Long ago there lived a clan of samurai warriors who fought for the justice of others who went down after an enemy clan eliminated the whole clan except for one...The Chosen.

It was morning when the birds tweeted and the lions roared into the distance waking up the hero of our story, Cory Williams a simple farm boy?
Cory:HEY! You know I can hear you right?
Oh I'm sorry Cory
Cory:*rolls eyes* you should be always talking!
I'm sorry how can you even hear me I'm a talking voice 😭
Cory:like you already said, I AM THE CHOSEN!! (LIGHTNING AND THUNDER APPEAR)
yeah yeah anyways back to the story
Cory:wai-
(Page flips)
The boy started his day by making his way from the barn he slept in and made his way to the main house where he would accompany his mother in doing chores.
Cory:hey Ma!
Cory's mom:hey my baby! (kisses his forehead)
Cory:(groans in disgust) ma... (Whines)
Cory's mom:oh shhhh anyways I know that you know your birthday is coming up?
Cory:yeah ma I know,why? (Looks up from his food)
C

ory's mom: well... You know how I've been working extra hard?
Cory:yeah?
Cory's mom:well I raised enough money for you travel!
Cory couldn't believe what his mother had said he dropped his spoon out of disbelief,he had always wanted to travel ever since his father died an honorable death.
Cory:MA! Are you joking?,please don't be joking!
Cory's mom: (dead pans) boy why would I play about this?you know how hard I worked my back is about broken (laughs)
Cory laughs too at his moms slight joke,but he was slowly pulled back to the realization...
Cory: ma who will be here to help you when I leave?
Cory's mom chuckles at her son's question for she already knew her answer,she had hired a teenage boy who the towns people found on the outskirts of town he would be her apprentice on the farm to help with the heavy duty work, Cory finished his breakfast and headed back to the barn behind the main house where he began to pack his things he was so excited it was going to be his first time off on his own,he would be going on the biggest adventure of his life....by himself.
After two hours of packing and deciding what he should or shouldn't pack he was ready he didn't want to leave just yet he wanted to wait a little before he left so he went to eat dinner and soon drifted off to a deep slumber.
In Cory's dream
Cory hurried through the house to hear a dog's whine he dropped to his knees in defeat and agony what the life fade from his trusted companions eyes,he let tears fall as he soon heard the scream of his other companion,he quickly stood up and clenched his sword dashing to the whimpers of the girl only to find her held back by a knife to her throat with a man in camo on behind her threatening to slice her throat any second.
Cory:STOP!Why are you doing this?
•••:you are the last survivor and I have to end you now
Cory: Don't hurt her! (Grips his blade while his knuckles turn white)
•••:I refuse to take orders from a dirty blooded samurai! (Hisses in anger)
The unknown man takes the blade and slits the girls throat following through with the threat,Cory ran in slow motion while he screamed all you could hear was rain and his cry's and protests in slow motion as the girls body dropped to the floor.
Cory woke up drenched in sweat he was breathing heavily,this was the first time he has had a dream like this,his mind started to race about the dog and the random girl from his nightmare he was so focused he almost forgot what today was until his mind reminded him,he quickly got dressed and rushed to main house with his luggage which was just a simple bamboo backpack filled with clothes and his special tiny knife he had gotten with his first hard earned money,he left his barn looking back as he approached his mother's house entering for the last time.
Cory walked into the main room where his mother was sitting on the floor meditating with her cross, Cory waited a couple of seconds until his mother opened her eyes looking at her son with pride and sadness, sadness that he would leave her but he had to,he had so much potential... She said and reached behind herself pulling out a covered cloth,Cory stared at the cloth in shock could it be what he thinks it is?.
Cory's mom:my son...
Cory waited impatiently for his mother to continue talking.
Cory's mom:I have a parting gift that your father was supposed to give you now on your birthday but unfortunately he cannot be here to do that...
Cory's mom looked down blinking away the tears as Cory got the cue and came to hug her pulling back after a minute to hear what else she has to say.
Cory's mom:it a family heirloom passed down from generation to generation,you must journey my son for it is in your blood and your destiny.
Cory held the blade in his hands eyes open in disbelief he couldn't believe it the sword was the one from his nightmare from last night,he accepted the board and walked with his mom outside,he turned around taking in the night of his mom,the sight of the house of everything he ever knew,his mother handed him two wooden boxes bentos and some dried fruits and containers of water for the road,she smiled and hugged her son holding in a whiff of his scent for she feared she would not see him for a while he hugged back letting the hug marinate,he soon released his mother and put the bag on his shoulders starting to walk off watching as the further he walked the more everything faded,I would what would await the 18 year old boy as he went on this adventure.
