Yasuke : Rise of the Black Dahlia

A lady was riding horseback through a open field, heading towards a cluster of trees. "It seems I've lost them...for now" she thought as she momentarily looked back. On the side of the horse, there was an open basket attached to the saddle with a baby wrapped in a blanket in it. The baby seemed to be enjoying the bumpy ride, as a still-developing smile was engraved on his face. She looked down at the baby to see the radiant, reddish-orange sky reflecting in it's eyes, and began smiling back. "They won't be able to find me after the sun sets. It won't be much longer now" The lady carried on as the sun fully set, which left her in the company of the night sky. This didn't stop her, however. She lit a lantern which help illuminate the path as she continued on her journey. *THE NEXT DAY* The lady washed the baby's face and body in a bathtub. The greyish-warm water had various green herbs floating around in it. When she dipped the baby's body in th

There are five stages of enlightenment. The first, labelled the "Awakening Stage" was reached once a person learned to channel Chi and could also gather chi in one of the various ways. The second, labelled the "Empowerment Stage" was reached once a person learned to empower themselves with Chi energy. Second stage users also learned the Three Combat Kata, being Ferocious style, hardening style, and intercepting style. Ferocious style enabled faster and more dynamic movements through the application of Chi. Hardening style was centered around enhancing one own's body with chi, to be able to cause more damage and to be able to take in more damage. Intercepting style, was the first indications that one could reach the fourth stage. Much like the fourth stage, labelled the "Third Eye Stage", intercepting style revolves around one attaining a better sense of chi. It allowed more chi to be detected amongst other chi users, and from plant-life when gathering. Those in the third stage, labe

Mona, under King Musa's orders, watched over Eradius' farm the entire night. She was placed in the vicinity of the farm and was instructed to continuously scan the area for chi users. It proved to be an easy assignment, as she didn't feel any interference in the area throughout the night. But, once she went to escort Yasuke and Eradius to a new location, this changed. Yasuke awoke to the smell of beef roasting, which was a typical breakfast for Eradius. He calmly got out of bed and went downstairs where the smell was coming from. "Hey, Yasuke" Erad stated. "You're just in time. The food is done. That is, if you plan on actually joining me today." "No, thank you" Yasuke stated as he opted for an apple out of the bowl of fruit they kept on the kitchen table. Every morning, Eradius would cook a breakfast big enough for an entire family consisting of roast meat, eggs, oat porridge, etc. But, upon realizing that Yasuke developed a habit for not eating meat he also kept a variety of frui

Due to Mephisto and Leonidas carrying the carriage, they arrived at the Wall of Neserus rather quickly. There Wall of Neserus was a giant, golden gate that stopped people from entering and exiting way before they got to the actual Kingdom. This giant gate was thirty miles away from the cluster of cities that King Musa and his people lived in, and was heavily guarded on each side. Once the guards saw that another king, Leonidas, was pulling the carriage. They quickly opened the gate and greeted him. "Nice to meet you, King." they stated as they bowed at his feet. "Thanks for the gesture, but such isn't needed with me." Leonidas replied. "I don't mean to disrespect you, but what is a King like yourself doing pulling a carriage. Samor and Mona would have gladly done it in your place." "Since one of my young knights mistakingly attacked Mona and the carriage, I figured it was only right. But, how far is King Musa from here? I wanted to give him my apologies specifically as well." "Hi

King Nobunaga the Second was sitting comfortably on his new throne. Humming his favorite tune cheerfully as he watched his underling enter the room. "You forgot to knock." He spoke. "My apologies, but I received urgent news about Yasuke. I knew you would appreciate the information regardless." His underling replied. "Is that right? Well tell me what it is, Botaro." "King Nobunaga, I received confirmation that Yasuke is heading to Spartania." "SPARTANIA?" Nobunaga stated as he sprung up in his seat, nearly falling over. "Yes, my king. King Musa has allowed for King Leonidas to train Yasuke." In many eyes, Nobunaga was an immature teenager who was self centered and arrogant. Everytime he was spoke of, it was about how his big ego prevents him from bettering his skill. However, there wasn't a single person that considered him foolish. He was very cunning and a quick strategical thinker. He could be given a scenario and determine the most probable of all the outcomes. He knew in th
