Date: Æ1254 27, 6
The sunrises in the sky. Hiroshi Gakure is waking up in his bed as he sees his son walking around the house. Their house has a small room inside with a double bed.
His wife is on his right side sleeping on his right arm. His son a little boy hugs his little pillow tightly as he lies down on the ground-hugging his pillow.
Hiroshi Gakure slow goes up and leaned on the wall behind him as he watches his son hug the pillow and smile.
The little boy seed Hiroshi Gakure looking at him and smiling at him, he laughs as his son ignored him and turned around. Hiroshi Gakure closes his eyes and quickly falls asleep.
His wife Yuna wakes up and sees Hiroshi Gakure falls asleep. She looked around for her son around her. She goes up and sees her son on the left side of Hiroshi Gakure on the floor playing with his pillow hugging it.
After a couple of minutes, Yuna gets off of her bed and as she gets off of her bed she hears Hiroshi Gakure snoring. She laughs as she walks towards the kitchen in her left as she walks out in the bedroom.
Their kitchen has a small room inside only enough for cooking and cutting vegetables.
In the heads. Shimodo Rou is talking to the other heads and Generals and with the other Shira's. There on the underground heads facility. They're talking with the other Sergeants and Shiras.
"Hiroshi Gakure village is... destroyed, we can't do anything but to watch it get destroyed, we don't have enough strength to at least... save some of them," the Sergeant said in frustration.
"It's fine at least you all make it alive, before Hiroshi Gakure leaves, he manages to kill the heads of his village the only problem is the other villages, I need answers to what has happened," Shimodo Rou said as the two Shiras nodded at him and both of them vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Sir, there's a report that the remaining Ardoni's debris has recovered in the mount canyon somewhere in the northeast," the General of the third army said as he flip over his paper.
The Generals are holding a paper with them. They're sitting on their chairs in the same room of heads the underground facility.
"The special magic isn't needed in this kind of stuff," Shimodo Rou said as a soldier suddenly comes into the room and hand over a book to Shimodo Rou. He nodded as the soldier quickly leaves the room.
"Also! Where's Monoke Gakure?" Shimodo Rou asked as the generals look each other as they turned around to each other.
"We haven't seen him for a little while, he said he's gonna walk outside the village to look for something," the General of the second army said.
"Hiroshi Gakure said that his one of the powerful swordsmens that born, he also handle one of the masked, he could be one of the masters in the future, Monoke Gakure" Shimodo Rou said as he opened the book of his holding. The book is the same size as a normal hand.
"Did we get any information in the north..? Or the Basilaska village? They haven't responded to any of our calls yet!" The Sergeant of the third army said.
"They will respond after a day or day in a half, they're teleportation magic is delayed for at least a day," Shimodo Rou answered as someone knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Shimodo Rou said as someone opened the door and a sorcerer shows up. "The Sorcerer supreme is dead, we haven't gotten any messages from him for the last thirty-five years! He said he's on one of those dimensions, but we don't know which one it's too dangerous!" The sorcerer said who is a girl.
Shimodo Rou facepalm as he looked at the Generals. "General of the third army, I'm tasking you to go to the Basilaska Village, I have a bad feeling, just in case you got into any trouble get the Shira's who holds one of those masked," Shimodo Rou said as the General of the third army nodded at him and quickly got off on his chair. He walked out to the room.
"Sergeant, you can come with him, the Æ's are staying in the village tell them," Shimodo Rou said as the Sergeant nodded at him and leaves the room.
"Now deploy the high-ranking swordsmens of our village in north, south, and northwest, that's the only thing you will do gentlemen... Dismiss!" Shimodo Rou said as the Generals stand up and walk out of the room. The sergeants leave as they quickly get out of the room.
The remaining is Shimodo Rou and the remaining Unknown heads of the east and the Sorcerer. The Generals talk as they walk up the stairs. They walk, as they walk the heads are still talking in the underground facility.
Hiroshi Gakure woke up from his bed as he suddenly stopped leaning on the wall. He looked at the window in front of him a little far away from the bed. He quickly got off of his bed and walk towards the window.
He walks towards the window as he grabbed his sword next to the window that is leaning. He looked at the village, east a peaceful village. He sees a lot of two-story houses and one-story houses in the far distance and the distance of him.
He sees birds flying up in the sky as the big trees around them got blow-by by the calm wind. He continued to look around the village as he holds his sword tightly in his left hand.
He looked to his left and hears his wife Yuna and his little son playing with Yuna in the kitchen happily. They're both smiling in the kitchen as they play in the small kitchen as Yuna cooked food.
"I'm going out Yuna, I'll see you later... In the festival," Hiroshi Gakure said as in a blink of an eye his already suit up and his sword on his left side equipped, he vanished.
"Be careful!" Yuna said as she quickly goes to the bedroom and sees Hiroshi Gakure is already gone. He kneels on the ground and tears out. His little boy hugs her as she tears out.
In the heads. The Generals are walking out in the capital as they see some people just walking by. "The Date Æ is already near its point, this day twenty-seven, the next day is Date Æ1254 1, 7... I can't believe those days already passed," the General of the fourth army said as he looked up in the sky.
The first General walks by past him and stops. He sees a swordsman that has three swords on his side. All different colors, he looked at the swordsman who walk by past the capital who is going towards the front gate.
"That swordsman... Ækatsuki," the General of the fifth army said as the other remaining Generals are stunned as they see the swordsman vanish from their sight.
The General of the second army sat down. The two soldiers are outside the capital guarding as they see the Generals standing up and the General of the second army and first sitting down on the stairs and looking up in the sky.
"Sorcerer Mhieca... Make sure that the barriers are fully repaired and ready for an unexpected event or uninvited visitors," Shimodo Rou said as the Sorcerer who is named Mhieca looked at Shimodo Rou.
"The village is safe, you have nothing to worry about, the only problem is those swordsmans who will interfere in the future, don't let them kill you," Mhieca said as she turned around and leave the room.
Shimodo Rou lowered his head down as the other heads stands up and leave the room. They leave him alone in the room as the other heads pick up some of the papers that the Generals leftover on the table.
Monoke Gakure is outside the village training in the dense forest. He continues to swing and swing his sword nonstop. His sweat dripped as he swing in the air with his sword.
He stopped. He walked towards the tree in front of him. He strikes it using his sword. Suddenly he stopped as he sat down on the floor and catches his breath.
He looked around him and sees the whole dense forest in peace with more birds around and above him freely flying in the sky.
Hiroshi Gakure walked in the crowd inside the village as he looked around him seeing many people and children with their parents making some memories.
He sees the capital in the far distance. He walked towards the capital as he walk by past some swordsmens with their families around him.
Hiroshi Gakure reached the capital. He sees the Generals leaving and a sorcerer with the other heads talking to the sorcerer. The generals walk by past them.
They continued to talk to each other as he reached the front capital and the stairs. He walks up the stairs walking by past the other heads and the sorcerer.
The other heads and the sorcerers stop talking awkwardly as Hiroshi Gakure past them. "We should get going, we have a lot of work to do," Mhieca said as she walks down the stairs.
Hiroshi Gakure walks into the capital. He nodded at the soldiers who are guarding the capital before walking in. He sees the stairs down in the distance and sees a tea machine maker on his left.
He continued to walk towards the downstairs in the distance as he walk by past some of the workers inside the capital. Hiroshi Gakure continued to walk, he walks down the stairs as he looked around.
He sees Shimodo Rou leaving as he reached the ground of the underground facility. "Hiroshi..." Shimodo Rou said as he looked at Hiroshi Gakure and closes the door in the first room.
"I'd like to talk with you in private," Hiroshi Gakure asked. "You may... What's the matter? We can talk here we don't have any people anymore except for the heads or a private meeting," Shimodo Rou asked as he answered it politely. He sees Hiroshi Gakure nod as he slowly walks towards him.
"I'd like to go to my village... I'd like to see what they've done to my home... If I... I never came back... make Monoke Gakure a master, I know he's young but he's already powerful than any other normal swordsmans, he is different than others," Hiroshi Gakure said as he lowered his head down and stop walking.
"Your village is ... Destroyed by unknowns and the only swordsmans that witness that massacre is not Shira's if they're only Shira's we could save some of them but they all got wiped in only one night," Shimodo Rou said as Hiroshi Gakure is stunned and shock as his eyes are widen.
"The Shira's are investigating the areas, they will report to us shortly," Shimodo Rou said as he lowered his head down.
Hiroshi Gakure lowered his head down as he facepalms and hold his sword on his left side. "I will go there, I don't need any reinforcements," Hiroshi Gakure said as he looked at Shimodo Rou. He became serious and turns around and walked up the stairs seriously.
"I need to revise some of my plans I need to help him," Shimodo Rou said as he walk back towards the first room in the underground facility. He walked back inside as he is serious and somewhat a little bit angry.
Hiroshi Gakure walked up walking by past an Ardoni. Hiroshi Gakure suddenly stopped as his shocked walking by past an Unknown. His eyes widen as he slowly continues to walk up the stairs.
The Ardoni has a blue glowing sword on his back. The Ardoni quickly walks down the stairs walking by past Hiroshi Gakure.
"He's the Ardoni..?" Hiroshi Gakure asked himself as he slowly walks up the stairs shocked as he was confused.
The Ardoni walked into the first room in the underground facility. The Ardoni slowly opened the door, he sees Shimodo Rou walking back to his chair carrying papers and two books.
"Pardon me... I'm here to report that have happened in the mount canyon," the Ardoni said as Shimodo Rou put down his carrying in the table and turned to his left and sees the Ardoni carrying some papers.
"Leo... Long time no see, come in." Shimodo Rou said politely as he walk towards his chair in the right and to the left. He sits down from his chair as Leo walks in. He closes the door quickly goes to the left side of the table and sits down.
"The mount Canyon is the... Graveyard of long-lost forgotten Ardoni's. Red, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Green, Pink, Violet, with their markings on their graves and some staffs that held by the master a long time ago, but now they were just there for memories," Leo said as he looked to his papers.
"Your clan will be remembered, I have visual magic with me that shows off your long-lost forgotten clan that helps us and lends us a hand in the dark days, they manage to make a better world, but they're species you... Almost got wiped out because of an attack by the false kingdoms that lead to great wars in those dark days, even though your species is made out of science," Shimodo Rou said.
"I know that we are made out of science but we progress and live longer than humans," Leo said as he sees Shimodo Rou nod.
"The mount canyon, I will deploy some of my Shira Swordsmans on the mount canyon, we will see if we find any hints or tracks that leave your species that made them find another home," Shimodo Rou said as Leo nodded at him and stands up.
Leo pulled out a sword from his back. "I found this sword in the mount canyon I never expect that they have this kind of stuff," Leo said as Shimodo Dou was surprised by his blue glowing sword that he is showing and glowing.
The sword is longer one in a half longer than a normal human. He put it on his back. "That is an incredible sword, it's rare to see that kind of handiwork these days, but these days is kinda better, the swords that are built are different than others for Shira's only," Shimodo Rou said in a surprising voice.
"It's hard to believe that I may be the last swordsman of my species but I will never lose hope, I will find more trails of my species and find at least survivors of my species and hope that they're all not dead," Leo said as he lowered his head down and take a nap on the table.
"You will find your species when the day comes, and when the day comes, who knows it might be for the better," Shimodo Rou said as he sees Leo smiling as he takes nap.
Shimodo Rou read some papers and write on some of the papers as he continues to write and read and write. He continues to write something in the paper and focuses even more.
Hiroshi Gakure walks out in the capital as he sees a Swordsman in the distance. "It's ÆKenki it's been a while since I see him," the soldier said who is guarding the capital. Hiroshi Gakure looked at the swordsman who walk by past the capital.
He's going to the front gate of the east. Hiroshi Gakure quickly walks down the stairs as he looked around. He sees many people walking past the capital. The soldiers remain on guard as a man walks into the capital.
Hiroshi Gakure walks down, as he walks down he looked up in the sky and sees the sun rising even more in the sky. He walks to the right going towards the front gate of the east. He begins to walk as he holds his sword which suddenly glows on his left side Dark with White particle color who suddenly flows on his sword.
After a couple of minutes of walking Hiroshi Gakure reached the front gate of the east. He sees some of the guards of the front gate talking to each other as they are on guard on the gate.
"You must be Hiroshi Gakure... You know Monoke Gakure if I'm right, he walks outside he said he will be safe, he walks out here last two hours ago and I didn't still hear him or see him back," the guard said as he walks towards Hiroshi Gakure.
"Thanks for the information, I'm Monoke Gakure master, if he manages to get back here and didn't see me for at least three days and he got back her, asked him if he looking for me and if that's the thing he asked, tell him that I won't be coming back," Hiroshi Gakure said as he walks by past the curious guard.
"We will tell him that," the guard said as Hiroshi Gakure walks out in the front gate. He quickly walks outside as he senses Monoke Gakure's presence in his left.
"Monoke Gakure, be safe, farewell..." Hiroshi Gakure said as he walks out into the village, as he walks out in the front gate he vanished leaving no trace behind.
Monoke Gakure is still in the dense forest swinging his sword nonstop as his sweat dripped. He continues and continues. In the dense forest, Hiroshi Gakure sees an unknown army coming towards the village. He pulled out his sword as unknown Dark Shadows started showing up around him. Dark mobs started appearing and attacked him from behind and in front. He quickly pulled out his sword and looked around. He quickly dodges the attack as he sidesteps.
More Dark Mobs and Unknown Dark Shadows are all around him. An unknown army is in front of him with an Unknown leader in front of him riding a horse with an army behind the leader.
