Chapter 3 - Awaken

Chapter 3

In a mysterious, realm Tabuyashi wakes up to find himself surrounded by spirits of his forefathers, yet he has not come to realize who they were since their faces were not visible.

One stepped up and greeted him, "Tabuyashi, we have seen the horror's which have descended on you and your family, We mourn with you son. But now is not the time to rest, or join us in this void of emptiness".

He looks at him and desperation clouded his mind,"What can I do, I failed at protecting my family, I have nothing", They stare at him and the mysterious spirit continues,"Your son is not amongst the dead, he still continues to live as we speak". Upon hearing those words Tabuyashi looks up in disbelief and stands up, he looks at him and asks him how does he know this is facts he speaks of.

The spirit places his hand on his head and shows him a view from a eagle which was passing by when the ninja was killed, and Rui walking with Suko."Oh my god, you speak the truth. Thank you, now i may rest knowing he is safe". The spirit tells him there is a way for him to return, to seek out to truth, avenge his family and save the realm from the evil that surrounds the royal family."How will that be possible, I died".

The Spirits all draw their katana's, Held them with two hands before their faces and a white aura burned on their swords."Tabuyashi, close your eyes. Imagine your son, the village you lived in, the feel of the earth, the wind, the sun. Once you have them sinked into your mind, take a deep breath".

As Tabuyashi commences this task, he feels a warmth on his neck, a shock flows through his body, and in an instant his body burns as all the spirits enter him and reconstructs his body. A bliding white light shines and all the spirits, including Tabuyashi vanish in the blink of an eye.

Birds chirp and sing in the distance, water splashes and flows, Tabuyashi feels the sun warming his face and body as the grass comfortably cushions his body. His eyes slowly open and he wakes up in a field next to a forest, he gets up and scans his surroundings and realises he is close to his village, nearly a few miles out. He gets up and remembers the conversation he had with the spirits, his mind starts overthinking, "Am i really alive, how is this even possible, I dont feel any pain, no wounds from my last battle, how??".

As soon as his thoughts almost overwhelmed him the spirit spoke,"Tabuyashi, be calm. There is no need to be scared, we have entrusted our spiritual energy to you, we have faith you can save your bloodline and the realm from total chaos. There are many who have been corrupted by the darkness which has arisen, your time in hidding has saved you from the many evils which have befallen the kingdom. It is up to you to discover who the minions and followers of this unknown evil is and destroy them, I shall be your guide. Now lets go find your son".

Tabuyashi was silent as the spirit spoke and just nodded and said,"Ok"
