???: -let's recap, let's see you!
Southern Country - Province - Al'leth City
In a house in the center of Al'leth someone has just given birth.
(Baby cry)
Midwife: -Hold.
The midwife delivers the baby to its mother.
???: -Look Rashy, our baby is beautiful.
Rashy: -yes Yasa, he pulled his mother.
(Laughter)
Yasa: -What are we going to call it?
Rashy: -que tal Hideo? Hideo Fugikata Yamisato
Yasa: -How beautiful.
Yasa closes her eyes and smiles at her husband Rashy.
Yasa: -He will be a great warrior one day. Like your father.
Rashy runs a hand over Yasa's face.
Rashy: -He will be kind like his mother.
The two look at each other and then hug their son.
05 years pass and little Hideo grows up and begins his training with his father.
Yasa: -Come on, it's time! (Yasa yells at them.)
Rashy: -Very well Hideo, enough for today, go take your shower for dinner.
Hideo: -Right father.
Hideo runs into the house. Rashy watches the sun set over the horizon.
Yasa: -How was your son training?
Hideo: -It was really good, I almost got it from daddy today.
Rashy: -That's not how I saw it.
(Laughter)
Hideo: -One day I will be as strong as you.
Yasa: -but for that you have to eat the vegetables
Hideo: -There's no mother!
Rashy and Yasa smile, Hideo hated vegetables.
Yasa: -Brush your teeth and get ready to sleep, tomorrow we will have a long day, we will go to grandma's house.
Hideo: -oba!
Rashy: -I will read your story as soon as I finish helping your mother.
Hideo nods and goes up to his room.
Rashy then goes upstairs to tell Hideo a story. He loved listening to them before bed.
Rashy: -So which one will it be today?
Hideo: -Tell me about becoming a Blade Master.
Rashy tin.
Rashy: -Why are you interested in this subject?
Hideo: -One day I want to become one, like grandpa.
Rashy lowers his head.
Hideo: what was it daddy?
Rashy: -It 's nothing, (hands Hideo's head).
Hideo smile.
Rashy: -Well , every year the weapons master sets up a tournament for blade masters from all over the world to participate, there are 3 phases, in the first a group battle, the winners of each group go to the second phase, battles of survival until 2 left standing, the third stage, a man against man fight the winner wins the title of master of the blade.
Hideo marvels at his father's words. Another 5 years pass, Hideo is now 10 and seeing something.
Law: -Rashy...
Yasa prepares the bandages, Rashy is seriously injured, Hideo was watching from behind the door, His father had left for the tournament and will just come back downcast like Hideo had never seen before.
Rashy: -How 's Hideo?
Yasa: -It's ok, I only talked about the triumphant return of the father.
Rashy lowers his head.
Yasa: -I'm sorry, I...
Rhasy: -Don't worry, I'm fine.
Hideo then goes up to his room. A few days go by and Rashy is fully recovered, Hideo hasn't told him anything about the tournament so Rashy calls him to trill.
Rashy: -So son, how are your studies going? The teacher is as good as his old father.
Hideo smile.
Hideo: -Not as much as you, but he teaches well.
Rashy: -I think next week I'll be able to help you improve your swordplay, after all your dream of becoming a master of the blade like your grandfather still exists right?
Hideo lowers his wooden sword.
Rashy: -What's wrong ?
Hideo: -Is there another way to be a blade master?
Rashy: -Why this question now?
Hideo: Because even you couldn't.
Hideo starts to cry, Rashy approaches him and hugs him.
Rashy: -You will be a better warrior than I Hideo, and yes there is another way to have the title of master of blades.
Hideo: which one?
Rashy: defeating the ghost.
Hideo: ghost?
Rashy: a powerful being, who haunts the northern country, many say he is a beast because he fought against him did not survive.
Hideo: -More is what? This is harder than winning the tournament.
Rashy: -You asked for another way not an easier way.
Rashy smiles at Hideo who smiles back, the two continue their training until nightfall, after dinner Hideo goes to his bed and thinks.
Hideo: -One day I will be a master of the blade for you daddy.
Eight more years pass and Hideo graduates from the city's sword academy, his parents are older, he is now a grown man.
Yasa: -Hideo, congratulations.
Rashy: -Here's our gift to you.
Hideo: -present?
Yasa: -Let's open it.
Hideo opens the package and what he sees is a sword in its scabbard.
Hideo: -Wow.
Hideo draws his sword and sees it is a black Katana with a gray blade.
Rashy: -Your grandfather usually uses it in his battles, before he died he gave it to me and now I'm passing it on to you.
Hideo: -I can't accept it, she's your father, your dream.
Rashy: -My dream now lives in you.
Hideo looks at them.
Rashy: -Your journey begins now, as a blade master.
Hideo: -Thank you, I promise I will become a master of the blade.
They smile and hug, Hideo's journey to become a master of the blade begins.
