The weeks were long and grueling and we all wanted to relax for a bit being on the move all the time is horrible. This is the warriors curse. I loathe it but fame doesn't come easily.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; The capital was huge it made me marvel at the fact that it was so huge. There was of course a parade upon the emperor's arrival. He was a good man though I believe he had a dark past that he wouldn't speak of. He was quiet, but even too quiet for a cat. He was as if he was a ghost, not a cat.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I could never voice my opinions for that was treason. The act of such would have me stripped of my honor leaving a shell of what I am today. I could never do that I would never do that any way he was truly a great master of whatever he was before.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; After the short parade there was time to d whatever I wanted. I went to a local dojo; they were all sparing with one another. They were moving relatively slow though most said I moved rather fast. I looked around for someone to fight. I was just a kimono and obi, so I wasn't hampered by weight, probably a stupid move in hind sight a stupid idea.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I found someone who looked up to my level. Time would only tell if he was though considering my past training. I bowed to him and got into a fighting stance. I let him strike first and I blocked him easily. I continued to let him try to hit me and I continued to block him. I finally got tired and struck him in a rapid flurry. After I was done he collapsed in a stupor. He would be out for several hours based on how hard I hit him.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; Bored I left seeing that there would be no one who was up to my level of intensity. They didn't seem to care although they were shocked that I had taken him down so easy. I was just too good, in a simple stetting.\n\n\"You look like you could a special deal,\" a sea turtle said.\n\n\"Who is the judge of that, might I ask,\" I said demandingly.\n\n\"This one is,\" he said while pointing to himself.\n\n\"Well this one thinks you have brain rot,\" I said incredulously.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp; I then walked off; in no particular direction of choice. I had never been I a place so filled with life yet so dead to it. The planet was buzzing around them and none seemed to care. I found this appalling, never in the towns I had visited before were this dead to the birds and other wild life around them it pisses me off...\n\nShort I know this I have a harder time with this series for me to write.\n\nShout out to: Averis and havenofimage\n\nThanks to: Averis, havenofimage, Dasher Cheetah, and anyone else who has read the series\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
