager turns around and sees him. The manager smiled as he reaches for his pocket on the side of him. The manager is a tall man and looks rich.

Uroski Shima reaches the manager as the manager grabbed something in his wallet. "The economy of the village is going up, but the city is still the normal economy, here is your salary for the week I hope you do more so you could get more, I put a bonus in there and your son's salary in there, so... I hope you have a good day," the manager said as he hands over money that is a paper with coins, the paper is real money in their city, in the money, there's a bill number in it. The manager heavily breathes as he looked at Uroski Shima who smiled happily.

"Thank you... Sir! I couldn't thank you enough, we can finally buy a fine house for my son Himiri," Uroski Shima said as he tears and quickly turned around as he put the money in his pocket.

"No problem, your welcome, work hard and work smart that's the only thing you need in your current situation," the manager said as he turned around and walk towards the construction site.

Himiri Shima walks out of the village as he walks past 2 swordsmen with their swords on their sides, both deadly serious. He stopped and turned around. He sees on the side that the guards are distracted by talking to the cute girls on the side. 

The unknown Swordsmen are quick, Himiri Shima turned around for a second and they suddenly vanished. The wind blow and he turned around and pretend as if nothing happened. 

"Himiri!" His father shouted behind him, he quickly turned around and sees his dad running toward him. The two Unknown Swordsman are on top of the gate watching Himiri Shima down them. 

"Oh dad, I thought you gonna be there for a day again," Himiri said as his dad reaches him. "No, we find a nice manager it's our first time getting this kind of money, remember to save up son... The manager is nice he gave it to me early we have to work harder enough so we can make a nice grave for your little sister and mom, here's yours keep it," Uroski Shima said who is smiling at him as he hands over half of the money to his son.

Himiri Shima suddenly smiled as he sees a lot of money given to him. "Good thing our manager isn't corrupt let's go back home before it's getting dark," Uroski Shima said as he put all of the money in his pocket. Himiri Shima slowly turns around as he counts the money that is given to him. He's smiling the same as his father as they both walk out in front of the city village.

Kurokushima Makure and Hirokushima Makure, are the two unknown Swordsman who has been deployed by an Unknown organization in the east. 

They both wonder how Himiri Shima sees them both, both of the swordsmen are using an invisible supernatural ability and also techniques. They both vanished on top of the gate as the wind blows the big trees outside the city village.

"That young man that saw us could be a problem in these future days, he has the senses that are needed for unbelievable swordsmanship, his aura is like a leaf that normal people cannot be seen..." Hirokushima Makure said to the swordsman on the left side of him. They're both inside the city village seeing many people walking around and also with their children. A clear path as there are houses around them and guards with body armor and a sword with them on the right side.

"This could be trouble, there are so many guards around us, good thing they're talking to the people around them... the heads order us to finalize the project B and next is C and E, I've heard that the project E is the special one," Kurokushima Makure said as he looked around him left and right until they vanished in a blink of an eye.

They are unvanished in a vacant lot where there are no people around except for a man and a girl kissing in the dark. The two swordsmens Kurokushima Makure and Hirokushima Makure are walking past these two as the guy who is kissing the girl looked at them both. The guy is drunk same as the girl who is dizzy and feels like she's been drug.

The two swordsmen walk past as the guy intervenes and touches Kurokushima Makure on his right shoulder. "Who the hell are you, people?... Get the hell out she's mine!" The guy said as he pulls out a knife and attacked Kurokushima Makure who suddenly has a spirit scythe on his back. 

Suddenly the guy trembles as he drops the knife that he's holding. Kurokushima Makure turns around as he pulled his scythe from his back. He also has a sword on his right side. 

Kurokushima Makure decapitated the man as the girl shouts killing her by him. Blood dripped from his scythe as it suddenly vanished from his hand. The dripping blood goes to the floor as the man shower on his blood, the man is dead same as the girl who got killed by Kurokushima Makure.

He turned around and begins to walk with Hirokushima Makure. Hirokushima is on the left side of Kurokushima Makure. They begin to walk in the vacant lot as the path is dark.

Kurokushima Makure shows no mercy on both of the two that they passed as Hirokushima Makure ignores him but they both remained deadly serious.

Himiri Shima and Uroski Shima are walking in a forest as they see the old man in the distance that been with them for the last two hours ago. The old man is walking slowly with a cart behind him, he's pulling it slowly as he uses his cane as a support.

"Hey! Old man! Looks like we meet again! Can I help you?" Himiri Shima asked as he reaches the old man on the right side of the old man as Uroski Shima is right behind them walking with them. 

"Ah... Sure, I could get some help, here pull this, don't worry is not that heavy it's just my old age getting through," the old man answered as he hands over a rope. They both stop for a second as the old man gets out of the way to stretch his back and move to the side.

"Yeah! You're right this is not that heavy... Good thing we got here early, I can help you," Himiri Shima said full of pure kindness as he smiles at the old man on the right side of him. He starts pulling the cart as he uses the rope.

There is a blanket covering the inside of the cart. It's a big blanket that is covering the top of it. Himiri Shima is pulling the cart like it was nothing. Uroski Shima is right behind them just in case Himiri Shima falls to the ground and loses the rope.

They walk by past men with a cart and a guard with them. The guard is a swordsman with a special sword on the right side of the swordsman. It's a light black sword and he's wearing a kimono uniform that only exists in the regions of the far east.

They walk by past the swordsman that had a cart pulling with an old woman on his side slowly walking with him. "I haven't seen that kind of swordsman in a while, wearing a kimono... Maybe he's just passing by," the old man said as he looked back as he continues to walk, he's also curious.

"Can I ask? What kind of sword that they're holding? I see that his sword is a special light black sword is that even real? It's my first time seeing that kind of sword, the chief has a normal sword, and it's almost broken like someone has carried it first," Himiri Shima said as he asks the same time at the old man. 

"Well, if you ask me it's my first time seeing that kind of swordsman... carrying that kind of sword, yes also yes that is real," the old man answered as he looked straight.

"Looks like this old man is losing his brain cells because of old..." He said to himself in his mind. They continued to walk in the forest as the sunset begins to set. 

After a couple of hours of walking on the path, they reach the oak wood village, one of the biggest land and also landscape because of the spacing of the houses outside the city village. It's a little bit far from the city village.

"Whoo! We reach the oak wood village finally!" Himiri Shima said as he heavily breathes and drops the rope for a second before picking it up again.

"It's a long ride, thank you, Himiri Shima, this is where we parted our ways, I'll see you tomorrow, and Uroski Shima take care of yourself you have a son to take care of," the old man said as he grabs the rope from Himiri Shima as his father Uroski Shima goes to the side of Himiri as they both see the old man walking Into the land of the village.

There's a wall around the village, but it's not that tall, the village's round walls are at least nineteen feet tall. The city village is much taller than that.

"Dad, let's go home to the mountain where we currency live we should buy a house tomorrow," Himiri Shima said as his dad smiled at him. The old man walks into the village as he pulls his cart using the rope in the distance.

Himiri Shima and Uroski Shima go to the right where there's a large mountain in the far distance.

"Son we won't make it in time to our house in the mountains, we should enter the village for now and sleep on the bench in the parks, I'm sorry but our lives should be better tomorrow... Now let's get into the village," Uroski Shima said as Himiri Shima looked down at the ground as he begins to walk. They walk into the village as the guards of the village are nowhere near to be found.

They walk in and walk on a stone path, around them are small two-story houses closing their lights because it's time to sleep. Uroski Shima looks up at the sky and sees the clouds in the dark in the sky.

After a couple of minutes of walking they reach the park, where's there a light post or street light. There are two benches in the distance and there's light. 

"I'll sleep on the far one Himiri, get a good sleep," Uroski Shima said as he walks towards the far bench. Himiri sits down and lays down on the bench as the wind blows. There are oak wood trees behind them as the light post light flickers.

Himiri Shima closely closes his eyes and falls asleep. Uroski Shima leans on the bench as he looks around him but there's no one around. He closes his eyes and slowly falls asleep.

The two swordsmen, Kurokushima Makure and Hirokushima Makure are in the middle of the city village talking to an executive chief assistant, a girl.

"Where's the Chief? We've been looking for him all day, we search the other small villages outside this city village but he's nowhere to be found, tell us where he has been, and why is project B not done? He has one job!" Kurokushima Makure said and ask furiously as Hirokushima Makure stand behind menacingly as he looks straight in the window.

There on a room, an office in the capital. The capital has large rooms, it's called a building the capital is responsible for the causes and salary of every people in the city village. 

"I don't know... He didn't tell me anything, but I heard that he's currently working on project C which is building the army in the far east, new swordsmen have arrived with Kimono and a special sword with them! That's all I know now please let me go!" The girl answered as Kurokushima Makure stand up straight menacingly and the girl quickly run outside the door.

"She's the Chief executive assistant, after all, this city village has no heads except for the Chief, the heads are the or who manage this city village directly if they ever have one but that bastard is already working on Project C! We need to get going and find this Chief!" Kurokushima Makure said furiously as they both vanished in a blink of an eye the moon is now can be seen in the sky as the clouds slowly go away. It's a half-moon, lighting shining up in the sky.
