My hands have reached this series of scrolls ... Naru-San Hiruma has granted to me, seems to be some kind of record and I suppose that I should continue. It's a clever idea, so we have a count of how many of us have died in ... well, the course of our responsibilities granted.
But mine manners, Samurai reader. I come, I Iuchi Samir, a clan Shugenja unicorn, so ... it may be a strange name to most, however, I have my reasons for it and do not be fooled ... they are very good reasons, but I get distracted as ever ... of course, that's another story.
Yasuko-san had been hanged for a relatively short time we had finished completing a part of our duty and our gempukku finished. We need to describe "us "?... yes! I will not let you stay with the impression of a crab, just because he wrote a scroll before me. We
"we" in the wall of the carpenter, finishing our routine. The rain never ended and morale was so low, what more could you ask a group of samurai looked down upon by all the wall?.
Sitting and watching the sky, busy as I soaked my business with no escape. To my left, a few meters was Kyo.
Armed with his no-dashi, the apprentice witch hunter spoke to no one hardly ever, only seen him talk a lot with his Master Kaki-Sama the Witch Hunter. Their attitudes always give me a bad feeling, her eyes gives me a bad feeling, his scarred ugliness in the face gives me a bad feeling, his obvious derangement toward Jade gives me a bad feeling the truth ... I try not to look far, because it gives me uneasy.
Beside him, a tall crab with tetsubo monitors on hand. Hida Kanamishi is his name, before I understood how it could be that Kanamishi were in the same condition as the rest of us, seemed to be a great warrior and it was, however sometimes suffered a rare attack in which shaking a lot, the disease seemed to haunt the enlightened and maybe that was the reason I was here.
To my right was Hiruma Naru, a browser-loving tea leaves. Almost every return, Naru tea for everyone. Well, but sometimes could not see Kyo ... some minor conflicts between them, but was resolved quickly with a pair of eyes.
and away from us, lies the martial Hiruma Ideku of himself in battle seems as if the same kami make possession of his body. The guy lives to fight, his strange personality is indescribable, it is limited to fights and most Sometimes it happens to socialize with others.
coming back from the wall that day, we went to our rooms. A cold place made of solid rock, strange beds, one above the other and some other rodent from time to time ... but could not be worse than seeing all those onis tormenting the wall. The truth began to get used to our place of rest. Ideku was absent, did not return with us, really never knew where he was going.
A loud knock at the door, Naru-San is directed to open while the others followed him with her eyes. A guard is waiting under the porch, huge armor after watching us all with serious Hiruma asks you to stay away to make way for our new colleagues.
After the huge crab, faces the first figure, a young unicorn Bushi Shinjo family as I could recognize. With long hair and looked very calm, the bushi is presented as Kaharu. The second person to arrive was a Samurai-ko Shinjo, also very young. Murasaki Shinjo seemed to be always smiling, sympathetic character, like mine before getting here. Shinjo was followed by another, called Akira, this was very young, did not say many words. After a Hiruma, assumed by their clothes ... Hiruma _____, seemed to know Naru-san, they talked a while, but I heard his words very well. Then we present Kuni _____,. Shugenja Clearly the crab, I should mention that everyone in the room seemed to be astonished by his presence, finally Benten fortune blessed him.
As soon as the guard was back Ideku looking very exhausted ... try asking that had happened, but I responded with a resounding "not interested" has never been very sociable as explained above. The unicorn came to me. Sure you can, with this group and their faces were not very friendly to be expected. I immediately brought before them. The first Kaharu, seemed amazed by my name, I knew I was Gaijin precedence, and before he could continue his interrogation, he confessed that it was a story that one day he would tell in more detail. More closely noticing a strange tattoo on the forehead of Murasaki, seemed a little green diamond as soon noticed my gaze, she explained to me that was good luck. I was amazed at this strange decision, I could not avoid touching the tattoo ... that's when the visions started again.
"During the confusion of the images in my mind, can see in the distance what looked like a green plain, Murasaki waited in silence and soon Kaharu-San is situated next to the Samurai-ko, which could see it seemed be a meeting "soon
have returned to control my body and me away from it covering my eyes ... While still looking at me excuse of being tired and went to my bed, the only tape I had and savanna I closed my eyes ... I do not like the visions, not stand, whatever they say is a real problem ... this place filled me with nightmares and sickness, a darn without a doubt, full of evil spirits ... I would be away from here, the desert, watching the stars ... as I'd like to see the stars one more time ... I fell asleep ...
In my dreams My grandfather told me to concentrate, stay away from me and I focus beliefs in magic. Patience, always patience.
The next morning, as usual, Hida Bikomi-Sama who was "in charge" of us went into our rooms. The most experienced, literally jumped from our beds (except for Kyo, preferring to sleep on the floor) before his arrival. As usual, following our orders also bark, which was to mobilize to the north of the wall, after a quick breakfast. Without more, we got some rations for the journey behind the wall, a long trip and little welcome awaited us, the others looked at us suspiciously samurai crab ... we were the shame of the wall and they made us look pushes "accidental." We try to do without causing further problems, soon began to rain. Rain burned strangely, I did not realize when it happened ... but everyone started running for cover from the deadly rain. We hid under a small roof, which seemed to be designed for these situations ... Once the rain stopped, we continue our journey.
Later it appeared that many samurai were focusing on the wall. We went to see, and we recognized the creature we spotted it before ... well, medium stained, because they said the rumors, a look was a samurai and was now protected by a fortune that prevented corrupt. While the samurai turn threw him food, the strange subject seemed to be happy and of course ... before leaving, take a look over his flute, performed a song and then just turned around to go back to the plains of the land Grim as if the world as normal ... I felt relieved his music, in fact was of great help to continue and forget a little landscape horrible I was.
The rest of the day was to travel along the wall, our group came to its first destination. Before us, the guard held his tetsubo crab and as you can imagine, was not very happy with our arrival ...
Kyo JOINING to talk to him, asked him a bit of jade and apparently did not have much luck ... these things happen when your caravan is not the most popular or best known.
The type is presented as Hida _____, near him was a young man he called ______ bushi ... funny, seemed to be that loser like us. ______
tried to set fire, so I could see, his fire was limited to a lot of false hope for drying our clothes. Thankfully, Naru-San will help and quickly obtained a good fire. As is customary with our friend, the browser Hiruma, I prepare a lot of tea. ____ Kuni offered to share his tea with me, well I obviously accepted. Both guards seemed to be happier now, at least they were addressed to us but the word. On the other hand, the new partner Hiruma ____ seemed to be smoking. Immediately remembered that smell was snuff, snuff true Gaijin land. A strange habit if we consider it a crab after all ... but who am I to talk about foreign customs, it seems that the way I breathe, it seems strange to people here in Rokugan. Hida
_____ Hiruma_____ approached, in a blink of an eye both smoked happy life. Paying a little more attention, I could see Hida gave her a beautiful pipe, the craft level of the object appeared to have value, maybe put together by some Kaiu. Who would say that these guys could make up their pipes walls, that aspect had the object if you ask me.
finished drinking tea and it was time to continue our duties. We stopped at the wall and began the guard. Samurai, this place is so amazing and also dangerous. It's hard being here, walking on the cold stone, rain on us, looks serious and unfriendly, yelling beyond what your eyes think they see a horizon dark and mysterious seems to be calling. I learn from these crabs every day to stay alive, to the shadows, always looks strong and proud and to the enemy, sparking fury mercilessly punishing. Fight as if every day were your last battle, I can say samurai, this place is frightening.
As we were standing and watching, I dedicated myself to do something really productive. I started to play my drums as hard as I could, every time I do, look at me as if it were the most unwanted visitors that might have come here. Yes, of course, but you know Samurai? I can only say ... Naive!, You can not rely solely on your katana and your arm is more than his little eyes are merely the spirits. All evil in this place cursed by the same nameless, they all look at us and wish us the worst, we are tortured with jealousy and only the naive may not realize ... that is why we help this drum, each drum beat away a evil spirits. You may not understand but my drum was heard from here to the burning sands if you like my will. There
interest in Shinjo Kaharu and Murasaki-San, I explained to both the subject, but only Murasaki really seemed to understand my devotion to what I do as I wish that my other colleagues to give him as much importance as her. Once you finish, take an incense and said some prayers while leaving the essence from spreading through the air, one more time, only the samurai-ko helped me.
In the distant sky, something is approaching rapidly. Winged beasts attacked the walls, were huge, lizard-like faces and a snake body, supported and neglected by their membranous wings, we tried to achieve with their sharp claws.
I felt that someone took away the warmth of my body, I take the floor without being able to attack, evidently the fear of damage to the wall, under the same conditions, Kaharu remained not far from the rest. Hideku awaited them with his tetsubo, while the panic seemed desolate, the crab was pending one in particular, to the time of the crash.
