[IP] Ronin

Soft and calming music poured slowly from the flute and into the melancholic stillness of the night, ever so calming and ever so gentle.The lonely ronin continued to play the gentle but yet desolate music which seemed like it could almost lull listeners to sleep. The billion stars shining overhead made the scene all the more mesmerising. A shooting star streaks across the star-lit sky; another one and another one.

Samurai Jack, the lonely ronin wondered if he ever would return to his parents. His father...and his mother.

"If only I had destroyed whatever was left of Aku at that moment."

Jack soon started to reminisce of the happy days he spent with his family, until Aku struck. "It's amazing how things can change in an instant", Jack wondered.

"I probably should've said bye.", with a voice of woe and regret. A regret which remains to this day.

The crickets and cicadas buzzed among the brush and so did his mind.

But he had to let go and even if he had killed Aku, there would be no certainty that he would return to the past and re-unite with his family. He had to move on.

And so, with a heavy heart and a heavy mind... Jack stopped playing, packed up and slowly walked. Where he was going he did not know. But putting an end to Aku's rule would certainly be a step in the right direction.

Everyone had to move on and let go and Jack was no exception. Keeping that in mind, Jack walked and walked, as he always has.
