The Lost Writings of Miyamoto Musashi

Hmm.I think its a great day today.I think I should go out and and meditate.No,I should start completing 'The Five Elements',I need to preserve the samurai way.I headed my way down to the garden along with my bodyguard.There it was,majestic it is.The gardeners did a good job positioning the rocks,the stream, the plants and the trees.Wow,they even placed the stone bench has been placed properly to have the viewer see the view without moving himself.I am quite inspired,that I started writing as soon I have right ideas.As soon I finished writing 'The Book of Earth',one of the samurai captains rushed up to me,in quite a shock.

"My Lord,our scouts have reported that there are strangers outside New Osaka.Unfortunately,one of them flew inro the city before we could stop it."Oh no,it could be a hostile ninja to come and assassinate me.This was a problem.

"Get the metsuke out and investigate the strangers.You quickly get your troops out front to stop the ninja."I quickly ordered.

"Yes.My Lord."he quickly bowed and took his leave.

"It is time to fufill your duty,Yoshikaga."I said to my bodyguard.

"Indeed,my Lord."

I rushed to my room to put on my samurai armor.At least I will be honorable at my death.Lastly,we went to the courting room,kneeling there,awaiting the ninja and my death.Fortunately,it wasn't a ninja instead a pink pony with 翼 and a ホン.Strange one than the usual ponies I rule under daimyo.I must on guard in case any thing strange happens.

"Who are you?"I asked.

"I am Cadence,Princess Mi Amore Cadenza of Equestria and,I am here to reclaim my throne."

There was silence,so thick that can be cut with a katana.

This pony here wants to reclaim her throne,possibly of divine right,Just like the Emperor.

The Genpei War ended the Age of the Emperor, and started the Age of the Shogun.

Suddenly, I spoke.

"Sorry,but no.I cannot."

"But why?"

"Firstly,I converted everyone here to the way of the Buddha and dispelled the myth of the princesses of being divine,more like false gods."

"Secondly,It was I who grew this place and lead them to an age of Prosperity of culture and ways."

"Lastly,It was also I who beheaded Sombra,that wretched Kagē follower and uses ponies to fill his own desires,a wretched barbarian who deserves to die."

"I would have done some thing to defeat Sombra.Just because he is a master of the Dark Arts does not mean he deserves to die.I could have just dethroned him without the need to kill him since I'm have been trained to fight his dark magic by Princess Celestia herself.

"Listen.You have no idea of what darkness can do.That barbarian just used only it to enslave.but further down,it can be  used to hide and kill of those who master its ways."

"Anyway,I want my throne back."

"Sorry but no.I guide my ponies throught the ways of the warrior and have extremely loyal to me.I can't simply abandon them."

"I can even being a better era of prosperity than you.As the princess of love,I can..."She was about to talk uncontrollably about love can help ponies when I cut her off.

"Please ask you.Can love can solve all of the pony's necessities?Can love stop them from dying.Can love can solve chaos?"Those questions shocked her into submission quite well.Apparently,she thought this feeling can solve all of the world's problems.

"I'm sorry but that is how the winds of fortune blow.You should have arrived here earlier to defeat him."

"Calm down,young one.It is not your fault that you failed her.You didn't simply know that I was here before you but please assure her that I kept these ponies safe from harm and gave them prosperity of wealth and fortune.With that encursed barbarian Sombra dead,you don't have to worry about a power-hungry being using kagē magic to harm those around him.With the Divine Wind with me,I will lead these ponies to glory for the Miyamoto Clan! Sorry! Every daimyo does that during 戦国時代."She seem to be quite relieved of that these ponies had been well taken care of and even prospering under my rule despite the change of religion,culture,language and ideas.

I was about to send her off when the door of the courting room opening to reveal my metsuke and a formation of guards around six non-crystal ponies in them.

"My Lord, the strangers have been escorted here as you asked,also with have some reinforcements if they try anything."the Metsuke reported in Japanese.

"Thank you.Have some rest until further orders.And no reinforcements,we need to make a good impression here."I replied in Japanese.

All of the ponies looked at me in confusion,possibly the new language I introduced here a long time ago, Japanese,as it is the most complex language the nanban ever heard about,and very odd when you hear it for the first time.

"You must be the 'daimyo' that everybody here has been talking about."The white pony in possibly  in purple nanban armor spoke.

"Indeed I am."

"May I ask why is my wife on the floor?"

"Is that your wife?"I asked with an air of command,I observed him very cautiously before turning my towards his guards to observe them, to see that they have been worthy to become even soldiers, two of them can be easily seen trembling with fear.These soldiers have so low morale,just one well-placed cavalry charge could send them running.

"Yes,that is my wife and I ask again,why my wife is on the floor?"

"She is reeling from the news that I won't let her reclaim her throne.As she could at least claim the throne at least a year earlier before I claimed the throne and I will let her."

"But this belongs to --"

"To me and the Miyamoto clan.Do you really think I will let false gods reclaim this divine land after they lost it against that barbarian for the first time?"

"How did you know--"

"One of the many great things as daimyo is learn the past."

"So, where is Sombra?"

"Oh.You want the urn for proof .Here it is."I said while holding a glass jar filled with black powder.

"Wow.He is really dead.So how did you defeat him?"

*After a few minutes of explaining the battle*

"That's barbaric."

"It is not barbaric.But this is of the decree of fate.And the head is supposed to be a trophy as showing the spirit of the oppoment that it is a worthy battle."

"Today,I will make an exception.You can stay here as the guests of me.Tomorrow,you all will be returning the land you call 'Equestria" and tell your false gods that this day the Miyamoto Clan rose from the ashes of their failure to protect this land from invaders and will be its own state under new lord."

"You can freely explore New Osaka but please do not disrupt the locals' daily life."

The strangers did not take long to agree to my terms.Cadence went back to her husband and they two were having strange moment together.Strange.

When the strangers left to do what they see fit,I quickly consulted Quill about this situation

"This land keeps getting stranger by the day."

"Hmm.I know this place inside out.Should I send metsukes to secretly spy on them?"

"Yes.You should.I know one of them will try to mess up."

"I will get that sorted,My Lord."

"And also,tell the chefs we have guests for tonight and dawn."

"Noted ,My Lord."

After that,I started getting back to writing The Five Elements.
