Dawn of the new era

Chapter 3

Alittle ways past the market town they had just previously walked through, they finally arrive in front of shuras dojo. The outside of the dojo looks like a huge sturdy exquisite wooded temple with various slide open doors for the entrance of it. The boy already gets over excited just from the sight of the dojo. He proceeds to open one of the lower left doors of the dojo his mother follows right behind him and with well manners they take off there footwear before entering leaving them next to the entrance way.    

The young prince views the inside of the dojo in the same excited fashion as he always has, nothing has changed in the the place it feels comforting and soothing as it always has it feels like his second home. As he looks at the interior of the dojo its a wide open wooded floor where students would normally train in there swordplay. As he scans the room a slide open door are place on the right and left side of the dojo connecting it to separate rooms. The boy now looks at the opposite side of the dojo across from them a shrine can be seen with a small sculpture placed on top of it, with flowers placed both sides of the sculpture. The list of rules for the dojo are placed hanging on the wall above the shrine. A list of many different type of swords hang on the back wall of the shrine that hang up on display. In front of the shrine a carpet is placed down neatly.   

A charming man kneel down on the carpet in front of the shrine. He wears a pure white kimono, he appear to be around his middle 20's perhaps the same age as the young prince mother. He faces the entrance with his eyes closed in a dignified manner, it looks like he is meditating in the tranquil dojo alone. 

The young prince spots the man and quickly rushes over to him the boys mother follows and walks carefully behind him. "Greetings my master shura for we had arrived at last!" The young prince beyond thrilled looks at shura in admiration, hearing the boys voice he stops meditating and opens his eyes he starts to stand up from the carpet he had been kneeling on. "Good day shura apologizes for out late arrival, i do hope you'll once again look after my beloved son today." The mother warmly smiles to shura. "Dont worry M'lady rest assured he is safe in my care." Shura guarantees the prince safety with a caring smile to the mother as he turns his attention to and looks downwards at the young prince who has adoration filled eyes, as he looks up towards shura with an eager smile on his innocent face. "May you grow in hight everyday my student, i still remember when you first arrived in my dojo, you use to be so short how old are you now?" Shura reminisces about there first encounter. "I am the 8 year of age master shura!" The young prince happily reminds shura with a big smile on his face. "Yes that is correct you appear ever the more thrilled to be here, what happened to be such a joyous occasion?" Shura ask in wonder with a conformable smile to the boy.       

"I have seen many of the sights of new as my trip walking here, i had the honor as to be trying out what had been claimed an apple! as well as my chance encounter with a girl who'd be friendly to my being and offered to show how to wear a necklace it was to be really of the fun!" The young prince explain in an gleeful tone of voice still looking up to shura. "That sounds like quite the adventure you had today youll have to tell me all about it someday." Shura gives him a friendly smile. The young prince overwhelming emotions show plain as day on his face. "Yes indeed for my word you have! another day it be to wait, i am ready and await to learn of the next lesson you have to offer master shura! The young prince admiration becomes even more apparent as he talks with shura. "Very well my student what say you that we skip basic training today and show M'lady here how much you've improved in swordplay?" Shura suggest in a zealous manner to the joyous boy standing in front of him. "That would be most excellent! mother do please watch the closely as i am to finally beat you today master shura, so do not hold back or it would be all for naught!" The young prince initial admiration towards shura turns into ambition at the thought of finally beating him in swordplay, After hearing the prince declare that he will win shura laughs it off with a considerate smile to the boy. "Thats an excellent mind-set you acquired you heared your son!" Shura gives a friendly smile to the mother who stands behind the young prince. "Understood i eagerly await to see how well my two precious men perform." The mother happily obliged and walks over to the carpet by the shrine so she doesnt get in there way of training.
