A Tale of Death and Rebirth

A Tale of Death and Rebirth The samurai was alone in his room, a rare thing, considering the recent events in the city... He was folding paper, a passion that he gained in the last few years. The small creatures that he brought to existence by flipping and folding a simple square of rice paper, gave him strenght to face the days, the nights, and ultimately, his very own existence. Although the table in front of him already had a fair number of animals and flowers, of several sizes and colors, he was doing one more, a chrysanthemum.

Shatter I

For the first time, the old bushi felt the stale chill in the mountain air, the edges of rock cuting through the wind like it was his own flesh. He was cursed. Mirumoto Aishi smiled, realization in his silver-grey, green eyes. There was no turning back from the way he had set himself on since the premature death of his first sensei. He had learned so much that he could forget. He had killed so many that he could face death without pause. He had sacrificed so much that he had nothing to show for.
