    Down the long road of kamu forest. A samurai walked alone and alert of the dangers around him. He saw thieves running behind him in the dense forest, he knew they were there. Walking down the hill one thief jumped at him knives drawn ready to strike as he jumped. The samurai stopped and ducked the swipe. Moved to the right and with his sheathed sword and hit him the butt of his sword knocking him unconscious. Thud as he hit the ground, the others looked at each other, then with a sudden flash they pounced, the samurai twirled around and kicked the first attacker straight out of the air with is foot. The second slashed and stabbed at the swift samurai missing every time. The attacker slash, cling, the samurai had drawn his sword to stop the thief's attack. The samurai looked dead at his attacker and said "too slow." And with a single swift move behead his enemy. The other two thieves had jumped back and were sitting in the trees, watching the samurai sheath his sword, one whispered "should we continue,” "no we will go back and report what happened, we will have our revenge later, be patient . . . ,” "I need to continue to jiyo to see my brother,” thought the samurai as he searched for money and other materials he might be able to use.

    The samurai continued to walk the path. a strange voice said "nice work back there, I see you know the ancient way of kinda. " The samurai stopped and said "who are you and why are you traveling these dangerous roads monk?", " I am kimado of the monjo mountain monastery , I travel to jiyo to see by brethren" the samurai looked at kimado with a suspicious look and asked " why are you following me? " the monk said " do not worry I am following you because I am a monk do you think I could protect myself , you looked like and able protector. " the samurai laughed and said " well at least you could tell me that" the kimado and the samurai walked on. kimado asked " I never caught your name young man?" the samurai looked at the monk and said " I am hachitsu of the oritaka clan " the monk said " the oritaka clan? I thought they all died off " " I am one of a few who continue our name ". the samurai said " I think we should continue before we are attacked again." "agreed" said the monk. so the two continued to jiyo talking about each others history.

    "I think we should go and find that samurai who killed our bretheren. ", " no we will return and tell lord nijiro what we saw" "come to think of it , I haven't seen such quickness in quite some time." the thieves were returning to mount honetetsu to lord nijiro's castle where the thieves of the shadows live and thrive in the darkness of the mountain. long ago lord nijiro ruled with kindness and forgiveness, but when war broke out he was no match for the rebels and was banished to the shadows of mount honetetsu sealed forever in his castle. From there he ruled the shadows and learned that he can be a very powerful man, ruling the shadows with and iron fist. now that he has made his army of thieves he knows what goes on and where, not only that he knows the weakness of the emperor's armies. " I think we should report ........ thud " " what the hell!" the thief's head fell from the tree to the ground. " you have trespassed on the wrong land" said a voice from the trees, "I will kill you woman!" screamed the thief as he jumped for the branches up to the where the archer was sitting. taking aim as he charged her she said "you will never see your lord again " and the arrow sank in the thief's chest with a deep smack , shocked as he keep coming she aimed and again released, this time in the head and as it pierced him, he sank to the ground.

    " look the gate of jiyo, we will be splitting then." " yea it was nice to talk to someone for a change these roads get lonely." , " it was nice to meet you hachitsu, and tell your older brother I wish him well." ," i will, good luck monk." , the two went seperate ways the monk went left past the gate to the kinito monestary. hachitsu went into the gates of jiyo. "state your buisness in jiyo" stated the gaurd " i am just here to visit, do not worry i won't cause any trouble." " welcome to jiyo then." hachitsu walked in to the busy market, " would you like a new bedroll sir" hachitsu just walked by and shook his head no, as he entered the bar he didn't see his brother any where around. " do you know if a setekima of the oritaka clan came by here?" , " no, no one by that name has been here." hachitsu was puzzeled by this he knew his brother would never be late for a meeting , especially one that he set up. a female voice said "if you are looking for setekima, i saw him on a path just north of town he look pretty determined." " how do you know my brother?" " i traveled with him for a while we got seperated and i came here hopeing to see him, your name must be hachitsu, he said to give this to you." she handed him a piece of cloth with a symbol on it, the symbol is that of the oritaka clan. "what is your name?" , " my name is hiriashiku, i have served with the oritaka clan before .", " which path did he go up?", " your not thinking of going after him are you, that would be suicide."," the forest up there is littered with shadow thieves, come to think of it i killed two that mentioned your name." "i am going to go up there with or without you, i must see my brother." " fine if i can't stop you then i will go with you, but you will need someone who can heal and protect us from the shadows"," i know just the man"

    after kimado left hachitsu side he made it to the kinito monestary to see his brethern. " greetings kimado long time no see!" a voice yelled from the yard of the monestary "how is itaka?" " he is doing fine , even though you are not by his side takida." " is the high priest in?" " yea he is in the shrine room" kimado shook his hand and left to the shrine . gamakida looked up and said "what is the news , that is why you are here ,yes" " yes, you know of the shadow north of here a dark force grows there we need to do something about it.", " aaa yes, the shadow, what is there we can do." " well the people of mount honetetsu monestary would like to offer their help" ," that will be a good begining" as the two finished hachitsu and hiriashiku walk in . " ah well long time no see "," i have a favor to ask of you kimado, will you come with us north to find my brother." ," i am sorry but i am to old to go ,but perhaps i know someone who can , takida can you come here " " yes master " " what do you say to a trip into the shadow?"," ah well i have to tend to carrots who will tend them" gamakida looked at him puzzeled and said " you were the one who wanted to see the world and so now here is your chance, not only that you are one the best healers here you would be a great addition to the party" ," ok i will go as a duty of the monk of kinito monestary i will protect you ", gamakida said " not only that i am forceing you to go "
