The Chronicles of Kazuma Takahame
The Village of the Flames
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAs the day grew by, I was happy to hear that these two would take care good care of me. "Are you two sure you wanna take care of me?" They nodded and smiled at me. As the sun set a red and orange smoke came by my face and a scroll came out of it. "What the heck is that?" Kasai asked me as it floated on my hand "It looks likes a scroll but I wonder who its for?" As I opened it up it said my name "Mazurka Takahame" My eyes opened wide and I said "Its for me I wonder what it says" I looked at the scroll and it says "Dear Mazurka Takahame, I heard about the death of your family and I truly apologize but if you want to know the information of the person who killed your family, meet me at the village of the flames at noon. I'll be looking forward to meeting you. Signed, Tori Sanasaki" As I read the scroll, I had ti think about this "If they know about the person who killed my family whether I like it or not, I'm gonna have to trust them." they looked at me with worry "B-but Mazurka, what if its a trap? I get a bad feeling about this." Kasai said "I agree with her on this question, what if it is a trap? Then what are you gonna do?" Aisu said to me I had thought about it but I had confidence and looked at them and said "I'm not sure about that but we'll just have to find out and see about that, and if it is a trap, then i don't know." I lifted my body in the air and flew towards the village. I was searching for the village and asked them "Do you know where the village is?" they thought about the location and Aisu said to me "It should be right over there just about five miles in the north." I nodded and said "alright lets go" as we saw the village I landed towards the gate of the village. "So this is the village of the flames" The sign on the gate had a fire symbol in the middle and and ninjaken crossed by the flames. We walked in the village and it was empty and quiet, too quiet and mysterious. "Where is everyone?" Kasai asked "I don't know but I got a bad feeling about this." Aisu said thinking about the dangers of this place. Just as we entered the village *CRACK!* with a sound of a stick out of nowhere someone screamed "NOW!" it was an ambush and the soldiers threw knockout gas and cast a shield to keep the smoke in the shield. "*COUGH! COUGH! Ma...zur...ka.. *Thud!*" Kasai collapsed to the ground "Mazurka. Its a trap! *COUGH COUGH! uhh *Thud!*" Then Aisu fell to the ground next. I turned around and I saw the two on the ground I started to feel dizzy and nauseous "What....is.....going uhh *thud!*" The gas was clearing up and the commander said to his men "Round them up and bring them to our ruler, she'll see what she is going to do with these three" "Sir!" As they dragged us to the home of the ruler and the empress saw the soldiers see had sent to look out for her village. "Your majesty, we have captured the intruders who have invaded into our village." "Hmm I see, take them away but keep that one out there's something about him that's different and special" "But your majesty what about these two?" she examined them two and said "Put them in a room make sure they treated well. I must talk with this boy." "Yes ma'am!" the guards have brought them to a room and laid them on a luxury bed with fine silk and and cotton. I woke up and she said to me "Ah I see that you have awaken." "Ugh! my head. Wh-where am I? Who are you?" "I'm Tori Sanasaki empress of the village of the flames." "Your Tori? I always thought you were a..." I said with confusion "A guy?" she asked me and laughed a little. "Silly boy as you can see I'm a woman" Tori wore a orange and red kimono with a princess tiara with a fire stone in the middle, white shoes of a ballerina, medium sized breast. she was very beautiful almost as beautiful as my mom. "wait where's Kasai and Aisu? I hope you didn't hurt them" I said with worry "Rest assure Mazurka they are in a bedroom and they fine they are just sleeping. this Village does not hurt any travelers especially those who seek for answers." I was shocked to hear her say my name. "H-how do you know my name? Wait you sent me that scroll and told me that you know about my family and the person who killed them." "Indeed I did but unfortunately we have not found the man who killed your family" I looked down and said to her "I see but you know the person who did it?" "I do. Her name is Lady Kadoshi Takumia. She is very dangerous and one of the most deadly killers in the world. but i warn you she is very strong, and she'll take anyone out within the moment she strikes." I was intimidated by the images of this person who could take out her enemies in one single strike, But I had a feeling that I can beat her and avenge my family. "Where can I find her?" Tori had to memorize the place to where I can locate her "She's in the Fugikou Academy. But I don't think you are ready to fight her in this state, I can feel your anger and rage get in the way of your body. you let your emotions run wild and you don't know how to control your powers. But don't worry, I have someone who can teach you how to control your fire abilities. Her name is Shima Akashiya." I was shocked to hear about this and my mind was wondering around but I thought about it "Shima Akashiya? Hmm..I hope she can teach me how to control this power. Maybe she's really strong." Tori looked at me and she said to me "Well what do you think Mazurka?" I looked at her and said with confidence "Okay. I'm ready to be taught. I'll do my best to learn my abilities." "Very well, you will meet her in the center of the training field just about two miles from here. You'll find her there."
