Kemuri's Past! Chp. 1

Change. The only thing that is constant, this you learn in the wild, in the ever revolving cycle of seasons of the forest. Through easy springs, dry summers and wicked winter ice the scope is forever shifting. As such is life, and if you can read the sky, you can see the change coming.

At least thats what my sensei told me as I departed in what could be the last time I see him. He told me before I left that he sees a change in the wind and that I should let it guide me to the answers I seek.

As cryptic as sensei could be at times, I took these words into concideration, though I couldn't help feeling as if he was holding something back. The look in his eyes made this wind give me a cold chill down my back. Something was in the air, and I could feel it building up like a storm slowly pulling more strenth to it.

For a long time now I've had questions that my sensei couldn't answer... or wouldn't. He was a rather quiet man, never really giving ya full answers but had the patients of a over heated bull. Too much picking and you'll get a stick to the face quick. I can't complain too much though, he was a marvelous teaher and I learned many crafts, he seemed to enjoy that. As I grew up there came the time that I needed to know things.

Like why we lived a life of seclusion, where we came from and countless others. Some sensei would anwser some he wouldn't. Mainly why he choose to be a hermit, perhapse he didnt have a choice...

He had told me about how he found me and my mother, aswell as the katana and emblem. He said he knows nothing of their background, but it was hard to always trust the words of someone that has shame of their past.

Needless to say I grew stir-crazy, the things I didnt know swirled inside of me like a typhoon. I pleaded with sensei to let me find my past and search for my families killer. But he told me the time was not right, winds were not blowing in my favor. I felt infuriated waiting for these winds, but could do nothing else, for I have traveled far and wide in the forest, but never have I seen the edge. Only sensei could point me the right direction.

So I trained harder than ever and bided my time until I could, like the wind, be free. Then the day came, and the change was felt. He told me the journey in which would lead me to civilization. He then explained to me the history of the SDL and that the answers I seek lay within it.

I've set out on my journey, and there are a few homes of others in solitude that I could stay at along the way. So here I am further than I've ever been, what will it be like when I get there? I can't wait to set out in the morning, every step gets me a little closer to my goal...
