The Lost Writings of Miyamoto Musashi
Chapter 4 - Introductions
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Come on! Let's get you guys freed. I don't want you to miss this glorious day." I said to the chained horses on the floor.So I raised my sword and swiftly struck their chains.The metal slowly came off as the blade sliced through it like paper.The horses thanked me again and asked who am I."I am Miyamoto Musahi. Expert Swordsman and Samurai and one more question, what are these strange rocks?"I answered and asked.They replied that they are crystals and this place is called The Crystal Empire.A strange place indeed.I almost forgot that injured horse by the throne and rushed to him.It was not a serious injury but he looks like he was in his 50s. I ripped a piece of cape from the Kage and cleaned his head and then placed it on his head to stop the bleeding.He is not ready to left this realm. Let's see that he will live.I told the other horses to get him on a futon.They asked what is it. I answered with saying that its is what they call it a mattress.They did as they were told and brought me a thick futon.With steady hands, I carried the injured one to the futon and told the horses to inform me that he was alright.
With that I headed towards the throne,the throne where the kage would sit and enslave many lives and even executing without moving an inch.Now that barbarian is gone,it is now time for a new era to begin.With that in mind ,I slowly sat down on the throne and immediately I felt a strong presence of positive chi,my exhaustion has been extinguished and my body feels rejuvenated, ready for battle.When I was processed this thought of this chair could be the key to enlightenment,the injured horse entered the room, looking quite scared,and asked
"Where's Sombra?"
"You mean the Kage? I show you his head."
With that,I showed the head and body of him on the carpet.
"This fool has studied the ways of darkness for his own self and enslaved you and your people for his own needs and wants."
"Oh yes! I forgot to introduce myself to you.I am Miyamoto Musashi, Expert Swordsman and Samurai."
"And also one more task for you:can you please inform those who were under this barbarian's influence that he is dead,also spread the news throughout the populace,and for those who can come to the tenshu to come to see me,I need to know what happened before this barbarian took over."
"You have Sombra's crown,that means you rule the Crystal Empire,I hope that you can do better than our last two rulers."
"There is no need for an ornament to signify your power.It is the names and mind and robes that people should think of their ruler is true or not."
"You are quite strange for ruling us since you don't use a crown in your monarchy and prefer to use names to rule."
"Our people isn't ruled by someone who is divine.Rather by birthright and sword.I'll teach you of my people's system later."
"So your people are warriors."
"Seems right.Also a daimyo can't rule without his retainers and his agents like metsuke,ninja and geisha,commissioners and generals.Without it, a clan can't function well in this age."
"Seems good enough.I shall go now to inform everyone of this glorious day."With that he hobbled out of of the room.
"Wait, I have one more thing to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Take Care of yourself.We need you. I need you."
"Don't worry.I will."
With that,he left the throne room leaving me to think and meditate.
