Description Battle 01: A new beginning…
Jaq Vs Kaosu

Jaq pulled himself up from the dirt. He had blood on his hands.
All around him lay bodies slain, hundreds of bodies. It was a massacre.
What had happened here?
“Did I do this?” he asked himself.
His mind runs blank.
“Who am I?”
“Where am I?”

Jaq picked up the heavy sword from the ground. The moonlight shimmered in its blade. He felt a connection to the blade. Like it was his only ally.

As he lifted himself on to his knees, he felt the weight of a heavy shield on his back.
He forced himself to his feet and started walking.
Walking to find the truth…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moon shone bright over the rolling hills.
The breeze lapped over the long grass.

Jaq walked through the night. He had spoken to some farmers who had told him of a large town to the south. Perhaps there might be clues there.

As he wandered he noticed someone ahead of him walking in the other direction.
A young man. He carries an oversized blade on his back.

Jaq put his hand on the hilt of his blade. He was ready.

The young man was laughing. He flies at Jaq, screaming.
“Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Jaq dodges his attack, but as he passes by the boy, he whispers something.

Whatever it was the boy said, it triggered something in Jaq’s mind. He could see a shadowy figure standing over him. He felt powerless. A bright white light blinds his eyes. And then it was gone.

The young man stood there laughing at jaq, who was now on his knees trembling.

Jaq unsheathed his sword and launched himself at the man.
They battle fiercely under the moonlight. The clash of metal in the air.
Jaq feels power rage through his body. With every blow he felt stronger.
With every blow he moves faster.

Jaq out manoeuvres his opponent in every way, the boy does not even land a single blow on him.

The battle does not last long, soon Jaq overwhelms the man. With one final sweep of his sword the man is beaten.
He falls to his knees, holding himself up with his blade.

“ANSWERS NOW”, shouts Jaq.
“But I”, whispers the man.

Jaq puts out his hand, the boy takes it.
He helps up the young man.
Kaosu :“Kaosu, kaosu is my name. I’m sorry for goading you before. Sometimes I just can’t help myself.”
Jaq: “You mentioned something about a tournament”,

Kaosu explains about the Samurai Duelers League.
Kaosu : “You might find some answers there”

They two men stand and look at each other, they nod with acknowledgement; they have both taken something from this battle.

They shake hands and part ways.
Jaq continues on the path to the south.

A new ally, perhaps…
